ActionScript 3.0 :: Using GetQualifiedClassName Isn't Working For Exported Symbols In Loaded .swf?
Oct 26, 2011
I have a bunch of symbols defined inside of a .fla file which are exported for actionscript -- IE, given a class definition name. In this .fla file, there is one symbol that pretty much contains all of the other symbols. The definition names are basically used to locate each symbol so that I can wrap each symbol with appropriate functionality.Also, sometimes I want to create a new instance of the symbol, so that is nice. Anyway, here is an example of the code that finds children based on their class name, it works nicely:
Code:
public static function getChildByClass(target:DisplayObjectContainer, className:String):DisplayObject
We have a number of SWFs that we use as asset libraries.These SWFs each contain a bunch of statically exported symbols.I'm trying to make a tool to help catalog our assets.I want the tool to be able to load these library SWFs and extract a list of all the exported symbols each contains.Is that possible to do?I can't find a way to enumerate or iterate over the exported symbols in the application domains of the loaded SWFs.
(I could swear I saw an example of doing this in documentation somewhere, but now I can't find it... I'm wondering if I dreamed it, or misinterpreted some other example.)I'd be game for doctoring up the library SWFs in some way, e.g. m
I'm attempting to use CS4 (PC/Vista, if that matters) to create a SWF file that will basically act as a "library" of commonly used symbols. This SWF would be loaded at runtime by other SWFs, which could then use the symbols within it, including all art and code assets.
When I load an swf dynamically using the Loader, is there any way that I can retrieve the symbols that are exported as as3 classes? I know I can instantiate the symbols when I know the classname using loaderInfo.applicationDomain.getDefinition(fullyQualifiedName) as Class But I can't find something like applicationDomain.getDefinitions() which would result an array of fully qualified classnames, like
I have a lot of graphics and sounds in my library that are exported for Actionscript in Frame 1. I believe that because of the exported graphics, my preloader will not work. All I get is a white frame while the movie loads. How can you preload graphics that are exported for Actionscript?
I have this presentation that I decompiled using sothink. It is originally an swf file made from swishmax. I need to modify contents so I decompiled it to edit on Adobe Flash.. Problem is: some Sprite buttons are not working once exported.. This is a simple question and answer quiz test that once you select on the multiple choice and click the button to check your answer it tells whether your answer is correct or not. Here are some codes on it:
What I'm trying to do is export a datagrid to a PDF, which is working fine except that it keeps dropping out the data of the 4th column every time. I've set breakpoints to make sure the data is still there and it shows up but when the PDF is created that whole column has no data in it.
ActionScript Code: private function printPDF(event:MouseEvent):void{ this.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, printPDF) var PDFcolumns:Array = getPDFColumns(_dataGrid); var resultsArray:Array = _dataGrid.dataProvider.toArray(); var pdf:PDF = new PDF(Orientation.PORTRAIT,Unit.MM,Size.LETTER); [Code] .....
I exported sounds into subMain.swf and when I publish the movie, and I tell them to start,they do. But, when I load subMain.swf into my main.swf and I tell them to start from there, they don't.

In a flash project, I am loading an external SWF that has some symbols in its library exported for ActionScript. I need to create instances of those symbols but, since it's a loaded SWF I don't have direct access to that classes.
I have several SWF's (secondary) published that I want to load into a main (primary) SWF file when the corresponding button is released. I'm currently using loadMovie to load external SWFs into a container_mc on main stage of primary SWF. This works, the secondary SWF loads when it's button is released.But, the secondary SWF has items in it's library that Export for Actionscript, and they should load onto the secondary SWFs stage inside a container_mc (has a different instance name from the one used in main stage). These library items are not showing up. One should load immediately, the others after button releases. None are loading.Should this work? Will items in the library of the secondary SWF that are set to Export for Actionscript be available to load once the secondary SWF is loaded into the primary SWF? Do I have to share the library of the loaded SWF with the main SWF?
I'm running into an issue with a Library class not being able to get the correct getQualifiedClassName. Here is my setup. I have a lot of MovieClips on the stage with instances names like item0, item1, item2 and so on. What I need to do is extend some of those items and give them extra functionality so I opened the items Symbol properties dialog box that I wanted to add a custom Base class to and Checked Export For Actionscript. Kept the Class name the same as the stage instance name. as it needs a unique class name. Then for the BaseClass I added a path to my class that I wanted each item to have extra functionality. The base class was called StageItem which extends MovieClip
I'm trying to dynamically load different MovieClips based on user input. Several of those clips have embedded url link symbols. How can I add event listeners to the url links if the dynamically loaded MovieClip does not have an instance name? Seems like I can (right?) apply an instance name when the clip is loading, but the event listener doesn't compile because the name is not there yet, so that seems out.
I used this tut to create a menu. [URL] And my question is; Can I make the slider to move after a movie clip symbols instead of button symbols? That way my menu would be animated.
