ActionScript 2.0 :: Accessing Function Located In The Loading Movie?
Aug 19, 2007
I have a function to resize my stage which is located in the main movie. There is another movie which is loaded into the main movie and I want the loading movie to call the resize function which is located into the main movie. In short how can I access functions which are located on the main loading movie.
I have treid _level0.resize(); // Doesn't work
_level.parent.resize(); // Doesn't work
But at the same time there is a text field which I can easily update throught the loaded movie by
_level.my_text.text = "Anything"; // Does work

This is not web-based. It is a projector file running locally off my my hard drive and connecting to files on another server on my network.
I'm trying to link to this file through the following code:
loader.load(new URLRequest((path == null) ?
"file:///10.10.100.255/my_file.xml" : path));
(obviously that IP is not real)
but it can't see it. However, it works fine connecting locally.
Does URLRequest not work for finding files on another server?

is there a way to keep a movie being loaded externally from playing while it's loading?
here is the scenario:
i have an external SWF being loaded
var ldr:Loader = new Loader();var url:String="movie.swf";var urlReq:URLRequest=new URLRequest(url);
ldr.load(urlReq);
addChildAt(ldr,0);
it is a rather large SWF and i don't want it to start playing before the whole thing has loaded and i don't want to hardcode a stop() function into the externally loading SWF (i'd like to do it in the clip it is loaded into).
i tried:
ldr.content.stop
ldr.content.stop()
ldr.contentLoaderInfo.content.stop()
nothing seems to work

Flash CS5 gives me an error message 1137 saying that it was expecting only 1 argument in the code line --> Fill(square_commands, square_coord);I need to pass the arguments square_commands and square_coord into the function in the second AS3 file?

I'm not sure that I'm on the right track here. I've got what is essentially a 'gateway' movieclip and depending on the CLICK a corresponding movieclip (form) is loaded -- these all being in their own AS file. There are multiple corresponding pages that will all load/close in their own fashion but the 'gateway' will reload in it's own function-- consequently, I have this function on the main_AS. Can I trigger this function from the sub class or do I need to move the 'reload' function to a 'reload' class.

I am trying to access a function in a loaded swf that has external class.. I would like to avoid having to put the function on my "Main" Doc class in the external swf and instead access the function directly from the class
This is what ive tried so far and it's a no dice:
private function startLoad(){
var loader:Loader = new Loader();
var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest("one.swf");

Is it possible to set a listener or something like it to run a function once the flash movie itself has finished loading?So something like:When this flash movie has finished loading, activate function.Btw. I'm not trying to do this with a swf file loaded into another flash movie. I need this to be done by the movie once it self has finished loading.

I need to access the contents of a variable that is filled inside a function, but is declared outside the function.. [URL] says that if you declare the variable outside of the function the variable should be accessible even when its content is filled by a function. I have declared the imgs variable at the start, outside the function, as an array. After that the function retrieves a string from the URLLoader and splits that string into to the imgs array/variable.

OK, it's probably easiest now to explain my problem like this, I am able to write the name of my xml file that needs to be loaded to a dynamic textfield on the stage, however, I don't seem to be able to access it after this and strip the necessary data from it, here's my code:
var tf:TextField = new TextField();
tf.autoSize=TextFieldAutoSize.LEFT;
tf.border=true;
addChild(tf);
[Code]...
So all I want to do now is to be able to achieve the same thing but loading the xml with loadvars as I did before, from my traces it seems there is a scope issue, but I'm not sure why if "c1" can be referenced like it is above..?

The only problem is it can't "see" myGlobals. I was wondering if someone could tell me why it can't see it! I'm sure it has something to do with scope.

I have been playing around with combining flash and PHP/Mysql for some time now, mainly sending one flash variable to a PHP file and then retrieving a result and turning it back into a different flash variable. My problem is i've got to the stage where I need to access these variables from other functions. Now I think I need to find some way of defining them outside of the function, maybe using global vars? Well i'm not gonna pretend I know anything about it. The two functions from which I access my PHP variables is as follows:
ActionScript Code:
function btnDown(event:MouseEvent):void {
var variables:URLVariables = new URLVariables();
var varSend:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://localhost/test.php");
[Code]....
So I need a way to access the phpVar1 variable in a totally seperate function

im attempting to keep it as portable as possible so its easier to edit later, and i dont have to go around copying/pasting too much code. - i'll cut to the chase..
On my main timeline, i load all the image-file names, as variables.. using loadvars into thumbnails, which ive given instancenames Loader_1 to Loader_20, inside these thumbnails is the Loader component Thumb_1. Here is the code on the main timeline, to load these variables.
Code:
BigLoader._visible = false;
var my_lv:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
// load variable function
[Code]....
how i could make this more portable without -completely- changing the format its in [so i can still understand it]

ActionScript Code:
function createMaskBox():void {
var maskBox:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
galleryContainer.addChild(maskBox);
}
creates maskBox under the function therefore not accessible form outside of this function from what i understand. Is there a way to create a var WITHIN a function which would exist as if defined outside of it, directly in code?
