ActionScript 3.0 :: Closing Child SWF File With A Button
May 6, 2010
I've been looking for hours on how to solve this seemingly minute problem. I've found tones of forums discusing this similar problem but for some reason I just can't get it to work. I have a flash website that uses a root.swf and each section of the web page loads a child swf onto the root. One of these sections I have a picture that loads in another child swf. We'll cal that picture.swf. This picture I want to have a button to close it and return to the previous page.

I have been going crazy over this! I have an Air (2.6) app which, when running opens up a pop up NativeWindow, to handle alerts.
public var _alertWindow:NativeWindow;
_alertWindow = new NativeWindow(windowOptions);
_alertWindow.stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE;
_alertWindow.stage.align = StageAlign.TOP_LEFT;
[code]....
I have had no problems with this across all platforms. But in Windows7, when right click on the taskbar and selecting 'close-window' only closes the main app and not its child NativeWindow. ( This keeps the app running in the background - so when a user tries to access it again it does't run ) I have tried adding event listeners like Event.CLOSING, and various other methods but have failed.how to close windows from the 'close window' option in windows7.

This is a new, legal installation of Flash CS5 running on MacBook Air. Here are the file management problems I'm experiencing:
1) files are excrutiatingly slow to open, close, save, and switch between
2) I currently have a series of about 15 files open and I'm trying to close them - I click "don't save" but the files won't close - it's like I've clicked cancel. I have removed the external media these files were originally on, but if not trying to save the file, why can't Flash just close them and make them go away?

I am trying to close a movie clip that I loaded from the library to the main stage using the flowing code....
navhelp_btn.onRelease = function() { attachMovie("navhelp", "holder_mc", this.getNextHighestDepth(), {_x:195, _y:135});}
The navhelp_btn is located on the main stage and the navhelp movie is in the library and gets loaded to an emty mc on the main stage holder_mc. I want to close the navhelp movie using a close button that I created and is housed in the navhelp movie.

I am making a flash application and I am trying to find function to use when I press the close button of the projector window. I dont want to make a button that uses fscommand("quit") since this would be impractical knowing that a default close button on the window is already available. Anyway the purpose of the function is that when I close my application, a dialog box/message would appear as a reminder that some data has not yet been saved and give the user an option to save or quit the application.

I have a picture on the stage that has multiple items that have hotspots/links over them that should open a child swf on top of the background and show details about the items. then have a button in the child swf itself that removes the child from over the background so the user can click on another item etc.I found this code in someone's post and I am trying to modify it so that works for multiple swf files...it currently works for a single swf.I wan to pass the name of the button in front of the .swf in the URLRequest to have the same name as the instance name of the referring button. But I can't figure it out. Here is the code I am using on the stage

I have the need to change a variable in a child Flash file.
The setup is a parent Flash file, that has called a child Flash, and placed it in a movieClip.
I can send a variable using Javascript to the parent Flash file, but not directly to the child Flash file. Is there a way that I can access the child Flash file directly with Javascript?
Or do I need to send the variable to the parent Flash file, and then have the parent send the variable to the child Flash file? Is there a sort of dot notation that I can use with Javascript to get to the child Flash file without first accessing the parent, when the child is added to the parent using the loadClip function in flash?

1) Basically, I have my controls on the main timeline. From here, I have a movieclip. I now want to spawn a Child within this movieclip, through actionscript, that is capable of being a button. How would I do this, and how would the eventlistener look?
this.mc_1.mc_2["step"+String(i)].addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, stairs, false, 0, true); Did not work.
2) Also, how can I have a button within a movieclip within a movieclip? (mc_1. links into the movieclip, but I need to link one deeper, and doing mc_1.mc_2. doesn't work)

I have a main swf that loads another swf with a close_btn. I want to be able to click the close button and unload the child swf.
PHP Code:
contact_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, contactClick);
function contactClick(event:MouseEvent):void {
var businessMC:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
[Code].....
As of now it just says a term is undefined which leads me to believe I am targetting the button incorrectly

I want to ask if someone can give me an example of creating child through xml. I mean creating custom components through xml (for every xml tag you create your own custom component and then add it as a child to the stage). I hope is it clear enough... :)

Using AS3. I have in my code a button to stop and remove the swf, but I would like to have in addition to unload a child swf when it plays it's last frame automatically - not using a button.
Here is my code on the main timeline:
var loader:Loader;
var closer:close;
norton_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, NortonDemo);
function NortonDemo(e:MouseEvent):void {
[Code] .....
Now, what do I need to add or change to this code and add to the code on the last frame of NortonDemo to accomplish what I want to do?

I have used AS2 for a while but the movie gets very slow when thousands of objects on the stage. I would like to turn to AS3 for better performance. My basic symbol is a MC consists of a button and a text field. Can I change it from Movie Clip to Sprite? I read a document that says "Sprites serve as containers that can be filled with shapes, images or text. "... Could someone tell me if the Sprite can also be the container for button?

i've gone over and over this for about a week now, and no luck. here's the deal. on the top level mc called "Scene 1" i've got links to the child pages as so:
Code:
on (release) {
_root.contentHolder.myHeight = 826;
_root.contentHolder.newLoc = 10;
heightAnimation();
}
myHeight adjust the footer to drop down to fit the height of the mc
newLoc is the frame # in the contentHolder mc
these work perfectly.
my issue is i've now got a button in the contentholder mc, not the main mc, that i need to do the same two functions. since the actionscript that these call lives in the main mc i assumed i could just use _parent:
Code:
on (release) {
_parent.contentHolder.myHeight = 826;
_parent.contentHolder.newLoc = 10;
heightAnimation();
}
this does not work.
i've tried several ways to make this happen, and no luck. if the buttons on the main mc all work great and call the new page mcs, then why won't the button in the child mc work?

I am having issues trying to get a simple button to make the playhead jump to a certain frame when pressed. I have the main timeline and then have a movieclip which has buttons inside of it and actionscript applied in the movieclips timeline. Is this a no? That is should all actions go on the main timeline? If this is so then does anyone know why I keep getting an error that it can't find the instance named button inside the movieclip?
portfolioButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_ DOWN, mouseDownHandler);
function mouseDownHandler(event:MouseEvent):void {

I am trying to make a "Achtung! die kurve" - like game in Actionscript 3.0. So far I've done the movement of one of the 'worms', and it works alright. I wanna divide it into different class files, but I can't seem to get it to work. I have a .fla file and 4 .as files. So far I only have code in two of these. When I put all my code directly into the fla file, it works perfectly fine, but when I put it into my player class, it won't 'add the child' to the stage. Here is my player .as file: [URL].
The reason why I commented the addChild, is because I wanna do this in my mainFile.as. This is from the main file: [URL]. I'm not quite sure how to call it in the main file, so I'm guessing that this would be the issue. All the files are named and placed correctly in the same folder, and flash says that each of my .as files are targeting the .fla file, so this doesn't seem to be the issue. How I can change the speed of my sprite.

I'm receiving this as an output error, when trying to use a "close button" I created for a lightbox that tweens in after the user clicks all_1thumb:
ArgumentError: Error #2025: The supplied DisplayObject must be a child of the caller.
at flash.display::DisplayObjectContainer/removeChild()
at testportfolio_fla::All_mc_2/closePop().
The lightbox populates with the correct image but the close button doesn't. Here is the entire script:

//Portfolio SubnavArt_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, goViewAll);
function goViewAll(event:MouseEvent){
