Hi, I am the original poster. Thanks for your effort. I still hoping someone can help me.
It is correctly set as Document class. And it is the only class so far. So if you create an empty fla and set the Document class to LesViewer Create a new LesViewer.as in the same folder and copy/paste this code in it ---------------------------------class code --------------------- package { import flash.display.MovieClip; import flash.display.SimpleButton; import flash.text.TextField; public class LesViewer extends MovieClip{ public const STAGE_WIDTH = 800; public const STAGE_HEIGHT = 600; private var container:MovieClip; private var header:MovieClip; private var menu:MovieClip; private var content:MovieClip; private var footer:MovieClip; private var tfHeader:TextField; private var tfLessonInput:TextField; private var tfFooter:TextField; private var bSubmit:SimpleButton; public function LesViewer() { init(); } private function init():void{ buildGUI(); } private function buildGUI():void{ //main container - everything is in here container = new MovieClip(); container.x = 0; container.y = 0; container.width = STAGE_WIDTH; container.height = STAGE_HEIGHT; addChild(container); //header - contains a nice graphic/animation, a textfield, a lesson-number-input field, the submit button header = new MovieClip(); header.x = 0; header.y = 0; header.width = STAGE_WIDTH; header.height = STAGE_HEIGHT * .2; container.addChild(header); // TODO: create animation tfHeader = new TextField(); tfHeader.text = "Les:"; tfHeader.x = 300; tfHeader.y = 20; header.addChild(tfHeader); trace(container.height); //footer no real purpose yet, I guess I'll address some credentials to the author :-) footer = new MovieClip(); footer.width = STAGE_WIDTH; footer.height = 30; footer.x = 0; footer.y = STAGE_HEIGHT - footer.height; container.addChild(footer); //menu container - contains a Bitmap-thumbnail of every frame of the loaded swf menu = new MovieClip(); menu.x = 0; menu.y = header.height; menu.width = STAGE_WIDTH*.2; menu.height = STAGE_HEIGHT - header.height - footer.height; container.addChild(menu); content = new MovieClip(); container.addChild(content); //inputfield for lesson number //submit button //content container } } } -----------------------------end class code --------------------- //Thanks again! //Cor _______________________________________________ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
