Actionscript 3 :: Extend A Textfield That Is Allready On The Stage In Flash?
Oct 24, 2009
I'm looking for a way to extend a TextField that's allready on the stage in Flash (AS3) something like this:
public class ChildTextField extends TextField
{
//code for childTextField comes here
}
I've placed a TextField with instance name 'thetextfield' on the stage. Now I would like to tell flash this textfield is of type ChildTextField. So in my Document Class I declare that textfield as a ChildTextField:
public class DocumentClass extends Sprite()

I have a dynamic textfield which updates from a textfile. The textfile grows constantly so I want the textfield to grow accordingly without having to update the .swf. I have added a component scrollbar to it, but since I don't have any text in the box before I load it, the scrollbar is disabled. What can I do?

I was hoping to extend the simple button class in order to have it contain a text field that I can set with code but still have the benefits of the up/over/ states etc... (To set a textfield within a SimpleButton doesn't seem possible with SimpleButton out of the box, you cant reference anything in it).

I have a problem animating the preloader of the site I've been working on. I want a movie clip (a dark grey rectangle) to start at width = 0 and then extend to the width of the stage. But it just doesn't move, it preloads perfectly but doesn't really extend with the progress event.
Here's the code:
loadBar_mc.width = 0
var l:Loader = new Loader();
l.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, loop);
l.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, done);
l.load(new URLRequest("Bnaider.swf"));
function loop(e:ProgressEvent):void {

throught code i am trying to read GUI display objects. (don't ask why) My problem is that i can read individual properties of TextField object and TextFormat object, but not traverse those objects to gather all its contents at once.
See my code, individual traces are hapening ok, but those in for cicles are not, i don't get it.
Code:
if (_target.getChildAt(i) is TextField)
{
var currentTextField:TextField = _target.getChildAt(i) as TextField;
trace(currentTextField.embedFonts); //true

I have code for the user to enter their name in a text box. Once the submit button is clicked I want the name entered to be dispatched with an event as well as displayed on the stage. The reason I want the text field input name to be dispatched is because the text box to enter your name is on the main menu which is loaded and unloaded in order to play through various games.Below is the code to enter your name into the text box.
Code:
var NameTextField:TextField = new TextField();var MyFormat:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
MyFormat.size = 20;
NameTextField.defaultTextFormat = MyFormat;[code].....

I'm been working on a large-scale Flash game for the past 13 months, and a few months ago I was encountering an error message when trying to export saying, "Error creating Flash movie. There was not enough memory available." Here is a screenshot <url...> This isn't due to large videos or photos in the file, it's because theres a huge amount of frame by frame animation, so I can't just reduce quality.
I was off of a crappy laptop so at first I just bought a new computer with tons of ram because I didn't realize the software was an issue. This did not change anything (though I can run flash with less lag).
Then, I decided to do as much optimizing as I could. After a few months, all opimization possible as been done, and I have reached the point where I get the error again.
Then, I decided to cut the main file up into smaller pieces and link them together. This worked, but now some individual pieces require too much memory and get the error.

I've a strange issue. In Flash CS3 IDE, I linked a MovieClip to a SubSimba class. This class doesn't extend MovieClip (it has MovieClip package as its base) but, instead, it extends SuperSimba (that extends MovieClip). What happens? I instantiate SubSimba in my Flash project and it behaves as I if I called super() inside the SubSimba constructor: is there anyone here who understands why?

I would like to extend the WebService class in order to add a couple of functions to it. The problem is, when I use the subclass, I get the following message:
'Error opening URL "file:///<PATH WHERE FLA IS SAVED>/undefined"'
The subclass looks like this:
Code:
import mx.services.*;
class com.testing.TestWebService extends WebService{
var foo:String;
//constructor
function TestWebService(){
[Code] .....
The strange thing is, if I extend the MovieClip class instead of the WebService class, everything is peachy. This makes me think there is something that I am missing, or do not know about the WebService class. The code above is the "I want to get it to load without errors" example. My reasons for extending the class go beyond adding a "foo" property. The WSDL path is to my local machine and therefore not accessible to the masses. Any WSDL should recreate the same results.

We are developing our app in flash/flex builder for the front end hitting .NET backend webservices. There is one section of the old app that will not be initially converted, so we need have it appear in an iFrame.
So far all that works fine.We shrink the size of the SWF in the host page to just be the menu/nav area. And underneat that I have an iframe control that loads in this page from the old site.Now the problem. in the SWF is a drop down list to enable picking a client. Since the SWF has been shrunk to about 100px high, the drop-down will only occupy within that 100px area which it's opened. This is NOT good as you can imagine. How can I make the drop-down list descend over-top of the IFRAME control and thus extend outside the SWF dimensions? Is this possible?
I tried to make the internal stage transparent and leave the SWF a little larger, about 400 px high, but the IFRAME still appears behind the SWF.

