ActionScript 3.0 :: Acess MyLoader Located On A Timeline
Nov 23, 2008
I'm trying to acess myLoader located on a timeline above the navBar mc where my function is located and for some reason I am not able to acces the loader. The trace show that th button hears the addEventListener and the evt.target.name is working properly. I get the following compile error:1119: Access of possibly undefined property myLoader through a reference with static type flash.display:DisplayObjectContainer.
I need to determine when the first swf has finished to load the second and so goes on but I couldnt find a way to even trace de current frame in the timeline of my external swf.How can i determine the current frame in the timeline of a external swf?even with a enter frame event to check the current frame has not workedIve even build up a class to give the parameters to the main SWF but has not worked.I need to compare the current frame with the total frame and when got the last frame, and the end of the animation, unload this first movie and load the second.
I'm having problem with communication between an MC running on frame 1 and a dynamic textfield located on the main timeline on frame2. The MC running on frame1 is a user and password login. I want to grab the username (variable) from the inputfield within the MC for use on frame2 ( dynamic text ) on the main timeline.
i've been trying to make a presentation which is build out of several animations located on the main timeline.I wanted to use frame labels to navigate back and forth in the timeline, so I created back/next buttons and used switch/case code on them based on the frame labels.each animation has a label and a stop(); command at the end of it, right before the next animation.the code for the next button looks like this:
next_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, click_handler); function click_handler(event_object:MouseEvent) {
[code]....
problem is at some point it stops working. i've added the "default: play();" code to try and fix it but it only goes so far.
I'm using the preloader like the one rhamej posted here:[URL]The part of the code I need help with is as follows:
[AS] //fire the MovieClipLoader and attach the listener to it var container1:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader(); container1.addListener(mclListener);
[code]....
I realize the code is wrong. I wondered if it was possible after loading an external .swf ("1_movie.swf") within the container, if you could then press a button (enter_button) located within the external .swf ("1_movie.swf") , and use the preloader code to load another external .swf on release ("tree20.swf"). I'm having trouble because the preloader code is in the main timeline of my main flash file ("index.fla"), and I don't know how to make the preloader code recognize the button located within the external .swf, and use it to load another external .swf within the same movie clip.

Problem: cannot get the script to open an external swf into a MC (named "container") that is located on the main timeline Desc: MC "container" is located on main timeline... button is housed within MC "clipAbout" which is located on main timeline
Code: on (release) { if (_root.currMovie == undefined) { _root.currMovie = "pages/about"; _root.container.loadMovie("pages/about.swf");
I'm still struggling with going from a loaded swf to the next frame in my timeline, where a new swf file will be loaded.Ths is my current code which is trying to move onto the next frame in my timeline is located at the end Frame of a 10 second animation:
Loading a SWF of stars. I would like the stars SWF to alpha in as the sky darkens. I think I am close as the following has the stars alpha at 0, but the changeAlpha is not occurring.
While I'm not new to Flash builds I am certainly new to ActionScript 3.0. I'm currently trying to use a myLoader variable to load the different pages of my site(.swfs) but for some reason the swfs are just loading on top of the current swf. I've listed the code below.
var myLoader:Loader=new Loader (); ask_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, askcontent); function askcontent(myevent:MouseEvent):void { var myURL:URLRequest=new URLRequest("ask.swf"); myLoader.load(myURL); addChild(myLoader); [Code] .....
I am loading a swf file into a flash application. I want to access some movieclips in the externally loadd swf from my main aplication. How can I do this?
I am trying to make the life of the bars in my brick breaker game increase as i pass a level, and through that i'm using a variable that has their amount of hits that they can withstand from the ball. The variable is in my class. The thing is that when i put the variable in my main fla. (which is the only other option that i have) only 1 brick gets destryoed, the other ones are invincible. I don't get why this happens, but either way
I created a simple menu with subs using frame labels.The code on the main timeline of the loader page is:
var myLoader:Loader = new Loader(); myLoader.load(new URLRequest("main.swf")); addChild(myLoader);
The code on the menu navigation movie clip is:
stop(); function buttonClick(event:MouseEvent):void {[code]......
The buttons all have instance names but I keep getting the following errors
1119: Access of possibly undefined property myLoader through a reference with static type flash.display:DisplayObjectContainer. on the line - this.parent.myLoader.load(new URLRequest(event.target.name + ".swf"));
1120: Access of undefined property subclick. on the lines - ww_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, subclick);[code].....
