I have difficulty accessing a function inside a child object from parent.I've created an object named "dot" which has the following code in it:
ActionScript Code:
import com.greensock.*;
import com.greensock.easing.*;
[code].....
I have to access a function in child swf from parent swf. This child swf gets loaded into a canvas object in parent.swf. Everything works fine but I'm unable to call any function that was in child.swf. My code is
Code:
var swf1:SWFLoader = new SWFLoader();
swf1.source = "CHILD.swf";
can.addchild(swf1);
I read on google and then I tried this in parent.swf's code
Code:
var myrequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("CHILD.swf");
var myloader:Loader = new Loader();
myloader.load(myrequest);
canvas.addchild(myloader);
Now this one throws up a runtime error TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert flash.display::Loader@5934b01 to mx.core.IUIComponent.
I also tried this
Code:
var myrequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("CHILD.swf");
var myloader:Loader = new Loader();
myloader.load(myrequest);
[Code]....
But in this case my swf does not show up at all and there are no runtime errors too!
How do I resolve this error and how do I then access the function in child.swf?
I have a very serious issue and need to be fix ASAP. Kindly check [url]... it is a flash based website, there on main flash file which have all the navigations (menu tab), when user click on any tab its load a external swf according to that tab, that swf has flv player which take videos dynamically, If user click on the trailers tab its load trailers.swf which have the player and the playlist when the user click on the video of the play list its player that video but the problem is that if the video is still in loading process and the user click on another tab so the main.swf load the swf according to that tab but the audio of the previous video is running...
thats i m trying to make a function in the child.swf(trailers.swf) which will pause the video so i will call that function the other tabs, so if the trailers.swf is loading and user click on comedy so that function will pause the video of trailers.swf and play the comedy.swf, So kindly tell me how i will access the function of [url]...
I am trying to have the function name from itself.It will be really cool to automate something like this:
obj.addEventListener( Event.COMPLETE, myFunction );
private function myFunction( e:Event ):void {
e.currentTarget.removeEventListener( e.type, currentFunction ); // where currentFunction should be myFunction}
I want Access to value of a variable from inside of Function like this simple example
function test() {
a = 10;
}
trace(a);
// return undefined
mHook -> mBottom -> hItemButton -> itemButton[a] -> itemButtonExp[a]
so i press another butoon, and retrieve a number 2, how do i access itemButton[2].itemButtonExp[2]? Coz i need to change the text field in there?
in AS2 i can access it directly by changing itemButtonExp[a].text, but how do i do it in AS3?
i am trying to access a variable from inside a function like this:
ActionScript Code:
var X:Number=1;
function hello(event:event){
trace(X)
}
or something like that... does anyone know why i don't get "1" in the output panel when i run the code?
Is there a way to call a function inside a loaded SWF file?
Basically, I have a .swf file (A) that loads another .swf file (B)...I would just like to treat B as if it was any other instance added to my class .swf "A"...
Have to recast "Loader" with the name of your .swf file class:
Loaded .swf class:
package src {
import flash.display.MovieClip;
public class LoadedSWF extends MovieClip {
[Code]....
I have attached the actionscript file on stage, however I can't access function or variables inside movieclip. Instead I can access them on main timeline, is there a way to access function and variables inside movieclip
View 2 RepliesHow can i access a function, from the root, that is inside another movie clip?
_root.mc_1.mc_1_1.mc_1_1_1
Inside of the mc_1_1_1 is a function called test_me.How can i call that same function from the root?
I have a simple quesiton about class, method and functions inside a method and class properties. I created a new class form my custom component.. But upon developing it I found out that you can not access a property inside the function which is also inside a method..
Example
Code:
class myClass{
private var myProperty:Number = 1; //default is 1
//constructor
public function myClass(){
}//Method
[Code] .....
What I want to do is to access the property inside the method.. I also have a work-around still i cannot point a certain variable to a property of my class inside the method's function..
i have problem with swfLoader in flex, when i close following code in click method i can easly add many swf to main application
<mx:VBox id="content" width="100%" height="100%" ></mx:VBox>
public function doIT():void
{[code]....
when i close adding those swfs in loop i have the same error, it looks like child apps couldn't access certain objects that were instantiated by another child app, so what can i do?
I've seen some discussion on how to load a child swf using swfLoader and accessing it's variables but I am wondering if it is possible to do this without adding any code to the child swf.Either accessing public vars or listening for funciton calls would work fine

It dies every time on that last line. How do I refer to that vidThumbn instance so I can add the imageLoader? I don't know what I'm missing. It feels like it should work.
I have a mainSwf in which I load an external swf, which loads an external swf.( a child of a child). I am trying to set the framerate via AS3 for the childs child by using stage.frameRate= 15;
It doesnt work when the children are loaded into the mainSwf. how to access the stage of a child's child? I have tried root, Movieclip, this but can not get it to work
I have a main.swf. I have loaded two child-SWFs into it, child1.swf and child2.swf.... There´s a videoclip inside child1.swf, can I stop that video from child2.swf?
View 2 RepliesI have done this same thing in ActionScript 3, but am not familiar with ActionScript 2, which I am forced to use for this project. I am loading products into a SWF via XML and attempting to add a click event to each dynamically-created movieclip. Simply tracing the text from a node in XML will do for now. I'd like to assign a property called "desc" or "description" to each movieclip and have it trace that property's value when clicked. Here is the relevant portion of my code as it stands:
ActionScript Code:
var iXML:XML = new XML();
iXML.ignoreWhite = true;

