Flex - Accessing Child MovieClips FlashDevelop?
Feb 17, 2010
I have a movieClip within another MovieClip. I gave the child movieClip the instance name "hSprite" and I added it to the parent movieClip stage. Now I get an error like the following.
[Fault] exception, information=ReferenceError: Error #1056: Cannot create property hSprite on com.objects.Hero. If I remove the instance name from the child movieclip, then the error goes away. but when I add the instance name back, the error reappears again.
Keep in mind that both classes are set for export. The parent class is embeded by a custom class which work perfectly fine. But the minute I give the child movieClip a instance name, the error starts up again.

I have an Accordian in my application. Each child of the accordian has a label firstNameLabel) and a button (addPolicyButton). The label's value is being set via Repeater and an array. How can I access the firstNameLabel's value of 'selected child of the accordian' when the addPolicyButton is clicked?In following code testTextArea.appendText prints 'fname: undefined' in the testTextArea.Where as I can see in the accordian that the set label's text is set to 'Michael' which is what repMonitor.currentItem.firstName returned.
Code:
private function addPolicy():void{
testTextArea.appendText("fname:"+firstNameLabel.text);

I have a generic function to build rows of controls (each row comprising of sliders, radio buttons, reset buttons, text display) etc, and some functionality to change underlying data based on these
As I didn't want to write specific code for each row, I had code written by which I can detect the row on which there has been a mouseevent, and though the row access each individual control

I am doing this:
[Embed(source = "../lib/hfront.swf")]
private var charfront1Class : Class;
private var charfront1:MovieClip = new charfront1Class;
in order to create a movieclip object in FlashDevelop. Because there is no option (like in CS5) to give a library object a class inherently.What I need to do is be able to switch which movie clip is being displayed as my character walks about. Do I have to create a separate class for each movieclip and call them in and out of visibility?? Or is there a better way, a way to "switch" which movie clip my current class is pointing to?

I m trying to make sense of how to load a swf into a parent MovieClip and allow them to communicate.I ve attached two zip files � one which works fine and the other doesn�t. Unfortunately (for me), the one which doesn�t work is closer to my current project.I need to load movieclips into the parent movieclip. The parent movieclip has controls which rely on values parsed from the child movieclip.In the parent movieclips I wait until the loading is complete and so the values should be passed. However, the values aren�t passed unless I use a button (or timer), to pass the values (see the working exampes).The code which doesn�t work is:
Parent movieclip:
ActionScript Code:
stop();
var myLoader:Loader = new Loader();[code].............

I am starting with AS3 programming icm with Flash Builder 4.I have created a "Main" class which is the initial stage.On this stage there is a movieclip called mcMain.In this mcMain is 4 other movieclips: mcStats1 mcStats2 mcStats3 mcStats4 .How can I access these mcStats1-4 from the code to make them go to another frame?I tried:
var t:MovieClip = MovieClip(getChildByName("mcMain"));
t.getChildByName("mcStats1").gotoAndPlay(3);
But that just keeps giving me null reference errors:TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.

I have been programming with as3 for the past 4 months and Ive been getting rather good at it. I just recently decided to work with flashdevelop. I notice that there is alot of code that is availible in the flex sdk that isn't available in as3 with flash cs4. Like embedding of assets and such. I've been trying to find some up to date tutorials on how to embed things like xml and so far the tutorials are inaccurate or unclear about how to go about doing so. Ive been trying to find some good books that cover that and havnt been able to.
The books either cover as3 with flash or as and flex builder. Which is more towards working with the mxml. I havnt been able to find any books on how to work with as3 and flex sdk. Which show examples like embedding of xml and so on. I was just curious does anyone know of any good books that cover EVERYTHING there is to know about as3 and the flex sdk. Not so much on flex builder and mxml.
In a sense, I just want to get better with working with as3 projects with flashdevelop. And it would be great if there was books that covered that. Cause lets just face it, We developers sometimes just get sick of searching the web for bits of pieces of things. and its just great to have that one good book that references everything.

I'm using FlashDevelop (cos it's free!) with Flash CS4. Is FlashDevelop basically the opensource version of Flex or is it something completely different again? Or is that what AIR is?

