ActionScript 2.0 :: Communicate Between 2 Nested Swfs
Feb 26, 2011
I am using a flipbook that I purchased on activeden. It loads swf files as pages. If have one video on page 1 (page1.swf) and one video on page 2 (page2.swf). Both pages are on the same spread. I want the video on page 2 to start after the video on page 1 has finished. So on page 2 I want to listen for a .complete from the video on page one. This is the code that I am using to load the video on page 1 where I need to listen for the .complete.

Whats the simplest way to get a nested swf to modify the value of a variable located in the parent's swf? I'm not sure localConnection is what I need.
Here is a simplified example of my situation:
main.swf
content01.swf
content02.swf
main.swf loads and unloads content SWFs ontop of it's stage.
A piece of script in each content.swf needs to modify the _hieght of a movieclip in main.swf
(imagine the movieclip is a visual container for content, and content that takes up for space needs a taller content box; hence, changing the _height of the movieclip content box)
I'm also animating the movieclip's height expanding using actionscript:
ActionScript Code:
import mx.transitions.Tween;
import mx.transitions.easing.*;
var bodySize:Tween = new Tween(BOX_Body, "_height", Strong.easeOut, 200, 500, 2, true);
I figured I could put these lines of code on the first frame of the content.swfs, but change them to affect the "Box_Body" MC on the main.swf stage?

I was able to use LocalConnection to have 2 swfs communicating when both sitting in the same PC, or upload those on to the server and accessing those from the same PC. Is there any way to do this between two PCs, one PC running send.swf, controlling another PC running receive.swf? I checked adobe site for LocalConnection and it looks like this only works within one client PC.

I need to write or pass some variables from swf 1 to swf 2. This doesn't have to be done in real time and this is not going on a server believe it or not. All local. ie, swf 1 is the backend that sets variables for swf 2 to read. swf 2 can be started after swf 1 is done. Was thinking that swf 1 could write a text file and then swf 2 could read it... but was wondering if there was a better/easier way to do this? Also, swf 1 doesn't have to be a swf! If I could create an interface in html or something to allow the variable passing that would work too..

If I playing one swf, the other swfs should pause if it was playing. I can able to communicate two swfs using javascript(both swfs are different name). But come to multiple swfs, I don't know how to differentiate the swfs beacause all are same name. I have embed 3 swf files in my html page using the following script.

Can 2 swfs on the same page communicate with each other directly? Or do you have to do something tricky like setting variables in a stored object from one swf and then constantly checking for updates to it in the other swf?

This has quite a long background history, so I`ll first ask the question: how can I make a loaded SWF file activate a function inside another loaded SWF file - both in the same 'parent' movie, domain and directory - when the user clicks a 'link' on the first swf?I'm new to actionscript, been only working with it for 2 months and I've been learning on the go. So far, so good, flash cs3 help has been useful, as well as this forum and other sites. My project is a website, no innovations, just simple info and light animations.The site should have an intro page (I called it index), a preloader, then the actual site (home), with links to each specific area (pages). In home, a small slideshow movie clip should always be on the upper left corner looping images until the user clicks a link to a page, when the slideshow fades away. With this briefing, I made a file for the index, and a uiloader in it would get the home file and that 'should' be it.My stage resizing event listener was working perfectly on home - standing alone - moving the slideshow exactly as it should. But when home was loaded inside index, the slideshow moved way more than it should never getting in the right place. After various unsuccessful attempts, I decided to move the slideshow into its own swf and load it directly in the index, together with the home file. This way, I managed to make it relocate precisely, but got myself the problem I'm asking here. I need to get the slideshow to fade away when the user clicks a page link, but they are separate files.
I tried to use a Loader.content based function, located at the index, but figures Flash help was not exactly clear on how I had to use it properly, so I did not manage to get it to work. It always reported an unspecified property. I searched around here and over the net, found similar problems and their solutions but could not resolve my problem. I think this is a little too specific..

I have a "wrapper swf" that loads a remote flash player that in turn loads video preroll ads from various advertisers. So my wrapper is the parent and the remote swf is a child and the video ad is a grandchild. I am looking to capture the url that the grandchild will navigate to when clicked. I am trying to trace it in the parent (wrapper) mouseUP and mouseDOwn event.
Is there a way to traverse ALL children until I get to the "bottom/last loaded" swf and get the URL? I wish to save the url to a variable so I can launch the url in another player of my own as opposed to having it launch an external IE browser.

Background: I have a class called MultipleChoiceQuestion which pulls the stem and choices from an xml file. The choices for each question are randomized. The Quiz class has a set of specified multiple choice questions which it loads dynamically. It also references the xml file to determine # of questions. The quiz controls the question progression based on correct answers. The main movie launches the quiz at the appropriate time.
Issue I want the question building to be dynamic and load the choices and randomize them. How do I do this? Right now I publish the quiz as a swf and then load it into the main movie, but that is static and always has the same choices in the same order. How can I do this dynamically?

