ActionScript 3.0 :: Children Access From An External Swf?
Jul 25, 2011
I'm trying to access the childrens from an external swf previous loaded. This swf is a movieclip exported as swf which has two movieclips inside also.It loads the movieclip, but when I try to access to his childs, there is no one. What I'm doing wrong? I'm missing something when I export or load in AS3? I'm loading the swf as:
itemLoader = new Loader();
itemLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, itemLoaded);
itemLoader.load(new URLRequest("path"));[code].....

I have a Sprite called pageContent. Inside pageContent are 12 more Sprites with unique names, a couple of Buttons, and some TextFields. Inside each of the 12 Sprites I have either one or two TextFields and one TextInput. My question is, since they are children inside a child of pageContent, how can I access them? Here is how I am trying to do it:
[Code]...
In my mind, this should totally work. But surprise, surprise, it doesn't. I have debugged it and it works fine for the first two lines, but when it tries to get numChildren of a Child of pageContent (line 3), I get this error: PHP Code: 1119: Access of possibly undefined property numChildren through a reference with static type flash.display:DisplayObject.

I have a Canvas which has many components inside it and those again, have many components inside them.
getChildren() returns only the top level children. What is the best way to retrieve all the children (children of children of children and so on).
Well, I sorta know how to do this by iterating through the children, but the code is really messy. I'd prefer to use a nice recursive function. Has anyone written this before? Or is there a Util class to do this?

I have a simple class to create some buttons:
Code:
package {
import flash.display.*;[code]....
brings up "access of possibly undefined property" I do have other mcs etc within that container which don't have a ref but also trace (this.container.getChildAt(5).ref) doesn't work and I know number 5 is one of the ones that does have a ref.How do I use the ref to target the buttons.

Does anyone know if its possible to access children elements in a SWC? I have created some MC's and inside of some of these MC's I have some dynamic textFields. I export the content to a SWC and load it into my Flex project. No problem loading it or accessing the parent elements, they display fine. But I want to access the textfields nestes in the MC's and modify the text. When I debug the app, I can see the textfields as child elements. It's typed as a TextField and the Instance Name is the same as input in the Flash IDE but I cannot access it. When Flex compiles it throws an error saying it doesn't recognize the method. I've tried to insert actionscript on the timeline, linked external classes and nothing can be accessed.

I have multiple MCs which im creating and storing them into arrays for access. Whilst I create these MCs, I am also putting bitmaps inside them. When I access my MCs later, I wish to access these bitmaps too - but I cant seem to write the syntax to reference them.
Code:
//within my loop
mcs[i] = this['mc'+i];

There is a lot of code that I have but here is snippet to get to the point. I have created a Movicelip called via actionscript called "McButton". Then I created 10 MovieClips within that MovieClip ("McDot0", "mcDot1", etc). I need to know how to access mcButton.mcDot3 to change its color when button3 (mc already on stage) is clicked but can not figure it out.[code]...

How do access all of the children of a DisplayObject using code? (I'm looking for something like movieclip.children)
I'm using this in two cases:
1) To loop through and reposition all of the children of an enclosing MovieClip.
Or
2) To loop through and delete all of the children of a MovieClip

I've got a Flex 3 application with an HTTPService returning an Atom feed. I catch the result from it and store it in an arrayCollection which is then the provider of my Datagrid. I have no problem accessing the data from the "first-level" of my Array, but cannot go under it. Not very clear, so here is some code:
My XML [part of it]:
<entry>
<title>Test 2</title>
<id>http://collaboration.*****.com/collaboration/messaging/feeds/****/todo//7D6637D3E86B3ED3C12575B***8479</id>
<link rel="alternate" href="notes:///C12575B4004***8
[Code]....
The "title" column shows the data correctly, but the status column is empty ! When I launch my app in debug mode, I can see that my notesArray has the correct format and I can access todo -> status with the value..

I'm trying to load a SWF I created with Flash CS4 into Flash Builder with the SWFLoader class, but I can't seem to access the loaded SWF's children. Everytime I try to change the property of a child it'll ignore it.
I tried loading the SWF with the Loader class, but it doesn't allow me to add it to the stage. How can I load the SWF and access it's children?My code atm (m is a child of the loaded SWF (SWFToLoad)):
ActionScript Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<s:Application xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"

I would like to pre-process *any* item added to the display list of my main movie clip, so I attached the Event.ADDED event to the stage.
Seems to be working fine for timeline objects and objects loaded from the library (such as addChild(newClass())).
But I don't know how to manage stuff loaded from an external SWF. I'm getting Event.ADDED when I addChild() the loaded swf, but not for its children...
How can I know who are they children? (avoiding ENTER_FRAME if possible).

I am trying to access a function in a loaded swf that has external class.. I would like to avoid having to put the function on my "Main" Doc class in the external swf and instead access the function directly from the class
This is what ive tried so far and it's a no dice:
private function startLoad(){
var loader:Loader = new Loader();
var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest("one.swf");

Newbie to XML here and I have what I *hope* is an easy problem, but I just don't know the answer. And as I have to try and show this by Monday, I'm sort of stuck. I am trying to pull in information about houses via an xml file. Each house has 1 address, 1 owner, 1 description, and about 6 photos. I have no problem accessing the address, owner, etc, and I can always access the first photo, but whenever I cycle through the photos, I seem to cycle through the first photo for every house, not every photo for each house.
Basically, I need the children <images> to go up by one, without the the parent going up by 1. I am hoping I am describing this well. My code looks like this:

for some reason STORAGE[0].getChildAt(0) works whereas liner.getChildAt(0).getChildAt(0) does not. STORAGE is a movieclip and a child of liner. the error is something about not being able to use getChildAt on a display object. what's wrong? is there any other approach i could use? PS: liner.getChildAt(0) works and does indeed seem to refer to STORAGE[0]

Access Objects from a external .swf i loaded a flash mx movie into a flash 8 movie, and now i need to detect if a button of the loaded movie is pressed but i simply dont know how.
i used:
Code:
var news_mcl:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
news_mcl.loadClip("source.swf", newscontainer_mc);
to load the movie, and i have a movieclip inside it with the instance name "read", and i need the code to put in the parent movie (the flash 8 one) to detect a onRelease on that "read" movieclip.

So I have a class that reads from an external XML file, and it works great. (uses RLRequest and complete event listener)I have functions in it to read certain parts of the file.Im trying to create a new instance of that class in my document class. I am able to do this, BUT because the XML class loads the file, and uses a complete event listener to load it, anything I try to access (var or function) come up blank because it fires before the file is done being loaded.Id like to be able to do something like this.
Code:
var prefs:XMLClass = new XMLClass();
var localcolor:uint = prefs.color; (access the public variable color)

I've a website in which i have a menu that handle some external swf.My Problem is that when i've clicked on one section of the website and then i click on another menu button to gain access on another section i wanna to make an "go out transition" for the current loaded section. This transtion must be different for every website section, so for this i'm going to create a "go out transition" in every external swf class that i have for every section.Now my question is: How can i access from the main class to every single classes of the section to obtain the properly "go out transition" ?
