ActionScript 3.0 :: Multiple External Actionscript Files
Jul 23, 2009
I want to start making my flash projects more modular by creating external actionscript files for each part of my projects.For example, if my project were to create a car, I would break the car into a set of classes; a class for the body, a class for the engine, a class for the wheels, ect.So here's my question(s). Should I just keep all of my classes in the Document class? even though doing this wont modularize my project?Now, I know how to make external actionscript files for each class, but how do i link (I don't know if "link" is the correct terminology or not) the external actionscript files together to get them to work together?Do I have to instantiate the external actionscript files on the time line for each class?

I'm making a site that my clients will be able to log into, in order to check their status with my company.
Basically, I have the following dynamic text fields (instance names);
ActionScript Code:
/*
mayPay
junePay
julyPay
[Code]....
I will have .txt files uploaded to my server which I will be able to edit on the fly. I am just having trouble setting it up.
I can find a way where I am able to load one external text file into a dynamic text field, but not multiple..

I'm working in Flash MX
I made a site completly in flash.
But to lower file size I made the each section a different swf file
when you click a link you will have to wait for that section to load, it would be good if peoples can see the loading progress while they r waiting.
And i hav added a preloader in each of the external swf file.. and then i realise that if i wanna change or modify the preloader, i will have to change all the preloader too.. this is really kicking axx..
is there a way where on the main page there is only 1 preloader needed to show all the external swf files loading progress? i am using an empty mc as container to load thoose external swf files..

I am trying to find a way that I can print a range of jpgs that aren't currently loaded in my movie.
I have a list of thumbnails of photos (with correlating larger version residing externally)each with a number. I want the user to be able to specify a range they would like to print. I think I've gotten close by trying to create a new cast member and load the jpg into it for each one in the range. However my movie keeps hanging and not responding why I try that method.

I have a file (main.fla) which loads external movieclips on it,using an empty movieclip as loader (loader_mc).Now,I want to create a navigation,with two buttons (previous / next) which will allow me to navigate through the external movieclips.So,I have created these two buttons.For the "next" button I am using this code,to load the first external swf file (example1.swf):
Code:
on (release) {
if(this._parent.loader == Number(this._parent.loader_mc)){

I'm fairly new to AS3 but this seems like a pretty basic thing to do.

I have a drop down menu whereby the clicking of a button causes it to move to a specific keyframe in the timeline. I also have multiple buttons which load external swf files.The problem is when i navigate to the drop down menu the loaded external files keep dissapering because they are not on the keyframe where the drop down menu is actuated. Is there any way of coding it so that which ever swf file is loaded remains there whilst the drop down menu moves to its specific stage in the timeline?

I have been working on this script that currently loads 2 external files into two separate areas inside my application. the 2nd file loaded is supposed to have several buttons that control the 1st movie clip. Like go to next frame, etc. My problem now is the 2nd file loaded, is not controlling the 1st anymore ( i had this all sitting in one file before).
So the action script to load the files is;
Code:
this.myBtn.onRelease = function() {
//load render 1 into viewer
this._parent.viewer.createEmptyMovieClip("clipHold", this.getNextHighestDepth());

I am trying to eliminate the Loader component from a project. Run locally, the Loader is sufficient to load-up the voiceover swf files that exist on many of the frames in the parent file. On the web, the short download delays at runtime due to the Loader are causing timing issues. I'm not sure if there is a way to preload multiple swfs into specific frames of a parent file so that they are available before runtime.

I'm working on making a pretty chunky game engine for games I plan on making, but I was wondering if you make external AS files unopenable such as .lib files, so that if I give it to a friend that wants to use it, he/she cannot change my code. Is there anyway to make external AS files unopenable? Also, obfuscation isn't an option for this problem as it only stops the people who hack the finished product, not stopping people who have access to the actual files.

I have a problem when making flash applications with more than one frame that has symbols placed on it in that I can't declare all of the event listeners for the objects at the same time and I have found that even if I put them all on the first frame, add the event listeners, then click through to the next frame then the buttons won't work on that frame.
Does anyone have any idea how I could solve this? I did consider myself a fairly competent AS3 programmer until I realised I had no idea how to handle this sort of thing. Solved: I initialised the clips from my external class and then addChild'd and removeChild'd them as I needed to and placed their x and y on addChilding.

