i have a variable which (hopefully reads) the content of a dynamic textfield and puts it into a string.| I then want to use this variable as a URL for use with the MovieClipLoader Method:
[Code]...
I created a MovieClipLoader a few days ago that is reuseable. I will be using the same preloader graphics when I am loading in external swf on my stage. My MovieClipLoader functions fine with jpegs and smaller sized swf files. But whenever I load a larger sizes swf it loads the movie before it has fully downloaded in simulation mode. The odd part is that everything works fine with smaller swf files but not larger ones . I have tested a few movies and that seems to be the common theme.
In the example below main.swf is the clip I am loading into "mcBackground".

View 1 Replieswhen i write prototype method and declare a variable inside the prototype method. this is fine but as sonn as i declare another variable with the same name i get an error. conflict with "variable" namespace internal. i've contact other users and they claim they don't get this same issue. i'm using flash CS3, i have flash player 10 installed but cs3 only supports up to 9 so i have 9 selected. and i'm using AS3. this is some code you can use to test to see if you get this issue:

Is there a way to make "1-1=120,10,hello how are you" be loaded from a text file so that i don't have to make something like "T1-1=120&P1-1=10&S1-1=hello how are you".
Is there any code that would allow me to make the first " " a variable then after the "," the next " " a variable so on.
I just cant think of any code that would allow me to do this (i currently have it set up like "T1-1=120&P1-1=10&S1-1=hell how are you", but that really wont work in the long run).
If someone shows me the basics i can probably alter it to work in my engine. So if you can just do the small example and put it into something like var1 var2 and var3.

View 5 RepliesIt's early days in my AS3 learning, and I'm looking for a little clarification regarding a variable typed to a superclass (in this case var mySpinner:MovieClip) which contains a reference to an new instance of a subclass (in this case Spinner.) I am trying to get my head around why my code compiles and runs and I am able to call the method rotater() on mySpinner even though mySpinner is typed as MovieClip, and the MovieClip class does not contain the method rotater().
On page 163 of the official Adobe Programming ActionScript 3.0 documentation it says the following, which I believe is related to my situation, but I am still in need of clarification:
"Because each class defines a data type, the use of inheritance creates a special relationship between a base class and a class that extends it. A subclass is guaranteed to possess all the properties of its base class, which means that an instance of a subclass can always be substituted for an instance of the base class."
I have 3-4 swf those i want to load one after another like a slideshow.What i want to do is get the total frames of loaded swf and want to pass that value to Timer object's delay parameter. i have converted total frames to milliseconds so i can use it in timer constructor. But i am not getting the value of that variable outside of my Event.COMPLETE listener method. Here is my code what i have done

In the following code (thoroughly debugged) the first case (1) in the switch is met and a new instance of BannerSingle is assigned to retVal (the return value). Unfortunately, while the second case (2) is never met, the assignment therein to retVal takes place and I can't compile. When I comment out the assignment to retVal for "case 2:" everything works fine.
I've tried using an if/else instead and I still get the same odd behavior. Also tried a number of solutions involving separate variables, etc.

I have a class called Animal that has a method foo() and I call it out within the Animal class.
Code:
protected function foo():void
{
trace("Animal");
}
I also have a class called Cat that extends Animal and overrides the method foo()
Code:
override protected function foo():void
{
trace("Cat");
}
However when calling the function foo() from the superclass it traces out Animal not Cat (using a Cat object).How can I make superclass call out methods in the subclass?
two classes, both extend EventDispatcher. Static method in 1st class calls instance method in 2nd event not getting caught. [code]also, since dispatchEvent() is an instance method, is there any way of calling it without first instantiating the class? i expect not.

View 1 Repliesit goes to a certain point in the timeline, which then initiates some code to load a movie clip onto a certain part of the screen.I made a sample swf to be loaded(home.swf), but the thing is, I dont want the user to see the things that are off the page of home.swf, that the user couldn't normally see... i was wondering the best way to solve this.As you can see, i already tried sizing the clip, but that only made it extremely small and didn't solve the problem.he main timeline :

this.createEmptyMovieClip("content_mc", this.getNextHighestDepth());
var mclLoader:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();

I'm trying to take full advantage of the movieClipLoader along with listeners. But my callbacks aren't getting triggered. Inside one function I loadClip, when onLoadComplete happens I set the onRelease function. Within that onRelease I call another function ("cdPress") that also loads bigger images inside a clip.None of the callbacks in the cdPress function are working. The function is being called successfully, but the "onWhatever" callbacks are not.
Code:
function someFunction(){
cdListener.onLoadComplete = function(target_mc) {
target_mc.onRelease = function() {

whats wrong with this code:

// Create listener object:
var mclListener:Object = new Object();
mclListener.onLoadError = function(target_mc:MovieClip, errorCode:String, status:Number) {
trace("Error loading image: " + errorCode + " [" + status + "]");

I'm trying something that should be fairly simple. I want to:- load a jpg into a container clip- when that image is loaded, then duplicate it and move it to a different position- then do a whole bunch of other stuffI'm doing all that using MovieClipLoader.onLoadInit(), and when tracing the duplicated movieClip, without fail, it returns undefined.
Code:
var detailImg:MovieClip;
// create a loader to handle loading the full image
