Say I've got a utility class in which I would like to access the stage (in order to get the frameRate).
I don't particularly want to force the user to pass in the stage to each method or set a static property on my class before using it.
Is there any way to get ahold of the stage without it being passed in? All I need is the frameRate!
I'm trying to figure out what's wrong with this code:

I have a sample XML file with two images. If I remove either of the items from the XML, it everything displays fine, but with 2 items in the XML, the first item doesn't show an image, but the second does (maybe the first is being attached in a position behind the second?)
Ive tried looking in a whole bunch of threads for a solution to this probably common issue but to no avail.I have a bunch of objects of same type on the stage which are generated through code.Inside these objects which are generally at x=300 on the stage.
Code:
this.x+=2.3;
trace(stage1.localToGlobal(new Point(this.x,this.y)), ", ", this.x , " ", this.y);
stage1 is the stage object I pass into my class.The trace output is as follows
(x=2.3, y=0) , 2.3 0
Now im expecting some values in there somewhere to indicate its actual location on the stage, ie, x=300.This isnt happening.Whats the correct syntax i should be using.
I have an object inside my flash file and i want to lock the object on 0 x-axis 0 y-axis but when i re-size my SWF file my object's location changed to another location how can i fix that?

All I'm trying to do is load an external .swf file into a precise location on the stage of my existing Flash file. I've spent an hour and a half on this site search and found nothing. What do I add to my loadMovie command to place the file at specific x,y coordinates?

I found properties that appear to have x and y location, stageX and stageY as well as localX and localY.

I am trying to attach a movie clip at a specific location on the stage using the following code:attachMovie("plane_mc", "mc", 1, {x:50} );The statement above does attach my MC called plane_mc onto the stage but it won't attach it at the location where I want it to. The x parameter doesn't seem to have any effect whatsovever on the stage location.
View 2 Repliessupposing there is a movieclip in stage.. let's say its a circle with an instance name of "theCircle"..
the circle has to move / go to / animate to a random location on stage every 5 seconds... basically, the circle should move to the random location, stop and wait for 5 seconds, then move again to another random location.. again and again...
the code below is untested and incomplete.. but it is what i am trying to do... how i should go about this...
ActionScript Code:
var randomXPosition:int;
var randomYPosition:int;
var positionTimer:Timer;
[Code]....
on the moveCircle function, i can simply set the X and Y of the circle equal to randomXPosition and randomYPosition... but that would just change the location of the circle, not move it.. i am trying to make the circle animate towards that location at a constant speed..
I have a movie clip within another movie clip and I want one of the objects in the embedded movie clip to end at a particular spot on the main stage.
View 1 RepliesI'm using Flash CS5. I have some instances on my stage declared in the main class and I want to attach some events to them, however at the time of the main class constructor, these are declared as null.
What's the best practice for accessing stage instances? Is there an event listener I could add that will tell me when the stage instance properties have been populated?
Simple example:
public class bleepBloop extends MovieClip {
public var productName:TLFTextField;
public function bleepBloop() {
trace( productName ); // Here it is null
}
}
However, when I access productName later, it's defined.
This may be a stupid questions but I can't find it.I'd like to refer to movieClip onStage by looping though it for example, I have 10 movieclips name slot1 - slot12 then in my code
var hole:MovieClip;
function checkHit():void {
hole = pirate.slot3; // My problem is here how do i change this slot3 to slot 4,5,6 ...

I have encountered a problem when I need to load a third-party flash in to my flash. The flash is written in an erroneous way, it access stage in the main class constructor. I know that a display object can not access to stage property until it is added to stage, and certainly can not access to stage in its main class constructor. I observe 2 cases:
- If the flash run STANDALONE, it run well: I don't know why stage is assign before its constructor
- If the flash is LOADED by my flash, it yield null reference exception as expected
In the second case, if the third-party class remain unchanged, is there a workaround that load flash?
Access stage objects (like Movie Clip or text fields) from sub classes.The problem came when I define a subclass and try to access stage objects. How can I do that?Imagine I have a movie clip named redBox_mc on the stage.I want to change it`s alpha after I get my xml loaded.(or any other action in subclass)
Main class:
package src{
// ..
public class code01 extends MovieClip {
public var rt:xmlReader = new xmlReader("art.xml"); // my subclass

I have an object on my stage, called obj.I also have a class called "Physics" which contains a bunch of methods for physics, such as inertia, gravity, and bouncing off walls. In order to do some of these,I need access to the stage.stageWidth and stageHeight properties.My code is as follows:
public function wallBounce(obj)
{
this.stageRef = stageRef[code]...
This is supposed to check if the object's x value is greater than the stageWidth or less than 0. When I run this code it says:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
I am a semi-newbie programmer who is completely self-taught and have no clue what is causing this. I spent a bit googling it, and I think it has something to do with scopes,.
If I have a swf that's being loaded into other peoples' swfs (which I have no control over) is there any way I can get properties from the stage (such as height, width, fullScreenHeight, etc.) or does this have to be exposed by the loading swf?
View 1 RepliesI 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 RepliesThe 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);
I can access the targetObj instance inside the document class, but when I try to access it in another .as class,get this error:
Access of undefined property targetObj.
I am trying to add a keyboard event listener to the stage, to detect when a user clicks the left or right arrow keys. But this listener is called from inside a class file which is imported into the document class, therefore I think it doesn't know what "stage" refers to. How do I solve this?

So, can I access layers on this MainTimeline to get all Movie Clips on this layer ? So I can do a simple operation "A_1_2.buttonMode = true;" to all my MC's (in an array for example) without writing every line (lot of MC's on layer and lot of lines).
I added a graphic to the stage and I need to access it from actionscript