How to call a function in a Class from another Class?but it was a bit hard to follow as it relates to my problem. One of the solutions worked, but was commented as being bad form, and another did not work, so I want to make sure I structure my code properly.
i've made a simple example here to show you my problem. I have basically created a stage object ("box"), with the nested children, box->b->c. I have exported box for as, with class "box" and base class movieclip. Now i create 4 instances of my box class and add an eventlistener to the nested child c. When i later on try to remove the eventlisterner for myinstance.b.c i get: TypeError: Error #1010: term is undefined and has no properties.at DocumentClass/removeSomething(). Here is my code:
package
{
import ....

The error is as follows:1119: Access of possibly undefined property shiftX through a reference with static type flash.displayisplayObject.shiftX is declared in the first line of the movie clipFirst i check to see if the child doesnt exist and if it does I access it like so:getChildByName("ball"+ccc2).shiftX)

I'm making a basic photo slide show for a website I'm working on. I have the following in place and working:
- One movieclip (images_mc) preloads all of the images before the main slideshow movieclip (player_mc) begins
- player_mc contains photo_mc which is the container for the image that is currently playing...it is animated on the stage and everything is setup that I can insert the first image and play it, then insert the second image and play it again
- I have an array full of pointers to the images_mc instances of the photos (mc_array)
- I'm having problems inserting the content from images_mc into photo_mc...I've done the following:
ActionScript Code:
photo_mc.createEmptyMovieClip("placeholder_mc", photo_mc.getNextHighestDepth());
trace(photo_mc.placeholder_mc);
photo_mc.placeholder_mc = mc_array[photoCounter];
[Code]....
The assignment on line 4 is causing the placeholder_mc to be completely rewritten, instead of duplicating the content from images_mc and inserting it into placeholder_mc. How do I duplicate the content into the placeholder? I've tried duplicateMovieClip() several times, but it always returned UNDEFINED, so maybe I'm not doing it right?
How do I insert the preloaded images properly?
I am trying to add a child in a movie clip and perform basic operations on the child but I cannot get access to the child.
It loads the child to the movieclip "FLine1MC" but it says FLine1MC.ClipArt1 does not exist when I try to change the x location.
function AddArt1(evt:MouseEvent): void {
var ClipArt1Request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("images/mypic.gif");
var ClipArt1:Loader = new Loader();
ClipArt1.load(ClipArt1Request);
FLine1MC.addChild(ClipArt1);
FLine1MC.ClipArt1.x = 550;
}
Anybody know what's my error?
By that token, is there a way we can check the exact path of an object?
I am adding a movieclip in a class I will call class B that is added to a class I will call class A. In class B I am adding the movieclip like this:
var thumbHolder:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
thumbHolder.name = "thumb" + loadingCount;
MovieClip(root).slideMenuHolder_mc.slideMenu.thumbs_mc.addChild(thumbHolder);
trace("after: thumbHolder.name is: " + thumbHolder.name);
In class A, I can do something like this:
thumbs_mc.alpha = .3;
But if I try to do something like this, I get an error, even though the trace above traces out the names correctly. thumbs_mc.thumb1.alpha = .3;
On the main timeline I've got a movieclip, inside this movieclip I have some elements. Can I manipulate those elements from the main timeline through AS3? How?
View 3 RepliesI have a cloud named cloud2_mc and in its timeline i have a cloud layer, and an actions layer. I took the cloud and made it into a a Movie clip clip with an instance name of embeddedcloud_mc in this Movie clips timeline i have a 50 frame animation of the cloud breaking appart and disapating with a tween and i have a stop(); function on frame 1 of this layer.
What I want to happen is, when the cloud2_mc movie clip is clicked to play the animation of the cloud breaking appart. the cloud2_mc has a trajectory moving slowly accross the sceen continuously when the cloud2_mc reaches the side of the sceen it loops again. When the animation is clicked i would like it to continue across its path but, when the cloud2_mc reaches to left hand side of the screen i want the embeddedcloud_mc to reset its timeline and go back to its original state where the cloud has not broken appart.
My question is, how do I access an embedded movie clips timeline to tell it to play an animation on its timeline as well as, how do i make the same object restet its timeline to frame 1?
I am developing a shopping cart for my web store. What I am trying to do is initially a store front is rendered where a user selects the products and adds them to a shopping cart. The "cart" is a vector that holds all of the products selected. The user is then sent to a review page where he/she can review their order. It is then communicated to a PHP page for the final checkout and what not.[code]...

View 4 RepliesI am adding movieclips (myBall) to the stage by the click of a button. There is a base class applied to myBall which allows it (and its children) to be dragged and dropped. Within the base class on mouse down, along with startDrag, the movieclip is being brought to the top index. I would like to be able to refer to this movieclip in my document class. The point of doing this would be to apply a function to the last clicked movieclip (finding what movieclip was last clicked would happen by applying the function to the movieclip (myBall) with the highest index).[code]...
