Short explanation of my question:
addChild appears 1 time in the code i posted. I essentially pass something to addChild.
Yet i cannot pinpoint where in the code the cause arises of why nothing seems to be added to the stage.
Here’s a version of the code which is more comprehensively formatted than the code pasted below: http://flash.pastebin.com/m471d31c1
More detailed explanation:
Here’s basically what i’m trying to do. The following code which you’ll see are two AS3 classes in seperate flash .as files. Those classes are part of a game which i’m trying to create. The first class is called GameLogic and the second class is called Symbol. The class GameLogic is run as a script in a frame by creating a new object of that class in that framescript.
Ok so the code tries to generate random numbers from 0 to 8. Those random numbers represent types of symbols. When a random number is created and that number is not the same as a previously generated number, then it’s used as an argument to create a new instance of the class Symbol.
Every new instance of the class Symbol is stored in an array. That array is called chosenSymbol[].
The class Symbol also contains a method getSymbolType(), which returns a MovieClip. So when i want to get a MovieClip which is basically a graphic design of a symbol i do this: chosenSymbol[].getSymbolType()
The MovieClips are in the library of flash and i have named them appropriatly(i think) and have checked the checkbox “export for actionscript” in their properties.
So to draw a MovieClip from the library to the stage i do: addChild(chosenSymbol[limitedCounter].getSymbolType());
Then when i try to test the movie in Flash i get no errors in the output window. But no MovieClip on the stage!
So i’ve tried to trace the height and width and name of chosenSymbol[limitedCounter].getSymbolType(), afterall it returns a MovieClip, When i do that i get 0 & 0 for height and width and some name called instance50 as the name. So there’s definitly something wrong, but i can’t seem to figure out what it is. The MovieClips are 92 * 92 pixels and they have names like Square_MC and Ring_MC etc.
I’ve also tried to give the MovieClip’s X and Y values 200 and 200 to make sure they are positioned on the stage, but to no avail.
Can someone see what is wrong in this code? Why doesn’t a MovieClip get shown on the stage?
This is the first class called GameLogic:
