Actionscript 3.0 :: Reference Break When Load The Main .SWF Of The Gallery Into Another .SWF Within The Base Directory
Nov 20, 2009
I'm having issues with references. I'll do my best to explain the problem simply. I have a website I'm currently working on in flash. I've created the base of the site and most of its content. It functions fine. I went online and found a decent looking gallery that I wanted to incorporate into the site and it works great also. The gallery is in its own directory.
When I try and load the main .SWF of the gallery into another .SWF within the base directory, the references break. I understand that this is because its being pulled and the gallery's .SWF looks for its assets based on where its located. Is there anyway possible to make a .SWF keep its paths relative to where it is pulled from instead of changing when it is pulled into another .SWF from different directories?

When I have a class linked to a MovieClip in my library and that class takes an argument in its constructor method. That class will compile properly ONLY when it's located in my top-level directory (same dir as the .fla and Document.as files). If I move that class to a deeper directory, say com.place, and update the package statement and symbol link appropriately, the compiler will generate error "1136: Incorrect number of arguments. Expected 0."Create flash project and put a rectangle on the stage. Covert it to symbol and assign it to class TestPanel - or whatever you choose. Also configure the fla so that is uses a Document (Main) class.Create Main.as and TestPanel.as in the same folder. In the Main class, instantiate a instance of TestPanel and add it to the stage. Flash will, predictably, add the rectangle symbol and everything is fine.Now modify TestPanel so that its constructor method takes a Number and have Main.as pass some number to TestPanel.[code]You now get the error: 1136: Incorrect number of arguments.Expected 0.When I move the TestPanel.as into a deeper directory, Flash somehow is looking elsewhere for the base class for Symbol, even though I'm mapping that Symbol to com.place.TestPanel.

have a question about loading new photos into a already populated image gallery.So I have my gallery set up so first loads my stage pics. What I would now like to do is load different set of images via the click of a button.So for example the loaded gallery already has all thumbs loaded and the user can click on them to view the full size image. next instead of the user having to close this gallery to allow a new gallery to open with a different set of pictures I would like to have a button. This button will unload the existing thumbs from the gallery and load in new ones.

I want to load the image gallery into my main movie.I have tried using the Loader component so that I can place the gallery in the middle of the main movie but the gallery just doesn't load correctly! I want it to load inside the Loader box in the middle of the page but it kicks the images out to the edge of the main movie.I suspect I need to edit the AS of the gallery.fla to specify the width of the SWF gallery inside the Loader, so I can send that to you via email - can't post it here cos its too long.

Flash CS5 is the first version I've used since 8 Pro, so I'm new to the IK tool and adding bones to clips/shapes. I'm experiencing problems when saving/loading files that have armatures in them. I have made several characters now with bones attached to their limbs, which are shapes (not symbols) each on their own layer. At first the animations seem to work fine, and I can export a test SWF with no trouble showing the animation as it should be.
However, returning to the FLA after saving and closing it produces some unusual effects. For example, the shapes will disappear from the stage/clip and the only way I've found to get them to reappear is to select them via the timeline or their (barely visible) pivot point, then deselect them, then undo these actions and for some reason they appear again! More worryingly, sometimes the armatures will take on shapes from different layers, meaning, for example, I end up having figures with two right arms, even though the limbs and their corresponding shapes/armatures are on completely different layers. I have not found a way to undo this, so I have to start some of the limbs from scratch, then make sure I've published/exported all the necessary files before I need to close! m experiencing problems when saving/loading files that have armatures in them.

Is it possible for flash to access data from outside of the root directory of the server it resides.i.e.
Root directory = /var/www/httpdocs
SWF = /var/www/httpdocs/flash/file.swf
XML = /var/www/xml/file.xml

Anyway what im trying to achieve is - AS reads a directory on a server lets say, it contains 10 images, this would create movie clips for each one and assign them to array "pockets"(im not sure if you can do this in AS, you can in PHP and JS so I'd expect so) then I'd use a repetitive function to manipulate each one of those images.

I have this function that loads an specific .log file:
function loadTracks():void {
tracksLoader.load(new URLRequest("/Users/Me/127.0.0.1,"+_logNum+".log"));
}
The logNum variable gets its value, writing it by hand in a separate text file, avoiding to open and editing the .fla each time the new .log has a different name:
logNumLoader.load(new URLRequest("/Users/Me/trackLogNum.txt"));
Some application creates in each session a new .log file with this file name pattern: 127.0.0.1,NUMBER.log // Being NUMBER the 5 digit changing part of the name, each time a new .log file is created. The newer the file, the higher this value is. how to make this script to autoload the last .log file, as it has the highest value in its name.

