ActionScript 1/2 :: Prevent Clicks On External Swf From Affecting Parent Swf?
Jun 12, 2011
I'm using the loadMovie command to load an external swf (a brief tutorial) into the parent swf. The parent swf is an interactive exercise with several answer buttons. The user can click a button to open and close the turorial on top of the exercise.k the answer buttons in the parent swf below and hear the correct and incorrect sound cues. When they close the tutorial, they see that answers have been given and there's a score when they didn't intentionally give any answers.

If I change some value for a parent sprite, the same value will affect all of its children. So if I set alpha or width on the parent, the child will automaticly get the same value.

I have my player who moves to where ever I click on the stage.How to I prevent the player from moving to areas that I don't want him to?
Example:How do I define that if the player clicks on the tree to NOT move to it.I know I could attach listeners to different movieclips but it would get out of control pretty fast. Is there a better way? Perhaps something to do with layering? If I apply a listener to the map object for example will anything on top of the map block the listener?

Sometimes it's necessary in a Flash project to prevent the user from being able to click on a button at certain times during the presentation. I'll typically add an "invisible" button on top of the button (no graphics in the button except for the hit zone), which does the trick nicely BUT...The cursor, of course, turns into a hand icon, making the user think it's still a clickable button.Is there a way to prevent the cursor from changing from an arrow into a hand icon?Or, is there a better way to make buttons "unclickable" at times?

I want to load an external swf movie into the parent one using for example the UILoader component and I want it to have access only to one object of the parent (the main swf movie). I tried sth like my_uiloader.content.parent = null, but obviously it doesn't work as the parent property is read-only.

I have a canvas onto which I draw shapes like rectangle etc. When I move the shape using my custom mouse down/mouse move handler, the shape can go outside the parent bounds.
I am checking if the child is outside the parent's bound to snap it back:
var bounds:Rectangle = this.getBounds(this.parent);
var p:Point;
if (bounds.x <0) {
[Code]...
The snapInside method gets called when I go outside the left or top boundary. But when the child is dragged outside the right or bottom boundary, I find Flex/Flash runtime automatically expands the parent's height and width. So say the parent size was initially 800x600, if child Y bounds exceed 800 by say 20 pixel, I find the this.parent.height automatically resized by flex to 820!!
How do I prevent the parent from resizing when child goes outside the original bounds of the parent ?

I have an AS3 movieclip with a button. Both the movieclip and button needs a click event but when I click the button it also fires the parent movieclip's event handler.

I have a rectangular movieClip named 'container'. In this movieclip, a function generates some number of squares.My problem is that; for example, if I generate 12x12 squares with each width/height of 40; it resizes the container to width/height of 480. If I set the width and the height of the container movieClip to a lower value; then the squares become smaller.I have been struggling for some time on this problem. I tried setting the ScaleMode of container and squares to various values but it did not work.How can I overcome this illogical (for me at least) problem? How can I prevent children from resizing their parent OR how can i prevent parent downsizing the children?

I would like to know the way to prevent a child swf from referencing its parent swf stage width/height?
for example, i created a child swf that loads image and center it on it's stage. As a stand alone its fine but i loaded it with parent swf, it centers on the parent swf instead.

I have a parent swf which loads many child swfs (though only one is displayed at a time). My intention was to use the loaded SWFs document class to retrieve an array of objects to be assigned a tab index, combine this with the parent's own array of objects and apply sequential tab indices to them all. But what happens is actually that the parent's objects are assigned an index, but the external swf is unaffected. In fact, the external swf retains its automatic tab indexing, when I would expect that having set a value for InteractiveObject.tabIndex, automatic tab indexing would be disabled.
I've seen similar tales elsewhere. Most posts I've read are wanting to load an external swf, give it focus and loop through those objects, then close the swf and return to looping through the parent. However I would like loop through all objects as one. including manipulating the focus manager(s), and basically fiddling with every tab-related property I know.

I have a first SWF, the interface, which loads external SWFs, the pages, throughattachMovie. The pages themselves contain clickable buttons. What I am trying to do is enable and disable the buttons on the pages, without altering the code of the pages. I can only change the contents of the interface.I have tried using a blocker, a movieclip with :
onrelease = function() {};
onpress = function() {};
useHandCursor = false;

I have to make a presentation which consists of a main.swf that loads 5 external swfs. You pass from one swf to another by doing click. The external swfs (2 of them) have a tween in which you do click to load some shapes.How do I stop the click in the main swf and activate the click in the external swf and then return to the main.In the function "myClick" there is a condition which when it gets to the 3.swf (num==2), it stops the clicks in the main.swf bystage.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, myClick). It works, but I don't know how to return the clicks to the main.swf after the last click in 3.swf.
here is my code(main.fla):
import flash.events.KeyboardEvent;
import flash.ui.Keyboard;

I've made a flex 3 app that is sitting on my web server. People will be able to link to this flex app on my web server on their own sites/blogs/forums and so on. Is there any way I can log where a user that clicks on it comes from? Example: the URL to the flex app is [URL] User A links the flex app at his blog at [URL] Then User B comes in to User A's blog and clicks the flex app and finally ends up at my site. Any way I can log User B's click through the flex app?

