I have created a MovieClip with a custom class that has a dynamic text field (called "textArea"), which I want to modify by the Component Inspector, as well as via a custom method using: textArea.text = newText;
It works fine in all cases and there are no problems, but the compiler still wants to give me the error: 1120: Access of undefined property textArea.
The error doesn't appear when I remove the component parameters (so that it's just a normal MovieClip). It still works, even with the error, so I'm not sure why it wants to complain. Am I doing something wrong or is it just being bitchy?

View 11 RepliesI am busy with a big project, for a brief outline, its an induction program kind of like a media rich slideshow done in flash (AS3). It consists of 10 chapters / modules, each module is a SWF with its own class file. Each module loads external and embedded videos and also mp3 sound voice overs at run time.
Each module loads and works fine by itself, but now the problem comes in where I am trying to create a main container swf to load and unload each of the other 10 module swfs, sequentially (ie first load module 1 swf, then when module 1 swf is finished, unload it and load module 2 swf etc)
I have researched for days and realize that when loading external swfs that have their own class files, problems arise because the external swf makes references to stage but it does not have access to the stage yet and I need to use something like this.addEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE, whateverFunction) in the constructor of the external file, and "... the loaded content must be on the Display List BEFORE any code in it referencing 'stage' is executed. " as quoted from Barbara Kaskosz's experiment on flashandmath.com. (I cant post links as I am under the 50 post restriction).
After trying for days with this and other guides I found, I still have not been able to successfully apply it to my projects files. If anyone would be willing to take the time for me to send them some sample files maybe my container FLA and two of the smallest modules and have a look at what I've done
My deadline is approaching fast and failing this deployment phase of combining all the swfs into one executable is like tripping at the finish line.
I am posting a link to my simplified and cut down files (for testing purposes) in hopes that someone may assist me. I also want an event to fire on the last frame of each of the modules, and for the main.swf to listen for it so it can unload the current module and load the next module.
dispatchEvent(new Event("loadNextModule", true));
//I think this should go on the last frame of the last slide of each module,
//then in main.as add a listener
addEventListener("loadNextModule", nextModule);
But would this listen for the event firing in an external swf?
I have deleted a lot of content in the modules to help with testing purposes, and simplified and made them only 3 slides each.
TL;DR : I have a container swf with a single movieclip that will contain external swfs that will load one at a time. Each swf works fine by itself, but I get errors when compiling the container swf because (I assume via research) the container swf AND EACH external swf has its OWN class file. In summary, I need the main swf to start by loading module1.swf, then when the user reaches the last slide of module 1, main.swf needs to unload module1.swf completely and then load module2.swf. You can traverse slides by pressing the 'right' and 'left' keys on the keyboard.
This is the error I am getting when compiling main.fla :
TypeError: Error #2007: Parameter child must be non-null.
at flash.display: DisplayObjectContainer/addChild()
at main/loadFirstModule()
at main()
I am attaching what code files I can given the restrictions, if you still require the two external .fla files

I'm setting up functions in a document class file, then from there I am going to call that function from a movieclip in flash. For some reason, maybe I have things set up wrong, but it is throwing me errors such as below: Line 37 1013: The private attribute may be used only on class property definitions. What am I doing wrong here and is there something I am not understanding? Here is my .as code. modal.as > package

I'm trying to make a flash animation but I'm getting these two errors: 1119: Access of possibly undefined property enabled through a reference with static type Class. (line 4) 1061: Call to a possibly undefined method addEventListener through a reference with static type Class. (line 5) This is the code I'm using:
Code: Select allimport flash.display.*;
import flash.events.*;
stop();
buti.enabled;
buti.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,pla);
function pla(e:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndPlay(2);
}
My animation is a initial photo that turns around and becomes a black backgroud (were I'll add some text), now what I want is that the photo won't animate until I do a click in it. I used a Layer with a transparent image and converted it to a button and the export name is buti. The other to layers were converted to movie clips named preto and foto.
I want to create a movieclip class that subclasses another movieclip class and inherits all its properties (rather than having to rely on the include statement). In my project I'm using:An abstract parent class that extends a movieClip: "infantryDroid".[code]However everytime I try this, flash acts as though nothing was imported from the parent movieclip class.If I was to try the above code I would get the message that _root and speed (which were defined in the parent class) "are undefined".
View 6 RepliesIn Flash AS3 i wanna write the single try catch block in order to catch any errors in whole class. For ex, i have a lot of functions in myClass.as. I don'w wanna write in each function try catch blocks in order to catch errors in this function. Is there any methods to do this?
View 2 RepliesIf I have a Document class that extends MovieClip, and I want to use it as the basis for another Document class, is it possible to create a subclass that extends the main document class and use that for a different FLA?
For example,

public class MyMainClass extends MovieClip
fla2.fla has a document class of MySubClass:
public class MySubClass extends MyMainClass
I've tried, but now I'm getting errors that all of my variables that reference stage instances aren't being found.
Ok, this is one of those walls that I know once I can jump over it, I will be a much happier developer again.
I've done tons of reading, and think I have a firm understanding that the general consensus is that if you want to reference something, it needs to be added to the display list, using addChild().
I hate to be defiant, but what if I don't want to?
Or at the very least, what if I want to add a movieclip class to the stage using addChild, and then reference objects inside it?
It is much easier this way than what most people recommend - adding 15 objects via addChild, then setting the x and y for the, etc.
That said, I'm all about using classes and using as3 the way it was meant to be used. So what this is, is a best practices question I guess.
HERE ARE THE STEPS I'M TRYING:
- Create new flash document
- Draw graphic symbol bg, with text field over it, select them, convert to movieclip symbol, and export class name "box", then delete it from stage
- Add document class .as file, which simply adds that class "box" from the library, to the display list using a simple addChild()
- Set a name for that box using box.name = "test" let's say
- Do a simple trace like the following - "getChildByName('test').textFieldName" - it shows up great
- So then, I'll now try to set the text by doing this - getChildByName('test').textFieldName.text = "yo";
That last line above, is what doesn't work. I know I'm referencing wrong, but how would a pro as3 developer, reference something on the stage within a movieclip class, from the document class?
And i cant figure it out.the "my.fla.class"content looks like this

I am doing a looping background with 2 identical BG movieClip (B1 and B2). Those 2 are "new" by the same class.
var B1:MovieClip = new BG();
var B2:MovieClip = new BG();
But because this BG class picture is loader from the internet and the picture is rather big. When I addressed its loading by using progressEvent. The picture is really loaded 2 times. Is there anyway I create B2 based on B1 without using new BG() again? Since it definitely makes a new BG with Loader code inside.

I was just wondering if there is any easy way to extend the MovieClip class itself, without making a new class? I'd like it to be equivalent to using MovieClip.prototype ... or should I just use prototype?
