ActionScript 3.0 :: Datagrid XML Data Not Loading Into Parent Timeline?
Jul 2, 2009
I have a problem with XML data loading into a datagrid when the containing swf is loaded into another swf.
I am able to get this to work in other scenarios, however in this scenario it seems to be related to the menu system I am using. The menu is populated from another external XML and when a button is clicked it calls a function to load the swf containing the datagrid into the parent swf. The URL for the swf to be loaded is accessed from the menu.xml. The result is an empty data grid.
I have tried adding a the datagrid component to the parent swf, however this dows not solve this issue.

Why does a child movieclip only show the first frame within the IDE, regardless of where you are in the parent timeline?If you throw a movieclip with 25 frames onto the main timeline, which also has 25 frame, you don't see the nested movieclip's frame-progress while you scroll through the main timeline.Is there a setting somewhere in preferences or somewhere that will enable you to see a nested movieclip's frame position from the main timeline? Like you do with After Effects composites?

I have created an renderer to modify the content of one of the columns of the DataGrid.
Code:
package {
import fl.containers.UILoader;
import fl.controls.listClasses.ICellRenderer;[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.

In flex 3 I have a hierarchical data structure. I would like to display the content of it in a tree. My problem is that I have nodes which data calculated from children nodes. How to structure the hierarchy to make automatic changes to those parent nodes, if their children's data changed? For example:
Every node has a warning flag. If some of the children warning flag changed to true, then the parent warning flag should change automatically set to true. A node integer field is the sum of the children integer fields, and if any of the children changes, the parent integer field "calculates" the sum immediately. Is there an easy solution wit good structuring changes happen automatically, or I have to make some custom functions?

I've got a Gridcolumn in a Datagrid (Spark). The Column's dataprovider is a Number value that gets updated via Binding.Now, without an item renderer the cell displays the correct values.If I set an item renderer, I can't access the values in this renderer.My renderer looks like this, so nothing really do here (for now) but to trace the value, but the value is always NaN.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<s:GridItemRenderer xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark" width="100%" height="100%" >[code].......
without the renderer, the column displays the correct values, so apparently the DefaultGridItemRenderer works fine.As requested, here is my Datagrid;
<s:DataGrid id="dataGrid" dataProvider="{_listItems}">
<s:columns>
<s:ArrayList>[code]..........
_listItems is an ArrayList with instances of a model class, which has (amongst others) a property called change of type Number.

I have a DataGrid whose dataProvider is an Array of int Arrays (each with different lengths). Since each row has variable size (and I want to display all the data), I decided to extend DataGridColumn and overwrite the itemToLabel function to be able to display the data. The problem is that I also need to display the data differently depending on the int value.
I believe the only solution is to write an itemRenderer, but the only input the itemRenderer.set(data) function receives is the entire int Array. I believe I need either the exact string returned by itemToLabel or the column index of the cell the itemRenderer is for (to basically do the same parsing I implemented in itemToLabel).

I've just swiched over from FL8 to FL CS4 (3 days ago). I'm learning AS3 at the moment but am on a deadline with a project (a bit over it actualy) which uses AS3
I have a movieclip (container_mc) on the main timeline which holds all the animation and a timer (timer1_mc).When container_mc reaches frame 2 it stops and a timer (timer1_mc) starts running.When the timer finishes, container_mc should continue to the next frame.The code I have to do that (from the timer1_mc) is:
if (d> 260) {
parent.container_mc.nextFrame();
trace("blabla");[code]....
This doesn't work, it gives me the error 1119: Access of possibly undefined property container_mc through a reference with static type flash.display:DisplayObjectContainer.

I have a swf that loads an external swf. I want the external swf, (the one that was just loaded), to interact with the timeline of the swf that just loaded it. I've been trying MovieClip(root). or MovieClip(parent). but they give me errors. How should I use as3 in the external swf so that it interacts correctly with the parent?

If I have a movieclip in my library with some animation on the timeline and actions as well (stops, calls to other methods, etc.) and at runtime I add this clip to the display list, everything works as expected. The actions in the timeline of said clip are fired.If however, I load this file into another swf all the actions in the movieclip are ignored.Attached is a demonstration of this behavior. simply runnning Child.swf on it's own will show nothing as there is a stop on the first frame of the attached clip. However run the Shell.swf (which loads Child.swf) and you'll see the animation of the movie clip. There are no calls anywhere telling anything to start playing. What's worse, the method call further down the timeline and the stop and the end of the timeline are also ignored. Compiling these files and looking at the Output window, you'll see the trace from the method "__testCall" is never fired.Is this a bug with the Flash Player?I've had to use addFrameScript as an alternative to actually having the actions on the timeline. lame.

