ActionScript 3.0 :: Cross Movie Global Dispatcher?
Jun 22, 2011
I have a GlobalDispatcher Singleton class extending EventDispatcher that can be accessed through a static getInstance () method by any class after the constructor has been called. i have a host movie that calls the GlobalDispatcher constructor and sets up a listener for a custom event. This host movie then dynamically loads in a different external movie (in the same domain as the host). This movie calls the getInstance method to get the instance of the GlobalDispatcher. Then after an animation it has the GlobalDispatcher dispatch the same custom event the host is set to listen to. The host then captures the event dispatched by the dynamically loaded movie.

Is there or is there not possible to access _global variables between domains? On [URL] I have index.html and index.swf. Index.swf then loads main.swf from [URL]. In index.swf I have a _global variable that i want main to use. When calling for it all I get is undefined. The only way to access it is if I call for it using _parent or _root.
I have allowed the domains to communicate using
System.security.allowDomain("[URL]");
System.security.allowDomain("[URL]");
I have also put a crossdomain policy file on both servers..

I have some filters set up, and have assigned some global vars to them, which I then use in my Filters code to display the filters: myText:Filters [globals.data.glow1, globals.data.stroke1, globals.data.shad1] Works perfectly. Now I want to assign a global var to each global filter var to determine if it should be shown or not. So...

Is it possible to make global functions, much in the same way you make a global variable, reachable from anywhere in the project?

I have this code in a movie, the movie loads fine on it's own but when i load it into another movie it does not work. I think this is to do with global vars, but im not sure. look at the code to see if it is the case. how and where i would change the vars so they are global vars.

Im using loadMovie in a parent movie to load my content movies. I need the content movies to be able to access a variable set in the content movie. I've tried using global variables and can't seem to get anything going.
I've got two layers. The top layer has the header and footer graphic alongs with the scripting for the menu. The bottom layer is where the content movie is loaded into.I'm declaring the _global variable in the top layer, outside of any functions, and trying to access it from the loaded swf in the content (bottom) layer.

I'm working with three files. Main.swf which contains navigation.swf in a blankmc, empty mc called mcContent where navigation sleclected materials are loaded.
In the navigation.fla here is the code
[AS]trace("now defining global");
_global.loadFile_str = strPicName;
trace("global defined as");
[Code] .....
When I do a trace of loadFile_str in the first frame of monthlyreports I get a undefined. I have tried trace(loadFile_str) and trace(_global.loadFile_str). I also noticed that if I define the global on the main movie (it maintains the global variable, the navigation fla will not overwrite it).

I have an array holding 'image' and 'name' name loops fine and populates a load of movie clips underneath each other... i need for when this name is clicked to load an image in another movie clip (image name comes from the array).. the code i have works but it only pulls throught the last item of the array which points to a problem with 'i' not being carried across the functions..? that is the result of my investigation *smokes pipe*

I have two movieclips: MovieClip X and MovieClip Y.
MovieClip Y is nested inside of MovieClip X. MovieClip Y contains buttons with listeners attached to them. These listeners call a method
Code:
buttonClickedHandler();
inside of buttonClickedHandler();... dispatchEvent() is called to dispatch a custom event that bubbles up to MovieClip X. This chain of events works as intended, I can set up a listener in MovieClip X for the custom event and everything is fine...
The problem comes when I try to invoke a dispatch on a button in MovieClip Y without actually physically clicking it. If i call
Code:
ButtonA.dispatchEvent(new MouseEvent(MouseEvent.click));
the listener for the button click event will fire properly, and if i trace the dispatchEvent of the custom event, it returns true meaning the event was dispatched successfully. But in MovieClip X... the listener for that custom event is never fired, its as if the custom even is not bubbling.

