I'm tackling a common situation with heavily nested MovieClips; wanting to be able to signal from a parent MovieClip when all children (and children's children, etc...) are done loading before utilizing the clip.
I'm doing some trickery by having a parent inspect it's children and storing off the onLoad() to a temporary then dynamically adding it's own onLoad() which:

I have a flash file that is published as an air app, I need to ad this js injection code in my as3 somehow, but I don't even know if its possible.
JS Inject can be seen at:
www~DOT~rlifetv~DOT~com/radio/andradio-static-ads~DOT~html
(replace ~DOT~ for a .) which is the only content in the body at all.
If this can't be done directly what about loading in the html code from a page, to have this render? As you can see its just an add rotator that my friend has from some software he bought that allows him to track and other things I guess. Its only going to display images or swf's, and no text at all.The code gets dished out through 4 types of code bases.
1- JS Inject (listed above).
2- AJAX, which is the same as above, or almost the same.
3- PHP Remote Read Code
4- PHP Insert Code
Why doesn't this work?
Code:
staticGraphic_mc._visible = false;
contents_mc.loadMovie("main.swf");
main_btn.onRelease = function() {[code]....

I've seen some discussion on how to load a child swf using swfLoader and accessing it's variables but I am wondering if it is possible to do this without adding any code to the child swf.Either accessing public vars or listening for funciton calls would work fine

Is it possible to trace every single method call in flex/actionscript by injecting logging statements some way? Like how it's possible in C# using PostSharp.
View 1 RepliesI think I'm still trying to understand Dependency Injection and the role of the DI container. If DI means a lower level component depends on a higher level one, and there's no circular reference, won't that object get garbage collected? As I see garbage collection (mark-and-sweep), it keeps only the objects that can be traced with a chain of references starting from the program root.
Since I'm having difficulty explaining myself, here are two UML diagrams, which present conflicting views of Dependency Injection, as I see it: My original interpretation of DI
The DI Container injects components with their required references, and they each store a reference to their next-highest-in-command. The Main class has no way of reaching them, so they should be garbage collected. My reconsideration of DI The DI Container injects components with their required references and also maintains a reference to each of them. They each store a reference to their next-highest-in-command. The Main class can reach any of them via the DI Container, so they shouldn't be garbage collected.
i have a question while reading Flex 4 Cookbook i came across the method to dynamically adding control to the container controls but nowhere i came across with how to provide them with the dynamic properties and events like they have created a button dynamically inside a group control but what good a button be if i cannot give it an event dynamically. in the same way i want to add a tree view inside a vbox but what good that be if cannot provide a data provider to it dynamically.actually i am creating an web application where i add the tree view to a vbox and i want to the data provider should also be dynamic depending upon the option i have selected in the combo box.
View 1 RepliesI am writting an image gallery that loads one intial xml file named galleries.xml.From this point each xml node loads a XMl file for that gallery that holds all the images.The problem arises in the fact that to do this I need a onload function within an onload function.Onload functions dont accept parameters so I can pass down the variable that shows what loop the gallery loop is on as I need that in the function that holds the images.

I got a Parent SWF which loads another (Child) SWF. It also has a rather large SWC in it. What I want to do is use Classes from that SWC (the one code-embedded in the Parent SWF) in the Child SWF, after it has been loaded by the Parent SWF.
I know that I can externally-link a SWC and then load it in the same ApplicationDomain. But this is not how I want to do it. I want the SWC code-embedded (statically loaded) in the big, Parent SWF and usable in the loaded Child SWF.
I have an older program that I need to update. In it I there is a movieclip that displays text. Embedded in that movieclip is a timer that makes the text disappear after a few seconds. Everything worked fine before when I was using flash to put the clips on the stage. Now I need export the symbols and use addChild to display them. My problem is that the timer is starting when I assign the clip to the variable (frame 1), not when I need it to; which is after I add the child (frame 70-ish). If I were starting over there is probably a million simple solutions to this, but I am trying to not rework everything I already made to fix this seemlingly small problem.
View 4 RepliesHow can I test if my AS3 code is executing from root or from a child mc that has been imported into a larger project via the loader class? Details:I've got a tutorial that is published both as a standalone projector (exe) and as an swf imported at runtime into a larger project. If the tutorial is running by itself as a standalone projector it needs to execute a few fscommands and perform some other housekeeping chores. If the tutorial is running as a child of the larger project these chores must be skipped. I canâ't test Capabilities.playerType because the parent can also run as a standalone projector. It's simple, but here's what I had before I realized the parent might also be standalone:

I have a movie, which on the click of a button will load a child swf.
The child swf has code which adds events to the stage object.
the child also accesses properties such as stage.stageWidth
When the child is ran on it's own all is fine, though when it loads within the parent movie i receive the error:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.at Home()
"Home()" is the name of the document class in the child SWF.
a) access the stage from a child swf
b) add events to the stage from a child swf
I frequently get the term "Dependency Injection" in a AS3 book i am reading. However, it's has not explained what exactly it is. May anyone pls exhibit what exactly it is using some lines of AS3.0 code ?

I've been following an xml tutorial webdesign tutorial, as I'm pretty new to the whole coding side of things, I've copied their code into my own design, which has been going fine up until this point.In the tutorials the dynamic menus were alligned vertically, in my site I want them to run horizontally, well I managed to suss out how to realign them, the problem is that the spacing between each button is set according to the end of each (invisible) button.I'm wondering if theres a line of code I can insert, which defines the size of each button according to the size of the text, or alternately, that starts the spacing from the end of the text rather than the button.[code]
