when you save a flash 8 file into cs3 or higher the declare stage instances setting in as3 settings is automatically unchecked.
its nice that your post popped on google on just the search of the error.
/no1
reminded me i had to manually update the as3 settings.

One horrible gotcha to this is that if you want to declare stage instance names for multiple similar clips, you then have to define variables for each of them.

This is troubling if you are doing rudimentary data association using ID's, which is a not-so-rare technique... (e.g; associating slides with a product ID or something)

Hey Andrew,
I have made a class A that is attached to a movie clip that contains another movie clip which has attached the class B.
I am getting the #1056 error fired from the class B because it can't find the property in class A. The reason is that somehow class B is compiled before class A, which is weird because class B belongs to a movie clip that resides into a movie clip of type A.
Is there any way that I can control the class compile order, or any reasonable solution to this problem?

Cheers,
Alex

Hi:
Thanks for this post, it was really helpful.
I tried declaring the vars as protected (to avoid possible interferences) but it gives the same error as when declared private.

how could this be done parametrically?

Great riff, Paiaso loco.

Thanks, Andrew for this. I came across this problem as another who'd never seen it before and was prepared to spin my wheels over it for awhile. I found this post in a search pretty quickly and it saved the day.

I never even know the toggle was there. I'm going to use it 100% of the time from now on, because then I can get code hinting and such when writing to objects that are .fla instantiated.

2008-10-01T23:25:00.000-07:00

If your "Automatically declare stage instances" option is off, you can also get code 1056 errors by referring to manually created instances that have not been declared at all let alone as private instances. For example:

this.aProperlyDeclaredChildMovieClip['anUndeclaredGrandChildMovieClip'].someMethod();

*BOOM* says the compiler. Well, "Error #1056" says the compiler, anyway.

It is a pain to have to declare the properties manually though, any ideas of how could this be done parametrically?

2007-08-01T08:42:00.000-07:00

Inheriting classes cannot access a private property in AS3.

They could do so in AS2, because only "public" & "private" were supported. But AS3 now supports "protected"

public = unrestricted access
private = class only access
protected = class & extending class access

thanx andrew, you saved me some time.
but i'm still a bit confused.
if i declare my_mc private in the base class A it should be perfectly reachable to class primeA because it inherited it. why can't primeA then control that private instance?
thanx

much help thanks! :)