How do I get a targeted mc to communicate with the parent timeline? I'm not using levels but targeted mc.
I need the playback head to go from the targeted movie clip (this is called nested, correct?) to the parent timeline and stop at a particular movie instance or frame label. I have been unsucessfully using this:
gotoAndPlay(_parent.instancename);

Essentially, i have loaded an external SWF (area-home.swf) w/in a MC (mc_loader) of the main SWF (base.swf). This is simple, not a problem, works like a charm. What I want to do from here is have the main SWF (base.swf) tell the external SWF (area-home.swf) to gotoAndStop at a certain frame (42). Below is the code that I have, and can't quite figure out why it won't work:
PHP Code:
var loader1:Loader=new Loader();
loader1.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, myFunction);
loader1.load(new URLRequest("area-home.swf"));
[code]...
When i trace the total frames, it does bring back the actual frame count from area-home.swf, so I know that it is communicating. It simply does not stop on the 42nd frame (even have a stop(); command on that frame in area-home.swf's timeline)

I have a parent movie that contains several buttons that load several child SWF files.The parent timeline has only 1 frame, and in that frame all the ActionScript (version 3) for the parent movie is imported with a single statement:
include "script.as";
The problem is that when a child movie loads, IF the child contains ANY ActionScript calls, it also somehow runs the code in "script.as", which accesses many elements of the parent movie which are not present in the child. This produces "NULL object reference" errors which crash the script:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.If I remove all ActionScript calls from the child's timeline, then the child doesn't run the parent's code - But if place so much as a stop(); call in the child timeline, then the child runs the parent's code after being loaded in.
I originally wrote this script for another project, which works fine, and then copied and pasted it to this one, so I don't understand why it's not working the same way. Earlier on I suspected the trouble might be from re-saving my current project as ActionScript 3, when before this upgrade was saved as ActionScript 2. So I went back and re-created each file in fresh AS3 FLAs, but it didn't solve the problem.The child SWFs are loaded with this code from "script.as".
var ldr:Loader = new Loader(); addChild(ldr); var url:String = "child.swf"; var urlReq:URLRequest = new URLRequest(url); ldr.load(urlReq);
Also in "script.as" is a simple trace call at the top of the file:
trace('script.as is running');
When de-bugging the file, the message 'script.as is running' appears in the output panel when each child SWF is loaded, which tells me that the child files are running the parent's code. Is there any way to prevent this from happening?

I work on a truckload of flash banners and have progressed more into dispatching events from the final frame of a MovieClip that would contain an object (or collection of closely related objects) animating and then listening for them from the parent timeline so that I know when to continue the main animation etc.In the animation I'm working on currently, there's a car built from blocks over time (the blocks fall from the top of the banner to make up the car); this is all contained within one MovieClip (to make the resizing easier - all I'll have to do is move the entire MovieClip around).The problem is that when I place this MovieClip onto the timeline, it's represented by its first frame (which is nothing because no blocks have fallen yet). This makes it hard to work with because I can't really tell exactly where the car is going to be when the animation is done and so on.Is there a way to have the final frame of this MovieClip visible from the outer timeline?

I have an swf file, MyRoundButtons, which is a set of radio buttons I built (not components). It works fine, but if I import it into a parent it won't work anymore. I have to write a script to load it into a movieclip, (which I hate, because I'll have a several different swfs to assemble on my final stage. I really want to see them all on the stage together, not just at runtime.)
Even when I load it into a clip and the buttons work, however, it doesn't seem to have a separate timeline when double-clicked ,and:I can't make the imported buttons control the timeline of the parent.I defined a test function:
Code: Select allfunction goToNirvana() {gotoAndPlay("nirvana")};
Frame "nirvana," in th parent, has a Trace instruction in it.
goToNirvana works on its own in the parent. [code].....
Whether I define that function in the child, the parent, or both, the instruction won't work. Now, I'd prefer not to do the loadMovie thing at all if I can avoid it, I'd rather have fully rendered button clips onstage at authoring for me to arrange and move about, with fully independent timelines right there. But you see what I'm trying to do. I just can't get it done.

I have a basic xml driven portfolio. The xml file holds the path to the portfolio pieces (external .swfs). I have a main navigation that moves from project to project and a subnavigation to view individual pages of that project.The subnav is where I have the problem, I simply want to call gotoAndPlay("framelabel") of the designated mc. It seems that you can no longer call to the timeline of child movieclips as you could with AS 2. I've found some examples Except the examples discuss access of nested movieclips on the stage with assigned instance names. But the problem I'm facing is that I have each item pulled in via the loader Class then the objects are pushed into an array and my subnav needs to access them dynamically via array notation.something like this:
PHP Code:
public function loadMe(){
//var l:Loader = new Loader();

[code]All clips are squared.Ok, on the PlayerPlane, there are little soldiers, which have hotkeys. The effect I'm trying to create is I want to position the GameStage so that the currently selected soldier appears in the center of the GameClicker clip.The GameStage is movable by the player (to scan other areas of the map)by holding the CTRL key, so it's easy to kinda lose track of where your players are.I have tried using localTo Global and globalToLocal techniques, but I think I'm lost on the actual math of getting the GameStage to move the correct distance so that the selected soldier is centered to the GameClicker.[code]

I'm doing an AIR app scheduler to load data from a .txt. I'm able to trace the data in flash but how do I put those data into flash components (maybe datagrid? Maybe something that can let the user delete part of the entry of their schedule in the scheduler. For example if they wish to delete entry 5 of the scheduler, what should the code for the app be? After displaying the code in the app via flash, the user will be able to delete the fifth entry in the scheduler, or something similiar to this idea. How can I achieve that?

I have two swf, A.swf and B.swf: B.swf is a child of A.swf. Each swf has its DocumentClass. Now: I must pass 4 arrays from A.swf to the DocumentClass of B.swf. Which could be the best way? Is a listener in B.swf a good idea? I noticed there's the possibility to send data over the querystring but I would like to avoid this solution, if possible.
