I can trace out, and attach the child to the subclass and have it
display the unformatted bmp,
so not only does my function work when passing the data, I have a
starting point to test from.
What I am now wondering, is if it acts as a pointer to the original
target, or of it duplicates the image...
public function newThumbNail(target:Bitmap, pos:uint) {
//I am duplicating the data in case it is a pointer and not a
newly instantiated object.
var bmp:Bitmap = new Bitmap();
bmp.bitmapData = target.bitmapData;
//addChild(bmp); I was able to see the data when passed using
this.
//the params for my new thumb constructor are just temporary...
and they can be traced out from the subclass
var tmb:thumb = new thumb(this.x, this.x, tmw, tmh);
tmb.name = "thumb" + pos;
tmb.newImage(bmp);
this.thumbsContainer.addChildAt(tmb,pos);
}
now when I want it to display the BMP in the thumb class... nothing
happens...

Try to trace where you loose the scope of your bitmap.
Do you "return" it from your subclass??

And listening to events fired by children.
I have done that , put when I pass the function...
newThumbNail(this.imageDataArray[this.imageDataArray.length-1]);
it still does not display my image as a thumbnail... I have tested to
see if it is receiving the image data, and it is; however, for some
reason, I can't seem to put it on the display list. I have added all
children in order, and I am wondering what is going on.
private function onImageLoad(event:Event):void {
var bmp:Bitmap = event.target.loader.content as Bitmap;
this.imageDataArray[this.imageDataArray.length] = bmp;
if (this.imageTotal == 0) {
trace('we are getting this far');
this.BIPanel.newImage(this.imageDataArray[this.imageDataArray.length-1]);
//this is the call to the first big image and it loads
very well
}
this.tPanel.newThumbNail(this.imageDataArray[this.imageDataArray.length-1],
imageTotal);
//............now this seems to pass the data but the image
is not displayed in the child class of thumbs panel
//thumbnailPanel class thumbnail class.....
//yet, I have added everything as a child of it's parent.
}
it still does not show up; yet, the subClass method traces out the
bitmap data that was sent. What am I doing wrong? I need an answer
bad. I used to be able to do this so easily in as2.

Put your bitmaps in a globally declared Array and they will be available

Actually,
I thought I figured it out, and then it stopped working. I was just
duplicating the bitmap; yet, it doesn't seem to work anymore??? Maybe I
messed up something...

Hi Anthony,
Good for you!
I live in The Netherlands (GMT+1) so I missed some hours in your
progress.
Would you be so kind to share your solution?
Kind regards

Figured it out, and thanks for the help.

Just thinking about reparenting issues at this point, and your way is
great if you record a depth variable and pass it back to a parent
function which passes it back to a parent function etc... ;yet, what if
my parent has changed and I don't have that function available to me
anymore? Is there some way of doing this
One addition: If you put your function in a class file (.as) they will
always be available, no matter what is on your stage.
Set this as your Document file and you are good to go.
