ActionScript 3.0 :: Flash - Accessing Classes From Externally Loaded Swf's?
Apr 30, 2011
I have a document class which links to several classes, one of which adds a container onto the stage and loads external .swf's into it.Q: How do I access the various classes loaded in the document class from the external swf timeline?For instance, when you click a button in the loaded swf it changes the soundtrack from the soundtrack class. I have tried dispatchevent from the external swf timeline, but I still can't seem to get it to work. Is this supposed to work, or should I be doing something different?

I have a swf file which contains in its library couple pictures. After it is loaded using preloader I would like to be able to create couple instances of them and add them to the stage
If I use swc approach and import it in library path I can not preload it but instancing is very simple i.e
Code:
public var pic:Pic1 = new Pic1();
and that's it, I can add it then to stage then.
How to access them when doing it with swf and loader class?

I am building a touch screen kiosk Air App using Flash CS3 and Air 1.0.
I have my application downloading external SWFs for different advertisements, one of which will need access to the webcam built into the kiosk.
By itself, the advertisement accesses the camera just fine, however Camera.getCamera() returns null when it the SWF loaded into the kiosk app. Both the main kiosk app and the advertisement app are compiled using Air 1.0.
It appears that I'm getting a security sandbox violation, however I'd like to avoid completely rewriting my app using the sandbox bridge architecture just so one of my ad pieces can access a webcam.
Does anyone have any suggestions or know of any work-arounds for allowing webcam accesss from within an embedded SWF in Air?

I have loaded an external swf into loaderTopBanner. It works to manipulate that, but not the individual buttons within it. (e.g. btn_Home, btn_Info)
loaderTopBanner.btn_Home.alpha = 0;

I am loading an SWF created in Flash CS4, using the 3d translation tool.The SWF is being loaded into an application being build in as3 in flex builder 3.I can manage to load the movie however the stage has disappeared. All of the objects that exceed the boundaries of the (banner) remain visible instead of being cropped by the stageI attempted to mask the swf before publishing which did not work, and I attempted to programmatically assign a mask once it was imported which also did not work.None of these options threw errors, in most cases they either had no effect whatsoever or the movie simply disappeareI've read numerous posts on this and the answers always seem to be vague.Based on my research I need to access the stage properties of the SWF being loaded, but am unsure how to go about it.Do I need to compile the movie, export a swc and add it to the build path for the project?Do I HAVE to use a document class for the SWF I want to load in order to access it?Do I need to add anything else to the source or build path for the project in Flex Builder?

I am trying to set a couple of properties (specifically width and height) for an mc within an externally loaded swf but am having bigtime troubles. Keep getting the 'Error #1010: A term is undefined and has no properties'. The code is attached below. I have tried to figure this out and searched for solutions but could not resolve this myself.

I'm slowly working my way through AS3, and have a question about how to do this. In as2, you could just load a swf file, then use attachMovie("itemLibraryLinkageName");. I know in AS3 you have to use addChild() to add items to the display list, but how would you go about adding the library items to the stage from an externally loaded swf in AS3? I've tried:
Code: Select allvar library:MovieClip;
var loader:Loader = new Loader();
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onComplete);[code].......

I'm trying to set up a large project that has a "shell" application that preloads and eventually displays a bunch of SWFs as a "slideshow". Each SWF could be authored by different people but will reference a base document class so they exhibit consistent behaviour. One of these behaviours is to be able to localise the slideshow into different languages. Since each SWF could have a different number of textfields that need to be localised embedded into their main timeline, the SWFs each must declare their stage instances in their document class. In order to implement the common functionality (such as a "localiseText()" method), I have decided to package all common functionality into a superclass (what I'm calling "Base Class" in this example) and using a subclass as each slide's document class.
This Example:This is a simple example I set up because in my actual project my compiler was throwing a coercion error when I tried to cast the Loader.content as my external class. The structure of this example is the following:
+ loader.fla : this is the main "shell" application.
+ SWFLoader.as : the Document Class for loader.fla
+ external_1.fla : this is the external SWF file that will get loaded and displayed
[code]....
I've set it up this way because a hypothetical external_2.fla might have different public variables to declare its stage instances so would need a separate implementation of ExternalBase (presumably External2.as).
The code (in reverse):
base/ExternalBase
[code]....
This just sets up the localiseText() method which is used in this example to change the contents of the text field. Since we don't know the name of the text field in the particular slide's timeline, we have to ask for it from the subclass' implementation of getLocalisableTextField(). We declare an abstract function here that needs to be overridden in the implementation.

How would you go about accessing a function or variable from a parent clip if the clip accessing has been loaded using the Loader() constructor in AS3?

I have 2 swfs, one is main and it loads other file "skin.swf". skin contains object of custom class SkinClass. I can access it from main swf, but when I try to cast that object, the result is null. This happens when I use absolute url, when I load skin from relative url, everything is ok.

In Flash, I can go into the properties of an image in the library and check 'allow smoothing' to enable resampling when the image is scaled or rotated.
How can I achieve the same effect for images loaded dynamically by the SWF from an external URL?

I'm loading an swf say "test.swf" which gets loaded in imageLoader , so I can get its content by :
imageLoader.content
So if I wanted one of the movieClips inside it I would do this :
imageLoader.content.testMovie.transform.colorTransform = someTransformation;
But when I do this, since the movie is not loaded the file is not compiled and gives me an error your referring to something that is not there. How else am I supposed to reference a content that will be loaded later?

