  It is possible to enumerate all instance names in a flash and you file how it if you could?
  
  Thank you

  Yes. You can use the following to list all. If you want to refine the typeof() check traces to limit the output.

• two nodes ASM has the same instance name

  Hello

  I created a grid of ASM of two nodes, when the grid facility (11.2.0.1) finish he created the + ASM1 as instance name for my two knots.

  I have install the ORACLE_SID in + ASM1 and + ASM2 node1 and node2, respectively prior to installation.

  What is wrong, I do it for the installation of the grid? Please suggest.

  Thank you

  To create a virtual environment of RAC in VirtualBox or to share devices in an environment of ASM, you should turn off the virtual machine and change devices in VirtualBox using the following command:

  $ VBoxManage modifyhd asmdisk1.vdi - shareable type

  Then you can add the same features and use the disgroups on different nodes of the DSO. BTW, this is rather a question of the use of VirtualBox for which there is a special forum.

• Need to know the instance name of window for Acrobat Reader XI

  I try to use a custom web program that launches Adobe Acrobat Reader XI and want to know the instance name for this version of Acrobat Reader window. I updated my version of Acrobat Reader 10.0 and the instance name of window seems to have changed, once again!

  This is the story of the instance name of the window for Acrobat Reader in case you don't know what I am referring. I tried all the supposed possible variation of what I expected it to be and all seem to fail. Adobe seems to have changed the name of the instance of the window.
  Also another note is that the new name of the server is "ACROVIEWR11" and it is the XI (11) version installed on a 64-bit computer to Windows 7, so who can make a difference.
  Any help would be greatly appreciated

  Acrobat Reader 10 - the window instance name = Acrobat
  Acrobat Reader 6 & 7 - the window instance name = Adobe Reader
  Acrobat Reader 5 - window instance name = Acrobat Reader

  Why not just use a reporting tool to find out?

• Canvas HTML instance names - good tips to get them?

  First, is there a better forum for questions specific CC Flash? I know CreateJS has their own forum, but from what I can tell, they start with the construction of a stadium with code, etc etc.

  Secondly, I'm drubbing by the weed for the first time, trying to figure out the correct infrastructure called CreateJS and I failed pretty hard on the fact that CC Flash does not seem to apply the instance to the name fields names. Is there an easy way to do this?

  What I mean is, for a HTML5 Canvas document

  console.log( this.myItemInstanceName.name )

  Returns null, then that same code in a document in AS3

  trace( this.myItemInstanceName.name );

  Returns the string "myItemInstanceName".

  For example, I do a lot of panels of aircraft, which are usually made up of a panel with a bunch of controls of switch, dial or btn type. I have a function library that allows me to do the behavior of each control, and then it calls a function of panelUpdates with a switch statement based on the name of the control. This allows me to do things like light a lamp on Panel wihen that a switch is turned on.

  I can easily implement the controls, but I don't see a way to connect to the panelUpdates function the way I want because of this stupidity with names. Anyone got a good method to populate the instance names appropriate in or know when Adobe will add to an update of Flash CC?

  Thanks in advance,

  Eric.

  EXAMPLE CODE:

  var myPanel = this;

myPanel.mcLightSwitch.btnUp.addEventListener( "click", switchUp.bind( this ) ); // as per code snippets
myPanel.mcLightSwitch.btnDn.addEventListener( "click", switchDn.bind( this ) ); // as per code snippets

function switchUp( e ) {
     thisControl = e.target.parent;
     thisControl.gotoAndStop("btnUp");
     panelUpdates( e );
}

function switchDn( e ) {
     thisControl = e.target.parent;
     thisControl.gotoAndStop("btnDn");
     panelUpdates( e );
}

function panelUpdates( e ) {
     switch( e.target.parent.name ) {
          /* NOT WORKING BECAUSE ALL NAMES ARE NULL BY DEFAULT APPARENTLY */
          case "mcLightSwitch":
               if( e.target.name == "btnUp" ) {
                   myPanel.mcFuelLamp.gotoAndStop( "lit" );
               } else {
                   myPanel.mcFuelLamp.gotoAndStop( "unlit" );
               }
          break;
          default:
          break;
     }
}

