Actionscript 3 :: Reference MovieClip After It Is Added To Stage As A Child
Nov 22, 2011
I am currently having problems referencing a MovieClip child which I add to the Stage from the Document Class. Basically when the MovieClip child is added to the Stage from the Document Class, I want a certain MovieClip already on the Stage to reference it once it is on the Stage.
Also, if it is possible, I don't want the MovieClip referencing the child being added to the Stage to have parameters linking it with the Document Class, because I plan on nesting this MovieClip within another MovieClip later on in the future.
Here is the code for the MovieClip class which is referencing the child once it is added to the Stage:
package com.gameEngine.assetHolders
{
import com.gameEngine.documentClass.*;
import com.gameEngine.assetHolders.*;
[Code].....

Is it possible to check, using Javascript and without altering the ActionScript code at all, if a child has been added to the stage? I have in mind something like being able to call GetChildByName in Javascript, and if the child exists, call another javascript function.

Is there a way to keep an object above a child that is being added to the stage?
Say I have a frame on the stage and I want to add different children to the stage, but want those children to fall under the frame that is already on the stage?

What is the correct event listener to detect a child added to the stage? I tried:
[Code]...
which doesn't work. I also tried ADDED_TO_STAGE but that doesn't fire it either. Do you know the correct way to detect when the child is added? Perhaps I should be attaching the listener to the parent instead?

I don't work with the Flash IDE very much, and I'm running into a problem with the unreliable creation order of components instantiated by the Flash IDE "magic".
Basically, I have to call a function on a loaded module. This function should only be called after all the module's children have been added to the stage.[code]...

[code]This is called as part of the die() function I've created for an enemy in the small game I'm making.The idea being that when the enemy dies, it attaches a movieclip of an XP orb.And it does this perfectly well.The issue is in the last bit of the code.I'm attempting to call the setType() function within the class that the XP orb is in.However, it isn't setting the type to 100.

I want to know if there is a way to add an ease function to a movieclip that has a tween added on the stage already? is there a way to specify the number of frames that I want it to ease? For example, say my tween runs for 25 frames, but I want the easeIn to only last for 5 of thoes frames, and resume it's normal speed for the last 20 frames.

I have 9 MovieClips on stage (p1, p2, p3...), different colors and sizes. I have one AS3 class "Snake" that as an instance is supposed to duplicate one of these MC's as a Shape. The reference to the specific MC is supposed to be on the constructor method. These instances are supposed to be triggered from one global Enter.FRAME event. How can I refer a distinct MC from within a class? I ask this because this MC will be dynamic and its properties ever-changing (position and color). I know this can be solved by adding distinct Enter.FRAME listeners per instance, but I'd rather avoid bad practices.
ActionScript Code:
public function Snake(id:MovieClip) {
body = new Array();
head=new Point(id.x, id.y);
size = id.width;
color = getColor(); // need to have a class variable that refers to the index

1) I have a movieclip instance on stage (simple graphical element that represents platforms for a hero to run and jump along). I have placed it on the stage with an external class engine.as and in this class it is called myPlatform and is an object of Platforms.as. The movieClip is called platforms and from a trace(myPlatform.name) the instance name is instance3.
2) I am attempting to access the properties of myPlatform in an Enterframe event loop in my character control and collision class (called hero.as)Basically here is the bit of code I am trying implement within Hero.as :
if (myPlatform.hitTestPoint(x,y,true)) { // if a platform is hit
trace("hitME");
y--;
tGravity = 0; // reset
break;
}
Here's the error that I get:
1120: Access of undefined property myPlatform
This all worked when I was writing actionscipt within the FLA file, on the timeline frame 1.I simply don't know how to access myPlatform from within the external Hero.as class! Do I need to create a variable?

I'm currently working on a AS3.0 project in Flash. I have a main movie clip in flash on the stage. This mc contains 3 frames. They represent the pages in my application. In each of those frames are a lot of nested MCs. Such as menu buttons, display content for the MC buttons, etc. Everything is controlled by a class extending from MovieClip. When I run the application and press the green button on the second frame in a nested MC of the main Movie Clip on the stage. The event must jump to the 3th frame in that main MovieClip.
Here's the problem
If I immediately press the green button, everything works great.
But this does not happen when I press a different menu button first.

