Form.numChildForms

Availability

Flash Player 6 (6.0.79.0).

Edition

Flash MX Professional 2004.

Usage

myForm.numChildForms

Description

Property (read-only); the number of child forms contained by myForm that are derived directly from the class mx.screens.Form. This property does not include any slides that are contained by myForm; it contains only forms.

NOTE

When using a custom ActionScript 2.0 class that extends mx.screens.Form, the form isn't counted in the numChildForms property.

Example

The following code iterates over all the child forms contained in myForm and displays their names in the Output panel.

var howManyKids:Number = myForm.numChildForms;
for(i=0; i<howManyKids; i++) {
    var childForm = myForm.getChildForm(i);
    trace(childForm._name);
}
