ActionScript 3.0 :: Reading Variables In Main Clip?
Jul 6, 2010
I have an app that sets a user id on the main timeline (main). It then loads a swf (loader) which loads another swf (video). The video clip needs to access the user id set in the main clip. Previously the video clip was embedded in a movie clip the main clip and I used this:
var xeniumImageLocation:URLRequest = new URLRequest("data/photos/"+ MovieClip(this.parent).uid +".jpg");
Which worked great. Unfortunately it no longer does after breaking the clips apart.
I have read through various articles and can't seem to find an easy way to target the main clip. I'm guessing there is a way that is as easy as AS2 but I don't know the proper syntax.

I can't seem to load a movie clip, and then pass some variables from that loaded movie clip back to through stage_mc it is loading into - to the SubClip.
The structure is as follows:
Main
>SubClip
>>Stage_mc
Where the new movie clip is loading into stage.
I need to pass two variables from the loaded clip into the SubClip. Simple vars to fill some dynamic text in SubClip.
I've done the whole _root.myvar thing, _parent, and _global.

Okay i have a problem where I am reading an ASP page into my flash. It works fine when I am reading into the dynamic text fields but when I want to use a variable for something in the actual flash nothing is working.I am reading a Database and everything is working just great, except that there are no more records to read! I have a variable named last which is displayed during the last record set so that i could use it to end the display of the records.I tried setting it up in an if statement...
if (last =="yes")
{
counter = 0;
}
my program pretty much just ignores this statement but when i read the variable last into a dynamic text field on the last record set it will display yes

When I open a text document containing 1 string of a Base64 Encoded Image, it works fine:
ActionScript Code:
import flash.display.Loader;
import flash.utils.ByteArray;
[code]...
The image displays and that's great, but I need to display multiple images; therefore, I used the standard format: var1=value1&var2=value2&... (In reality, the values are the huge base64 strings.) Then I just needed to add "my_loader.dataFormat = URLLoaderDataFormat.VARIABLES;" since the format of my source changed. The thing that bugs me is that I'm tracing the imgB64Str after I set it and it traces fine (just like the other version).
ActionScript Code:
import flash.display.Loader;
import flash.utils.ByteArray;
[code]...
It runs with no errors, but the image no longer displays.

I need to save and load data to and from variables. I know how to read from text-files, but not how to write to them. The text-files should work as a "database" for the high-score in a game, I cant use php cause the computer running the game wont be online all the time.

I am targeting a a movie clip. The problem is that all the syntax I have found for targetting clips looks like this: _root.sample_mc.sample2.mc. etc. The problem is, my target clip is in an swf that I've loaded into a container clip from my main timeline. So, essentially, I have a home.swf that loads menu.swf into a container called 'location'. In menu.swf, I have an MC called center, which contains the MC I am targetting called 'target'.

I've got a main timeline .swf file called "blank.swf" which contains nothing but two blank movie clips one called called "pproduct", the other called "ppalette". In the script frame of this main timeline I use the simple "Loader = new Loader();" method to load a URL of an .swf file into the "ppalette" movie clip. The "ppalette" movie clip contains several color chip buttons, each of which use the same Loader method above to load an external .swf into a clip. Here's what I want to do: let those color chip buttons, when the "blank.swf" file loads, be used to load an .swf movie into the "pproduct" clip on the main timeline. I'm wanting to be able to swap depths with various movie clips which will take out the movie which has the palette, but I want whatever that palette has loaded in the original "pproduct" clip to stay there.

var buttonFrame; in the first frame of the main timeline
then within my movieclip i have another movieclip which tells my main timeline to play the out fade and remember a variable:

I've got a problem using variables in my Flash project. I've got a variable called "count" decelerate in a layer of my main timeline.
Like this: _global.count=0;
In my movieclip I want to set that variable from 0 to 1.
For do that I wrote in a code layer of my mc: _global.count=1;
Now... When I perform a new action the variables count return to 0.
It's seem that Flash reset all variables.

Is there a way to access variables on the main timeline in Flash other than MovieClip(root).myVar ? The problem I am having is that I have a movie clip that uses several main timeline variables, but when I instantiate it, it throws a 1009 type error (cannot access property of null object reference). My understanding of whats going on (and please correct me if I am wrong) is that when instantiated it runs the code on the first frame of the movieclip. However, it is not added to display list yet, so it does not have a root. Thus, all the MovieClip(root).myVar lines do not have a root to look at. Does anyone know of a way around this?

I have movieclip that act as a container for a short animation. This animation has a script that repeat the movements until it's greater than a variable. But I wonder if it's possible to use this movieclip on several places on the timeline and have a several variables with different max number of movements that control the script inside the movieclip container? I have tested, but it seems like the value from the variable at the main timeline don't reach the script in the container!?

I have a MC with a class attached to it, and I have other MCs within that MC. I need those MCs to be able to access variables within the main MC class. Here is a quick'n'dirty:
Code:
class Foo extends MovieClip{private var h:Number;
private var subMC:MovieClip;function Foo(_h:Number){h = _h;}
subMC.onEnterFrame = function(){trace(h);}}
How can I access variables in the Foo class from another MCs scope? I have tried using static var but aren't they constant regardless of instance?

Let us say we have a movieclip "mc1" on the stage. We also have another movieclip "mc2" inside mc1. We have declared a variable, say, var number1:Number=5 on the first frame of the main timeline. Now we go inside mc1 and then inside mc2 and write some code on its first frame. Is there any way to use the variable number1 over here? Can properties of mc1 be altered using the code written here? In AS2, it could be done using the "_parent" command, but it doesn't seem to work in AS3. (when we use parent and try accessing a property, it says that it is possibly undefined)

I have some main time line variables I need to access and manipulate from inside a movieclip timeline. However, when I try to subtract from a global variable, one that's declared on the main timeline on frame 1 outside of a function/whatever, it says:Symbol 'lemon_cup', Layer 'actions', Frame 1, Line 54 1120: Access of undefined property lemons1.

I've build several movies which all work fine, but ultimately they need to run inside a Main movie which acts as a holder for the various child movies which load into it.Everything is working fine but not when they're loaded into the main movie. The main problems seems to be that the main movie has common component which relate to all the loaded child movies.Consequently the main movie has several instances - but how do I refer back to them in the child movieclips?I can't get the child movie clips to compile if I remove the references but ultimately the child movie clips need to speak to instances and functions in the main movie.Also, I've got a global function to hold the global variables but this method seems frowned on. But I need the global variables all the time and in all the movie clips.
