Problems with addChild()

Hello,
I am just learning AS3 and have a problem with addChild(). I
have created a slide show Class, which works fine when I call it
from the document class field of the .fla. If I call the slide show
class not directly from the .fla but though another class the slide
doesn't show, even through the slide show is running in the
background which I tested with traces.
I would be glad, if someone could help me with this problem.
Thanks in advande

imageLoader.load(urlReq); // get it
addChild(imageLoader); // display it
Maybe you have to wait until you are sure the image has been
loaded, i.e. when the event "complete:Event" happens.

Problem with addChild()

Hy! I'm trying to make a map for my game and I have a problem that I can't solve. I'm not going to write the entire code because it's really big...
public class Arena extends MovieClip
        private var logic:ArrayList = new ArrayList();
        private var display:ArrayList = new ArrayList();
          public function Arena()
          // create the logic and visual elements and add them into the Arrays
          public function generateMap():void
          // adding the visual elements (some MovieClips) to their respective place
          public function startListen():void
          for (var i:Number = 0; i < 100; i++)
               display.getItem(j).getItem(i).addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClick);
          // display is a matrice that's why the getItem is called twice
          // here I'm waiting for the user to click an element and after that to add a DataType in the Arena at the same location where he clicked
          function onClick(e:MouseEvent):void
            var Instance:* = new DataType();
            this.addChild(Instance);
            Instance.x = e.target.x;
            Instance.y = e.target.y;
          // the problem is that the e.target.x and y are always 0, no matter what.
          // if i try to write "e.target.addChild(Instance)" it addes it where I want, but inside the symbol
Can anyone give me a hand here ? Thanks a lot !

use currentTarget instead of target.

Problem with addChild() and getChildAt()

Can someone tell me why the last trace outputs undefined?
var myMC1:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
var myMC2:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
myMC1.addChild(myMC2);
myMC1.getChildAt(0).name = "myMC3";
trace(myMC1.getChildAt(0)); // outputs [object MovieClip]
trace(myMC1.getChildAt(0).name); //outputs myMC3
trace(myMC1.myMC3); // outputs undefined

So if I understand you correctly if I add a movie clip to
another movie clip using addChild() it would not be the same and I
won't be able to use the dot syntax to refer to the second movie
clip. But why?
This is because when you use addChild you add it to
DisplayContainer display list - not as a property of the parent
movie. Dot notation is for reading or invoking something that is in
the scope of an object. By adding a display object to display list
- it doesn't add another property to the Object's scope. Again, as
Ned said there are way to read the content of display list. In
order for the syntax you are craving for to work you need to create
properties and methods explicitly. Most of the classes in the
flash.display package are not dynamic (you cannot add more than
they already provide - you need to extend them in order to do
that),
This is the way it is. I hear what you are saying though (and
must admit that, perhaps, it looks more intuitive to refer to
children via dot notation) but from the viewpoint of OOP and AS3
architecture it would not be correct. I do see a good reason for
Adobe decoupling display list from object's properties. But this is
too long a discussion.

Problems with addChild in UIComponent

Hello there
I have this class, which extends UIComponent class, and I
need put a Label inside it, but when I create the label, and add it
using addChild method, the Label isnt shown.
The class name is "Page" and it is child of a class named
"PageManager" (extends UIComponeny) which is a child of another
class named "Magazine" (extends UIComponent) which is a unique
child of "Application" (extends Canvas).
the class source-code:
* Página que carrega o conteúdo passado por XML e

//addChild(_loader);
private function completeHandle(e:Event):void{
protected function clickHandle(e:Event):void {
Thanks a lot ;]

cool,
I've discovered the "override protected function
createChildren()", thats cool!
i've created two another classes extending UIComponent and
they didnt need the "override protected function createChildren()"
to attach components to them. This is only aplied on the classes
that I described above, when i try to use the method "addChild()"
to attach a Label.
I've followed the methods from the article, but is not
working the way I like yet.

