Both files are running on the same domain.I am simply calling a another movie within a movie using the global variable feature.Howver even hardcoding the variable _global.directionsText the import-html.swf movie returns a undefined error
Code:
//Frame 1 - Actionscript from Calling Movie
_global.directionsText="http://www.mysite.com/access_db/viki...ive/myHTML.txt";[code].....
If a variable is declared in a movie as global (_global). Is this variable available to a movie which loads this movie via LoadMovie()?
i.e. parentMovie loads childMovie.swf
Im using loadMovie in a parent movie to load my content movies. I need the content movies to be able to access a variable set in the content movie. I've tried using global variables and can't seem to get anything going.
I've got two layers. The top layer has the header and footer graphic alongs with the scripting for the menu. The bottom layer is where the content movie is loaded into.I'm declaring the _global variable in the top layer, outside of any functions, and trying to access it from the loaded swf in the content (bottom) layer.
I'm working with three files. Main.swf which contains navigation.swf in a blankmc, empty mc called mcContent where navigation sleclected materials are loaded.
In the navigation.fla here is the code
[AS]trace("now defining global");
_global.loadFile_str = strPicName;
trace("global defined as");
[Code] .....
When I do a trace of loadFile_str in the first frame of monthlyreports I get a undefined. I have tried trace(loadFile_str) and trace(_global.loadFile_str). I also noticed that if I define the global on the main movie (it maintains the global variable, the navigation fla will not overwrite it).
The movie was designed in several flash files, each has been combined into a single movie clip and then all the movie clips have been moved into the master document.
Each movie clip is on a single slide.
They play through and when a clip reached the end I have used the actionscript root.gotoAndPlay(x) where x is the slide number of the next clip in the sequence as such my timeline looks like this[code]...
I have an array holding 'image' and 'name' name loops fine and populates a load of movie clips underneath each other... i need for when this name is clicked to load an image in another movie clip (image name comes from the array).. the code i have works but it only pulls throught the last item of the array which points to a problem with 'i' not being carried across the functions..? that is the result of my investigation *smokes pipe*

im going through colin moock's book, "the definitive guide", and im learning about global variables. so in his lesson he says to do this:
1. create a movieclip called square, with a square inside of it.
2. in the square mc's timeline, on frame 1, place this code :
_global.day = "tuesday";
3. go back to the main timeline and on frame one put this code:
trace(day);
no according to moock, when i run the movie, it should output "tuesday", but all i keep getting is "undefined"
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.
Is it possible to track how many times that movie file has been played by letting the FLV file perform a server-callback when playback begins?
I'm working on a Flash MX application which involves a Parent movie and a Child movie.
I've loaded the Child movie into the Parent movie using LoadMovie. The instance name of the Child movie is Child1.
In the Child movie I have a user-defined function called getChildXML (we don't need to get into more details about the function).
The point here is that I want to call the getChildXML function from the Parent movie. I've tried something like Child1.getChildXML(); but with no luck.

View 2 RepliesI have a GlobalDispatcher Singleton class extending EventDispatcher that can be accessed through a static getInstance () method by any class after the constructor has been called. i have a host movie that calls the GlobalDispatcher constructor and sets up a listener for a custom event. This host movie then dynamically loads in a different external movie (in the same domain as the host). This movie calls the getInstance method to get the instance of the GlobalDispatcher. Then after an animation it has the GlobalDispatcher dispatch the same custom event the host is set to listen to. The host then captures the event dispatched by the dynamically loaded movie.
View 1 RepliesI have this code in a movie, the movie loads fine on it's own but when i load it into another movie it does not work. I think this is to do with global vars, but im not sure. look at the code to see if it is the case. how and where i would change the vars so they are global vars.

I have two buttons one button is calling in a movie clip with tween and then a second button that is also calling in a movie clip into the same spot. I want to make it so that when ever you are calling a movie clip in is that it moves the other movie clip away or that it lands on top of the old one. Here is the code.
import fl.transitions.Tween;
import fl.transitions.TweenEvent;
import fl.transitions.easing.*;

the problem is that it the second movie clip is always on top even though thay are on the same layer.

View 3 RepliesHow would I write a function in a movie clip to call a movie clip outside the movie clip with the function. Is it similar to calling a movie within a movie, such as below?
Code:
country.nd_state.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, function()
});
Basically, I have a movie clip in nd_state with the click mouse event, when clicked though I want to, for example, control the alpha of a movie clip at the top level of the scene.
Does anyone know the code for finding the global positioning of X & Y co-ordinates of a click of a button which is constantly rotating, and then secondly the code for when you click on the button it displays a movie clip on top of it -(position of x & y when clicked) at the angle that you clicked it,so underneath the buttons are still rotating so other people can click them where they are?
to explain the context, I'm trying to design a mock up of a circular interactive table Dynamically placing movie clip at the angle and global position of a mouse click (button) which is constantly rotating.when someone comes up to it and clicks on one of the buttons that are moving, it reads where the person clicked it and opens up a new box (movie clip) where they clicked it (at the angle) so its not upside down if you are at the top.
I've included my .fla file which shows the four buttons moving and a little diagram explaining what I'm trying to do.

i'm going to make a banner that's going to have some video clips.
the clips flie sizes will be big.
i'd like to call the clips in after the banner is loaded... how do i do this?
i'm having this weird pb i don't understand, could someone help me? i'm driving crazy here..what i do is load a movie from a movie but the 2nd movie load a variable. when i test the 2nd movie, it loads its variable and displays it as wanted, but when i load it from the 1st movie, the 2nd movie loads but seem not to load anymore its variable..

I have 2 movie clips, one being loaded into a container MC via "loadMovie();"In the main movie there is a variable with no value, in the external movie there are 5 frames, each with a value to update the variable in the main movie.
IE: if on frame 1, global value = 1 / if on frame 2, global value = 2 / etc etc I'm familiar with passing variables INTO an external swf, but am stumped on how to do it the reverse way.
I'm creating a utility function for debugging/logs, which I access by importing the class and calling
new Log(params);
Alternatively I change the function to a static, and rename it to It,
then I can call it by Log.It(params)
I'm wondering if it possible to set it up so I can simply call Log(params) similar to the trace command?
function:
package
{
public class Log
