I am using prototype.js to make AJAX calls. I need to do this in a flash document to replace the contents of a <div> which contain a Flash movie, to be replaced by HTML.
Here's the code on the button:
Code:
on(Release){

I'm having some trouble calling a JavaScript function from the HTML file I've embedded my SWF in.
I'm currently using Flash 8.
I'm trying to to simply call a function which will open an alert window, but when I click my button, nothing happens.
Flash Code:
import flash.external.*;
testbutton.onRelease = function() {
ExternalInterface.call("testAlert", "Yay, it finally worked");
}

My needs are to execute a javascript whitout calling any external function of the html file when a flash button is clicked. I need to obtain the effect that happen when the user put in his address bar the text javascript:"alert("Hello World!"); and press enter I need to do this whitout calling any external functions, whitout calling anything in the html file, all just with the swf. Of course the script that i must call is another than javascript:"alert("Hello World!"); but let's begin with this easy script and when working i can thikn to implement the complex one
i tried this
ActionScript Code:
on(release)
{
function runJS(script:String):Void {
[Code]...
but is not working, i get a syntax error, maybe cuse of the " in "Hello World!"
I want to ask if what i need to do is possible and, if yes, why my AS code is not working.
I can't get this to work. I need to call a Javascript function from a button in flash. The code is as follows:
on (release) {
getURL("javascript:nameOfMyFunction('whatever.html ')");
}
This is working, so I got the call right. But what I really want to do is have that url (html) to be a variable within flash.
on (release) {
Myurl="[URL]";
getURL("javascript:nameOfMyFunction('Myurl')");
}
This doesn't work. How do you use a flash variable as a javascript function parameter?
I have a series of calculations i'm doing over a bunch of objects stored in a array. Each function is pretty CPU demanding but if you only run one function, it just works fine.

Is it not possible to call other functions from generic mouse event functions? Surely it is !!??ie....
Code:
_root.myButton.onPress = function(){
hide();

let suppose i have a object named "data" which has a callBack function named "closeItem" which does something. So i have flash file which has a close button. on click of that i am calling this function which closes this item. So issue is? If i pass this "closeItemFunction" as global function this works fine. but if a pass this function as a "data.closeItem" this doesn;t work throwing some falsh error. so i just wanna ask that "does flash only call gobal scoped javascript function" ??
View 2 RepliesI need to execute some javascript string code from flash swf file using actionscript 3.
I read that it could be done by passing the javascript code to the parent html document , using externalinterface.call function. Then I assume it will be faster if I can declare functions in the javascript code in the HTML document in the first use of externalinterface.call funtion ; if flash code calls the javascript code repeatedly. So let me ask you how to do that. For details , any javascript to be loaded is unknown in design time and I can not prepare a javascript file to be loaded.
I am refactoring some code. I have a PHP page that contains a MySQL query and stores the result in a PHP variable $my_result. This result is then echoed to a Flash SWF during embedding with SWFObject. I now want to call this PHP page that makes the query from a javascript function like so - one change I have made to the PHP is that instead of storing the result in a variable $my_result I am echoing the result. Javascript function to call the PHP page and make the database query

If I have a function and I want to call a variable from another function (only 1variable), how do I do it? I know in the olden days you could set the variable to local or global, but that does not seem to work anymore. There is only 1 variable I need access to, but all the tutorials I have come across talk about making classes for multiple variables.
e.g. function2();
{
variable_b = variable_a;
}

I can't get it but, i'm coding in as3 and i can't target a function from a swf file loaded in the DisplayObject loader in any way. I don't want to create a class to make this function works. It's a simple function, made to change a picture every time the user navigates on another swf. Well. The point is, why in the name of God, the as3 cannot target another swf? How can i do it?
View 0 RepliesI have made an event listener:text0_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, showMe);showMe is a function, but I need it to call more than 1 function at once i.e. -ext0_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, showMe1, showMe2, showMe3, showMe4, showMe5, showMe6, showMe7);Each function contains an if statment as below.
function showMe1(event:MouseEvent):void
{
if (shuffledArray[1]==orderArray[1]){
[code].....
Is there any way to call two functions concurrently at the same time in AS3? I have two functions which do very sensitive things, a difference of 0.1 second is considered failure.
View 2 Replieswhy the following does not work:
private function test():void

Parse1(textarea1.text);
Parse2(textarea2.text);[code].........
It seems only the first parse function is called and the rest is simply ignored.
I'm loading a flash file using the built in Loader class. How can I call one of the original swf's functions from the loaded swf?I know about LocalConnection and using that with other SWFs on the same webpage, but is there a better way of doing it if you're loading an swf within another? The reason is that I need to get a return value from the function, and local connection's send() only provides a true/false.

