I am trying to load external swf's into my main swf through nested movieclips.Its like this: STAGE > contents_mc > loader_mc Also most of the code is from tutorial's out on the net.Content_mc I have the following MC's in content_mc (on 2 separate layers, if you want to know):
- Preloader_text (PText)
- loader_mc (LoaderExt)
[code]...
Problem: I am having a problem in calling the function ClipLoader and loading a clip through the loader_mc MovieClip (the text in Purple). The reason I am using this is eventually I will put in code in contents_mc to load various external swf per conditions i give.
Calling jQuery Function from Flash
if we have a jQuery plugin of the following style[code]...
Could anyone point me in the right direction for how this call can be made directly or clarify if it's just not a supported operation?
I have a main time line and a button defined. Can I define functions in actionscript anywhere and call them from anywhere? For example, if I call a function in main timeline and it's defined in the button, does that work?
View 3 RepliesI am using flex builder 3.2, Action Script 3 and develop for Flash Player 10 and am quite new to it. when I call a method of a self defined class, I get the 1061 error (not defined). But the class and the method exist and are public, so what the hell am I doing wrong? Flash Builder is even offering me this method in the auto-completion, so at least the builder knows it... I have already tried cleaning the project (as this is the common source of strange errors when working with java/eclipse),
edit: solved... The problem was that a package had the same name as the variable I used for the class. Very strange error message, thumbs down for this .
Why I am losing scope on an array that i define as a private member in a class? I am able to access it from a couple of different functions but in one place inparticular it keeps coming up "undefined". What causes scope to be lost in a function for an array that is defined as a private class member?
View 4 Replieshow do you call to a function when the user closes your swf?
View 2 RepliesIs it possible to have a movieclip in FlashCS4 that can be scaled by the user once the file has been posted on the web? Scaled by dragging the corner of a loader or something?
View 1 RepliesI don't understand why within my function, initially the status of stage.scaleMode via a trace() is NO_SCALE, then it becomes SHOW_ALL. The code below is found at three different location in my overall code.
stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE; backgroundPositioning(myStage.stageWidth, myStage.stageHeight); stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.SHOW_ALL;
wrote the code for motion straight into the action panel of the bubble symbol and simply duplicated the symbol alot to add more bubbles. What I wanted to do is change all that code into global functions that can simply be called by each movie clip thereby cleaning it up alot and making it more modifyable. The problem is that I can't figure out how to write and call the functions properly. Here is what I have:
Layers:
Actions: where the functions are defined
Bubble: contains symbols (clip calling the functions)

I'm creating a product page for a client. The flash portion of it is generated dynamically using an xml document. The issue I'm having is with the features portion of the programming. During the generation of each page a list of features is brought in. Those features all have an associated hotspot that is displayed on the product image. What's supposed to happen is when someone rolls over the feature list item, the list item is highlighted, a description box is displayed and the hotspot glows. Vice versa, when someone rolls over the hotspot the hotspot glows, the list item is highlighted and a description box is displayed.
My issue comes with the communication between the two. Here's what I'm doing so far:XmlLoader is a class I created to deal with getting the nodes. getXMLNode takes two parameters - the parent node and the name of the node we're looking for)
Code:
var featureNumber:Number = 1;
for( var feature:XMLNode = featuresNode.firstChild; feature != null; feature =

I am looking for a way to sort numbers enterred by a user, prefferably in order smallest to largest or vice verser - but at very least to find the smallest & largest numbers of the ones enterred.There are approximately going to be 15 numbers or so.
So for example:
Enterred A = 56
Enterred B = 7
[code]...
when sorted or the other way round (largest to smallest).this could be done with comparrisons but for 15 numbers it would be A LOT of comparisons.
How can I have the user define a global variable via an input/ dynamic box?
View 1 RepliesI tried stage.width, but it doesn't work because in my flash I have graphics that goes out of document bounds and stage.width calculate it with them.I need a method that only restrict the user defined document width/height.
View 2 RepliesI have a situation where, upon loading my swf, I add an event listener to the stage to listen for keyboard commands. One of them is to listen for the spacebar, and if it is pressed, it should play a movie. The problem is, that movie is not loaded until later on, depending other user interactions, therefore, until it is loaded, the reference to it would be undefined.
But if I wait and add the listener for key commands only when the movie is loaded, then I can't utilize the listener for other keyboard commands, like RIGHT or LEFT, which are the buttons which get you to the movie in the first place. Is there a way to add a conditional or something to prevent that code from being executed if the video is not defined yet? Here's my code:

I add this actionscript code on the first frame. Variables are loaded but. The question is below the code.

Here is the script:

function delay(pFunc:Function):Void {
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
pFunc(param);[code]....
It's stripped down to reproduce my issue.I want to change the scope of the event, so that when test is called, it traces "_level0 instead of "[object Object". I was thinking Delegate.create() would be the way to go, but I can't figure out how to get that to work within the scope of this function.
I'm having a problem calling a function from a different level.I have my main movie 'Mymovie.swf' in which I add a level(with loadMovie) with this code:
loadMovie("MyNewMovie.swf", "_level1");
On a button in MyNewMovie.swf, I try to call a function in 'Mymovie.swf', by doing:
on(release){
_root.MyFunction();
// or even: _level0.MyFunction();
}
I have a Debug class I've written, and I'd like to include a static trace() method in there, unfortunately I have no idea how to then access global / top level trace as effectively I've blocked it with the local static scope.[code]
View 4 RepliesI have the standard dragWindow function in an app I am building:
private function dragWindow(evt:MouseEvent):void

I want to limit the "scope" of this function such that it is not enabled within specified components, e.g. datagrids, scrollable lists, etc.

Specifies the value of thisObject to be used within any function that ActionScript calls. This method also specifies the parameters to be passed to any called function. Because apply() is a method of the Function class, it is also a method of every Function object in ActionScript. i don't get how "thisObject" is accessible from within the function invoked with it's apply method i'm trying to pass the scope of one class to the function of another so that the keyword "this" in the target function refers to the passed scope or am i misunderstanding the apply() method? it appears to behave differently between as2.0 and as3.0 as well, try this example code from the adobe docs

I'm having some big issues with the scoping problems in my XMLConnect Class. I already found some things about the Delegate class online for setting the scope correctly, but my code still doesn't work the way it should Problem I need the XML data to be accesible in the public function Strip() because the user needs to put in some characters to strip from the strings in the xml file. Does someone known how to fix this scoping problems?

Now what i want to do is,
1. create some templates in Flash CS3 <!--i want to learn -->
2. use actionscript 2.0 for coding
3. read nodes from xml <!-- i know how to do this -->
a. read the template type of the screen <!-- i know how to do this -->
b. for a particular screen on flash, load the template (made in 1) onto stage <!--i want to learn -->
c. read data from xml file <!-- i know how to do this -->
d. load the data onto template in flash. <!--i want to learn -->
I want to do this because i think re-using will make my application size smaller.
Can I do this?
I am trying to add an init() function to a MovieClip, but when I run the function from scene1 the variables that were set in the MovieClip are not defined yet... The MovieClip was dragged to the stage from the library.scene1:

var _default = 5;

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
i've got this mc component i've created and reuse on some sites i've made. It's a real simple shoutbox that grabs info from a database using a php script.What i'd like to do is have this component refresh every 200 frames, which means, grab most current msgs and post them in the database.so for example, i have a movieclip called MC1. there's a function in MC1 that goes like: grabdata = function() {}; this basically calls the php scripts, loads the info, and so on.i wanna call this function from the root or even a parent MC.I have considered using prototypes or a class, but i dont think it's really necessary for something that seems basic enough.
