ActionScript 3.0 :: Call A Method Which Is There Inside Flash Cs3?
Dec 21, 2009
I am using flash cs3, I am loading an external swf file into my application (the loaded file is in mx2004 format, in which I have a button). Now on clicking on that button i want to call a method which is there inside flash cs3.

[Code]...
and I would like to be able to call that method from within a movieClip, how do I point to the method?
I have to know if a public method has been called from outside the class or from inside. The reason is that depending on this, one of the actions to be executed in this method vary a bit.
I'm tryng to make a public static method call another method, but Flash throws error 1180, sayng that the method called by the static method is undefined.
I need to get a javascript var in my Flash application. I like to be able to just set a variable in the javascript (client constraints) rather than define a function.
Can this be done? I am trying to use the ExternalInterface.call()
I have a class. I can call the constructor (initialize the class), and the constructor can then call a function/method inside it's own class (so I know it works), but when I try to call the same function/method myself from the instance of the class I just initialized, I get an error.
I'm looking for a way to call a method for ALL children elements of a DataGroup from the DataGroup. The problem is that when using the creationComplete event to call a method of a child that method is only called once for every itemrenderer (child) object. after the item was drawn once. now i want the children component to call a function everytime the datagroup containing it changes its data. Using "updateComplete" or "dataChange" inside the children (itemrenderer) component would work, BUT "updateComplete" and "dataChange" is called everytime i change the view (e.g. scroll my list) - thats not what i want.
I have an issue with my eventListeners with the URLLoader, but this issue happens in IE, not in FF.
public function getUploadURL():void { var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest(); request.url = getPath();[code]....
The issue is that my getBaseURL gets executed automatically after I have executed the code at least once, but that is the case only in IE. What happens is I call my getUploadURL, I make sure the server sends an event that will result in an Event.COMPLETE, so the getBaseURL gets executed, and the listener is removed. If I call the getUploadURL method and put the wrong path, I do not get an Event.COMPLETE but some other event, and getBaseURL should not be executed.
That is the correct behavior in FireFox. In IE, it looks like the load() method does not actually call the server, it jumps directly to the getBaseURL() for the Event.COMPLETE. I checked the willTrigger() and hasEventListener() on _loader before assigning the new URLLoader, and it turns out the event has been well removed.
I simplified my code. To sum up quickly: in FireFox it works well, but in IE, the first call will work but the second call won't really call the .load() method; it seems it uses the previously stored result from the first call.
Okay, so i have a bunch of simple shapes in movie clips... THen, i have "levels" that are each in their own movie clip... Sometimes in the levels i have to instantiate these random movie clips on the fly and create multiple instances, so ill just do something like
[Code]...
This works great..but... in another movie clip now on my "level 2" movie clip I literally take the same exact code, that worked in level one...But now it will not work in this other movie clip.... I get this error whenever i try hexagonOne = new hexagonOne(); or ANY other shape movie clip i try to instantiate. Symbol 'lvl1-2', Layer 'Layer 2', Frame 1, Line 99 1180: Call to a possibly undefined method hexagonOne. I don't understand because it worked fine inside the other movie clip, which is just like this one...It makes no sense.
I don't get why it's not working, I also get: 1119: Access of possibly undefined property buttonMode through a reference with static type flash.display:SimpleButton.
When you call a method of a class inside a callback function, you can not use this object.To call the method, in javascript, I declare that variable, assign this to that, and use that inside the callback to call the method of this.In actionscript, do I have to do the same way as I do in javascript?The following code is the example to use that to call a method inside callback.Are there more simple way in actionscript?
getting error 1061: Call to a possibly undefined method stop through a reference with static type flash.events:TimerEvent.on my as3 class. I'm just starting to learn as3 and cant figure out whats causing the error.[code]
I see where i was going wrong however when i change the instance name like you said i 1120: Access of undefined property snakePart. all of this code btw is at document class level and the movieclips are in the library not on stage
Is it possible to call javascript functions inside flash (as3)? How about not in the same domain? Can you provide an example snippet for samedomain and not same domain?
i'm using captivate 5 to create an elearning project, due to captivates limited animation abilities i created a menu bar in flash and imported it into captivate as an swf. The menu bar has a glossary listing that whne clicked calls upon another swf which is a glossary.
The problem is that the glossary swf doesnt pop up when the glossary listing is clicked inside of captivate. The menu bar works perfectly outside of captivate. the glossary is already made in AS3. So my question is can you call a nested swf within captivate?
I'm trying to pass a variable through a function, but I'm getting it's value 0. Here's my code:
thumbLoader.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, goToCategory); function goToCategory(e:MouseEvent) { trace(c);[code]....
this trace gives me value of 0. Normally I would do goToCategory(c) and inside that category I would get it's value, but in this case I'm calling this function with an event, how can that be done?
var c is declared globally, so I'm using it above this code in different place... is there smth like global $c like in PHP.. or there's some other way to do it?!
I am trying to get simple example of it running. I can make it work if I publish in FlashPlayer10, but not FP 9
[Code]...
The reference material says Language Version : ActionScript 3.0Runtime Versions : AIR 1.0, Flash Player 9 Does this mean the AIR 1.0 and Flash Player 9 or what is the deal?the compile error is... 1061: Call to a possibly undefined method save through a reference with static type flash.net:FileReference.
