A function within a child swf is continuing to go, even after I remove the child swf from the stage... this wouldn't really matter, except that there are sound elements called from within this function, and those sounds continue to play!
[Code]....
i need to be able to check if a child has been removed. is there some kind of event listener for this, or is there some other way of doing it?

How to call a function in a Class from another Class?but it was a bit hard to follow as it relates to my problem. One of the solutions worked, but was commented as being bad form, and another did not work, so I want to make sure I structure my code properly.
I have created a movie clip called 'myTextContainer' and within that is a dynamic text field with the instance 'descr'.

I am trying to get a flv video to load on top of a parent swf. (A pop-up within flash). What I chose to do, was to put the flv player in a swf and try to load and unload it with the parent swf. This works great except when the child unloads, the music from the flv keeps playing. I am wondering if I have to do more than just a simple add and remove child. Here is what I have to load the swf when a button is clicked:
Code:
var movieLoader:Loader = new Loader();
playMovie_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, showMovie);
function showMovie(event:MouseEvent):void {
movieLoader.load(new URLRequest("memories_vid.swf"));
addChild(movieLoader);
[Code] .....
Once it plays the outro animation into empty keyframes. Every attempt I have made to removeChild has not work. I still have the audio from the flv playing. How do I get "close_btn" to stop everything and to completely unload the swf?
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
View 2 RepliesI have the following function to add movie clips to the stage...I assume it is the correct way to add movieclips to the stage becuase it works.
function attachMovieClips(){for (var i=0; i<list_array.length; i++){var mySelectFile:selectFile = new selectFile();mySelectFile.name = "mySelectFile"+i;mySelectFile.y = (mySelectFile.height + 10)*i;addChild(mySelectFile);}}
attachMovieClips();
i need a function to remove all the attached movie clips...I assume i need to use removeChild however everything i've tried hasn't worked...

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 sendPath:String = event.currentTarget._path;

this.parent.parent.navClicked(sendType, sendID, sendPath, sendIndex);

When I do this I get an error "Call to a possibly undefined method ' navClicked' "

function testf()
{

How do I call that function from "Washformulas"?

I have a function (let's call it testFunction for right now ) on the actions layer in the main timeline There is a movie clip with 15 frames long in the library
i want to add a child of the movie clip on the stage, and call testFunction when it finishes playing
how can i do? i tried to call it in the child but nothing works
Or, is there any way to show child on the stage for only a period of time like 1 second and then remove it automaticly?
Into my main SWF, I'm loading an external SWF with anUlLoader component. This external SWF plays an FLV using thatrespective component. Everything works fine, except that when Iclose the external SWF from within my main SWF, the FLV audiocontinues to play.

View 4 RepliesI have an air project which every seconds reads a txt file. Depending on the content of this file it loads an external swf file (the contents of the file is changed from an external program periodically)Every external swf file gots a flvplayback2.5 inside which loads and play a flv video (everthing is done locally).
The problem comes when the contents of the txt file changes and I have to unload the previous swf and load the new one.Despite the new swf loades plays fine I can still hear the audio of the previous swf playing in background.For the project I used only one Loader in which i load the external swf files. Before loading another swf inside it, I call the Loader.unload() but no luck.I thought that this method would remove also the loaded object but the Adobe reference about the unload() method says:
"Removes a child of this Loader object that was loaded by using the load() method.The property of the associated LoaderInfo object is reset to null.The child is not necessarily destroyed because other objects might have references to it; however,it is no longer a child of the Loader object.As a best practice, before you unload a child SWF file, you should explicitly close any streams in the child SWF file's objects, such as LocalConnection,NetConnection,NetStream, and Sound objects.Otherwise,audio in the child SWF file might continue to play,even though the child SWF file was unloaded.To close streams in the child SWF file,add an event listener to the child that listens for the unload event.When the parent callsLoader.unload(), the unload event is dispatched to the child."
I don't know how interal structure of the external swf is,beacause the customer gave to me only the compiled swf (I guess there's not a lot inside that swf, i think only the flvplayback control, but if i don't know the name of the flvplayback I can't invoke any stop method on it).So, do You know any method to brutally unload the loaded swf, by destroying it,no matter where it hides itself in the dark and misterious jungle of the Flash Player?

View 2 RepliesI have a main.mxml, child.mxml and headermenu.mxml. I click a button on the headermenu that dispatches an event up to the main.mxml which then executes a method in child.mxml. I know this works because I put an AlertDialog in the function I'm calling inside of the child.mxml. The child.mxml contains a drawingArea object that has an erase(). When I call this directly from child.xml it executes, however if I put drawingArea.erase() inside of the function being called by child's parent (main.mxml) nothing happens.[code]...
