ActionScript 1/2 :: How To Reference To External SWF
May 30, 2011
I'm new round here so sorry to open with a question. Flash isn't my area of expertise at all, but if anyone needs help with Photoshop or Joomla then I might be able to help! Anyway - my problem. I had a SWF which interacts with a component SWF. I want to remove the component and replace it with an external SWF. I've created a SWF which contained only the component. I'm then loading that using the following AS2 code:
Code:_root.createEmptyMovieClip("my_ssp", 1);
container._x = 0;
container._y = 0;

My code is an external .as file. Google provides this code on their demo, which contains the this keyword:
[Code]...
Notice that I have 4 calls to console.log. The first 3 fire, but after the new GATracker statement, the 4th does not fire. I have a feeling that I'm overriding the entire package with the object created from new GATracker when I should be passing a different context. I believe the correct context I should pass is whatever this defaults to when not inside of a package/external file, I assume it references the main stage object.

If you load an external swf into a movie and this external file references "_root", does "_root" reference the root of the external swf or the swf that contains the external file?

I'm working on a project for a client who wants to embed a 37 page Power Point presentation in a Flash application. Based on past history, I am 100% certain that this client is going to be making changes to this down to the last minute (adding pages, changing copy, removing pages, etc.) so I thought that it would be best to externally reference the whole thing if possible. I was further thinking that the easiest thing to do would be to just export the whole presentation as a PDF and use that. So I'm wondering if anyone knows of a component of some sort that we could purchase that would allow viewing a PDF internally inside an interface, kind of like how you can preview books onI know that we can go out and grab the PDF using code like this:
ActionScript Code:
getURL("myFolder/myPDF.pdf", "_blank");

I've been requested to create a flash project in which all images are external references.Images (mostly png) are created and can be modified anytime by artists, fla files and actionscript are created by developers. When opening a fla file, images should be automatically updated with the latest ones on the server and be visible in the fla file.Technical requirements are as follow : Actionscript 2.0 and Flash player 9 max.I tried to use the Loader component, it seems to be what I want (with Autoload function enabled), but unfortunately ActionScript 2.0 component doesn't allow png files, and doesn't work anymore when embedded inside a movieclip or a button (image became totally invisible).A simpler solution should be to automatically run the "Update" button on every image in the library but I don't think Flash to be able to do such a thing.

I have a Main.fla which loads Main.as as its document class. In Main.as I have a public function named "Main" which runs a trace. I also have another .as file called Preloader.as, which also has a public function in it, this one named "Preloader" with simple trace in it. I just cannot figure out how to use Preloader() from the Preloader class in Main() from the Main class. Main.as loads up fine when the SWF loads and traces.

I have an external AS3 class file which is loaded up on the first frame of the Flash movie.
How can I reference the stage object in the AS3 file without having to pass it as a parameter?I mean it seems to me like the stage object is in the global realm - or am I incorrect with this assumption?

I want to create a MovieClip, pass this MovieClip to a function in another class where it will be modified.The problem is, when I pass the MovieClip as a parameter to a function and start making changes, the changes are only made locally. The "copy" of the MovieClip inside the function gets changed, but the "real" MovieClip back in my main game class remains unchanged. Here's the code from my Main class:
Code:
var resourceLoader:ExternalResourceLoader = new ExternalResourceLoader();
var myMovieClip:MovieClip;[code].....

Is there any way to embed Flash completely in HTML, without reference to an external SWF file? I ask because I would like to send an HTML file as an email attachment that the recipient will open in a browser and fill out as a form. The last step is that they will copy the result to their clipboard, paste it into a new message, and email it back. I cannot reliably copy to the clipboard with JavaScript because of the security issues, but there are simple Flash apps to add that capability.
I know I could just display the response text (which will be Base64 encoded) to the recipient and have them copy/paste, but it would be nice to provide this small convenience to them. Also, so you are aware, the text is often too large to include in an email using mailto. Yes. This needs to be done via email. The users have slow, occasional satellite email access and no other data connection to the interwebs. To make things worse, I cannot make them install anything. It is a difficult situation.

