here's my current code:
CODE
private function createEventList(pbList_xl:XMLList):void
{
if (this.contains(eventList)) removeChild(eventList); // 
remove previous eventList if it's available - this is the bit that needs 
fixing

var listLength:int = pbList_xl.length();
var listentryHeight:int = 15;
var listHeight:int = listLength * listentryHeight;
var listWidth:int= 50;
var mousePoint:Point= new Point(root.mouseX, 
root.mouseY); // will tween from this point to a central point on the stage
   
var eventList:Sprite = new Sprite();

eventList.graphics.beginFill(commonGrey, 1);
eventList.graphics.drawRoundRect(0, 0, listWidth, 
listHeight, 10);

eventList.x = mousePoint.x;
eventList.y = mousePoint.y;
   
addChild(eventList);

}
/CODE

hope you can help

that's actually helped me implement a movieActive variable so i've  
decided to go down that route instead - thanks for the input

Re: [Flashcoders] how to check if child exists

2008-04-02 Thread Jiri Heitlager

From the help files and modified a bit. It is probably more efficient 
to keep track of names and the do a getChildByName(string)




function traceDisplayList(container:DisplayObjectContainer, 
DispObjToCheck:DisplayObject) : Boolean

{
var child:DisplayObject;
for (var i:uint=0; i  container.numChildren; i++)
{
child = container.getChildAt(i);

if(child == DispObjToCheck){

//found it and break out of the loop
return true;
}



if (container.getChildAt(i) is DisplayObjectContainer)
{
traceDisplayList(DisplayObjectContainer(child), DispObjToCheck)
}
}

return false
}

Re: [Flashcoders] how to check if child exists

2008-04-02 Thread Steven Sacks

If the display object is checking itself, all you have to do is check to 
see if stage == null.


Otherwise, you can see if its parent contains it.

parentClip.contains(dispObj);

that said, i'd still like to know how to determine if a display object 
is in the current display list?
