Its so tempting to work with you just to quit.

Is it your document class?

Are you creating a new Test and doing addChild on that?

Im just importing the class, and creating a new instance of it..

import classes.*;

var test:Test = new Test();

I don't really have an idea of what a document class is, so explain please.

Hi,

I've just began playing around with OOP in AS3, and I've hit a snag at adding movieclips though a class onto the stage. At the moment, I'm trying:

package classes
{
import flash.display.MovieClip

public class Test extends MovieClip
{
function Test()
{
var box:box_link = new box_link();
box.x = 100;
box.y = 200;

addChild(box);
}
}
}

but nothing happens. No errors, no MC appearing on the stage, anything. I've tried loads of different things for the addChild, i.e. stage.addChild, parent.addChild, this.addChild etc, but none work.

I'm sure theres something blatently obvious that I'm missing out, but I have no idea what it is, so help please?

Thanks,
Tom

a tutorial.

You weren't closing you're curly brackets.

I have. But I didn't want to. If I have loads of MC's on the stage then it would take too much time to add them in ^^.

Anyway, I want to find out how to do it this way.

Hi,

I was wondering how to find all the movieclips on the stage using AS3, and a for..in loop. I know in AS2, you could just do:

for(var i:String in _root)
{
trace(_root[i]);
}

but they removed _root as far as i know. I have tried:

for(var i:String in stage)
{
trace(stage[i]);
}

but that fails miserably. Any ideas people?

Ta, Tom.

Try:

MC.swapDepths(12345678);

The person said:

"Flame" + index, instead of "Flame" add index.

Can't you read?

Blatent code fail.

Try reading through the code next time. I made a blatent mistake.

Use a while loop instead of a for loop. Tis a hell of alot faster than a for loop in AS2.

i2 = 1;

while(i2 < 2000){
// stuff
++i;
}

Why does the thread title say 'Flash 8 for flash'? D'you mean 'flash 8 for mac'? =p

However, that doesn't work?

onClipEvent(enterFrame){

Isn't there a voice acting club?

Try:

_global.variableName = "blah";

Might work. Never personally tried it myself.

gotoAndStop("scene 2",2)

I hate nadal - Federer should of won.

onClipEvent (load) {

should be

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {

and instead of '_root.this', have 'this'

Instead of using a for loop, use a while loop. It runs far faster in AS2.

Using just API, that is truly awesome.

Why the hell have you got a random for loop doing nothing?

Urgh...Just been doing this in VB at school.

Are you stalking me?

onEnterFrame = functionb():Void{
if(Key.isDown(Key.ENTER)){
_global.score++:
}
}

Should work just fine.

A quick search of google gives this

Enjoy

Try making it a global variable. Long shot, but may work.

_global.contact = false;

Thats right! I had to point that out xD

Oh well...Wasn't paying that much attention =p
And you had a head start on writing it over me =o
