Reskin WP to match site design

Skinning WP to match my new site design and layout was fairly easy and straight forward. Thanks WP for the great documentation.

NOTES:
New site is being built and I’m using a combination of flash, css and jquery, found a new love for javascript in the past year. I’ve also been working on tying the blog to the home page via a flash rss reeder. The prototype model is working and the code is in the process of being cleaned and optimized. There will be a future more in depth post regarding this experiment.

AS3 targeting outside clip or to stage

I honestly can’t tell you the number of times in the last three weeks I’ve been asked this question, “I’m trying to target a movie clip or function on the root timeline, how can I do that?”. So I thought this would be a good topic to open my blog with.

One way to get around the display Object in AS3 is to give the stage a reference name. After the stage has a ref. name you can then target a function or another movie clip on the stage.

Example: Inside a nested movie clip you need to target a function on the Timeline.

var myStageRef:MovieClip = (this.parent as MovieClip);

Now you can target a movieClip or function outside of the nested movieclip.

source.FLA. I hope this helps anyone else who has ever struggled with this.
