ActionScript 3.0 :: Reading SharedObject From A Child Movie
Mar 25, 2009
I made this CD catalog using Flash CS3/AS3. The main movie uses a sharedobject to tell a child movie what contents to show. Everything is very simple and works fine.Now I'm trying to convert this project to a online version. The main movie reads its own sharedobject OK. But somehow the child movie seems unable to see this sharedobject, showing sharedobject.size = 0 and all variables = undefined.Since both main movie and its child are in the same folder, I don't believe there is any domain violation.

I can create (AC3 and FMS4) remote sharedObject (but it's not listed on FMS admin panel, either on local server running on winXP Pro). When I trace results I see firstame value "myfirstname":
<...>
public var _so:SharedObject;
<...>[code]...
but when I want to get these values from another swf and browser with the same connection details, I don't receive anything. No ideas about returned errors, but i think it should be o.k., as I use like this to receive _so values:
<...>
_so = SharedObject.getRemote("myRemoteData", nc.uri, false);
_so.connect( nc );

I created a movie, which is some form of a a code generator. In that movie i save a a generated code using sharedobject.
(code in code generator movie)
var myaccess:SharedObject = SharedObject.getLocal("Lesson1");
myaccess.data.mycode = pass.text;
myaccess.flush();
Here is my problem, i want to use this created sharedobject on another, separate movie clip, is that possible?Or are sharedobjects just work on their original movie clips?
(code in separate movie)
var myaccess2:SharedObject = SharedObject.getLocal("Lesson1"); // declared a variable for holding the data from
sharedobject to see if it will load the data
txt.text = myaccess2.data.mycode // Load failed, txt.text displays undefined

I have an Movie Clip in Flash that have subobject of button type which has subobject of input text and movie clips. Right after creation core Moveclip all subobject are set to null, when I expect them to be valid objects.
[Code]...
MC_Core_design was created in Flash and exported to Actionscript. I've done this for button_1 class aswell. The code was written using Flex. When I comment out both lines that result in error I get correct view of the core Movie clip with all subobject. How can I set subobject properties right after object creation?

I don't have quite a good enough grasp on AS3 just yet, but I'm getting there.I have a movie that has an intro to it. It also has buttons that take them to subsequent pages.Once they go back, I'd like the intro portion of the movie to not play. In other words, I'd like it to start at a particular frame after the initial visit to it.I think this can be done with Local Shared Objects,

I have an external swf (sub.swf) that loads into my main swf. The external swf has buttons of its own...that I would like to use to load additional external swf's in its place. I click on the buttons and nothings happens.
My current code is as follows:
All of the following code is in my main.swf
================================
//Location where the external SWFs will load
var Xpos:Number=18;
var Ypos:Number=10;
[Code]...
External swf has no code except for a stop action.
I pieced this current code based on various articles I've found on the net.

I am loading external swf's into a main load.swf, using a Moviecliploader object. What I basically want to do is that, after an external movie, say home.swf, loads another external swf, say about.swf, home.swf should be unloaded.
home.swf is loading about.swf into the _root.mc_holder, which is placed inside load.swf. I want all external files to be placed within this holder. Now this is working with some files, but not with others. My standard code within all files is this:
//code within home.swf to load about.swf
var loader:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();var ldrlistener = new Object();loader.addListener(ldrlistener);ldrlistener.onLoadStart =

I'm working on a Flash MX application which involves a Parent movie and a Child movie.
I've loaded the Child movie into the Parent movie using LoadMovie. The instance name of the Child movie is Child1.
In the Child movie I have a user-defined function called getChildXML (we don't need to get into more details about the function).
The point here is that I want to call the getChildXML function from the Parent movie. I've tried something like Child1.getChildXML(); but with no luck.

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

I really have two questions: How do I affect both a movie clip and its child movie clip in the same function? and how do I pull info from one component into a function for another? My basic setup is a movie clip of font choices, one on each frame: "bodyText_mc." Each of these frames has a child clip "bodyText_mc.bodyText" with alignment choices for the font. For instance, the user picks "Script" in the first ComboBox and then picks "Align Right" in the second. (All of this text is static because I need more design control that I can get with dynamic text.)
First of all, I have a combobox "cbBodyFont" that I use to go from frame to frame on movieclip "bodyText_mc." This works nicely:

I have a movie clip on stage with several other movie clips inside of it. How do I refer to each child so I might do stuff to it? I have done it once before by name, but I'd rather not rely on names:
private function setUpHotSpots():void {
// loop through all the hot spots, hide them, and assign event handlers
var i:int;
var numberOfHotSpots:int = hotSpots_mc.numChildren;

I am trying to do is to add an eventListener to a MovieClip that is inside another MovieClip. Things are going like this:I have ParentMovieClip and inside ChildMovieClip. When I load ParentMovieClip I would like to add an EventListener to ChildMovieClip so that when I roll over the mouse on the ChildMovieClip it will play some scenes from the ParentMovieClip.

I have 2 movie clips, let's call them mcParent and mcChild. mcParent is a movie clip on the stage, and mcChild is a movie clip inside mcParent.I want to listen and execute a function (which is defined on the first frame of the stage), when mcChild is clicked. So I add the following script on the 1st frame of the main clip (stage):
Code:
mcParent.mcChild.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickChild);
function clickChild(e:MouseEvent):void
{
trace("click");
}
The clickChild function, however, is never called. So for whatever reason I am not receiving the event.
PS: I cannot add the event to mcChild. I know, that would be easy, but I need to have it this way, because when mcChild is clicked, I want to fade out mcParent (the clip that is on the stage).

I am designing a site which has a movieclip, say parent_mc, and inside that movieclip there is a movieclip child_mc which has a 10sec animation. In the document class I have created an instance of parent_mc and added it to the display list [code]...
Now this adds makes the child movie clip play over and over so I want to stop it right at the beginning, and add eventlisteners to play it. But how can I stop it in the beginning?

I have a portfolio page with several trailer thumbnails (a portfolio list). If you click on each, the page changes and you see the trailer in a video player, plus more info about the film. I used two frames in the timeline: the first frame has the clip with the thumbnails (port_list). The second frame has a movie clip container and the video player. The idea is that pressing the respective button from port_list will load the details of that movie and the movie into the video player. I am using this script:
ZSQ_but.onRelease = function (){
_parent.gotoAndStop("por_details");
myplayer.contentPath = "videos/ZSQ.flv";
por_details_cont.attachMovie("ZSQ_details","ZSQ_de tails",0);
}
Even though the script looks alright (and works alright if at the root level), it will not work from the child clip. What am I doing wrong??
