ActionScript 3.0 :: Refer To Display Object From External Swf?
Aug 26, 2010
my document class creates custom class variables to load both a slide show and menu .swf instance to the stage.a few questions:my document class extends Sprite, so any addChild() will put that object on the display list?if so, how do I allow script inside the menu instance to refer to other display objects?The following code is within my document class, inside my doc class function:
Code:
/*load menu*/
var menuLoader:preLoad = new preLoad("menu_as3.swf",800,0,1,1,0,1);

I'm making a game where I have a lot of movie clips that I need to load so I was wondering wheather ActionScript 3.0 allowed us to load external movieclips? Can we import an external display object (movieclip) into a display object container? Or do I have to load a .swf which contains the movieclip onto the stage? What happens if I need to pull in multiple .swf files can the movieclips overlap or will one .swf file block the user from viewing the .swf in a lower depth? Can I import the movieclip from the external .swf file from its library and add it to the main stage rather then adding the whole .swf to the main stage?

I have a container movie which loads another movie into a Loader object which then gets added to the main timeline. The loaded movie has a main class which controls all the other classes in that movie. The container movie has one other element - a scrollbar which scrolls the loaded movie (which is longer than the container) up and down.
When content changes in the loaded movie I need to pass a message to the scrollbar. If I trace parent.parent.parent from the init() function of the loaded movie it traces [object MainTimeline]. My scrollbar, sBar is a direct child of the main timeline, but tracing parent.parent.parent.sBar doesn't work So how can I pass a reference to the scrollbar to the loaded movie? Here's the code in the container movie:
PHP Code:
var ldr:Loader = new Loader();
var sBar:Scrollbar;
ldr.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.INIT, initHandler);

the traces when the button is clicked twice are 'the id is myButton' followed by 'the id is yourButton'
Not just an idle query. I was hoping to change the id of custom components when populating a main app with them

I have a main swf file that is loading multiple external SWF file when a menu button is clicked. Now I want to target a specific swf file to add an extra child from library or from another swf when that specific swf file is loaded. How should I do that? What should I put within the if statement?
var newswf:URLRequest= new URLRequest("./swfs/"+ event.target.name +".swf");
loader.load(newswf);
addChild(loader); //loading swfs dynamically

If I create a rectangle with 100px width and 100px height and then rotate it, the size of the element's "box" will have increased.With 45 rotation, the size becomes about 143x143 (from 100x100).Doing sometimes like cos(angleRad) * currentWidth seems to work for 45 rotation, but for other bigger angles it doesn't.At the moment I am doing this:
var currentRotation = object.rotation;
object.rotation = 0;
var normalizedWidth = object.width;

I'm going to be building a site for a photographer and would like to be able to do something like the thumbnail navigation in this example: [URL] I'm assuming it's adding the thumbnails to the Display Object via an array based on an external XML file, and displaying them once their corresponding full-size images are loaded ... Perhaps it's building the nav simply by looking to see how many photos there are in a folder on the server (i.e. no discreet XML added for each shot). Not sure if this idea is even possible -- would like to hear from any of you if in fact it is.

I would like to know how to access a XMLList object in main timeline from movieclips.Can XML be accessed through 2nd level(nested movieclips)? In frame 1 of main timeline, the XML file has been loaded.
var xmlData:XML = new XML();
var data:XMLList;
xmlData.ignoreWhite = true;

If one uses [Embed] to refer to external graphic assets its easy to instantiate and use them.However, I've got a png in an Fla, with the Class identifier set to "Symbols", Base class is BitmapData.I need to instantiate it like this:
var symbols:BitmapData = new Symbols(1, 1);
addChild(new Bitmap(symbols));
Of course the compiler complains about a call to a possibly undefined method Symbols.For a temporary fix I guess i'll put the graphic external to the swf, but for this project it needs to be in the library along with everything else.

can I resize a display object (container) without its contents (children) are resized?
For example, in the following code when I resize the green square, red is also resized. I wanted to resize only the green.
ActionScript Code:
import flash.display.Sprite;
var sprite:Sprite = new Sprite();
sprite.graphics.beginFill(0xff0000);

Can you make one Bitmap Object (I'm using an external jpg) or something similar, and then display it many times simultaneously without creating a separate object each time?
Also, would they be easily removed or hidden?
I've got a little checkmark jpg graphic loaded here, but I'm not sure how to go about using it in many places at once.. I can only display it in the one place at any one time...
I'm thinking there might be a way to load the picture once, then use its bitmapData elsewhere in new display objects somehow, without needing to reload the image over and over?

