Everything talks about accessing methods & variables.
Simple:
- I have a local flash file that is loading .swf files from a local directory, and playing them.
Code:
for (x=myBanners.length-1;x>-1;x--){
var bannerName:String = "banner" + (x+1);
var movieLocation:String = myBanners[x].firstChild.nodeValue;

I am dinamicly creating movie clip(see code below). I give each movie clip a name that has a diffrent nubmer at the end(myMovieClip1,myMovieClip2,..). In the createEmptyMovieClip this works fine, but when I want to do something with the new created mc (_root.designer.nameMC.lineStyle(0.5, 0xFF0394, 100); ) I can't use the string variable to acccess it. How can I access this movieclip with the name given in the createEmptyMovieClip method?I shuold probably (somehow) set movie clips instance name, right?
Code:
/loop
var nameMC:String= "myMovieClip";
nameMC=nameMC+loopNumber.toString();[code].....
I need to call a method writeln() from the method buttonClick() which is in another class. Also need from a method of readResponse () method call loadSocket (str: String)
Errors:
Attempted access of inaccessible method writeln through a reference with static type main2.as$36:CustomSocket.
Call to a possibly undefined method loadSocket through a reference with static type Class.
Here is my code with 2 classes:
ActionScript Code:
package {
import flash.display.Sprite;
import fl.controls.Button;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import flash.text.TextField;

How would I access a loaded in swf files public methods in my main swf.
var temp:ExternalSWFLoader = new ExternalSWFLoader("FX_Ticker.swf");
temp.x=temp.y=0;
Ticker =(Sprite)(temp);
[Code]......
I can't seem to access anything from a loaded swf file. I can, however access parent variables/methods from inside the loaded swf file.
var ldr:ProLoader;
function loadExternalSWF():void {
ldr = new ProLoader();
[Code]....
This just gives me the error:
TypeError: Error #1010: A term is undefined and has no properties.
EDIT: wrapperMC is just an empty movie clip instance that I've created and positioned on the stage to load the external movie into.

View 7 RepliesFlash CS4: New document, insert FLV w/ skin. I save the SWF, FLV & SKIN all to the same folder. Next, DW CS4: New HTML document, insert MEDIA> SWF (the one I just made above)I save the HTML to the same folder with all the others.I publish all those files to the root folder on the remote site for people to see. I also publish the file that was auto created by DW 'swfobject_modified.js' in the folder that it created it in. (The folder is called 'scripts')So to recap, I have one folder called scripts and then 4 files mentioned.The result is that there is a white space where the video should be, and the 'skin' shows up... but no video.
View 1 RepliesI have an urgent task to implement in my project code. I can't able to access the new properties and methods which are present in FileReference Class. For load() ,save() methods needs runtime version of Flash Player 10. I need to include the flash player 10 in CS3 publish settings Version. Otherwise you can suggest how i can able to access the FileReference class new properties and methods without CS4.
View 7 RepliesI am still very new to Actionscript and have an okay working knowledge of Flex. I am working on an AIR application that runs a SQLite database underneath. The database is only 3 tables (projects, items and types). I was wondering if Actionscript best practices are to use a data access object or layer to store all of my database functions or to just run them inline as needed. I would assume an access layer would be best for interacting with the database for usability, but I can't seem to find much documentation for SQLite in AIR.
View 1 RepliesHow would you go about calling the public properties and methods of a SWF you load in actionscript?
I have been using stackoverflow for years to answer my programming questions so I wanted to give back by writing a guide to an issue I had a lot of trouble figuring out. This is my first user guide so tell me if there is anything I can do to improve it.
I'm using a movieClip inside a ScrollPane to show a list of CheckBoxes. The amount of CheckBoxes shown is dynamic, it depends on a SQL query. After the query is done, I add as many CheckBoxes as rows in the result set. What I am trying to do is to access some methods I wrote in the MovieClip inside the ScrollPane to get the length of the CheckBoxes, check which ones are selected and the label they have (their label is also defined by the SQL query).
I've tried this
valueINeedToGet = Object(root).scrollPaneInstance.source.functionINeedToRun();
But it returns error #1006
How can I access the code inside the MovieClip inside the ScrollPane?
How do I access the methods of a dynamically created movieclip/object?
For simplicity sake I didn't post code on how I dynamically created the movieclip. Instead, assume its already created. It is an object. It is called field_2. Below it is referenced by using getChildByName('field_' + field.id);
Check_box_component.as
public var testVar:String = 'test';
public function testReturn()
{
return 'value returned';
[Code]...
When I trace temp.testReturn, why does it show "function Function() {}" instead of "value returned"?
This link below helped me get this to this point.

Let's say I have a FLA file with document class called main. In main, let's say I have a method called test1 that just outputs "hello world" via trace. On the FLA I have a movie clip. In that movie clip, when the timeline reaches frame 123, I want it to invoke the test1 method (I just set up a simple action on the frame). However, I get an error saying that the method is undefined. I try this.parent.test1() too but that gives me the same error. Is it not possible to invoke a document class property from within the timeline of a movie clip that's on the stage?

