Actionscript 2.0 :: Referencing Sharedobject From Another Movie?
Aug 18, 2009
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

It's me again and I'm running into a problem. So, I have this movie clip that is nested inside multiple movie clips. I want to tell Flash to perform an action when that movie clip hits another movie clip in the main timeline. It's just collision detection for a game using the hitTestObject code. I was thinking of using MovieClip(root), but that won't work since it's nested so much.

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 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 my main flash, named "front page". Inside of it, I have 2 movie objects that have a time line, one named "About Us", and another named "Button Group". Inside of "Button Group," I've made a drop down menu that can go to a frame on the main page (in "front page") using the _root command. I was wondering if I could go from the front page into the other movie object ("About Us") by going through the main page.
Tl;dr, I'd like to know how to go to the parent of a movie clip and into another movie clip to modify where the time line is.

Main.swf has a button which loads Movie.swf into a movie clip 'contents' (as shown in the tutorials). 'contents' is directly over the button, so when you move your mouse in Movie.swf, it still detects the button in Main.swf.I need to know how to make Movie.swf use Main.swf button so that I can disable it while Movie.swf is open, and enable it when Movie.swf is closed.So far my code is 'blank'.MyButton.enable=false;with 'blank' being main.swf. I tried _root, _parent, etc.., but nothing worked.

I have a main movie that has a sidebar. The sidebar is it's own movieclip that contains two frames because it has two tabs on it. I would like to reference a dynamic text field that is contained in the second frame of the sidebar movieclip. When I try to do so, I receive the following error:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
at XMLTest_fla::MainTimeline/LoadXML()
at flash.events::EventDispatcher/dispatchEventFunction()

Is there a way to reference an item in the second frame of a movieclip?

I have been using this line of code to fade in a movie clip:
new Tween(background_mc, "_alpha", None.easeNone, 0, 100, .5, true);
Now, I want to accomplish the same thing, only this time by using an element from an array (bg_array[currentSlideNumber]) that stores the instance name "background_mc"
I've tried the following, but it doesn't work:
new Tween(bg_array[currentSlideNumber], "_alpha", None.easeNone, 0, 100, .5, true);

I'm developing a Hygrometer in Flash CS4. The Hygrometer is a Movie Clip currently on the stage with 16 Movie Clips inside with instance names like segment01_mc, segment02_mc.. segment16_mc. I'm trying to make a class for the Hygrometer MC and I need to access the "segment" MC's. But I can't find a solution.
Is there any way to reference the "segment" movie clips? How can I assign instance names to the "segment" movie clips?

Maybe someone can shed some light on this issue for me. I have a main movie clip, call it Main, that loads external swf files during run time. One of these loaded swfs, or movie clip is called FOB. Inside FOB is another movie clip with a variable name of contentText. What I want to do is to adjust the x location of contentText from the Main movie clip.
Inside the Main movie clip I have this (entire code):
ActionScript Code:
//CREATE MOVIE CLIP CONTAINER
this.createEmptyMovieClip("FOB", _root.getNextHighestDepth());
this.createEmptyMovieClip("PirateClub", _root.getNextHighestDepth());

I've created a tsunami menu made up of duplicated menu items. Each menu item should have a rollover and selected state of 240% which works fine. When a menu item has been selected it jumps to another frame but until the user interacts with it it should loop through the different categories.My problem is that I can't get the menu items to scale big while it is looping through the different categories on the matching category frames.

I'm having trouble referencing variables in a loaded movie. I read in other posts that you simply refer to the variable as if it belongs to the clip you load it into, however this doesn't seem to be working for me

[URL]I am using a flash movie I crated as a menu, outside of the website the movie works exactly as I want and the push pin follows and stays on the last "button" clicked. However when using this movie on my html site since the flash menu gets refreshed the push pin goes back to where I have it starting by default.Is there any way to reference which html page I am currently on instead of the current button in AS3?Code looks something like this...
var currentPage:SimpleButton = home_btn;
tack_mc.x = home_btn.x;
tack_mc.y = home_btn.y;

I have a simple horizontal scrolling gallery of 24 thumbnails in Flash, the thumbnail images are loaded into the boxes using actionscript. I would like each thumbnail to link to a html page of my choice. There is a movie clip instance called panel with the 24 buttons inside it and on the first button as a test I've placed the following action script:
on (release) {
getURL("team.html","_self");
}
When testing this movie from within Flash (CTRL, ENT) the button links to the html file (which is in the same folder as the SWF) with no problem. The problem is when I preview the page in a browser and try to click on the first button nothing is happening. I've tried it in both IE7 and Firefox with the same result.
The flash thumbnail clip is placed as a flash object into a html page using dreamweaver.
I'm sure this is something simple such as navigating the timeline but I've tried a few things like _root. but still no joy.

