i have a question.
how can i access the variable on root from inside of movieClip?
i have tried this.parent.variable but it didn't worked

Try this.["root"]["VariableNameLewl"]

Silkey, i'll try that, thanks

Someone asked for a vcam.
Here you go.

AS3: fl.controls

Using dynamic access changes nothing.
The 'DisplayObject.root' property is there, or you can use a static method.

Does anybody wanna make a displacementMapFilter tutorial? I really can't figure it out =P..

I'm having some problems with accessing a var. I started a thread about this. Could somebody help me out, and please in the thread and not in AS3: main, to keep chit-chat down.

AS3 metadata tags. Awesome.

I have a small problem... Could somebody help me, keep it in this thread

Stop advertising your problem threads here, this is for AS3 tutorials :P.

Ok, I'm sorry, as a deed to compensate my bad deeds I made a very simple tutorial on displaying variables in textbox

It's possible that I've made a mistake, if so leave a comment in that thread or PM me.

I just wrote a tutorial on dragging objects in AS3

Also I was wondering, should I write a tutorial for basics of AS3, so how EventListeners work and other things?

Hey guys

My newest tutorial AS3: Counter has just been posted =D

I made another AS3 thread, it's about adding external images. Sadly the layout looks a bit messed up (of the thread).

would someone try making a tutorial about creating classes?

I think someone need's to post all of the tutorials like Denvish did, so basically this thread needs a Denvish stand-in. I hate having to read every post for tutorials :P

It's actually not that hard. Just put the class into another file (named after the class) inside of a package{} block, and then you should be able to access it like normal. If you want to know more about specifics of classes, you can always look up an AS2 OOP tutorial - they haven't changed much in basic structure

You mean that there's a list of all the tutorials like on page 2? I'll maybe do that

You should read the AS3: OOP thread. It's about Object Orientated Programing, basically any language using class files is an OOP

Just posting this so that I can post the new list of tuts on a new page ^_^.

:sorry if I counted incorrectly =p

This one is a more efficient way of doing it:

AS3: Rotating With Matrices

what about xml tutorial ? I'm getting "...well formatted" error while working with it.

From now on I'd prefer if anyone with simple questions and /or tutorial requests would try to keep those in a different thread, or by PMing someone you'd like to help you.

If people keep posting that stuff here, things will get cluttered.

Thank you ^_^.
