Actionscript 3 :: Flash : AddChild() Does Not Display Imported Movieclip?
Nov 19, 2009
I fought with the IDE and read around all day enough to learn that in AS3, the exported class name of a lib symbol matters.I have hello.fla. In it I created a simple textfield with a string ('hello') - coverted it to a symbol (movieclip) and did the following:
made the classname 'Hello'.
Export for AS is checked
Export in first frame is checked.
Once i did all that i nuked the instance on the stage. I thought I might add some extra functionality later so I actually also built a Hello.as class, which extends MovieClip, and which lives in the default pkg* and the whole fla builds fine:
package
{
import flash.display.MovieClip;[code]....

The above script, i got it from one of the ActionScript 3.0 book. i just work it out in flash. But it shown error 5000: The class 'priyan' must subclass 'flash.display.MovieClip' since it is linked to a library symbol of that type.

I am using a flipbook Flash/Actionscript 3.0 framework for a digital magazine[url]...
You can have videos embedded in the pages of the flipbook, but they can not be display fullscreen like Youtube videos, for example.
The flipbook can also import swf files to display as pages of the flipbook, so another way of embedding videos into a page of the flipbook would be to have the video player in the swf page you are embedding. This gives you more control over the style and the positioning of the video.
My question is: Is there a way with AS3.0 to togle the embedded video from normal predefined size to fullscreen and back?

I'm trying to see if there's a way to change the registration point of a MovieClip that's importing an image dynamically?Here is my code where I add an image to an "overlayHolder":
overlayBitmap = _loader.getBitmap( _data.id + "-overlay_image" );
overlayHolder.addChild(overlayBitmap);
overlayHolder.x = _data.overlay_left;
overlayHolder.y = _data.overlay_top;
What I need to do is rotate this image later on, upon interaction from someone, but need it to rotate with a center-registration.I've seen a bunch of tutorials/forums talk about centering a registration point when you're drawing a Sprite on the stage, but not when you're importing an image.

How do I make sure that a movie clip that starts on the stage has a higher zindex then when I addChild and add a linked movieClip from the library.
Really my code is pretty simple
background_image = new Sprite();
main_container.addChild (background_image);
But I have a movieClip "message_box" that I dragged onto the main timeline. When i add the background_image which is the full size of the stage it overlays the "message_box"
I know you can set the childs index but how do I set the "message_box" index?

I have gotten the AR tutorials from [url]....and are having fun with the flarsquidderkit for multiple pattern detection.However I would like to have a start page, and a high score page for the game based on this, and have tough time figuring how to make the timeline code works for this.
flarsquidderkit have extended papervision3d and has its own 3DdisplayObject, and the flash's MovieClip addChild() is not working.how to extend the movieClip class when my document class has already extended another super class,and also if I can control the score via timeline instead of dumping every single thing in to the document class?

In my .fla file, in frame 1 on the main timeline, I have a Button symbol in the display list. When that button is clicked, a function removes it from the display list, then adds a MovieClip (created in the library & exported for AS3) to the display list, then plays the MovieClip. Within that MovieClip, on the last frame is the stop(); function. The MovieClip is an animation of a transition from one room to another.Everything works ok up to this point.
After the MovieClip is done playing, I need to add more whatevers to the display list (such as a button to transition back to the previous room).The problem is I don't know how to tell ActionScript to wait till the MovieClip has played before adding to the display list. When trying to get it to do so, it just skips to the last frame of the MovieClip, not playing the animation.
Code:
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.display.SimpleButton;

I believe this should be a very simple fix, but I cannot for the life of me get this working, and i've been playing with it all day. Basically I am trying to start working with classes, I want to attach a movieclip to a flash movie, from my class [its for a card game style thing]. But when I attach a movie clip, it does not appear on the screen,. It exists, I can trace its .x position etc.
Code:
Select allpackage arrayTrial{
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.display.MovieClip;
public class Deck extends MovieClip{
private var totalCards = -1;

I'm trying to simply add an instance of a movieclip from my library onto the stage using AS3 code. I've exported actionscripts for the movieclip in the first frame. Why does it want me to include a class name that is not being used by any other item in the library?
Also I call the library item like so:
this.addChild(box);
What steps am I missing? It keeps saying "1067: Implicit coercion of a value of type Class to an unrelated type flash.display:DisplayObject.