I'm working through a book called Foundation Game Design with Flash, and I'm finding the Flash IDE confusing. I've been programming for several years, so working with AS3 directly is far easier than trying to understand symbols and nested symbols and the difference between graphics and movie clips and scoping issues and all that -- when tied into the IDE.
How many of you who are making games in AS3 also use the Flash IDE? Can anyone recommend a resource that is AS3 heavy and Flash IDE light? I don't care how much time I may or may not save by using things like the timeline, I just want to understand what I'm using.
EDIT SORRY I obviously got that wrong in the title! below is the correction I am wondering if there is a better alternative to my current use of: "getQualifiedClassName(e.target)=='ClassName' " I use it in cases where I want to know what object is say clicked:
I have a "photo" gallery that loads numerous SWFs through xml, one by one on click. All works fine. All my SWF work fine stand alone. But when I load them into the player, many swf dont work properly.in example, I have textinput textfields in many of the swfs, which work fine on their own but not when loaded into the player. Then I have a word search game that works fine when alone, not when in player. I can see there is something as my mouse cursor changes into the "button finger", but nothing visual.
All drag and drop assigments work fine etc. I have no idea whats up. I have receantly switched to as3 and in as2 there was _lockroot declaration that solved similar problems, but now in as3 (where it supposedly should be automatic) it doesnt work. As it seems that it cannot recognise it own stage value, or selection_focus when loadedinside another swf through xml.Using cs4, as3.
I'm trying to work with a movie clip that I am loading into my main SWF. When run alone the draggable rail works fine but once loaded into the actual main SWF it won't drag. I put an on EnterFrame on it so that when I click it reads out some data and that still works within the main swf. Is there some sort of restriction on what loaded content can do?
On my website: www.iferanart.com under the animations tab I have several animations that I embeded using Flash's premade option: "SkinOverPlay SeekStop.swf" player. The only change made to it was the color.My problem is that, as you can see when you go to the website and click on an animation, there are no play options at all.I have no idea what to do to fix this because when I publish preview they are there...but once I loaded the website to the server..nothing. The website is coded in AS3, built with Flash CS4.
i have a chat page in flash, that works.but when i load the chat true a loader (loadmovie) it works but only the cam is not working (own cam).in my chat.swf this works
if (Camera.names.length > 0) { cam = Camera.get();[code].....
to view a local copy of the cam.the same fuction works it i put it in the loader.swf but when the chat.swf is loaded into the loader.swf the fuction does not work anymore.also not working when loaded true the loader
cam.onStatus = function (data) { tracer.text = data.code;[code].....
and works when loading the chat.swf directly.viewing camstreams works, but publishing and local view dont works
I have a movie with a scrollpane component that loads an external swf. The loaded swf has input text fields with tabIndex defined. When testing the external swf alone, the tab order works fine. When testing it within the main movie, it doesn't, probably because hitting tab focusses on the elements on the main timeline.
I have tried various things with tabChildren, stage.focus, tabEnabled to no avail - probably because I am not doing it right.
I am using XML to load an external SWF that has a form using PHP. (Tutorial from, also using XML box resize tutorial to load from with XML) The form works, as far as sending the email correcly, but it does not goto the next frame that says with back button, so it may be confusing to the user if it doesn't do anything when the click send.On the form it has this actionscript attached:
onClipEvent(data){ // show welcome screen _root.nextFrame();
I have several external SWFs loading into another SWF shell that contains all the files. The problem that I am running into is when some of the external SWF's are loaded into the shell the links stop working. I am using the getURL script to call a javascript function on one link and the same getURL on another link to call the mailto function.
When I test these files on my system and the web, both individually and in the shell, everything works perfectly. However, as soon as I embed the shell SWF into an html page these links don't work and won't do anything. But other links in different external SWF using the getURL script to simply navigate to another html page works perfectly.
I have a swf loading an external SWF which is a video player. The video player loads fine into the SWF, but if I hit full screen it goes full screen but I cant see anything. Its all black. I can still see the "hit escape to exit" bubble thing.If I embed the video player by itself(ie. ISNT loaded into a swf) the full screen function works fine.
I am working in CS4, but using as2 as the publish setting since the swf I need to load in was previously done in as2.I have an interface that I am loading a logo.swf into. This logo has animation that works properly both in test and in the browser. There is, however, a function in the logo.swf that is not working.
When I test with the IDE this is clickable within the interface, but when I view via the webpage it is not. AllowScriptAccess was set to sameDomain, but I have also tried that set to always.
If I run the site locally on a web server, it works fine. BUT, when I upload to my hosted server, it stops working.I have an SWF that loads another SWF, using a relative path and as I said, this works perfectly well until I upload it.Any ideas anyone.. has anyone had a similar problem. Am using Actionscript 3 and publishing to Flash Player 10. Just so you know