I´m having troubble positioning an externally loaded swf. It simply does not respond to any settings of its x and y values.
The swf I´m loading is a pure as3 project created in FlashDevelop where the main class extends sprite. I´ve even tried modifying the x and y values afterwards using MonsterDebugger but with no luck.
The swf is loaded into a container on the right side of the stage but always end up at the top left corner. The loading is straight forward:
public var targetContainer:Sprite;
public function load(path:string):void {
loader = new Loader();

I am trying to figure out how to get the actual filename of an external .swf when loaded into another movie clip.
Code: var toTrace:String = getChildAt(0).name; trace(toTrace); That is what I have. It gives me the instance name, which does me no good, because it is a relative instance name. My situation is that I have a few buttons, when clicked they load external .swf into the stage at index 0. I need to know how to reference the currently loaded external file.

I've got a class (which extends MovieClip) that loads in an external SWF (made in pdf2swf). That is added to another class which has declared doubleClickEnabled = true and I'm listening for DOUBLE_CLICK events.Problem is when the SWF is loaded my code picks up no DOUBLE_CLICK events, only CLICK events. I've tried it without adding the SWF to the stage and it does pick up DOUBLE_CLICK events.
class ParentClass{
...
public function ParentClass(){
...
mcToLoadSWF = new MovieClip();
[code]...
I've also tried adding the event listener to the mcToLoadSWF as well. No dice.

in Chrome on Mac and in Chrome, Opera and Safari on PC, it appears to be playing sounds twice, generating an unwanted echo-effect with a rather random delay(always under half a second though).
I have 2 swf-files that communictes through a LocalConnection, the main swf simply calls a function on the second swf and passing a url to an mp3-file as parameter. The second swf then loads the file and onComplete plays it.
This works perfectly on IE(that's a first) and Firefox on both mac and PC but echoes as mentioned above.
I even implemented a double-check to make sure a sound wouldn't play if a sound is already playing.
Some sample code:
var audio:Sound;
var isPlayingSound:Boolean = false;
var soundURL:String;

I'm have a flash movie where I let the viewer push a button to load an external SWF-which in itself is a video I converted to SWF. Once it loads via an empty movie clip into the main flash movie how can I add video player controls such as volume on the lower part of the stage of the main movie to control the externally loaded SWF?

I am in the process of building a site for an Architect... Jamie Fobert Architects (projects) I am useing transitions between the projects and am loading details/text and images externally through flashvars, php and a mySQL database. Within my transitions I have a a preloader on the forst 2 frames the code is as follows (taken from a Voetsjoeba tutorial):
[Code]....
This works pretty well if the content is within the .swf, but when it is loaded externally it doesnt preload it at all. Does anyone know how I can adapt/improve this preloader? or somehow ensure that all the content being loaded externally is loaded before the transition plays?

I have a movie that loads images from an external source based on paths contained within an .xml. As far as I can see, there is no restriction to the size of the loaded image, which are are JPEGs, hence flash will not have these images resized. The images look fine when loaded in Photoshop or viewed separately, but the quality is just awful when loaded within the movie.
I've tried the usual hints like increasing JPEG quality in Publish Settings, but understand that since these images are not imporated into Flash CS5 before compiling, but are instead loaded when the .swf is run, these settings would not have any effect.

For example, If I have a SWF that loads XML and images, and displays them, is there some kind of 3rd-party tool that will take this SWF and re-render it as if all the text and images were embedded and not external? So I could just use the same SWF without it relying on image and xml data files?

i have a test website here which has externally loaded files coming into the container on the main index page. the code on the buttons at the top right hand corner have this code on each of them for the externally loaded .swf files to come in:
on (release) {
if (_root.currMovie == undefined) {
_root.currMovie = "contact";
container.loadMovie("contact.swf");
[code].....
and that all works perfectly fine. what my problem is is when i click on the "contact" button and i'm on that page. on the left hand side column towards the bottom, i have a block of text with one red word. i want that word to bring in the f.a.q. page (and replace the contact page i'm currently looking at) which can also be accessed from the top nav. just a little thing, but i wanted to learn how to do it.
i've put the same code into the invisible button that says "faq" which is identical to the code listed above except i changed all instances of "_root" to "_parent" but that didn't do it. i think it's something like that that would have to do with the problem.

Here is the problem:I have 2 external as3 files in a "com" folder next to the FLA within which i am working. The first of these ( "Main.as") is the document class. The second ("events.as") contains variable definition "myVar:Number = 0" which i want to be able to access and change inside Main.as. I am sure that this is possible, but i can't get it working (flash very keeps pointing out that I have made an error. Specifically that old classic: "1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: myVar." which has puzzled me since the dawn of time.

What I'm trying to do is quite simple. Load an image externally, then display it (addChild it) multiple times, in different places, without loading it again and again. (Granted, caching means the image won't be downloaded multiple times, but I'd like to avoid those annoying disk accesses as well.) I know that flash doesn't actually support this. A while ago I was trying this same thing, I dug around for hours, and there was no real solution.

I have SWF files that I load into my flash movie and those SWF files sometimes have mouse events that can interfere with dialogs and buttons in my flash movie. I'd like to temporarily disable the loaded SWFs mouse event handlers or block them from having any effects on my flash movie. My flash movie is AS 2.

I am loading an externally loaded swf that uses a mask to transition in. When the user clicks a different button I am doing a gotoAndPlay that goes to a mask that "unloads" the content (it doesnt actually unload the info is just outside of the mask area. As soon As I jump to that section the movie is no longer loaded and just shows the container clip that I had created for it. The Container Clip is never changed and is the same throughout the whole process. The only thing that changes is the mask animation.I have tried both loadClip and loadMovie but no luck on keeping the clip loaded.
EDIT - I have narrowed it down. When I change the mask movieclip the movie unloads for some reason. Is there a way I can keep it loaded?
