So flex let me access this stage property but the flash player tell me it’s null although I added my Class to the display list…

import mx.core.Container;
import flash.display.StageAlign;
import flash.display.StageScaleMode;

import mx.managers.SystemManager;
import flash.events.Event;

import mx.core.Application;

public class ResolutionController extends Container
{

public function ResolutionController()

}
public function register():void{
//access the stage after having added this class to the display list
this.stage.addEventListener(Event.RESIZE, onResize);
}

That means that DisplayObjectContainer, MovieClip, Sprite, etc. all inherit .stage from DisplayObject. In other words, every sprite and every movieclip and every custom class that extends either of them -- everything that can possibly appear on the stage -- has a .stage property. That means you can do this: public class MyClass extends Sprite { public function MyClass( ) { trace( this.stage.width ); } } Hope it helps. In case it’s helpful to anyone:

If you added an object to the stage - you can then add objects to that via addChild. So - stage.addChild(myObject). myObject.addChild(whatever); Does that help?

So if I want to addChild from an AS file other than the document class, I would have to do something like: _stage.addChild(MC); ? Still can’t figure this out.