Structure: There is 1 main file that loads external SWF files depending on what is clicked on.One of the external SWF files loads its text from external text files. This works fine when viewing the SWF applet on its own. But when viewing as a whole site, the text doesnt appear. Very annoying.I made that particular SWF on my mums computer running Flash MX 2004The flash file itself uses the Scrollbar component from MX.Could someone tell me why the text doesnt load in this scenario? It runs fine on its own, just not as an external SWF.

I spent almost a week trying to figure out how to unload a currently loaded swf using its button and loading a new swf... I have three files, a main.fla, file1.fla and file2.fla. In my main.fla, I have a code which loads the other two files. If i will click the "unload" button in the file1.swf, I would like the main.fla to unload the file1.swf and load the other file, file2.swf. Here is the code to load the file1.swf:

Lets say I have subgallery.swf file that loads jpeg images. And I have gallery.swf file that loads subgallery.swf.The jpeg images and both swf files are in the same folder.When I test gallery.swf it loads subgallery.swf but subgallery.swf doesn't load images. When testing subgallery.swf alone, it loads jpeg files.Is there any limitation or setting preventing external swfs loading other content?

I've got an external .as file in the same folder as my flash file. In the process of writing the code, whenever I make a change and then test the movie, the flash movie is obviously still looking at the OLD information. I tried using the "Delete ASO Files" on the menu, to no avail.I can' find these ASO files anywhere on mycomputer.Aha! I tried something else. I quit flash,restarted and ran the same script with no changes. It returned the data correctly, but then gave me this unpleasant message:256 levels of recursion were exceeded in one action list.This is probably an infinite loop.Further execution of actions has been disabled in this movie.There are no loops of any kind in the code, which is below.
//This is the Person.as file:
class Person { public var HomName:String = "unknown"; public var HomEmail:String = "unknown"; public var HomPhone:String = "unknown"; public var HomSaveFreq:Number = 0;

I have two flash files that I would like to play back to back in the same location on my site. I would like one to play, and then when it's done, I want the other to play in its location.
I googled around and read up on the loadmovie variable, which I thought that is what I needed, but it isn't working.
To start out, what I did was create a new flash file, then I inserted an image into the timeline on its own layer, converted it to a movie clip (named pic_mc), did a fadeout effect on that image, then I created a new layer, and on the frame directly after the image, I put the following:
Code:
loadMovie("/images/preferred-reseller-hosting-0001.swf", "pic_mc")
I then ran a test (ctrl+enter) and all I see is the fade out image, and not the other flash movie. I even uploaded the .swf to my site and tested it there in a real world situation, and it didn't work. It just fades the image out and restarts the movie.

I've managed to piece together a flash website with my limited as3 knowledge. The text is loaded from external text files and styled with an external css file.
It's working perfectly in Firefox and Explorer but it only works SOME of the time in Safari (on my mac).It's hit and miss. Sometimes it styles the text sometimes it doesn't.

I want to have a TV screen and hundreds of (small) flash animations load up in the 'TV'. I'm assuming I'm going to have to use Actionscript, so I'm looking into that right now. However, what would be the best way to organise this? Each "TV" will have a different set of "Channels". Do I create each 'channel' and save them as seperate SWF files, or is it possible to have them all in one main file. I can then flick through each 'channel', which essentially unloads the current animation and loads the next one

i'm making a simple portfolio site, and bringing in a series of jpeg files using a 'for' loop and the Loader class. once all the files are loaded in, i'd like to just be able to add, remove, tween, etc... the items from the stage as need-be by using instance names, such as movie clips or Sprites. but for some reason, i cannot seem to figure out how to have each image, as its loaded in, be separately accessable to me after the loop has completed.

I have a series of animations of graphs etc in different flash files. Tried to put everything on the one timeline but was getting way too confusing so thought I would put each part in a separate flash file.
What I want to do is, once one file has come to an end load the next one up to play and so on. This is all part of a presentation so the user will click the keyboard to progress to the next file.
I'm using Flash CS4 on a Mac with Action Script 3.0.
