Re: [Flashcoders] AS3 - how do i find the path to where a MC belongs?

[eka]

Hello :)

in AS3 i don't find a native method ?

For the moment you can test :

package
{

   import flash.display.* ;

   public class test extends Sprite
   {

       /**
        * Creates a new test instance.
        */
       public function test()
       {

           var container:Sprite = new Sprite() ;

           var container2:Sprite = new Sprite() ;
           container2.graphics.beginFill(0xFF0000, 1) ;
           container2.graphics.drawCircle(0, 0, 150) ;

           addChild(container) ;
           container.addChild(container2) ;

           var target:String = getDisplayPathName(container2) ;

           trace( target ) ;

       }

       static public function getDisplayPathName( display:DisplayObject
):String
       {

           var parents:Array = [] ;
           var parent:* = display ;

           while( true )
           {
               parents.push( parent.name ) ;
               parent = parent.parent ;
               if (parent.name == null)
               {
                   break ;
               }
           }

           parents.reverse() ;

           return parents.join( "." ) ;

       }

}

but it's not the better solution lol

Hi all,

I am wondering how can I manage to find the path to where a MC belongs?

in AS2 when you wanted the target to where the MC was all you had to do
was
to trace the movieclip instance. For instance cosider the following
example:

var mc:MovieClip = this.attachMovie("something" , "something0" , 0);
var mc = mc.something0.attachMovie("somethingelse" , "somethingelse0" ,
0);
trace(mc) // _level0.something0.somethingelse0


In AS3 since everything is a class everytime I trace an object i get its
class name.

So is there anyway of know the tree to where a mc belongs?

thanks
seb
