I am working on a component that attaches a movieclip. When I drag it to
the stage it attaches multiple copies of this movieclip skipping my
checks and balances. But when I test the movie it works fine and only
shows one instance like i designed it to. Is there anyway to find out in
my component class file if the instance is on the stage or in a test movie?
class myComponent extends TextInput {
// constructor
function myComponent() {
}
function init() {
if ("onTheStage") {
// exit out and do not attach movie
}
else {
// attach movie
styleRequired()
}
}
// style the text box when the value is valid
function styleRequired() {
trace("style required")
required_mc =
_parent.attachMovie("required_mc",this+"_required",
this._parent.getNextHighestDepth());
if (required) {
trace("required="+required)
if (requiredAlign=="left") {
required_mc._x = _x - required_mc._width;
required_mc._y = _y;
}
else {
required_mc._x = _x + __width;
required_mc._y = _y;
}
}
else {
required_mc._visible = false;
}
}
}
