I have the following classes:Parent (Document class for parent.swf)Child (Document class for child.swf)Parent successfully loads child.swf as a MovieClip.I am unable to communicate with the child from the parent. I want to send variables to the child.
View 4 Repliesi am trying to load the variables from parent(flash) to child(flash).Its working fine,.
parent swf:(flash)
var parentMessage:String = "Hello";
var swf:MovieClip;
var l:Loader = new Loader();
[Code].....
i'd like to send a dispatchEvent to a loaded swf, put into a movieclip. I found a good topic about it : as3 - dispatchEvent from a parent swf to a child swfi have a main.as
another class : submenu.as, that i import in main.aswhen i click on the "main" menu in "main.as", i would like to send a dispatchEvent to submenu.as (because i'd like the submenu to change one of its item, when i click on the "main menu" in "main.as", so i need to send a dispatchEvent to submenu.as) so i put a dispatchEvent in the method "clickButton" in my main.as : "Event.CHANGE"and in the submenu.as, i'd like to listen to this event.CHANGE, and that's what i wrote below ;-)

Is it possible to send a custom event to a child?
[Code].....
when I click the parent, it gets click event. in the click event handler, the parent dispatches a custom event of type E. and the child is listening for E. obj.dispatchEvent() by default targets for obj it is called from. So, the event being dispatched won't reach the child if obj had one. Is there a way to send an event from parent to child? Better yet, is it possible to send an event to an object not in the DisplayList nor is a DisplayObject (the object is instanciated, but it doesn't have graphical role in the program)?

I'm trying to build a class for objects in my prog that can by manipulated in various ways.. I want right clicking them to send them to back, and left clicking, bring them to the front.
ActionScript Code:
package {
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
[code]....
When I run it, however, I get ArgumentError: Error #2025: The supplied DisplayObject must be a child of the caller.So something's not lining up, but I'm not sure how to write it so it'll work.
I brought a pre-built shopping cart and I'm trying to put some buttons in another MC but when I click them the cart don't update.
The original setup of the cart was:
The 'Add to cart' buttons are on the root and the cart was inside an MC also on the root.
Now I understand that it's not not working due to me moving the buttons into a MC.[code]...
I've got a flash course that needs to pass the current screen number from the course to the mySQL database. The person who built the back-end built a php page that I can pass the number to and it will get written to the db but I'm not sure how to "send" that in the background.He told me that I just need to call the index.php page like: [URL]So, would I use URLRequest for something like that?
Code:
var vars:URLVariables = new URLVariables();
vars.theData = data;
var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest("www.url.com/index.php/user/bookmark/"+slideNum);

I'd like to be able to generate certain data XML file through PHP based on variable that embedded in html page swf sends or request. I heard that it can be achieved by assigning FlashVars. I created a flash gallery which loads all content based on data from XML. However, I need to load a different content using the same flash gallery based in which html page the swf(gallery) is embedded. I can generate new XML through PHP if swf will send a variable to PHP which can be read as unique. I need to create a mechanism where the embedded swf send this unique variable.

Basically I am trying to send a variable from flash to php, I was trying to do it through the sendToURL function, because this seemed to be the most appropriate way to do this, although I may be wrong. Below is the AS.
var quizVariables:URLVariables = new URLVariables();
quizVariables.party = "labour";
var myURLRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest(".../partyhandler.php");
myURLRequest.data = quizVariables;
sendToURL(myURLRequest);
Once this is done it should cause the following PHP to run (which works fine if I manually type in the address eg .../partyhandler.php?party=labour)
$party = $_GET['party'];
mysql_query("UPDATE party SET $party = $party+1 WHERE id=1");echo $party;
however something seems to not be working with the flash element of the code.
i want to make a swf ecard. the swf will include an input text for a message + input text for sender email adress + recipient email adress.the swf will send variable to php with random name + email to recipience with message that inform bout an ecard sent to them + specific url.
View 2 RepliesI have a html form and when submit is clicked, my php processes the data. At the moment its simple, just one field displayed to the screen <?php echo htmlspecialchars($_POST['name']); ?>.Instead of doing this, I want to send the variable name to a swf file, and load the swf file with the name. I will use flashvars to do this. I have seen examples, and I think this one is used to display the swf onto the webpage, and pass the data to the swf.
<object width="540" height="240" title="sample">
<param name="movie" value="card.swf" />
<param name="flashvars" value="var1=here&var2=are&var3=my&var4=flashvars" />
<embed src="card.swf" flashvars="var1=here&var2=are&var3=my&var4=flashvars" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="540" height="240" ></embed>
I am not sure what it is really doing, and what I should change the value to in order for my name variable to be passed.

I've been trying to communicate flash and javascript some time now, but I can't get Javascript to send variables to flash, just the other way around. When the .swf is done loading, it succesfully triggers the "isReady" function in Javascript, but when i try to trigger the "sendToFlash" function in Flash(via javascript), nothing happens.
"thisMovie("myID").sendToFlash(toFlash);" this is the code I can't get to work, as you see I tried these to as well;
document.getElementById("myID").sendToFlash(toFlas h);
document["myID"].sendToFlash(toFlash);
nothing triggers the code.

<script type="text/javascript" src="swfobject.js"></script>
