ActionScript 3.0 :: Access Loader Properties From Fla?
Mar 9, 2010
Let me just start by saying this forum is awesome, over the past 3 years I've found nearly all of the answers to my AS questions without posting once... That streak ends today.I'm building a site where the client is going to be able to upload various backgrounds which load depending on which tab they click on.
The class is BigBackground.as. It does the loading of the backgrounds, and then in the .fla I would like to manipulate these "BigBackgrounds" starting with the width. However, even though the width traces correctly from BigBackground.as, the width traces to 0 from the .fla file. I can access width from the class, but how can I access the width & height from the .fla?[code]...
Main movieclip onstage is : design_mc. Within it is a movieclip already in place onstage with an instance name clipart_mc.also loading a ListBox to the stage and each time a selection is made from listbox myLoader9 is used to load selected .swf intodesign_mc.clipArt_mc.Now within each of the .swf files loaded into design_mc.clipArt_mc there is a mc ike to color transform called color_mc.So now the listbox is onstage and I make a selection that places heart.swf inside of design_mc.clipArt_mc. I want to access heart.swf so I did this:
var child:DisplayObject = myLoader9.content.contentLoaderInfo.content.color_mc; var colorTrans3:ColorTransform = new ColorTransform(); var trans3:Transform = new Transform(child);
this is so embaresing and my whole business is suffering from this[URL].. the key point in my TextArea class which extends TextField is to load external swf files and I use the .parent property of the Loader class to access the textfield... with the new security updates coming with 11.2 I cannot access the parent and the whole thing crashes to give you more insight:
imagine that we have file.swf being loaded into the project using the flash.display.Loader class. from the document class of file.swf, I can access the loader like this, all ok till here _loader = this.parent as Loader
[Code]...
every day that one of my clients updates their player to the new version, their website fails. I need to fix this a.s.a.p.
Through searching the various forums I have found that Loaders are not dynamic and hence you can not apply custom properties to each instance of them. I miss the old way (as2 way of attachingMovieClip) that you load dynamic content, at least you can apply custom properties, and you can always reference them for each object.
What I'm trying to do is load a group of Images via XML. Each one of those images have a set of information that is associated with them (name, description, etc). I have the images loading in and positioning just fine, however when trying to have a tooltip show the name on Mouse Over, I'm not able to achieve this...
In short. I want to be able to store information for each item so that I can access it. Is there a way to do this in AS3 with a Loader or is there another route I can go? If I do this with Arrays, how do I store the Index of the specific item so I can use that in reference to the position in each array?
There's a Loader that I'm filling with different images depending on the button clicked. Now to keep it tidy I'm using the exact same loader. The problem is that no matter what I do to the image, the next image loaded always get's the properties of the previous one. I've used unload and the Loader returns 0 in width and height, and still the next image get's the previous image's w/h. Othe attempts have been separating it from the parent container and taking it out of the display list, and also using an Event.UNLOAD to make sure the previous image is out before the loading of the new image.
Script is gonne kinda long, but the basics would be these,
BrowserLoad.unload(); BrowserReq = new URLRequest("ImageB.jpg"); BrowserLoad.load(BrowserReq);
[Code]....
I guess it's general question: how can i be sure the image previously loaded in a Loader will not affect the next one coming? (its width and height being 0 has not been enough...)

If so, how do I do so? ***
PHP Code: num = 0;var titleArray:new Array();function createImage(){ var thumb:Loader = new Loader; thumb.load(new URLRequest(url);
I have a holder movieclip on screen, then I create a loader, load an external SWF into the loader and addChild to my holder:
var bgloader1:Loader = new Loader(); [code].....
This all works. Now if I want to come back later on and alter the alpha or position I get an error:
//Neither of these work: MyHolder1.bgloader1.alpha=0; MyHolder1.bgloader1.content.alpha=0;

I want to bring an image in from a folder and then display this image in a specifically sized box.[code]So obviously I want the image loaded into a 200 x 200 box (the image is 1200x1200) and scaled proportionately. What do I need to do? The box won't resize at all.
