Re: [Flashcoders] Help with addChild
Hi JC,
I was speaking of my code I had a while ago and it was also in AS2,
but I had something like..
var newArray:Array = new Array();
and had to switch it to..
var newArray = new Array();
for it to work at all.
May have been something in my code somewhere else
that didn't like that strong typing of the array.
Not completely sure why that worked, was just glad it worked finally
after staring at it for many hrs. :)
I did not test your code though, sry. Merely a suggestion to try.

From other class:

Hi JC,

If you're creating myPopout from within the document class or any other class
that has been added to the stage, you would say
_myPopout = new myPopout();
addChild(_myPopout);

Yes, the last line in my "other class" (addChild(popInstance);) adds the
Tba instance, but it only works if I use one of the buttons on stage. How do
I add a class (myPopout) to the stage?

Re: [Flashcoders] Help with addChild
I don't think this is enough code... myPopout extends Sprite or MovieClip or
something?
What if in your other class you did this:
var myPopout:myPopout = new myPopout(e.target,this.btnNum,this.cityList);
addChild(myPopout);
?
I don't think we know enough about what you are doing...

Re: [Flashcoders] Help with addChild
I lost the thread to this, but he is adding it to the document class if I remember correctly. I think we'd need to see a little code again J.C. On Fri, Jul 16, 2010 at 3:07 PM, J.C.

Re: [Flashcoders] Help with addChild
Hi,
I think the stage has not yet been initiated, hence the addChild is not
working.
Try to get hold of the stage first and then so an addChild.
if(stage){
}else{
addEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE, onAddedToStage, false, 0, true);
}
private function onAddedToStage(e:Event):void
{
removeEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE, onAddedToStage);
addChild(...);
}
Hope this helps.
Warm Regards
Deepanjan Das

[Flashcoders] Help with addChild
Dear Group,
I wondered if I could bother you a minute with a simple question. I have a
document class that extends MovieClip, but my problem arises when I use
addChild to add some popups (movieclips) to the stage. They are only visible
when I attach my popups to an on-stage button:
mystagebtn.addChild(mypopup) but I get nothing when attaching using
addChild() or this.addChild or this.parent.addChild What reasons can there
be for my clips not being visible? As I said, my document class does extend
MovieClip and I have searched for a few days now and reading on the doc
class has not given me an answer. I wouldn't even mind a reference to a
tutorial that could help me. Thanks.
