Actionscript 3 :: Add Child To Scene From Within A Class
May 11, 2010
I need to create a new Stems object as a child of the scene when the user stops dragging a Star object, but do not know how to reference the scene from within the Star class's code.
I've tried passing the scene into the constructor of the Star and doing sometihng like:
this.scene.addChild (new Stems ());
But apparently that's not how to do it... Below is the code for Stems and Stars,
I'm trying to call a function in one child class (Circle.as) from another child class (Wedge.as). Circle.as is instantiated by the document class (Tree.as), and Wedge.as is instantiated by Circle.as. How do I do this? This is my code:
Tree.as package com.treediagram { public class Tree extends MovieClip {
[code]....
How to call a function in a Class from another Class?but it was a bit hard to follow as it relates to my problem. One of the solutions worked, but was commented as being bad form, and another did not work, so I want to make sure I structure my code properly.
I have a movieClip with one frame on the timeline containing one child whose instance name is "myContent"I am using this function to swap "myContent" with any number of possible class instances.
I wanted to create a portfolio in flash, so I designed the layout in photoshop, with different webpages in different groups. So groups i created: home, about, porfolio, contact, affiliates, topbar, menu.I use Creative Suite 3 or CS3I then imported the groups into flash as movieclips, using the import to stage function. here is the image of the main scene in the flash. (SEE IMAGE 1st thumbnail)I created a new layer on top of all the layers and used labels at equal intervals to differentiate between pages.here's the image depicting the same.(SEE IMAGE 2nd thumbnail)Now in the home movie clip, i made all the text layers as movie clips to make button animations and assigned sounds and actions to them i.e. rollver, rollout andclick events. here's the swf.(PM ME FOR SWF)I want to know the code or method to load the frame labelled ''about'' in the main scene when i click on the movieclip button 'about' which is in the movieclip 'home'. Here's the code i tried for the first 'about' button, but it returns error "1120: Access of undefined property event."
code: ActionScript Code: var OverSound:roll_over = new roll_over();
ive made a button in the scene 1 which i have managed to navigate to scene 2 but when i click the button it goes to scene 2 but displays everthing that is in scene 1 in scene 2, how can sort this out so upon the button click in scene 1 it goes to scene 2 and only display content in scene2.
i have a BasicMap.as that takes an Array and populates itself with the MC objects passed to it by a String reference.it inherits from Sprite, and so it just places the objects on its self.then i have a class that inherits from that class, and gives a little more functionality to it, but in order for it to do that, it needs to place the objects not on itself, but instead inside a holder Sprite, so here is my problem:
I think this is a pretty simply problem but I do not seem to be able to pull it off. Basically I have a parent class A, and a child class B.Class A instantiates class B with addChild.There is a shared object which is being updated from a java server (red5) that has an event listener attached to it in class A.I have a function in class A which will pass certain, specific updates from this shared object to class B.The problem occurs is that when class B is instantiated, the event listener from class A doesn't work anymore. I have not removed the event listener from A.?
Lets say I have a Main Document Class called Main. I also have a child class called childClass that call a function from the Main class and is also imported in the Main class. How should I call the function? I tried this , but when calling the function, it's getting me error.
everything here is fine. It opens finely. But... i want to pass parameters where if i click a button in html page My.swf should open a particular scene called 'Scene 2' rather than scene 1. i tried
I know that one can give a symbol already placed in the scene and instance name and be able to manipulate that object programatically through ActionScript in Frame actions. What I want to do instead, is bind that instance name to a class member so I can use it inside a class file and and eliminate the need for frame scripting.
I am new at this and I'm trying really hard to figure out what the ideal workflow is. I would like to use a fully OOP approach at developing my applications, however I like to use the graphical interface to position assets on the scene because I find it easier than positioning assets programatically. So the solution I am looking for is binding assets to class members. If such a workflow is not possible, what's the best approach in dealing with assets in a fully OOP design?
I have spent many hours trying to nut this one out.. I have an animated button which I am animating using a tween class. It works fine, my problem is this, I need to jump to another Scene after the animation has finished.
I have a SWF file having different scenes. This swf has one document class. I want to notify an event to a particular scene, when a change is happening in any function in document class. For example:
I have 3 scenes in an SWF and one document class. When a function will be invoked (from lower layer) in document class, I want to disable the button controls in Scene 2. How this is possible?