  Currently it is not a forum specific CC Flash or Adobe animate to CreateJS issues. We talk. Meanwhile, ask here is fine, as long as specific your question that you ask no questions of ActionScript. You're right that a lot of the community of CreateJS go right for Javascript code in text editors and do not use the power you get from using the library or scene to organize assets. My theory is that they are masochists.

  The name property does not really seem to work. But the object is known, you can get over that. Here is a simple case where there is a movieclip named aaa or ttt on the stage, the switch allows you to distinguish between them:

  var n = this.aaa;

  var n = this.ttt;

  switch (n) {}

  case this.ttt:

  Alert ("Yes")

  break;

  case this.aaa:

  Alert ("no")

  break;

  }

• How can I make the &lt; Instance name &gt; the same as the name of the clip in an animation.

  Hi, I'm a moderator for a small game project and I have a very big problem. Even if I used flash for animation for a long time, I am a newbie when it comes to something technical. I just got a request to make of each video clip I use to have a uniform < Instance name > in each frame of the animation. Only if they have told me that earlier... Y at - it an easier way to do the < Instance name > the same as the name of the clip another that you enter manually. I have 16 characters with 12 parts of the body with 20 animations each with approximately 6-7 frames for each part of the body, it will take me months and nightmares evey night enter everything by hand. Please help me keep my sanity!

  I don't know if I explain properly, so here's a picture:

  

  Thank you!

  I don't know a easy way to do it.

  you could do a file jsfl to do, but it is not for beginners.

• Buttons null; losing stage instance names

  Hello, I apologize if this question has already been asked, but as the title suggests, I have problems with my buttons instance names. I use Actionscript 3 with Flash CS5. I apologize in advance to be clear, but it would be better that I explained my problem in detail.

  I have my project put in place so that everything happens in a MovieClip and buttons in the MovieClip are switched to navigate through the MovieClip. The MovieClip contains several images which are all unique and contain a variety of text boxes, MovieClips, buttons, classes and other custom classes. All these components are created directly in Flash Professional by dragging the MovieClip from the library onto the stage inside.

  I then name these components using Flash Professional and use these names of the instance to work with components. Usually, it works without problem. However, now that I'm using a MovieClip nested for my project of many problems are happening. I have it so that when you click on buttons, the MovieClip moves to a certain slice through the gotoAndStop (x); command. It works fine but I have problems to access the buttons that I mentioned earlier. It gives a null object reference error, when I trace the button he designed as "null".

  Initially, I thought this problem was because the MovieClip had not yet initialized but I had used the ADDED and RETURN timeline script, event listeners and other methods but the button was always the null value, leading me to believe that the problem was more than that.

  So I used an event listener to click which told the instance names of the elements I was clicking (trace (e.target.name)). I have a total of 8 buttons on the specific framework of my MovieClip so I clicked on them all. 6/8 buttons mapped out the correct name of the instance that I gave them while the other two buttons traced 'instance 169' and 'instance 177' instead of the name of the instance.

  With all this strangeness, I have commented the code for these 2 specific buttons to see if it would work without them. Of course he did.

  I think my buttons have lost their Stadium, instance names, and I don't know how to solve this problem. I tried to remove the buttons and create them again, but nothing helped. However, it works if I use the Button component that has Flash, but I don't want to do this because I would like to use my own custom buttons (I know the Button component is customizable, but I would use my own anyway).

  If someone could help it, please how can I fix this? If my .fla or specific code must be provided, I can do.

  Do not use "e.target.name" because who can finish by pointing to an object that was clicked that lives inside the button instead of the button itself.  Instead, you should use "e.currentTarget.name".  That will always point to the object that has the event listener are entrusted to him.

