ActionScript 3.0 :: Getting A Loaded .swf To Access FlashVars?
Sep 17, 2008
Game.swf, which needs to access FlashVars from Game.html... easily done withLoaderInfo(this.root.loaderInfo).parameters;It turns out that Game.swf is heavy enough to require a preloader. The onlyeffective way of doing that in AS3 is to loadGame.swf intoPreloader.swf, which is embedded in Preloader.html.The question is, where do the FlashVars go (in Preloader.html??), and how can Game.swf access those variables? I've tried
LoaderInfo(this.parent.loaderInfo).parameters;
//and
LoaderInfo(this.root.parent.loaderInfo).parameters;
[code].....

I have an AS3 swf which loads and external AS2 swf. Inside the AS2 swf i have the following code which fetches the flashvars passed through html.
flashpar.text = "Params: " + _level0.name;
When i run the AS2 SWF independently passing the param through HTML. It works fine.But when i load the AS2 swf inside AS3 swf. It is not able to fetch the flashvars, which is strange cz if i load the AS2 SWF inside another AS2 swf it works fine. how should i fetch the flashvars inside the loaded AS2 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?

Edit: I've come to realize the main problem I'm facing is that I want a text field that already exists in a movieclip or on the stage to take the string from a flashvar. For some reason it will not do that. How do I make a pre-existing text field change to match the flashvar text?

I have a A.swf which loads B.swf onto a movieclip and needs to pass it some FlashVars. When loading B.swf with html, I can pass FlashVars fine. When passing from A.swf, it gets a
Error #2044: Unhandled ioError:. text=Error #2032: Stream Error. URL: file:
The code in A.swf is
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest ("B.swf");
var variables : URLVariables = new URLVariables();
variables.xml = "test.xml";
[code]...
In B.swf, it is checking the Flashvars like so. It works fine from html side
this.loaderInfo.parameters.xml

On frame 1, I have a loadmovie() and then a loadVariables() and I have copied/pasted the flashvars from the working html page into the loadVariables(). The site is loading the swf, but not seeing the flashvars. The swf is loading way zoomed in on the image that is supposed to be 120 120

I have a container SWF that loads other SWF's onto the stage using the load() method. I also am trying to access the MainTimeline of these SWF's using Event.INIT and a function and then telling that function that if the MovieClip, "clip", which is the loaded SWF is at currentFrame>=2 then do something.I can't get any response (not even trace responses)unless I specify "if(clip.currentFrame==1)". How can I get the container SWF to see past the first frame of the loaded Movie Clip? I suspect that I should be using ENTER_FRAME instead of INIT, but if I do that the Movie Clip appears and suddenly disappears without staying on the stage.

I'm just trying to create my small personal website, so I ask your forgiveness in advance if my question sounds stupid...Well, I need to get access to MovieClips instances in my external SWF file, which is a player skin.Although there are plenty tutorials in the Internet about this (e.g. http:[url...), I'm unable to make them work for me...Here is my code:
import flash.display.Loader;import flash.events.MouseEvent;import flash.display.MovieClip;
const SCALE:Number = 1.25;var CPLoader:Loader = new Loader();var ControlPanel:MovieClip;
addChild(CPLoader);CPLoader.load(new URLRequest("ControlPanel.1920.swf"));CPLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, loading_complete);[code].......
When I launch my application I get Error #1069: Can't find property Power_BTN in ControlPanel_fla.MainTimeline__Preloader__; there is no default value. at Experimental_fla::MainTimeline/loading_complete()

I have a site that I'm working on that I am loading an external swf page into a main one. The main one is based on a totally liquid state and stretches the background to fill the browser and the components are relatively position based on browser window dimensions.
Now inside of the main swf I load an external swf through the loader command. This swf has a set dimension and stays centered in the stage.
I am trying to make a button in this swf that loads yet another swf that is stretches the full browser. However I do not know how to access the properties of a main swf from this external one, or if this is even possible.

From my external app I can see the functions and variables with a for-in loop of the loaded swf, but it can't access the functions. I've also tried accessing the variables and functions in the external app also to no avail.

let's say character.swf has a movieclip with instance-name "feet_mc" on the stage. And in my main flash-file (not the character but the game) I now load character.swf in a loader and then: addChild(event.target.content); and that visually adds the character to the scene no problem,
but let's say now I want to access the instance "feet_mc" from my flash-file, how do I speak to it?
if I do: trace(event.target.content.feet_mc); < that works! but I want to be able to access it using a real path from the root.
if I: trace(addChild(event.target.content).name); < it will tell me that the name of the character placed on my flash-file is "instance32",
so you would think I should then be able to say: trace(instance32.feet_mc); but for some reaons that doesn't work! why?
I don't want to refere to the loader (i.e. I don't want to gfxLoader.feet_mc) because that one is getting re-used over and over again for all the assets in my game.

I am creating a movie that loads data from xml files into an array. The values in the array are then accessed by a clip loaded into the main timeline.
I can trace the values in the array without an issue from the main timeline. When I store an array value to variable and trace that variable from the loaded clip I get a value back back. If I try to access the array directly from the loaded clip everything returns undefined.[code]...

Below is a common block of code to load an external swf (simplified for this example). My problem lies in the function at the end where I'd like it gotoAndPlay('playthis') within the swf that just loaded. I get errors like cant reference static type loader etc.
Code:
var graphicLocal:Sprite = new Sprite();
addChild(graphicLocal);
graphicLocal.x = 0;
graphicLocal.y = 60;
var graphicLoader:Loader = new Loader();
[Code] .....
At this point the external swf has successfully loaded and now I want to tell it to go to and play a specific frame. I've tried variations of
graphicLocal.gotoAndPlay('playthisframe')
but cant get it right. Keep getting a
"cant reference static type loader" error.

I want to load an external swf movie into the parent one using for example the UILoader component and I want it to have access only to one object of the parent (the main swf movie). I tried sth like my_uiloader.content.parent = null, but obviously it doesn't work as the parent property is read-only.

I'm trying to simply access anything inside this loaded SWF and all I get is 'null'.
I have code in the parent SWF that needs to tell the child SWF movieclip what to do but nothing works. This was a piee of cake in AS2 and I can't seem to get anything to crossover in AS3.
Here's my code:
import com.greensock.TweenMax;
import flash.display.MovieClip;
var myLoader:Loader = new Loader();
[Code]......
panel2 traces null and all the clips loaded within pull up undefined property errors.

Main movieclip onstage is : design_mc. Within it is a movieclip already in place onstage with an instance name clipart_mc.also loading a ListBox to the stage and each time a selection is made from listbox myLoader9 is used to load selected .swf intodesign_mc.clipArt_mc.Now within each of the .swf files loaded into design_mc.clipArt_mc there is a mc ike to color transform called color_mc.So now the listbox is onstage and I make a selection that places heart.swf inside of design_mc.clipArt_mc. I want to access heart.swf so I did this:
var child:DisplayObject = myLoader9.content.contentLoaderInfo.content.color_mc;
var colorTrans3:ColorTransform = new ColorTransform();
var trans3:Transform = new Transform(child);

Here is the code of the main-mxml file that belongs to the swf that should load and access another swf[code]...