I have this function that builds menus, and I'm using a tweening class function to move the menu items around. The thing is that when calling the tween function I need the submenu building function to wait until the tween is finished otherwise things start freaking out. It's organized like this (pseudo code):
[Code]...
The problem is that I need the first tweening to finish before I can build the submenu. I've tried using the onMotionFinished, but it doesn't seem to want to call a function nestled into another function (in this case buildMenu()).
while the condition of a if statement is true, as in the following hypothetical example, will it keep executing that code continuously until the condition somehow becomes false?
i.e. - will it keep trying to load the photo into the photo_movieClip instance continuously until the condition is false?
Code:
if (condition == true) {photo_movieClip.loadPhoto(image); //send image from array to load into photo_mc};
[i]...If so, how can i make it call that function only once even if the condition remains true?
I have this REALLY wierd problem. I have a MovieClip that is attached onto the stage. In this MovieClip I have the init() function. When I try and call this function, after the MovieClip has been attached on stage it doesn't work! I can't belive it!

function init(){

its a site about interior design. my job is to add some code to do something. i checked the code and his approach is not so good.. he's coding inside objects and frames at the same time. (ive read many actionscript books and this is a really bad practice). Here's the problem... he wants this to be implemented in the site...1.) in the gallery there is a scrolling thumbnails, he wants this to pause about 4 seconds then it will start to scroll..(ive already fixed this by creating a function interval.
Here is where my problem is...2.) When you click the thumbnail, the enlarged view will pop up.. the enalarged view are external swfs... the client wants that when you click on the thumbnail, the scrolling will stop and the external popup enlarged image will come out...this external swf has an exit button to go back to the main gallery window which is another swf... so the client wants that when you hit exit from the external swf popup window, the scrolling will resume.... im having a hard time figuring this out because i dont know how to call a function from an external swf to the main movie (the gallery page) Ill post the fla of main movie, gallery and a single external swf link of the thumbnail. just click on the first picture that will appear on the gallery
I was able to find different threads about random loads: the most are photocontainer, well I also found a text random loader But I can't find some about function random calling: in a site I'm building I have three functions (but other will be added) that when called in callback change general graphic appearance, loading a dozen of different parts in various container with attachMovie; I wish a function that loads them randomly
Actually I'm trying:
//variable "funArr" with the three function names
var funArr:Array = new Array("montaspazio", "montabilancia", "montaaereo");

i'm trying to call a function on a clip, but i want to use a variable that i'm sending to the clip so that when the one function gets done it knows what to do next. i just have no idea of what the syntax would be. here's a sample.

I have one function that puts text in a text field and makes a button goto a url onRelease.The code is like this:
Code:
item.onRelease = function() {
myButton.onRelease = function() {
getURL("http://google.com", "_blank");
}
talk = this.txt;
}
the only problem is that the button doesn't work onRelease. i think that it is because there are too many functions there, but at the same time,
Is it not possible to call more than one function at a time?, this is my problem:-
btn.onRelease = function()
{
blah();
something();
jump();
}
When I run something like the one above, jump is executed but everything else is ignored, would really like to run all functions at the same time.
I want to loop through a array to call my functions, but can't get the syntax right?
var myArray:Array = ['function1()', 'function2()'];
for (var key:String in myArray){
// I want to call the function here

I'm new to writing several different class files.. and trying to make a set of boxes that expand/collapse by mouse click and timer..
I have 4 class files, Box, BoxGroup, BoxTimer, and Main.
I can call the functions in Box class from BoxGroup class, but not the functions in the BoxTimer class. it keeps throwing this error. I don't understand why since i'm using the same method between the other 2 class files...
ReferenceError: Error #1069: Property timer_start not found on

I've used the code below to load swfs into my tileList and set their colors using setData() within each swf. Everything seems to work except "source:e.currentTarget.content". The swfs seem to be mixed up randomly each time it runs. Their colors are set correctly and all the other tilelist info is correct. What have I done wrong with "source:e.currentTarget.content"? I can swap "source:e.currentTarget.content" with "source:myXMLList[loadPosition].source" which gives me the correct swf but then the colors aren't set.
for(var f:int = 0; f<myXMLList.length(); f++){
var ldr:Loader = new Loader();
ldr.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, function(e:Event):void{
Object(e.currentTarget.content).setData(myXMLList[loadPosition].param eter[0], myXMLList[loadPosition].parameter[1]);

I 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;
