ActionScript 3.0 :: Accessing Main Stage Variable From Within MC
Apr 7, 2011From within a movie clip, I'm trying to update variables on my main timeline. I tried both _parent.variablename and _root.variablename, but neither worked.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Accessing Main Timeline Variable From Within A Class?
Dec 20, 2010I have a class, the relevant parts of which are defined as follows:
class myClass extends MovieClip {
public function myfunc() {
trace( "mainVar: " + _root.mainVar );
}
}
As you can see, I want to access the variable "mainVar", which exists in the main movie, from within the class. This works fine, if I have only one instance of the class. But, if I have more than one instance, within separate movie clips, the value of mainVar is always taken from the first instance. How do I refer to the actual instance from within the class?
ActionScript 3.0 :: Accessing A Class Variable In The Main Timeline?
Jun 2, 2011Here's my main class:
Code:
package
{
import flash.external.ExternalInterface;
[Code]....
Basically the class waits for the callback variable (my_msg). The problem is: I need to set the dynamic textbox text to my_msg variable.
How can I access it? I know I can access a public var in the timeline with functioname.variable but I can't define a public var inside a function, right?
ActionScript 3.0 :: Accessing A Main Timeline Variable From A Class?
May 18, 2010I'm was getting good with as2 but recently made the mind switch from, I'll learn as3 tomorrow to as3 is awesome. The problem for me is that I don't understand the scope for classes. I know I can trace a variable on the main time line when the var is declared in the class. But how do you access a main time line var from a class? Here's an example - main time line Monkey.fla
Code:
var cagedMonkies:int = 10;

ActionScript 3.0 :: Accessing Stage Instances From Within The Main Constructor Class?
Oct 26, 2009my movie is linked to an external class called game, and in the game cosntructor I am trying to access instances on my stage. I have tried MovieClip(root).instancename, root.instancename and even tried adding an event listener to listen when the movie is done loading because I thought maybe it was because the instances on the stage weren't created before the constructor is ran. This is the main class, shouldn't it be easy?
View 2 RepliesActionScript 3.0 :: Accessing Stage Items While Main Class Inheritance?
May 5, 2011I've made it this way1. I made clip and it's main class (eg. timeline.as) - at this point it works2. I put code from main class to another class (eg. timeline_template.as) and in main class (timeline.as) I inherit it by :public dynamic class timeline extends timeline_template {3. I added stage items declarations in timeline_template.as because without that any code couldn't reach target an I got 1120: Access of undefined property xxx after these steps whole clip works but items on stage ( buttons, etc. ) are not affected by code. That's logical because code references to properties declared in timeline_template but not in timeline.fla. But how to get around that - I need several usage of timeline_template and I would like to avoid code redundancy

Actionscript 3.0 :: Catch A Variable Content (set On The Main Timeline) From A Movie Clip Added To The Stage?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Accessing Main Timeline From An External .swf
Apr 29, 2010I'm definitely more designer than flash developer (as most of you might know. At least those that hang in the lounge or Arena). I need to know how to allow a loaded .swf file to control the main timeline in AS3.
I have a container .swf that includes global controls (jump menu/volume control) and branding. Loading a swf for the dialogue boxes (timeline animated ... although I realize there may be better ways to handle it). Another swf for a simcity-ish illustration that has animated elements with various states. I need all to be able to communicate with each other. I was able to load the movies no problem. Even communicate with the loaded ones from the main timeline. Just need to be able to go the other way.
ActionScript 3.0 :: Accessing Main Timeline From Loaded SWF
Mar 11, 2009I have a question about accessing functions or variables on the main timeline from a loaded swf. I know that there are a few ways to do this
1. Casting the timeline as a movie clip
Loader SWF Script
var testText:String = "Test";
var myLoader:Loader = new Loader();
loadData("loaded.swf");
function LoadData(aURL){
myLoader.load(new URLRequest(aURL));
addChild(myLoader);
}
2. Cast the timeline as a generic object
var parentObj:Object = this.parent as Object;
parentObj.unloadSWF("loaded.swf")
Why can you not just reference the main timeline of the container swf directly.
ActionScript 3.0 :: Accessing Main Timeline Variables From Within A MovieClip
Jun 13, 2009Let us say we have a movieclip "mc1" on the stage. We also have another movieclip "mc2" inside mc1. We have declared a variable, say, var number1:Number=5 on the first frame of the main timeline. Now we go inside mc1 and then inside mc2 and write some code on its first frame. Is there any way to use the variable number1 over here? Can properties of mc1 be altered using the code written here? In AS2, it could be done using the "_parent" command, but it doesn't seem to work in AS3. (when we use parent and try accessing a property, it says that it is possibly undefined)

ActionScript 3.0 :: Accessing Nested MovieClips From The Main Timeline
Jun 3, 2009I was trying to access some nested movieClips from the main time line but it was giving an error. What I have is a movieClip on the stage called "dog" and inside this movieClip I have two nested movieClips called "dogLH" and "dogRH". The movieClip "dog" was brought to the stage using actionscript 3.0 and when I tried to move the moveClips inside "dog" it gave me an error.
This is the code I have:
var dogog = new Dog();
dog.x =200;
dog.y =150;
[Code]....
What is strange is that if I add the movieClip "dog" to the stage manually and try the same thing it works. Any idea why it doesn't work when it is brought to stage with actionscript, but it works if I bring this manually?