I am using the following code to generate a bullet (I have a bullet it the library linked Bullet):
ActionScript Code:
function createBullet (bulletSpeed:Number, startx:Number, starty:Number) {
var bullet:MovieClip = new Bullet();
bullet.x = startx;
[Code].....
upon the bullet.x getting to less that 50 it deletes the movieclip ok (other instances of the bullet are still onstage, which is what I want) but it gives the error:
ActionScript Code:
ArgumentError: Error #2025: The supplied DisplayObject must be a child of the caller.

I have an FLA file with a movieclip on the stage which is labelled "blok", and a button on the stage labelled "button1". This FLA is attached to a file called main.as through the document class.
In the same folder where I am storing main.as I have a second .as file called secondFile.as. I have imported this class into main.as using: import com.tests.secondFile;
and in the constructor of main.as I have put:
loadB=new secondFile(button1);
addChild(loadB);
Within secondFile.as my constructor looks like this:
public function secondFile(button1:SimpleButton){
button1=button1;
button1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, buttonPushed);
}
[Code]....
Basically I'm trying to get the MovieClip labelled "blok" to move by 50 pixels on the stage when button1 is pressed, but when I test my FLA I get the following error:
1119: Access of possibly undefined property blok through a reference with static type flash.displayisplayObjectContainer.
I would have thought that this.parent.blok would control my movieclip labelled blok on the stage of my FLA from within secondFile.as since secondFile.as is a child of main.as which is the document class of my FLA, but obviously this is not right.
how to access labelled items on the stage from within a child object.

I am making a simple xml gallery that loads in images into a movie clip that looks like a Polaroid. So, the idea is that flash will see how many image need to me imported. Then in the for loop it will add child the Polaroid mc (which has been exported for actionscript and the class named "Polaroid"). The inside that Polaroid mc there is an empty mc called "polimageHolder_mc" that I want to load the xml loaded image into. I keep getting this error "TypeError: Error #1010: A term is undefined and has no properties", when I use the code below. It makes sense to me but my syntax is obviously incorrect. [code]...

I have a drag-and-drop event form in a flex project. I need to run a validator right after the item is dragged into the dataGrid. In it, I fire off a function through dragDrop="verifyEventUsers()". In the validator, I compare the contents of the two arrayCollections, but it appears to be running the checks prior to completion of the drop. For instance, if I drag an element into the dataGrid and trace eventUsers.length inside the validator, I get zero. When I drag the second element, it traces as one even though two lines now appear.
How can I set up a validation script that runs after the drag-drop action has finished?

My problem is basically as follows. There is an instance of a class extending EventDispatcher. Everything goes well when I add event listener to the object like this:
[Code]...
Now someFunction is not called even though the line containing dispatchEvent('eventName') is being executed just like before (and there is an external reference to myObject as well). The application I'm developing is quite complex so, unfortunately, I can't post the exact code.

So when you win my game I add a movieclip that will let you enter your name through a text input component. Unfortunately, I'm calling it wrong.
I'm getting an undefined property error because it's out of the youWon function, right? You'd think I'd understand this concept eventually!

public class ItemView extends MovieClip {
private var _title:TextField;
private var _extra:MovieClip;
[Code]....
When I create an instance of ItemView and add it to the stage, "Title" displays but the blue square does not. However, if I make the graphics calls on this instead of _extra, I do see the blue square. This tells me that _extra itself is not displaying properly, but I can't figure out why. Is there some special procedure for adding one MovieClip to another?

I have 4 functions called by their own buttons. Each function calls a movie clip from the library with addChild. When I click on one of these 4 functions I want it to remove the added children if any of the other functions had been clicked prior. Problem is, removeChild at the start of each function results in errors if a child had never been called yet. It's trying to remove something that isn't there. - So I tried making a 'flag:number = 0' for each of the 4 functions. Each function begins with settings its flag to '1' I put a for loop at the beginning of each function saying IF any of the flags are = to 1, then remove the children. I don't see why that should not work, I think the error lies in my array or my for loop if statement as I still don't fully understand them. So I will just post the code relating to the array and loop:
