Im trying to get 10 year old flash sites all linked togther and online after a long time out of the game for a job aplication deadline.
I just need my path sorting.All I need is the action scripting code to call an html document, that is in a folder within the root. I am calling from a swf embeded in html in the root. I can get a new widdow open but it doesnt find the html file.
Im using
on (release) {
getURL("/Memory/home.html", "_blank");
}
It works in html below,
<a href="Memory/home.html" target="_blank">
how do I write it in actionscript.
I'm trying to call a public function that is in the document class from a child of a child...
ActionScript Code:
private function handlerClick(event:Event):void {
var sendID:String = event.currentTarget._id;
var sendType:String = event.currentTarget._type;
var sendPath:String = event.currentTarget._path;
var sendIndex:String = event.currentTarget._index;
this.parent.parent.navClicked(sendType, sendID, sendPath, sendIndex);
}
When I do this I get an error "Call to a possibly undefined method ' navClicked' "
I was working around trying to create a custom event by using the click in the child and calling the 'do something' function from within the class.
How do you call a function within a child.swf from a parent.swf?There seems to be a load of advice for the revers

May i know how to call child function(layer 2) in parent(layer 1)?
Layer 1 (Parent)
function changeAction():void{
changeColor();
}
This method will give me the error -> Call to a possibly undefined method changeColor.
Layer 2 (Child)
function changeColor():void{
trace("success");
}
Everywhere I've looked has instructed me to download plugins and addons because they're "superior." I'm just looking for a simple fade in/fade out when a child is added/deleted (if fadein is all I can get, I'll take it.) Here is a function I'm calling...

I have container swf which includes navigation that loads child swfs. Each child swf is loaded then visibility is set to false. Once a child ( an image gallery actually) is loaded it is possible to jump from image to image. What Id would like to be able to do is call a "clean up" function that returns the child to its initial state when anothor nav link ( a different gallery) in the parent is clicked. But I do not know how the syntax is supposed to be written or if its even possible.
Ideally it would look something like this in the parent container swf:
ActionScript Code:
function swapSectionIdentity(e:MouseEvent):void {
setChildIndex(background_home, 0);
getChildByName("identity_mc").visible = true;
[Code]...
the behavior I am attempting to avoid is when a child swf is loaded ( an image gallery) and then the child is invoked to display a particular image in it, afterwhich a main navigation link is clicked the current gallery is set to visible = false and a new gallery is set to visible = true. But when you return to the previous gallery the last image viewed is still showing. I want to be able to reutrn to galleries inital state as it is hidden. make sense?
I have a DisplayObject, called myView nested in a DisplayObjectContainer called myContainer. myView is the only child of myContainer.I add a REMOVED_FROM_STAGE EventListener to myView, and call myContainer.removeChild(myView). The onRemovedFromStage Event fires for myView when it's removed from the stage, HOWEVER, myContainer still has a reference to it as a child on its display list! myContainer numChildren is still 1, and that child is still registered as myView!!! what circumstances this could be happening? I realize that there may be a reference to it somewhere causing this strangeness, but if the REMOVED_FROM_STAGE event has fired, shouldn't it follow that myView has been removed from myContainer?

I have setup a simple video interface. The video player lives in the parent swf. The video list chooser is loaded as a child swf. In this child swf, I have some video buttons nested within two movieclips in order to facilitate the scrolling feature. I am trying to get the movie buttons to load flvs into the component flv player in the parent swf. I have declared the functions in the parent and I am trying to call them in the child:Code in the Parent:
function vid1(event:MouseEvent): void{
pubPlayer.source = 'vid1.flv';

