ActionScript 2.0 :: Passing Variables From External Swfs To Main And Vice Versa
Jan 12, 2010
I wonder if it is possible to pass values from external .swf files to the main projector (.exe) file.? I would also like to know how a button of an external swf file can control the playhead of the main .exe file.
I have this map of tasks. and each map have these houses which when clicked will take you to a certain task(external swf). and when accomplished should have a button to take you back to the map(main swf), and also the button to send a value to the main swf that the task is accomplished.

i have a loader.swf contains important functions and variables that loads 10 external swf-s (site compontents) in a container MC, those external swf-s also have some important functions and variables.my problem is that i don't know how to access the variables and functions declared in the main swf ( loader.swf ) from the loaded swf-s.so the hierarchy looks like:
Code: Select all
main swf ( loader.swf )
childAt(0) ( container MC )[code].........
1. ( for example ) : how can I access/refer the functions and variables declared in the "main swf" ( loader.swf ) from the "2. loaded swf" ?
2. how can i access/refer the functions and variables declared in the "2. loaded swf" from the "1. loaded swf" ?

I have some avi files that I need to turn into swf. When I convert them to flv files using adobe media converter on the PC then put them into flash and export as swf files, they look good on the pc but will not show on the mac (just white box). Conversley when I make swf files on the Mac (using the FLV files from the PC) they look OK on the mac but do not work on the PC?

I have started working with colors and have got a need for playing with hexadecimals. I tried making a variable which adds two hexadecimals, and it works but when I trace the answer, it comes out in decimals. How can I make it remain in hexadecimal or convert the decimal to hexadecimal?

Is there a library simplifying the process of dragging and dropping between the Flash/Flex environment and the surrounding browser?
I've done some research on the process, and so far the closest thing that I have found is from HTML to Flash in a Floorplanning application. I have yet to find a demo going in the other direction however.

test.fla's document class is Test.as
test.fla's library has two MovieClips ThingMovieClip and Thing2MovieClip
I tried accessing the Thing.as public var thingState's property;
directly,
using something called Casting (??),
assigning an instance name,
but something that seemed so simple doesn't work,I commented the errors I got next to each way I tried,conversely how would I access the MovieClip Thing2MovieClip from Thing.as (which is a child of Test.as because that's where it's instantiated), it just doesn't recognise an object of its parent exists, here are the 2 classes:
package com.hello.test.test
{
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.events.Event;[code]........
I think i'm missing some basic but fundemental understanding of ActionScript 3 and I have no other knowledge of other scripting /programming languages either.when I follow tutorials exactly they seem simple enough, but then start applying what I think is logical usage then it throws up errors..

Using a standard Flex DataGrid, is there an easy way to determine the grid row index given the data object or index of the data object in the data provider? On the flip side, is there a way to get the index of an object in the data provider based on the DataGrid row index?

I am trying to use the _visible property of loaded swf files to trigger the opening animations of these files to prevent the animations from playing before the preceding swf animation finishes. The problem is that the property of the loaded swf files read true when false and vice versa. If you click the link again, the property reads correctly (false when false etc). The onEnterFrame handler seems to be the issue, but I need it to read the property. The code is a bit lengthy, but I posted it for reference sake.
// the purpose is to unload the content and use the width property
// or visible property to trigger the opening animation
// of the next swf file
onSelfEvent (load) {

Flash AS2, AS3, and so on have many limitations. For example it is almost impossible to do transitions from a straight path to a curved one and vice versa for example as required in a in a car race game. You may have go for a frame by frame animation which is very cumbersome.

I am trying to create an animation that will show the basics of steering a sailboat. The idea is that there will be a top view of the boat with the tiller and rudder very pronounced. I want the learner to be able to click and drag the tiller one direction or the other, while the tiller is dragging I want the rudder and the boat to rotate the proper direction. Example, I want the boat to go left I will push the tiller to starboard and the rudder will rotate clockwise and the boat will turn left. There doesn't need to be forward motion by the boat in my head, I think that as long as the boat rotates it would be fine.

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 have one swf where I modify parameters of a circle using tweenlite and variables input by the user and I want to load that swf into another swf which has a boarder that I want to change according to the circle color. I got the circleChange swf to load using a uiLoader component but passing the variables for the color has become difficult and I'm a bit lost.
I tried using shared objects and kept getting the "cannot create shared object" error. I can either pass a variable or pass the inputTxtBox of the user defined color but don't know how to do either.

I'm working in a modular app and I'm having trouble passing variables between a Parent and it's loaded Child SWF file. The Child SWF has a single object called hotSpot_mc. The Parent has a frame called frame_mc to load the Child. I'm trying to pass the value of bHotSpot, which is turned on and off when the user mouses over the MovieClip. Testing shows that the value is being set in the Child but not in the Parent, where it remains undefined. Should I be using shared objects or do I just have to use better targeting?
Here is the parent SWF
Code:
// Load the child SWF into frame_mc
loadBackground("Room_1.swf");
function loadBackground(backgroundName:String):Void {

I have created a main "site.swf" file that loads a "default.swf" file into a container after a preloader. On this default.swf file I have buttons that needs to load new external SWF files in its place in the container. All of the external SWFs contain buttons and navigations that will also call up other external SWFs into this container. So, I would like to know how to program each button (some are movieclips as buttons) to unload itself and load the respective SWF into the container (eg. AboutUsButton to call up aboutus.swf into the container). I do not have a main navigation on the site.swf file bacause the navigation changes on each SWF that needs to be loaded into the container.

I can't seem to load a movie clip, and then pass some variables from that loaded movie clip back to through stage_mc it is loading into - to the SubClip.
The structure is as follows:
Main
>SubClip
>>Stage_mc
Where the new movie clip is loading into stage.
I need to pass two variables from the loaded clip into the SubClip. Simple vars to fill some dynamic text in SubClip.
I've done the whole _root.myvar thing, _parent, and _global.

i'm pulling my hair over this. i have sucessfully (verified) loaded an xml file and can trace the data i'd like to pass. i am loading the external swf into an empty mc called X. in the external swf i am loading is a mc and in there is a dynamic textfield. i give the content of the xml to the path to the dynamic textfield and nothing happens. trying to pass the variable with: target.text = content;
i listed the variables and objects in the test movie debug option (command+enter) and i can see the dynamic text box variable. then i took copied the path from the output window to my actionscript, replaced _level0 with _root but still to no avail. what am i doing wrong? do i have to publish the swf being loaded in a certain way? why am i able to look at the variables in the debug list variables and objects option, but not in the actionscript?

I have a project where I am externally loading .swfs into my main scene. However at the end of my external .swfs I want it to go back to the first frame of my main .swf. I have used this code MovieClip(root).gotoAndPlay("start"); but I get this error
ArgumentError: Error #2109: Frame label start not found in scene Scene 1.
and I understand why I get the error because the frame label start isn't in that external flash file it is in the main one. However, I just don't know the correct AS3 to get this to work properly.
