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?

I'm trying to make a loaded SWF call a function that is in the parent SWF, but it is not working.In AS 2.0 I could just put something like _root.myFunction(); and it worked.But in AS 3.0 it does not work anymore.

I have a function (let's call it testFunction for right now ) on the actions layer in the main timeline There is a movie clip with 15 frames long in the library
i want to add a child of the movie clip on the stage, and call testFunction when it finishes playing
how can i do? i tried to call it in the child but nothing works
Or, is there any way to show child on the stage for only a period of time like 1 second and then remove it automaticly?

I want to call the parent function called "edit_groups()" from the itemRenderer. The code for my itemRenderer is:
<mx:VBox id="vbx_container" paddingBottom="4" paddingLeft="4" paddingRight="4" paddingTop="4" borderStyle="solid"
dropShadowEnabled="true" width="100%" height="100%" horizontalScrollPolicy="off" verticalScrollPolicy="off" >
<mx:Canvas width="100%" height="100%" horizontalScrollPolicy="off" verticalScrollPolicy="off" >
<mx:Image id="image" width="100" height="100" source="{data.thumb}" scaleContent="true" maintainAspectRatio="true"
complete="{image_smoothing_handler(event);}" trustContent="true" doubleClick="{Call The Parent Function"edit_groups()"}"/>
</mx:Canvas></mx:VBox>
And I call my itemRenderer from an application like:
list_groups_modify.itemRenderer=new ClassFactory(groups.list_groups_modify_item_renderer);
<mx:Label text="{data.label}" textAlign="center" maxWidth="60" toolTip="{data.label}"/>

Is it possible to call a child function from within the parent? I know to go child > parent, you can do parentApplication.functionName(parameters);, but what about going the other way... that is parent > child?

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.

Code: Select allpanel.next_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClick);
function onClick(e:MouseEvent):void{
MovieClip(this.parent.parent).parentFunction();
}

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?

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):

I have a child movie clip attached to the parent via the flash interface. The child is running a timer via code on its (the child's) timeline. When the timer finishes it needs to trigger a function on the parent's timeline. All the examples show how to trigger a function on the child - that is easy and I have got that working.

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?

these are a couple of functions within a custom class i'm working on. why in the top function that when i call init() on the loaded swf, it works, but when i call reverseType() and normalType() in the second function, it doesn't work? i get a "TypeError: Error #1006: normalType is not a function." in the debugger. i've made sure those two functions are public in the document class, but nothing seems to work.

Say I have an object call "Mother". Inside this Mother object is a function called "Come back all my children" And all my Child Objects extends Mother.
Is there a way one of the Child could call the function "Come back all my children" and this function will be evoked in ALL Child objects ?
I tried creating a "Come back all my children" function as static in the Mother object but I am unable to use the "this" keyword for this.

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.

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
<h1 align="center">
<OBJECT classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"
codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,0,0"
WIDTH="360" HEIGHT="250" id="Yourfilename" ALIGN="center">
[code].....
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.