So i have an external text file organized like this:
/* $file: data.txt */
&title0=Sacrum
&detail0=Detail text for Sacrum
&title1=L5
[Code].....
There are 28 of these 'title' and 'detail' pairs. The 'title' text is to fill a dynamic text box and the 'detail' to fill another dynamic text box depending on which section the user is mousing over.
My issue is getting the text from the file stored into arrays. For my test loop I keep getting undefined as the stored value, and i know it has something to do with converting a string value to object..
var lv:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
lv.onLoad = handleDataLoad;
lv.load('data.txt');
function handleDataLoad (success:Boolean) {

I've been searching around all afternoon, and am pulling my hair out. 1) I have a movieclip instance on stage (simple graphical element that represents platforms for a hero to run and jump along). I have placed it on the stage with an external class engine.as and in this class it is called myPlatform and is an object of Platforms.as. The movieClip is called platforms and from a trace(myPlatform.name) the instance name is instance3.
2) I am attempting to access the properties of myPlatform in an Enterframe event loop in my character control and collision class (called hero.as)
Basically here is the bit of code I am trying implement within Hero.as :
[Code]...
This all worked when I was writing actionscipt within the FLA file, on the timeline frame 1. I simply don't know how to access myPlatform from within the external Hero.as class! Do I need to create a variable? Is there a really easy way to do this with some syntax/command that I have not learned yet?

I just found the external preloader tutorial and it's Perfect, exactly what I needed! I just have one issue which I can't figure out.. It all works fine with other swf files such as the content.swf example it comes with, however when I try link it to a site I'm making (a fluid as3 layout) it states: "TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. at Website()" Here is the syntax - it's just the same as on the tut but trying to load 'website.swf'..

I'm having this frustrating error showing up and I have no idea why. Let me show you my classes and see if you can spot anything wrong.
First, here's my ILode interface:
ActionScript Code:
package com.schelterstudios.lodeSystem.flash.lodescode].....
So the problem I'm having is the compiler is throwing that 1000: Ambiguous reference error for any reference to instance.priority or instance.label. Why??? Instance is typed to IFlexLodeInstance, and IFlexLodeInstance lists method signatures of priority and label getters, and it inherits ILode, which lists method signatures for priority and label setters. What can I do to get the compiler to stop complaining?

It shows TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. at main() Isit because i must put something on the stage or timeline for it to load??

I am using in AS3 "External Interface ". When I call the JS function that is on the same page as swf everything works fine.
I added a link in the html page to an external JS file, when I move the JS function to the external JS file the website crushes.
I would prefer to have all my JS functions on an external file so I can use them in the future in other project and it also makes it easier for me to update the site.
how to call a JS function that is on an external file from AS3?

Structure: There is 1 main file that loads external SWF files depending on what is clicked on.One of the external SWF files loads its text from external text files. This works fine when viewing the SWF applet on its own. But when viewing as a whole site, the text doesnt appear. Very annoying.I made that particular SWF on my mums computer running Flash MX 2004The flash file itself uses the Scrollbar component from MX.Could someone tell me why the text doesnt load in this scenario? It runs fine on its own, just not as an external SWF.

[URL]I have: main.swf (a menu) and I have module.swf (content)If you navigate to Subsea Wellhead Systems/SS-15 BigBore II and click on that I have it load an external swf which covers most of the parent. So far so good. My problem is unloading the loaded 'Child' swf with the button provided on the loaded 'Child' swf.below is the code I used to load the file but I cant, for the life of me, find a way to unload it.
var bigboreLoader:Loader = new Loader();btnbb2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, bigborecontent);
function bigborecontent(event:MouseEvent):void{var bigboreRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("moduletemplate.swf"); bigboreLoader.load(bigboreRequest); stage.addChild(bigboreLoader);
I am certain it requires the Child to communicate with the parent somehow but I am at a loss. If I could get a bit of advice or a link to something deal with this, it would be a big help. I just need to have my links load my modules and the remove them when the close buttong is hit on the loaded swf. I promise I have done searches and I admit I have found asnwers but still they are not working. I found the code below:
Main FLA:
function removeF() {
removeChild(bigboreLoader);
}

I spent almost a week trying to figure out how to unload a currently loaded swf using its button and loading a new swf... I have three files, a main.fla, file1.fla and file2.fla. In my main.fla, I have a code which loads the other two files. If i will click the "unload" button in the file1.swf, I would like the main.fla to unload the file1.swf and load the other file, file2.swf. Here is the code to load the file1.swf:
