I have a mobile as3 app that has two screens that are class files load with addChild, I am trying to switch between them with a menu approach that changes the visible property of both, but I can't make the one that has the visible=false property become visible. The menu code is as follows:
package
{
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.display.StageAlign;
import flash.display.StageScaleMode;
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import events.NavigationEvent;
import screens.LessonScrn;
import screens.MenuScrn;
public class Main extends Sprite
{
public var menuscreen:MenuScrn;
public var lsnscrn:LessonScrn;
public function Main()
{
super();
// support autoOrients
stage.align = StageAlign.TOP_LEFT;
stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE;
menuscreen = new MenuScrn();
addChild(menuscreen);
lsnscrn = new LessonScrn;
addChild(lsnscrn);
lsnscrn.disposeTemporarily();
}
public function onChangeScreen(event:NavigationEvent):void
{
switch (event.params.id)
{
case "lsn":
trace ("Attempt to begin lesson screen");
lsnscrn.disposeTemporarily();
menuscreen.initialize();
break;
case "menu":
menuscreen.disposeTemporarily()
lsnscrn.initialize();
addChild(lsnscrn);
break;
}
}
}
}
the initialize and disposetemporarily are as follows:
public function disposeTemporarily():void
{
this.visible = false;
}
public function initialize():void
{
this.visible = true;
}
There is no errors, it just will not re initialize the screens. I tried using the addChild and removeChild methods but got the same result. Any ideas would be helpful.
