I've got an AS3 swf that loads an AS2 swf using the Loader class. The AS2 swf has a component in it in which i need to assign a parameter to from the AS3 swf. [code]...
View 2 RepliesI'm creating a website template which has a navigation with links and 2 zones dedicated to load external contents.
Loading 2 external swf by clicking on a link is no problem but my question is :
I would like one of my external swf to contains links which could again reload external swf in the same two zones. How can I do that ? I'm working with document classes.
A little example :
ZONE A ---------- ZONE B
EXT SWF EXT ---- SWF WITH LINKS IN IT THAT RELOADS ANOTHER SWF IN
ZONE A ---------- ZONE B
if one can't communicate between mc's external classes how can you create stuff?I have a timer inside each instance form a bomber_mc via a external class:this timer places bom_mc's on the stage from the location of bomber_mc (there are several). But I want to do a do a collisiondetection test with each bom and yet another kanon_mc.can you give me a hint in the right direction?

I am building a highscore system for my site, and I was wondering how to communicate with classes that are included in an external swf that i've loaded in.
Basically, how does mindjolt do this:

I have created a online portfolio that loads in External swfs. Everything works fine on its own but once the external swf is loaded into the containing swf I lose control of the external swfs timeline. Is this a bug or is there just something I am forgetting

So when I click the send button it sends the message, but does not go to the next frame. It works on its own but won't work once loaded into another swf.
With normal Flash SWF's I use URLRequest to communicate with external servers/sites to send/retreive data from a database - pretty standard stuff. But can iPhone apps published from the CS5 environment communicate with external servers/sites?I'm still organising my development license for the iphone, so want to check before I fork out the money for the registration.
View 1 Repliesis there a way to communicate (transfer variables) from the timeline in flash9 to an external .as file? ive tried making a movieclip symbol in flash and making a external class file for it(and then linked the 2 together) but when i try to get code from the first frame in the timeline to work with variables in the actionscript class file, it doesnt work.specificly what im trying to accomplish is a menu that i can access to change variables while my movie is playing.

View 1 RepliesI am at the start of creating a large site with many different components: Basic text areas Latest projects with images / video Blog with text, images and video Secure login area to view protected projects
What would you recommend for this type of project. Throw all assets (main text area, blog, latest project etc) and separate them into their own mc's, then call them onto the stage? Or have them all external sepearate swf's?
I want to:
1) Place symbols on the stage manually in loaded.fla
2) Exclude these symbols from the swf because they will already be in loading.swf
So I:
1) Created a component.fla
2) Created a "comp" symbol in the fla
3) Turned that symbol into a component via Component Definition
4) Exported the comp.swz into Configuration/Components/MyComps
5) Opened up loaded.fla
6) Pulled the comp component onto the stage
7) Went to file AS settings and added Configuration/Components/MyComps to the External Library Paths
8) Compiled loaded.swf and played it
BUT the swf includes the comp component on the stage...which is NOT what I wanted. I only want the swf to work and have a reference to comp when it it loaded into loading.swf.Why haven't the classes in comp been excluded?Obviously this is a workaround for runtime shared libraries, which is unpredictable, time-wasting and generally painful. Is there a better way to retain WYSIWYG and share symbols? I don't want to do dynamic placing.
I'm new to Flex and am having trouble understanding Events. I think Events are what I want to use for my situation. I have 2 components, addUser.mxml and listUsers.mxml. I access these from a ViewStack in my main application. When I load listUsers.mxml it shows a list of current users in a datagrid via a HTTPService call. When I add a user using the form on addUser.mxml I would like the datagrid in listUsers.mxml to refresh when I return to that view to show the new user. I've tried several different things with addEventListener and dispatchEvent but can't seem to get it working. Can someone help me with this logic?

We are developing a Flash application based on Windows CE 6.0 R3 and the application is intended to work with Adobe flash plug in available in WinCE R3 Internet Explorer. Application need to communicate with middleware libraries written in C/C++. Flash screens uses Action Script 3.0. We would like to know how a Flash application (Action script program) can communicate with a native (C/C++) dll/lib?

