ActionScript 3.0 :: Instanced Movieclip-like Class Missing Frame Scripts After Loading
Jul 21, 2009
I had a problem recently with as3 and found no answer about this issue, I did a game with a client's container. This container has a custom loader function to load resources, so I loaded a swf with linked movieclip's based classes, these movieclips have frame scripts like stop() and dispatchEvent(..). It actually loads the resources, I instanciate them and their frame script WORKS. Now, I'm making a standalone version without the container:
1 - I load the same swf, using the standard flash loader.
2 - I instantiate the classes and add them to stage.
3 - The framescript is totally missing. The frame scripts like stop(), trace() and etc, aren't executing anymore.
I did a lot of research on the web, and found very few people with the same issue but no answer. I tryed a lot of workarounds but nothing seems to happend, I think is a security-loader issue, but now I am clueless.

I'm currently working on a project where people can drag different symbols (man, woman, house, building, etc) onto a stage to create a graphical representation of a scenario.
I have been able to make draggable classes with different symbols. What I'm finding difficult is the ability to dynamically change these instanced classes using the color picker.
Example: Let's say the user has added two "man" symbols (being external classes) onto the stage. How would I code the ability for the user to change the color of one man symbol to red and the other to blue. I'm finding it quite difficult to achieve this since both man symbols are from the same class.

is there a way to scope instances that haven't been instanced in the first frame of the movie?I got brave and nested my btn_mc clips inside a nav_mc.On an action layer in the first frame of my timeline I have:
_root.nav_mc.btn1_mc.gotoAndPlay("start");
for example.In the nav_mc timeline this works if and ONLY if the btn1_mc instance is on the first frame of the nav_mc timeline.I'm trying to update my skillz and put everything in the first frame of the root timeline rather than doing the backasswards syntax on the mc itself this (onPress) which really confused me for about five years.

I am trying to get an instance of a class to the load an external swf and show it.So far I have the following:
1) I wrote a class that uses the Loader class to load an external swf "loadExtSWF".
2) I have a fla named "MainSWF.fla" that uses a document class "MainSWF.as".
3) I have the MainSWF.as file that instances "loadExtSWF" and calls loadExtSWF.startLoad to load the swf.
This almost works. The instance of loadExtSWF loads the external swf, but the swf is not displayed.If I replace the fla's document class with loadExtSWF (this has an empty constructor) instead of MainSWF, and run loadExtSWF.startLoad, then the external swf is loaded and displayed.[code]

I'm working on building a 'cover flow' similar to the scroll through iTunes uses for it's album covers. The only difference is my 'cover' needs a background MovieClip that will sit behind it and animate when the images are scrolled to get it a 3D effect. So I have a MovieClip I'm exporting called coverflowItem. This is the movie clip that will sit behind each 'cover' image and have the timeline I want to control from a different .as file. That file is called coverflow.as where all of the elements are assembled and animated.
What I need to do now is find out how to control each instanced coverflowItem so when the arrow buttons are clicked, not only do the covers slide to the appropriate side which they are currently doing now, but also have the associated MovieClip play giving the 3D illusion. I can call the functions from the coverflowItem.as in the coverflow.as but have had no luck actually getting the movie clips to play properly.
//Create CoverflowItem
var cover:CoverflowItem=new CoverflowItem(_data);
This code lets me assess the functions but not actually manipulate the MovieClip. I'm sure my logic if flawed.

So I have created the main class for the .fla file but I want a menu screen before my game starts playing. However, because of my doc class loads on the first frame, I dont know how to control when the document class will start loading.

Okay, so I decided to try putting some child movieclip switches into the .as instead of in the frames. After a lot of Googling and reading, I think I learned that each of those movieclips need to be in their own .as. Anyway, I tried to do it and the movieclip, which is located in the .fla library and does have export checked off, is not showing up when I play the file. The movieclip has this .as to itself:

I'm trying to load a live swf (an online game .swf file) within a private swf (My own client)
I'm using this code:
ActionScript Code:
var loader:Loader = new Loader();
loader.load(new URLRequest("URL"));
addChild(loader);
Which works perfectly apart from the program (when run) causes this error:

at _-Fonts()
I'm not sure why but the Fonts.as seems to crash the program... I decompiled it and found nothing really important inside the file... so I was wondering if it's possible to skip-loading the Fonts.as file... I can't delete this file/edit it due to it being a live .swf and not mine...
EDIT: I just re-looked at the coding and noticed it has similar coding to mine... could my code and this code be interacting be why it doesn't run?
ActionScript Code:
_-0Jy = new _-1Nn(_-0DE, this);
addChild(_-0Jy);

