View 2 RepliesI have a Master.swf which loads in a game, lets call it A.swf. Once the game is finished, Master.swf then loads the home page, lets call it B.swf. I have this working.
I have a progress chart in my home page which tracks the user's progress in the game (like number of successful attempts, number of items collected etc etc). If a user completes the game, and the home page is loaded, then how do I get the newly updated info to display in the home page?
i have seen this done where a flash file knows what page it's on by some piece of code on the html page. It could have been php or java i don't know but i would like to know how to do that. That way i create one flash nav bar and it can tell what page it's on so i can make it so you can't click the page your on.Let say i have three pages Home, About us and Contact us and build a flash navigation for it. Some where in the HTML documents there is a code that tells flash what page it is. Flash reads this info and knows "oh i am on the Home page" or "i'm on the Contact us page" and will respond accordingly.
View 2 RepliesIm working on a project wherein I have the main fla tied to a document class entitled MyContent. The main fla consists of buttons and textfields, etc. External swfs are loaded when the buttons are pressed. My question is what code would I have to include in one of the external swfs to allow it to be able to change the content of one of the textfields, which was assigned dynamically in the MyContent class? The code within the MyContent class consists of a dynamic text field on the stage named longDesc and a string named long1. ex:
Code: longDesc.htmlText=long1; In the external swfs I have images that are enlarged on a click event and would like to be able to have the textfield in the MyContent classed changed as each image is selected through code in the external swf.
Okay so i heard it was possible but im not sure.
Example: i have 1 main swf containing everything. inside that swf i load 1.swf
can 1.swf share the same vars and everything as the main swf? such as.. if i click a button in 1.swf, then something will happen in my main movie.
I use loadVars to communicate with a .php file. When theflash files is on the same domain url, let'sthe .php file the communication between flash and php works. When Iput the flash file on another domain than the .php file (somethingcommunication process doesn't work anymore
View 3 RepliesI 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.
View 5 RepliesI 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 want to communicate between a embeded swf and the main swf. I want my main swf to tell the embeded swf to do something like gotoandplay(3)Main.swf loads Sub.swf into a empty movie clip called imageArea._mc.Is it possible to have the main swf tell my sub to do something?[code]

View 6 RepliesI have a main swf(parent) and a sub swf(child) that I have loaded into the parent swf. I am trying to make a button in the child swf effect the parent swf. I mainly want the child swf to communicate with the parent and tell it to make a movie clip visible and start to play.

I need to connect to a web service and call back xml data and all I get so far is undefined
My code looks like the following:
Code:
import mx.services.WebService;
blackBox_mc._visible = false;
myWebService = new WebService("http://link_to_webservice");

Is there anything wrong with my web services call? At the moment when it connects I just want a box to turn on and then later on find a way of splitting up the xml data and producing results.
I'm trying to call a function from a class that I've instantiated on the main timeline from another class that I've also instantiated on the timeline.The function I'm trying to call adds a line to a string that acts as a game terminal so that even if the game glitches for someone without the source code, it would be possible to read the variable changes and functions called. (it also doubles up as an input for unlocking characters and levels that are otherwise hidden)Main Timeline:
Code:
import britland.Character;
import game.terminal;
var GameTerm=new Terminal();[code]....
I've tried both "flash.display.DisplayObject.stage" and "this.parent.parent" here after discovered that "_root" has been removed and "root" doesn't work in the same way.
Can I have an instance of one class call a function in the instance of another class if the first class was instantiated in the second class? Essentially this:
Code:
//Class 1
public class main
{
var helper:Helper;
[code]...
All I can think of is have both main and Helper extend displayObject,do addChild() and use parent/child to communicate between the two. This seems superfluous though. Or I suppose it could also be possible to call a static function, but that seems too limiting.
I am having some issues with a php email form that I am using in my AS3 project. the form works perfect and all communication is good.however when the user is on the page and wants to tab to the next text field it jumps to one of my hyperlinks on the same page and not to the next text field down on the php form.
is there any way to stop this from happening.I have tried placing the php form on a seperate layer in a seperate mc and I have done the same with the hyperlinks .you can see what I mean by visiting this development site.(after entering go to contact)http:[url].....
I have only two fields Name and Email in a Order form and a PayPal button for payment at PayPal ( into my account).I can do the mail portion but have no idea about PayPal code, however on search here I found one code and after pasting this one to the PayPal button it redirects to my PayPal account.But the question is anybody can post a message and leave the site without paying me. How can I do this thing so that the user will forced to pay before posting the mail form.
View 1 RepliesI have a super involved and somewhat silly site I've been working on for a long time piecing together fragments of AS2 code and modifying them to the best of my limited ability.The site is here:http:[url]....I am finally adding the last steps, a series of contact forms with a PHP script in the back end. Anyway, I implemented a form script and have it triggered by clicking the "CONTACT" button you can see on the lower bar. So, click contact and once the form opens (an external SWF loaded into an MC), type away and everything works fine unless you use the letter "f" in either upper or lowercase. It causes the screen to flash and for the form input to lose focus.It works (in that you can enter everything normally -- the form doesn't function, but that's just the PHP which I have yet to edit.)

I'm using a wordpress theme, and making a flash banner which contains thumbnails that preview different 'projects', i.e. sets of images.
These thumnails will act as buttons. I want the thumbnail to load a generic php page (i.e. the skeleton stays the same for each project) which contains an swf movie which loads content based on the thumbnail clicked.
Here's an image to help illustrate:
Can I use loadVars to send variables from swf > php > swf?
how do you get an external swf which has been loaded into the main swf to talk to the main swf?
Like, lets say you load an swf into a container clip inside the main.swf's timeline, but need to get things to happen in the main one from the external one...
in as2 you used to just be able to go, say _parent._parent.main.gotoAndPlay("whatever");
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:

_root.moveContent(2);