Problem with the MenuBar and how can i delete a own component out of the storage

Hello,
I opened this thread in the category "Flex Builder 2", but
under this category my questions fit better.
I have a problem with the MenuBar and a question to delete a
component out of storage.
1. We have implemented the MenuBar, which was filled
dynamically with XML data.
Sporadically it will appear following fault, if we "mousover"
the root layer.
RangeError: Error #2006: Der angegebene Index liegt
außerhalb des zulässigen Bereichs.
at flash.display::DisplayObjectContainer/addChildAt()
at mx.managers::SystemManager/
http://www.adobe.com/2006/flex/mx/internal::rawChildren_addChildAt()
at mx.managers::SystemManager/addChild()
at mx.managers::PopUpManager$/addPopUp()
at mx.controls::Menu/show()
at mx.controls::MenuBar/::showMenu()
at mx.controls::MenuBar/::mouseOverHandler()
Here a abrid ged version of our XML to create the MenuBar:
<Menuebar>
<menu label="Artikel">
<menu label="Artikel anlegen" data="new_article" />
<menu label="Artikel bearbeiten" data="edit_article" />
<menu label="Verpackung">
<menu label="Verpackung anlegen" data="new_package" />
<menu label="Verpackung bearbeiten" data="edit_package"
/>
</menu>
<menu label="Materialgruppe">
<menu label="Materialgruppe anlegen"
data="new_materialgroup" />
<menu label="Materialgruppe bearbeiten"
data="edit_materialgroup" />
</menu>
</menu>
</Menuebar>
It is a well-formed XML.
2. Delete a component out of storage
We have some own components (basically forms), which will be
created and shown by an construct e.g.
var myComponent : T_Component = new T_Component ;
this.addChild(myComponent)
Some of our forms will be created in an popup. On every call
of the popup, we lost 5 mb or more, all childs on the windows will
be removed by formname.removeAllChild();
What cann we do, that the garbage collector will dispose this
objects.
Is there a way to show all objects with references (NOT
NULL)?
I have read in the Flex Help, that
this.removeChild(myComponent) not delete the form and/or object out
of the storage.
Rather the object must be destroyed.
It is sufficient to call delete(myComponent) about remove
this object out of the storage as the case may be that the
garbage-collector remove this object at any time?
Or how can I destroy a component correctly. What happens with
the widgets on this component e.g. input fields or datagrids?
Are they also being deleted?
Thanks for your help.

If you mena the "photo Library" then you cannot delete it.
This is how iphone handles photos. There are not two copies. There a re simply two places from which to access the same photos. ALL photos synced to iphone can be accessed via Photo Library. Those same pics can be accessed via their individual folder.

Problem with Import and Base Object

Hi everyone
Last week, I downloaded Flash CS5. I am trying different thing and here is the problem that I dont understand
I wrote a package like that
package {
    import flash.text.TextField;
    import fl.controls.Button;
    public class ex1 extends Sprite {
        public function ex1() {
           var myButton:Button = new Bu
tton();
            var label:TextField         = new TextField();
            addChild(label);
If I try to execute that script, the compiler returns error
1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: Button.
1180: Call to a possibly undefined method Button.
If I insert in the main stage (with the Componet Editor) a Button in the main stage, and recompile it, no error.
If I delete the Button in the main stage and recompile again, no error
But, If I save the projet and reload it again, I've got the same error
By the way, I dont have any problem with the textField()
What is wrong with my setup.
OTHER QUESTION:
If in the ACTION FRAME (F9), I insert the folowing code:
import ex1;
var a:ex1 = new ex1();
one more time, I've got error from the compiler. Why ?
We cannot include a package in the ACTION FRAME ?
Thanks for your help

There are some things (including $.fileName) that just do not work in jsxbin's.
I don't thing the exception hook will work either.
Either use an ini file in a well known location (~/Desktop) or make sure your
files are put in Presets/Scripts. That location can be determined with this bit
of code:
var SCRIPTS_FOLDER =
new Folder(app.path + '/' +
localize("$$$/ScriptingSupport/InstalledScripts=Presets/Scripts"));

Problem with FLVPlayback and component

First of all I had problem with control component. they are not working so i just named that ppo and change the visibility to false to get rid of problem!
ppo.visible=false;
Question1
(is there anyway to solve the problem? I mean to match the controlbar with screen of FLVplayer.)
Question2
what is the difference btw Flvplayback and FLVplayback 2.5 ?
Question3
whenever I click in btn1 it plays the flv.but sometimes it has no action so i click again and suddenly it plays the 001.flv twice and simultanously(even more than twice!)
how can I solve my problem ?
___________________Frame 1______________
import fl.video.*;

myVideo.skinFadeTime=300;
addChild(myVideo);
btn1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK , c1);
function c1(e:MouseEvent):void
myVideo.source = '001.flv';
Question 4 : I want to jump to another frame and start another flv but I want to stop previous flv. and again add myVideo2 to stage like frame 1 pattern. Is it true ? is there any better way to do this ?

thank you in advanced..

Question1
(is there anyway to solve the problem? I mean to match the controlbar with screen of FLVplayer.)
what are you calling the '..controlbar' and what are you calling the '...control component'?
Question2
what is the difference btw Flvplayback and FLVplayback 2.5 ?
2.5 has more features, http://blogs.adobe.com/ktowes/2009/05/announcing_dvrcast_and_flvplay.html
Question3
whenever I click in btn1 it plays the flv.but sometimes it has no action so i click again and suddenly it plays the 001.flv twice and simultanously(even more than twice!)
how can I solve my problem ?
remove the click listener so you can only click once. then you may need to wait if testing online.

