Is there any way to do synchronous movie to movie communication (from a loaded movie to a loader in different domains).I need that parent does not trust child but child can trust parent if needed. I can do this in AS3 with sharedEvents, but I haven't found a way to do so in AS2. Has anyone found a way to do this

I'm currently making an animation which will eventually exceed the 16,000 frame limit (don't ask haha), so, short of making two movies and having to just start up the next one, what is the code for loading a movie? I presume they need to be in the same directory? So basically all I want is on the last frame of the movie the code executes and the second movie file opens up and starts. I guess I'd want the current movie to close, too.
View 1 RepliesI Have 3 Movies:MAIN.SWF, contains loading movie actions for Nav.swf and Home.swf.NAV.SWF, contains navagation menu loaded on Level 2 in Main HOME.SWF, contains slideshow for home page loaded on Level 1 in Main In NAV.SWF, there is a MOVIE CLIP "graphmc", which contains a BUTTON "graphicbtn", When this button is clicked, I'd like the HOME.SWF (which is loaded into Main.swf on Level 1) to fade out and unload, and load and fade in Graphics.SWF in place of it.
View 6 RepliesIn the code below when I call chkAuthentication function from another function the remoteObj.login (login function in my service file (.php)) is called after the remaining code in that function. i.e., the loginStatus is returned from the function before the result-handler function loginResult is called. but my loginStatus is supposed to be set in loginResult function. It seems that the asynchronous behaviour is the culprit. what should I do in order to get the loginResult function to complete first?

what is synchronous and asynchronous call in flex. Why Httpservice is asynchronous and how to make a call to asynchronous call.
View 3 RepliesI have a big loop in actionscript that sends lots of data to an url:
for(var i=0;i<1000;i++) {
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest();
request.url = url;
request.method = URLRequestMethod.POST;
request.data = data;
var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
loader.load(request);
}
The problem is because URLLoader can make only asynchronous calls, it sends all those thousands requests at once which kills webserver. Also it acts a bit strange on top of that. Lets say the loop is running for 5 minutes. For whole 5 minutes there is no requests coming to web server, then at the end they all are sent at once. I already tried everything I could possibly think of (empty loops, callbacks, delays) - nothing works. All requests are sent at once no matter what. How to make requests synchronous, so it will send one request after another?
Is there a way to make synchronous calls using RemoteObject in Flex?
Solution: Add the second call to the result handler of the first call, having a token check for multiple originating calls.
I need a Synchronous loader for my AIR application.The URLLoader class does not meet my needs because of its asynchronous nature.It continues the execution of code. I need to stop the code until the loader loads the Html text.
View 5 RepliesI am creating a full site in flash. The main movie has an empty movie clip in the middle of the movie to load external movies as the user clicks on the links. Everything has worked good so far as the linking has only gone 1 level deep. However, when I created a new external movie, and had buttons on it for another external page, but yet to open in the main movie, I can't get anything to work. Example.... In the main movie, the user clicks on the archive link, and the external archive movie is loaded into the main movie. Now, on this archive movie, there is a button on it that links to a another movie (say text effects.swf). However, when they click this button for text effects, I can't get it to load into the main movie clip and replace the archive movie that was currenlty there.
View 14 RepliesWeb service calls are asynchronous in flex, but I wanted to wrap a web service call in a class to provide synchronous encapsulation. Something like the below - the user could call getMyMethodResult and get the result returned by the web service. I expected the thread that recieved the soap response would populate the variable _result and mean that getMyMethod would, after a time, find _result is not longer null. But it doesn't! Can anyone explain why this does not work?[code]

I'm a ColdFusion developer and recently started working on a project in Flex. I am getting more and more frustrated with AS and Flex lately. It seems that whatever I'm trying to do is either really hard or impossible while it usually can be done with one line of code in ColdFusion. I'm still learning these languages and I'm sure my lack of knowledge is the reason but for some reason I can't get ahead with my project. It looks like the learning curve is much steeper than it should be.

Anyways, here's my code for testing this functionality. The main application file looks like this:

This works OK except the function returns false before the HTTP call returns its result. If I un-comment the while loop the onStatus function will never be called and therefore end up with an infinite loop. Not sure why this happens.
Is it possible to make httpService Requests synchronous in Flex?
View 2 RepliesI have small Flex web based util with single button. On this button click a request is sent to server and the response must be read in the same call.This is important not to wait for response with event handler (which is trivial).Basically this is synchronous call.I am ok with blocking ui and so on.

View 10 RepliesIt's me again and I'm running into a problem. So, I have this movie clip that is nested inside multiple movie clips. I want to tell Flash to perform an action when that movie clip hits another movie clip in the main timeline. It's just collision detection for a game using the hitTestObject code. I was thinking of using MovieClip(root), but that won't work since it's nested so much.

I don't know if I should have the initial movie clip on custom cursor or have it set to drag... but either way I don't know how to make the second clip the "reflection follow along. Obviously it would need to follow at a slightly offset pattern so that you would be able to see both clips (or majority of them) at the same time. It's for a school project that is due at 9am tomorrow so time is of the essence!!

We're making a viral video which is going to be distributed as FLV movie file free for download and redistribution.
I don't know much about flash yet but I can imagine FLV is just some sort of special flash application which can also include arbitrary code.
