ActionScript 3.0 :: Accessing Stage Items, Through A SWF File Which Is Loaded Inside The Stage

May 14, 2011

- I have A.fla.

-  A.fla includes buttons, movie clips and also B.swf is loaded in A.fla using a LOADER

- i want to access elements in A.fla, from the actionscript codes inside B.fla to modify those movie clips and buttons based on actions going on in B.swf
 
for instance, lets say there is a button X in A.fla, and there is a button Y in B.fla,  B.swf is loaded into A.fla, and I want the button Y to erase button X when clicked.
 
general question:  accessing elements in a stage, through a SWF file loaded into that stage.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Accessing Stage Items While Main Class Inheritance?

May 5, 2011

I'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 :: Restrict Items Inside Mc To Stage

Nov 23, 2009

As this involves assorted dragging interactions to understand this explanation take a look at the file.URL...it should work like the last item on this page, called exploring kite interactive Url...I have a mc which includes 5 dots that can be dragged in various ways.each one needs to be limited to the stage area when it is being dragged.The limit should only apply to the dot when being dragged. If a dot being dragged causes another to exit the stage area that is fine.I have tried a few ways, none work too smoothly.One issue is that a dot which stops dragging at the edge can be hard to pick again.Another issue is that if you drag really fast you can drag a dot offstage. This is usually when the top or bottom dot is dragged quickly from where it has stopped at the edge and the mouse is released just outside the stage.FLA is attached.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Running Before Stage Items Are Loaded?

Mar 11, 2009

I have instances of items on the stage, on various labelled frames. I have an actionscript class that uses gotoAndStop('framelabel') to move forwards and back. When using the IDE this works perfectly.

However, when I view the swf on its own, or in a HTML page, I get the error:

Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.

If I use a timer to create a delay between gotoAndStop and trying to reference the items it also works fine. So it seems that when using gotoAndStop, the actionscript is trying to access the items on stage before they have been added to the display list.

Is there a way to force Flash to load the display list of the frame it's stopped at before trying to access those items? Surely it should load the stage instances before running the actionscript?

Below is an example of the script

Code:
private function goThree(e:MouseEvent = void):void {
Main.root.gotoAndStop('Three');
var btnMinus:SimpleButton = Main.root.getChildByName('btnMinusThree') as

ActionScript 3.0 :: Stage Items On The Timeline As Opposed To Inside A Container Swf?

Dec 27, 2010

I have an AS2 .fla with all of my stage items on the timeline as opposed to inside a container swf. I must chose Center vertical and Horizontal options in the HTML alignment options when publishing in order for my movie to be perfectly centered in the middle of the browser. I would like to have a FULL Browser Background Image, however when I try using the following code, my background ("bg") does not fill the entire browser.

what I am doing wrong and if it is even possible to have a full browser background image while still using CENTER alignment in the HTML publish settings? I have tried the following code with and without the Stage align settings and with the xy coordinates centered-still no luck!

bg.Stage.align = "TL";
Stage.scaleMode = "noScale";
bg._width =Stage.width;
bg._height =stage.stageHeight;
bg.x = 0;
bg.y = 0;

ActionScript 3.0 :: Accessing Stage Of Externally Loaded Swf?

Jul 22, 2009

I am loading an SWF created in Flash CS4, using the 3d translation tool.The SWF is being loaded into an application being build in as3 in flex builder 3.I can manage to load the movie however the stage has disappeared. All of the objects that exceed the boundaries of the (banner) remain visible instead of being cropped by the stageI attempted to mask the swf before publishing which did not work, and I attempted to programmatically assign a mask once it was imported which also did not work.None of these options threw errors, in most cases they either had no effect whatsoever or the movie simply disappeareI've read numerous posts on this and the answers always seem to be vague.Based on my research I need to access the stage properties of the SWF being loaded, but am unsure how to go about it.Do I need to compile the movie, export a swc and add it to the build path for the project?Do I HAVE to use a document class for the SWF I want to load in order to access it?Do I need to add anything else to the source or build path for the project in Flex Builder?

Flash - Block / Prevent Loaded SWF From Accessing Loader Stage

Sep 29, 2011

I have two SWFs: a Loader SWF, and a Loaded SWF. I need to add the Loaded SWF to the display hierarchy, but I don't want to give it free access to the stage. It may, for instance, attempt to change the scaleMode, and I don't want that to happen. What are some good methods for restricting loaded content's access to the stage? I may, for instance, want to allow it to access the stageWidth and stageHeight, but not the scaleMode or align.

Additional Constraints. I can't change anything about the Loaded SWF. Both SWFs are in the local-with-file-system sandbox. These SWFs are both Flash Player 10, ActionScript 3, made in Flash Professional. Not AIR, not Flex. I'd love to be able to implement a proxy class or a getter to somehow intercept calls to the stage, but I don't believe there is any way to.

I don't believe, for example, that you can subclass the Stage class and use that subclass in place of the normal Stage object referenced by the stage property in all MovieClips. The stage property is read-only, so it can't be cross-scripted by the Loader to point to something different.

Flash - Accessing A Button Inside A Loaded Swf File?

Dec 28, 2011

I am trying to access a button inside an external swf file that I loaded. Problem is every time I try to access this button I get an error saying that it's null!

Here is my code:

public class DocumentClass extends Sprite
{
public var loader:Loader;
public var swfFile:URLRequest;

[Code].....

Now this should work, code-wise I think its correct. The problem is that loader cant find the required button. There is indeed a button in the loaded movieClip with an instance name of "button", I double checked that.

[URL] basically i was just a layer too high and this is why i couldn't access anything..

