ActionScript 3.0 :: OOP - Calling Function In Root?
Dec 23, 2009
This is kinda complicated, and I'm still trying to wrap my head around the whole concept of OOP. So right now I am building a XML Gallery, and in the FLA (Root) I've added the thumbnails. Everytime the thumbnails been clicked, it will bring up the "Detail" movieclip, which also is created in the root. And inside the Detail movieclip, I am creating a few buttons with an external class. My question is how can I call a function in the FLA (Root) when I click on the buttons inside the Detail movieclip? Note it seems I've successfully import my external class in both the root and the Detail movieclip.

Actionscript Code:[code]..........When you click a button in the nav it loads a movieclip to the stage from the library, inside this movieclip I have a row of buttons,when you click one of these I want to call the function in the movieclip on the root (ie. the function inside "bgImg" .

i've got this mc component i've created and reuse on some sites i've made. It's a real simple shoutbox that grabs info from a database using a php script.What i'd like to do is have this component refresh every 200 frames, which means, grab most current msgs and post them in the database.so for example, i have a movieclip called MC1. there's a function in MC1 that goes like: grabdata = function() {}; this basically calls the php scripts, loads the info, and so on.i wanna call this function from the root or even a parent MC.I have considered using prototypes or a class, but i dont think it's really necessary for something that seems basic enough.

I'm switching from as2 to as3 and everything was going swimmingly with my new site until i tried to use a _root call to a function on the main timeline by a loaded movieClip that is loaded nested into 2 other movieclips. the movieClip needs to tell the _root when it's done playing so the root knows to load the next one in line through a php call. Everything works except for the _root call. In as3 there's no such thing as root anymore so I figured no big deal, i'll just find out what the new thing is and holy crap wtf! I can't figure this out!! I've read from doing stuff like custom eventLisnters (which i am trying now) and casting the root as a movieClip and then I read this whole crazy tutorial on building an event structure and the proper MVC way of coding and blah blah blah ALL I WANT TO DO is tell the _root that the loaded MC has reached the end of its timeline. Basically if it were as2 i could just go _root.loadNext(); and it would work.how to make a loaded MC talk to the _root timeline and call a funciton from there?

I'm having a few problems with the php tutorial. I've got all the actions in my main timeline and calling them using instances. I have a mc called formset with an instance of formset in which is another mc called form with an instance of form which on the mc has the following code -
onClipEvent(data){
// show welcome screen
_root.formset.nextFrame();
}
I have a submit and back buttons with the following syntax -
formset.submit.submitbutton.onRelease = function(){
this.formset.form.loadVariables("email.php", "POST");[code]..........
I've a feeling I'm calling the timelines wrong with the root handlers etc.

If I have a movieclip loaded with Loader and I want it to call back down to the movie that loaded it how do i do that? Referencing a root object just gets me to the root of the child not to the main stage.

For some reason, the same code works now, without any problem at all. I don't know what happened, or why, but I no longer have this problem Here's the original post: To put simply, I created a MovieClip, put it with addChild() to stage, and when I tried to call this piece of code:

im attempting to keep it as portable as possible so its easier to edit later, and i dont have to go around copying/pasting too much code. - i'll cut to the chase..
On my main timeline, i load all the image-file names, as variables.. using loadvars into thumbnails, which ive given instancenames Loader_1 to Loader_20, inside these thumbnails is the Loader component Thumb_1. Here is the code on the main timeline, to load these variables.
Code:
BigLoader._visible = false;
var my_lv:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
// load variable function
[Code]....
how i could make this more portable without -completely- changing the format its in [so i can still understand it]

I've been trying to put together a function that I can reference through various symbols in a movie to fade their alpha properties. So far all I've found is code that forces me to reference the specific symbol in the function, however I have to do this to a BUNCH of symbols over different periods within my timeline, part of which will be triggered by a loaded movie. Any function that will fade up or down that can sit on the _root. and be referenced by any symbol whenever needed?

I'm trying to get this one function to be able to call many functions (not at once, but call many possible ones)In other words, I'm trying to get this variable to be named as a function. That way, this one variable can create multiple functions.example:
actionscript Code:
class Thing extends MovieClip{ var funcvar; var othervar; function onLoad() funcvar = "YYY"; othervar = "ZZZ"; function onEnterFrame()
