ActionScript 3.0 :: Call Parent From Embed Swf?

Aug 26, 2010

What the correct way to call a parent from an embed SWF. In my case I am building a project in flashdevlop but embedding swfs for a few nav elements and I need those to either dispatch an event or call a method so it cant change pages. Best case is calling my "Main" instance. For example "Main.theMethod()" not sure if Main is seen by the embeded swf, I know in as3 I could call _root and get it, not so sure in as3.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Call A Function From A Parent Class?

Jan 23, 2009

how I reference vars/instances from a parent class by using a static function and I wonder if there is a better way to do it.

I have a main document class Main.as with a public static function called mainFunction().

ActionScript Code:
public static function mainFunction( _mc:MovieClip, _nVar:Number ):void
{
// do something

[Code]......

This can be tricky if the static function has many variables from its own class.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Way To Call Method/set Property Of A Parent?

Feb 24, 2010

To my knowledge, there are 3 options:1 - parent.publicPropertyOrMethod.2 - using static vars/methods.3 - dispatching events.Under best practise for OOP development, which is the "best" method? Are there any more?I dislike #1 and never use it as it and can easily descend into hideous parent.parent.parent references that are easily broken. #2 has it's own problems whereby attempting to get/set instance variables doesn't always work through a static function (I am yet to completely understand this). #3 is great for triggering methods (I use this the most) but sucks for altering class properties and suchlike.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Call Function Of Parent Class?

Aug 27, 2009

How can I make a call to a function in the parent class of the class I'm in.

example:

main class

Code:

package {
import flash.display.Sprite;
public class mainClass extends Sprite
{

[Code].....

I realise that there is some stuff that is missing in the "full" code here, but that's just because I'm to lazy to write it all...

How do I get the "someButton" in the "child_class" to call the "theImportantFunction" in the main class? I know that it is possible to make a "dispatchEvent" in the "mouseClick" function, and then add a eventlistener in the main class.. But is there another way to just call the function directly?

ActionScript 3.0 :: How To Call Function Of Parent Object From Loaded SWF

Nov 10, 2009

I have a swf that should be able to load another swf in runtime. Then I would like the loaded swf to call a method of the parent, loader swf, like this:

Code:
parent.closeForm;
But when I compile it, it throws this error:
1119: Access of possibly undefined property closeForm through a reference with static type flash.displayisplayObjectContainer.

I've tried:
Code:
if (parent != stage){
parent.closeForm;
}

So flash won't run this code at compile time, but it always throws that error. Here is the code of the LOADER swf:

Code:
private function loadForm():void {
var loader:Loader = new Loader()
var mRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest(formPath);
loader.load(mRequest);
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onFormCompleteHandler);
[Code] .....

How could I write an expression that should call a function of the LOADER swf without having this compile-time error?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Parent - 'call To Possibly Undefined Method'

Sep 3, 2008

I have a custom class called ToolBar which is attached to a library item. The library item has other clips within it and each is an instance of ToolBarButtonA, B, C etc and these all extend the generic class ToolBarButton. If I set an event handler for CLICK within each ToolBarButton to trace 'parent' it comes back [Object ToolBar] which is what I expected but if I try to then call a method through 'parent.methodName()' it fails saying 'call to possibly undefined method'

ActionScript 3.0 :: Child Call To Parent Function Not Working

ActionScript 3.0 :: Using Variables From Parent Movie?

Feb 3, 2009

What I am trying to do used to be very simple. I have a variable set in move A. Movie A embeds another move (Movie B) into a movie clip. Is there a simple way to call a varaible from movie a through movie b?If you need a little more detail here is what I am trying to accomplish. Movie a loads a list of information from a xml file and uses that data to set some variables within the content. (ie. based on the data it might caculate that the user listed in the xml file likes golf) Then it sets golf to true in Movie A. My problem is i need this variable throughout several of my movies and I dont want to do the calculation in ever single movie clip. I am sure I am making this much harder than it needs to be.

Actionscript 3 :: Bad Form For Child Components To Call Methods On Their Parent?

Feb 4, 2010

I have a parent class that instantiates a MenuClass and handles transitions between pages.[code]And here's the MenuClass which creates forward and backward buttons. Clicking each will tell the above ParentClass to transitionForward() or transitionBackward() respectively.[code]One one hand, I feel like the MenuClass is too tightly bound to its parent and is thus less reusable. On the other hand I feel like, in the interest of keeping everything self contained, it's not the ParentClass's responsibility to reach into the MenuClass instance and add event listeners there. This seems like there should be some kind of OOP rule-of-thumb to govern this kind of relationship.Is my MenuClass too tightly bound to its parent? And if so, do you have any suggestions that would loosen that coupling?

Parent code:

Now as you can see, i have tried the trace method, but with no luck. Flash doesn't report any errors regarding the trace method, but does report the two undefined vars (data_history). Ive tried to use the trace method above all the functions, at the top of the script, still the same errors though.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Accessing Variables From A Parent Movie?

Nov 10, 2009

i am trying to make a basic preloader for an AS3 site. I followed the tutorial on this site (Preloading actionscript 3 the easy way) where its similar to AS 2 - create a Preloader movie and load the whole .swf into it.

only problem is i need some variables that i pass to the movie via QueryString parameters in the Object and embed tags. Is there any way to get this in my loaded movie?

i have tried
root.loaderInfo.parameters
and
stage.loaderInfo.parameters
and
parent.loaderInfo.parameters

none of them work. Can i create a variable in the prelaoder and just go "parent.thevariable" ? or does parent even work when something is loaded into a loader?