I have a movieclip in the library with the linkage name:BackgroundClip, so in the constructor I create it, add it to the display list and can even access and modify its properties, which I tested with the x position. Now what im having issues with is getting the stage resize listener to adjust the BackgroundClip instance, bg, to the stages width and height. In the clip is an image, so if someone has a better way of using classes to create full screen liquid gui im all ears![code]
I have a getter within a class which is used to make my property skin:DisplayObject read-only. This class also has a property body:AvBody which is used to define the x y width height etc of the object, which in turn positions the skin.
What I want to do is disable access to the properties x and y on skin unless accessed from within the internal namespace (where AvBody is also located) Is this possible?
Note: I can't make skin any type other than DisplayObject (I can't even make skin a class that extends DisplayObject because it creates issues with library symbols).
I have a calendar where each day is a movie clip called 'day'.I use calendar1 movie clip as a parent to day, which means day is inserted into calendar1 using this line..the issue is that I can't access any of the checkbox properties, but all of the text properties as illustrated below.[code]
I need access to the properties of a file I load on the next line. Specifically, trying to pull the _height and _width off of it.
I think it's being bungled up because it's inside a function running two (nested) for statements. Let me post up the code for you geniuses[code]...
The width traces fine in the onLoadInit, but only AFTER the function that is creating and positioning the movieclips is finished running. They are nested in something of a complicated heirarchy so to save the widths in another array and then try to move them all later would be bonkers.
I'm new to as3 and I was trying to make my own slider for a while until I found the slider component. The slider component is so perfect for what I want to accomplish. But the size of the little graphics is ridiculous. If you click on the line that the slider knob is on top of the knob will snap to where you click. This is great but with only 3 pixels of height to click on it's pretty much useless. I tried going into the slider movie clip and altering the individual graphics but when I run the program the sizes are back to their teenie tiny size.
In my controls I have keydown events that control my hero. As of right now, I am trying to rotate my hero but he refuses to turn . Below is my Hero Class, my control class, and gameobject class. pretty much all the classes associate with the controls class.
I have 2 movieclips. One is a fairy flying up the stage. The other movieclip is a magic dust, which is originally designed to generate magic dust with onMouseMove event, based on the mouse's x & y. I want to change the the magic dust movieclip so it will generate magic dust following the fairy's movement.[code]...
I have an object on my stage, called obj.I also have a class called "Physics" which contains a bunch of methods for physics, such as inertia, gravity, and bouncing off walls. In order to do some of these,I need access to the stage.stageWidth and stageHeight properties.My code is as follows:
public function wallBounce(obj) { this.stageRef = stageRef[code]...
This is supposed to check if the object's x value is greater than the stageWidth or less than 0. When I run this code it says:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
I am a semi-newbie programmer who is completely self-taught and have no clue what is causing this. I spent a bit googling it, and I think it has something to do with scopes,.
If I have a swf that's being loaded into other peoples' swfs (which I have no control over) is there any way I can get properties from the stage (such as height, width, fullScreenHeight, etc.) or does this have to be exposed by the loading swf?
i have 10 movieclips mc1_mc-mc5_mc and coin1_mc-coin5_mc on stage i aded listeners in for lop tat is working.when i click mc1_mc i want to make coin2_mc-coin5_mc invisible and coin1_mc and if i press mc2_mc then coin2_mc should wil b visible others invisible.i used folowing code but when i click any movieclip every objects in stage is becoming invisible.
Code: for (var i=1; i<6; i++) { ["mc"+i+"_mc"]addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,clicked); }
I have the following AS3 code. I'm just beginning and have gotten on this since finding it here: (take out the spacesloadingData.phpNow, I find out that I cannot access the properties of the loaded movies because they are AS1 or AS2. converting this to AS2?
Code: import fl.containers.UILoader; var ar_movies:Array = new Array();
I am using flash CS3 with ActionScript 3.0. Suppose, I created a button component and a Combo-box component. Hence, SWF file consists of a Button and a Combo-box component. Now, my requirement is, How to access the instances and properties of these components(Button and Combo-box), so that I can create HTML webpages depending upon the Combo-box selection and the Button click events occurred on flash components? Here, we need to pass/send the flash components' instances to HTML. How can we do it? All I want is to access the flash components in HTML.
I 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.
