Communicate Between Loaded And Parent Swf?
Mar 8, 2009I started learning the basics of as3.0 a year ago by doing a lot of experiments.. I never read a book or took lessons or something.. I guess i'm still missing important logics when i'm programming. I'm creating my personal flash imagegallery but I can't figure out how to communicate between a loaded swf and its parent swf.
I have a main.swf file with document class main.as which loads external swf files into a movie container. I am also loading a background sound like[code]...
The only work around I was thinking about would be to keep showing the stop/start sound button from the main.swf when a slideshow instance is called.. but then I'll screw up my design I want a second button inside the slideshow that can also stop the main bg sound.
ActionScript 2.0 :: [CS3] Parent And Child Communicate?
Feb 14, 2011I've made a big pretty website. So big and so pretty that it takes more than two minutes to load. I figured I could make it smaller by breaking it up into separate swfs and loading them into a holder as required, but I have no idea how to make them talk to eachother. I'll give a basic example.So, i've loaded up my movie into the holder movie with:loadMovie("page1.swf","page1MC");and in page1.swf there is a button called "page1_buttonA". In the old giant overweight site, onRelease it did a gotoAndPlay, but now I would like it to load the next part excitingly named page2.swf. For my own sanity's sake I'd like to keep the most of the code controlling all the to-ing and fro-ing in the holder movie. So, what's the format (syntax?) for getting the holder movie to notice what happens in the child movie and getting it to react accordingly?
//button that loads page 2
page1MC.page1_buttonA.onRelease = function() {
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("page2MC",2);

ActionScript 3.0 :: Can't Get Movie Clip To Communicate With Its Parent?
Aug 29, 2009Within ninja.swf, there are six scenes, and in the later 5 scenes, there is an movie clip (consule2)with has a halfdozen buttons (of which one is home_btn) that serve as the navigation across the site. So, in the consule2, I set up an Actions layer, and for Home_btn, have created this piece of code:

ActionScript 3.0 :: Swf Parent Player / Loader?
Feb 22, 2011Id like some help creating a file that will load separate SWF files that I have created for my website. So far I have created the first SWF file which includes an animated intro, functions (mainly enlarge thumbnail images and buttons for more info), and an outro (again animated out of stage).
What Id like to create is a parent file that loads SWF1, then when its loaded SWF2 is loaded ready to be told to play via a next button or after a period of time the SWF file is automatically loaded (which would require the outro of SWF1 to be played then the intro of SWF2 following straight after.
I�ve had little experience with action script, the last time I used tried this was in AS2 and I found that difficult enough but AS3 has me stumped (though its becoming more familiar)

The effect I'm trying to create is I want to position the GameStage so that the currently selected soldier appears in the center of the GameClicker clip.The GameStage is movable by the player (to scan other areas of the map)by holding the CTRL key, so it's easy to kinda lose track of where your players are.I have tried using localTo Global and globalToLocal techniques, but I think I'm lost on the actual math of getting the GameStage to move the correct distance so that the selected soldier is centered to the GameClicker.[code]

View 2 RepliesActionScript 3.0 :: Add A Clip To The Stage As A Child And Remove The Parent And Set The Parent Equal To Null?
Sep 11, 2010if I add a clip to the stage as a child and remove the parent and set the parent equal to null, does the child get collected and removed from memory? What if the child has an image loaded into it as its child?
In my application I'm loading a series of png images as overlays that can be tinted for customizing in this app. When I trace my memory, the basic app idles at 64,000 k. The exact second I load those overlay images it goes up to 205,000k. If I remove those clips and "clear" the stage I should go back down to 64,000 k if everything is removed and collected correctly, right? It's not, it's hanging at 215,000 k. Are my images being cached and that is the reason for the memory staying up? If so, how do I prevent that. Or upon removing the parent of the image how can I un-cache the image.
If a user switches between models and loads several different items then the application actually crashes the Flash environment because of too much memory usage. It also does the same to browsers.