I've written a simple MovieClip replacement that converts an existing imported MovieClip to a sequence of BitmapData. This removes the requirement for Flash to render vector data in the MovieClip on each frame.
But BitmapData has a huge memory footprint. I've tried converting the BitmapData to a ByteArray and using the compress() method. This results in a significantly smaller memory footprint. But it has proven impractical. For each redraw, I tried uncompressing()'ing the ByteArray, then using SetPixels to blit the data to the screen, then re-compressing() the frame. This works but is terribly slow.
So I was wondering if anybody else has an approach I could try. In Flash, is it possible to compress bitmap data in memory and quickly blit it to the screen?
I wonder how native animated GIFs work in Flash. Does it uncompress them to BitmapData behind the scenes, or is frame decompression done on the fly?

Solution: if you have the same problem, addElement() instead of addChild() is what did it
I'm trying to move away from mxml to actionsctipt. I have a <s:Rect> that I've created and set its properties, but having trouble adding it.
var aRect:Rect = new Rect();
//set properties like aRect.x, aRect.y, aRect.width, aRect.height
//tried adding it various ways
addChild(aRect);
Application.addChild(aRect);

PBar contains two SimpleButtons (pBarProgress and pBarLoaded) and a MovieClip (pBarBg).I import pBar from the library like this:private var pBar:PBar = new PBar();and add it to a container MC on the stage like this:containerMC.addChild(pBar);Up to this point, everything works great. I can see pBar and its children on the stage when I run my movie. But then I want to start referencing and manipulating pBar's child objects, but nothing I do works. Ive tried ...pBar.pBarProgress.scaleX = 0;var pBarProgress:SimpleButton = Bar.getChildByName("pBarProgress") as SimpleButton; pBarProgress.scaleX

I consistently seem to run into an issue. When I addChild(mc), features and assets that need to be rendered on the display list, are not available immediately for actionscript access. For example, the use of MovieClip(root) and alpha manipulation (right? or not?) of the movieclip being added (or of it's children) does not seem to be available immediately. So, I have tried the following, which didn't seem to work either, but maybe it's correct and I had a complicating issue?
Let me know the "proper" way to know that a movieclip has been rendered so that I can access features requiring the asset to be on the display list? What I've tried is below:
var mc:MyMovieClipClass = new MyMovieClipClass():
this.addChild(mc);
this.addEventListener(Event.ADDED,mcReady);

I'm trying to make a basic mouesover and mouseout that will display a help/key box on the screen. I created the help box that will be displayed as a symbol called helpbox. I updated the linkage to export to Actionscript and called the class Helpme. The object I'm using to instantiate the Helpme class is a small graphic called helpcoast. I want the "helpbox" in the new class "Helpme" to be displayed only when the mouse is over the helpcoast graphic. When I test the movie and mouse over and mouse out of the graphic once, I get no errors, but if I mouse over it, then off it, then back over again, I get this error in the output box:

This is something I'm experimenting with, but haven't seemed to figure out... I have several MovieClips, basically the same, only different colors. As each one plays, I'd like it to "overlap" whichever one is already there. Right now I have each button linked to a gotoAndPlay function, but I don't think that will ever get me what I want. You can see how I have it now here: [URL]
Instead of having the content MovieClip go back to all white when a button is clicked, I'd like the preivious one to remain, and get "covered up" by the new one. You continue to see the old color, and the new color overlaps it. I have a feeling I need to use a variable and then addChild, with a removeChild for the old MovieClip after the new MovieClip has loaded, but I'm not getting any good results yet.

I have checked Export for ActionScript and Export in Frame 1.The code that adds it to the MovieClip is as follows:
public function addChip(chip:Number)
{
var newChip:ChipMovie = new ChipMovie();[code].....
In the output it says:

I imported a swf created in After Effects to Flash CS3 to make it interactive. Flash broke the "swf" movie into a number of keyframes (apprx 65 keyframes) which when previewed, plays all the keyframes one by one. I want it to stop at first keyframe and have a button over there, which when clicked will let the next 30 keyframes run without stopping. Then stop at the 30th keyframe which will have another button to be clicked to proceed to the the next 34 keyframes without stop. I have been trying the stop(), and gotoAndPlay nextFrame, but it stops at the next frame. One more thing, do I need to convert all the imported keyframes to graphic or movieclip ?

1- I imported an flv video file with "file->import->import video" and then put the object on the stage on a precise frame ( 71 and 79 ). Around the object player I created a transparent button as wide as the stage (67-82) which clicked brings you to another frame(2).The problem is that this work is a site and if you click on the transparent button you see a frame with contents but the movieclip playing is still on and user still ear the music and experience the bandwidth slow down. What I want to do is something like: movieclipinstancename.stop(); to stop the movie playing.
2- I'm triyng to understand the best way to import or use a movieclip, using AS3.
