This drawing surface would be in charge of taking mouse input and passing the coordinates along to a sprite that sits on the layer between the drawing surface and the image. The drawing surface is an empty Sprite. According to the docs, a display object that...

in ActionScript 3, if I loop through the children of a movie clip, it will return a DisplayObjectContainer, which is a list of DisplayObjects. However, the AS3 typeof cannot identify MovieClip as MovieClip is now an object, instead of a data type. How can I correctly identify MovieClip? I found 3 solutions online: Solution 1 (the sol...

In Flash CS4 I have a MovieClip called LoginForm which contains two text inputs (name and password), a button (sign in) and some error text. For some reason, the bottom most object will not show up in the swf. I could add as many buttons, movie clips or shapes as I want and whatever I sent to back will not show up. Also, I know that th...
Has anyone got any alternatives to what Colin Moock has coded to GET VISIBLE WIDTH/HEIGHT OF A DISPLAY OBJECT in ActionScript 3?

What's happening in this simple piece of AS3 code? Why does my object change from TextField to the more generic DisplayObject? public class Menu extends MovieClip { private var active_button:SimpleButton; public function Menu() { active_button = SimpleButton( menu_list.getChildAt( 0 )); // ignore menu_lis...
A couple years in now, there's still something about mouseEnabled I'm not getting. I have a Sprite (for example here "Sky", that contains many objects, one of them is a Cloud, which I do not want to receive Mouse Events. I overlay this Sky on some other display objects. I want the cloud to be visible, but not to block mouse events. If yo...
Is there any way to draw text in a DisplayObject or Shape using only ActionScript? The only way I can find on the web is by creating a TextField, but I can't add a TF to a DisplayObject or Shape. Edit: Solved thanks to viatropos. For anyone that's interested: DisplayObject implements IBitmapDrawable which can be passed as an argument...
I'm new to Flash and ActionScript, but managing quite nicely. One thing that is continuously getting in my way are the width and height properties of DisplayObject(Container)s. I'm finally starting to get my head around them and learned that the width and height of a Sprite are determined solely by their contents for example. I do not u...
Hi, I'm using Flash CS4 and the following ActionScript 3 code: import fl.containers.ScrollPane; // var sp:ScrollPane = new ScrollPane(); sp.name="scroller"; // sp.setSize(320, 240); sp.move(10, 10); addChild(sp); // var mcCount:int=10; // var nextY:int=0; // var i:int=0; // var holder:MovieClip = new MovieClip(); holder.name="contain...
