To access the objects already on the stage...

OK, so I'm sorry if it's a very easy thing to do but I have been the subject looking for awhile now and I can't seem to find a way to do this!

I would like to be able to access some objects that are on the stage before the time of the compilation (e.g. in my .fla file). I can do this property of the document class using the names I have given to them, but I have to be able to do this from other classes (instantiated at run time) too.

What is the best way to go about this? Can I use the variable placement (this is not probably from what I've read so far) somehow? Or I have to go in the references to these objects in my document class, when I create the instances of the class that needs to access? If so how much better would go to this topic?

Cheers for any help guys

mainTL is synonymous with main timeline.

and Yes, you can access any display object once you have access to a display object.  you just need to use the correct path/name.

  • Access the stage

    Hello

    I'm trying to access the stage property of an ActionScript file linked to a MovieClip in the library.

    Document class: Boot.as

    package{
         import flash.display.MovieClip
         import flash.display.Stage;
    
         public class Boot extends MovieClip{
              //this code does not work
              //throws 1120:Access of undefined property stage.
              public var stageRef:Stage = stage;
    
              //this code works
              private var mcBall = new Ball;
    
              public function Boot (){
                   //this code works
                   mcBall.x = 10;
                   mcBall.y = 10;
                   addChild(mcBall);
              }
         }
    }
    

    Ball.As (related to the "ball" in the library)

    package{
         import flash.display.MovieClip;
         import flash.events.Event;
         import Boot;
    
         public class Ball extends MovieClip{

              private function moveBall(e:Event){
                   //code to move ball
              }
         }
    }
    

    The problem is that I can't access the stadium of Ball.as.  Thanks in advance for your help.

    You must pass a displaylist reference (everything works) to your class to start if you want as the startup class to reference elements in the displaylist.

  • Cannot access the Stage.stageWidth

    with this:

    trace (stage.stageWidth)

    I get this error:

    1119: access of property may be undefined stageWidth through a reference with static type class.

    the stage class is accessible through any object on the stage.

    whether you have a movieclip on the stage named myMC. Then the width of the stage is accessed like this...

    MovieClip (myMC).stage.stageWidth;

    Flash is no longer in AS3, cares about the depth of the loaded movies. There is that one step in AS3 to get to the scene from a responsible external movie is the same as access a clip that you place on the stage of your library.

    Exasperated after putzing autour with FlashPlayer Trust, cross-domain policy files, changing settings of the wrapper, changing the settings of the compiler and installing the debug version of Flash Player without success, I then installed Flex Builder on my friend and transferred machine source code to see if the problem goes away if I do a clean rebuild and compile it.

    And guess what! I still get the same error!

    Any tips will be appreciated.

    Duh!
    People of my fault.
    Discovered that a program that feeds on my Flex application generated invalid XML.
    The trap of fault Manager I had in my Flex application (which was based on an example of code Flex btw) generated the misleading warning.

    Moral of the story - instead of just showing the event.fault.message in your error handler, remember to precede a specific error message.

    Flex is a wonderful tool! Debugging in an env declarative, asynchronous as Flex requires a new debugging strategies well and unlearn some programming habits, though.

  • Flash CC: access a specific object on the stage

    I'm writing the javaScript code to execute with Flash CC.

    How can I access a specific object on the stage? It has a name (square_sym), but I can not read the code. What should I do?

    TIA

    He needs an instance name.

    If there is not a button or a movieclip, right click on the object > click on convert to symbol > select movieclip > ok > in the properties panel, enter an instance name, for example square_mc.

    then on the timeline that contains the button or movieclip you can use:

    This.square_mc to reference the movieclip.  other chronologies, there are also pointers to reference the movieclip

  • question on the scope of the stage object

    Hello, all.  I am currently working with containers and I have a question about the stage object.

    I have 2 files in my program

    (1) app.as

    (2) stuff.as

    Stuff.As is a library of common user interface that I build.  I'm trying, in this document, follow these steps:

    stuff(){
    
    makeUI();
    
    }
    
    makeUI(){
    
    myContainer.setSize(stage.Stagewidth , stage.Stagehight);
    
    }
    

    Flash crash when running, saying that there is a reference not valid for a null object.

    If main.as is the file of the application, how can I get the stage object to be valid / available inside my stuff.as file?

    -Thanks for your time!

    Hey dtater,

    I met the same problem too in the past. the only way to have access to the stage is to have the class that never work added to the stage by a parent object that is already on scene. If an object has not yet been added to the stage, his stage value will be null.

    the best way to work with this set of return must have an event listener defined in your file stuff.as to listen for Event.ADDED event in your stuff() constructor like this:

    this.addEventListener(Event.ADDED, onAdded);
    

    and then in your event handler function onAdded:

    private function onAdded(e:Event):void{     // this event gets triggered by other objects, so we check to make sure it the right object     if (e.target == e.currentTarget)      {          makeUI();
    
         }
    
    }
    

    in this way the makeUI funciton only will be called when it has access to the scene.

    Here are more details on the event Event.ADDED:

    http://www.Adobe.com/LiveDocs/Flash/9.0/ActionScriptLangRefV3/Flash/events/event.HTML#added

    hope that helps. Good luck!

    Edit: I also forgot to add that the Event.ADDED event will be called when you addChild (stuff); in your main application.

  • Inject the stage object when the controller initialization

    Hello

    I'm trying to inject my scenic object in my controller class. I found this solution on StackOverflow and it works. I also re-taken into account my controller class for does not implement does not obsolete Initializable interface.

    The last lines of my start() method are the following:

            Controller ctrl = fxmlLoader.getController();
            ctrl.injectStage(stage);
    
    
    

    I was wondering if I could put my Stage object directly in the initialize() method, because I can not access my scenic object in this method (it does not exist yet) and I can't do links operations.