Ok I have 3 classes as an example. Main.as
AutoSlide.as
ControlPac
Main looks like this.
Code:
package com {
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.events.Event;[code]....
But I also though other objects could be setup to listen for an event that has been dispatched. This is why I put a listener on ControlPac
Code:
controlPac.addEventListener(AutoSlide.CALL_SLIDE, callNextSlide);
But its not hearing the dispatched event. I tried to extend ControlPac as an evnt and also as a Sprite but its still not able to receive dispatched events from another object

I was studying about EventDispatcher and tried to make my own class and interface IEventDispatcher.Then later i was wondering, what use does the interface have anyway when you still have to declare the functions that are in the interface to the class that implements the interface? The dispatcher will still work without the interface. Like addEventListener, removeEventListener, these functions are within EventDispatcher so why do i need an IEventDispatcher?

I have a ColorPicker Component and I want to (on its CHANGE EVENT) have the LISTENER OBJECT ( known as A) change ANOTHER OBJECT's (known as B) color, based on the ColorPicker's.selectedColor. I do this because i need OBJECT A to keep track of the colors used. Also OBJECT B is dynamic and its instance is based on USER INTERACTION thus B can equal B1 or B2 or C based on mouse click at any given time but must only be 1 at any given time. SO I'm trying to "chain" the events together using listeners/ or delegation but I'm not sure at the logic.how do i reference the objects in the event? should I just try to chain B to listen directly to the event? How can I do this without having to attach listers to the colorpicker every time?

there are 2 functions in my code that dispatch a TweenEvent. each function dispatches the same tween and adds the same TweenEvent.MOTION_FINISH event listener. however, the event listening function must act according to which function dispatched the event. is it possible to get the function of the event dispatcher from the event listener? i could use a flag to make this work if there are no other elegant solutions.

I have been having an issue that I can't seem to solve, I have been fumbling with it most of the day. I am tying to dispatch a custom event in one class and listen for it in another. Here is how my app is built. I have a main swf that loads another swf called LoadingDoors into it. In my LoadingDoors Document class I dispatch a listener:
private function timerListener(event:TimerEvent):void
{
if(doorsMC.currentFrameLabel == "Closed")

If I have an event listener which picks up an event, how can I remove the event dispatcher? I would be looking for something like this.
Code:

event.target = null;
}

I've a parent (Canvas) with many children (LinkButtons)The linkButtons trigger an event to communicate between them:[code]Now, the issue is that the event is only listened by the dispatcher child. In other words, only the child triggering the event, is receiving it. I was wondering what's wrong with it, and if I should add a listener to the parent (Canvas)I basically need the children (LinkButton) communicate between them

I've tried to make an XML parser class using ASBroadcaster, that would act as a listener, and then have methods like getNode(n), which when called, would return the value of that node as a string to the dispatcher/caller.
This doesn't really work all that well, since I'm unsure of how to adress the dispatcher/caller in an economic way.
Do I have to supply the caller object as an argument when broadcasting from it, then do another broadcast for setNode inside the XMLParser.getNode method, supplying it as an argument again, and then check with an if statement in the setNode of the caller, whether it is the right one or not. Seems a bit over the top.
I'd want XMLParser to be a centralised class, that all other objects would refer to via some listener or get/set thing, instead of having an instance of it in each of the objects that would use it.

Does anyone know the code for finding the global positioning of X & Y co-ordinates of a click of a button which is constantly rotating, and then secondly the code for when you click on the button it displays a movie clip on top of it -(position of x & y when clicked) at the angle that you clicked it,so underneath the buttons are still rotating so other people can click them where they are?
to explain the context, I'm trying to design a mock up of a circular interactive table Dynamically placing movie clip at the angle and global position of a mouse click (button) which is constantly rotating.when someone comes up to it and clicks on one of the buttons that are moving, it reads where the person clicked it and opens up a new box (movie clip) where they clicked it (at the angle) so its not upside down if you are at the top.
I've included my .fla file which shows the four buttons moving and a little diagram explaining what I'm trying to do.
