Actionscript 3 :: Flex Element Wrongly Keeps Properties From Previous Parent - Reset It?
Oct 14, 2011
I want to put an element into another component (in this case a print template), print it, and then return it to its place. The problem is that when I return it, it has the properties of the print template! Here is a simplified example. When you click print, the label is removed and then returned but when returned it is affected by the padding of the print template! Why? How can I somehow refresh it to its proper properties? I tried all the invalidate... methods and parentChanged() but nothing worked.

Since I don't want scrollbar in my flex widget i am increasing the height of SWF through javascript, which increases with each addition of row in my datagrid. My query is how can I get the exact height of my VBox which is the parent element of datagrid. I am not able to get the height of VBox. I have tried to use measuredHeight,height with no success.

I have XML that looks like this:
<question>
<type_elt>
<opt_out_flag />
</type_elt>
</question>
type_elt is not an element name; it might be <single>, <multiple> or something else, determined at runtime. How, given this, can I detect the presence of the opt_out_flag element?
I tried this (where xml refers to the question element):
if (xml.*.opt_out_flag) {
do_something();
}
but even in cases without opt_out_flag the above expression returns true. Obviously I'm missing something, but what is it?

I'm trying to check if a clicked element is inside of an IVisualElement in Flex 4. So I want something like "if this element is in this element, then execute function". I'm aware of the 'parent' property but this doesn't seem to work when my element is not a direct child of the element but for example 3 levels deep.

I have a Matrix which I recycle and use for drawing DisplayObject instances onto a Bitmap. At the moment, I reset the Matrix before I render each item, like this:
_matrix.a = 1;
_matrix.b = 0;
_matrix.c = 0;
_matrix.d = 1;
_matrix.tx = 0;
_matrix.ty = 0;
Would it be better to do the above, or to simply do this?:
_matrix = new Matrix();
Generally I would say the former, however I'm unsure if in the case of Matrix there is some heavy stuff going on for each of those properties that I reset (mathematically).

I know how to pass vars from php to flash and from flash to a "new" php page but here is my question.
I have a php page (page1.php) with some HTML and a php variable called $number. page1.php also has an embedded test.swf movie. While working with the test.swf movie, I want to send data back to the $number var on the page1.php without reloading the page1.php because then it would reload the test.swf movie.
I have been able to use javascript to change background colors on page1.php from within the test.swf movie but cannot figure out how to set a php variable from within the test.swf movie.

I will do my best in explaining what is happening. I have a feeling it has something to do with how I declare things, but I am kinda new with AS3 so please have patience.
On my stage I have an movie clip (mContainer). In the library I have another movieclip (mElement), that has been exported for actionScript as mElement.

I have two swf file, A.swf and B.swf, each with its Document Class: B.swf is loaded in a MovieClip of A.swf. When loaded, B.swf creates an instance of CSDragger (it is a library object with its class extending MovieClip) and sets an ID property of this instance to a certain value. When this dragger is dropped by the user upon a MovieClip it sends a custom event containing the value of ID too. The custom event regularly reaches B.swf but never reaches A.swf. Aside from refactoring the CSDragger class (eg moving its handleDrop method in the B.swf document class), is there any way for the event to reach A.swf? I know I can intercept it and dispatch another event, but I was looking for a different solution (if any).[code]

is there a way to override a MovieClip's parent and stage properties? In a custom class extending the MovieClip class we can override the get parent() and get stage() methods. But is there a way to do it to existing MovieClip?
I mean I have an external swf content (loaded) and assigned to a movieClip. But now, how can I assign the loaded MovieClip to my custom class, so that it "doesn't see" the parent and stage properties?
Or can I override functions of existing classes? Sth like:
override public function myMovieClip["get parent"]():DisplayObjectContainer
{
...
}
I just need to prevent a loaded MovieClip from having access to the main movie's stage.

