ActionScript 3.0 :: Calling Parent Functions From A Loaded Swf File?
May 29, 2009
I have a main Flash file that loads up other SWF files using Loader objects. I want to be able to call methods of this main object from within the loaded SWF files. For instance, I want the loaded file to be able to add an event listener to the stage of the main file. I've found this example:
[URL]
Which appears to do what I want, but I can't figure out how to implement it in my setup.
My 'main file' that loads up other SWF's is called 'main.swf' and has a document class Main.
My loaded file is called start.swf, and has a document class "Start".
[Code]....
How can I reach the stage from a loaded SWF? Or at least, how can I call a function in my Main Class from the loaded start.swf file so I can move the functionality I need to the main.swf file?

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
*/
import flash.net.URLRequest;[code]........
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 loading a flash file using the built in Loader class. How can I call one of the original swf's functions from the loaded swf?I know about LocalConnection and using that with other SWFs on the same webpage, but is there a better way of doing it if you're loading an swf within another? The reason is that I need to get a return value from the function, and local connection's send() only provides a true/false.

I am having problems calling functions in a SWF (B.swf) which I load into my first SWF (A.swf).
Nothing seem to happen when I call the functions, values that are supposed to be returned from the function call are undefined.

basically, each time i hit a letter key on my keyboard, i want a new .swf to load. All of the external .swfs are looped, which is working fine, but for me to get this one to do what it should, i need to press another key to get it to advance to the next frame and play. Since i'm operating it from a loader, i can't get the function to call.
so here's my loader function:
Code:
on (keyPress "e") {
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("container", 1);
// Container's positions on stage

i've got this movie clip. I've loaded a swf called "page1.swf" into a holder called "page1MC". This child movie DID have a button in it called "page1_buttonA" in it when I made it, but I can't get it to do anything once I've loaded it. I recently discovered you can trace movie clips, and the trace below is coming up undefined, which might explain why it's not working. Now, can anyone explain WHY it's coming up undefined?
The code for the entirety of this debacle is as follows:
stop();
//Create empty movie clip holder:
this.createEmptyMovieClip("page1MC",1);
page1MC._x =0;

I am trying to call multiple functions at different times from the same .as file. I asked this question in another forum but the reply did not work. I have 2 as3 books but they both only talk about calling a single function from the external file. Can someone detail the structure in the .as file as well as how to call it from the .fla? I am missing something and I can not figure out what it is

I have a swf file sample.swf which has its actionscript class in Main.as. This Main.as has various objects declared as public in it. For instance lets consider an object myData of class MyData (in MyData.as).
I am loading this swf file in my AIR app using swfLoader. I want to know how do I access myData.func() using swfLoader.loaderInfo.content.

If I have a function and I want to call a variable from another function (only 1variable), how do I do it? I know in the olden days you could set the variable to local or global, but that does not seem to work anymore. There is only 1 variable I need access to, but all the tutorials I have come across talk about making classes for multiple variables.
e.g. function2();
{
variable_b = variable_a;
}

I can't get it but, i'm coding in as3 and i can't target a function from a swf file loaded in the DisplayObject loader in any way. I don't want to create a class to make this function works. It's a simple function, made to change a picture every time the user navigates on another swf. Well. The point is, why in the name of God, the as3 cannot target another swf? How can i do it?

new to actionScript and trying to finish my final project, and i'm banging my head on a brick wall now, my question may be easy for some pros, basically i've loaded an external swf from a button at main.swf
[Code]...
this works fine. then i'm trying to disable the button function while the swf is loaded. I add another eventListener to the same button. function disableMenu( e:MouseEvent ):void { button1.mouseEnabled = false;}
that works too. ok now comes the problem. I have a close button on my child swf("content1.swf) to close itself and returen to main swf. but I want the button on main.swf to work again. so at the close button I add another eventListener hope to enable the menu. (note this is on the child swf!)

So, my problem, I have a Parent swf file that loads a bunch of smaller swf files. When I click on a button in one of these loaded swf files, I want to be able to call a function from the parent swf. Once called, the function manipulates things MC's within the parent swf.

new to actionScript and trying to finish my final project, and i'm banging my head on a brick wall now, my question may be easy for some pros,[code]this child swf is loaded from xml. and the close button is created by using AS file. The "button1" is just on the stage of the main swf. Maybe these make some difference so i can't just point it back using (root)?Any idea how do I resolve this? Or am I not supposedd to do it this way at all?

why the following does not work:

It seems only the first parse function is called and the rest is simply ignored.

I have this function that builds menus, and I'm using a tweening class function to move the menu items around. The thing is that when calling the tween function I need the submenu building function to wait until the tween is finished otherwise things start freaking out. It's organized like this (pseudo code):
[Code]...
The problem is that I need the first tweening to finish before I can build the submenu. I've tried using the onMotionFinished, but it doesn't seem to want to call a function nestled into another function (in this case buildMenu()).

while the condition of a if statement is true, as in the following hypothetical example, will it keep executing that code continuously until the condition somehow becomes false?
i.e. - will it keep trying to load the photo into the photo_movieClip instance continuously until the condition is false?
Code:
if (condition == true) {photo_movieClip.loadPhoto(image); //send image from array to load into photo_mc};
[i]...If so, how can i make it call that function only once even if the condition remains true?