It seems that the clip isn't fully loaded because my functions aren't being called. I tried using movieClip.onLoad, but no dice.

We have a very large SWF hosted in a website which is just a repository of hundreds of movies/symbols. We load this SWF at the beginning with the Loader class but then the client will access a very few of them at that moment. Is it possible to tell the loader to download symbols only when they're needed? (as with applicationDomain.getDefinition(...)).
View 4 RepliesI have recently adopted an FLV from someone else. It is structured "unconventionally" at best. For this reason (and because I am not well-versed in AS3), I haven't been able to get a pause/play button to function properly. About the file, The project is a 6-7 minute demo for a new product complete with voiceover. You have to drill in 3 movie clips deep before you can get to much of the animation. There are gotoAndPlay functions at the end of each 3rd-level movie clip that refer to a frame on the 2nd level.
On the 2nd-level frame, there is a stop function which allows the next movie clip to play. Each movie clip contains a sound layer for voice over. About the play/pause button. The instance name is pauseBtn. The button code below is on the 1st frame of the main timeline. There is a keyframe on the second frame for another bit of code. The button itself is a 2-frame MC that spans the entire main timeline. The event.target.gotoAndStop() lines are working properly to change the look of the button.
My button scriptstop();
import flash.media.SoundMixer;
var pp:Boolean = true;
function ppState(event:MouseEvent) {
if(pp) {
stop();
[Code] .....
What happens when I test the movieThe animation plays without problem as long as the button is not clicked. I haven't been able to see a pattern in the chaos that occurs when the button is clicked.
Sometimes nothing happens.
Sometimes it stops the sound only.
Sometimes it resets to the beginning of the movie.
Sometimes it starts play random parts on top of what was already playing.
This error appears in the output pane.
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
at NameOfTheFile_fla::MainTimeline/chk()
Imagine the following setup. The main swf loads a child swf.In AS2 i would simply use _parent or _root to call the desired function. How can that be done in AS3?Can this still be done? Can I call a function on the main swf from the loaded one? How about the other way around, this time, from main to loaded swf?
View 1 RepliesI have created a loop to instantiate tiles on a board. In the following example, "Gametiles" is an array containing objects of class "Tile" which is a class that extends MovieClip. "Game" is a MC that I added to the stage in the flash developing environment.[code]This method is a bit cumbersome though. I really don't want to have to create a var and call getChildByName every time I want to interact with these properties or methods. How can I set up these children so that I can access them directly without the extra steps?
View 1 RepliesLet's say I have a defined ClassA. ClassB extends ClassA and there's a Movie Clip instance on the stage linked to ClassB. How would ClassC access the properties and methods of ClassB without extending ClassB or creating a new instance of ClassB? The way I'm currently doing it is by referencing the stage instance linked to ClassB and then using the dot syntax to access ClassB instance variables, and this works only if the the accessed variables are public or internal, depending on what package ClassC is part of. I would like to know if there's a better, cleaner way to accomplish this.

Ive been able to setup FMS 4.5 and stream RTMP videos locally from a webcam stream but if i try to access it remotely i cant get a connection. Ive forwarded port 1935 through to my local IP from my router but still no connection, what do i need to configure on the servers end to tell it that its behind an NAT etc. Do i just add the public ip to the hostname line in the fms.ini, or is there more i need to do too? Do i log into the admin panel and change the server name from localhost to my public IP
View 3 RepliesI'm writing a communication system, using Actionscript 3 and C#. Flash is used to communicate with RTMP server and stream video and audio using RTMFP p2p, but the actual client logic is handled in C#.
What I want to be able to do, is allow users to share files between each other also using a direct p2p connection. I have got the RTMFP connection working but I need to access the IP address of the remote user so I can initiate a connection to send or receive files.
I looked at the Adobe docs but I can't see anything except how to access the farID.
Is there a way to get the IP of a RTMFP stream?

View 1 RepliesI have this situation (simplified):
MC-A.swf opened from local computer (C:/) and loads MC-B.swf which is hosted on a server.
When MC-B.swf is loaded, it tries to access file called "loader.swf" which is also on local computer (C:/).
When it tries to access the "loader.swf" I get the following error message:
*** Security Sandbox Violation ***
Connection to file:///C|/loading.swf halted - not permitted from [URL]
-- Remote SWFs may not access local files.
I read discussions concerning this issue, and as I understood, I could use:
System.security.allowDomain("[URL]");
to solve this problem, but it didn't work.
I wouldn't like to change the loaded file to load it's resources also from the web, since it can find them on the local machine.

My domain host claims flv files are supported, and Adobe technical support eperiences the same behavior as I, they can play locally, but not remotely. Adobe technical support claims the cause of the problem is the remote server.
