I have just started the move from AS1/2 to AS3, and I’ve got to a problem I can’t find a solution for.
I have a class that should create a panel to display live variable info. I use this box to tell me info sent from a shape object.
The class that makes the shape is a child of a MovieClip class I am using to hold it, so it is container.shapemaker, which is all good.
But how do I get from my shape object to the textfield.text variable of the panel?
The textfield object is added as a child during the panel constructor function, but when I check the textfield objects parent, I get null. The same goes for the shape object.
I don’t know what I am adding it to. It ends up on the screen, so I know I’m halfway there. I just don’t seem to be able to find it.
when I use addChild(textfield) inside a class function am I missing something? I won’t be able to add it to the parent, as the class has no parent. Can I add it to the stage/root? if so, how will I then reference it?
Sorry if this isn’t making much sense.