I want to use Flash to build websites and am having difficulty with the navigation and loading external files.
hen in a project folder, all there is is an fla file, it still runs but with the actionscript files hidden somewhere. Where do I find them? If you don't know what i'm talking about here's an examplehttp:[url]....If you download the game file, it's just the fla, the as files must be hidden.
I want to check for the _x value of an MC, then move every MC that is to the right of that MC left by 60px (-60).
For example, let's say I have an MC called "Main".Within Main is a bunch of MCs, I'll call them "obj1", "obj2", "obj3", and "obj4". Let's assume they are positioned in that order from left to right.I want to be able to check for the _x value of obj2, and move all MC's to the right of it (in this case obj3 and obj4) to the left by 60px, and of course keep obj1 in its current position because it's to the left of obj2.
I have a problem with the security sandbox of the flash player. I need a data grid to get its data from a xml located in other domain. I have prepared a crossdomain.xml file with this structure: <?xml version="1.0"?><!DOCTYPE cross-domain-policy SYSTEM"http://www.adobe.com/xml/dtds/cross-domain-policy.dtd"><cross-domain-policy><site-control permitted-cross-domain-policies="all"/><allow-access-from domain="*" secure="false"/><allow-http-request-headers-from domain="*" headers="*" secure="false"/></cross-domain-policy> I have put this file in the public_html folder of my host, and also in the folder where the app is located but still not working...
I have written a Flex Library project - a .swc file - which is supposed to read default configuration from a XML file inside .swc. This .swc file would be used by other modules to perform some operation. I am unable to make the URLLoader to load the XML inside the .swc file.When i run this as a normal Flex project, things work fine without any issue. With swc, it looks bin-debug folder for the XML and not inside .swc. I want the URLLoader to look inside .swc for the config file. How do i achieve this?
myLoader.load(new URLRequest("config.xml")); For the above code i get the following error: Error #2044: Unhandled ioError:. text=Error #2032: Stream Error. URL:
I was just playing around with the script wondering how to modify where the thumbnails can be located and can you make them run vertically by adjusting the hit_left and hit_right? I have tried loading the swf into a window of my main swf (loadMovie("waters.swf", "window") and it throws off the location of the scroll.
I have a site that loads an external mp3 player. Now I want to pause the sound when the "video" button is pressed. In the mqin swf file, there is a movie clip called "MP3_Player", in that clip is the loaded mp3 player. I used this method to call the mp3 swf file.[code]Now what path/s do apply to the button in the main swf file to get the music to pause.
How to play a FLV file located in a second FMS not directly accessible by the flash client?
- I am publishing an audio stream from the flash client to a FMS;- This FMS then publishes the stream to a second FMS, which records the stream to a FLV;
How can I play in the client the FLV audio file that I recorded in the second FMS?
- The first FMS is accessible by the flash client, but the second FMS is only accessible by the first FMS.
I've a simple template I purchased with a flash header. There is a top navigation across the top of the header in previewing it. However, no matter how much I try to locate each of the text to change it per button, in the library, all of the buttons have the same name, in this particular, "main page", but NOT the rest of the menu from left to right in preview mode. I've went through every single library item to locate how to simply change the text, that's all for each of the menu items and cannot find the residual text for each button on the top of the preview navigation. In my library there is no navmenu or anything like that. [code]...
So, no where else in the library do I see, in this particular, the text of the residual navigation items which in this case is at the top of the header. This is nuts. I need to change the remaining items in the top navigation, to things like "main page" which already have, then "buying", "selling, "movng" and so forth, but cannot find how to change the current text. So simple, but I can't figure this out.
Im trying to write a function that used to work real wll in AS2
on(release){ loadMovie("name.swf", _root; )
This script would load a swf movie located in the same folder as "the calling swf) The calling movie "unloaded" and the loaded movie "name.swf" would load up by itself.
I have tried different functions in AS3 including
//Name of the button: back back.addEventListener(mouseEvent.CLICK,mouseClick); function mouseClick(event:MouseEvent):void {
I decided to rearange my flash site and now things don't work.I used to have an image collage where all the images were buttons and each image was located on the stage ( which made a stage with 10+ loose images)I made each image a button. Below is a code example for one of the images named "icysophistication_app_btn". The previously working code for it was:
icysophistication_app_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClick_IcySophisticationPopUp); function onClick_IcySophisticationPopUp(event:MouseEvent) :void {
I would like to know how to detect on which layer is an instance located. For example I put a circle named bob on the first layer and a square named test on the second layer. In actionscript, can I detect on which layer is test. I want to use this because in my game I will put all the non solid objects on the first layer and all the solid objects on the second layer and I want to detect in actionscript which instances are located in which layers.
