I'm trying to call an external API which returns XML, and i have no problem doing that.
Afterwards I wanted to refactor my code, and I moved my API call to an external API.as class, but how do i return the XML to my main class?[code]...
I have a Main.fla which loads Main.as as its document class. In Main.as I have a public function named "Main" which runs a trace. I also have another .as file called Preloader.as, which also has a public function in it, this one named "Preloader" with simple trace in it. I just cannot figure out how to use Preloader() from the Preloader class in Main() from the Main class. Main.as loads up fine when the SWF loads and traces.
View 10 RepliesI'm trying to create a new instance of a MovieClip when the original one has been used. Would sound easy enough. Just use: var
instanceName:ClassName = new ClassName();
the class name/mc in the library im trying to duplicate is MCg1 so
var instanceName:MCg1 = new MCg1(); right?
However, the particular object in the library i'm trying to duplicate has a base class that is an external class file (just to control it's drag drop functionality)... i.e baseclass is not set to the standard flash.display.MovieClip, or whatever the case maybe. So i end out with a: TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
I am trying to access a function in a loaded swf that has external class.. I would like to avoid having to put the function on my "Main" Doc class in the external swf and instead access the function directly from the class
This is what ive tried so far and it's a no dice:
private function startLoad(){
var loader:Loader = new Loader();
var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest("one.swf");

Lets say I have Main.swf and sub.swf, and I wanna load sub when I press a button from Main, but sub.swf has its own external class file attached, so here is the problem, when I load sub using loader class and I would get this message from the output panel:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
at subScript()
seems loader class can not access sub.swf's external class when sub is being loaded.
I have created an SWFloader class that creates a container on the stage and loads an external swf into it. How can I click a hotspot in the external swf and make it instruct the loader class to load a new external swf? Basically, how can I access the SWFloader class from the timeline of the external swf?

I am creating a Flash form which will include a drop-down selection menu from which a user may choose their state. I originally accomplished this by adding a ComboBox to the stage and then populated the ComboBox's DataProvider object with an XML listing of all the state names and the corresponding values. Everything works as expected.I have decided, however, that it would make the most sense to create an external class to accomplish the same thing. I have attempted to create such a class using the following code:
package {
import fl.data.DataProvider;
import fl.controls.ComboBox;[code]....
I am new to creating external class files so I am not sure why the new object is not populated with any data.
I found some code that let's you load variables from an external swf. I'm trying to adapt it so that I can use the symbols from external swf library in my main swf. I get an error telling me 'call to an undefined method...' and then the name of the symbol I am trying to import to the main swf (testMe123_MC). Here's the code of my external swf as:
[Code]...
package
{
public class TimeDate

For my Flash class, my professor is making us create a four room "adventure game" created entirely in an external class with ActionScript. I know how to get things set up,
View 1 RepliesI was chatting with my buddy about this, he is convinced you can do this and says he has done it, but I cannot get this to work.
I am wondering if it is even possible at all. I tried typing a var as a Class that is within the externally downloaded SWF and then making an instance but no can do.
some code
private static function onCompleteHandler(e:Event)
{
dashboardObject = e.target.content;
// registerClassAlias("Dashboard", ); doesnt work
[Code]....
So it seems you cannot make an instance of a class unless it is complied within the project SWF. Which if true is what I want it to do. I do not want people trying to make instances of my classes just from downloading the SWF file for what I am building here.