The Flash site I am building includes an FLV video which is embedded into a SWF (SWF1),which contains the video control components. SWF1 is in turn loaded into another SWF (SWF2) after SWF2 is launched. After I leave the part of SWF2 which contains the video, the video and audio continue to play. You can still hear the audio after you have moved away from the SWF1 video.The SWF1 video is part of a set of mostly PNG images that slide like a slide show along the X axis. When I hit the forward arrow, the SWF1 video slides out to the left and a loaded PNG image slides in from the right and into view. But you still hear the audio from SWF1 and the video continues to play.All of the loaded SWF video (there are three total) and PNG images are loaded into the same movie clip.Question: How can I tell the FLV video embedded in SWF1 to stop playing once SWF1 has moved out of view? I would like SWF2 to tell SWF1 to stop the video.
View 2 RepliesI'm working on a game where the the engine is made in AS3, yet the interface is made in AS2. Basically I am embedding the GUI as a AS2 .swf into my main AS3 .swf. I want the AS2 GUI to be able to communicate with it's parent. Small Interface calls like Pause, Unpause, Upgrade.I tried to use External Interface, but I can't seem to get it to work. I know it's made for Javascript, but I thought that it would work just as well with AS2 to AS3.I'm able to edit the Interface file and have the FLA for it. It'd just be a real pain converting it... It'd take way to long to convert the FLA to AS3, talking weeks here, it's rather large.
View 3 RepliesI'm having a little issue with LocalConnection - trying to communicate from one SWF to another. From my main SWF I've loaded an external SWF of same dimensions ( effectively replacing the main SWF). What I wanted was then to re-load the main SWF, but rather than have the main SWF play from the start, I wanted to go to a specific frame instead (I used a frame label called "myMarker"). Thought LocalConnection was the way to go to achieve this. Gave it a shot and it all works well locally BUT when uploaded to server it doesn't work, but throws the following error:-

I have a large.swf that loads small.swf during the runtime. How do I call a function in small.swf from large.swf and vice-versa?

Is there any way to do this between two PCs, one PC running send.swf, controlling another PC running receive.swf? I checked adobe site for LocalConnection and it looks like this only works within one client PC.
View 2 RepliesI have written a flash program using AS3 which allows the user to build a picture of a product using a variety of options displayed in checkboxes. Very simply these checkboxes either make a layer visible or invisible in my flash movie and certain choices may change the list of options. This information is currently being supplied by XML. Once the user has built his product, I would like to be able to save his choices in a SQL Server database and also be able to download his options again at a later date and view these choices at the manufacturing plant.
So far I have tried using asp.net to write to the database and have got the information to the asp.net program by using the querystring, however there may be up to 50 options which does make a querystring rather unwieldy. Also I cannot seem to send back information from the asp.net page to my actionscript.Can anyone tell me how to do this or give me an example? I am supposing that I use the response.write function in asp.net but what command in AS3?I looked into the possibility of using a webservice but see that AS3 no longer supports this as all the functionality is in Flex. I have read about Flex but still do not understand whether

View 1 RepliesI need dozens of AS2 Flash swfs I wrote to communicate with an AS3 swf. My code below is on the "wrapper" AS3 swf, which loads the lesson1_activity3.swf AS2 swf. This is then further nested into an Adobe Captivate-generated swf (that's what the rdcmndNextSlide method is for).
This configuration works the first time you see the wrapper/child swf together, but if you navigate back to the slide, the child swf doesn't load. I'm guessing that Captivate has all the objects still stored in memory, so it thinks I'm trying to declare var again, which I can't do. Is that it? Does anyone see the issue with my code that would make it work the first time the wrapper is loaded, but not subsequent times?

I need to write or pass some variables from swf 1 to swf 2. This doesn't have to be done in real time and this is not going on a server believe it or not. All local. ie, swf 1 is the backend that sets variables for swf 2 to read. swf 2 can be started after swf 1 is done. Was thinking that swf 1 could write a text file and then swf 2 could read it... but was wondering if there was a better/easier way to do this? Also, swf 1 doesn't have to be a swf! If I could create an interface in html or something to allow the variable passing that would work too..