The issue I am having is that I have no idea how to access the Children of another MovieClip. I have 2 MovieClip's, storeFront, at frame 25, and reviewPage, at frame 60. storeFront contains a vector, cart, and I need to access it from reviewPage.
I have tried...
var appRoot:MovieClip = parent as MovieClip;
buff = appRoot.getChildAt(30);
review = buff.cart;

I try to use the example from Adobe help reference as following address:
[URL]
I open FlashDevelop IDE, creat a new Flex 3 project, then copy the code of example to the main.mxml, save it, then run builder.
It failed with "...TreeExampleTreeExamplesrcMain.mxml(5): Error: Could not resolve <s:Application> to a component implementation." error message.
There is a "How to use this example" link beside this example, but I didn't find any useful information I want.
How can I run this example in FlashDevelop IDE?

I have a video gallery that generates a menu from xml.I first create a container then add textfields as menu items to the container I have listeners for mouse OVER on OFF for each menu item as welll as a function to change the text color ON CLICK.What I need to do is figure out how to switch a previously clicked menu item's text color back to "OFF" color when a new menu item is clicked But I Can not figure out how to traverse the display heiracrhy to get to the textField's color in all the other menu items.
heres the function:
ActionScript Code:
//create Moviclip to hold menu
function createMenuContainer():void
{
[code]....
so the video menu item's heirachy is some thing like
getChildByName("menu_container").getChildByName("v ideo_"+ c).getChildByName("title_text").textColor
but of course this does not work. I think my logic is reasonably sound I just not sure of the correct syntax to get at the textField.textColor of all the other menu items that ARE NOT clicked on the Mouse Click Event of a menu item that is clicked.

I want to add a child to a movieclip on the stage and then modify its opacity, but I got a problem, when I try this:
ActionScript Code:
var a = new LibraryItem();
mconstage.addChild(a);
mconstage.a.alpha = 0.5;
I get an error saying that mconstage.a is undefined... and in fact if I trace it I get "undefined".

i have to make a drag and drop thingy in actionscript 3.0. Now we had another actionscript project before and then i had some extra classes but most things i put in the main class and it was all working fine. Someone told me that i put too much in my main class and that i should make more classes like a class for every object you interact with. Dont know if hes right but he acted like he was.
Now back to the problem. I made a main class connected directly to my fla in its properties. Then i made another class for the game itself, cause maybe it needs an intro and other things so i want to separate them in their own classes and start them with the main class. now in the class for the game itself i want to be able to click an object with the mouse. I was just testing with a trace. When i click the object it only traces like 1/20 clicks i make, tryed alot of things, when i put the same code in the main class with stage.addEvent blabla it will respond every time but as soon as i try to put in the class for my game it only responds like 1/20 times i click. Wth?
Now i can put all my code in the main class again and make another 1000 line code with a couple of other small classes but this time i want to do it right so what am i doing wrong? Heres some code too
This is the main class dressUp is the game class, it doesnt do much just define the game class and change the mouse pointer.
EDIT: We work in a project group so another reason i want to make alot classes is so we can work on different classes separately. But i promised to have this done this weekend and there not so good in actionscript either.
ActionScript Code:
package
{
import flash.display.*;

I have my stage and on it is one MovieClip that contains another MovieClip... Now I have a document class calledMain. Here it is
Code:
package{
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.display.MovieClip;
[Code]....
Personally, I prefer just having separate classes fo each object then bring them all together at compile-time, but someone I know had a problem with his game which had a lot of embeded movieclips already on the stage.
how I could go about accessing the Sprite "lmao" which is on Frame 2 of the "omg" MovieClip?

Currently, i have been compiling my applications with FD/CS3 and want to make the switch to the flex compiler. One of the main things i want to experiment with the flex compiler is using Macros in AS3. For instance, say i have some extremely expensive operation that i wish to carry out:
private function Main():void
{
extremelyExpensiveOperation(params);
}
but i want to avoid the cost of a function lookup. So instead of using a function lookup I do something like
private function Main():void
{
<macro expandExtremelyExpensiveOperationHere(params)/>
}
obviously the syntax doesn't have to look exactly like that, but the macro gets expanded before compilation thus avoiding function lookup.

I am completely new to the whole FlashDevelop/Flash/etc toolchain, but wanted to do some experimenting. I installed FlashDevelop and Flex SDK on my laptop, and thinks worked out just fine, except for one thing: the compiler messages are localized! Messages like "gebruik van een niet-gedefinieerde eigenschap" (Dutch.. sort of) are limiting my productivity. I don't recognize them because they look nothing like what I'm used to in any other programming environment, as a proper sentence they make even less sense than English error messages, and I certainly can't google them properly. Now I've already seen there are a couple of xml files and java/mxmlc/fcsh/etc configs I can tweak, but nothing so far helped.
