ActionScript 3.0 :: How To Call Function Outside From Main As File
Aug 11, 2011
The Situation: I have a main.as that has a function that is worth 400 lines.
What I want to happen: I want that function to be loaded from another .as file so that my main.as does not look too long. Also, I have a lot of variables that was instantiated on my main.as that is called on that 400 line function.
I'm loading from my main page an external js file, with a function.
I have a flash file in the main page invoking the javascript function.
Everything worked very well until when the javascript code was in the main file, but when I moved javascript to an external file the function seems not called anymore.
So... there is no way to move the javascript code to an external file ? Or any other solution ?
I have a function within another function. Is it possible to call the function inside the function from the main timeline. See example code. I want to call the function called sub from outside off the function called main.
Code: function main():void{ // Do something function sub():void{ //do something }}
I have 2 buttons in my main movieclip, one called "projects by client" and the other "projects by category".I have an external projects.swf which has 2 functions CLIENTS_CLICK and CATEGORIES_CLICK. The code is in the first frame of the projects.fla actions layer and not in a class.
How do I call a custom component's public function from the main app. For example, I've got a timer component, MyTimer.In the main app, I want to call startTimer() or stopTimer().In the main app, I've got:
<visualcomponent:MyTimer /> In the component, I've got: public function startTimer():void {
i write a sound playback class that stop the older sound and play the new sound.After that i need an extra method in this class that trigger when the sound play is complete.I successfully achieve this, but i need to inform the main app (main.mxml) about the completion of that sound playing.
I have a main time line and a button defined. Can I define functions in actionscript anywhere and call them from anywhere? For example, if I call a function in main timeline and it's defined in the button, does that work?
How do you call a function on the main timeline from a an onRealease in a nested mc?I have created a function that resides on the main timline, and when a button is released I want to call it, but the button is nested in a movie clip.
I am working on AS3 and I have a created a button class which have an off state and on state. I did the class and it works fine, but i need a little fine tuning. Right now I am polling the button state from the root(main timeline) by checking a boolean property in the button class. I feel it is quite inefficient to check the button state on every enterFrame event of the main timeline. Rather I would prefer the button to tell the root time line by invoking a function written in the root, whenever a state change occurs. t should be cleaner , right?? But when I try to access a function in the root which goes like this
I'm having a bit of a hard time with calling a function in the main timeline through a button in a movieclip. The mc is in the main timeline and in it I added a button with this.removeMovieClip(); and so far it works, but when I try to call a function from the main timeline it just doesn't seem to work.
I have a main application that contains a list, using a custom itemRenderer to display data.
I would like to be able to call a function, inside the itemRenderer, from the main application.
When running the app, we have a list with three persons, and a button. I want to call the function myItemRendererFunction() inside the itemRenderer, of the selected item in the list, all this, from the main app.
I'm having some trouble finishing an interface i'm working on,the function indica() adds a menu listing of items (indicadores) inside a mask because its too large, and i added a scrollbar that allows to scroll through the items but now i need to add the buttons inside the movie clip indicative,i can add symbols and buttons, but i'm having trouble having them call functions inside the same class that the function indica() is running.[code]
I have a movieClip named MC, and it's enabled with action script, with the class name MC_Rectangle and a Stage.I override the MC_Rectangle class file in a mc_rectangle.as external file.here is the code:
1. how can i access the variable "sequence" in "mc_rect"
2. how can i pass parametre from main stage to mc_rect via function setSequence(data:int)?
3. how can i call the function in addSequence() in mc_rect.
in asp.net, i usually use mc_rect.sequenct,mc_rect.setSequence(data), mc_rect.addSequence() to achieve my goals......btw, can function in mc_rect return out result to main stage?
I have a document class called Main.as In the class constructor I have the following listener:
enter code here var listeningFORModeChangeToStudent:Sprite = new Sprite; listeningFORModeChangeToStudent.addEventListener(TellAllModeChangeToStudent.STUDENT,exp); addChild(listeningFORModeChangeToStudent);
[code]....
In a third class I make a call to the despatcher in the previous class:
enter code here var ThisTellAllModeChangeToStudent:TellAllModeChangeToStudent = new TellAllModeChangeToStudent; ThisTellAllModeChangeToStudent.tellAllModeChangeToStudent();
I have trace statements in eveything and from this I know the despatcher in TellAllModeChangeToStudent is being called.The problem is that the listener in the main.as is not calling the function exp.I cant see why and I dont know how to check if the listener is actually seeing the dispatch event?
Code: <menu txt="THIS ITEM FIRES A FUNCTION IN FLASH" txtcolor="0xFFFFFF" menuaction="myFUNCTION" /> myFUNCTION is a function inside of flash, how can i possibly trigger this?
i did some searches but i can't find the sollution:

this is my relevant flash code
Code: myFUNCTION = function() { trace ("am i called?");
This is my main AS File. I tried to call the function onChangeState within the Main AS File to avoid that the _side.menuXXX addEventListener ist called when there is no such object. So i want the main as to call the onChangeState functionbut i always get this error[code]...
My client says make this, and use XML so it's dynamic and easy to update:A text box with scroller holding news headlines, and a more link that will open an MC with the entire news article. Like:11/28/05 - X-Raided Celebrates 3 Years in Prison Folsom Correctional facility officers report that imprisoned rap artist X-Raided threw a party in his cell (with his cellmate) to celebrate his third anniversary in prison. Officials state.[code] how to make that "more" link in the XML tell flash to run a specific function.I already have a function that makes whatever mc I want visible and I can write some code to fill in dynamic text boxes with the proper nodeData.But what would that "href=" have to be in the XML in order to call that function inside of flash. Is there a way you can turn XML data into executable commands?
