Slide.parentIsSlide

Availability

Flash Player 6 (6.0.79.0).

Edition

Flash MX Professional 2004.

Usage

mySlide.parentIsSlide

Description

Property (read-only); a Boolean value indicating whether the parent object of mySlide is also

a slide. If the parent object of

mySlide is a slide, or belongs to a subclass of Slide, this property

returns

true; otherwise, it returns false.

mySlide is the root slide in a presentation, this property returns false, because the

presentation slide’s parent is the main (_level0), not a slide. This property also returns

false

if a form is the parent of

mySlide.

Example

The following code determines whether the parent object of the slide mySlide is itself a slide.

mySlide.parentIsSlide is true, the number of mySlide’s sibling slides is displayed in the

Output panel. If the parent object is not a slide, Flash assumes that

mySlide is the root

(master) slide in the presentation and therefore has no sibling slides.

if (mySlide.parentIsSlide) {

trace("I have " + mySlide._parent.numChildSlides+" sibling slides");

} else {

trace("I am the root slide and have no siblings");

}