Problem with drag and drop

Hi! I'm having a problem with getting this code working, basically I want to drag and drop two things onto another the things dissapear then it moves onto a new page, the first item works properly but then the second item wont dissapear and remains stuck to the cursor. Heres the code I'd be greatful of any help.
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import fl.motion.MotionEvent;
stop();
Back6_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onBack6Click)
function onBack6Click(event:MouseEvent):void{
    gotoAndPlay("Bedroom2");
    Forward6_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onForward6Click)
function onForward6Click(event:MouseEvent):void{
    gotoAndPlay('Brother bit');
var inGran:Number=0;
Gin.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, dragOn);
Tonic.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, dragOn);
function dragOn(event:MouseEvent):void {
    event.target.startDrag(false);
    stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, dragOff);
function dragOff(event:MouseEvent):void {
    event.target.stopDrag();
    if (event.target.dropTarget!=null&&event.target.dropTarget.parent==Gran) {
        event.target.visible=false;
        inGran++;
    stage.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, dragOff);
function checkPage(e:Event):void {
    if (inGran==2) {
        gotoAndPlay("Bedroom1");

you have some mismatched brackets, change your target properties to currentTarget (and i'm not sure you're dropping onto the correct target) but, try:
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import fl.motion.MotionEvent;
stop();
Back6_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onBack6Click)
function onBack6Click(event:MouseEvent):void{
    gotoAndPlay("Bedroom2");
    Forward6_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onForward6Click)
function onForward6Click(event:MouseEvent):void{
    gotoAndPlay('Brother bit');
var inGran:Number=0;
Gin.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, dragOn);
Tonic.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, dragOn);
function dragOn(event:MouseEvent):void {
event.currentTarget.parent.addChild(event.currentTarget);
    event.target.startDrag(false);
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, dragOff);
function dragOff(event:MouseEvent):void {
    event.target.stopDrag();
    if (event.target.dropTarget!=null&&event.target.dropTarget.parent==Gran) {
        event.target.visible=false;
        inGran++;
    stage.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, dragOff);
function checkPage(e:Event):void {
    if (inGran==2) {
        gotoAndPlay("Bedroom1");

Problem with Loader, trying to load multiple png files, error 1069 on the contentLoaderInfo

   imageLoaderJ.load(new URLRequest(reqM));
     // just counting for fun
   iNodeM ++;
function addM(e:Event){
try { var l_img:Loader = Loader(e.currentTarget.Loader);
       l_img.name = "imageLoaderJ" + mc_ArrayImg.length().toString() ;
       l_img.visible = false;
       mc_ArrayImg.push(l_img);
       mc_Jour.addChild(l_img);
         //calling the fucntion that will animate all img in the array and had some text to them.....

Hi, I'm not sure you are on the correct forum. This is the Flash Player forum. When you first open your thread, look to your right "More like This" and perhaps one of those forums would be helpful. Perhaps the Flash forum?

Problem with displaying chart data

Hello everybody,
I have problem with displaying chart data correctly. I'm using a cartesian chart with DateTimeAxis. The stockdata I'm using is for half a year and
with ticks for every day. The problem is, that Flex displays the data of february in march together with the data of march. I have added a picture
to show the result. The second column of the grid is for february and the third for march.
Could anybody help me with this problem. Thanks in advance.
Thomas

