ActionScript 3.0 :: Pass Parameters From Parent To Child Swf?

Sep 8, 2009

I have made a piece of flash that runs on an xml document and now I need to pass a flash variable (via the html swfobject) to the flash to dictate this xml location. The variable is successfully passed if I embed the main swf straight into the swfobject.The problem is I am using a preloader swf to load the main swf onto the page and I can't seem to work out how to pass the variable (from swfobject) from the preloader to the main swf.

Actionscript 3 :: Pass Data From Parent Swf To Child Swf?

Jul 22, 2011

I have two swf, A.swf and B.swf: B.swf is a child of A.swf. Each swf has its DocumentClass. Now: I must pass 4 arrays from A.swf to the DocumentClass of B.swf. Which could be the best way? Is a listener in B.swf a good idea? I noticed there's the possibility to send data over the querystring but I would like to avoid this solution, if possible.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Pass Variable From Parent To Child Swf Via FlashVars?

Jun 19, 2009

I'm passing a number in my HTML through FlashVars to a swf, I load an external swf into that parent swf which needs the variable that I passed.

I can use the variable passed in the parent, but I just can't understand how to attain that value in the child swf.

I've been looking into dispatch event but it seems way overkill. Haven't seen any examples dealing with something so simple.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Parent.removeChild(child) Doesn't Update Parent Width / Height When Child Was Rotated

Jul 29, 2011

I got a Parent Sprite, let's name it SpriteP, which holds inside it two other Sprites. Sprite1 and Sprite2.[code]Sprite2 is a rectangle. When I rotate it, of course, the height of its parent, SpriteP, GROWS. But I would expect that height to go back to what it should be when I'm removing Sprite2!And it does! If I remove Sprite2 while NOT being rotated, the height of the parent drops back to normal, 200.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Positioning Parent MC In Order To Center Child MC On Parent's Parent MC

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]

ActionScript 3.0 :: Add A Clip To The Stage As A Child And Remove The Parent And Set The Parent Equal To Null?

Sep 11, 2010

if 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.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Tab Indexing Loop Through Parent, External Child Swf, Back To Parent?

Nov 11, 2009

I 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 :: DropTarget Parent Child - Removechild Won't Remove A Child

Aug 21, 2010

I have an issue where removechild won't infact remove a child. I think its something to do with my dropTarget.parent issues. The concept of the code is that you drag a source onto a destination. When you drop the source onto the destination you will get a text field that says "Hello" or "Goodbye". The objective i want to achive is that once i drop a source onto the destination, removechild will remove any previouse textfields added. This is proving difficult.

Flash - Drag Child Mc Out Of Parent Mc And Add To New Parent Mc?

Oct 6, 2010

ball.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, pickUp);
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, dropIt);
function pickUp(event:MouseEvent):void{ [code]...

It works well but I'm new to AS3 and I am having difficulty amending this script to drag the ball out of a parent mc (instead of the stage) and onto another mc (the target mc). To explain: imagine a ball, a box, a tri, + more shapes all within a scrolling mc (initial parent), the user scrolls to select a shape, then drag-drops onto a target mc on the stage.The scrolling is no problem, but how would you amend the script above so that the ball can start inside a parent mc rather than on the stage itself?

Pass Parameters From HTML To The SWF File?

Jun 13, 2009

I've created a very simple video player that I want to use with many different FLV files on my site. Rather than packaging SWF files with each FLV, I'd like to just design one SWF file and have the corresponding HTML file pass the URL of the FLV as a parameter to the SWF. I've read a lot about passing in parameters from HTML to SWF using AS3, and it seems pretty straightforward.  Here's an example of the code I created using Flash CS3 and ActionScript 3.0:
 
this.loaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,loaderComplete);
function loaderComplete(evt:Event):void {
//traceText.text = "Loaded";

[Code]....
 
Note that I'm using the variable "userName" to pass the parameter.  Eventually I'd use a variable like "movieURL" to convey the actual URL of the FLV file.  In any case, when I run the code, I get ... nothing!  Nothing but a blank text box.  Both the HTML and SWF files are on my local machine.
 
If I uncomment the "//traceText.text = Loaded" line, the text box says "Loaded", which would indicate that the event listener is functioning properly.

I am trying to use FlashVars to pass a parameter that will determine which graphic to load into my movie. The test actionscript code uses a dynamic text field called dText and is coded as follows (testing the FlashVars by passing them to a dynamic text field):

function loaderComplete(myEvent:Event){
var flashVars=this.loaderInfo.parameters;
dText.text=flashVars.userName; }
this.loaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, loaderComplete);

In my html code I am adding:
<PARAM NAME=FlashVars VALUE="userName=SamG" />
FlashVars="userName=SamG" // added to the embed tag

ActionScript 3.0 :: Pass Parameters Through Eventlisteners?

Jun 11, 2010

Inside a .fla file I have some buttons and each button will tween a different image to the stage. All the images are outside the stage in the same x and y position and I just need to tween the x coordinate.

Now I'm working with an external document class where I'm trying to hold all my functions and I'm stucked with the Tweens. I'm willing to stay away from the flash tween engine and I'm trying to work with tweenLite.
 
Is it possible to pass parameters through eventListeners so I can use something like this inside my docClass?
 
public function animeThis (e:MouseEvent, mc:MovieClip, ep:int):void { //ep stands for endPoint.
TweenLite.to(mc, 2, {x:ep});
}
 
If this is possible, how am I supposed to write the listeners so it will pass the event to be listened for AND those parameters? And how to build the function so it will receive those parameters and the event?