  If you get the error 1009, here are some things to consider to help solve...

  1009 error indicates that one of the objects targeted by your code are out of reach.  This may mean that the object...

  -is declared but not instantiated

  n ' is not have an instance name (or the name of the instance is misspelled)

  n ' is not in the frame where this code tries to talk to her

  -is animated in place, but is not assigned the name of the instances of each keyframe for her

  -is one of the two or more consecutive keyframes of the same objects without a name assigned in the image previous (s).

  If you go to your section to publish the Flash settings and select permit debugging option, your error message should have a suite of line number the number of the frame that will help you to isolate the object that is involved.

• change the default MovieClip instance name

  Hello

  My problem is the result of this code:

  for (var j = 0; j < numChildren; j ++)

  {

  If (getChildAt (j) block)

  {

  blocks.push (MovieClip (getChildAt (j)));

  var tempBlock = MovieClip (getChildAt (j));

  If (tempBlock.hitTestObject (mc))

  {

  test = true;

  }

  on the other

  {

  test = false;

  }

  }

  }

  now the thing is that will have more than one block, so if one of these blocks is not the "mc" then test will be False, even if the mc is in contact with another block, and I think that this can be resolved if I can get their name (I can do than tempBlock.name) and then change my else statement (is not the problem)

  what I need is to know how to change tempBlock names using the 'j' counter what I need exactly what

  tempBlock.name = "block" + j;

  but when I did it I get this error:

  Error #2078: Cannot modify the name property of a Timeline-place object.

  Thank you

  You cannot change the name of the instance of an object placed on the stage in the authoring environment (and all set on the stage in the authoring environment has an instance name if you assign one or not).  everything that has a name property can be assigned or changed by using the name property:

  var mc:MovieClip = new MovieClip();

  MC. Name = "OriginalName";

  //

  MC. Name = "newname";

• create the object without the instance name

  Hello

  This is the problem, I have hero shoot bullets and because of that I can't give the objects an instance names and I want to check if the object on the stage or not and it's easy when

  I do var ball: BALL = new BULLET

  If {(bullet.stage)

  addChild (bullet)

  ...

  }

  but the problem only when I love it

  addChild (new BULLET())

  I know that flash to give a name, but how do I check their names?

  if(???. stade)

  Thank you

  Using a table simply to instantiate, then you can add to what you need.

  var balls: Array = new Array();

  Then, when you add a new bullet you can push in the table.

  Bullets.push (new BULLET());

  and if you need to go through them to test if they hit their target or if they should be deleted or whatever, you can loop through them, testing each during his turn in the loop.  If you would like to be removed it is usually better to go back across the table so that you do not skip any.  When you go forward through a table and remove items, the rest all shift down an index to fill the empty space, which means that it is possible to pass on a right after the one you deleted.

• How to get the instance name of the Clip?

  Hello!

  Is there a way to get the name of the instance of an element of travel when he's on the stage?  In my dress up game, I need to know which elements are on the doll to keep them visible.  My drag and drop feature uses a table and currentTarget:

  var dragArray:Array = [Doll.Drawers.Dress1, Doll.Drawers.Dress2, Doll.Drawers.Dress3, Doll.Drawers.Dress4];
            
            for(var i:int = 0; i < dragArray.length; i++) 
              {
                      dragArray[i].buttonMode = true;
                      dragArray[i].addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, item_onMouseDown);
                      dragArray[i].addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, item_onMouseUp);
              }
  
  
  function item_onMouseDown(event:MouseEvent):void 
            {
                 var clip:MovieClip = MovieClip(event.currentTarget);
                 clip.startDrag();
            }
    
  function item_onMouseUp(event:MouseEvent):void 
            {
                 var clip:MovieClip = MovieClip(event.currentTarget);
                 clip.stopDrag();
                 if(clip.hitTestObject(Doll.Skins))
                      {
                               //Here's where the problem starts!   ----------------------------------------------  //
                                trace("It's on the doll!");
                      }
            }
  
  

  It can run this code.  However, instead of plotting "It's on the doll!", I would like to transform the currentTarget in its instance name, which should be "Doll.Drawers.Dress1" etc. and to register this name in a table.

