What I am trying to do is that if I click on the button, another window (like a flash popup, not in html) will popup and only this layer (new popup layer) will have an access. There should be no access in the parent swf. The flash popup has to load external swf file.

I need to close the popup(adobe flex), non modal window if I click on the parent page of the popup. I have to do the out of focus check and then do some validation before close the popup. So what I was thinking that is there any inbuilt focus check event or do we need to create custom event for that?
View 1 RepliesHaving not used PHP in conjuction with Flash before the last few day, I'm a bit stuck.I have a PHP file which will contain a list of online courses, each with their own link to to launch them. The link to launch the course will contain data such as:
- A book mark that will be read when the flash movie loads to determine which page to go to.
- The current score of the student
- Wherever or not the student has compelted the course.The links open the course in a new popup window, and I am trying to send the PHP variables from the new window to the parent page, without much success.
If I use LoadVars.send(); then the whole works ok, updating the variables and the PHP page, but opening it in a new window, instead of just refreshing the existing page.I have tried getting my head around sendAndLoad, but it doesn't seem to work?Current the "courselist.php" file looks like this:

How to i call parent's method when i don't know who the caller is?
I have a parent swf which loads many child swfs (though only one is displayed at a time). My intention was to use the loaded SWFs document class to retrieve an array of objects to be assigned a tab index, combine this with the parent's own array of objects and apply sequential tab indices to them all. But what happens is actually that the parent's objects are assigned an index, but the external swf is unaffected. In fact, the external swf retains its automatic tab indexing, when I would expect that having set a value for InteractiveObject.tabIndex, automatic tab indexing would be disabled.
I've seen similar tales elsewhere. Most posts I've read are wanting to load an external swf, give it focus and loop through those objects, then close the swf and return to looping through the parent. However I would like loop through all objects as one. including manipulating the focus manager(s), and basically fiddling with every tab-related property I know.
Everytime I try to do even an
ExternalInterface.call('alert','abc');
(Which will work on every browser) I get an
object doesn't support this property or method
After the alert appears. It even happens in the HTML generated by flash without me touching it...
I am creating modal popup canvas window in a parent page. When I close the popup how do we get notification in parent screen that child popup is just closed.
View 3 RepliesI have a main flash movie that has 6 navigation buttons for 6 sections of the website. Each button loads an external swf to cutdown on preloader time for the whole website. Within each section, for example section1.swf, there are a number of images you can click through, with previous and back buttons. On each image in section1.swf is a button so that you can popup a window with more related info and images. So, in section1.swf on the first image image1_mc there is a button pop_btn, and I would like it to open a popup_mc which loads an external swf. Popup_mc would have a close_btn to close the window. I have tried various things for 2 weeks, and have had no luck. I can open a popup window, or I can load a swf, but I can't figure out how to put it all together.
View 5 RepliesI am trying to figure out how to open a pop up window in my Air application, in a secondary Window, instead of the main application window.I am using the ReusableFX components, which include a custom DataGrid with filtering and other capabilities. The filtering feature displays a pop up window via PopUpManager when you click on the top of a column in the grid.
PopUpManager.addPopUp(this, FlexGlobals.topLevelApplication as DisplayObject);
The problem is that the pop up window opens in the main application - I am assuming because of the 'topLevelApplication' reference.So, I need a way to open this window in the current Air "s:Window". I am assuming I need a way to walk up : this.parent.parent or this.owner.owner - though I have tried that and it did not seem to work (it said null reference).OR, is there a way to get the current top most window / component (NOT the main application / window)?
Update:I decided to create a new project for the component, and add in the Air libraries. Now I am able to access the "NativeApplication.nativeApplication.activeWindow" call. That gives me the correct Air window. However, it does not seem to be working:
PopUpManager.addPopUp(this, NativeApplication.nativeApplication.activeWindow as DisplayObject);
My popup does not appear. I am assuming because "activeWindow" is not actually a DisplayObject?(so how do I get the DisplayObject if that's the case?)
If you create a popup via:[code]It will create a popup and bring it on top of any other visual piece. I have one problem though. This 'popup' needs to stay up even when the user interacts with the background.I would use modal, but I need the ability to interact with the back. Any way to tell the popup manager not to remove the popup when the user clicks off of it?
View 1 RepliesSo I got two flash movies. A big one and a small one. I want to display the small one into the big one. Additionally I want the ability to resize it, load it at certain frame in the clip and apply some sort of tween/fade in effect to the loaded swf, but first things first.
View 2 RepliesI have a parent w/ a popup child. When parent loads, I have to call a function within the popup without showing the popup (thus, I load "pupLove" but don't include it in layout)....I then pass this data to the parent. When the user manually clicks another button to open the popup, the same function is called & data passed to the parent. However, I am not able to pass dg.length to the parent. I believe the root problem is that I am loading "pupLove" & thus the parents are getting confused.....I'm guessing if I get rid of "pupLove" I can pass the data correctly but will need to call the child's function at creationComplete of the parent....how do I do that?Here's my parent:

