I can't able to access the my_mc(placed in FLA) movieclip. How do I access?
I've created a custom class (not the document class, otherwise there would be no problem) and I want to be able to access a MovieClip that is sitting on the stage.
How? MovieClip(parent), MovieClip(root)... don't work. What's the proper procedure?
Also, can I pass the MovieClip from the Document Class to another custom Class?
I have a "box_mc" movieclip on the root of my stage and I need to select it from within my Document Class. I thought Stage.getChildByName("box_mc") would work, but it just returns null.
View 2 RepliesI have created a game in flash, and due to the nature of the game, I have many movieclips placed on the stage manually in Flash CS4. They are not programmatically added as children to the stage, and so I am having difficulty getting access to them in the document class. So far the only method I have been able to use is to do stage.addChild(active_area); (for example), but there are many movie clips, all very differently named, so this method seems incorrect.I've discovered that my MovieClips are not children of the stage, but in fact MainTimeline, as when I for loop through stage.getChildAt(i);, only one child, root1, is traced out. How can I access movieclips that were placed on the stage in the timeline from the document class, without having to manually add them as children to the stage? So it looks like my problem wasn't that I couldn't access the MovieClips, it was that I wasn't modifying the MovieClips' values, so I wasn't registering any change in them.
Here is the code after I fixed it:
function manage_cursor(e:Event):void {
prevX=currX;

I have a movieClip named MC, and it's enabled with action script, with the class name MC_Rectangle and a Stage.I override the MC_Rectangle class file in a mc_rectangle.as external file.here is the code:
package{
import flash.display.*;
import flash.events.*;[ code].....
I have new a object in the main stage var
mc_rect:MC_Rectangle = new MC_Rectangle()
in main stage:
1. how can i access the variable "sequence" in "mc_rect"
2. how can i pass parametre from main stage to mc_rect via function setSequence(data:int)?
3. how can i call the function in addSequence() in mc_rect.
in asp.net, i usually use mc_rect.sequenct,mc_rect.setSequence(data), mc_rect.addSequence() to achieve my goals......btw, can function in mc_rect return out result to main stage?
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.
I was wondering how do you access the stage property from a different class that's not the principal class tied to the fla? Essentially, I have main.as which calls another class menu.as, and I can't seem to be able to use the stage.stageWidth property from menu.as. What's the proper way to be able to use the stage property from any class? Do I have to import it separately each time?

Going further on my app, I felt in another problem. Despite having lots of posts on the web regarding this, none of the solutions worked for me In my document class (Main.as) ve two containers. One empty and another with a star that is being imported from the library. Here´s the main class:
package

import flash.display.*;

I have a MC, instance name "jez_mc" this is inside an MC, instance name "container_mc". container_mc on on the stage.I then have an MC dynamically added to the stage. In this MCs timeline I want to access a variable stored in the class that is linked to jez_mc. This var that I want is named "score"So i figured in my timeline I could use something like:
var _jez_mc:MovieClip;
_jez_mc = MovieClip(root).container_mc.jez_mc;
trace("_jez_mc.score");

I'm trying to access a MovieClip created within the authoring tool from an ActionScript class. Here is my code:
PHP Code:
package {
import flash.display.*;
public class MoreVideos extends Sprite {
[Code].....
I also tried changing that to [stage.moreVideosBox.visible = false;], but I then got "1119: Access of possibly undefined property moreVideosBox through a reference with static type flash.display:Stage."
Is it possible to directly alter items in the authoring tool from a class? If I move 'moreVideosBox.visible = false;' outside of the class, in the main .as file, it works fine.
i have textfield myTxt on stage, and i have Room.as class file.
Actionscript Code:
package { public class Room { public function Room() { // constructor code myTxt.text = "yo!"; }
I need to access objects on stage from within class.
This is for AIR: My document class imports a separate class "ConnMonitor" and uses it to constantly monitor the network connection. It's at the very end of that class where it's supposed to update a textfield on the stage as the connection changes, but the class can't access the textfield.

View 4 RepliesI have a document class called Main, and a class called DispatchEventExample. In DispatchEventExample, I'm trying to add an event listener to the stage but get an 1120 error, access of undefined property stage.
If I understand things correctly, even though I create an instance of DispatchEventExample in Main, it's not added to the display list & therefore cannot access stage.

Is there a way to refer to a Movieclip on the stage from a class file of the document class
Lets say I have 3 MovieClips on the stage(a Circle, a Square and a Triangle)

ActionScript Code:
package {
public class Example extends Sprite {
//Create the instance of the class being called

I have a dynamic text field on my stage, instance name: "lives_txt"

The problem I've encountered is that I am using a keyboardEventListener to make a movieclip run around. As I'm a college student, I'm creating this for an assignment but we are forced to use as3 classes.
When I run the code in the maintimeline, there is no problem. But when I try to access it from another class (with an 'Export for ActionScript' on the movieclip in question) I get an error he can't address the stage.
this.stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, dostuff);