  How can I do this?

  I looked into e.target.name, but I keep getting errors...

  Use the name property of the item (if it is the movieclip that you want the name):

  var dragArray:Array = [Doll.Drawers.Dress1, Doll.Drawers.Dress2, Doll.Drawers.Dress3, Doll.Drawers.Dress4];
  
            for(var i:int = 0; i < dragArray.length; i++)
              {
                      dragArray[i].buttonMode = true;
                      dragArray[i].addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, item_onMouseDown);
                      dragArray[i].addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, item_onMouseUp);
              }
  
  function item_onMouseDown(event:MouseEvent):void
            {
                 var clip:MovieClip = MovieClip(event.currentTarget);
                 clip.startDrag();
            }
  
  function item_onMouseUp(event:MouseEvent):void
            {
                 var clip:MovieClip = MovieClip(event.currentTarget);
                 clip.stopDrag();
                 if(clip.hitTestObject(Doll.Skins))
                      {
                               //Here's where the problem starts!   ----------------------------------------------  //
                                trace(clip.name);  // but that won't be Doll.Drawers.Dress1.  it might be Dress1.
                      }
            }
  
  
  

• I can do this (use a counter 'i' the instance name)

  Hello

  I have 5 dynamic text object in my scene and I need to make a treatment for them (compare each one to the other)

  my text instance names are:

  0, to1, 2, to3, to4

  and their names of variables are:

  T0, t1, t2, t3, t4

  what I have to do is:

  If (t0>t1) then 0 moves to the place of to1 and to1 will move instead of 0

  up to now, I have no problem to compare 2 elements and change their place, but what happens if I have a large number or an unknown number of items, I know that I can (must) a loop but the problem is that I can't do this

  For examle, let's say I have 10 items:

  for (i = 0; i < 10; i ++) {}

  {If (t [i] > {t [i + 1])}

  Exchange (to [i], to [i + 1]);

  }

  }

  This code perfectly work when I work with a table

  I hope that you understand my problem, I don't need someone to tell me how to apply sorting in a table all the I want, it's the ability to use a counter on a MovieClip instance variable name, DynamicText, etc...

  Thank you

  If you follow what I offered in your other post, it would be something like...

  for (i = 0; i<>

  {if(t[i]>t[i+1])}

  Exchange (this ["on" + i], this ["to" +(i+1));

  }

  }

• How to declare instance names in the class file.

  I have created a dynamic TextField on stage as instance name is "tf". I converted this TextField as a class, the name is "MyText" in their binding options panel. And I also create New as file in the same folder name is "MyText".  How to report the TextField instance as a file name.

  Either you do not declare it (because it is already there), or automatically turn off "declare instances of the scene" and declare it as:

  public var tf:MyText;
  

  (assuming it is public and the class is "MyText" that extends TextField)

  How can I create an instance name for a Child MovieClip?

  But what I do not understand how said the c.x Fokker-built = Math.random () * stage.stageWidth; code worked?

  Please answer I have ive been stuck on this the day of hole

  Hello

  #1

  your variable named 'c' is local - so if you try to access outside the method "createCopy" you will get the error.

  #2

  There is a "name" property on MovieClip (from strict DisplayObject):
  http://help.Adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/ActionScript/3/Flash/display/DisplayOb ject.html #name

  that you can use to give the unique name of the instance, and then retrieve it under this name using the getChildByName (...) method:

  http://help.Adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/ActionScript/3/Flash/display/DisplayOb jectContainer.html #getChildByName ()
