Actionscript 3 :: Access All Of Children Of A DisplayObject Programatically??

Nov 16, 2010

How do access all of the children of a DisplayObject using code? (I'm looking for something like movieclip.children)

I'm using this in two cases:

1) To loop through and reposition all of the children of an enclosing MovieClip.

Or

2) To loop through and delete all of the children of a MovieClip

ActionScript 3.0 :: [CS4] Children Inside Children - 1119: Access Of Possibly Undefined Property NumChildren

Jan 12, 2011

I have a Sprite called pageContent. Inside pageContent are 12 more Sprites with unique names, a couple of Buttons, and some TextFields. Inside each of the 12 Sprites I have either one or two TextFields and one TextInput. My question is, since they are children inside a child of pageContent, how can I access them? Here is how I am trying to do it:

[Code]...

In my mind, this should totally work. But surprise, surprise, it doesn't. I have debugged it and it works fine for the first two lines, but when it tries to get numChildren of a Child of pageContent (line 3), I get this error: PHP Code: 1119: Access of possibly undefined property numChildren through a reference with static type flash.display:DisplayObject.

Flex - Access Children Of Children Recursively?

Mar 10, 2010

I have a Canvas which has many components inside it and those again, have many components inside them.

getChildren() returns only the top level children. What is the best way to retrieve all the children (children of children of children and so on).

Well, I sorta know how to do this by iterating through the children, but the code is really messy. I'd prefer to use a nice recursive function. Has anyone written this before? Or is there a Util class to do this?

AS3 :: Flash - Only Allow Access To Certain Properties On DisplayObject?

Jun 16, 2011

I have a getter within a class which is used to make my property skin:DisplayObject read-only. This class also has a property body:AvBody which is used to define the x y width height etc of the object, which in turn positions the skin.

What I want to do is disable access to the properties x and y on skin unless accessed from within the internal namespace (where AvBody is also located) Is this possible?

Note: I can't make skin any type other than DisplayObject (I can't even make skin a class that extends DisplayObject because it creates issues with library symbols).

Code:
trace(B.parent.v);

the above code is not working. and I need something similar. is it possible??

Flex :: Access Children Elements In A SWC?

Feb 17, 2010

Does anyone know if its possible to access children elements in a SWC? I have created some MC's and inside of some of these MC's I have some dynamic textFields. I export the content to a SWC and load it into my Flex project. No problem loading it or accessing the parent elements, they display fine. But I want to access the textfields nestes in the MC's and modify the text. When I debug the app, I can see the textfields as child elements. It's typed as a TextField and the Instance Name is the same as input in the Flash IDE but I cannot access it. When Flex compiles it throws an error saying it doesn't recognize the method. I've tried to insert actionscript on the timeline, linked external classes and nothing can be accessed.

Actionscript 3 :: Global Var Of Type SimpleButton Changes To DisplayObject For Unknown Reason - Won't Letting To Access .upState.textColor

Jan 28, 2010

This is a problem that's best explained in code. I don't see how active_button.upState, which I know is a TextField (see trace statements), mysteriously turns into a DisplayObject when I try to access the textColor property. I've included the error messages below for reference. Also, why is it that when I have an object that I know is a SimpleButton (again, see traces) I need to cast it to SimpleButton in order to store it in a var? That doesn't make any sense to me.

Flex :: Cannot Access ArrayCollection's Children In Datagrid

May 22, 2009

I've got a Flex 3 application with an HTTPService returning an Atom feed. I catch the result from it and store it in an arrayCollection which is then the provider of my Datagrid. I have no problem accessing the data from the "first-level" of my Array, but cannot go under it. Not very clear, so here is some code:

My XML [part of it]:

<entry>
<title>Test 2</title>
<id>http://collaboration.*****.com/collaboration/messaging/feeds/****/todo//7D6637D3E86B3ED3C12575B***8479</id>
<link rel="alternate" href="notes:///C12575B4004***8

[Code]....

The "title" column shows the data correctly, but the status column is empty ! When I launch my app in debug mode, I can see that my notesArray has the correct format and I can access todo -> status with the value..

ActionScript 3.0 :: Access Children From Loaded SWF With SWFLoader?

Flash :: Check If DisplayObject A Is A Descendant Of DisplayObject B?

Oct 26, 2010

I would like to be able to quickly check if a given DisplayObject is a descendant (not in the inheritance sense - ie. child, grandchild, great-grandchild, great-great-grandchild, etc.) of another DisplayObject. There doesn't seem to be a native way to do this and I can only think of two ways to achieve it: Create the mother of all nested loops. Seems a bit, I dunno, wrong? Dispatch a bubbling event at the 'child' and check if the potential 'parent' receives it.

Actionscript 3 :: Access A Displayobject On Stage In A Class That Is Not A Document Class?

Mar 7, 2012

How to access a display object on the stage in a class which is not a document class?

I am looking for a solution that doesn't involve passing the stage as a parameter to the class.

One solution i always come across is using "TopLevel.as". Is it a good method because as far as I have heard using global variables is not recommended because it might cause some problems while working on big projects.

Flash :: Programatically Swap Objects?

Aug 16, 2011

I basically have this and what I need to do, is when the user clicks on one of those boxes on the right, it'll appear in the yellow box on the left.

Each of those right boxes will be unique with different graphics. It'll basically be different graphics to be displayed on a T-shirt, which will be represented by the big black square.

Now I know that each of those graphics should be a button symbol with mouse click event, but I'm not really sure how to handle the event.

Should I just create a clone of that item and move it to the target area? Or is it possible to create some kind of blank placeholder where I could just display it?

When the external swf completes I would like to programatically click the TextField so that all the ActionScript within the TextField.onPress event will occur.I don't know how to programatically issue a click event. I could repeat all the code within the TextField.onPress event again within the external swf file but I thought it would be a lot easier just to programatically click the TextField again.

Way to take a piece of text and make it go around the edge of a line that is warped? (specifically, circular, but I'm sure once it's following the line, the shape is not relevant). I can't find a good resource for how to do this. I assume I'll need to create separate movie clips for each character and then rotate, and position, but I'm having a hard time finding a resource for how to do this.
