ActionScript 2.0 :: Access A Function Of The Parent Of An MC?
Oct 5, 2005Well- actually, my problem is a bit more abstract than this thread's title suggests..ere's the setup:I have a parent function (called "Game") with a couple of subfunctions.There is one subfunction ("Game.prototype.spawnBonus") that, as the name suggests, spawns a Bonus Item by duplicating a movieclip.The duplicate movieclip is created on "_root"-level and has an onEnterFrame attached to it that checks whether a certain stage is met (all this works).Now the problem is, when the case is met, I need to access a subfunction of "Game" and pass it the MC's ID to fade out the Bonus Item. Like so:[AS]Game.prototype.fadeBonus =
function(number) {
// just some stuff to fade out the MC with the number
// passed through the value "number". This works well,

ActionScript 3.0 :: Access Child.swf Function From Parent.swf?
Dec 22, 2008I have to access a function in child swf from parent swf. This child swf gets loaded into a canvas object in parent.swf. Everything works fine but I'm unable to call any function that was in child.swf. My code is
Code:
var swf1:SWFLoader = new SWFLoader();
swf1.source = "CHILD.swf";
can.addchild(swf1);
I read on google and then I tried this in parent.swf's code
Code:
var myrequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("CHILD.swf");
var myloader:Loader = new Loader();
myloader.load(myrequest);
canvas.addchild(myloader);
Now this one throws up a runtime error TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert flash.display::Loader@5934b01 to mx.core.IUIComponent.
I also tried this
Code:
var myrequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("CHILD.swf");
var myloader:Loader = new Loader();
myloader.load(myrequest);
[Code]....
But in this case my swf does not show up at all and there are no runtime errors too!
How do I resolve this error and how do I then access the function in child.swf?

View 2 RepliesActionScript 3.0 :: How To Call Function Of Parent Object From Loaded SWF
Nov 10, 2009I have a swf that should be able to load another swf in runtime. Then I would like the loaded swf to call a method of the parent, loader swf, like this:
Code:
parent.closeForm;
But when I compile it, it throws this error:
1119: Access of possibly undefined property closeForm through a reference with static type flash.displayisplayObjectContainer.
I've tried:
Code:
if (parent != stage){
parent.closeForm;
}
So flash won't run this code at compile time, but it always throws that error. Here is the code of the LOADER swf:
Code:
private function loadForm():void {
var loader:Loader = new Loader()
var mRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest(formPath);
loader.load(mRequest);
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onFormCompleteHandler);
[Code] .....
How could I write an expression that should call a function of the LOADER swf without having this compile-time error?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Access Function In External Swf Now Being Loaded By Preloader Swf?
Jul 1, 2010I have followed the tutorial on gotoandlearn that builds a preloader swf to load an external swf. The problem I am having on the main timeline is that I now cannot access a function in the final external loaded swf. This worked fine when I just loaded the external swf into the main timeline but with the preloader I think I have my loader instances confused and I don't know how to fix it.
[Code]...
Like I said this worked perfectly before I tried cleaning things up with intermediate preloader swf and now its all gone pete tong (again!!) When testing this by reviewing the main timeline it cannot recognise the function killStream
Flash :: Access Top Level Function When Class Has A Function Of The Same Name
Dec 16, 2011I have a class Debug with a function called trace inside it which puts a TextField on the stage and outputs the text. Now I am trying to get the Debug.trace() function to do a "normal" debug trace as well from within side itself. of course this causes a recursive loop. I am trying to figure out how I can access the top level separately. I tried using namespaces such as AS3::trace but to no luck.
I know a solution is to rename my function to stop the conflict, but I would like that to be a last resort. It is being used in quite alot of places throughout my entire code so replacing it everywhere is going to be a ballache.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Thumbnail's "onRelease" Function To Cancel The Parent "make Thumbnails" Function
Jan 20, 2005The easiest thing is if you look at my swf: [URL] Ive built a dynamic photo gallery which works from an XML database. The database contains the various gallery titles, the photo image paths and their captions.
The first page of the gallery is a thumbnail index page (lots of small preview images of the photos). The thumbnails load up one by one, they are only 1kb each but there are hundreds so takes some time. If a user clicks on one, the thumbnail movieclip is hidden with (._visible) and the photo page is shown, also with (._visible).
The problem is, the thumbnails are still being loaded in the background, so the chosen photo is not downloaded+shown until all the thumbnails have loaded. What kind of code do I need to place on the thumbnail's "onRelease" function to cancel the parent "make thumbnails" function ive made?

I tried sth like my_uiloader.content.parent = null, but obviously it doesn't work as the parent property is read-only.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Calling A Function On Parent Swf
May 11, 2009new to actionScript and trying to finish my final project, and i'm banging my head on a brick wall now, my question may be easy for some pros, basically i've loaded an external swf from a button at main.swf
[Code]...
this works fine. then i'm trying to disable the button function while the swf is loaded. I add another eventListener to the same button. function disableMenu( e:MouseEvent ):void { button1.mouseEnabled = false;}
that works too. ok now comes the problem. I have a close button on my child swf("content1.swf) to close itself and returen to main swf. but I want the button on main.swf to work again. so at the close button I add another eventListener hope to enable the menu. (note this is on the child swf!)
