ActionScript 3.0 :: How To Call Function Of Parent Object From Loaded SWF

Nov 10, 2009

I have a swf that should be able to load another swf in runtime. Then I would like the loaded swf to call a method of the parent, loader swf, like this:

Code:
parent.closeForm;
But when I compile it, it throws this error:
1119: Access of possibly undefined property closeForm through a reference with static type flash.displayisplayObjectContainer.

I've tried:
Code:
if (parent != stage){
parent.closeForm;
}

So flash won't run this code at compile time, but it always throws that error. Here is the code of the LOADER swf:

Code:
private function loadForm():void {
var loader:Loader = new Loader()
var mRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest(formPath);
loader.load(mRequest);
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onFormCompleteHandler);
[Code] .....

How could I write an expression that should call a function of the LOADER swf without having this compile-time error?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Call A Function From A Parent Class?

Jan 23, 2009

how I reference vars/instances from a parent class by using a static function and I wonder if there is a better way to do it.

I have a main document class Main.as with a public static function called mainFunction().

ActionScript Code:
public static function mainFunction( _mc:MovieClip, _nVar:Number ):void
{
// do something

[Code]......

This can be tricky if the static function has many variables from its own class.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Call Function Of Parent Class?

Aug 27, 2009

How can I make a call to a function in the parent class of the class I'm in.

example:

main class

Code:

package {
import flash.display.Sprite;
public class mainClass extends Sprite
{

[Code].....

I realise that there is some stuff that is missing in the "full" code here, but that's just because I'm to lazy to write it all...

How do I get the "someButton" in the "child_class" to call the "theImportantFunction" in the main class? I know that it is possible to make a "dispatchEvent" in the "mouseClick" function, and then add a eventlistener in the main class.. But is there another way to just call the function directly?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Child Call To Parent Function Not Working

Jan 12, 2010

I have a main MovieClip that creates a new instance of an imported class which is a page in the application. This class tries to call a function on the main MovieClip and it's not finding it. I've done this in the past without any problems with separate swf files and loaders, and with movieclips in a library. I'm at a loss on how to resolve this. Here's what I'm doing (simplified for posting):

ActionScript :: Flex - An Object Returned From A Function Call Changed The Next Time The Same Function Is Called?

Jan 10, 2012

I have an AS3 program that calls a function multiple times. The function must return multiple variables, so I created a class for the function to declare an object containing all of these variables. For example, here's my class:

package
{
public class PER
{
[Code].....

Let's say the calling program calls the function, which returns the variables into data_set1 (where data_set1 depends on input variables arg1, arg2, arg3) using:

var data_set1:PER = function_name(arg1, arg2, arg3);

The calling program does some stuff, then calls the function again, but returns the variables into a new variable name, data_set2:

var data_set2:PER = function_name(arg4, arg5, arg6);

My intention is that data_set1 and data_set2 are different (e.g. not linked together).

My question is, given that arrays are passed by reference, will data_set1 be modified to agree with data_set2 upon the 2nd function call? Why or why not?

ActionScript 2.0 :: Call Function From A Loaded Movie?

Nov 23, 2010

I've been working on this extremely annoying problem for over 3 hours!

Alright the basics: A parent movie, and a loaded movie.

Inside the parent movie on a frame where the loaded movie is loaded, are two functions[code]...

I have multiple functions and multiple ways to call them because I'm trying atleast for ONE of them to work! I have twisted this code, changed the functions, and tried so many different ways to debug this problem! And finally, I am showing you my most simplified way of testing this problem.

Normally, when I load my parent movie and once it loads the loaded movie inside it, if I click the button- it should call one of my functions. Then I should see the traced message in my output. Instead- nothing happens.

Javascript :: HTML - Call A Function From A Flash Object?

I am trying to call a Jscript function from a flash object. I want the function to be called when the animation ends.

Here is the embed code

codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,0,0"

here is the action code I add to the last frame of the flash object

URLLoader("javascript:mainFunction();");

The object loads but the function is not called. I can call the function other ways such as using an "onclick = mainFunction()" event on a button for example.