I'm building a project that has a character navigate through a room by clicking on the floor. Right now, the walls, character, and floor are all children of the same display object for sorting purposes. My question: is there a way to disable mouse clicks to the walls and character while allowing clicks to the floor? Using mouseChildren appears to be an all or nothing deal and I can't seem to isolate individual floor/wall/character objects for use with mouseEnabled.

I am working on a few websites at the moment, one of the being my online portfolio, as well as my website for a sleep product I am trying to sell. I have very little experience with AS3, last time I created a website AS2 was used. I've tried a few online tutorials, but nothing gets the job done, there is always some error..I have a index.swf which loads the default home.swf.There is also an about.swf, contact.swf, order.swf, and All I need is for the external swf to pull up when the corresponding button is clicked, and when the next button is clicked, for the current swf to unload and the new swf to load. This was so simple with AS2, one would think things might be as simple if not easier.

I can think of to prevent my external images from being compressed. I have a few png files being pulled into flash via XML and AS3. For some reason the images that are being pulled in are being compressed and look terrible. What can i do to prevent them from being compressed so much. They are pulled in via an empty movieclip.URL...Here is the AS that is being used to pull the images in and the XML information.[code]

I'm writing a flex application that polls an xml file on the server to check for updated data every few seconds, and I'm having trouble preventing it from caching the data and failing to respond to it being updated.
I've attempted to set headers using the IIS control panel to use the following, without any luck:
CacheControl: no-cache
Pragma: no-cache
I've also attempted adding a random HTTP GET parameter to the end of the request URL, but that seems like it's stripped off by the HttpService class before the request is made. Here's the code to implement it:
http.url = "test.xml?time=" + new Date().getMilliseconds();
And here's the debug log that makes me think it failed:
(mx.messaging.messages::HTTPRequestMessage)#0
body = (Object)#1
clientId = (null)

I load external .swf files by code
ldr[nr][1][j2] = new Loader();
ldr[nr][1][j2].load(urlReq);
and about 3 seconds (by extra Timer script) after they're completely loaded are added to stage with
obj[nr][1][j2].addChild(ldr[nr][1][j2])
It all works properly, no problems at all. But by the time the .swf files are added as children to stage they've already animated 3 seconds of their own timeline so appear to "not start from the beginning of the animation".Any way I can prevent that in a simple way? (without requiring access / editing / recreating the loaded .swf or its .fla files)

Im creating a flash projector which has a holder swf with an empty movieclip. A series of external SWFs are loaded into the empty movieclip on the push of a button. Once the clip has been loaded, other external SWFs can be replaced in the empty movieclip at the push of a button. As memory leaks and garbage collection seem to be an issue, I was wondering the most memory efficient way of loading, unloading and replacing these external swfs so that memory leaks are kept to an absolute minimum.

I have a MovieClip object, which is exported for actionscript (AS3) in an .swc file.When I place an instance of the clip on the stage without any modifications, it appears in the upper left corner, about half off stage (i.e. only the lower right quadrant of the object is visible). I understand that this is because the clip has a registration point which is not the upper left corner.If you call getBounds() on the movieclip you can get the bounds of the clip (presumably from the "point" that it's aligned on) which looks something like (left: -303, top: -100, right: 303, bottom: 100), you can subtract the left and top values from the clip x and y:[code]matrix has a tx value of 748 (half of stage height) ty value of 426 (Half of stage height)concatenatedMatrix has a tx value of 1699.5 and ty value of 967.75That's also obviously where the movieclip is getting positioned, but why? Where is this additional translation coming from?

[code]All clips are squared.Ok, on the PlayerPlane, there are little soldiers, which have hotkeys. The effect I'm trying to create is I want to position the GameStage so that the currently selected soldier appears in the center of the GameClicker clip.The GameStage is movable by the player (to scan other areas of the map)by holding the CTRL key, so it's easy to kinda lose track of where your players are.I have tried using localTo Global and globalToLocal techniques, but I think I'm lost on the actual math of getting the GameStage to move the correct distance so that the selected soldier is centered to the GameClicker.[code]

i need to know why my loaded swf ended up having wrong parent, i mean i load multiples external swf and then add it into a main swf which have one mainContainer( an instance of sprite class) to hold background image and it also hold several SWFcontainer which will hold the loaded swf.what went wrong is that the the loaded swf parent is the mainContainer (or if do not use the mainContainer it wil become the child of the stage).
here is the code i used:
import flash.display.*;var myXML:XML;var SWFList:XMLList;var xmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();var totalSWF:int;var mainContainer:Sprite;var myCounter:Number = 0;var
