Have any of you guys attempted to embed a library SWF and access the classes as it was an externally loaded SWF? If so, how is it done? In an effort to make my game into a single SWF, I have no other option than to embed my external library SWF's, the simplest of which is just an SWF full of images in the library. My normal method is this
[Code]...
I'd like to gain read only access to the following parameters of embedded Flash videos located on sites that I do not own through my own custom browser extension/add-on:
Time location of playback head (so I can display the current time in the browser extension via HTML5/JavaScript) Frames (so I can make capture them to an image file, save it and display image in browser extension) Original Dimensions in pixels (so I can display the original video dimensions via JS/HTML5 in browser extension)
Is this possible by using Javascript and HTML5 from a browser extension?
Would I have to use something like the SWFObject Javascript API [URL]
I have an SWC of all my graphical assets. I'm using FlashDevelop as my IDE, and I have set the SWC as a path.I can import classes in the SWC just fine and the the intellisense works. But when I try to create a new instance of one of the assets, it seems to work, I can trace out the variable I assign it to, but when I try to add the actor to the stage it doesnt show up.
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to load a local SWF file and use the classes in that SWF (its a code only SWF, nothing in library).
Here's the code that loads the library:
Code:
var AD:ApplicationDomain = ApplicationDomain.currentDomain;
var context:LoaderContext = new LoaderContext(false, AD);
SA_gamecore_loader = new Loader();
[Code]....
ReferenceError: Error #1065: Variable MenuArt is not defined.
The GameCore.swf is in the same location as the parent swf.
I'm using SWFKit to create a native windows app from flash project. I want to embed video in project via SWFKit and then use it in flash.
Looks like I've found a way to embed external file but I can't find manual about how to access this embedded file via ActionScript in flash movie.
So the question is how can I access file "bridge.flv" in compiled project using ActionScript?
I am trying to get an instance of a specific class from an embedded swf, it so happens the class I need is also the Default Application extending Sprite for the swf. I am able to do this successfully if I load the swf however I want to embed it instead.The class I want to load is also extending a custom interface. Here is what I have tried but is not working:
[Embed(source="resources/MySwf.swf")]
private var MySwf:Class;
private function someFunction() : void

View 9 RepliesI'm trying to embed an SWF in my ActionScript project (Flash Builder 4.5). I need to have access to variables inside that SWF, but for some reason, embedding it strips it from all scripts.The solution I found on the web was to embed it like this:

[Embed(source="sprites.swf", mimeType="application/octet-stream")]
private var Sprites:Class;

We're planning on allowing others to embed our custom player swf (which play the projects we produce) on their site/blog/etc with embed code, but want to maintain enough control to blacklist certain sites that use our projects unfairly or in violation of our terms.What's the best way to block certain sites from embedding our swf? We had an idea of attaching a unique ID with each embed code and then having the player make a call to our site to check a list to see if that ID is blocked or not....but that's easy to bypass, and wouldn't it be easier to just dump the blocked sites into an .htaccess of httpd.conf file with some mod_rewrite trickery?

View 2 RepliesWhat I am trying to do is pull data from an XML file so that I can store paramaters for my FLV player (i.e. flv link, dimensions, video name, etc) I can get the data from the XML file and story it in a dictionary but I am unable to access the data from my main class. I know it has to be something pretty simple but I think i have been looking at it to long to see it.
// Main.as
package includes.action{ import fl.video.FLVPlayback; import flash.display.*; import flash.events.*; import flash.net.URLLoader; import flash.utils.Dictionary; import includes.action.XMLData; public class Main extends Sprite[code]..........
basically with all my traces this is what I get back...
// Trace dataVIDOEXML COUNT: undefinedELEMENTS: nullMAIN:LINK: nullWe are in LoadXMLname - no get: mortgagename - get: mortgage
The trace for Elements and Main:Link should give me back the name of the video but as of yet its either returning NULL or undefined.
I'm making a little application in Actionscript 3. In my initApp.as I have created another class which needs to edit the currentState, which is only accessible from the main .as (initApp.as). I found a solution such that I can reach the currentState property from my other class: Application.application.currentState.This is however not a good solution as it couples the classes too much.. is there a better way of editing the currentState from other classes?

