I tried addChild(notes); but that threw an error (Error #1034: Type
Coercion failed: cannot convert test::drawno...@7218ca1 to
mx.core.IUIComponent.). I googled a bit and it seems like you have to
make it into a UIComponent first. I tried this:
var uic:UIComponent = new UIComponent;
uic.addChild(notes);
This doesn't do anything though, so maybe my actionscript code is
wrong. I thought notes would be a Sprite, but maybe I need to do
something more? Here's the actionscript class:
package test
{
import assets.Note;
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.text.*;
public class DrawNotes extends Sprite
{
[Embed(source="HELSINKI.TTF", fontFamily="HELSINKI")]
private var embeddedFont:String;
private var note1:Note;
public function DrawNotes()
{
super();
// I've removed it as it would make the code
too long, but this calls a function that creates a textfield with the
music notes
createTextField(17,
AntiAliasType.NORMAL, "&", 63, 53);
note1 = new Note();
addChild(note1);
}
}
}
Cheers,
Annelie
