ActionScript 2.0 :: Communicating With Loaded Movies?
Apr 21, 2003
A problem that I'm having is that any movie I load into my main swf (regardless if I load it into an empty MC or just a higher level) my mouse still recognizes buttons that are underneath the loaded swf. This can be confusing to the viewer as the pointer turns to essentially an invisible button because you can't see the underlying button. Is there anyway to make the Flash player not recognize buttons underneath loaded SWF's or do I have to turn to invisible upon load?
Also, I'm having trouble getting the loaded swf to communicate with the main movie that loaded it. I think I need to use the parent action but I'm not sure how. I'm trying to use code that is created and contained in the movie that it loaded, is this correct?

into my main movie i want to load one swf with the navigation into one empty movie clip, in another empty movie clip load the different "pages", how do i talk between the 2 swf files loaded into my main movie, in other words, how do i make the "about" button load the "about" page, and when the different swf files load for each "page" i want each one to load on top of the current one, not to replace it.

I have finally figured out how to preload, and gotten my main movie to load an external swf properly. My last hang up, is how to speak to that loaded swf, with a button added above it in the main timeline.So, my button is Nextbtn (added via addChild), and my swf is titled "about_mov.swf", when it is loaded, it goes to frame 10 and stops, what I want to happen, is when you click the NextBtn, that loaded swf advances to frame 11. Just not sure how to reference it properly, and hping i can get a quick solution on it.

I have a flash container that loads other flash files that have been made in Adobe Captivate, (essentially just normal SWF files) and on top of that I have other SWF widget files that I have created as it's children to extend default Captivate functionality. So essentially i have 3 'levels' of loaded SWF's.Container -> Captivate SWF -> WidgetThe problem lies in the middle - I don't know how Captivate is arranging its variables, events and loaded children since I don't have access to it's code. What I want to do, is to get my container SWF communicating with the Widget one and vice versa, but I can't get the hiearchy working... I can send values to the "stage" via the widget, but not vice versa.
So firstly, since I don't have the SWF code -- Is there a way to list all variables inside a child or parent so I can work this out?- Is there a way I can tell when a child or parent is triggering an event? (especially when I don't know the names/functions of the event)- and is there any easier way I could be going about this that i'm not seeing?

I have loaded an AS2 swf inside another AS2 swf using MovieClipLoader. I have no control(cannot edit) over the child swf. Is there a way I can communicate with the child swf from the parent swf. The child swf is not accepting any LocalConnection Objects. Can I call a method in the child swf some other way?

I am using the following code to try to reference these buttons "withing" my loaded content - itis giving me the following error:
TypeError: Error #1010: A term is undefined and has no properties. at sliSiteFinal_2_fla::MainTimeline/prevOut()
code:
pPrevH.addEventListener (MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, prevOut);
function prevOut (e:MouseEvent):void{ var mc:MovieClip = MovieClip(imageLoader.content); mc.btn_prev.gotoAndPlay ("pLout");
Is my dot syntax here off? As it seems I am defining prevOver and it is telling me I am not.

I have a base SWF, and I am loading a another SWF into a movieClip array. I need to communicate from the loaded SWF to the base SWF I tried _root but think this only goes to the root of the loaded movieClip? This is what I tried:
on (release) {
_root.moveContent(2);
}

I'm having problems accessing a function that I loaded from a MC I have in my library. Addchild and all that stuff works, I just can't run the function inside these dynamically added movieclips.[code]But the moment I add .myTest(); to them, the one in button clicked works fine, but the other one fails and causes a compilation error.

I'm loading movies into my parent movie, and i was wondering if it was possible to communicate between the two - so i could swap out other external SWFs (in the parent) based on input in the loaded movie.I'm still relatively new to Action Script, and have been learning quick, but i have been unsuccessful in my attempts so far.

Is it necessary to unload Movies in Flash, or can I keep multiple movies loaded simultaneously? Are there memory requirements that make it necessary to limit the number of Flash movies loaded at one time?

I have a project where I have to load other flash movies into it as a "porfolio".So as of right now the code I have when clicking on the christmasCardBtn is [code]This is working fine to load the movie. I also have a button that appears when a movie is loaded that is coded to remove the myLoader1 child when selected. So the movie dissapears. But there are a few of my movies that have on-going sound clips. How do I make the sound turn off when the button to remove the movie is selected?I tried adding SoundMixer.stopAll(); to the button that removes the movie but this doesn't work.

i have my loaded .swf buttons loading 'movie1' and 'movie2'. both 'movie1' and 'movie2' have a tween in frames 1-5, which is a box that slides open and is stopped. in frames 6-10 the box slides backwards in the opposite and dissapears. i would like it if 'movie1' is open and the user clicks the button for 'movie2', 'movie1' plays 6-10 and then loades 'movie2' and vice versa. i just don't a script for this function.

I have a site I am building in AS3. I have a main SWF, site.swf, that loads the subsections as seperate SWF's only when a user clicks on them (to save on initial load time).or my subsections, I need to be able to communicate with the SWF that loaded it. In AS2, this was simple enough - just say something like_parent._parent.gotoAndPlay("something"), and step up enough levels to speak to movie clips in the main SWF.Trying to do this in AS3, however, results in errors such as this when trying to compile my subsection SWF:Code:TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.... because it thinks I am trying to communicate with something that doesn't exist. The result is that I can't compile my subsection SWF's.For example, I am unable to reference a variable in the main SWF using this code in my subsection SWF:

Ive made two simple up/down buttons, that "scrolls" a loaded movie by the following code (lets say the movie is loaded to level 5):
_level5._y += 5;
Very simple.
Well, Id like to be able to hold down the button and have the movie scroll continously, like the scroll++ code does for textboxes

I need to load a flash-game inside the flash site. The goal is to get information about the winners' score to publish it on the site. The problem is that the game was developed by third-party programmers, so I have no idea if I can get access to any variable of the loaded swf (game) to get the highscores.
How can I retrieve the data from loaded swf?

how to keep track of loaded MCs? I have a navigation system loading content MCs. The problem is, when I choose another nav button, I want it to (onPress) figure which clip is currently loaded then gotoAndPlay a frame label in that clip, which will play an exit animation and load the content area corresponding to the newly pressed button.
Someone on Flashkit suggested having the loaded content MC send a variable to the main time line to act as a kind of flag to say which section is active but I'm not sure how to go about doing this.

I'm trying to load multiple .swf's into a horizontally expandable flash page (it's for a portfolio). The problem is, being a bit of novice when it comes to actionscript, I can't work out how to create the correct spacing for my images. I've got the code below but obviously the x position is simply a fixed amount (210px) which is no good as some images are much wider than others. I've tried to use _width to make the spacing dependent on the swf width but nothing seems to work.
