ActionScript 3.0 :: Unload Parent Swf From Child Swf?
Jan 5, 2011
Parent swf has a button to load Child swf and Child swf has a button to unload itself through a dispatchEvent. Both in respective document classes. Parent loads Child fine... Child can't remove itself! Anyone have an idea what I am doing wrong here? Or another way to go about this? Struggling for a day now...
Parent swf:
public var myLoader:Loader;
loadButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, loadSWF)
public function loadSWF(e:MouseEvent):void {
[Code]....

I have a flash page where I am loading another .swf into. With a button in the loaded swf I need to unload the loaded swf (where the button is) and navigate to a specific frame label in the parent .swf. I've tried to do the following in the key frame where the swf get loaded into I've put the following:
var gallery_load_wonderland:Loader = new Loader();
gallery_load_wonderland.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEve nt.PROGRESS, loop_wonderland);
gallery_load_wonderland.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPL ETE, done_wonderland);
gallery_load_wonderland.load(new URLRequest("gallery_wonderland.swf"));
function loop_wonderland(e:ProgressEvent):void {
[Code] .....
I basically want to first load the swf called "gallery_wonderland.swf". Then in the "gallery_wonderland.swf" there's a button called "contact03_btn" which I want to unload "gallery_wonderland.swf" even though it's inside the swf and navigate to the frame label called "Contact" in the parent swf.
What can I do I've done similar before and it works, but when I do it know and I click the contact03_btn it comes with following error message:
TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert flash.display::Stage@26215ba1 to flash.display.MovieClip.
at gallery_wonderland_fla::MainTimeline/back_wonderland()[gallery_wonder land_fla.MainTimeline::frame1:227]

If you haven't met me yet, that's because I'm pretty new around here. I picked up ActionScript just earlier this week, actually. Name's Kate. Nice to meet you. All righty. I'll start by saying that I've been referencing this thread:

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 got a Parent Sprite, let's name it SpriteP, which holds inside it two other Sprites. Sprite1 and Sprite2.[code]Sprite2 is a rectangle. When I rotate it, of course, the height of its parent, SpriteP, GROWS. But I would expect that height to go back to what it should be when I'm removing Sprite2!And it does! If I remove Sprite2 while NOT being rotated, the height of the parent drops back to normal, 200.

i am slightly confused about the parent and child relationship. lets assume we have several different instances, what would be difference of adding them all as children of the stage and creating a parent-child hierarchy between them(other than the access path).

I got a Parent Sprite, let's name it SpriteP, which holds inside it two other Sprites. Sprite1 and Sprite2.
When Sprite2 is NOT rotated:
Code:
trace(SpriteP.width + ' ' + SpriteP.height); //100 250.
SpriteP.removeChild(Sprite2)
trace(SpriteP.width + ' ' + SpriteP.height); //100 200. -> works, 200 is good.
When Sprite2 is rotated at 90:

And it does! If I remove Sprite2 while NOT being rotated, the height of the parent drops back to normal, 200. But if I rotate Sprite2, the Parent won't update its bounds.

[code]All clips are squared.Ok, on the PlayerPlane, there are little soldiers, which have hotkeys. The effect I'm trying to create is I want to position the GameStage so that the currently selected soldier appears in the center of the GameClicker clip.The GameStage is movable by the player (to scan other areas of the map)by holding the CTRL key, so it's easy to kinda lose track of where your players are.I have tried using localTo Global and globalToLocal techniques, but I think I'm lost on the actual math of getting the GameStage to move the correct distance so that the selected soldier is centered to the GameClicker.[code]

if I add a clip to the stage as a child and remove the parent and set the parent equal to null, does the child get collected and removed from memory? What if the child has an image loaded into it as its child?
In my application I'm loading a series of png images as overlays that can be tinted for customizing in this app. When I trace my memory, the basic app idles at 64,000 k. The exact second I load those overlay images it goes up to 205,000k. If I remove those clips and "clear" the stage I should go back down to 64,000 k if everything is removed and collected correctly, right? It's not, it's hanging at 215,000 k. Are my images being cached and that is the reason for the memory staying up? If so, how do I prevent that. Or upon removing the parent of the image how can I un-cache the image.
If a user switches between models and loads several different items then the application actually crashes the Flash environment because of too much memory usage. It also does the same to browsers.

I have a parent swf which loads many child swfs (though only one is displayed at a time). My intention was to use the loaded SWFs document class to retrieve an array of objects to be assigned a tab index, combine this with the parent's own array of objects and apply sequential tab indices to them all. But what happens is actually that the parent's objects are assigned an index, but the external swf is unaffected. In fact, the external swf retains its automatic tab indexing, when I would expect that having set a value for InteractiveObject.tabIndex, automatic tab indexing would be disabled.
I've seen similar tales elsewhere. Most posts I've read are wanting to load an external swf, give it focus and loop through those objects, then close the swf and return to looping through the parent. However I would like loop through all objects as one. including manipulating the focus manager(s), and basically fiddling with every tab-related property I know.

I have an issue where removechild won't infact remove a child. I think its something to do with my dropTarget.parent issues. The concept of the code is that you drag a source onto a destination. When you drop the source onto the destination you will get a text field that says "Hello" or "Goodbye". The objective i want to achive is that once i drop a source onto the destination, removechild will remove any previouse textfields added. This is proving difficult.

Here is a working script to drag drop a ball from the stage into another target mc:
ball.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, pickUp);
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, dropIt);
function pickUp(event:MouseEvent):void{ [code]...
It works well but I'm new to AS3 and I am having difficulty amending this script to drag the ball out of a parent mc (instead of the stage) and onto another mc (the target mc). To explain: imagine a ball, a box, a tri, + more shapes all within a scrolling mc (initial parent), the user scrolls to select a shape, then drag-drops onto a target mc on the stage.The scrolling is no problem, but how would you amend the script above so that the ball can start inside a parent mc rather than on the stage itself?

I have a parent .swf who load 3-4 external swf. In a external swf (let's name it "X") u can order items u want. Because i don't want to lose the informations of the 'shopping' bag of customer when the parent swf unload the 'X' and load something another (for example "contact us"), i use localconnection with both duplex between parent swf and 'X'.
Problem: In the swf "X" i have an array "Bag" which holds the id of items the customer clicked to buy. When change the external swf, i send via localconnection to the parent .swf this array (done, i tried with trace). And when the parent loads again the external .swf "X" , it send again the same array via localconnection to "X". The "X" receives it right (done, i verified it with trace). The strange is.. when the customer clicks another item, the array resets to zero!!!

I'm loading a movie in externally. The external movie has a button to unload itself from the main movie. It loads into _root.calContainer. The button is called xButton. This is the script that's not working:
_this.xButton.onRelease = function() {
_global.calContainer.unloadMovie;
}
I've also tried. _root.calContainer to no avail.
