View 3 Repliescan I call directly root variable from external loaded swf files. with conditions from external loaded swf file. like parent.parent!=null conditions.
View 1 RepliesI want to call a function that is inside the root timeline of Flash from an external class.
This code is from the class:
private function loadImage(event:Event):void
{
addToContainer()
}
[Code].....
Does anyone know the best method to trigger a function in the root from a dynamically loaded movieclip (loaded using addchild) using AS3, I understand targeting root is not the best way to do this?
View 2 RepliesI have small issue in as3. I am load "mainmenu.swf" file into "main.swf". through loader class. so now "main.swf" is parent "mainmenu.swf" file children how can call "main.swf " variable & function from "mainmenu.swf" .
View 2 RepliesI'm having trouble simulating a click call to a button(displayObject) thats generated via an API call( youtube as3 API). I have not seen any mention of security reasons as to why I can not simulate a click as long as something is registered with a click handler. Basically I checked to make sure the button made is listening to a mouse click event with:
trace(generatedButton.hasEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK)) which returns true
I proceed to than call this:
generatedButton.dispatchEvent( new MouseEvent(MouseEvent.CLICK, true) );
And nothing happens yet if I physically click the button it works. Is there some security measure that prevents something from being fake clicked unless its origin is strictly from the system mouse?
I even set a timeout call on the click function and moved my cursor over the button and let it fire in case it was an issue of the mouse having to over the object but still nothing. I am kind of stumped at this point.
I made a script for the file that i am working with that hasbuttons located within 2 movieclips. I want that button to load andimage into a UILoader (problemLoader_mc) that I placed on the stageon the main timeline (the timeline that contains WeekBar_mc). Theproblem is that I don't know how to get to the root of the file tostart a new directory to tell my function to load the image i want.I have tried multiple approaches including:
MovieClip(root).problemLoader_mc.source = problemArray[0]
MovieClip(parent).problemLoader_mc.source = problemArray[0]
root.problemLoader_mc.source = problemArray[0]

I have in root, two MCs1. MC is my content that a horiztional pan of multi MCs within the "content MC" 2. I have a MC that should function as a button each button linking to example "b3" for which b3 is on _root within "content MC" panel b3.PS. If I simply label the instance of the MC button "b3" this will play _root "content MC to that panel" However, I lose my animation on the button MCBelow is my _root code for (content MC)
Code:
var currentPosition:Number = contentHold.content1._x;
var startFlag:Boolean = false;

I've a button in MC1 (MC1 is resting in root) and I want it to take another MC2 (also resting in root) to go to a certain frame.. the instance name for MC1 is 'blah1'
How'll i make the button in MC2 to take MC1 to lets say frame#10.. ?
I want to make a MovieClip called "menuText" go to and stop at frame 2 on the click of a button thats in another MC.
This "menuText" MC is on the _root, but i know you cant use "_root" anymore with AS3, although i think you can use "root".
This is what i have:
ActionScript Code:
home.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClickNextSlide);
function onClickNextSlide(event:MouseEvent):void{
root.menuText.gotoAndStop("2");
}
Whats wrong with that code? The button is called "home" by the way.
I've a button in MC1 (MC1 is resting in root) and I want it to take another MC2 (also resting in root) to go to a certain frame.Supposing, the instance name for MC1 is 'blah1'.How'll i make the button in MC2 to take MC1 to lets say frame#10.. ?
View 4 RepliesI am creating a flash site, and inside my frame label for lets say "pageA" the movie clip begins In pageA, fades up shows the content and stops(); alowing for the page content to be read.
After reading, the viewer clicks on the button inside the nav bar, to take them to say "pageB" i now want "Page A" to fade out and then root to "pageB
my thinking is that i insert a stop on the time line of the movieclip, then when the button is pressed it plays, lets say, the remaining 10 frames in the clip (the fade out), and then roots to pageB.
i just need a simple actionscript to do that, if there is an easier way, any one who could point that out and end my misery is a god/godess respectfully!
I want to tear my hair out and cry! I've just upgraded to CS4 and am trying to create a simple swf that consists of a root timeline with various frames, each labelled 'home', 'bio' & 'contact'. There are buttons on the stage with instance names and then on the first frame of my root timeline I have the following code (as well as the _root.stop() as actionscript on the labelled frames):
Code:
_root.stop()
homebtn.onRelease = function():Void {
[code].....
I'm running flash cs4. I have an xml file I've loaded in but cs4 actually takes out the root nodes. So now I've been trying to add them back in when a button is pressed but I can't do it. I looked at creatElement and appendChild functions they seem to be what i need but I can't get them to work.
View 1 RepliesIf I have a movieclip on the main timeline, and a button in that movie clip. How would I go about getting it to advance the main timeline to its next frame? I understand that in AS3 movie clips are not connected to the timeline in the same way as they are in AS2 but I dont understand why the following works, or if there is a better way?
stop();
next_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, mouseDownHandler1);
function mouseDownHandler1(event:MouseEvent) {
MovieClip(this.root).nextFrame();
}
I 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 Replies//This is my original code which works fine when my button is present on the root timeline
btn_up.onRelease = function() {
getURL("javascript:Launch('website.html', 2000, 1200)");

how to call a button. I have a main file ("AS3Build.fla"), which imports an xml file, and imports different swfs depending on which node in the xml is being referenced. One of the swfs("slide_01_03.swf") I'm importing has a button("btn_01_01") that I'm having trouble accessing. First of should the script for the button be in the swf that holds the button, or the main file that will be importing the swf? I've got it in the swf currently with a trace file to see if it's recognizing the click. So far not luck. So I'm starting to think it should be in the main fla, and be referenced something like: this.loader.addEventListener.btn_01_01. This doesn't seem to work either though.

View 2 RepliesSituation:
- 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?
View 1 RepliesHow do you tell the root timeline to root.gotoAndStop(2); from the timeline of a movieClip added using addChild?In the maintime line I have
addChild(fade_eng);
and in fade_eng I have the following on frame 20
root.gotoAndStop(2);
this.gotoAndStop(1);
But I am getting 1061: Call to a possibly undefined method gotoAndStop through a reference with static type flash.display:Stage.
i have some actionscript that makes a
ExternalInterface.call('someFunction');
call.is it possible to reference the html object that made the call to someFunction directly using the ExternalInterface.call call?
Assume that the object that makes the call also has some Callbacks (via ExternalInterface.addCallback) that are accessible via javascript.
Currently:
Actionscript source
ExternalInterface.call("someFunction");
ExternalInterface.addCallback("someCallback",someASfunction);

I have created a listener. I want to call this listener on click on the button. As like my_btn.onRelease = function(){//call this listener on click on the button.}
I have to do a Flash ad in AS 2 with a button that flashes a few times (with a delay) and then stops. I've made this as a movie within a button in the main time line. The only ActionScript in the movie is a stop(); on frame 1, and a gotoAndStop(1) on the last frame. The second frame of the movie is labeled "playShine." In the main timeline on the actions layer, I try to play the movie using:
traceNow_btn.shineNow_mc.gotoAndPlay("playShine");
But the movie won't play. The button name, the movie name, and the frame label are all cut and pasted from the actual instance/label names. (It does play once if I remove the stop() on the first frame, so it must be something about the call that's not working). I've tried substituting gotoAndPlay(2); but that doesn't work either.
I have written two arrays for two separate functions and trying to have a button call both. How is this done properly? The function calls, collection() and left() are conflicting.[code]...