I have an online application that loads a variety of different languages. I have one main interface file that loads the appropriate language that is needed for the end user. These languages are being loaded from a txt file encoded using UTF - 8. Most of the languages are displayed fine in the dynamic text fields that are all embedded in Arial. The issue I have recently run into is with the French and Czech languages. In both languages the white space that follows a number is always removed. For example "20 minutes" would be displayed as "20minutes". Then in the Czech language I am also loosing spaces after certain letters, such as "a" and "v".

detect current frame number of a movie clip inside a loaded external swf?
its like this, i have a main swf, lets call it "loader_swf", inside the loader_swf i create a movie clip called "holder_mc" which loads an external swf, lets call it "ex_swf". The ex_swf has a movie clip in frame 2 which is the main animation of ex_swf. Is it possible to get the current frame number of the movie clip holding the animation on frame 2? the only thing i know is to get the current frame of main timeline of ex_swf.

We have a Flash game which need to be loaded and played from an AIR app. using the swf loader, the game swf is loaded into the AIR app. But the static background layers of the swf are not appearing in the loaded game.
Those graphical elements which are generated via action script only are appearing. When we are playing it independently (outside the AIR app), it works fine. Is there a setting that i am missing in Flash or Flex. we are working with Flex 4.

Does anyone know how to use the Loader method of this class? I want to play a movieclip in the loading position rather than a textbar which increases... All of the examples I've seen so far only show the latter of the two options... I can use loadMovie() and achieve what I want, but the MovieClipLoader class is the future.

I followed the example from a previous question and I am loading an external swf using a loader and inside the loader event handler I am trying to cast the loader.content as my custom class PanelReferenceClip which extends MovieClip
When I publish I receive a this error:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
Just to make sure and test that the swf location was correct and the swf was actually being loaded, I changed the type of the content to as MovieClip and it worked fine.
EDIT: I also wanted to add that these swfs are being stored locally and not being pulled across the internet, multiple networks or servers.
I am not sure if I did something quirky in my class so I am providing the source to my custom class PanelReferenceClip
package com.components
{
import com.UI.DevicePanel;
import flash.display.MovieClip;

I'm making a screensaver where random characters in different positions and sizes walk/run across the screen. It seemed simple enough, and everything appears as they should. However, none of the Movieclips move forward on the stage. Here's the code on the first frame of the timeline, bolded lines are points of possible concern:
Code:
import flash.utils.*;
var timer:Timer=new Timer(5555);
timer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, makeCharacter);
timer.start();
function makeCharacter(e:TimerEvent):void {
[Code] .....
And here's the code found in each movieclip:
var isOnStage:Boolean = true;
With no errors to go off of, I'm unsure how to proceed.

I'm having a problem with removeChild(x) not completing purging the object. I run an if statement to see if the object is null before creating a new one, once I create it the first time it is never null even after I removeChild(x) so the if statement fails.Note: There aren't any external EventListeners in the shop to removethis seems like a simple fix and is driving me up a wall In the parent I start off with a placeholder:

I am making a game and the setup for the "hero" MovieClip is as following: The first frame contains a movieclip that has the feet and the walk animation has a stop on the first frame and a movieclip of a class. This class checks if an arrowkey is pressed and then plays the walk animation. Now when you jump, the original hero MovieClip skips to a frame that shows the feet in a jumping position. Of course, now the whole feet-walk movieclip isn't there anymore. But now the walkanimation-class fires a million errors, because it can't play, obviously.
What I want to do is, for the walkanimation class to only "react" when the movieclip that is connected to the class is existing right at the moment. Apparently right now the class reacts all the time.

I use this class as a base for all my streaming sound. It gives you two missing properties not available in the Sound class: a reliable soundchannel always available for referencing and a latency value indicating how long it took for your last call to play() to actually play the sound.

I want to create a movieclip class that subclasses another movieclip class and inherits all its properties (rather than having to rely on the include statement). In my project I'm using:An abstract parent class that extends a movieClip: "infantryDroid".[code]However everytime I try this, flash acts as though nothing was imported from the parent movieclip class.If I was to try the above code I would get the message that _root and speed (which were defined in the parent class) "are undefined".
