Question

I’m really lost here.
I already checked many answers to “how to add something on stage from code that isn’t on document class” but I cannot find an easy answer.

Well, I have two classes:

documentclass, declared on the FLA:

package 
{
    import as3isolib.display.scene.IsoGrid;
    import as3isolib.display.IsoView;
    import as3isolib.display.primitive.IsoBox;
    import as3isolib.display.scene.IsoScene;
    import flash.display.Sprite;

    import com.sb.*;
    import com.sb.services.*;
    import as3isolib.geom.Pt;

    //[SWF(width='760', height='600', backgroundColor='#000000', frameRate='30')]
    public class iso extends Sprite
    {
        private var grid:IsoGrid;
        private var scene:IsoScene;
        private var view:IsoView;

        //Script de Execução do jogo, depois do preloader.
        public function iso()
        {
            trace("It's Alive!");

            var map = new Map();
            map.IsoStarter();

            trace("Ending Loader.");

        }

    }

}

and the class map, i’m calling:

package com.sb
{
    import as3isolib.display.scene.IsoGrid;
    import as3isolib.display.IsoView;
    import as3isolib.display.primitive.IsoBox;
    import as3isolib.display.scene.IsoScene;

    import flash.display.MovieClip;

    import com.sb.*;
    import com.sb.services.*;
    import as3isolib.geom.Pt;

    public class Map extends MovieClip
    {

        private var grid:IsoGrid;
        private var scene:IsoScene;
        private var view:IsoView;

        public function Map()
        {
            //Loading ISO 
        }

        public function MakeMap()
        {

        }
        public function EnableScrolling()
        {

        }

        public function IsoStarter()
        {
            //Load ISO + Iso Configuration
            var box:IsoBox = new IsoBox();
            box.moveTo(15, 15, 0);

            var grid = new IsoGrid();
            grid.setGridSize(400, 400, 5);
            grid.cellSize = 25;
            grid.showOrigin = false;

            var scene = new IsoScene();
            scene.addChild(box);
            scene.addChild(grid);
            scene.render();

            var view = new IsoView();
            view.setSize(760, 600);
            view.centerOnPt(new Pt(150,150,0));
            view.addScene(scene);
            super.addChild(view);

        }

    }

}

BTW: This one works perfectly (beeing document class), but is not organized enough for me:

package 
{
    import as3isolib.display.scene.IsoGrid;
    import as3isolib.display.IsoView;
    import as3isolib.display.primitive.IsoBox;
    import as3isolib.display.scene.IsoScene;
    import flash.display.Sprite;

    import com.sb.*;
    import com.sb.services.*;
    import as3isolib.geom.Pt;

    //[SWF(width='760', height='600', backgroundColor='#000000', frameRate='30')]
    public class iso extends Sprite
    {
        private var grid:IsoGrid;
        private var scene:IsoScene;
        private var view:IsoView;

        //Script de Execução do jogo, depois do preloader.
        public function iso()
        {
            trace("It's Alive!");

            IsoStarter();

            trace("Ending Loader.");

        }


        /* *
         * Iso não pode ser chamado de outra classe senão a Document Root
         * Se for encontrado um jeito para fazer isso, transferir essas 
         * funções para outro script, afim de manter a ordem.
         */

        public function IsoStarter()
        {
            //Load ISO + Iso Configuration
            var box:IsoBox = new IsoBox();
            box.moveTo(15, 15, 0);

            var grid = new IsoGrid();
            grid.setGridSize(400, 400, 5);
            grid.cellSize = 25;
            grid.showOrigin = false;

            var scene = new IsoScene();
            scene.addChild(box);
            scene.addChild(grid);
            scene.render();

            var view = new IsoView();
            view.setSize(760, 600);
            view.centerOnPt(new Pt(150,150,0));
            view.addScene(scene);
            super.addChild(view);

        }


    }

}

Thanks.

In your Map class, super.addChild(view); is adding your view to movieclip. Try either parent.addChild(view) or stage.addChild(view). If neither of those work, try passing a reference to your document class into Map:

Change your document class to pass a reference to itself to Map:

 public function iso()
        {
            trace("It's Alive!");

            var map = new Map(this);
            map.IsoStarter();

            trace("Ending Loader.");

        }

And change the constructor in your Map class:

public class Map extends MovieClip
    {

        private var grid:IsoGrid;
        private var scene:IsoScene;
        private var view:IsoView;
        private var parentRef:iso;  // <-----------

        public function Map(parentClass:iso) // <-----------
        {
            this.parentRef = parentClass;
            //Loading ISO 
        }

        public function MakeMap()
        {

        }
        public function EnableScrolling()
        {

        }

        public function IsoStarter()
        {
            //Load ISO + Iso Configuration
            var box:IsoBox = new IsoBox();
            box.moveTo(15, 15, 0);

            var grid = new IsoGrid();
            grid.setGridSize(400, 400, 5);
            grid.cellSize = 25;
            grid.showOrigin = false;

            var scene = new IsoScene();
            scene.addChild(box);
            scene.addChild(grid);
            scene.render();

            var view = new IsoView();
            view.setSize(760, 600);
            view.centerOnPt(new Pt(150,150,0));
            view.addScene(scene);
            parentRef.addChild(view);     // <-----------

        }

    }
