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
View 2 RepliesI cant access to var in parent movie from class in child.I have two swf's: parent.swf and child.swf. In parent.swf in frame 6 is:
Code:
stop();
var TestVar:String = "hello!";[code]....
I was trying use parent, parent.parent, parent.parent.parent etc. and any result - null object error.
The name of my DocumentClass is Main. So, what's the difference between :
var myClass:Main = new Main();
var mcInLibrary:MovieClip ;

I have this function in the parent class:
ActionScript Code:
private m_colors:Array;
protected function set colors(clrs:Array):void {
m_colors = clrs;
}
Then, in my child class I want to call this as:
super.colors = [15, 255];
But it throws an error, it says:
Ambiguous reference to colors. If I do the same with a common function, not a setter one, then just calling it with its name in my child class works fine.
I have an older program that I need to update. In it I there is a movieclip that displays text. Embedded in that movieclip is a timer that makes the text disappear after a few seconds. Everything worked fine before when I was using flash to put the clips on the stage. Now I need export the symbols and use addChild to display them. My problem is that the timer is starting when I assign the clip to the variable (frame 1), not when I need it to; which is after I add the child (frame 70-ish). If I were starting over there is probably a million simple solutions to this, but I am trying to not rework everything I already made to fix this seemlingly small problem.

i have problem with swfLoader in flex, when i close following code in click method i can easly add many swf to main application

public function doIT():void

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 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 am slightly confused about the parent and child relationship. lets assume we have several different instances, what would be difference of adding them all as children of the stage and creating a parent-child hierarchy between them(other than the access path).
View 5 RepliesI have a picture on the stage that has multiple items that have hotspots/links over them that should open a child swf on top of the background and show details about the items. then have a button in the child swf itself that removes the child from over the background so the user can click on another item etc.I found this code in someone's post and I am trying to modify it so that works for multiple swf files...it currently works for a single swf.I wan to pass the name of the button in front of the .swf in the URLRequest to have the same name as the instance name of the referring button. But I can't figure it out. Here is the code I am using on the stage
View 2 RepliesHowever, either I'm declaring my variables at the wrong bit/way or there is another problem, as I have been able to add the child I want to from the display list (sidepoint: is it right to call the display list everything in the library on stage at runtime plus those things you have exported for actionscript usage??!)...but when I want to remove it at the next cuepoint nothing happens. I feel this is a basic principle that is alluding me here.
Code:
vid.addEventListener(MetadataEvent.CUE_POINT, cueText);
function cueText(e:MetadataEvent): void{

My problem is i had 2 swfs parent.swf and child .swf and i loaded the child.swf file in parent.swf using Loader class there is a textbox and a button in child.swf when we enter text in the textbox(say,notepanel_txt) and click on the button(say, mySubmit) the text present in textbox(notepanel_txt.text) is saved in the database using URLLoader and an variable called success(which is String type) must be available to parent. the code is as follows:
parent.fla

I would like to ask on how do you access a child's function in AS3 I have tried "ChildMovieClip.childfunction();" so far it does not work.
View 3 RepliesParent swf loads a Child Swf. Button on Child swf closes child swf and dispatches event to Parent Swf to listen for to remove the child swf from the stage. Here is the code on the Parent swf that does that:[code]function within the child swf is still going on... this function randomly calls different sounds and I can still hear those sounds!How can I stop this function?
View 1 RepliesI've encountered what seems to be a race condition between a parent and its child movie clips, but I don't know what to do to fix it. The parent movie clip is on the stage at compile-time, and the clip contains a number of children. In the parent's constructor function I have the following code
for(var i in this){
if(this[i] instanceof MovieClip){
this[i].hval = this[i]._x;
$tItems.push(this[i]);
this[i].subscribe(this);}}
I'm able to give every child an hval property and push it into $tItems, but the call to the child's subscribe method fails every time. It's as though the child's functions haven't been loaded because the children haven't yet realized that they're members of a class that have a subscribe function. I set up a button to test this function call manually and when I do it that way I succeed in calling the subscribe method in all the children, so it really seems to be some sort of race condition. How can I overcome this?
I have uploaded a ZIP file that includes the following files:
- main.fla
- child.fla
You can download to review my code (very small 16kb): http:[url]...........This simple example has a main SWF file that loads a child SWF using the dynamic loader method. Below is the code in the main.fla file:
Code: Select all/*
MAIN SW
*/
import flash.net.URLRequest;[code]........
how do I get both parent and child SWFs to communicate with each other dynamically (to be able to call functions from each other, or pass variables)?
I have a movieClip with one frame on the timeline containing one child whose instance name is "myContent"I am using this function to swap "myContent" with any number of possible class instances.

I've used this site as a resource leading up to this, not particularly sure if I worded this correctly I have a class "Block" which is just a square (will be something else later on in the process) I want each block to have controls to add an additional block in either direction so I have another class BlockButtons which has my buttons for each direction.
And another class GlobalVar where I keep all my variables for funsies

MC_Core_design was created in Flash and exported to Actionscript. I've done this for button_1 class aswell. The code was written using Flex. When I comment out both lines that result in error I get correct view of the core Movie clip with all subobject. How can I set subobject properties right after object creation?
The package code below is directly out of the Adobe flash help system: It works fine as an external .as file. However, I want to add some buttons from the library. I haven't been able to add another child, no matter where I put the code. I also tried putting the code to add a button in the internal movie frame script, but when I put ANY script there, I get this error "1180: Call to a possibly undefined method addFrameScript." The add button script, where Sub1_Btn has been exported for Actionscript and set up as a class in the buttons property window.

I am currently working on a project that has me adding and removing a notepad that is a movieclip. Initially, I put the notepad to the outside of the stage and just moved it in with a button click, but now I want to make it so that it appears and disappears from the stage.
I tried the following code and kept getting a 1010 error. Property undefined for "addNotepad".
I'm exercising scripting and struggling with adding a child to a object when the creation of the child is wrapped in this function
function makeBox():void {var box:Shape = new Shape;box.graphics.beginFill(0x66FF00);box.graphics.lineStyle(5, 0x6600CC);box.graphics.drawRect(mouseX, mouseY, 50, 50);addChild(box);}
Now I want to add the above shape as a child to this object
var Clip:MovieClip = new MovieClip;addChild(Clip);
if the first code was not a finction I have no problem to add the child by Clip.addChild(box); but I cant figure out how to use it if it is as a function.
I'm not talking about removing a child by simply using the removeChild(); method, but a more complicated (I think) way. For example, If a add a 'box' MovieClip with addChild, and I have a 'close' button inside the 'box' MovieClip, I want the 'box' MovieClip to disapear when I press the 'close' button. I tried
Code:
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, onEnterFrame);
function onEnterFrame(event:Event):void {

I have a MC with a sprite in it. I give it a wee tween
Tweener.addTween(mainImageBox, {height:355, time:1, delay:1, transition:"elastic"});

The child (loaderAnimationMC) is all scaled up, is there a way to prevent this?
I am adding a child to the stage in my first swf

in my next.swf, I have a button which I want to remove the donkey with::
Code:
removeChild(donkey);
OK - doesnt work - it doesnt let me export the swf anyhow because the next.swf has no 'reference' to donkey existing at all. What's going on?