this is so embaresing and my whole business is suffering from this[URL].. the key point in my TextArea class which extends TextField is to load external swf files and I use the .parent property of the Loader class to access the textfield... with the new security updates coming with 11.2 I cannot access the parent and the whole thing crashes to give you more insight:
imagine that we have file.swf being loaded into the project using the flash.display.Loader class. from the document class of file.swf, I can access the loader like this, all ok till here _loader = this.parent as Loader

My player movie clip has a smaller movieclip within it. Because the smaller movieclip is not within the parent clip it changes the x,y,width,and height value of the player movieclip and throwing everything off! To adjust I have to add (-2ndmovieclip.height) to everything i want to do. This is sloppy and I don't like it. Is there a better way to have a child within a movieclip without it affecting the parents properties? i want the parent to keep its original x,y,width,and height properties but the child keeps adding to them!

i've got an inheritance chain of AS2 classes set up where i have an array in the 'child' class that i'd like to be able to access from the 'parent' class:
bottomClass.as -'parent'
topClass.as -'child'
my question/dilemma is: how can the parent access the properties of a child class...is this even possible, or am i just looking at it wrong?

Setting properties of a nested clip from the associated document class of the parent clip. I am developing a Jigsaw puzzle in Flash. I am developing a class for puzzle piece. The code of the PuzzlePiece class in given as follows.
PuzzlePiece class
package {
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
public class PuzzlePiece extends MovieClip {
private var pieceX:Number;
[Code] .....
Is it wrong to access it like that. The PuzzlePiece is the export for a puzzle clip. For the time being I am hard coding the dimension as 60. I have aloso uploaded the fla and as files. [URL].

Just new in forum and just new in as3 programming. All i want to do is to make some physics simulations (i'm physics teacher...). So i made my first sim with the following code, just to simulate a simple motion with constant velocity. It works ok, except the part i need to reset the display by the means to start the motion all over again (reset button). Then the motion starts but the traces of the previous motion remains on stage. I tried the null command (sp=null) but the sim could not start again because the sp nedded to be non-null...

I have an issue with adding a reset button to my drag and drop movie clips.The problem is, if a student drags a movie clip to a wrong location on the SWF file I want them to be able to hit a reset button that would take them the same SWF that they opened and what would showup would a clear page for them to restart their drag and drop exercise.I know how to make the button for this just want the proper action script to be able for user to start over with no movie clip symbols on the page.

movieclip.prototype.playBackwards = function(arg){
if(arguments.length>0) {[code]....
when it goes back, it goes back frame by frame without stopping but I want it to go only to previous Scene. instead of going to previous frame.Do i have to create a unique button? which i did but i didn't work?

[code]All clips are squared.Ok, on the PlayerPlane, there are little soldiers, which have hotkeys. The effect I'm trying to create is I want to position the GameStage so that the currently selected soldier appears in the center of the GameClicker clip.The GameStage is movable by the player (to scan other areas of the map)by holding the CTRL key, so it's easy to kinda lose track of where your players are.I have tried using localTo Global and globalToLocal techniques, but I think I'm lost on the actual math of getting the GameStage to move the correct distance so that the selected soldier is centered to the GameClicker.[code]

I'm using a progress bar to let a user know how much more live streaming video data is to be buffered before it starts playing.Have that much working fine.Problem is, if the buffer gets used up, and I need to rebuffer, I can't seem to get the progress bar reset and visible again. Seems once it hits 100% on app start up it can't be reused.I'm catching the proper NetStream.netStatus events.The hook for the empty buffer is there and is executing.I'm just not seeing how I might redisplay and start a fresh bar there?
I've tried bar.visible = true and nothing appears.Also tried making a new one and setting visible each time the buffer is empty but no dice.Seems to just be ignored.

I know that there is no such function as getElementByName in Flex but I also now that you can do this["object_id"] to get the element of the application u're in.What about getting an element inside another element?I've tried making element["id"] ? But in my try-catch it always runs the "catch" part..how do I get an element inside another element just having it's id in dynamically created string form?

I am using the flex HTML component and I would like to clear the history of the control when it is taken off screen, so that when it comes back on again the history is reset.
The only thing I can think of at the moment is to set the HTML control to a new HTML control, although this is a bit of a pain.
