I have a movie clip embedded in a scroll pane on level 2 of a multi-.swf project. I am trying to target the root movie to load another .swf (a video player window) from buttons inside the embedded MC. the buttons work on the external .swf but not when loaded onto the main timeline.i have tried on the button itself:
on (release) {
_root._root.loadMovieNum ("vidPlayer.swf", 4);

View 2 RepliesI have a swf called anim1.swf acting as a preloder and loading anim2.swf. anim1.swf is attached to a document class called Racine.as. Once anim2.swf is loaded, how can I target the root of anim2.swf?
For example, anim2.swf contains 2 clips called clip1 and clip2. clip1 contains a child called clip1_1. How can I access clip2 from within clip1_1 by using an absolute way (I don't want to use the parent property)?
N.B : a way would be to have a document class attached to anim2.swf, but here there is none.
I want to find out the value of an index of an Array defined on the main timeline, from within a MC on the stage. In AS2.0 this would be as simple as trace(_root.mk_contArray[0]). In AS3.0, naturally something like trace(root.mk_contArray[0]) just doesn't work, nor any other variation I've tried. Is it something to do with addChild()? This instance is named, but I haven't used that method.
View 3 Repliesdynamically loaded swf files that employ .root syntax. I'm loading in several older swf files into a master swf. The master has a previewer that lets the user preview the library of swf files. Some of these older swf files have buttons in them that use .root, and I don't want the .root to effect the master swf, but the loaded one.
View 5 RepliesI have some submenu buttons in a movieclip on the mainline. My first level of navigation in on main timeline. The submenus are grouped in movieclips on the main timeline. I basically used the same code on the main navigation for the sub navigation except the code for the submenus is in that movie clip. My trace statement reads the button is clicked (which was a quantum leap for me) but I know I need some kind of _parent code in there so it knows to go to label back on main timeline.[code]...
View 3 RepliesI have a movie embedded and I am passing a variable to the root movie for it to play when the embedded movie is complete. I know the variable is getting passed because I am displaying the value in as dynamic text but the parent movie will not play. This is what I have:
stop();
row = 0;
if (row == 1) {
this.gotoAndPlay(2);
}
Row is being passed from the embedded movie as
_root.row = 1;
I know there is a way to tell the parent movie to play from the embedded movie by using TellTarget but I would like to find out why this doesn't work.
Situation:
- We have a Flash application located on a SAP EP (let's say ep.x.com)
- We have a SAP ABAP Application (Webservices) on a SAP WebAS
server (abap.x.com)
- Clarification: This is not about Flash islands / but a normal Flash application communicating with WebAS ABAP via WebServices
Problem: Due to the changed security policy in Flash 10 this scenario does no longer work.
- A crossdomain policy file on root level cannot be deployed on root level
- The WebServices http/s headers cannot be modified, since the WebServices are generated by the WebAS IDE.
Comment: Technically there is a way to patch a WebAS ABAP,but this is not a practical / acceptable way in a normal SAP WebAS infrastructure.
Conclusion:- The above scenario (Flash from EP content / WebAS ABAP as backend) is a quite normal scenario in the SAP world.
- SAP / Adobe always features the close relationship between their technologies.
Question:- What could we do?
- How does the Visual Composer works around that problem?
I have a root stage, and a MC that is called from the root stage.Now from that MC, i will called in another MC2, and I wanted to placed the MC in the center of the stage. The reason I could not use normal ADDED_TO_STAGE at MC and define the center is because MC is not place in the exact position of the root stage (as in x, y=0). So if I would target MC2 at MC stage center, it would not be the exact center of the root stage/screen.How can I called the root stage properties rather than adding MC2 into the stage?

qi have a movieclip which is added to the stage:
var profileholder:profileHolder=new profileHolder ;
inside of profileholder is another movieclip(infoBtn) that acts as a button.when the mouse is over profileholder i want to do something with infoBtn like:
//profOver is the over state of profileholder
function profOver(e:Event) {
e.target.infoBtn.alpha=1;
}
this doesn't work and brings up this error:ReferenceError: Error #1069: Property infoBtn not found on flash.display.Loader and there is no default value.
at main_fla::MainTimeline/profOver()
i also tried:
function profOver(e:Event) {
var item:profileHolder=e.target as profileHolder;
item.infoBtn.alpha=1;
}
and get this error:TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
i don't know why this isn't working.i got a button. and when it's pressed, i need it to go and play a frame in a movie clip. i'll test it and then when i click on it, i get this:
Target not found: Target="whoweare" Base="_level0.instance20.instance48.instance49"
this is the code that i am using:
on (press) {
tellTarget ("whoweare") {
gotoAndPlay (51);
}
}
so, i'm making an animated rollover, and i get an output error that says this:
Target not found: Target="_root.icon01" Base="_level0"
i have no idea what the base="_level0" means.
I have an embedded font in my AIR/AS3 app that lacks support for most internationalcharacters. Using TextField and StyleSheet with the font-family property, I assumed I would simply need to do this:font-family: Interstate-Regular, _sans;This works if TextField.embedFonts = false; but then Interstate-Regular isn't embedded for users that don't have it on their system. With TextField.embedFonts = true; the text doesn't even show up. Is there a way to embed Interstate-Regular and still use _sans as a fallback system font without embedding it as well?
View 1 RepliesI'm looking for a embedded language that can be used to script common code between a server app written in C# and a client app written in Flash/Actionscript. It is important that the embedded language interpreter run natively in the environment it is embedded into. For example, it cannot load any external C libraries (i.e. python, neko).
Does such a thing exist for these two languages? Perhaps there is some minimal interpreter that could be easily ported to both?

Okay, I did a search on stage and got a lot of forum threads going in different directions about static and global variables. _root to my understanding no longer means the main timeline, it's the root of...what? and how does this relate to the stage? Is the stage there or does that need and addChild() as well? Like, overall I guess my main question is, "What is the proper way of incorporating stage and root in document class structure?" I built my entire site using the structure, but I learned halfway through that I had to use addChild() to make it a display object. I'm trying to get this down so next time I get it right.