I have an externally loaded file in flash. I'm trying to create a pop up from the text file. In order to do so I place a function into my actionscript, then place the link inside my external text file. It works fine but only while publishing in flash 6 and not 8.Below is the example of the function and the internal link.
openWin = function (url)
{
getURL("javascript:window.open('"+url+"','newWin', 'toolbar=no,width=760,height=560'); void(0);");
};
<a href='asfunctionpenwin,http://adobe.com'><font+color="#0000ff"><b>Link</b></font></a>
I am trying call a popup window from actionscript on a button and am having trouble I am using following: import flash.external.ExternalInterface; Then on the button in Flash: on (release) { ExternalInterface.call("myPopup.start", "#contactForm"); } but I don't know if ExternalInterface will properly call the start() method.... am a little lost The page is @ [URL] and the link at the bottom "CLICK HERE FOR FORM" is what needs to be incorporated into a flash button on the SWF.
View 0 RepliesSimple drag and drop application where mc is dragged out of one parent mc and dropped into another parent mc.All works OK until I added 2 text boxes to the mc's -- one is a non-selectable dynamic text box (a label) which is set by the code, the other is selectable input text that the user can amend.
Finger cursor disappears when user hovers over the section of the mc that contains the text fields (even non-selectable text??) When the user trys to drag the mc by inadvertantly click-dragging anywhere within both text areas it causes this error: TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert flash.text::TextField@2374a381 to flash.display. MovieClip (same error appears for both text boxes)
The input text box may confuse the user - how do they sometimes click to drag and sometimes click to amend? I need to create an overlay area within the mc that is click-detected for the drag? Here's the relevant bits of code:

[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]

View 1 RepliesI'm trying to make a popup alert modal window thing with an external class. I have a simple swf set up with just some random sample text, a rectangle, and a button. What I want to happen is for the "alert" class to initialize upon startup of the swf and then when I click the button (instance: btn), the alert will show up. If I get rid of all AS in the swf and set alert as the document class, it shows up just fine, so I think it should be working, but for some reason I get this instead when I try the button function:

ball.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, pickUp);
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, dropIt);
function pickUp(event:MouseEvent):void{ [code]...
It works well but I'm new to AS3 and I am having difficulty amending this script to drag the ball out of a parent mc (instead of the stage) and onto another mc (the target mc). To explain: imagine a ball, a box, a tri, + more shapes all within a scrolling mc (initial parent), the user scrolls to select a shape, then drag-drops onto a target mc on the stage.The scrolling is no problem, but how would you amend the script above so that the ball can start inside a parent mc rather than on the stage itself?

i need to know why my loaded swf ended up having wrong parent, i mean i load multiples external swf and then add it into a main swf which have one mainContainer( an instance of sprite class) to hold background image and it also hold several SWFcontainer which will hold the loaded swf.what went wrong is that the the loaded swf parent is the mainContainer (or if do not use the mainContainer it wil become the child of the stage).
here is the code i used:
import flash.display.*;var myXML:XML;var SWFList:XMLList;var xmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();var totalSWF:int;var mainContainer:Sprite;var myCounter:Number = 0;var

go to media >> aikido pictures
I am using this screen resolution: 1024 x 768
the whole website seems to work fine, but when I change my resolution to a higher resolution, everything works fine until I go to media >> aikido pictures, and then the whole parent swf is resized to a smaller size but the child swf is still filling the screen.
I am able to access main root from an external swf by doing this:
MovieClip(root.parent.root)
but how to avoid getting an error when testing external swf alone? Is there any try catch system I can do to avoid thoses errors?
