Question

Okay, so I have this class that basically acts as a manager of an enemy. For some reason, whenever I try to make a bullet instance within the class and use addChild(), I get Error #1009. Here’s the code:

var bullet:EnemyBullet = new EnemyBullet();

stage.addChild(bullet);   //Error comes up here

bullet.x = enemy.x;
bullet.y = enemy.y;

bManager.bulletVector.push(bullet);

I’ve been using this method for two other classes without issue, so I’m stuck. All help is appreciated.

Answer 1

I’m guessing because the class does not know where the stage is

the way to handle that would be to use anAddedToStage event handler, and put the stage.addChild code within
