ActionScript 3.0 :: Calling File Names From An XML Document
Aug 12, 2009
I've calling file names from an XML document, for example: <file>thisGraphicab.swf</file> Then when I call the graphic, the graphic with the matching file name does not exist, but similar named files do exist. For example: thisGraphicab does not exist but thisGraphicbb does exist. Flash will load the thisGraphicbb.swf file in place of the file actually called.
Is there a way to remedy this? I want flash to fail when the file requested does not exist. When you type the name graphics/thisGraphicab.swf into the browser address bar, the file name is changed by the browser to be thisGraphicbb.swf, and it displays, but here again I need it to fail when something like this happens. I know this seems odd, but there's more to it in the end. Anyway, this is what I need to take care of now.

I have a variable, we'll call it helloNurse, defined in the document class, we'll call it Joy, as a public variable. Meanwhile, I have a movieclip within the FLA that uses that class as its document class that, simply put, needs to access that variable. I had read up that the following SHOULD work:

I am trying to rebuild an AS2 navigation in AS3. I built a button class (PortfolioNavItem.as) and a navigation bar class (PortfolioNav.as). This works if I use PortfolioNav as the Document class. However, I want to do things the proper way and call PortfolioNav from a Main document class (Main.as) but when I try it I keep getting that Error #1009.
Main.as
package com.tagehaun {
import flash.display.Sprite;
//import com.tagehaun.PortfolioNav;
public class Main extends Sprite {
//public var portfolioNavItem:Sprite = new Sprite();
public var portfolioNav:PortfolioNav = new PortfolioNav();

I was trying to load an external SWF (that contains the below code in its document class) with the Loader class but i keep on receiving Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. So i tried to use the event listener Event.ADDED in MyDocumentClass constructor of the external SWF to let the document class be part of the display list before i invoke createRandomGraph. But when i place createRandomGraph( ) inside onStageReady, The compilation process hangs. When i leave the createRandomGraph( ) inside the constructor, it works perfectly as stand alone but will produce Error 1009 if loaded within the loader SWF
public function MyDocumentClass( )
{
this.addEventListener(Event.ADDED, onStageReady);

loadMovieNum("icon1.swf", target1_mc);
I am trying to build a presentation by calling external .swfs inside the .fla document.
By clicking a button I want to load an .swf (800 x 600) from the desktop into a target_mc inside a new flash document.
The problem is that once I press the button to load the .swf, instead of loading it into the target_mc, Internet Explorer pos up with a statement saying " To help protect your security, Internet Explorer has restricted this file from showing active content that could access your computer. Click here for options..." Once I click the options link, a new link appears "Allow Blocked Content". once I press it the .swf file loads into the Internet Explorer window full screen.
I want the .swf to load into the mc I am specifying INSIDE the flash document, not on the browser.

I have a movie player that works fine when i hard-code the url value in the video function, but when i try to pass that url/file path from an external file, the video doesn't load. I suspect that there is something i'm doing wrong with the quotes. What am i doing wrong?

I keep getting an "undefined property" error when I try to call an external function from within the Doc class. I added the error message to the Doc Class below so you can see where it occurs.
If I take the code from the Tooltip.as below and place it on the FLA's main timeline I can get things working fine, but I would like to move all script to classes. The document class structure looks like this:
Drag_and_Drop.as
Code:
package {
import Tooltip;// Import custom class
public class Drag_and_Drop extends MovieClip {
[Code]....
I realize that I could just combine all the code in the Doc class to get it working, but it would be nice to separate out this particular code which has only one use.

I have a rather silly question but as3's document class always gets me confused.I have a public method on my document class. I want to call this method from another class that is instantiated from within an object in the library of the flash file (the same one on whose document class I want to call a method).

I'm trying to have a class reference a variable within the document class and have scoured the web but can't seem to find a solution. It seems relatively simple, but is a major stumbling block for me.
I want the variable in the doc class to increment each time a draggable object is within bounds and snapped to a box in the subclass. By tracking successful snaps, the objects will be placed one under the other each time.

I'm trying to get a boolean variable from my document class to be recognized in one of my other movieClip .as files, but i'm not sure how.
If I could pass a number or string variable from my doc class to my movieClip class that would also work just fine.

I get the error "Access of undefined property menu_bar" when menu_bar is an instance name directly on the main timeline. I'm not sure how I would call it in the other class. It also isn't exported for actionscript is that the problem?
I have it imported to my document class as:
var mouseClicks:MouseClicks = new MouseClicks();
addChild(mouseClicks);
Then the class looks like this:
Code:
package{
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.events.*;

If it's possible for Flash to read an XML file and look for element names rather than using myXML.firstChild.firstChild.firstChild; etc? So say I have the following:
Code:
<music><song>Song 1</song>
</music><food>
<curry>Tikka</curry>
</food>
Rather than using "firstChild.nextSibling" etc to navigate itself to the Food element, is there a way to just have something like "find the food element in the XML and return its childNodes"? It makes more sense to me this way because then it doesn't matter how you structure your XML file. And if you change the XML structure later on.. you don't then have to update the Flash as well. My reason for this is i'm using Expression Engine CMS and want to pull the data from that into Flash.

I'm trying to do some restructing of a flash codebase, and I was wondering if anyone could clarify something for me as I'm unsure whether what I'm trying to do goes against a fundamental priciple of flash development or I'm being confused by the Flash CS4 user interface(I've got a java development background, so some of the interaction between fla files and the like is somewhat difficult at times to get my head around). I've done several searches but can't seem to find any similar problems, apologies if any exist.
Basically, I want to restructure my codebase and move my fla files around by putting them at a different location in the directory structure.
Existing structure:
basecompany namecomponent name
where fla files are stored in base, and code is stored in company namecomponent name, and code in said location is in the company name.component name package.
What I want to do is move my fla files from base to component name for each individual project. The actual location of the code is unchanged, but the fla files no longer compile, giving me a 5001 error - package name does not reflect location. I'm assuming that this is because the relative location is different - as far as the fla file is concerned, the code it is referencing is located at component name, not company namecomponent name. Is it possible to make the CS4 publisher understand that the fla file is not at the root of the package structure, and if so how?

We've got an Illustrator file with something over 1,000 layers. We're trying to import this into Flash and keep the layer names intact, such that they become the names of the movie clips that are imported for each layer and can be used programmatically. (It is a diagram and arrows, boxes, etc all have callout names that will eventually allow them to link to a database.)As near as I can tell, the Import dialog will NOT pass this info across between the two parts of the dialog.

I created an input text box, and depending on what the user enters, it will create a file with that same name. However, for some reason, it's deleting the last character of the filename when it creates the file. For example, if you type "House" in the input text box, then the file that it will create will say "Hous.txt"What is causing this and how can it be fixed?