I've looked at FileReferenceList and see how to get a list of files from the user's computer. This should work OK for my needs, but what I'd really like to do is have the user drag a directory from their desktop onto the app and iterate through the files. Is this possible or is FileReferenceList the best/only option?

i want to know weather it is possible to control the music in a base movie when different movies load into it using load movie. it can done manually by using a volume slider. but is there any way to controll it using action script??Suppose "start.swf" is a base movie with a music (xyz.mp3, event sound, 50 loops) in which different movies load in defferent levels. I want to controll the sound volumes differently when each movie loads & plays.
like when "one.swf" loads the volume = 50,
"two.swf" loads the volume = 0

I would like to select a specific xml file to load from a local directory. The file name is composed of "Title" + "number sequence". I know the Title (in this case its XLink07), but I need to select the latest number sequence or the latest by date stamp.
For example, the local directory has the following files:
XLink01[36735298100].xml
XLink02[36735298100].xml
XLink02[36735298101].xml
XLink07[36735298100].xml
XLink07[36735298101].xml
In this example I need to select file XLink07[XXXXXXXXXXX].xml where XXXXXXXXXXX is the highest number within the XLink07[XXXXXXXXXXX].xml files. Title is Xlink07 and function should return Number sequence [36735298101]. Files with higher number sequence have later date stamps than files with lower number sequences. I need to select the highest number or the latest date stamp for the file that begins with XLink07.
My action script to load the local .xml file without any function to select the correct file is:
Security.allowDomain("*", "*")
var xmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
xmlLoader.load(new URLRequest("XLink07[36735298101].xml"));
xmlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, showXML);
function showXML(e:Event):void {

var targetBase:uint = 60;

Works well. But how do I get the base60 string back into a base10 int?

Its been a while since i touched flash, which is funny considering i started my web/development career here.Anyway, in PHP there is a nice little function called base_convert (http:url....) which will take any number in any base (e.g. base 10, decimal) and convert it to any base (e.g. base 16, hex).So base_convert (15, 10, 16) will output F, which is convenient.I am wondering, as i cannot seem to find, if there is any similar function in actionscript. I am trying to convert from base 10 to 16 and then base 16 to 36.

I am positioning a movie clip within a movieclip, so obviously when I say for example:
ActionScript Code:
photo_mc.picture.x = 0;
photo_mc.picture.y = 0;
It positions the picture movie clip with in the reference of the photo_mc clip, and not the main stage. How can I reference it to the main stage (0,0)? - because the photo_mc moves around randomly, so to compensate would be pointless!

I have a simple problem that I've been working on for hours, trying to go through trial and error myself. But here's the problem. I have a function on the main timeline named startClips. Now, I want to call this from from within two movie clips, the other nested inside the other. In other words, I have a movie clip called holder, and inside of a holder, I have a movieclip called homebase. Now, here is all the code I've been trying to use to access the startClips function which is own the main timeline from the movieclip homebase:
MovieClip(root).startClips();
MovieClip(root.root).startClips();
MovieClip(parent.parent).startClips();
this.parent.parent.startClips();
I can't figure this one out. Can I get any assistance.

I'm having to convert an AS2 app to AS3. In the AS2 app I have nested MovieClip in which is a reference to the main timeline (sloppy practice, I know, and now I'm paying for it).
if(_root._currentframe == 3){ ...
which threw an error. I changed it to
if(stage._currentframe == 3){ ...
but it's still throwing an error. The same thing happens when I try to reference a variable defined on the main timeline...
var inPlay:Boolean; //on frame 1 of the main timeline
if(stage.inPlay){ ... // on a frame in a nested clip. This also throws an error.

this is one of those upsurdly basic questions for which google does not work. I have usually dispatched events from my classes and dealt with the user interface in the document class. But now i want to separate all the UI in a separate class, accessible by other classes. have added it as a child to the main/document class, but how do i reference the main class without going through parent.parent shananigans?dit. one more thing i remembered. Some of my UI elements are not programatically added.here is the code i have. i get possibly undefined property error.
package rpflash.ui {
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.display.MovieClip;

Right now I have a library that does something like this:
public class Main extends Sprite{
public function Main():void {
MyLibrary.init(this);
// the rest of your code goes here
}
}
I need the user to do that since I need a reference to the current DisplayObject since I need to access loaderInfo.sharedEvents
Is it possible to get a reference to the displayobject or to the loaderInfo of the movie currently being played (maybe it's a static var of some class?)?
I was thinking on something like. flash.system.ApplicationDomain.currentDomain is there something like.. flash.display.DisplayObject._root?
In AS2 this would be trivial but I'm afraid this may not be possible in AS3 .. and I really need to get rid of that "init" call.
