I have a function that loads the movieclips from the library[code]...
But i CAN'T access the timeline where the code is from the instantiated movieclip (obj, obj2, whatever it is);
inside "apresentacao" movieclip I've tried to trace the parent and i get NULL.
I am trying to access a function that is on my document class for my AS3 project, from a nested class. That is, the Document Class calls Class A which then calls Class B. So I am trying to access a function from Class B, I am trying to use MovieClip(parent).function(); but I am getting error 1120. The MovieClip(parent) (fixed to reflect my document class, etc) works when I try it from other classes but not from this nested class.

I've struggled with this for a long time and have thrown in the towel. How the heck do you climb the ladder, then go back down again into another clip?
View 2 RepliesI have created an renderer to modify the content of one of the columns of the DataGrid.
Code:

but how can i access the parent DataGrid or anything outside of this class ? In Java it can be done, but how can i pass any value to this class.My use case is that i click on a delete button and the row is deleted, impossible to do if i cannot access the parent DataGrid and call methods to work with it.

View 1 RepliesWell- actually, my problem is a bit more abstract than this thread's title suggests..ere's the setup:I have a parent function (called "Game") with a couple of subfunctions.There is one subfunction ("Game.prototype.spawnBonus") that, as the name suggests, spawns a Bonus Item by duplicating a movieclip.The duplicate movieclip is created on "_root"-level and has an onEnterFrame attached to it that checks whether a certain stage is met (all this works).Now the problem is, when the case is met, I need to access a subfunction of "Game" and pass it the MC's ID to fade out the Bonus Item. Like so:[AS]Game.prototype.fadeBonus =
function(number) {
// just some stuff to fade out the MC with the number
// passed through the value "number". This works well,

I have a container with text and a button and an image.
When i Mouse over the button i want to be able to tell the text inside the container to change its TextFormat to another.
How do i tell the text to do so, i though it would be something within the MouseEvent like,
event.target.parent (someway to access other child).setTextFormat()
is their a simple way to access another child from within the same parent?

I want to load an external swf movie into the parent one using for example the UILoader component and I want it to have access only to one object of the parent (the main swf movie). I tried sth like my_uiloader.content.parent = null, but obviously it doesn't work as the parent property is read-only.

i was caught in the situation that i need the DisplayObject to access its parent.variable.
I have a Loader"B" was inside MovieClip"A"(with a variable"v") and i want called A.v like this:
Code:
trace(B.parent.v);
the above code is not working. and I need something similar. is it possible??
by the way, it has to be dynamic because i need to use it with function:
Code:
function doSomething (d:DisplayObject):void
{
trace(d.parent.v);

I have to access a function in child swf from parent swf. This child swf gets loaded into a canvas object in parent.swf. Everything works fine but I'm unable to call any function that was in child.swf. My code is
Code:
var swf1:SWFLoader = new SWFLoader();
swf1.source = "CHILD.swf";
can.addchild(swf1);
I read on google and then I tried this in parent.swf's code
Code:
var myrequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("CHILD.swf");
var myloader:Loader = new Loader();
myloader.load(myrequest);
canvas.addchild(myloader);
Now this one throws up a runtime error TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert flash.display::Loader@5934b01 to mx.core.IUIComponent.
I also tried this
Code:
var myrequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("CHILD.swf");
var myloader:Loader = new Loader();
myloader.load(myrequest);
[Code]....
But in this case my swf does not show up at all and there are no runtime errors too!
How do I resolve this error and how do I then access the function in child.swf?
Ok im rather new to flash so ill do best i can to describe this. I have a HealthBar movie clip with 3 layers, bottom layer is just a red rectangle, middle layer is a green rectangle that is a movie clip, and the top layer is just a border. the green rectangle movie clip has an instance name of bar. i put my HealthBar on my stage with an instance name of healthBar and i change it when the players health goes down by calling _root.healthBar.bar._xscale = health where health is 0-100.
this works all fine and dandy. now i have a movie clip of MiniBoss with an instance name of miniBoss# where # is a number of the layer depth when it is created. in the MiniBoss movie clip i have an instance of the HealthBar with an instance name of bossHealthBar. i tried to call from within the MiniBoss class bossHealthBar.bar._xscale = health but i get an error that there is no property of bossHealthBar.bar._xscale. how do i access the bar in the HealthBar in the MiniBoss clip from the MiniBoss class in its onEnterFrame() method?
Look at this example [code]...

Inspired by this Flex question, is it seen as better practice to dispatch an event back to the parent app, as opposed to calling a method on the instance of the parent app, from within a module? To me it seems that the module shouldn't know what methods are available at the parent, as such approach leads to tight coupling.