I have this class named MovingObject which extends the MovieClip class. This class will be instantianted for several times. Inside this class is a Timer that handles the speed of the objects moving. There is another class called TheStage and this is where I will instantiate MovingObject (s).
public class MovingObject extends MovieClip{
public var tmr:Timer = new Timer(1);
public function MovingObject(){
tmr.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, Move);
} public function StartMove():void{
this.tmr.start();
[Code] .....
Assuming that the code is working fine (I haven't debugged it), this makes the particles to move all at once. However after several seconds of running it, the particles seem not to be moving in synchronization with each other (because their distances between seem to get nearer). How to make the objects move with their distances each other evened out.

I have been using the default built in flash all over my app, but now I realized that I need to have some more functionality with it:
- I need the messages to auto hide avec a given number of seconds (specifiable for each message would be great)
- I need to have a little closing button, so the customer can get rid of it whenever
- I need to be able to add a simple href link in there that the user can click if he wants.

I'm trying to extend KmlPlacemark in the Google Earth API. Google uses factory methods to create the objects so I can't do something like this:
KmlPlacemark.prototype.foo = fuction(){...}
I tried to simply add methods to each of the objects after they were created
function foo(){...}
placemarkObj.foo = foo;
but it throws
Error: Trying to add unsupported property on NPObject!

I am new to AS3 and trying to figure out how to set a focus to a textfield on the stage. I found out that if I use stage.focus = tf; then the tf get the focus and it does, when I type letters they go directly to this textfield.Problems are, I don't have a blinking cursor in the textfield. I added event listener to catch up when the user press the ENTER key but it catches the ENTER key ONLY after I click the textfield with the mouse and having a blinking cursor in that textfield.

I'm trying to access a text field from what I believe is called a sub-class. The text field is defined in the .fla file and the .fla file is set up to use Main.as as its document class.I got three files; scrollText.fla, Main.as and TextUtils.as.I know most of the code is working as I programmed it all in Main.as first, but when I moved the code to target the text field into its own class file I ran into error "1120: Access of undefined property" although I have declared the variable correctly and early enough to be used at this point in my code.This is the code I got so far:Main.as
Actionscript Code:
package{ import flash.display.Sprite; import TextUtils; public class Main extends Sprite public function Main()

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.

I have this so far.
function authcheck(evt:MouseEvent):void {
if (ID_input=="447839" || Password_input=="33227") {
gotoAndStop("authgood");
} else {
gotoAndStop("authbad");
}}
logbtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK , authcheck);
It's probably not working because AS3 can't identify the "ID_input" input field. I have the two input fields on the stage with the instance names ID_input and Password_input.

I wanted to create an instance of a textField on the stage with simple text. I thought the following piece of code would work:
var textfield1:TextField = new TextField();
textfield1.text = "testing text";
textfield1.x = 300;
textfield1.y = 300;
textfield1.height = 150;
textfield1.width = 150;
textfield1.autoSize = TextFieldAutoSize.LEFT;
As far as I can tell the object is created and IS there but I have to call it somehow I guess.

I have:
- a flash movie with 300x20px dimensions
- a dynamic textfield
- xml data parsed into the textfield
Now I'm trying to scale the height of the movie/stage to the height of the textfield after the xmldata was parsed in. I've tried
stage._height = textField._height.

I have a text caption (two textFields, one acting as a dimmable background and the second including the displayed text) that when added to the stage takes on the default alpha value (1) and is not changed when I address it in mouse_over and mouse_out events.Some background... What I want to accomplish is:
1) a horizontally scrolling image gallery
2) reads image source, caption title, link and page data from an XML file,
3) is re-usable on several web pages (both swf and xml) as it can identify the current page and dynamically display images appropriate to that page from the xml file
4) On image mouse over the image should resize (get bigger) and should pop up the text caption for the image (this is where I am stuck!!!)
5) on image click should take the visitor to a new url
I have cobbled this together from several tutorials and am not a developer.I sense I have gone terribly, terribly wrong with the textField stuff if not with other things too.The caption pops up on the stage at the bottom of the image (where it should be) at run time but at full alpha (1) even though I set it to 0 earlier.I suspect this means I am not loading these objects correctly (but I don't know where I've gone wrong).Then inside the MOUSE_OVER and MOUSE_OUT events I can't change the opacity attribute which makes me suspect I am not addressing these objects correctly (but I don't know where I have gone wrong here either).[code]
