ActionScript 3.0 :: Loadinf Swf With URL Path As A Variable From A Class?
Oct 18, 2009
I need to load an external SWF into a movieclip, and get the name of the SWF from a variable from a class. The variable is called getSWF and is defined as the following in the class
public var getSWF = "movie.swf";
When I trace(getSWF); on the first frame of the main time line it outputs fine. However when I use the following code on the movieclip:
var imageRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest (getSWF);
var imageLoader:Loader = new Loader();
imageLoader.load(imageRequest);
addChild(imageLoader);
I was wondering if it possible to write up some AS that will take line paths that you have drawn and convert them into a Path object? For example say you drew a jagged line from left to write, would there be a way to have AS convert that into a Path object.
I am coming from flash to flashbuilder I have a directory, AS3_classes_dir, on my computer that stores all of my classes, including my greensock and papervision packages. In every flash app that I make I include that directory in the Source Path, so that I can import whatever I may need. Compiling in flash (using ctrl/enter) takes very little time; only the classes that are specifically imported are compiled.So today I did that in flashbuilder, included AS3_classes_dir via Flex Build Path/Source Path ... but now the compile time are a couple of minutes, even though I am not even importing ANY of the classes from within.
I have several UIs and wish to automatically load images into the containers. I have repeated the actionscript line, which has created a lot of code.As the lines are similar all but the image number, I am thinking to use a loop and variable to insert the image number into the code. Here is the code:[code]a variable to replace the number between I am not sure how to do the same for the Movie Clip path.Is it possible to use a variable to define the number (2) in this statement?
I am trying to create an xml based site navigation that will drill down to an infinite number of xml levels. I have tried to send an xml path as a variable with the currently selected menu item but I doesn't seem to work. Here is my code, it seems as though it should work, but it does not.
The bold below is what I would like to work, however it does not. It might not be able to happen like this at all.
basically on mouse down I take the event.target.name and perform a string manipulation to get the number out of the target and add some string to front and end to get the name of the movieclip I would like to effect. Is it possible to insert the value of dotName into the path?
eventName = event.target.name; stringManip1 = eventName.substring(13, eventName.indexOf("_")); //get the Number before the _ dotName = "dot" + stringManip1 +"_mc"
I have a variable that is refers to the names of folders, and I need to insert the variable into the pathname when I loadMovie. I cannot seem to get the variable to become part of the pathname
loadMovie('VARIABLE/image.jpg', _root.loadhere);
I've tried parenthesis, [], (), do not know the correct way to call the variable.
I have a menu with 4 tabs. When I click on one I want it to open and the previous one to close.
I'm storing the previous tab as a variable (_previousTab) but am having trouble adding the variable to the path to the MovieClip of the previous tab. The error Flash gives me is:
TypeError: Error #1010: A term is undefined and has no properties. at MenuRun/menuOpen()
[Code]....
If I replace mainframe[_previousTab] with the name of the MovieClip it works fine. I'm thinking it's something to do with the variable being a String perhaps?
through out a very old complicated fla there are buttons which set variables using _global paths
such as:
function menu1_2(Event:MouseEvent) { global.mode = "hide_hotbox"; MovieClip(this).gotoAndStop("stage_1_b"); }
How can I make the variable "hide_hotbox" and others like it accessible and changeable from any movie clip -- whether they be nested in other movie clips or on the main timeline, etc?
I'd like some help on using a variable in a path to a MovieClip. I have a menu with 4 tabs. When I click on one I want it to open and the previous one to close.

So I've created a script where a mc is clicked on and the player can draw a path using the mouse. I'm trying to figure out how I can get the mc to follow the path drawn out by the player's mouse and when the player clicks again, it erases all of the path.my code is below
I am having a hard time understanding the class path for custom classes. For example I created a folder called myapp and in this folder I have Main.as. In my flash file for the Document Class I put Main. But it can't find the Main.asSo in the flash preferences, Action Script, ActionScript 3 settings, I added a path "myapp". Is this the correct way to do this? It works but I don't know if it is correct.
How do i control a movie clip which path is contained in a variable? I.E.: I have a variable called: _root.activeButton The variable has this path as a value: _root.buttons.button1 Q: How do I tell _root.buttons.button1 to go to frame 1? I think it is something like this, but I can't remember exactly: [_root.activeButton].gotoAndStop(1)
I'm trying to load an as3 swf in another as3 swf,but it says it can't find a class that's being used in the swf that I'm trying to load.I want to know if I can specify the path of the class that's being used so that the swf can locate it when loaded to the main swf.Here's the error I get:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. at ro.fwd.template::Main()
I tried scpecifying the path in the publish settings, but had no luck.
i have a problem adressing or targetting a attached mc when i target de mc directly it works fine but when i try it trough a variable it doesnt recognise its path anymore??? hopefully a part of the code is gonna explain the situation a litle better... this piece works fine:
Does anyone know whether it would be possible to set a motion path for a movie clip and to have the speed of the tween set as a variable which can be increased or decreased by the user during the movie?
