I'm trying to construct a "getter" function in which a movieclip obtains it's childs current frame label, but for some reason I cannot get it to work.
Part of Block.as :
ActionScript Code:
public function getStatus(acs:String):String {
return (MovieClip(this.getChildByName(acs)).currentFrameLabel);[code]........
I need to get the value inside a handler..
ActionScript Code:
public function verifyUser(p:String):String{
var verify:String
var variables:URLVariables = new URLVariables();
var varSend:URLRequest = new URLRequest("verify.php");
varSend.method = URLRequestMethod.POST;
varSend.data = variables;
[Code] .....
It's always returning 'null'. because its not waiting for the completehandler to be completed and just passes the null value of verify..
i have a parent movieclip mcA and i want to add another movieclip mcB (child movieclip) inside mcA such that the extra part of mcB is hidden. The size of movieclip remains same as of mcA
For ex:-
mcA = 300x300
mcB = 400x400
then only 300x300 of mcB movieclip is visible and rest of the part is hidden.
in AS3 I'm trying to load a URL (a Yahoo address) into the application so I can process the source code and pull things out of it.However, when I load it, or any other page, I get 0 bytes back.Here's my current code.

I've been trying to figure out what I'm doing wrong here. I the below code works, but I want another function to be able to use the data stored in the 'sectionPathes' array.
How can I 'return' this data, so that other functions/etc can use it.
[Code]...
I have a problem with connecting as3 with php. I get the data return from php is wrong.
This is my code
AS3:
var file:String="test.php";
// Define global variable
function GetXMLfile(){
var loaderphp:URLLoader=new URLLoader();
var urlRequest1:URLRequest = new URLRequest(file);
loaderphp.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, GetCharInfo);

I'm currently working as part of team of developers and we've run into an issue with our FMS project.In our site the user is able to record video of themselves which is turned into flvs and stored by the FMS. These videos are played back at a later time. The site works fine but intermittently stops recording new videos or streaming previously recorded videos.The only solution at this point is to restart the server. The server logs show that the onDisconnect event handler is running when users terminate their sessions and we can see that the number of active connections does not appear to be exceeding the limit on the server. There are no runtime errors to indicate that anything has gone wrong.From looking at output from the app it just seems like the publish and unpublish event handlers stop running but nothing actually breaks.The user doesn't realize anything is wrong until they try to watch their videos only to get a blank screen.
We're wondering if perhaps it is a garbage collection issue? Either the garbage collector in the FMS is running and taking a really long time to reload the app or perhaps it isn't running at all and somewhere some memory is overloading.
I have created a class which loads the data from an xml file.
[Code]...
There are 12 color variables, and each answer adds a number to each variable.At the end of the quiz, all the variables are put into an array, and sorted. Then the 3 highest variables are displayed. I have gotten this far. My problem is that I need to link the variable name (color) with the number it returns.[code]

View 3 RepliesI am trying to return a movieClip to a project variable, so it can be retrieved outside of a function. However it fails.
I tried to simply set up a variable so when the function returns, it has a storage variable.
Then i tried for a function to retrieve the variable content
However when i call the trace(mc) it fails as undefined [code]...
Is there a way that I can obtain the name of a clip's children just like I can obtain the name of it's parent by using _parent?
Basically, I have a whole bunch of MovieClips that I have created through a function that parses an XML file. Basically, it's a custom-made Tree.
I have them all set up in their proper horizontal and vertical positions, but the one thing I'm having trouble doing is closing a branch on it. I've tried storing values in arrays to help me sort all the MovieClips on the Stage, but I must confess that I'm not good with arrays at all, so is there some sort of obscure function somewhere that can return the child clips, so I can do something like:
Code:
myMC.onRelease = function():Void {
if (myMC.hasChildMovies() == true)
for (var i:Number = 0; i < myMC.childMoviesArray.length; i++){

Ive embeded my game.as file as a movie clip into a new .fla which has 1 frame for the game, 1 frame for the win screen, 1 frame for the loose screen and 1 frame for the intro screen.
So at the end of the game I do MovieClip(root).gotoAndStop(myFrame);
where my frame is either the win screen or the loose screen frame.both screens have a playagain button that returns me to the game frame.Sometimes I get the error after the first win/loss sometimes I get it after I do play again and then when I win/loose.
the error is at:MovieClip(root).gotoAndStop(myFrame);
Im not exactly sure why or how to fix it though any tips?

View 2 RepliesI'm trying to access a parent movieClip from the child movieClip
Here's what I want to do,
I've got a movieClip named wrong_mc, which plays for a couple of frames and on the last frame, its got a close button "close_btn" inside of it, now I wanna write the code such that when close_btn is played the movieClip "wrong_mc" should go and stop at frame1, I'm just not able to access this movieClip from the button.
I've got a dozen movie clips on stage, each with 3 children, and each of those have 8 children, as example named u01-u08.
Is it possible to access u01 directly without the parent names? like a wildcard? like the xml way of getting to nodes with a .. ?
sort of like: stage..u01.alpha = .5;
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.
View 2 RepliesI have a picture on the stage that has multiple items that have hotspots/links over them that should open a child swf on top of the background and show details about the items. then have a button in the child swf itself that removes the child from over the background so the user can click on another item etc.I found this code in someone's post and I am trying to modify it so that works for multiple swf files...it currently works for a single swf.I wan to pass the name of the button in front of the .swf in the URLRequest to have the same name as the instance name of the referring button. But I can't figure it out. Here is the code I am using on the stage

I have a child swf loaded that needs to receive an array that the parent creates in a function. The child swf must be the one to call that function.
View 3 RepliesI have the following XML structure:
[Code]...
This will parse child elements of the <text-block> but will not work with <ul> as it has its own child elements <li>. I guess this could be accomplished with yet another loop but I wanted to check to see if there was another simpler way.
The issue I am having is that I have no idea how to access the Children of another MovieClip. I have 2 MovieClip's, storeFront, at frame 25, and reviewPage, at frame 60. storeFront contains a vector, cart, and I need to access it from reviewPage.
I have tried...
var appRoot:MovieClip = parent as MovieClip;
buff = appRoot.getChildAt(30);
review = buff.cart;

I am trying to add a child in a movie clip and perform basic operations on the child but I cannot get access to the child.
It loads the child to the movieclip "FLine1MC" but it says FLine1MC.ClipArt1 does not exist when I try to change the x location.
function AddArt1(evt:MouseEvent): void {
var ClipArt1Request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("images/mypic.gif");
var ClipArt1:Loader = new Loader();
ClipArt1.load(ClipArt1Request);
FLine1MC.addChild(ClipArt1);
FLine1MC.ClipArt1.x = 550;
}
Anybody know what's my error?
By that token, is there a way we can check the exact path of an object?
I have a movieclip that will load an external picture from a given path, it works fine if I hardcode the picture path. In the scene I added this moveclip at runtime, but now I have problem to pass in the a string path value to the movieclip so that in can load a correct picture.
