The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

How to call a method in document class, from loader content movie AS3

Asked by gxp071 in ActionScript, Adobe Flash

Tags: Actionscript 3, Flash, swf loader

Hi im trying to make as small app but I'm having trouble accessing functions in the document class from the sibling movie that has been externally loaded.

I'm sure its that I'm just going about this totally the wrong way, I'm fairly new to AS3 and usually use AS2.

See the code and comments below,

             // In the external child mc im Trying to call
 
stage.lift();
 
// lift(); being a public function of the document class.  However I get the following compile error
// 1061: Call to a possibly undefined method lift through a reference with static type flash.display:Stage.
 
// if I cast the stage to a MovieClip, or StageManager (the doc Class extends MovieClip) the compile error goes away but I get a runtime error
// TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert flash.display::Stage@2de94b51 to flash.display.MovieClip.
 
//So I am stuck any suggestions would be welcomed.
