ActionScript 2.0 :: Call The Parent Master SWF Functions?
Jan 15, 2009
I am playing with a page viewer which imports SWFs for pages from an XML file.If i make a button on one of these pages, can i get it to call the parent master SWF functions?I have tried this...
code:
nextBtn.onRelease = function() {
var nextPage = _root.offsetPages(_root.page+2,_root.removedPages) ;
if(nextPage<=_root.offsetPages(_root.maxpage,_root .removedPages)) _root.gotoPage(nextPage);
}
but while it hovvers like a btn the functions still not calling.

I've encountered what seems to be a race condition between a parent and its child movie clips, but I don't know what to do to fix it. The parent movie clip is on the stage at compile-time, and the clip contains a number of children. In the parent's constructor function I have the following code
for(var i in this){
if(this[i] instanceof MovieClip){
this[i].hval = this[i]._x;
$tItems.push(this[i]);
this[i].subscribe(this);}}
I'm able to give every child an hval property and push it into $tItems, but the call to the child's subscribe method fails every time. It's as though the child's functions haven't been loaded because the children haven't yet realized that they're members of a class that have a subscribe function. I set up a button to test this function call manually and when I do it that way I succeed in calling the subscribe method in all the children, so it really seems to be some sort of race condition. How can I overcome this?

I have a main Flash file that loads up other SWF files using Loader objects. I want to be able to call methods of this main object from within the loaded SWF files. For instance, I want the loaded file to be able to add an event listener to the stage of the main file. I've found this example:
[URL]
Which appears to do what I want, but I can't figure out how to implement it in my setup.
My 'main file' that loads up other SWF's is called 'main.swf' and has a document class Main.
My loaded file is called start.swf, and has a document class "Start".
[Code]....
How can I reach the stage from a loaded SWF? Or at least, how can I call a function in my Main Class from the loaded start.swf file so I can move the functionality I need to the main.swf file?

I have uploaded a ZIP file that includes the following files:
- main.fla
- child.fla
You can download to review my code (very small 16kb): http:[url]...........This simple example has a main SWF file that loads a child SWF using the dynamic loader method. Below is the code in the main.fla file:
Code: Select all/*
MAIN SW
*/
import flash.net.URLRequest;[code]........
how do I get both parent and child SWFs to communicate with each other dynamically (to be able to call functions from each other, or pass variables)?

What the correct way to call a parent from an embed SWF. In my case I am building a project in flashdevlop but embedding swfs for a few nav elements and I need those to either dispatch an event or call a method so it cant change pages. Best case is calling my "Main" instance. For example "Main.theMethod()" not sure if Main is seen by the embeded swf, I know in as3 I could call _root and get it, not so sure in as3.

I want to call the parent function called "edit_groups()" from the itemRenderer. The code for my itemRenderer is:
<mx:VBox id="vbx_container" paddingBottom="4" paddingLeft="4" paddingRight="4" paddingTop="4" borderStyle="solid"
dropShadowEnabled="true" width="100%" height="100%" horizontalScrollPolicy="off" verticalScrollPolicy="off" >
<mx:Canvas width="100%" height="100%" horizontalScrollPolicy="off" verticalScrollPolicy="off" >
<mx:Image id="image" width="100" height="100" source="{data.thumb}" scaleContent="true" maintainAspectRatio="true"
complete="{image_smoothing_handler(event);}" trustContent="true" doubleClick="{Call The Parent Function"edit_groups()"}"/>
</mx:Canvas></mx:VBox>
And I call my itemRenderer from an application like:
list_groups_modify.itemRenderer=new ClassFactory(groups.list_groups_modify_item_renderer);
<mx:Label text="{data.label}" textAlign="center" maxWidth="60" toolTip="{data.label}"/>

Is it possible to call a child function from within the parent? I know to go child > parent, you can do parentApplication.functionName(parameters);, but what about going the other way... that is parent > child?

how I reference vars/instances from a parent class by using a static function and I wonder if there is a better way to do it.
I have a main document class Main.as with a public static function called mainFunction().
ActionScript Code:
public static function mainFunction( _mc:MovieClip, _nVar:Number ):void
{
// do something
[Code]......
This can be tricky if the static function has many variables from its own class.

To my knowledge, there are 3 options:1 - parent.publicPropertyOrMethod.2 - using static vars/methods.3 - dispatching events.Under best practise for OOP development, which is the "best" method? Are there any more?I dislike #1 and never use it as it and can easily descend into hideous parent.parent.parent references that are easily broken. #2 has it's own problems whereby attempting to get/set instance variables doesn't always work through a static function (I am yet to completely understand this). #3 is great for triggering methods (I use this the most) but sucks for altering class properties and suchlike.

How can I make a call to a function in the parent class of the class I'm in.
example:
main class
Code:
package {
import flash.display.Sprite;
public class mainClass extends Sprite
{
[Code].....
I realise that there is some stuff that is missing in the "full" code here, but that's just because I'm to lazy to write it all...
How do I get the "someButton" in the "child_class" to call the "theImportantFunction" in the main class? I know that it is possible to make a "dispatchEvent" in the "mouseClick" function, and then add a eventlistener in the main class.. But is there another way to just call the function directly?