It's my understanding that a display object cannot be in the display list more that once.So if I add something to the stage shouldn't a second addition of the same object replace the first? for instance:
[code]...
there should now only be one "myDisplayObject" on the stage.

I am trying to build an MXML application with Flash Builder 4.5, and I am integrating an API that requires the root of a display object to be a MovieClip. Personally I think this is bad design but I have to go with it. The root object always seems to end up as the stage, because of course I have to add the object to the stage for it to be added to the display list. Is there some way that I can either change the stage type in an MXML application to a MovieClip or is there some way to force a MovieClip wrapper to become the root of a display object?

I have MCs loaded from the Fla library through my main class. These are drag objects. When one of these is clicked, I want the player to run a function that will disables some based on one selected. When I tried the obvious reference, I had an error. I've been advised to add these to an array, but I can't even do that.
Code:
import HO_42;
I set the objet to a variable above the constructor function:
Code:
private var office:HO_42;
The constructor calls a function that loads the objects to the stage (and this works fine if I don't try to access the object), here is an example of the load and access code:
Code:
office = new HO_42();
addChild(office);
office.x = 441.9;

i have a tinted mc on the stage, which i want on roll-over to change its tint - so far no problem, but not surprisingly i want to return to the original tint on roll-out, and that's where my problem is - how to get the tintColor property?
i'll make it even more simple - place a MC on the stage, give it some tint. now according to the help files the 'tintColor' is a property of the Color class, however if you'll write this code: trace(_mc.transform.colorTransform.color.tintColor) you'll get an error, for the 'color' property of the 'colorTransform' returns uint, not a Color object.
ok, let's try to overpass this issue by doing so:
var ct:ColorTransform = _mc.transform.colorTransform;var c:Color = new Color(ct.redMultiplier,ct.greenMultiplier,ct.blueMultiplier,ct.alphaM ultiplier,ct.redOffset,ct.greenOffset,ct.blueOffset,ct.alphaOffset);trace(c,c.tintColor, c.tintMultiplier);
the output you'll get is your clip's color AFTER the tinting and 0 for both tintColor and tintMultiplier. and in case you wonder, it doesn't matter if i apply the tint directly to the MC on stage or with code. so how can i get a display object's tintColor?

I have a Flash application that includes an MC (bitmap object) that is dynamically assigned to a Class. In that Class, other graphics are created, but the class MC is overlapping those graphics. Event though I tried dynamic depth swapping, it generally works, yet not for the inherent MC assigned to the class. The MC still overlaps the other graphic, even if I have swapped that graphic to the top depth

I tried to mask a 3D Display object using some code from the AS3 reference but was unsuccessful:
var square:Sprite = new Sprite();
square.graphics.beginFill(0xFF0000);
square.graphics.drawRect(0, 0, 40, 40);
addChild(square);
myDisplayObject.mask = square;
Is it possible to mask a 3D Display Object? (Can I draw a 3D Display Object through the Flash UI or must it be done via AS3? My guess is no, otherwise more people would be doing 3D in Flash without great travail.)

Is there a way to make a display object always be at the top of the display list?For example, I know you can set the childIndex, i.e:setChildIndex(myDisplayObject, numChildren-1);But is there a way that an object has sensed that something else has been added to the display list and restack themselves accordingly?

I have a flash slideshow with 2 divs overlaying it, one at the top and one at the bottom.[code]Both overlay properly in Firefox/Safari/Chrome, but nothing I try seems to make it work in IE. I'm using Remy Sharp's HTML 5 enabling script to make the HTML5 mark-up work in lower versions of IE.What's funny is that the second div, #intro overlays correctly, but #top-menu always appears behind the` slideshow.All 3 elements are absolutely positioned with z-indexes explicitly set. No matter how high or low I set them the flash object is always in front of the #top-menu element.I have checked the rendered <param> tags and one of them lists wmode as transparent.The flash object is dynamically inserted with php through a CMS, so I have no access to the <embed> tag that many have suggested adding the transparent attribute to.