I'm using Flash 8.
I've made 18 movies in a for loop. I'm trying to modify a text field in those movies. I am unable to do so in the for loop. Something with my referencing is wrong.
The dynamic text field in each movie is named "eventText".
ActionScript Code:
_root.attachMovie(myData["loadHandler"+x]+"Movie", myData["event"+x], x, {_x:100, _y:100});
_root.myData["event"+x].eventText.text = "test";
If I hardcode the event name for testing purposes, it puts the data in correctly:
ActionScript Code:
_root.houseSale2.eventText.text = "test";

I'm loading an external SWF("slides.swf") into a AS3 UILoader component on the main stage with an instance name of "loadWindow" when the user clicks a button.I'm also monitoring "slides.swf" loading with preloader script. When the movie in the UILoader is completely loaded, I want to advance it (the movie within the UILoader) to the next frame. In AS2 it was easy to reference a swf loaded into a movie clip... the nested movie's root took the place of the MC's timeline.
stop();
load_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, loadFile);
function loadFile(e:Event):void {

I have created a movie clip with the following path to a dynamic text field:
_root.i_lotteryball1.i_ballstrip.i_text.d_text1.text = _global.text1;
I have then duplicated the 'i_lotteryball1' movie clip, and called it 'i_lotteryball2'.When I try:
_root.i_lotteryball2.i_ballstrip.i_text.d_text1.text = _global.text2;
It changes the text in 'i_lotteryball1' text field aswell as 'i_lotteryball2' text field with the value of '_global.text2' How can I update each text field with different values.When I try to change the instance name of the text field inside 'i_lotteryball2' to 'd_text2', it changes the 'i_lotteryball1' text field instance name aswell to 'd_text2'!
My objective:
_root.i_lotteryball1.i_ballstrip.i_text.d_text1.text = _global.text1;
_root.i_lotteryball2.i_ballstrip.i_text.d_text2.text = _global.text1;

I have searched all of the engines to find out why my SharedObject code is not working. It works when I publish from flash but not when live? I have this code in the first frame and the movie starts on the second. I only want the user to have to view the swf every other time they land on the page containing the movie. I am using AS2.
var replay = SharedObject.getLocal("save");
if (replay.data.name == undefined){

I have a slideshow that everytime you press a button show a new slide. Every slide is an external swf's that is being loaded in to the main swf. Inside every external swf there is a button that redirects you to another web page.What i would like to do is use SharedObject (or something like it) to remember wich external swf that was last shown when the user pressed the button redirecting them to an other page.How do i set the SharedObject in the external swf and then read it from the main swf?

According to the AS3 API the 'name' parameter in the 'getlocal' method is actually the name of the object. I have a bit of diffculty understanding this. Have alook at the following code:
[Code]...
If I were to access the attributes or methods of the shared object, can I use the 'name' instead of the variable, since the name is the 'name of the shared object'?
If the following code were used:
[Code]...
Why am I getting this error, if 'UserName' is the name of the shared object, than why can't I use it to refer to it's methods and other attributes? What is the meaning of it being a 'name' than?

I am working on a project that uses SharedObject and I have a question. I've made a button that downloads a flash screensaver and at the same time also creates a SharedObject which stores a specific id for each screensaver being downloaded. When later the screensaver is installed and run, it should get the SharedObject and read the id from it. When tested locally it works perfect since both the buttons´ and the screensavers´Sharedobject are stored in the same localPath. But when the button is online and the screensaver is local the SharedObject paths don't match.
Is there a way to solve this and make the local screensaver swf read the SharedObject from the same path as the online download button has stored it's SharedObject in?
This is the relevant code in both my swfs:
var _mySo:SharedObject = SharedObject.getLocal("name", "/");
If this won't work, does anybody have another solution to my remote to local screensaver thingy??
