Here are my coding:
var contentLoader = new Loader();
contentLoader.load(new URLRequest("content.swf"));
content_mc.addChild(contentLoader);
[code]....

i am trying to access a variable from inside a function like this:
ActionScript Code:
var X:Number=1;
function hello(event:event){
trace(X)
}
or something like that... does anyone know why i don't get "1" in the output panel when i run the code?
In as2 it was possible to access variables created on the _root level from inside a movieclip. Like: _root.myVar =newVar.
How do I accomplish the same in as3.

I am currently working on an Adobe AIR application that shows the user some graphical data. As this data is more in height to fit the screen height, I've placed it inside a scroller.
Now I want to take a print of this visual data, mostly some charts and lists but I only see a single page containing only the part of the screen that is currently visible to the user. I want to have the entire content inside the scroller to appear on the page.

View 1 RepliesI am working with a scrollpane that loads dynamic content into holder mcs, I also have another mc that loads from library as a background for the scrollpane. It is not an image but a vector background generated entirely in Flash. I would like to have this background tile according to content length so that when you scroll you always see the image. I know this is a common task and normally I would solve it on my own but I'm not feeling very lucid today..
View 1 RepliesI have a flash mp3 player that I want to embed in a page and I need to insert the data of two external .xml files in an action inside the first frame (there are some server limitations that don't allow reading of external xml, txt and js files). The action I have now is:
Code:
if (!_root.playlisturl) {
_root.playlisturl = "playlist.xml";
}
if (!_root.infourl) {
_root.infourl = "info.xml";
}
so, what I want to do is paste the contents of those two .xml files inside my Flash movie somewhere so the above script accesses them directly and does not have to call outside files. Is there a tutorial somewhere that outlines this procedure? I know that this is the contrary from what .xml is used for but I can't do much now..
I am creating a website in Flash CS5 and Im having trouble with linking a button inside a movie clip inside another movie clip. In theory it should work as ive tried but doesn't. I have a movieclip called content for the main/top level pages but then i have sub pages which I have created another movie clip content2
This is code I have (an example):
about.onRelease = function(){
content.gotoAndStop("About");
}
This code works in the top level pages. My porblem is linking from here to a sub level page (movieclip in movieclip).
info.onRelease = function(){
content.content2.gotoAndStop("Info");
}
I've done exactly the same as i would have for top level pages. How can this be fixed? Can it be done in AS2 if not can it be done in AS3 and what is a SIMPLE method in AS3 to link pages etc. I want to keep the pages/frames organised using movie clips to layer them. I want a good structure.
I have a ActiveX control hosting a flash-player which is in turn running a flash file trying to access data from a web-address.
In an old Windows Application version of my application everything works fine and the flash file is able to access the web-content.
However, in a newer Console Appliction version of the application it can no longer access the web-content.
Is there some kind of difference between a Windows Application and a Console application in terms of security/permissions that might affect an ActiveX hosted flash-player?

I have a Card class. From this class, I have three possible children: Photo, Video and Info. In my main class, I want to create a few instances of these different classes without knowing what kind it is. But, no matter that, I want them all to listen to the mouse, so I may have something like this:
ActionScript Code:
var item:Card = new Photo();
item.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, mouseHandler);
The thing is: the Card class is kinda like a canvas... it has certain properties common to every type of item, but there's a space where it leaves it as a canvas... a Photo instance will load a photo there, a Video instance will load a video and a Info instance will load text to a TextField. The problem is that the event listener doesn't work the way I want it to... on an Info instance, the target of the click is the TextField; on a Photo instance is the picture... I want them all to be the class itself... in other words, I want to be able to parse the target as a child of the Card class. My code for the mouseHandler method is
ActionScript Code:
private function mouseHandler(e:MouseEvent):void
{
if(e.target is Photo)
[Code].....
That's the main idea... to be able to know what kind of object I'm clicking and access its properties... but on an Info instance, e.target is of type TextField... to be able to access the Info object, I have to do e.target.parent, and that is NOT the idea.
I got an issue and i can not figured out why this utton not working. So. Here is the code which i use to navigate between pages:

I'm writing a simple little test app consisting of 'main.as' and 'test.png', both within the same subdir on my harddrive. I'm compiling via command line with mxmlc, and testing via 'open with...' and Chrome. The code uses flash.display.Loader.load( "test.png" ) - but I can't access the loaded content (or even draw it to a bitmapdata!) due to security exceptions.
My goal is to get the image into something (preferably a bitmapdata!) I can draw to other bitmapdatas, as I understand this is fastest for gaming. I've tried all sorts of things, including creating a 'crossdomain.xml' that goes in the same dir as the above files (and doing the appropriate LoaderContext thing), tried various system.Security things and still no joy.
Is it possible to create a variable that references a loader content ? For instance, in the example below, is it possible of having something like:
var LoaderContent:SOMETYPE = new SOMETYPE();
LoaderContent = pictLdr.content;
And then using LoaderContent variable instead ? What type of variable should it be ?
var container:Sprite = new Sprite();
addChild(container);
var pictLdr:Loader = new Loader();[code]........
