I am trying to create a small game but would like to do the following:I have four Movie Clips, named rather imaginatively clip1, clip2, clip3, clip4.Now what I would like to do is store those MovieClip names in an array so that I can use them in a for next loop.
a[]=new Array('clip1','clip2','clip3','clip4');
for(n=0;n<a.length;n++){
// How do I call the MovieClip so I can manipulate it
[code]......
Does anyone know the best method to trigger a function in the root from a dynamically loaded movieclip (loaded using addchild) using AS3, I understand targeting root is not the best way to do this?
View 2 RepliesI'm dynamically adding to the stage a series of mc from a MovieClip class contained in the library(instance.name: "btn_1", btn_2", etc..) and trying to call them from a method within my Main.as class. What's the best way to do this. I can't seem to reach these dynamically created MCs.

Something like that. However, my issue is not selecting a movieclip dynamically, but selecting another movieclip dynamically within a dynamically selected movieclip.

View 4 RepliesI have tried this for a couple of days. I created a swf object in window.onload (also tried load it directly), call an as function from js. statically embedded swf works for both IE8 and FF, FF also fine for dynamically loading. externalinterface.call("echo", "as returns " + b); always shows "as returns false".
//js
<script language="javascript">
var containerready=false,flashready=false;
[code]........
What I have:A swf exports a function via ExternalInterfaceJavascript creates new embed object and adds it to the documentCalling flash functions works fine in other browsersCalling flash functions will fail in IE 8Example of exporting functions in swf:
flash.external.ExternalInterface.addCallback("isActive", ...
Example of creating the embed object:
var b = document.createElement('embed');
[code].....
I'm trying to build an API in JS that will perform some operations and then execute the callback that's registered in AS when it's done. Because it's an API, I am just providing a JS method signature for another developer to call in Flash. Thus, the callback name that's registered in the AS part of the code should be a parameter that's passed in to the JS API in order for JS to communicate back to Flash.
For example:
[AS3 code]
ExternalInterface.addCallback("flashCallbackName", processRequest);
ExternalInterface.call("namespace.jsFnToCall", flashCallbackName);
function processRequest(data:String):void {
//do stuff
[Code] .....
Because the definition of the function is in AS, I can't use the window [function name] approach. The only way I can think of is to build the callback in a string and then use the eval() to execute it.
I'm attempting to call a Class constructor dynamically using factories:
ActionScript Code:
public function construct(classRef:Class, initArgs:Array):* {
var factory:ClassFactory = new ClassFactory(classRef);
var classInstance:* = factory.newInstance();
return classInstance;
}
This works just fine, except when the constructor of the classRef being passed in requires arguments, as in the sample class below:
ActionScript Code:
public class Foo
{
public function Foo(arg:String) {
[code]....
Is there any way I can call construct(Foo, "Hello World") and have it properly pass the parameters to Foo's constructor? (I'm not locked in ClassFactory, by the way, I also tried classRef.apply(initArgs) and a few other hacks to no avail.)
This AS3 function works for normal methods and getter methods:
public function MyClassTestAPI(functionName:String, ...rest):* {
var value:*;
try {
[Code]......
I have an object MyTester, that has an instance of another class MyClass, and I want to test MyClass API through it:
public class MyTester {
internal var myObj:MyClass;
public function MyTester() {
[Code].....
How can I cancel the switch and make it work for any number of arguments?

View 4 Repliesi have some actionscript that makes a
ExternalInterface.call('someFunction');
call.is it possible to reference the html object that made the call to someFunction directly using the ExternalInterface.call call?
Assume that the object that makes the call also has some Callbacks (via ExternalInterface.addCallback) that are accessible via javascript.
Currently:
Actionscript source
ExternalInterface.call("someFunction");
ExternalInterface.addCallback("someCallback",someASfunction);