    Best regards.

    FXMLLoader loader = new FXMLLoader ("whizzbang, fxml");

    loader.setController (new WhizzBangController (stage));

    = (Side) pane loader.load();

    Above is a guess (I have not tried).

    The stage must be set in the constructor of the controller and available when at initialization time when the fxml loader loads the fxml.

  • After the separate file .fla code do not see my objects on the stage.

    I have the .fla file. There, in the library, I have 3 film clips, cockroach0, cockroach1, cockroach2. I want to show they randomly on the stage on the .swf file.

    Labour Code:

    var classNames:Array = ["cockroach0", "cockroach1", "cockroach3"];
                   var len:int = classNames.length;
                   var cockRoachList:Array = [];
                   var ClassRef:Class;
                    
                   for (var i:int = 0; i < len ; i++) {
                         ClassRef = Class(getDefinitionByName(classNames[i]));
                         cockRoachList[i] = new ClassRef();
                         addChild(cockRoachList[i]);
                   }
                   
                   var currentCockRoach:MovieClip;
                   for (var ii:int = 0; ii < len ; ii++) {
                         currentCockRoach = cockRoachList[ii];
                         currentCockRoach.x = Math.random() * (stage.stageWidth - currentCockRoach.width);
                         currentCockRoach.y = Math.random() * (stage.stageHeight - currentCockRoach.height);
                   }
    

    But when I try to separate the code from the .fla to .as I have problems.

    I see the error:

    TypeError: Error #1009: cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
    code: KillCockRoach()
    at cockroach0()

  • Adding objects to the stage &amp; amp; Properties of the acceessing Stadium - I'm a bit confused...

    Hello

    I'm a bit confused about the programming of the display's two-pronged:

    A. What are the best way to add objects to the stage?
    B. how to access the properties of the step.

    I can make these two when the project is a 'Action Script Project', but I have a problem when it is a "Flex project" (for example a MXML file). See the attached files two questions included in the commentary to see exactly what I mean.


    A. What are the best way to add objects to the stage?
    =====================================

    In a project of action script which extends Sprite I can call him addChild()

    In a project MXML I add objects to the scene first, adding them to a UIComponent, then adding that the step.

    1 - is the best way to do it?

    In this doc: http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/html/help.html?content=05_Display_Programming_02.html he says this quote from
    :
    Each SWF file has an ActionScript class associated with it, called the main class of the SWF file. When Flash Player opens a SWF file in an HTML page, Flash Player calls the constructor function for that class and the instance that is created (which is always a type of display object) is added as a child of the Stage object. The main class of a SWF file always extends the Sprite class
  • How to access the attributes of an object using TestStand. ?

    Hello

    I have a class named status in c# that has 2 data members. There is another class named parameter and it has functions that return objects of type status.

    I did the DLL from the parameter class. Then I added this class to NI TestStand and calls a function and this function returns an object of type status.

    Is there a way by which I can access the data members of the object returned in TestStand?

    Thanks in advance

    Yes, there is another alternative. If you state a value type (i.e. a struct in c#) then you can tell teststand to store it in a corresponding data structure TestStand rather than an object reference variable. It works even for the private fields in your structure. To do this:

    (1) first to report a type value and no matter what other changes are needed in your code to take account of this (value types are copied when it is passed by value to another method, if this isn't what you want you will have to pass by reference - i.e. the c# ref keyword).

    (2) recompile your assembly.

    (3) in the specification of module Panel TestStand .NET, you should now see a new button next to the expression for the return value of type status resembling TestStand data type icon. Press this button and it will prompt you to create a TestStand custom data type that matches the type .NET. Select this option to save the type in the type palette file MyTypes.ini. Just do it once. Once the type is in your palette file type MyTypes.ini it will be available then and you must only update if you change the type .NET.

    (4) create a local variable of the TestStand Custom data type instead of the object reference. Note that you can expand and see the properties under.

    (5) use this new local variable to store the return value of status. TestStand will be copy/update the properties of the variable to match those of the .NET structure that the method returns.

    NOTE: You can also simply store the fields of a struct in separate variables increase the return value of type status once it is a struct and specify a separate variable for each field instead of creating a custom data type TestStand.

    Don't forget that TestStand makes a copy when you store a struct that this way replaces the struct when this will not appear in the copy.

    Hope this helps,

  • Evaluation period for the stage of field custom object compare?

    I've never used an evaluation period during a stage of field of the custom object to compare on the canvas of the campaign and I want to confirm that she will be as I wait for him.

    We have a campaign that will send an email in nine batches, each a week after previous. I have a custom object with a field that contains the batch number (1-9) and I put nine steps to compare items customized on the canvas. The first checks to see if batch = 1, the second batch = 2, etc. I added a trial period of 7 days for the first eight steps. After I activated the campaign, I would expect all flow into the first stage of the decision and all those whose lot = 1 will immediately proceed to the stage of e-mail and the rest will wait seven days before moving on to the second decision, where everyone with batch = 2 will be moved to the stage left and e-mail everyone will wait for more than seven days, etc.

    I want to just make sure that this will be similar to, say, the Email step click on decision given that the data in the custom object will not change during the evaluation period, as it can to the other stages of decisions. And I don't want to accidentally send all nine lots at a time.

    Thank you.

    Hi Rob,

    This could work, as the Yes path would fire instantly and without the path would check during the evaluation period. Is there a reason to not only use a delay of a week between each stage of the decision well? A little more crowded, but perhaps more clearly during the audit of the canvas to the wire without having to enter each stage?

    See you soon,.
