Flash :: Access A Movieclip Via "stage" Property?
Nov 21, 2011
There is a movieclip ("abc_Mc") on stage. I know, to access it, i can simply use Document class, and add a variable named abc_Mc and thus can access it.
But i wanna access it via stage property. ( As it must be a child of stage)
I added a movieclip "a_Mc" on authoring time, and used the following code :
import flash.display.MovieClip;
for ( var i = 0 ; i<stage.numChildren ; i++)
{
var a = stage.getChildByName("a_Mc")
[Code]....
I am not getting the value of that movieclip

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'm getting this error: 1120: Access of undefined property stage, in my document class.On the two lines where i commented.
I'm attempting to get an array from the main timeline. Pass it through a function which then adds objects to the stage depending what number is in the array.
my Document class:
package {
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.display.Stage;

I 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.

I have created a game in flash, and due to the nature of the game, I have many movieclips placed on the stage manually in Flash CS4. They are not programmatically added as children to the stage, and so I am having difficulty getting access to them in the document class. So far the only method I have been able to use is to do stage.addChild(active_area); (for example), but there are many movie clips, all very differently named, so this method seems incorrect.I've discovered that my MovieClips are not children of the stage, but in fact MainTimeline, as when I for loop through stage.getChildAt(i);, only one child, root1, is traced out. How can I access movieclips that were placed on the stage in the timeline from the document class, without having to manually add them as children to the stage? So it looks like my problem wasn't that I couldn't access the MovieClips, it was that I wasn't modifying the MovieClips' values, so I wasn't registering any change in them.
Here is the code after I fixed it:
function manage_cursor(e:Event):void {
prevX=currX;

I am confronted with a simply yet annoying problem: I manually created a row of MovieClips inside another movieclip container_mc on the stage in the Flash CS4 Editor. The MovieClips are named in the same convention (eg. target_1_mc, target_2_mc, ...target_200_mc).
When I try to access a property of it via AS3 during runtime of the SWF like this, it works:
container_mc.target_0_mc.alpha = 0; But how do I access the MovieClip dynamically? During runtime, a script will determine of which MovieClip i need to access a property. I will get the ID number of the MovieClip I want to access. So I need to be able to to something like this:
var mc_ID:int = 2; ["container_mc.target_"+mc_ID+_mc""].alpha = 0;
Obviously, that doesn't work. When I would create all the target-MovieClips dynamically at runtime, I would simply put them in an array. But in this case I need to work with the existing MovieClips manually created in the Flash Editor.

In which I am trying to create a variable to reference another class I have already created, but when I try to use the addChild method, i get an error that says it is an undefined property. Looking through other posts, I saw that maybe adding "stage." in front of addChild(blueTarget).

I have a MainClass from where I can call Stage. In the MainClass I call another class named Subclass, and in that one I call my ThirdClass. ThirdClass is initialized fine, but my problem appears when I want to call the Stage within the ThirdClass, to align the Stage. When I compile I receive the message: 1119: Access of possibly undefined property align through a reference with static type Class.

Assume on root i have a movie clip called table then inside table i have a movie clip called foot.
normally if i need to set foot's alpha to zero i can just do
table.root.alpha=0 from the main timeline it should work ok
but this works only as long as i have foot in the first frame of the movie clip table, if i have foot movie clip in lets say frame 100 apearing and not apearing in the first frame of table then i cant access property of foot from the root
unless the movie clip plays and reach the instance where foot is defined.

I was wondering how do you access the stage property from a different class that's not the principal class tied to the fla? Essentially, I have main.as which calls another class menu.as, and I can't seem to be able to use the stage.stageWidth property from menu.as. What's the proper way to be able to use the stage property from any class? Do I have to import it separately each time?

I've created a custom class (not the document class, otherwise there would be no problem) and I want to be able to access a MovieClip that is sitting on the stage.
How? MovieClip(parent), MovieClip(root)... don't work. What's the proper procedure?
Also, can I pass the MovieClip from the Document Class to another custom Class?

I am trying to access a function that is on my document class for my AS3 project, from a nested class. That is, the Document Class calls Class A which then calls Class B. So I am trying to access a function from Class B, I am trying to use MovieClip(parent).function(); but I am getting error 1120. The MovieClip(parent) (fixed to reflect my document class, etc) works when I try it from other classes but not from this nested class.

I have a movieClip named MC, and it's enabled with action script, with the class name MC_Rectangle and a Stage.I override the MC_Rectangle class file in a mc_rectangle.as external file.here is the code:
package{
import flash.display.*;
import flash.events.*;[ code].....
I have new a object in the main stage var
mc_rect:MC_Rectangle = new MC_Rectangle()
in main stage:
1. how can i access the variable "sequence" in "mc_rect"
2. how can i pass parametre from main stage to mc_rect via function setSequence(data:int)?
3. how can i call the function in addSequence() in mc_rect.
in asp.net, i usually use mc_rect.sequenct,mc_rect.setSequence(data), mc_rect.addSequence() to achieve my goals......btw, can function in mc_rect return out result to main stage?

I am using this method to create a slider to control frames in a movie clip.
[Code]...
The slider works well when I'm in the scene that contains the slider. When I go to a scene that does not include the slider, I get the following output error. TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. How can I stop the stage.add.EventListener when I navigate to other scenes that don't include the slider. This is my first as3 project. The project functions as it should but I don't know if the output error will cause problems later.

This is not your typical 1120. I know better than to have buttons/MCs without instance names on the timeline. Nope, this problem resides in a I timer I built from script I found online. The undefined property is related to the timer class delay I want to implement.
What I'm trying to achieve is have the user click the next button, wait 1 sec., then scroll through the next content. I have the code sitting inside a conditional statement to reduce the amount of code.
One thing to note, I am using TweenLite for the transitions, if that makes any difference. Now, the following code will show you the timer only working work one next position. I want to eventually add this to the remaining next position and all the previous positions so that there will be a slight delay when scrolling through the content.

I'm trying to change a static variable in the class's constructor. At the start I have:
public static var mainReference:Main;
public static var timerReference:Timer;
public var timer:Timer = new Timer(1000);
This is so my static functions can access main and timer. At Main's constructor I have:
mainReference = this;
timerReference = timer;
The problem is, the first gives no error when I compile it, but the second tells me Access of undefined property (timerReference).