In my child constructor I use MovieClip(this.parent).blablabla() to retrieve info, yea I know I can pass it through the constructor, anyways I keep getting errors anytime I try to use MovieClip(this.parent) in the constructor, it gives a refrence error saying it's null.
Why doesn't that command work, is there a way around it (other than the constructor)? Is it because it's bad design? I'm calling a function that has alot of data, so I'm just passing this to the child and using the passed this data to call the parent atm, looking for a better MovieClip(this.parent) solution.
I have class A and a child instance of class B: B calls a function of parent class A, and if I try to simply trace B from here (from inside the function in A) I get a null!
If I pass B as a parameter to the function in A and trace it is correctly show the class type, but tracing the B instance directly gives me a null, how can this happen?
Code:
class A Main()
gameElements = new GameElements(this);
function whatever (ga: *){

I am adding a child .swf from the parent with a simple button. If this button is then clicked multiple times, the child is added multiple times. So I added the ".visible = false" to the button when clicked so the button cannot be clicked while the child is open.
Now, there is "Close" button on the child .swf that uses "this.parent.parent.removeChild(this.parent);" and would now need to set the parent button back to ".visible = true".
I have tried MovieClip.parent.parent.resetButton(); and parent as MovieClip.resetButton(); and many variations of the code. I get no errors but the code doesn't work either.
I am making a small program which shows pins on a map. The information about the pin comes from XML file including price. When a price button is clicked, lets say $900, only the pin with 900 needs to enlarge. All the pins are store inside a pinContainer_mc (blank container to put all the pins) Pin heretics pin class which has enlarge method.

I have uploaded a ZIP file that includes the following files:
- main.fla
- child.fla
You can download to review my code (very small 16kb): http:[url]...........This simple example has a main SWF file that loads a child SWF using the dynamic loader method. Below is the code in the main.fla file:
Code: Select all/*
MAIN SW

how do I get both parent and child SWFs to communicate with each other dynamically (to be able to call functions from each other, or pass variables)?
I'm switching from as2 to as3 and everything was going swimmingly with my new site until i tried to use a _root call to a function on the main timeline by a loaded movieClip that is loaded nested into 2 other movieclips. the movieClip needs to tell the _root when it's done playing so the root knows to load the next one in line through a php call. Everything works except for the _root call. In as3 there's no such thing as root anymore so I figured no big deal, i'll just find out what the new thing is and holy crap wtf! I can't figure this out!! I've read from doing stuff like custom eventLisnters (which i am trying now) and casting the root as a movieClip and then I read this whole crazy tutorial on building an event structure and the proper MVC way of coding and blah blah blah ALL I WANT TO DO is tell the _root that the loaded MC has reached the end of its timeline. Basically if it were as2 i could just go _root.loadNext(); and it would work.how to make a loaded MC talk to the _root timeline and call a funciton from there?
View 19 RepliesI am a Flash MX user, I have three files named PARENT.SWF, CHILD.SWF, and CHILD2.SWF. The PARENT.swf loads the CHILD.SWF, The CHILD.SWF loads, then the file CHILD.SWF loads another swf file: CHILD2.SWF
Now my question is: How can the file CHILD.SWF unloads itself to avoid overlapping with CHILD2.SWF on the screen. I try the command: removeChild(CHILD); from CHILD.SWF but it doesn't. work.
If I need to call a specific function in the parent application from a child in a flex project, what's the best practice for this? Would it be to dispatch a custom event from the child and have a listener call that function? Or to directly call the function with FlexGlobals.topLevelApplication?
View 1 RepliesI'm working on a Flash MX application which involves a Parent movie and a Child movie.
I've loaded the Child movie into the Parent movie using LoadMovie. The instance name of the Child movie is Child1.
In the Child movie I have a user-defined function called getChildXML (we don't need to get into more details about the function).
The point here is that I want to call the getChildXML function from the Parent movie. I've tried something like Child1.getChildXML(); but with no luck.
I have a picture on the stage that has multiple items that have hotspots/links over them that should open a child swf on top of the background and show details about the items. then have a button in the child swf itself that removes the child from over the background so the user can click on another item etc.I found this code in someone's post and I am trying to modify it so that works for multiple swf files...it currently works for a single swf.I wan to pass the name of the button in front of the .swf in the URLRequest to have the same name as the instance name of the referring button. But I can't figure it out. Here is the code I am using on the stage