I have a picture on the stage that has multiple items that have hotspots/links over them that should open a child swf on top of the background and show details about the items. then have a button in the child swf itself that removes the child from over the background so the user can click on another item etc.I found this code in someone's post and I am trying to modify it so that works for multiple swf files...it currently works for a single swf.I wan to pass the name of the button in front of the .swf in the URLRequest to have the same name as the instance name of the referring button. But I can't figure it out. Here is the code I am using on the stage
I'm having trouble adding images to the screen from an AS3 class that's being called from within a flex application. I'm writing the application using flash builder CS5.
As far as I understand it, display content is added to the screen using the addchild() method of the display object. Every which way I try to add an image to a display object I get an implicit coersion error from image to whatever.
Is there a specific set of steps I need to take?(i.e. wrap the image in a container and then add that) Or is there another way to display an image on the screen programmatically?
This application is for a game and I need to be able to display these images via a class that handles the tiling. I've been able to work around the problem so far by declaring the images as native mx:Image flex components and then referencing them via my program, but that's only suitable as a temp fix. Is there some other way to display the images from actionscript?
I have one custom class named player, which plays video from RTMP Server. It has property named cliptime:Number and it holds the video's duration through the metadata.duration property. I have other class named controlbar which holds the control bar for the video. I use TweenMax.to to move It's video slider and I want the tween's duration value to be the player class' cliptime property. But I can't get this value. Both classes are child of ramesCont class and are added to it. framesCont and controlbar extends Canvas class, and player extends Sprite if it matters.
Im trying to build a class that moves around some movieclips on the stage, but it would never be that easy would it!
Code: package { import flash.display.MovieClip; public class Rotation extends MovieClip {
[Code]...
So I waddled it down to the "stage.addChildAt(mcContainer[i], i);" bit and I've tried everything that I could think of, but nothing seems to work.
With this version of the code, I would get "The supplied index is out of bounds." error, I can change it to addChildAt etc, but that just gives me a different error.
I had this working when it was in a flash file, its converting it into a usable class thats bugging me. All the MovieClips in the array are being exported for Actionscript.
I've been using greensock classes in a parent movie, but am now looking to use the same classes from within some child movies, but it doesn't work (I presently have to import them into each child movie - what a waste).
Do I need to create the classes as a shared library object perhaps? If so, how would I go about it? as I've only ever done this for MCs or MP3s.
I want to add a child to the stage for 5 seconds and then remove it. When I use the following code I get a "1120: Access of undefined property WordoScreen." error.
In particular the problem only occurs when I use the "removeChild(WordonScreen);" using the TIMER_COMPLETE. If I remove that statement I don't have a problem.[code]...
I am trying to make a "Achtung! die kurve" - like game in Actionscript 3.0. So far I've done the movement of one of the 'worms', and it works alright. I wanna divide it into different class files, but I can't seem to get it to work. I have a .fla file and 4 .as files. So far I only have code in two of these. When I put all my code directly into the fla file, it works perfectly fine, but when I put it into my player class, it won't 'add the child' to the stage. Here is my player .as file: [URL].
The reason why I commented the addChild, is because I wanna do this in my mainFile.as. This is from the main file: [URL]. I'm not quite sure how to call it in the main file, so I'm guessing that this would be the issue. All the files are named and placed correctly in the same folder, and flash says that each of my .as files are targeting the .fla file, so this doesn't seem to be the issue. How I can change the speed of my sprite.
I have a SWF with a document class called ClassA. I'm loading in an external SWF with a document class of ClassB. Then ClassB is loading in an external SWF that is used for graphical assets.
The problem is that all of the assets in the third SWF all extend a class called Actor. The assets swf is loaded and set as the var "_assets".[code]...
I have a movieclip (faceup) contained in another movieclip (card1), which is an instance of Card. I want to add a child to faceup from Card's class, however, I get a #1009 error.[code]...
chat.fla Code: Select allimport maero.entities.*; var p:Player = new Player(1, "player one");

There we go. What i want to do is, I want to create an instance of the Player class, which then creates an instance of the Actor class, which in the _draw() function should add an image to the stage, but I can't figure out how to do that. I want this image to be an instance in the Player's Actor instance, so i later can move it around, the same goes for the user name text. how do i add an image and a user name text field to the stage at player.__x and player.__y?
