I'm tackling a common situation with heavily nested MovieClips; wanting to be able to signal from a parent MovieClip when all children (and children's children, etc...) are done loading before utilizing the clip.
I'm doing some trickery by having a parent inspect it's children and storing off the onLoad() to a temporary then dynamically adding it's own onLoad() which:

I'm trying to use an onUnload transition on several movieClips, but the transition doesn't seem to take effect. the clips are just instantly vanishing. I am using AS based Tweens to handle this, btw.all other clip AS is working correctly.

View 2 RepliesI am writting an image gallery that loads one intial xml file named galleries.xml.From this point each xml node loads a XMl file for that gallery that holds all the images.The problem arises in the fact that to do this I need a onload function within an onload function.Onload functions dont accept parameters so I can pass down the variable that shows what loop the gallery loop is on as I need that in the function that holds the images.
View 4 RepliesI am loading an XML file and when I run a trace inside the onLoad event the results show.When I put the same trace outside that event, the trace returns undefined because it runs before the XML is Loaded.I don't know how to assign the results of the XML to a variable being used outside the XML unless I call that through another event.For example. I want to preload some images if the user has been to the movie before. I call XML which has the image array. But I can't tap into that array because my function is outside the XML Load event and my function is not tied to an event.

my mc.enterfame works but this doesn't. I think it's because it's on load and for this to be implemented it has to be called after load so how do i use it? I tried to call it on the original but it didn't work.
With the following code I get an output of:

It seems that the onLoad method fires twice ?? I know the .load method has to come after the .onLoad function for the function to work but that doesn�t seem to be the problem in this case.

xmlData.ignoreWhite = true;
xmlData.onLoad = function(loaded) {

How do I send a variable from the url [URL] to an embedded swf in that php?In other words, how do I get the embedded swf to load the variable from the URL. It needs to pass it, which I'm trying to accomplish via Javascript.
View 1 RepliesIs there a way that I can run a function when it first loads, as if it wasn't inside of the function, but still be able to call that block of code as a function later on? For example if I did...
Code:
someFunction();
function someFunction():void{
//do this
}
It wouldn't work correctly.. I need it to do what is inside the function as if it wasn't in the function, which it loads, but also be able to call it again later on.
I am loading one xml file and onload (or onData) of this file I am calling another function but, this function is not getting called. What can be the issue? Can delegates be used here and how?

_global.book_xml = new XML();
_global.book_xml.ignoreWhite = true;

I managed to load data from xml file (at last) and now I faced another problem. I can give value to a variable, but cannot use outside of onLoad function. Lemme show you what I mean:
configXML = new XML();
configXML.ignoreWhite = true;
configXML.onLoad = function(success) {

The first trace(variable) command (inside the onLoad function) returns the correct value, but the second (out of onLoad) returns undefined. I need the values elsewhere, not in onLoad.
This should be easy to answer...
I have 2 swf's:
Section.swf (to be loaded in main) Main.swf
In section.swf, on the first frame I have this:
[AS]
onLoad = function(){
// start doing stuff
When I run the section.swf on its own, the onload function works, and the "doing stuff" code runs. But when I load it into main, this onload (within the section.swf, above) does not run.
load XML data (it parses automatically), parse through the XML tree and assign the values to an array of my choosing for access later in the movie. I can load the XML data, but the only time I can access the XML functions, i.e. XML.firstChild, or XML.getChildNodes(), is when I am within an XML. onLoad function.[code]Shouldn't I be able to call these XML function and properties from anywhere? not just within the XML.onLoad function? I look at other people's scripts and they do it, but I can't?I created a function that parses through the data and puts it into an array. And that works well if I say XMLdata.onLoad = my_array_funtion();But the problem is, if I do it that way I can't get the array out of the function. I can't return the value because the function is being called from an onLoad event and the return value of the function isn't assigned to a variable. So the array I create is worthless.And there is no way to call the function, and have the XML.functions, i.e. XML.firstChild, to work outside of an XML.onLoad event. Is there? Please tell me there is a way.I tried assigning the array to a global variable, but evidently you can't modify _globals within a function.Ultimately, I need this array because later in the script I use the data on the fly, and I want instant access to it.

I've been searching this problem for a while and have tried a number of solutions found on google but nothing has worked so far. I'm sure this is a common problem, but due to my lack of flash knowledge I can't logically work through it as I'm used to windows form development, it makes sense to me that the function could access the variables I have defined but they dissapear after the .onLoad event. Does anyone know the common solution to this problem? I want to be able to pass the xml details into the local variables so I can pass on the details into a dynamic text field when movies are hovered over etc.

View 5 RepliesI have a class with a XML object in it. In one of the class' methods, I tell the XML object to load a document. Before I do that, I set up the onLoad event to call one of the class' other methods. The problem is that in that handler function, I can't seem to access any of my class' data. If I try to use the "this" pointer, I'm getting the XML object not my class.
A simple example:
[AS]
class MyClass
{
var theXML:XML;

I'm trying to take an xml object, parse through it, turn the appropriate elements in object properties. Then, finally, pushing each object an array.
Then I need this array accessible outside of the XML.onLoad() function (since it returns nothing, I lose my array).

#include "functions.as"
XML.prototype.ignoreWhite = true;
var top_nav:Array = new Array();

how I can get needed values out of the onLoad function?
I'm trying to pass a variable out of the 'XML.onLoad = function() {', but the variable keeps coming up undefined. This is what my actionscipt looks like:

The cript works and logs in the user, but i want to be able to know when the data has been loaded from php to flash.
