ActionScript 3.0 :: Passing Values Child To Child?

Jul 8, 2009

I am a bit of a noob, and I'm having a problem. I had posted about this before but I think I was explaining what I need to do in way to much of a complicated manner so I'm going to try and simplify this a bit. I have 5 swf's.

- main.swf (parent)
- child01.swf
- child02.swf

ActionScript 3.0 :: Passing Variables To Child MC?

Jul 23, 2009

I've been using Flash for years but only recently started doing anything with AS3. I am using SlideShowPro and SlideShowPro Thumbgrid which are both AS3 components, hence the move. I am finding the move incredibly frustrating.Anyway, on to my problem. My parent movie is loading a child SWF. The child SWF needs to read a variable from the parent but I can't work out how as the old syntax is not working.My loading AS looks like this:

ActionScript Code:
var loadit = new Loader();
addChild(loadit);

Jul 9, 2009

I have a movieclip, with the instance name SizingBox, on the main timeline. Within that mc, I have a Slider component, with the instance name Sizer. I want to declare an action listener on the main timeline which will listen to changes for Sizer and do something based on the current value of the slider.In AS2 this was really easy, but I cannot seem to figure it out for AS3.

Code:
var X = SizingBox.Sizer.value;
this code gives an error.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Values Of Holder And Child Alpha?

Dec 16, 2009

If my holder's alpha equals 0 can its child's alpha be effectively > 0 ? In my case I have holders (custom clases) with many children, some of which are holders them selves (with their own children and holders and so on).

I would like to:
-pick out a single holder from the 'tree'
-have all of the 1st level children of that are NOT holders themselves have an alpha of 1.

AS3 :: Flash - Passing Variables From Parent To Child?

Oct 14, 2011

I'm trying to access some variables from my parent in my child MC.

Parent code:

var data_history:String;
function finish_checkUp(event:Event):void{
var checkUp_stat:String;

[Code]....

Now as you can see, i have tried the trace method, but with no luck. Flash doesn't report any errors regarding the trace method, but does report the two undefined vars (data_history). Ive tried to use the trace method above all the functions, at the top of the script, still the same errors though.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Passing Variables To A Child After It Is On The Stage?

Sep 30, 2009

I am not sure if I'm being completely stupid here, so my apologies in advance. If I have an object on the stage for example:

ball:Ball = new Ball();
addChild(ball);

it already has .x and .y values as it is placed on the stage.Then I have some value inputs, such as force, angle etc.Now when I click an event listener I want it to activate a function in Ball that will move it from the values I have just set.My question is how do I carry those values across after the ball has already been place on the stage?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Passing Txt Variable Through Parent To Child?

Apr 7, 2011

I have a simple BOOK script where I have 10 pages (for example purposes). Each page has a vocabulary word on it. Currently, I simply created a vocabulary MC separately for each page and it works fine. Problem is, that leaves me with 10 Vocabulary pages and I would rather have 1 that loads info based on a var on the main page.

WORKING SCRIPT
var loaderZ:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
loaderZ.dataFormat = URLLoaderDataFormat.VARIABLES;
loaderZ.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, loading);

[Code].....

I am getting the word "depressed" from page 1 (verified by trace) Unfortuntely this does not work.

If I change the last line of code to:

VocText.htmlText = loaderZ.data = word;

Then it outputs the word DEPRESSED to the text field VocText but does not return the value from the txt file.

Passing A State To The Child Button Of A Flex4 ButtonBar?

Apr 16, 2011

I have a Spark ButtonBar that has a custom skin, which defines a custom skin for the "middleButton" requirement. My CustomButtonBarSkin has a custom state, minimized, which I want to pass into my middleButton skin so it can modify its design.

Is it possible to do this? I can see that my button skin could use parentDocument.currentState to get the minimized state, but that's really ugly. Any way to pass a skin from the bar to the child button(s)?

ActionScript 2.0 :: Passing Variables From Parent Flash Into Child?

Jul 26, 2010

how can I pass a variable from a parent flash file to a child flash file which it calls?We have a parent flash file which imports various child flash files based on instructions in an XML file. It's probably easier to see an example - opg2DOTcoDOTuk/flash/yay.html (replace the DOTs, couldn't post an url due to restrictions) - the text above each page, and the 'enlarge page' lightbox links are all in seperate flash files (one per double page) which are brought in, depending on the pages you are looking at, based on the instructions in an XML file which looks like this...

<page ani_swf="pages/text1.swf">pages/white.jpg</page>
<page ani_swf="pages/text1.swf">pages/0001.jpg</page>
<page ani_swf="pages/text2.swf">pages/0002.jpg</page>
<page ani_swf="pages/text2.swf">pages/0003.jpg</page>

etc, where the swf is the header flash file containing the text and one or two lightbox links, and the jpg files are the page images that appear.We had to repeat the imported child flash file because of a glitch when you go backwards through the book otherwise.

This system has been fine for us up until now but recently we've had to look at making it a dynamic system, so the content of the book can be varied depending on a variable being passed into the parent file via FlashVars...

<param name="FlashVars" value="zone=1" />
<embed src="newbook3.swf" FlashVars="zone=1" ....etc

This makes the book load an xml file called "1"). This is fine, except we also need to vary the 'enlarge page' target images to match.The 'enlarge page' links are currently hard coded into each child flash file, like this...

on (release){
getURL("javascript:SWFDelegate('imagename.jpg','Ex ample');");
}

- What we've tried so far:

1. Trying to pass the variables in querystrings from the XML
eg.

<page ani_swf="pages/text2.swf?var1=image1&var2=image2">pages/0002.jpg</page>
<page ani_swf="pages/text2.swf?var1=image1&var2=image2">pages/0003.jpg</page>

with the child flash setting it's action like this...

on (release){
var image1 = var1 + ".jpg"
getURL("javascript:SWFDelegate(image1,'Example');" );
}

I'm not sure if the syntax here is correct. We have to add the ".jpg" in here because, as far as I understand it, you can't pass "." in a querystring.

2. Passing the variables for the child into the parent

I read somewhere that variables passed to a parent are automatically available to a child. Not sure if this is true, but it didn't work for me when I tried it like...

<param name="FlashVars" value="zone=1?var1=image1&var2=image2" />
<embed src="newbook3.swf" FlashVars="zone=1?var1=image1&var2=image2" ....etc

Combined with...

on (release){
var image1 = var1 + ".jpg"
getURL("javascript:SWFDelegate(image1,'Example');" );
}

...in the child button action.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Load Child Swf In Different Domains And Passing Params?

Mar 24, 2011

I have a parent swf that loads a child swf and attempts to pass some data into the child.

The process works fine if parent and child are located in the same domain (lets say domainA.com).

As soon as I place the child swf into domainB.com and try to load it, it will load in the parent, but it is not loading the values.

Crossdomain policies are in place (the child does load!), but the params are not sent.[code]...

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.