How do we create a class file and use it in seperate flash file

I have encountered a problem loading an external swf in my application. The external swf file is using a class and when I load it in my other flash it didnt load I think the class have a problem!!. I use the flash.system.ApplicationDomain and LoaderContext. It didn't have no effect in the my flash program.
View 0 RepliesAm new to classes and as3, just starting to ge the hang of it, but i not fully, so here is some Q's.Fist of i have a Document class, from it i want to call a function in a separate as file. the only way i know of is to, do an import and then instantiate or go static on it's tookus?
But now i got my hands of some pice of code, that uses separate class files without any trace of import, how do they do this?Also if i want to be able to use all the functions from a separate as file in my document class, just like i do if i extends it, but without extending int, how do we do this? do i always need to go ClassName.function() ? or can we do it like in C++
"using ClassName"
//ClassName.function();
function();?
I'm trying to load an external swf that's controlled by an xml file as I have loaded other swfs, but I get an error saying that it can't locate the class of the swf that I'm trying to load, and now it wont display an error, but it still wont open.Here's the code that I'm using to load this file:
function Main2(fla:MovieClip,m:MovieClip)
{
var newSWFRequest=new URLRequest(event.target.name + ".swf");
loader2.load(newSWFRequest);
[code]....
how to load this file in as3 and if you can please tell me how to add/remove & edit buttons in this swf.
I have two SWF files loader.swf and external.swf, external.swf is sitting on a remote server and I load it up from loader.swf using MovieClipLoader. external.swf includes a class definition for SomeClass by including a .as file, which also sits on the remote server. External.swf defines a method that returns an instance of SomeClass.
Once I've loaded up external.swf via loader.swf I can call the function that returns an instance of SomeClass. The problem is that laoder.swf seems to require a local copy of the as fiel that defines the class, rather than being able to receive the information it needs from external.swf, I really need to keep this class definition on the remote server, and not have a copy of it locally. Is thre any way I can encapsulate this within external.swf? I'm free to cahnge whatever I like.
I have a file structure similar to the following:
LoadingSWF
LoadingSWFDocClass
ContentSWF
ContentSWFDocClass
In my ContentSWFDocClass I reference library elements that were "exported for actionscript", so they only exist in the ContentSWF. The ContentSWF compiles fine because my ContentSWFDocClass can find all the resources in the library....
The problem is that I need my LoadingSWFDocClass to talk to my ContentSWFDocClass. However, when I try to include a variable (or make any reference to something) of type ContentSWFDocClass in my LoadingSWFDocClass I get a compile error because the compiler doesn't recognize the library symbols that ContentSWFDocClass is referencing.
How can I get around this? I really need to reference elements in the library in my ContentSWFDocClass, and I also really need to be able to send commands from my LoadingSWFDocClass to my ContentSWFDocClass.
So I have a class that reads from an external XML file, and it works great. (uses RLRequest and complete event listener)I have functions in it to read certain parts of the file.Im trying to create a new instance of that class in my document class. I am able to do this, BUT because the XML class loads the file, and uses a complete event listener to load it, anything I try to access (var or function) come up blank because it fires before the file is done being loaded.Id like to be able to do something like this.
Code:
var prefs:XMLClass = new XMLClass();
var localcolor:uint = prefs.color; (access the public variable color)

I've a website in which i have a menu that handle some external swf.My Problem is that when i've clicked on one section of the website and then i click on another menu button to gain access on another section i wanna to make an "go out transition" for the current loaded section. This transtion must be different for every website section, so for this i'm going to create a "go out transition" in every external swf class that i have for every section.Now my question is: How can i access from the main class to every single classes of the section to obtain the properly "go out transition" ?
View 9 Repliesso from using both my Actionscript 3 Bible and a friendly tutorial here on Kirupa... and another online, I attempted to create a class to load an .swf. I worked through the Kirupa tutorial, and it worked, but I wanted it to be in a class! This is where the problems come, when I run it, I get no errors, the bar flashes as if it's full, and it loads the content. When I try to simulate download however, the screen stays white and I receive an error
"Error #2044: Unhandled IOErrorEvent:. text=Error #2036: Load Never Completed."
I have a flash rotating banner script that I purchased, and wish to incorporate into my homepage. Instead of creating a page with HTML and adding the banner code as a separate object on the page, I wish to load it as an external swf into a movieclip on my stage. This is what the banner looks like:

However when I test it, the images load off to the right hand side of the screen, not centered in the movie clip like I want...
I'm trying to wrap my head around AS3 and it isn't going well. I'm getting stuck on the most basic of problems it's making me pretty angry.

My flash application has lots of resources which will change all the time. In order to keep the the user from having to download my main .swf file over and over again, and in order to keep the main file's size low, I would like to put the resources into separate .swf files and load them dynamically from a url using a Loader.
Once downloaded I would like to extract the classes that are in the resource swf and use them in the main swf. Can anyone share some code for doing this? Note that I am not just interested in using a symbol from the resource swf. I would like to use a class, with all of its methods and everything, and my main swf does not contain the class definition. Only the resource swf does.
