Flex - Access Children Of Children Recursively?
Mar 10, 2010
I have a Canvas which has many components inside it and those again, have many components inside them.
getChildren() returns only the top level children. What is the best way to retrieve all the children (children of children of children and so on).
Well, I sorta know how to do this by iterating through the children, but the code is really messy. I'd prefer to use a nice recursive function. Has anyone written this before? Or is there a Util class to do this?

What I'm trying to do is just iterate through stage children and trace out what the child is and the index. Here is some code.the problem area seems to be the actual recurseStage() call at the end. As well as the if statement before that. I know not all children will have the property .numChildren but I'm not sure what to use instead. This should be an easy fix but my brain just isn't helping me out right now.

I have a Sprite called pageContent. Inside pageContent are 12 more Sprites with unique names, a couple of Buttons, and some TextFields. Inside each of the 12 Sprites I have either one or two TextFields and one TextInput. My question is, since they are children inside a child of pageContent, how can I access them? Here is how I am trying to do it:
[Code]...
In my mind, this should totally work. But surprise, surprise, it doesn't. I have debugged it and it works fine for the first two lines, but when it tries to get numChildren of a Child of pageContent (line 3), I get this error: PHP Code: 1119: Access of possibly undefined property numChildren through a reference with static type flash.display:DisplayObject.

Does anyone know if its possible to access children elements in a SWC? I have created some MC's and inside of some of these MC's I have some dynamic textFields. I export the content to a SWC and load it into my Flex project. No problem loading it or accessing the parent elements, they display fine. But I want to access the textfields nestes in the MC's and modify the text. When I debug the app, I can see the textfields as child elements. It's typed as a TextField and the Instance Name is the same as input in the Flash IDE but I cannot access it. When Flex compiles it throws an error saying it doesn't recognize the method. I've tried to insert actionscript on the timeline, linked external classes and nothing can be accessed.

I've got a Flex 3 application with an HTTPService returning an Atom feed. I catch the result from it and store it in an arrayCollection which is then the provider of my Datagrid. I have no problem accessing the data from the "first-level" of my Array, but cannot go under it. Not very clear, so here is some code:
My XML [part of it]:
<entry>
<title>Test 2</title>
<id>http://collaboration.*****.com/collaboration/messaging/feeds/****/todo//7D6637D3E86B3ED3C12575B***8479</id>
<link rel="alternate" href="notes:///C12575B4004***8
[Code]....
The "title" column shows the data correctly, but the status column is empty ! When I launch my app in debug mode, I can see that my notesArray has the correct format and I can access todo -> status with the value..

Newbie to XML here and I have what I *hope* is an easy problem, but I just don't know the answer. And as I have to try and show this by Monday, I'm sort of stuck. I am trying to pull in information about houses via an xml file. Each house has 1 address, 1 owner, 1 description, and about 6 photos. I have no problem accessing the address, owner, etc, and I can always access the first photo, but whenever I cycle through the photos, I seem to cycle through the first photo for every house, not every photo for each house.
Basically, I need the children <images> to go up by one, without the the parent going up by 1. I am hoping I am describing this well. My code looks like this:

for some reason STORAGE[0].getChildAt(0) works whereas liner.getChildAt(0).getChildAt(0) does not. STORAGE is a movieclip and a child of liner. the error is something about not being able to use getChildAt on a display object. what's wrong? is there any other approach i could use? PS: liner.getChildAt(0) works and does indeed seem to refer to STORAGE[0]

I'm trying to access the childrens from an external swf previous loaded. This swf is a movieclip exported as swf which has two movieclips inside also.It loads the movieclip, but when I try to access to his childs, there is no one. What I'm doing wrong? I'm missing something when I export or load in AS3? I'm loading the swf as:
itemLoader = new Loader();
itemLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, itemLoaded);
itemLoader.load(new URLRequest("path"));[code].....

How do access all of the children of a DisplayObject using code? (I'm looking for something like movieclip.children)
I'm using this in two cases:
1) To loop through and reposition all of the children of an enclosing MovieClip.
Or
2) To loop through and delete all of the children of a MovieClip

I'm trying to load a SWF I created with Flash CS4 into Flash Builder with the SWFLoader class, but I can't seem to access the loaded SWF's children. Everytime I try to change the property of a child it'll ignore it.
I tried loading the SWF with the Loader class, but it doesn't allow me to add it to the stage. How can I load the SWF and access it's children?My code atm (m is a child of the loaded SWF (SWFToLoad)):
ActionScript Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

I have created a really simple example for what I am trying to achieve, which you can see below.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" horizontalAlign="center" verticalAlign="middle" initialize="init()">
[Code]....
So it is important for me to bind to the children().
Is this possible and if not, does anyone know how I will get round this issue?

I have a custom component extends from skinnableContainer and only has two NumericSteppers.I explicitly set focus to my component like myComponent.setFocus(). It sets focus to first stepper which is correct, but when I press TAB to move focus to next stepper it moves focus to the next Component.
I set tabEnabled = true and tabChildren=true of the component, still no luck. How could I set focus to next stepper on pressing TAB?

I'm resizing a chart and want to take a picture of it when all the children of that chart are done updating.
For example I'm drawing some stuff on the chart after the size changes. I've tried chaining a bunch of callLater() but I'm still running into problems on slow computers.
Raising an event when the last children has executed doesn't seem to work as it might take a while to draw (hence the callLaters).
Is there a best practice to find out when something is done updating?

I'm trying to build a webmap application in flex. For this, I've got a fxg-file which represents the maps. It's in a also there are some elements, like POIs, text etc., in this group. I zoom the with scaleX and scaleY, this works just fine for the map. But the problem is: All children zoom also. I don't want this. They should stay the same place on the map and the same size.
Heres some code the as function
<fx:Script>
<![CDATA[
import mx.skins.Border;

public var hoehe:Number = 1;

I have an ArrayCollection with following structure (when viewed in debug mode):
[0]
- [0]
-- src
- [1]
-- src
src is the path to an image.
I need to get all of the src's out of the arraycollection. However because of the first (unnamed) node I can't take them in. I've tried ArrayCollection[0].children and save the result in another ArrayCollection, however the new ArrayCollection has 2 Objects in it but no 'src'. There are just 2 null objects
firstArrayCollection is filled with the data as described above.
secondArrayCollection.addItem(firstArrayCollection[0].children);
When viewing the content of secondArrayCollection i see following structure (and data):
[0] null
[1] null
