ActionScript 2.0 :: Telling Parent Movie From Loaded Swf

Jul 7, 2004

I have a parent movie that loads a swf(events.swf) file into a movie clip with an instance name of container. (container.loadMovie("events.swf");) It loads fine and seems to work great.

events.swf has a movie clip inside of it called design_mc that contains the content. In that movie clip I have a button that needs to target the parent movie and tell it to gotoAndPlay("eventsout"); which is on the _root of the parent movie. However, anything I try will not target the parent movie. I've tried _parent, _parent._parent, _root, and even assigning the parent movie this._lockroot = true; . Nothing seems to target the parent movie.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Buttons In A Child Movie Won't Work While Loaded In Parent Movie

Jun 25, 2009

I have an external swf (sub.swf) that loads into my main swf. The external swf has buttons of its own...that I would like to use to load additional external swf's in its place. I click on the buttons and nothings happens.

My current code is as follows:

All of the following code is in my main.swf
================================
//Location where the external SWFs will load
var Xpos:Number=18;
var Ypos:Number=10;

[Code]...

External swf has no code except for a stop action.

I pieced this current code based on various articles I've found on the net.

Loaded Child Movie Controlling Container Parent

May 14, 2009

i'm a designer trying to step up my flash skills and have a scripting problem that's causing me trouble. essentially i have a child swf loaded into a container in a parent swf and want the child to be able to instruct the parent. to explain in full, the child contains an flv with bespoke video player components. it's container sits in one frame of the parent. when the flv finishes playing, i need the parent swf to move onto another frame.
as it's a controllable flv, it isnt possible to predict the exact length of time the child will need to be present, so it literally needs to tell the parent it's finished playing at that very point.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Parts Of The Parent Movie Not Completely Loaded?

Nov 8, 2010

I have been getting errors when i try and make a call or get data from something on the main stage (like a volume slider) from an external class.

I have flash gallery with an mp3 component. The MP3 component features a volume slider movie clip that i manually put on the stage.

When i try and reference this from a file that is not the main as3 file it comes back as not being defined unless i set a small timer to kind of put my external class to sleep, then reference the slider.

Is there a way to fire off an event when all the components on the main stage are fully loaded?

Flash :: Loaded Font Doesn't Show Up When Parent Swf Creates TextField In Loaded Child Swf

Jun 14, 2011

Im working on a project that has a main swf file associated with the document class. It loads XML that provides the text content for the project, then it loads a swf that contains a font in its library, then it loads the first of several content module swfs. When the font swf has inited, I'm registering its library font with Font.registerFont(), and using it in a TextFormat object. After everything is done, I can add code to the document class to create a text field on the stage of the main swf and format it successfully with the TextFormat object, but when I try to do the same thing inside the loaded content module swf, the text doesn't show up there at all.

Communicate Between Loaded And Parent Swf?

Mar 8, 2009

I started learning the basics of as3.0 a year ago by doing a lot of experiments.. I never read a book or took lessons or something.. I guess i'm still missing important logics when i'm programming. I'm creating my personal flash imagegallery but I can't figure out how to communicate between a loaded swf and its parent swf.

I have a main.swf file with document class main.as which loads external swf files into a movie container. I am also loading a background sound like[code]...

The only work around I was thinking about would be to keep showing the stop/start sound button from the main.swf when a slideshow instance is called.. but then I'll screw up my design I want a second button inside the slideshow that can also stop the main bg sound.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Positioning Parent MC In Order To Center Child MC On Parent's Parent MC

Feb 5, 2010

[code]All clips are squared.Ok, on the PlayerPlane, there are little soldiers, which have hotkeys. The effect I'm trying to create is I want to position the GameStage so that the currently selected soldier appears in the center of the GameClicker clip.The GameStage is movable by the player (to scan other areas of the map)by holding the CTRL key, so it's easy to kinda lose track of where your players are.I have tried using localTo Global and globalToLocal techniques, but I think I'm lost on the actual math of getting the GameStage to move the correct distance so that the selected soldier is centered to the GameClicker.[code]

ActionScript 3.0 :: Child Swf With Component Loaded In To Parent Swf

Feb 13, 2010

I have an elearning course, a .swf, that loads multiple .swfs as the user progresses through the course. At the end, there is a quiz.

The quiz.swf uses the radiobutton component. I have developed some custom skins to use on the radiobutton component. I have figured out that:
I have to add an instance of a radiobutton in the main .swf for the radiobuttons in the quiz .swf to show.I have to copy the radiobutton intance from the quiz swf library to the main swf library if I want my custom skins to show in the quiz swf While, this works fine. It is not practical. I want the quiz.swf to more modular. So I can pop it in to any course and not have to go back in and add the radiobutton skins to each course.

Saying this another way round - rather than loading external .swf as a child of a "host" movie I would like it to replace host movie entirely.

Actionscript 3 :: Camera Denied If Loaded In A Parent SWF?

I have a child SWF file that has the Camera functionality. It works fine if I run the child SWF by itself.

However, when I load the child SWF into a parent SWF, the Camera functionality does not work. Doing some tracing it says that Camera access is denied. That happens without me even clicking on the deny button and in fact the usual security popup does not even show up.
