[LiquidStage - getByStage and Gaia]

Ok thanks for the info uramis instantiating LiquidStage in the onAddedToStage function of main.as also worked. Thanks.

[LiquidStage - getByStage and Gaia]

Also I forgot to mention changing the domain attribute fixed the problem I had with LiquidArea not doing anything. So bebber this should fix your problem too.

[LiquidStage - getByStage and Gaia]

Wow thank you so much I didn't even think to check for the application domain. I think it is fixed now.

 

The output is now

[object Stage]
[object LiquidStage]
[object LiquidStage]
[object Stage]
[object LiquidStage]

 

The problem was the domain attribute (http://www.gaiaflashframework.com/wiki/ ... S3_Only.29) in the site.xml it is set to null by default. So I changed it to current.

 

Example for future reference:

[LiquidStage - getByStage and Gaia]

Hi,

I am working on using LiquidStage with Gaia Framework. However I am having some problems with accessing the LiquidStage instance from nested within swf's.

 

I know this is probably a similar problem to this viewtopic.php?f=3&t=2892 however I couldn't find a solution there.

 

Trace of Stage

[object Main] root1
    [object SiteView] [siteView]
        [object Sprite] BOTTOM
            [object Loader] index
                [object IndexPage] instance12
        [object Sprite] MIDDLE
            [object Loader] index_nav_photography_female
                [object GalleryPage] instance22
        [object Sprite] TOP
            [object Loader] index_nav
                [object NavPage] instance16
        [object Sprite] PRELOADER
            [object Loader] instance7
                [object Preloader] instance8

 

They load in this order IndexPage -> NavPage -> GalleryPage

 

IndexPage.as

This is where I am instantiating the LiquidStage so it can be accessed later

The important part is in the init function.

 

package com.photogallery.pages
{
import com.gaiaframework.templates.AbstractPage;
import com.gaiaframework.events.*;
import com.gaiaframework.debug.*;
import com.gaiaframework.api.*;
import flash.display.*;
import flash.events.*;
import com.greensock.TweenMax;
import com.greensock.layout.*;

public class IndexPage extends AbstractPage
{		
	public var lStage:LiquidStage; 

	public function IndexPage()
	{
		super();
		alpha = 0;
	}
	override public function transitionIn():void
	{
		super.transitionIn();			
		init();
		TweenMax.to(this, 0.3, {alpha:1, onComplete:transitionInComplete});
	}
	override public function transitionOut():void 
	{
		super.transitionOut();
		TweenMax.to(this, 0.3, {alpha:0, onComplete:transitionOutComplete});
	}

	private function init():void {
		//Gaia.api.getWidth() and Gaia.api.getHeight() refers to the very original width and height
		lStage = new LiquidStage(this.stage, Gaia.api.getWidth(), Gaia.api.getHeight(), Gaia.api.getWidth(), Gaia.api.getHeight());
	}
}
}

 

GalleryPage.as

This is where I am trying to access the LiquidStage instance.

The important part is in the init function.

 

package com.photogallery.pages
{
import com.gaiaframework.templates.AbstractPage;
import com.gaiaframework.events.*;
import com.gaiaframework.debug.*;
import com.gaiaframework.api.*;
import flash.display.*;
import flash.events.*;
import com.greensock.TweenMax;
import com.greensock.layout.*;

public class GalleryPage extends AbstractPage
{	
	public var testMc1:MovieClip;
                               public var testMc2:MovieClip;

	public function GalleryPage()
	{
		super();
		alpha = 0;
	}
	override public function transitionIn():void 
	{
		super.transitionIn();
		init();
		TweenMax.to(this, 0.3, {alpha:1, onComplete:transitionInComplete});
	}
	override public function transitionOut():void 
	{
		super.transitionOut();
		TweenMax.to(this, 0.3, {alpha:0, onComplete:transitionOutComplete});
	}

	function init():void {
		trace(this.stage); //outputs: [object Stage]
		trace(LiquidStage.getByStage(this.stage)); //outputs: null

		var ls = Gaia.api.getPage("index").content.lStage; //gets a direct reference to the liquidstage instance through the index page.
		trace(ls); //outputs: [object LiquidStage]
		trace(ls.stage); //outputs: [object Stage]
		trace(LiquidStage.getByStage(ls.stage)); //outputs: null

		ls.attach(testMc1, ls.TOP_LEFT); //does work

		var area:LiquidArea = new LiquidArea(this, 50, 50, 100, 100, 0x313f19); 
		//var area:LiquidArea = new LiquidArea(this, 50, 50, 100, 100, 0x313f19, 0x313f19, 0, 0, 99999, 99999, true, ls);  //throws: TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert com.greensock.layout::LiquidStage@2604f581 to com.greensock.layout.LiquidStage.

		area.attach(testMc2); //has no effect but doesn't throw any errors
	}
}
}

 

So the output of this is

  [object Stage]
  null
  [object LiquidStage]
  [object Stage]
  null

 

Also this.stage == ls.stage

 

Also using this code

var ls:LiquidStage = Gaia.api.getPage("index").content.lStage;

instead of

var ls = Gaia.api.getPage("index").content.lStage;

Causes the following error TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert com.greensock.layout::LiquidStage@15f04581 to com.greensock.layout.LiquidStage.

 

I can't work out why LiquidStage.getByStage always returns null.

 

I hope that is clear I can send an example through with all the other code if you want but I have pasted all the relevants parts already.
