ActionScript 3.0 :: Calling A Function From A Child?
Feb 18, 2009I'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.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Calling Function In Child Swf From Parent
Jul 27, 2009I 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?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Calling A Parent Function When Child .swf Closes
Apr 14, 2010I 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.
ActionScript 3.0 :: Nested Child Calling Root Parent Function ?
Jul 18, 2010I'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?

ActionScript 3.0 :: After Calling RemoveChild(), Child Still In DiplayObjectContainer?
Dec 22, 2010I 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?

Jul 21, 2011In 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.