I'm working on a game. Yep. I have the main class where I control all the stuff that's packed in external classes. My current issue is that I listen for a mouse event to happen, and when the left button is pressed, I add a child to the stage.[code]...
However, I want to set all the stats of the bullet in an external class called "Rock". In the main class I just attach a movieclip to the stage, and the behavior of this MC is supposed to be controlled by the Rock class. The problem is I dont know how to access the bullet variable from the Rock class.
I'm new to AS3 and am starting to use OOP in flash. However I run into some problems with accessing movieclips from other classes. I am creating a DocumentClass (like Lee Brimelow showed in one of his tuts) and from that class I want to completely generate the movie using other classes and such. However I run into a problem when I need to access movieclip properties from other classes. Here's an example of what I have:
Code:
Select allpackage{
import flash.display.DisplayObject;
import flash.display.Stage;
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import com.dreamline._root.*;
public class DocumentClass extends MovieClip
[Code] .....
How to add clips from my DocumentClass and access them in the flHandler class without having to forward this.dpStage as a parameter.
Im trying to get used to packages and classes in AS3. Im used to put all code on the first frame of the timeline, but now i have 442 lines of code on the first frame. Yeah 442. And this is for a game engine so i thought i should put it inside some classes to make it easier to read an reusable. But i have noticed that if i create a class called Code and make a instance of that class like this:[AS]var codeObject:Code = new Code();[/AS]i get a bunch of errors because the class cant Acess the stage and the display list.i found a workaround by linking the class to a movieClip and and do this:[AS]MovieClip(parent);[/AS?

View 1 RepliesFor the example, there's a single FLA with a document class "main.as." In the public class main.as package, there is a public variable: "var example:String='example';." Inside of the FLA, there is one movie clip in the library and it is assigned a custom base class "sub.as." The movie clip is then placed on the first frame of the stage so its constructor is run at runtime and reads the value of example.
What is the proper way to get the value of "example" in the root document class? Using "root.example" in the sub.as class to target the document class returns an error and when I trace "root", I get "null." Main.example naturally throws an error because that's looking at the actual class and not the movie / stage its attached to.The round-about way I've done it before is to dynamically add the object in the library and pass in the root path when I create a new instance of it (example: submc:sub = new sub(this); ).Is there anyway to get back to the document class with a built-in method like root, etc?
I have a menu movieclip that has several buttons, each with listeners writtin in the movieclip's actions layer in Frame1. The script goes something like this:

I have this function in the parent class:
ActionScript Code:
private m_colors:Array;
protected function set colors(clrs:Array):void {
m_colors = clrs;
}
Then, in my child class I want to call this as:
super.colors = [15, 255];
But it throws an error, it says:
Ambiguous reference to colors. If I do the same with a common function, not a setter one, then just calling it with its name in my child class works fine.
[code]Also pass the Stage reference still it not showing any error and text box is also blank,text is embed ed and the code is.[code]If I put import flash. display. List; it shows an error 1172: Definition flash.display:List could not be found.
View 5 RepliesIm building a project using an MVC pattern. I have (pseudo) abstract classes Model and View, each extended with particular models and views. But I cannot access properties on the extended classes of Model...Model simply distributes XML data, heres its constructor:
Code:
public function Model(data:XML)
{
_data = data; /*_data is a protected var of type XML in Model*/
}
MainModel extends Model, and has a property called _background of type Background which also extends Model:
Code:
private var _background:Background = new Background(some XML source);
public function MainModel(data:XML)
{
[code]....
The problem arises when I try to pass MainModel's background property as a parameter of _bgView (highlighted in red above). The compiler says there is no background property on Model, which is true, but I need it to look at its extended class MainModel, not Model. I've typed MainView's constructor parameter with MainModel, but it is still seeing it as Model.