Hi Chris,
thanks for your reply. Here you get the source code:
The following method creates the LineChart:
        public function init():void
            model.upperChart = this;
            model.upperChartStyle.setChartViewStyle(this);
            this.hAxis = new MyDateTimeAxis();
            model.upperChartData.configureHAxis(this.hAxis);
            this.vAxis = new LinearAxis();
            model.upperChartData.configureVAxis(this.vAxis);
            this.vAxisTitle = new Label();
            this.vAxisTitle.text = model.upperChartData.getVAxisTitle();
            model.upperChartStyle.setVAxisTitleLabelStyle(this.vAxisTitle);
            this.vAxisTitle.x = 10
            this.vAxisTitle.y = 0;
            this.addChild(this.vAxisTitle);
            this.myChart = new CartesianChart();
            //remove default datatip
            this.myChart.showDataTips = false;
            this.myChart.x = 10;
            this.myChart.y = 0;
            this.myChart.width = 768;
            this.myChart.height = 196;
            model.upperChartStyle.setChartStyle(this.myChart);
            this.addChild(this.myChart);
            //Remove line shadow
            this.myChart.seriesFilters = null;
            this.myChart.horizontalAxis = this.hAxis;
            this.myChart.verticalAxis = this.vAxis;
            this.hAxisRenderer = new AxisRenderer();
            model.upperChartData.configureHAxisRenderer(this.hAxisRenderer);
            this.hAxisRenderer.axis = this.hAxis;
            model.upperChartStyle.setHAxisRendererStyle(this.hAxisRenderer);
            this.myChart.horizontalAxisRenderers.push(this.hAxisRenderer);
            this.vAxisRenderer = new AxisRenderer();
            model.upperChartData.configureVAxisRenderer(this.vAxisRenderer);
            this.vAxisRenderer.axis = this.vAxis;
            model.upperChartStyle.setVAxisRendererStyle(this.vAxisRenderer);
            this.myChart.verticalAxisRenderers.push(this.vAxisRenderer);
            model.upperChartStyle.setVAxisDataLabelStyle(this.vAxisMinLabel);
            this.addChild(this.vAxisMinLabel);
            model.upperChartStyle.setSeriesStyle(model.upperChartData.series, model.upperChartData.shares);
            this.myChart.dataProvider = model.upperChartData.dataProvider;
            this.myChart.series = model.upperChartData.series;
The data for dataprovider and series you can see in attached file dataprovider.xml.
xfield is equivalent to timestamp
yfield is equivalent to absolute
I think the problem could be the configuration of the datetimeaxis. The following method shows the parameter for the datetimeaxis:
        public function configureHAxis(axis:MyDateTimeAxis):void
            axis.parseFunction = UtilityClass.parseYYYYMMDDHHNNSSString2Date;
            axis.dataUnits = "days";
            axis.dataInterval = 1;
            axis.title = "";
            axis.minimum = new Date(UtilityClass.parseYYYYMMDDHHNNSSString2Date("2009-01-07 00:00:00").time);
            axis.maximum = new Date(UtilityClass.parseYYYYMMDDHHNNSSString2Date("2009-07-06 00:00:00").time);
And finally you get the function, that I'm using for string to date conversion:
        public static function parseYYYYMMDDHHNNSSString2Date(input:String):Date
            var result:Date = new Date();
            var year:Number = Number(input.substring(0,4));
            var month:Number = Number(input.substring(5,7));
            var date:Number = Number(input.substring(8,10));
            var hours:Number = Number(input.substring(11,13));
            var minutes:Number = Number(input.substring(14,16));
            var seconds:Number = Number(input.substring(17,19));
            result.setUTCFullYear(year);
            result.setUTCMonth(month-1);
            result.setUTCDate(date);
            result.setUTCHours(hours);
            result.setUTCMinutes(minutes);
            result.setUTCSeconds(seconds);
            return result;
I hope that will help to locate the reason for the wrong chart visualization.
Thanks for any help.

Some strange problem with Flash/As3

Hi,
I am having some strange problem with my flash cs3.
Whatever script I write in as3 doesn't work, even a stop() function doesn't work . But when I change my publish setting to as2 it works fine.
Not sure about the root cause, may be some setting or preference or my cs3 is corrupted.
Can anybody please advise.
Thanks,
Kishor

try this
create a new fla as3,
select frame 1
open the actions panel
paste in the following code
var squares:Array = new Array;
setup();
function setup():void {
    for (var i = 0; i < 25; i++) {
        var square:Sprite = new Sprite();
        //square.name = "square" + i;
        square.graphics.beginFill(Math.random() * 0xffffff);
        squares.push(square);
        squares[i].graphics.drawRect(0, 0, 100, 100);
        squares[i].x = i*3;
        squares[i].y = i*3;
        squares[i].filters = [];
        square.graphics.endFill();
        stage.addChild(squares[i]);
for (var j = 0; j < squares.length; j++) {
    squares[j].addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, dragMovie);
    squares[j].addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, dropMovie);
    squares[j].buttonMode = true;
function dragMovie(event:MouseEvent):void {
    event.target.startDrag();
function dropMovie(event:MouseEvent):void {
    event.target.stopDrag();

Problems with displaying Asian languages dynamically in a text box

I have a text box that I am adding to the stage dynamically. The text box is a movieclip in the library. However, when it is added to the stage the message is not displayed. I have no problems with English or Spanish but for Chinese, Korean, and Japenese the message is not displayed. Here is the code in Chinese (when a certain condition is met:
function whiteFlashCompleteF():void{
   ssMessageF("截图已添加至您的图片库");
function ssMessageF(s:String):void{
    ssMessage.alpha = 0;
    addChild(ssMessage);
    ssMessage.x=stage.stageWidth/2;
    ssMessage.y=stage.stageHeight/2;
    ssMessage.tf.text = s;
    TweenLite.to(ssMessage,1,{alpha:1});
    TweenLite.to(ssMessage,1,{alpha:0, onComplete:ssMessageCompleteF, delay:3, overwrite:false});
Do anyone have any ideas on how I can get the text to display?

any text that is rendered in a dynamic textbox during runtime,
has to consist of characters of a font you have properly embeded,
(which might not be the case for this chinese message)
