ActionScript 3.0 :: Child Accessing Parent Variables?

Sep 6, 2010

What's the strategy for getting a child to access variables in a parent.I have a Main class.In that class I create instances of a Unit class and save those to an array.In the Unit class, I want to access the x and y coordinates of other instances of the Unit class.So I'd like to access that array I made in the Main class.I tried:this.parent.theArray[i].xbut that doesn't work. I tried using the get command, but I don't really know how to, so my efforts failed.

AS3 :: Flash - Passing Variables From Parent To Child?

Oct 14, 2011

I'm trying to access some variables from my parent in my child MC.

Parent code:

var data_history:String;
function finish_checkUp(event:Event):void{
var checkUp_stat:String;

[Code]....

Now as you can see, i have tried the trace method, but with no luck. Flash doesn't report any errors regarding the trace method, but does report the two undefined vars (data_history). Ive tried to use the trace method above all the functions, at the top of the script, still the same errors though.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Accessing Variables Between A Parent And Child Swf

Feb 11, 2011

Wondering how to do this:

Parent swf has a class loaded, lets call it 'GlobalUtilities'. Parent swf loads in child swf. Child swf wants to use some of the 'GlobalUtilities' class that is in the parent.

How can I accomplish this? The problem I'm having right now is, when I export the child swf, I'll just error out since it can't find the reference (obviously, since it's not loaded into the parent yet).

ActionScript 3.0 :: Access Child.swf Function From Parent.swf?

Dec 22, 2008

I have to access a function in child swf from parent swf. This child swf gets loaded into a canvas object in parent.swf. Everything works fine but I'm unable to call any function that was in child.swf. My code is

Code:
var swf1:SWFLoader = new SWFLoader();
swf1.source = "CHILD.swf";
can.addchild(swf1);

I read on google and then I tried this in parent.swf's code

Code:
var myrequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("CHILD.swf");
var myloader:Loader = new Loader();
myloader.load(myrequest);
canvas.addchild(myloader);

Now this one throws up a runtime error TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert flash.display::Loader@5934b01 to mx.core.IUIComponent.

I also tried this

Code:
var myrequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("CHILD.swf");
var myloader:Loader = new Loader();
myloader.load(myrequest);

[Code]....

But in this case my swf does not show up at all and there are no runtime errors too!

How do I resolve this error and how do I then access the function in child.swf?

ActionScript 2.0 :: Passing Variables From Parent Flash Into Child?

Jul 26, 2010

how can I pass a variable from a parent flash file to a child flash file which it calls?We have a parent flash file which imports various child flash files based on instructions in an XML file. It's probably easier to see an example - opg2DOTcoDOTuk/flash/yay.html (replace the DOTs, couldn't post an url due to restrictions) - the text above each page, and the 'enlarge page' lightbox links are all in seperate flash files (one per double page) which are brought in, depending on the pages you are looking at, based on the instructions in an XML file which looks like this...

<page ani_swf="pages/text1.swf">pages/white.jpg</page>
<page ani_swf="pages/text1.swf">pages/0001.jpg</page>
<page ani_swf="pages/text2.swf">pages/0002.jpg</page>
<page ani_swf="pages/text2.swf">pages/0003.jpg</page>

etc, where the swf is the header flash file containing the text and one or two lightbox links, and the jpg files are the page images that appear.We had to repeat the imported child flash file because of a glitch when you go backwards through the book otherwise.

This system has been fine for us up until now but recently we've had to look at making it a dynamic system, so the content of the book can be varied depending on a variable being passed into the parent file via FlashVars...

<param name="FlashVars" value="zone=1" />
<embed src="newbook3.swf" FlashVars="zone=1" ....etc

This makes the book load an xml file called "1"). This is fine, except we also need to vary the 'enlarge page' target images to match.The 'enlarge page' links are currently hard coded into each child flash file, like this...

on (release){
getURL("javascript:SWFDelegate('imagename.jpg','Ex ample');");
}

- What we've tried so far:

1. Trying to pass the variables in querystrings from the XML
eg.

<page ani_swf="pages/text2.swf?var1=image1&var2=image2">pages/0002.jpg</page>
<page ani_swf="pages/text2.swf?var1=image1&var2=image2">pages/0003.jpg</page>

with the child flash setting it's action like this...

on (release){
var image1 = var1 + ".jpg"
getURL("javascript:SWFDelegate(image1,'Example');" );
}

I'm not sure if the syntax here is correct. We have to add the ".jpg" in here because, as far as I understand it, you can't pass "." in a querystring.

2. Passing the variables for the child into the parent

I read somewhere that variables passed to a parent are automatically available to a child. Not sure if this is true, but it didn't work for me when I tried it like...

<param name="FlashVars" value="zone=1?var1=image1&var2=image2" />
<embed src="newbook3.swf" FlashVars="zone=1?var1=image1&var2=image2" ....etc

Combined with...

on (release){
var image1 = var1 + ".jpg"
getURL("javascript:SWFDelegate(image1,'Example');" );
}

...in the child button action.

Actionscript 3.0 :: Referring To Variables In Parent MC In Multiple Child MC's?

Nov 7, 2010

I have several .as files. The first that loads is Main.as;

package
{
import flash.display.MovieClip;
public class Main extends MovieClip
{

[code]....

So this MC gives the user the ability to type in their name and store it into the parents playerName variable. With the intention that I can refer to it at any point later in any other MC. It stores it okay, a trace proves that, but a problem comes when this movieclip is replaced by the new one ZoneSelector;

package
{
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;

[code]....

As you can see, there's hardly anything in the this .as file. But everytime the trace(MovieClip(parent).playerName) tries to run I get the following error;

TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
at ZoneSelector()
at Setup/onbeginGameButtonClick()

It's as if the ZoneSelector runs its entire script before the playerName is set..or something like that.

When I rotate it, of course, the height of its parent, SpriteP, GROWS. But I would expect that height to go back to what it should be when I'm removing Sprite2!And it does! If I remove Sprite2 while NOT being rotated, the height of the parent drops back to normal, 200.

When Sprite2 is NOT rotated:

When Sprite2 is rotated at 90:

And it does! If I remove Sprite2 while NOT being rotated, the height of the parent drops back to normal, 200. But if I rotate Sprite2, the Parent won't update its bounds.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Access Child Text Field Through Parent Movie Clip's Class?

May 16, 2010

I have one movieclip object with a custom class.

That class has a loop that creates / instantiates a number of copies of another movieclip from the library. This second movieclip has a textfield child in it. When I convert this textfield to a movieclip I can access the properties of it fine, but just as a dynamic textbox I can't access it.

This is the custom class of the second movieclip that gets instatiated a few times by the first custom class...

This custom class relates to a movieclip that has a child MC called recent_text (which I can access ok) and in that child is another child (a dynamic text field called "aDynamicTextBox", which I can't access)[code]...
