Flash :: FullScreenEvent` Temporarily Add Things To The Display List?
Jan 26, 2011
Short Answer: Yes, FullScreenEvent temporarily adds 1 child to the stage. Long Rant: Well how about that.. I'm not crazy.. I don't know if this is documented but - it's true. That little message that pops up saying 'you can press esc to exit full-screen' adds a single child to the stage temporarily and keeps it on the top level until it fades out. The sudden intrusion of indexes really messed me up.. so there's my answer, I guess. Now i just need to figure out how to get around this slight annoyance.
[Code]...
Now, bear in mind i'm not ruling out that my code is faulty because that's more than likely the case, but after pondering for ages and coming up empty handed, I keep getting a little superstitious that flash is playing tricks on me and that the 'little message' is not independent and is actually added to the display list..
Does anybody know if I'm just imagining things? or is the 'press esc' message a part of my swf on the display list?

In my game, Ive got a HUD, (heads up display, life bar, points scorer etc...) and when an enemy comes onto the stage, the lifebar is appearing behind everything else, and it should really be the thing that's infront of everything else. Is there like a line of code and a function or variable I should declare or import that allows me to create depth and put my lifebar at the front.

Does the impact of event listeners on resources persist after their targets are temporarily removed from the display list? What about when mouseChildren is set to false for their container?

I have a list containing display objects from throughout the application (insertion order). I want to process the list either top-down (parent, child) or bottom up (child, parent). The only requirement is that either a parent is processed before any child or vice versa a child before its parent. What is a good approach? This question is not about sorting a list. It's about retrieving the depth of a particular display object.
Example
Display list:
A (root)
B1
C1
C2
D1
B2
......
My list:
list = [E1, F4, A, B2, B1, C3, ..., N9, N8]
Bottom-up:
N9, N8, F4, E1, C3, B2, B1, A
Top-down:
A, B2, B1, C3, E1, F4, N9, N8
Does not matter if N9 before N8 or N8 before N9. Important is that any N is before M (first run) or any M before its children N* (second run).

I have the following:A document class, extending from a custom class, extending from MovieClip. In my document class, I assign a handler to the FullScreenEvent like so:
Code:
addEventListener(FullScreenEvent.FULL_SCREEN, function(e) { toggle_fullscreen(); });
Also, I've set up a SimpleButton to call that same function, toggle_fullscreen, when clicked.Here's the catch:When I click the button, my app goes fullscreen. When I press Esc, the app goes back to normal but the FullScreenEvent doesn't get fired,so I can't catch it to re-align the elements on my stage.I've also tried to add the event listener to the stage object of my document class, but that doesn't work either.

I'm working on a game that has many elements on stage, so I'm looking to optimize my loops. I know that Vector is faster than looping an array, but I'm also in some cases using:[code]My question is when I use getChildAt, is that accessing an Array or Vector or linked list or other? Should I instead store references to my objects in a Vector and loop through that instead?

Does anyone have suggestions for a good method to manage the display list in an actionscript 3 project? I'm building an application at the moment and keeping track of all the modules which need to be displayed and reordering them has become unwieldy.I have loaded swfs and instantiated classes that also load in swfs, images and video.. Should I just reference everything to the stage? How should I keep track of the display tree? How can I always force one particular module to the top of the tree?

I am using several instances of the same custom component on the same SWF. The component is essentially just a textfield with special sizing requirements. I also have another "wrapper" component that deals with the info from the textfield components. I was initially planning on using the stage index to associate the data with the textfield component it came from. This became more complicated than I anticipated. When I trace from the wrapper i can't get the index of the textfield components. So I got it in the component code and sent it with the info to the wrapper via a custom event. The problem there is that i can't tell which component is which because they are indexed identically. I can also see the component shim as well as the textfield.I'm just really confused about how programmatic components work on the display list.
My main Question. Is there a better way to associate the info with the proper component? I guess that's my only question. Please point me in the right direction.
EDIT2: I created a dummy place-holder component that just draws a rectangle then at runtime replaces it with programmatically generated textfield component.

It's my understanding that a display object cannot be in the display list more that once.So if I add something to the stage shouldn't a second addition of the same object replace the first? for instance:
[code]...
there should now only be one "myDisplayObject" on the stage.

If anyone has a framebuffer implementation, could you please share some performance benchmarks? Or at least tell me how much difference are there in your point of view. I need to make a flash game which has almost 1K 50x50 bitmaps moving on screen(more than 10K display object in display list), and want to know if flash can support it well on a normal PC with at least 30FPS.

I am using Flash and Photoshop CS5 for a college (HND) project (by which I mean, a single document for a Flash portfolio) and, Flash in particular, they keep appearing to freeze (i.e. they temporarily show as "Not Responding") whenever I save and take forever to save. My computer is quite low spec. (I intend to get another high-spec one but until that point) and possibly insufficient for what I am trying to run. However, I have only recently started having this problem and the saving is so slow that it is hampering my development of the project..
Is there at least a short-term solution to this? I really need to get on with the project and I can't when it's running like this. Flash also occasionally crashes so I can't risk not saving it regularly as I could lose work.

I have a list box in my flash file that I would like to display a string from an xml file that has been run though html entities in php. So for instance I need the string.
Code:
Hey "Leonardo£$£$()*%£% '"' [1999]
to display as
Code:
Hey "Leonardo;$;$()*%$% '"' [1999]
I can get this to happen in my dynamic text boxes by using .htmlText to display but I have no idea how I would do this in the list box?

I've got MovieClips on the stage, both manually added, and added with code. I used this code to trace them all:
for(var i:int=0 ; i<stage.numChildren; i++) {
var myObject = stage.getChildAt(i);
trace(i);
trace(myObject);
}
All it returns is 0 and [object MainTimeline]. Is there something wrong with Flash, or did I do my coding wrong? The objects I put on the stage should be on the Display List, right?

How do I removeChild only if it's in the Display List?One button on my stage will addChild(radioButton) and another removes it. If the remove button is clicked first, then it obviously tries to remove something that has not yet been added and an error is returned. I've tried using the DisplayObjectContainer class with the contains() method to no avail.

in my Main.as file, this works as expected:
var t:TextField = new TextField();
t.text = "hello in main";
addChild(t);
However, when I create an instance of a class, and I have that same code in the constructor of that class, the text doesn't show up. I am creating the text field variable at the class level, not the contstructor level, so I think the variable should still hang around.
Do I have to get an instance of the stage, or something?
