Hello fellow flashers!
I am running a script in a movieclip that captures date and time but the actual fields are on the _root or the stage. How to I access my dynamic fields? I put the prefix stage. in front of the instance name but I am getting the errors on all the places where I am trying to access the instance name “Symbol ‘date-time’, Layer ‘Layer 1’, Frame 1, Line 14 1119: Access of possibly undefined property ampm2 through a reference with static type flash.display:Stage.” Here’s the code:
flash.display.Stage
//==== TIME ==== //
// This line puts the date object into a variable we can use more easily
var now:Date = new Date();
// These 3 lines put the hours, minutes, and seconds into variables
var hours = now.getHours();
var minutes = now.getMinutes();
// Conditional statement to set AM or PM according to hour(military time)
if (hours >= 12)
{
stage.ampm1.text = “PM”;
stage.ampm2.text = “PM”;
stage.ampm3.text = “PM”;
}
else
{
stage.ampm1.text = “PM”;
stage.ampm2.text = “PM”;
stage.ampm3.text = “AM”;
}
// Conditional that converts military time to standard time display
if (hours > 12)
{
hours = hours - 12;
}
if (hours == 00)
{
hours = 12;
}
// Conditional that adds 0 to the front of any hour less than 10
if (hours < 10)
{
stage.hours1.text = hours;
stage.hours2.text = hours;
stage.hours3.text = hours;
}
else
{
stage.hours1.text = hours;
stage.hours2.text = hours;
stage.hours3.text = hours;
}
// Conditional that adds 0 to the front of any minute less than 10
if (minutes < 10)
{
stage.minutes1.text = “0” + minutes;
stage.minutes2.text = “0” + minutes;
stage.minutes3.text = “0” + minutes;
}
else
{
stage.minutes1.text = minutes;
stage.minutes2.text = minutes;
stage.minutes3.text = minutes;
}
var format1:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
format1.letterSpacing = -20;
stage.hours3.setTextFormat(format1);
stage.minutes3.setTextFormat(format1);
//==== DATE ==== //;
//Array to hold a list of the weekdays.;
var weekdays:Array = new Array (“Sun”,“Mon”,“Tue”,“Wed”,
“Thu”,“Fri”,“Sat”);
//Array to hold a list of the months.
var months:Array = new Array (“Jan”,“Feb”,“Mar”,“Apr”,“May”,“Jun”,“Jul”,
“Aug”, “Sep”, “Oct”,“Nov”,“Dec”);
//Retrieve the day, month and year from the date class.
var theDay = weekdays[now.getDay()];
var theMonth = months[now.getMonth()];
var theDate = now.getDate();
stage.date1.text = theDay + ", " + theMonth + " " + theDate;
stage.date2.text = theDay + ", " + theMonth + " " + theDate;
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Have a good one!=
