You need to dispatch the event after your F instance is added to the stage. Right now the order of operations is like this:
1. instantiate root class 2. instantiate F 3. dispatch event from F 4. add listener to F 5. add F to root class display hierarchy Obviously 4 and 5 need to be done before #3. So you'll want to add an ADDED_TO_STAGE listener in F and then dispatch the event in that listener callback. -jonathan On Mon, Aug 30, 2010 at 11:31 AM, Lehr, Theodore <[email protected]>wrote: > So now I am trying this: > > in .fla: > > var countF:int=0; > > function incCountF(e:Event):void > { > countF++; > } > > for ...... { > var newF:MDot = new MDot(); > newF.addEventListener("increaseF",incCountF); > addChild(newF); > } > > > then in the .as I have: > > package > { > [Event(name="increaseF")]; > > public function ....... > { > var e:Event = new Event("increaseF"); > dispatchEvent(e); > > } > } > > for some reason I think my listener is not catching it.... > > > > > > > > > > > > > ________________________________________ > From: [email protected] [ > [email protected]] On Behalf Of Henrik Andersson [ > [email protected]] > Sent: Monday, August 30, 2010 1:43 PM > To: Flash Coders List > Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] Accessing .fla var > > Lehr, Theodore skriver: > > In my .fla I have: > > > > var countF:int=0; > > > > then in the library I have a mc with linkage to an .as file > > > > In that .as file, I want to be able to: > > > > countF++; > > > > > Main timeline > |____>frame 1 > |___>variable > |___>instance of symbol > |_>Symbol > |_>assigned class > |_>code to access the variable > > DocumentClass(parent).var++ > _______________________________________________ > Flashcoders mailing list > [email protected] > http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders > _______________________________________________ > Flashcoders mailing list > [email protected] > http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders > -- -jonathan howe _______________________________________________ Flashcoders mailing list [email protected] http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
