AS3 :: Flash - Dynamically Adding Buttons To Stage And Accessing In Different Function?
Jan 11, 2012I am trying to add multiple different versions of the same button to the stage and to be able to access them later on by assigning them an ID. The way I assumed this would be done is to have a class for the button where an internal static variable is defined so that the ID can be found in the next function. This does not seem to be working, as the ID is constantly showing as the last number given, so in this case 6.I assume that I am doing this wrong? Here is my code so you can better understand:
package src {
import flash.display.MovieClip;

View 3 RepliesActionScript 3.0 :: Accessing TextField In Child?
Sep 2, 2009I have a video gallery that generates a menu from xml.I first create a container then add textfields as menu items to the container I have listeners for mouse OVER on OFF for each menu item as welll as a function to change the text color ON CLICK.What I need to do is figure out how to switch a previously clicked menu item's text color back to "OFF" color when a new menu item is clicked But I Can not figure out how to traverse the display heiracrhy to get to the textField's color in all the other menu items.
heres the function:
ActionScript Code:
//create Moviclip to hold menu
function createMenuContainer():void
{
[code]....
so the video menu item's heirachy is some thing like
getChildByName("menu_container").getChildByName("v ideo_"+ c).getChildByName("title_text").textColor
but of course this does not work. I think my logic is reasonably sound I just not sure of the correct syntax to get at the textField.textColor of all the other menu items that ARE NOT clicked on the Mouse Click Event of a menu item that is clicked.

View 1 RepliesActionScript 3.0 :: Accessing AddEventListeners In Child?
Feb 12, 2011i have to make a drag and drop thingy in actionscript 3.0. Now we had another actionscript project before and then i had some extra classes but most things i put in the main class and it was all working fine. Someone told me that i put too much in my main class and that i should make more classes like a class for every object you interact with. Dont know if hes right but he acted like he was.
Now back to the problem. I made a main class connected directly to my fla in its properties. Then i made another class for the game itself, cause maybe it needs an intro and other things so i want to separate them in their own classes and start them with the main class. now in the class for the game itself i want to be able to click an object with the mouse. I was just testing with a trace. When i click the object it only traces like 1/20 clicks i make, tryed alot of things, when i put the same code in the main class with stage.addEvent blabla it will respond every time but as soon as i try to put in the class for my game it only responds like 1/20 times i click. Wth?
Now i can put all my code in the main class again and make another 1000 line code with a couple of other small classes but this time i want to do it right so what am i doing wrong? Heres some code too
This is the main class dressUp is the game class, it doesnt do much just define the game class and change the mouse pointer.
EDIT: We work in a project group so another reason i want to make alot classes is so we can work on different classes separately. But i promised to have this done this weekend and there not so good in actionscript either.
ActionScript Code:
package
{
import flash.display.*;

ActionScript 3.0 :: Accessing Child Of A MovieClip?

Personally, I prefer just having separate classes fo each object then bring them all together at compile-time, but someone I know had a problem with his game which had a lot of embeded movieclips already on the stage.
how I could go about accessing the Sprite "lmao" which is on Frame 2 of the "omg" MovieClip?

View 2 RepliesCS4 :: Accessing Child MovieClip's Current Frame?
Jul 12, 2009I have a character that I want to animate. Now each part of his body is a separate movieclip. What I want is that, for example, if you imagine the shoe MovieClip, I want to give it three frames - from the front, from the side, and bent.
So when I animate the character MovieClip, I would like it if I could keyframe the currentframe of the shoe MoveiClip, if that makes any sense. It's easy enough to do in ActionScript, but the problem with that is the change isn't visible until I test the movie, and when animating it's useful to see exactly what the character looks like at each frame. Is there any way of setting the current frame of child MovieClips when animating?

[Fault] exception, information=ReferenceError: Error #1056: Cannot create property hSprite on com.objects.Hero. If I remove the instance name from the child movieclip, then the error goes away. but when I add the instance name back, the error reappears again.
Keep in mind that both classes are set for export. The parent class is embeded by a custom class which work perfectly fine. But the minute I give the child movieClip a instance name, the error starts up again.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Accessing Variables Between A Parent And Child Swf
Feb 11, 2011Wondering how to do this:
Parent swf has a class loaded, lets call it 'GlobalUtilities'. Parent swf loads in child swf. Child swf wants to use some of the 'GlobalUtilities' class that is in the parent.
How can I accomplish this? The problem I'm having right now is, when I export the child swf, I'll just error out since it can't find the reference (obviously, since it's not loaded into the parent yet).
