ActionScript 3.0 :: Changes To Variables And Elements Are Not Reflected When One SWF Is Loaded Into Another
Apr 23, 2011
I am trying to figure out why changes to variables and elements are not reflected when one SWF is loaded into another. main.swf
[Code]...
When the main file is tested the out put of the traces is 50 & 300 which is what the variable and the bg object are set to at the top instead of what they changed to in the productsLoaded(event:Event) function. It's as if the myloader listener is ignoring changes to variables & elements inside of the loaded SWFs listener function. Seems wrong and very confusing.

I have a Flex project and am using a trial version of Adobe Flex Builder 3 to build it.
I do the following:
1. Change an mxml file in the project (for simplicity, assume I changed the text in a label).
2. Right click on the project, Export, Release Build
3. Right click on the main mxml file, Run As -> Flex Application
A browser window opens, everything runs fine, but I cannot see the change I made in step 1.
I thought the browser (tried with IE, Chrome) might be caching stuff, so I tried after deleting all temporary internet files, but I see the same behavior.

I'm having a bit of a problem here. The following code, it seems to me, should print '2'. However, it prints a '1'.
[code]...
Am I missing something? I came from a VB.NET background, where a call like this would update the value of 'a'. And, on a related note, if I have a variable in my document class that I stick in a MovieClip, then I update the variable from my document class, the change is not reflected in the copy in the MovieClip Is there a way to overcome this?

I have an AdvancedDataGrid with variable row height set to true.I have written a cutsom item renderer based on the DataGroup spark component. Each row in the grid has multiple entities to display, the x position and width of the entites are based on the data of the entity itself.I have a custom layout written for the DataGroup that measures and posistions each entity based on its data. Each entity in each row can either truncate or not truncate its label. When the labels are not truncated, I calculate the actual width of the object and validate its size manualy (to force the label to have the correct width and layout all its text lines and remeasure itself) within the DataGroup's Layout's measure method to accurately measure the datagroup itself.The layouts, measuring, sizing, display, etc all work correctly. The entitys report the correct height they need when not truncating the labels, the datagroup reports the correct size it needs to draw all of its row's worth of entities (all from measure methods like they need to under the UIComponent lifecycle).When inside the AdvancedDataGrid itself, rows are not sized correctly. The majority of the rows do not require multiple lines and display just fine. Those that require multiple lines have larger row heights, but not large enough to accomodate the entire text in most cases. The DataGroup for that row (and its itemRenderers) are clipped. Furthermore, When scrolling the grid, every row scrolled onscreen is the default 1 text line height, irregardless of data.In any case, resizing the AdvancedDataGrid (not resizing its columns, but the grid itself) forces all rows to snap to the correct desired height.Scrolling again produces incorreclty sized rows.
Additionally, the layout of each entity in the row is determined by several external factors - most commonly being visible range (along the horizontal). Changing this visible range will trigger all item renderers to resize themselves (through the custom layout class) to their new sizes and remeasuring the new DataGroup layout. This actually triggers a custom hierarchy parser which rebuilds all the ArrayCollections used inside the AdvandedDataGrid data provider, so ArrayCollections are dispatching change events that each row's DataGroup reacts to, so the DataGroup itself is invalidating its size and layout.These resizes do not trigger the AdvancedDataGrid to remeasure its row heights, and I must rezise the ADG itself again to snap the rows to the correct height.Anyone have any experience with dynamically sized rows in an AdvancedDataGrid or ItemRenderers which must forcibly make the AdvandedDataGrid re-layout its rows?
Unfortunately, I cannot provide source code as there are a huge number of classes going into this, hierarchial data, rolling up closed nodes into multiple rows, custom hierarchy parsers, a multitude of item renderers - that and its a Government contract.I have run into a similar issue with a much simpler item renderer, basically a label that will respect a max height, resize itself upto that height as its wordwrapping data will require, and then create scrollbars for itself. Again, the data sizes almost correclty when the grid is created, then changing the column width within the grid does not resize the row height as the item renderer adjusts to its new width. Only in resizing the grid itself do the item renderers resize correctly, create scroll bars, and the grids row heights are correct.The source for that item renderer:[code]Very wide column, no scroll bars, the labels measured height is shown in the row height.Smaller width column, some renderers have hit max height and are creating scroll bars, the last renderer is still using the measured height of the label.Smaller still column, all max heights are hit and scrollers are present for all labels, scrollers will select the row when used but allow scrolling so all text is viewable.

