How can same be false in the following snippet?
var child1:ApplicationDomain = new ApplicationDomain(ApplicationDomain.currentDomain);
var child2:ApplicationDomain = new ApplicationDomain(ApplicationDomain.currentDomain);
var same:Boolean = (child1.parentDomain === child2.parentDomain);
trace(same);
I'm trying to get the sibling of an mxml tag similar to the way siblings are selected in javascript. Is this possible in Actionscript? For example, when I click the TextArea with id textarea1, I need it to tell me that the sibling has an id of rect1 so I can do further processing to it.
<s:Group>
<s:TextArea id="textarea1" click="getSibling(event)" />
<s:Rect id="rect1" />
</s:Group>
Below is the code for a simple Flex actionscript project. A sprite is partially covering a hyperlink. What's happening is that when you hover over the sprite, if you're also hovering over the hyperlink, the hyperlink is activated. I want to prevent that. I want the hyperlink to be activated only when the mouse hovers over it -- but not when the mouse hovers over the sprite which covers it.

If I have two sibling canvases displayed next to each other, can I have a child Label (or any child component for that matter) in the left canvas overflow outside of that canvas and on top of the next?
Something like this:

I have a Flex repeater that has a complex item template. When a checkbox is clicked, I need to toggle the visibility of a sibling button contained in the same repeater template. Since I can't add binding expressions to event handlers, I can't pass in the repeater item's index.
How can I access sibling components inside a repeater item?
I'm working on a project right now in Flash Builder which is strictly AS3. I've written a bunch of code for various graphic assets that are being developed in the Flash IDE and compiled into a library swf. So, for example, I might have a drop down list Sprite which I layout in the flash IDE and then set its class to: [url].....With the library swf loaded into my project, if I need to create a new dropdown list I would say something like:
Code:
load.getDefinition(classes[name]) as Class
and then create a new instance of the class that is returned. I decided to try saying 'new DropDown()' instead of pulling the class definition from the loader, and I got a new DropDown. I figure this is because the DropDown library asset is now in the ApplicationDomain and Flash Builder knows that when I say 'new DropDown()' I'm saying [url]....' and it can find that class file. However if my library asset just had a class of 'Widget' and no path back to an .as file it would throw an error. Am I correct in this statement?
This is a follow-up to another thread that is getting wordy and unfocused:

I am trying to load an external library .swf to use its embedded fonts, much like this method:
[URL]
However, the swf that is loading the font swf is loaded within a wrapper swf, and is defined as a separate ApplicationDomain as the wrapper.
Wrapper swf (app domain 1) <--- Player swf (app domain 2) <--- font library swf
The font is loading fine, and I'm even able to retrieve the font name (so I'm able to reference the object), but it is *not* showing up in the textfield as it should be.
When I remove the ApplicationDomain issue between wrapper and player swf by testing the player swf locally in the IDE (*not* loaded through the wrapper), it works fine. But I'm not sure how or why this is, because like I said, I'm able to get the font name so I'm able to reference it, it seems.
The TextField is being set to embedFonts, the font is loading, everything else seems to be working 100%, but there's some issue between the application domains that I just *can't* figure out.
I am working on a Flex mobile project and am using a TileLayout to layout a bunch of groups. The problem is, if any text in one of the groups spans several lines, ALL tiles get resized to the same height. I need the tile width to be the same for all tiles, but I want the tile height to be the tallest only on each row.

I have a reference to a XML node which is part of a bigger XML tree. Is there a way to get that elements next/previous sibling without accessing the parent and looking for it? Something like DOM's nextSibling would be what I look for. edit: Given that there is no natural way to do this with E4X, I'll just stick to the following (except that in my case, I'll store the actual index somewhere instead):

This is my first time using this forum. What an excellent site. I've learned a lot about using xml with flash through this site. I have expanded upon the example to build an xml menu using flash.The file I have created loads videos dynamically

I had a question on OOP and the best practice for how to communicate between classes. If I have a class (SiblingA) where some one clicks something in it and you need to interact with another Class (SiblingB), what is the best method for doing this?
(option1) Should I have a bunch of event listeners in the Document Class that respond to these events? (I thought you wanted a document class to be as small as possible). (option2) Or should I create a separate 'Utility' class that speaks with both siblings to facilitate communication (event handling) between the two (one class with many public static methods). I have attached a diagram to try and help explain this.
Often times these events are dispatched from children of children in sibling classes (ie childOfSiblingA or even its children) Option1 Scenario: A user does something in SiblingA, that dispatches an event to the doc class which listens for it, fires its listener function which calls a (public) method in SiblingB to handle the interaction.
Option2 Scenario: A user does something in SiblingA which calls a (public static) function in Utility class which calls a (public) function in SiblingB to handle the interaction.
I think I am leaning towards option 1 but that would be a lot of dispatching events (child dispatches to parent, dispatches to its parent, dispatches to doc, doc calls child, which calls its child, which... finally does something)
On my stage is a MovieClip called Box and a MovieClip called InfoBox. InfoBox has a fucntion called setInfo. Box, when clicked (It is a MovieClip, not a button), wants to call the setInfo function of InfoBox.
I tried using the following code in Box:
MovieClip(this.parent).InfoBox.setInfo();
This produced the following error:
TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert flash.display::Stage@34a8ef99 to flash.display.MovieClip.

I am trying to learn xml in flash myself and am findingit v.hard.All i am trying to do is create a little 'story' with 3 pages.I have content loading into flash but I am unable to get the next 'sibling' into an array e.g. the title. I can only get page1's title in the array but I can never get to page 2.Here is my xml:
<maincontent>
<page1>
<title>Who is he</title>[code].....
This only traces the first title, how can i get to the second and the third so i can then display them in my text box?
Essentially, the simplified problem is this: I have a parent sprite "PARENT" with two children: One child sprite "A" that contains a number of children which respond to mouseover/mouseout and rollover/rollout events, and a second child sprite "B" that is shown/hidden based on the events in "A".
The problem is that "B" appears over "A" on the stage and when the mouse enters "B", the children in "A" throw mouseout/rollout events. Ideally, I would be able to make "B" completely mouse transparent so that the hit testing in AS3 will "see through it" to the underlying "A" sprite, but this doesn't seem possible.
Note that "B" has mouseEnabled and mouseChildren set to false... but the problem seems to be that the AS3 hit testing engine won't look at siblings when determining mouse hit testing. (i.e. It sees "B" under the mouse, sees the mouseEnabled=false setting, and then moves on to "B"'s parent ("PARENT"), but never checks to see if "A" is under the mouse (which it is)).
I can't make "B" a child of "A", because "A" is clipped and "B" needs to extend beyond this clipping area.
At this point I'm thinking I'm going to have to do my own hit testing, which is far from ideal given that "A" contains a large number of children.

View 9 RepliesI have a movieclip called background_mc; this movieclip contains 20 different movieclips each loading content. This works so far. When the minus key is pressed the background movieclip scales to 25% [this works] while scaled down the movieClip can be dragged around[this works]. I should note that while the movieClip is at 25% if a nested movieclip is clicked(onRelease) it tweens to 100% at the correct cooridinate. The problem is that after the movieClip is scaled back to 100% it can still be dragged whereas I only want it be dragged when scaled down.
