ActionScript 3.0 :: Accessing A Loaded Swf?

Jun 1, 2011

I'm using this code to bring in another swf into a movieClip called "movieLoader":
 
var myLoader:Loader = new Loader();
movieLoader.addChild(myLoader);
var urlMovie:URLRequest = new URLRequest("movie1.swf");
myLoader.load(urlMovie);
 
The movie loads just fine, but how do I access it?
 
I tried:trace(movieLoader.totalFrames);
 
and it just gave me "1".  I know the movieclip has more than 1 frame.What do I do to access the swf called "movie1.swf" I just brought into that movieClip?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Accessing Loaded External Swf?

Mar 30, 2009

I am using a zoom component which i purchased recently to load different external swfs on different button clicks. But instead of loading separate external swfs I would like to load a single swf and go to frame labels - "one", "two", etc. - I've been reading about casting the external swf as a movie clip, but I am confused how this would work with the code I have at the moment.

var image:String="introlocal.swf";
function loadContent () {

ActionScript 3.0 :: Accessing A Variable Loaded From Another Swf?

Sep 15, 2008

I have a problem accessing a variable loaded from another swf. Actually the variable is a singeltone class, which needs to be initialized.It has structure presented in the last part of the message.The project has the following structure:

- main.swf - this loads all the other swf files and is their holder.

- assets.swf - contains some common elements and initializes the SingleTone class

- interface.swf - contains some interface elements and needs to use the SingleTone class

- all the three swf files have access to a common class structure, where the SingleTone class is defined.

Now, the problem I have is accessing the SingleTone class from the interface.swf file. If I try to send the SingleTone.singleTone. property parameter to the class I get "Type coercion failed: cannot convert from ClassName@.. to ClassName". If I try to access the SingleTone class directly from the interface.swf file i get "Cannot access a property or reference of a null object...". Both errors I get seem logical:

- if I send a parameter, I send the reference to that object, but the interface.swf file does not have access to the assets.swf domain;

- if I try to access the SingleTone class directly from the interface.swf file, I get the null error because the class is not initialized over the interface.swf domain.

Is there any work arround? I know a simple solution may be to initialize the variable over the interface.swf domain, but what if there is a variable that can only be instantiated in the assets.swf? Can I access that variable from another swf, or can I change the ApplicationDomain?

Flex :: Accessing Root Of Loaded Swf?

Mar 4, 2012

I have a SWf application built in flex 4. One part of the application relies on accessing a public variable ("step1") set at the application root, and is accessed with

var app:Object = FlexGlobals.topLevelApplication;
trace("step one is "+app.step1);

This, while not optimal, has worked fine. Now, hoever, I need to load this entire application into another application, and I can't figure out how to access my step1 variable any longer.I have been loading the swf into the new parent application like so:

public var myLoader:Loader = new Loader();
public var pizzaContainer:UIComponent = new UIComponent();
private var myUrl:URLRequest = new URLRequest("chickensoup.swf");

ActionScript 3.0 :: Accessing Variables In A Loaded Swf

Jul 1, 2009

I am creating a flash program to open other flash programs (load swf files), and change their textfields to my own extended textfield class. This is to capture all text written to screen using a textfield object. Here is what I am doing:

1. If a textfield has been created, the event is captured

2. I want to replace the textfield with my own class extending textfield

*3. Any further access to the original textfield for value changes can be captured, and would update the replaced extended textfield object

The problem is if in their original code, at sometime, the text value of textfield is changed (mainly through textFieldObj.text = some_value) , I don't know how to capture this event.

This cannot be captured by event.CHANGE which requires the user input (ie: keyboard strokes) into the actual text field and changing the text through the code: textFieldObj.text = some_value does not trigger the event.

Here is a simplified example:

// FlashMovie.fla START -------------------------------------------
// any DisplayObjects (such as a created textfield) created will be captured
// by ChildAdded()
this.addEventListener(Event.ADDED, ChildAdded);

ActionScript 3.0 :: Accessing MC Children By Name On Loaded SWF

Jul 14, 2010

Im loading SWFs into my AS3 application. My SWFS are all the same and contain this structure:

root
-item
--color
--overlay

When i load up a SWF file into AS3, This is analogous to the root. So i can say:

[Code]....

I have tried everything i can think of to access this second depth by instance name. Whats wierd is that MovieClip(loadedSWF.item).numChildren returns 2. So Flash knows that theres 2 MovieClips inside of item.... But it just cant reference them by instance name. Since loadedSWF.item works, i assumed that loadedSwf.item.color would work too.

EDIT: I seem to be able to access the MC via getChildAtIndex(0); However this isnt ideal because it create a rule for the designer that he must follow a layering order. Id prefer to do it by name.

Actionscript 3.0 :: Accessing Variables Of A Loaded SWF?

Jan 12, 2011

I'm having a SWF call functions from another SWF loaded in the first one with the Loader class. There are no problems as long as the target SWF does not contain any TLF TextFields created on stage by authoring time interface. As soon as I place a dynamic textfield on the stage of the loaded SWF, the main SWF (the loader) fails to call any of the functions within the SWF that is being loaded.Static text does not seem to present problems and neither do TextFields created via ActionScript.Also, is it possible to access variables of the parent SWF?

ActionScript 2.0 :: Accessing Variables In A Loaded .swf?

Dec 5, 2003

I am having a problem accessing variables in a loaded flash movie.

As my understanding goes (someone please correct me if I am wrong), if I load a flash movie into a parent movie (i.e. 'loadMovie("myMovie", emptyClip);'), I should be able to access the loaded movie's variables using dot-syntax.

As an example, say I have two movies: MainMovie.swf, and SubMovie.swf. SubMovie.swf contains a (global) variable called someText. After loading SubMovie into an empty movie clip called "emptyClip", MainMovie.swf should be able to access the aforementioned variable by saying "emptyClip.someText", right....? Well, when I try this I keep getting an undefined value for the variable.

and that's it, I can add it then to stage then.

I'm loading swf file from a server. For some reason i can't access movieclips that are not instantiated on the first frame, more than this - all movieclips that are not instantiated on the first frame and have some animation inside of them, won't stop looping, like there is no stop() action inside, but it is there. And even more than this - everything works fine when i'm using other server. Both servers have crossdomain.xml file that looks the sameI don't get no crossdomain errors and no other warnings.

CS3 : Accessing Data Loaded From External Textfile?

Mar 3, 2010

I'm trying to load data from an external textfile, called "config_flash.txt". It works perfectly if applying the fetched data is done within the same function where the loading is done. However, I would like to use the fetched variables in other parts of the script.

Here's what works:

Actionscript Code:
var varLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader(new URLRequest("config_flash.txt"));varLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,

[code]...

So, basically I want the variables/values defined inside the function to be available anywhere in the script. The error that the second code snippet causes is as follows: "1120: Access of undefined property text1/text2".