I have an index.swf that serves as the main part of my page, and it loads swfs as sub pages.One of my sub pages, home.swf, needs to be able to load it's own set of sub pages as well, which means I'll have a swf within a swf within a swf (index.swf > home.swf > home_1.swf). When I test compile home.swf by itself, it works fine. But when I test compile index.swf, I get the Error #1009. Here's my code with the line indicated where the debugger says the problem is:
Code:

I have a main fla file which loads an external swf into an empty movieclip on the main timeline which works fine but I want a button in the external swf to load another external swf into another empty movie clip on the main timeline.eg. start.swf loads UKEIAMap.swf into (empty movie clip within start.swf) MapLoader_mc then a button havant_b within UKEIAMap.swf needs to load HavantProjectSheet.swf into (empty movie clip within start.swf) ProjectSheetLoader_mc without unloading UKEIAMap.swf

I am loading eight external swfs by way of eight buttons with actionscript to remove the swfs and sound after a new button is clicked. This works fine except that as soon as you get to the frame where the actionscript is all the swfs load at one time on top of each other. I don't want any to load until the button is clicked for the right one. MouseEvent listener works but only after all the swfs have loaded. How do I get the swfs to load only when the buttons are clicked. I can't figure out what I am doing wrong.

Flash - 8 : Above is an example of what I would like to do/have done. I've gotten as far as loading the "loaded.swf" into the "start.swf" but my problem is I'd love to use that little loading action I made earlier without copying and pasting into the new movie the same actions for a different link. So, how do I load "loaded2.swf" into "loaded.swf" via the link in "loaded.swf"?

[URL]regarding this tutorial I started my site [URL] to get some trasition effects but im getting somewhat different since the external SWFs take time to load. isn't it better to create "intro and outro" on the same time line instead of loading external SWFs bcos once the movie loaded as a whole will lead to smooth and contineous transitions.

Is there any way I can have an integration between Flash AS and C++? Let's say I have created a socket using C++ and multi-casting it to several ip addresses.
On one of the IPs I am running a Flash client. Can I receive the Multicast message (sent by MFC/C++ application) through my Flash application.
Or at least can I develop a Flash plugin (menu item) using C++?

The Flash site I am building includes an FLV video which is embedded into a SWF (SWF1),which contains the video control components. SWF1 is in turn loaded into another SWF (SWF2) after SWF2 is launched. After I leave the part of SWF2 which contains the video, the video and audio continue to play. You can still hear the audio after you have moved away from the SWF1 video.The SWF1 video is part of a set of mostly PNG images that slide like a slide show along the X axis. When I hit the forward arrow, the SWF1 video slides out to the left and a loaded PNG image slides in from the right and into view. But you still hear the audio from SWF1 and the video continues to play.All of the loaded SWF video (there are three total) and PNG images are loaded into the same movie clip.Question: How can I tell the FLV video embedded in SWF1 to stop playing once SWF1 has moved out of view? I would like SWF2 to tell SWF1 to stop the video.

I'm working on a game where the the engine is made in AS3, yet the interface is made in AS2. Basically I am embedding the GUI as a AS2 .swf into my main AS3 .swf. I want the AS2 GUI to be able to communicate with it's parent. Small Interface calls like Pause, Unpause, Upgrade.I tried to use External Interface, but I can't seem to get it to work. I know it's made for Javascript, but I thought that it would work just as well with AS2 to AS3.I'm able to edit the Interface file and have the FLA for it. It'd just be a real pain converting it... It'd take way to long to convert the FLA to AS3, talking weeks here, it's rather large.

I'm having a little issue with LocalConnection - trying to communicate from one SWF to another. From my main SWF I've loaded an external SWF of same dimensions ( effectively replacing the main SWF). What I wanted was then to re-load the main SWF, but rather than have the main SWF play from the start, I wanted to go to a specific frame instead (I used a frame label called "myMarker"). Thought LocalConnection was the way to go to achieve this. Gave it a shot and it all works well locally BUT when uploaded to server it doesn't work, but throws the following error:-

I have written a flash program using AS3 which allows the user to build a picture of a product using a variety of options displayed in checkboxes. Very simply these checkboxes either make a layer visible or invisible in my flash movie and certain choices may change the list of options. This information is currently being supplied by XML. Once the user has built his product, I would like to be able to save his choices in a SQL Server database and also be able to download his options again at a later date and view these choices at the manufacturing plant.
So far I have tried using asp.net to write to the database and have got the information to the asp.net program by using the querystring, however there may be up to 50 options which does make a querystring rather unwieldy. Also I cannot seem to send back information from the asp.net page to my actionscript.Can anyone tell me how to do this or give me an example? I am supposing that I use the response.write function in asp.net but what command in AS3?I looked into the possibility of using a webservice but see that AS3 no longer supports this as all the functionality is in Flex. I have read about Flex but still do not understand whether