ActionScript 3.0 :: Flash Accessing Stage Instances From .as File Linked To A Movieclip

Aug 28, 2010

i've been all afternoon trying to figure out a solution to my problem, and I can't seem to find it, or cannot implement it. Let me lay it out for you: I have an actionscript file linked to a movieclip. (movieclip:skate class linked: generic_skate).I have it set up that way so I can create an array of skates easily (i'm using a for loop to create them), and each skate has its own attributes (name, description, price and the image that is supposed to go on the deck)In the stage, i have three text boxes, one for the price, other for the name, and another one for the description.In the generic_skate class, I'm handling all the mouse events (in this case mouseOver and mouseOut.

What i want to accomplish is: when the user hovers over a skate, the info shows up in the text fields and when he hovers out, the info goes away. My problem: Since I'm doing all the mouse interaction in the class file, my guess is that I have to access the stage to get to the text boxes that are placed there to change its info or somehow create a "middle" man to do all the handling.

Actionscript 3.0 :: Accessing Library Items From An Externally Loaded SWF?

Aug 11, 2009

I'm slowly working my way through AS3, and have a question about how to do this. In as2, you could just load a swf file, then use attachMovie("itemLibraryLinkageName");. I know in AS3 you have to use addChild() to add items to the display list, but how would you go about adding the library items to the stage from an externally loaded swf in AS3? I've tried:

Code: Select allvar library:MovieClip;
var loader:Loader = new Loader();
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onComplete);[code].......

ActionScript 3.0 :: Accessing Library Items In Loaded SWF From A SubClass?

May 6, 2010

how to access library items in the main SWF directly from a SubClass by doing this:
 
package{ import SubClass; public class Main extends MovieClip{public var mySubClass:SubClass = new SubClass;this.addChild(mySubClass); }//class }//package
 
package{ import Box; public class SubClass extends MovieClip { public function SubClass():void{var train:Box = new Box;this.addChild(box);}//SubClass constructor function }//class }//package

But how do I access library items of a loaded SWF in the same fashion? Importing is different from loading and I'm not sure how or where to piece instances together at runtime.

Actionscript 3 :: Accessing A Clip Inside Another Clip In A Loaded SWF-File?

Mar 1, 2010

I'm writing a card game in AS3. The artist I'm working with has produced (in Flash CS4) a single swf-file containing all the card graphics and animations. The structure of the fla working file looks something like this:

- Scene
- CardGraphics (Movie Clip)
- CardFront
- CardBack
- CardValueImage (Movie Clip)

In the program I create 52 instances of my Card class, each having a MovieClip instance created from the loaded swf. The idea is to set the frame of the CardValueImage MovieClip to correspond to the Card instance's suit and rank member variables. However, I can't figure out how I access CardValueImage and call gotoAndStop (or whatever method I will need to call).

Actionscript 3 :: Make The Actual Stage Dynamic To The Content Loaded In The Flash File?

Nov 9, 2011

I was wondering if there is a way to make the actual stage dynamic to the content loaded in the flash file.

Firstly the method I am using is importing a external swf to the stage into a container called container. The main stage, lets call it index, is still on default size, and I want this to expand dynamically as content is loaded in. page1 may be 900px width, page2 may be 500px width, and as I load the content the index stage should expand the width to that of the page loaded. Some steps I have tried but did not work.

if page1 button is pressed stage.stageHeight = 900; - not working (how do I set stage size in as3)made a movieclip in page 1 spanning the page size and called it p1_stage so I can reference the data from there. trace(container.p1_stage.height); gives this error: TypeError: Error #1010: A term is undefined and has no properties. at index_fla::MainTimeline/frame1()

ActionScript 3.0 :: Properly Remove Items From Stage?

Apr 8, 2009

In actionscript 2 if you wanted items on the stage to not appear to the user you would just use the onclipevent(load) and then move them, alpha them and so on. In as 3 I cannot figure out how to get the items off of the stage before the stage renders them. There's always a flash of the stage items and then they disappear. What should I use? I don't like the addChild method because it's impossible to design a site that way. I like all my items on the stage and then go from there...

ActionScript 3.0 :: Use The Debugger To Identify Items On Stage?

Jun 23, 2009

I have an app that uses several Loader objects to load extenral swf files. Things go well except for one point. I have a quiz element that's loaded through a loader named 'quiz'. When the quiz is done, I remove the quiz element with removeChild(quiz). The quiz disappears from the screen every time except for one question. I can't identify what's going on differently for that question. I've debugged this and can see that my quiz object is set to null, but I can plainly see the quiz still onscreen.

To further confuse me, I use the same loader object multiple times through the app, and just add it and remove it from the display list with addChild and removeChild. When my one problem question comes up and fails to go away, the app continues to the next question, and I can see that there are now 2 quiz objects stacked on top of each other. I have no idea how this can happen when I'm using the same loader object for all the questions.

Professional :: Can't Get Imported Library Items To Appear On Stage?

Oct 7, 2010

I am using the CS4 version and when I click on the library item and drag it to the stage, there is nothing there. It is just a blank canvas and it's like the image(s) are hidden behind the stage or something. When I do a Publish Preview, I can see the .swf file with all the images, but in the .fla, there is nothing showing but the text files, and then that is even hidden in a newly created file. I am not sure if I accidently turned something on/off that is preventing my images from not showing on the stage or what. I really need to find a solution to this problem because I need to create a Flash file for a project I am working on in one of my classes. Does anyone know what could be causing this? I have done Google searches and Forum searches to no avail unless I'm not using the right keywords in my search.