View 9 RepliesFlash :: Drag And Drop Application Where Mc Is Dragged Out Of One Parent Mc And Dropped Into Another Parent Mc?
Nov 13, 2010Simple drag and drop application where mc is dragged out of one parent mc and dropped into another parent mc.All works OK until I added 2 text boxes to the mc's -- one is a non-selectable dynamic text box (a label) which is set by the code, the other is selectable input text that the user can amend.
Finger cursor disappears when user hovers over the section of the mc that contains the text fields (even non-selectable text??) When the user trys to drag the mc by inadvertantly click-dragging anywhere within both text areas it causes this error: TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert flash.text::TextField@2374a381 to flash.display. MovieClip (same error appears for both text boxes)
The input text box may confuse the user - how do they sometimes click to drag and sometimes click to amend? I need to create an overlay area within the mc that is click-detected for the drag? Here's the relevant bits of code:

ActionScript 3.0 :: Tab Indexing Loop Through Parent, External Child Swf, Back To Parent?
Nov 11, 2009I have a parent swf which loads many child swfs (though only one is displayed at a time). My intention was to use the loaded SWFs document class to retrieve an array of objects to be assigned a tab index, combine this with the parent's own array of objects and apply sequential tab indices to them all. But what happens is actually that the parent's objects are assigned an index, but the external swf is unaffected. In fact, the external swf retains its automatic tab indexing, when I would expect that having set a value for InteractiveObject.tabIndex, automatic tab indexing would be disabled.
I've seen similar tales elsewhere. Most posts I've read are wanting to load an external swf, give it focus and loop through those objects, then close the swf and return to looping through the parent. However I would like loop through all objects as one. including manipulating the focus manager(s), and basically fiddling with every tab-related property I know.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Loader Or Loader Context - Container Loads The Module From An Absolute Path
Jan 23, 2009I have two swf files, each one almost with the same classes, the most important one is a Singleton class, each swf does "singleton.getInstance()". The diference is that one swf is like a container and the other one is like a module. So when the container loads the module from an absolute path like loader.load("file://c:/modules/module.swf") or loader.load("[URL]"), two different singletons (same class) are created
But when the container loads from a relative path like loader.load("module.swf") , just one singleton is created (that is what I want) I am just intrigued with this behavior, could someone explain me this? PD: I believe is something related to loaderContext and applicationDomain but It also appears that isn't working right. -Patricio Foieri , Vertigo Labs
ActionScript 3.0 :: Loader Event.INIT Fires But Loader.content Is Null?
May 9, 2009The title describes the problem: Loader.load() is firing the INIT event, but in my listener it's reporting loader.content as null. The description for INIT event is "Dispatched by the associated LoaderInfo object when the properties and methods of the loaded SWF file are accessible."I'm loading a lot of JPG images, and 95 percent of the time it works fine; the init listener fires and reports valid loader. content.I absolutely need loader.content available because I need to set the bitmap smoothing property to true.I've tried using Event.COMPLETE and it has the exact same problematic behavior.

ActionScript 3.0 :: ADDED Event In Loader.load And Loader.loadBytes
Sep 13, 2010I got this very strange behavior from FlashPlayer debugger 10.1 r82. When I call loader.load method, no ADDED event is dispatched to the loader object. But if I open the file and call loader.loadBytes instead, an ADDED event is dispatched to the loader object. I suspect the ADDED event is dispatched because the content is being set as the child of Loader object, but why in the other case it is not dispatched?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Keeping Loader Contents After Loader Removed From Memory
Aug 21, 2009I'm loading some images with Loaders, cloning the BitmapData to a new Bitmap, and adding the Bitmap as a child of a Sprite. So far, so good. I want the Loaders I'm using to be removed by garbage collection, which they seem to be. The problem, or so it seems, is that when the Loaders are cleaned up, the Bitmaps I'm creating lose their data.
Edit: All this is happening when a class is instanced, and many copies of this class are being used as actors in a game. As the Actors are being created the older ones are losing their BitmapData to garbage cleanup. When all of them are finally loaded, only the last few are visible. I've rewritten my posted code as a class. If I prevent the Loaders from being cleaned up by somehow keeping a reference to them, the Bitmaps don't lose the data, but I don't want these Loaders hanging around.
