Nothing but a Blank Screen/ TimerClass problem? EventListener?

[Mr. Baker the Shoe Maker]

When I test the code below nothing happens. I just get a blank screen.

What is supposed to happen?

When the program opens a splash screen should be added for 3 seconds and then fade out. Then some main screen movie clips should be added to the stage.

package

{

    //**************** IMPORT STATMENTS *********************

    import flash.display.MovieClip;

    import com.greensock.TweenLite;

    import flash.utils.Timer;

    public class Main extends MovieClip

    {

        //***************** Variables ***************************

       private var MainScene:Main = new Main();

        private var PopUp_MoreApps:MoreApps_mc = new MoreApps_mc();

        private var PopUp_About:About_mc = new About_mc();

        //*****SPLASH SCREEN ***

        private var mc_timerSplash:Timer;

        private var splashScreen:mcSplashScreen;

        //*****************CONSTRUCTOR CODE ********************************************************************* **************

        public function Main()

        {

            mc_timerSplash = new Timer(3000,1);

            mc_timerSplash.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER,  StartTimer);

            //When timer is finished stop the timer;

            mc_timerSplash.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER_COMPLETE, timerCompleted);

            splashScreen = new mcSplashScreen();

            //Adds the splash screen

            addChild(splashScreen);

            splashScreen.x = stage.stageWidth / 2;

            splashScreen.y = stage.stageHeight / 2;

            mc_timerSplash.start();

        }

        //*********** FUNCTIONS *********************************

        private function timerCompleted(e:TimerEvent):void

            {

                mc_timerSplash.stop();

                mc_timerSplash = null;

            }

        private function StartTimer(e:TimerEvent):void

        {

            TweenLite.to(splashScreen, 1, {alpha:0, onComplete: SplashScreen});

        }

        private function SplashScreen():void

        {

            removeChild(splashScreen);

            addMainScene();

        }

     //adds the main screen movieclips  

      private function addMainScene():void

        {

            addChild(MainScene);

            MainScene.x = 489;

            MainScene.y = 350;

            //TweenLite.from(MainScene.wbbIntro_mc, .5, {alpha: 0});

            TweenLite.from(MainScene, 1, {alpha:0});

            TweenLite.to(MainScene.girls_mc, 1, {y:395, delay:.3});

            TweenLite.to(MainScene.boys_mc, .5, {y:396, delay: .6});

            TweenLite.to(MainScene.Joe_mc, .5, {y:339, delay: 1});

            TweenLite.to(MainScene.Paul_mc, .5, {y:322, delay:1.2});

        }

        private function removeMainScene():void

        {

            removeChild(MainScene);

            TweenLite.to(MainScene.girls_mc, .1, {y:690});

            TweenLite.to(MainScene.boys_mc, .1, {y:693});

            TweenLite.to(MainScene.Joe_mc, .1, {y:636});

            TweenLite.to(MainScene.Paul_mc, .1, {y:619});

        }

    }

}

what's mcSplashScreen look like and where's its reg point?

[Mr. Baker the Shoe Maker]

It is a retangular movie clip and the reg point is in the center.

[kglad · Accepted solution]

then your problem is with Main.

what's your document class?  what's the class of your MainScene variable?   (and, those can't be the same.)

[Mr. Baker the Shoe Maker]

It worked!

I changed MainScene to mcMainScene.

[kglad]

great.