I have a small bitmap, and it's one that's going to be scaled to be much larger then added to another bitmap. So I have the bitmap and I changed to width to make it larger, then when I use copyPixels to place this bitmap onto the main bitmap the image added is the original bitmap, not with the width changed. How can I make it reflect the changes?

Myapp loads an external swf and adds it to MovieClip.External swf movie has elements that are placed outside the stage (they go on the stage during swf playing). But after loading that elements are visible in the main MovieClip.In other words, it looks like the whole space outside the stage is visible as well as the stage.How to hide elements outside the stage of loaded swf?

I have a small quick question about xml loaded images. Can you append/attach/swap the images to elements in your scene?
I would like to manually animate a movieclip using keyframes and motion tweens. For example, to have a movieclip FLY! accross the screen! lol But I want the image on it to be of one that has been dynamically loaded.
I can't seem to work out how to replace an image on a movieclip from a dynamically loaded image. Is it even possible?

does anyone know how to shift all the array elements by one or more without deleting the array itself?
Something like rotating the array:

I am creating a flash program to open other flash programs (load swf files), and change their textfields to my own extended textfield class. This is to capture all text written to screen using a textfield object. Here is what I am doing:
1. If a textfield has been created, the event is captured
2. I want to replace the textfield with my own class extending textfield
*3. Any further access to the original textfield for value changes can be captured, and would update the replaced extended textfield object
The problem is if in their original code, at sometime, the text value of textfield is changed (mainly through textFieldObj.text = some_value) , I don't know how to capture this event.
This cannot be captured by event.CHANGE which requires the user input (ie: keyboard strokes) into the actual text field and changing the text through the code: textFieldObj.text = some_value does not trigger the event.
Here is a simplified example:
// FlashMovie.fla START -------------------------------------------
// any DisplayObjects (such as a created textfield) created will be captured
// by ChildAdded()
this.addEventListener(Event.ADDED, ChildAdded);

I'm having a SWF call functions from another SWF loaded in the first one with the Loader class. There are no problems as long as the target SWF does not contain any TLF TextFields created on stage by authoring time interface. As soon as I place a dynamic textfield on the stage of the loaded SWF, the main SWF (the loader) fails to call any of the functions within the SWF that is being loaded.Static text does not seem to present problems and neither do TextFields created via ActionScript.Also, is it possible to access variables of the parent SWF?

I am having a problem accessing variables in a loaded flash movie.
As my understanding goes (someone please correct me if I am wrong), if I load a flash movie into a parent movie (i.e. 'loadMovie("myMovie", emptyClip);'), I should be able to access the loaded movie's variables using dot-syntax.
As an example, say I have two movies: MainMovie.swf, and SubMovie.swf. SubMovie.swf contains a (global) variable called someText. After loading SubMovie into an empty movie clip called "emptyClip", MainMovie.swf should be able to access the aforementioned variable by saying "emptyClip.someText", right....? Well, when I try this I keep getting an undefined value for the variable.

I am developing a flash board game which entails moving a piece around a board as a result of throwing a dice (the person will either move the dice themselves or it will move according to the outcome of the throw). When they land on particular squares I am going to have a random question (this is going to be a loaded SWF) appear that will have a multiple choice questions.Can I save the result of 'multiple choice question' within the main movie / separate movie and then use this variable ?

so I have menu.swf that uses loadClip to bring in data.swf
Depending on what button is pressed I want menu to read menuHeight = 4600; from data.swf
in data swf I declare the var as _root.menuHeight = 4600;
and in menu.swf I try to read it as normal. menuHeight.
Shouldnt this work since the _root. of data.swf is the _root. of menu.swf?

in my script, when a button is clicked it loads a movie clip from the library onto the stage
but what that movie clip does is supposed to be dependant on what button is being pressed. however that movie clip being loaded onto the stage doesn't seem to recognize or load any of the variables from the stage.
its as if, since the movie clip does not exist when the fla is initially run, the movie clip doesnt recognize previously existing variables.. or doesnt recognize any variables outside of itself

I made a .as Class where some graphical elements are spawned into the stage. However, the Flash (.fla) have some internal graphics that are supposed to be over the graphical elements spawned from the custom class.I tried to make another layer over the layer where the as3 Class is being called, but unfortunately it doesn't do anything, the graphic from the .as still appearing over the internal .fla graphics.
