I have three Class files: Main, Sub, XMLLoad.
XMLLoad is a simple XML loader Class.
Main calls the XMLLoad.
Main also loads Sub as a navigation.
I want to access the xmlData that XMLLoad loads. How do I go about that?
Code: Select allpublic function Main()[code].........
I have a SWF called Application.swf that loads another SWF called jeu.swf. My main class (don't know how to call it haha), is called Main.as. Another class is called actionObjets.as. When I call:
dispatchEvent(new MicroJeuEvent(MicroJeuEvent.JEU_TERMINE, 8, ""));
It works perfectly from Main.as, it works perfectly.
But when I call it from actionObjets, it doesn't work. No error either. I tried putting this line in a static function, doesn't work either. Why can I dispatch an Event from my main class and not from another one? I'm not a programmer and I just don't get a few of the basic principles of as3. Is there a way of doing differently?
Is there a mechanism by which an AIR application can manually display in whichever monitor I choose? I can look at the display list in Screen.screens, but I'm unclear on how to actually force the drawing of the app into one of those.
View 1 RepliesEverything was going fine on a website project I've been working on, until yesterday. I'll try to explain the whole scenario first, and I'll put the code in here too so anyone can try to figure out what is wrong. Here's the breakdown of the site:
1) There is a MAIN SWF file that plays an intro and then stops on the last frame with the "Main" Navigation buttons.
2) Inside the Root folder where the MAIN SWF resides, there is another folder called "swfs" which contains six main external navigation pages, as well as another folder called "galleries" which contains additional external swf files for six gallery pages.
3) On one of the layers of the MAIN SWF, there is a movie clip called "mySWFLoadingClip" that the "Main" Navigation buttons load and unload the main swf pages onto. These all work perfectly. The problem start on the next step. This is the code I used for the navigation buttons on the MAIN SWF timeline:
var Xpos:Number = 0.0;
var Ypos:Number = 0.0;
var swf:MovieClip;
var loader:Loader = new Loader();
var defaultSWF:URLRequest = new URLRequest("swfs/home_page_swf.swf");
[Code] .....
4) One of the external navigation SWF pages is called "portfolio_page_swf" and gets loaded into the "mySWFLoadingClip" moveclip on the MAIN SWF. This is where the problem begins. The "portfolio_page_swf" has six buttons that call out to an additional external swf from the galleries folder. Now when I open the "portfolio_page_swf" file to test out if the buttons work, they work perfect. When I click the buttons, the external swf gallery files show up like they should. But the problem is that when I open the "MAIN SWF" file to test out the site, I can click the Main Navigation buttons and they work. I click on the Portfolio button on the Main SWF time line, and it places the "portfolio_page_swf" onto the stage like it should, but when I click the buttons that are within the "portfolio_page_swf" the galleries don't show up. The buttons from the "portfolio_page_swf" page only work if I open the "portfolio_page_swf" file directly.
Here is the code that is used in the "portfolio_page_swf":
var Xpos:Number= 0.0;
var Ypos:Number = 0.0;
var swf:MovieClip;
var loader:Loader = new Loader();
var defaultSWF:URLRequest = new URLRequest("galleries/gallery_print_swf.swf");

How to load an External SWF onto the main time line and then load an additional external swf from within the first external swf.
I'm currently working on a project where I mix animation sequences with short videos. My project also has two scenes and the FLV will be placed on the main time line of the second scene. The problem I am having is, if the movie is previewed from the first scene, or exported, the FLV on scene 2 won't load. the timeline on the playhead will just spin. I'm currently using "Load external video with playback component" as the method for importing the flv file.I have already worked with this video multiple times in other flash files and have never had a problem loading the video. Is there a limitation to FLV playback in multiple scene movies?
View 5 RepliesDoes anyone know of a way to get Flash CS5 for Windows to preview an animation in a secondary browser?
Dreamweaver CS5 lets you specify a browser as a secondary browser -- pressing Ctrl+F12 launches it. In Flash, however, F12 and Ctrl+F12 both launch the primary browser...
I'm having a problem trying to call an specific label or frame in a secondary MC.
-There is a main time line (120 frames) with an Intro animation stop in frame 103.
-There is 2 buttons in frame 103 (b1,b2). On release this buttons play 104 and stop in the last frame of the main time line (120).
-In the frame 120 these 2 buttons fade and an MC called navmenu and an empty mc (to load external flash) appear
-MC navmenu is the main menu with 6 frames, one for each button.
I'm trying that when I click on b1, it play 104 go to the end of the main time line, and call frame 3 on navmenu MC, plus load movie on empty MC.[code]...
I have a line chart with a column chart as a secondary series. When I roll over the line, the datatips appear. However, if I move the mouse to a spot where a column appears while still on the line, the data tip item appears for the line AND the column. How do I get it so that I only show datatips for the line but not the column?

I have a main flash movie, that launches an external swf. Now this works fine, but this external SWF, launches more external mini SWFs. What happens is that after going opening and closing these mini swfs, is that eventually the main swf, will start to to run beneath the the 1st external swf. i.e. I have a small animation that is suppose to stop and remain invisible until the secondary swf is closed.
But this is not the case, and very randomly this will start to happen, and it makes everything look like crap. At first I thought it was the fonts that I was using through out the swfs, because there were some design changes, but after updating the SWFs with the new embedded font I am still running into this issue.
Look at it like this.
main swf---->2nd swf--->numerous 3rd swfs
why my image won't load when I have it's class referenced from the document class rather that being in the document class?

I found myself loading a new XML file every day and so decided to create a small class that will load the xml file and return it.The class is loading the file but when i try to return it to a new xml object in the document class it doesnt load it.I think that it's something to with the return being in a nested function but i tried a few ways and non seems to work.

loadXML:LoadXML = new LoadXML();
myXML:XML = new XML(loadXML.loadXMLFile("gallery.xml"));[code].....
I need to make a video page. i used a flash player and implemented the videos on the pages. now my client needs that, the same page have to work with ipads, i know that we have to use html5 video player for that.
My question is in case eventhough html5 video supportable player available that should play the flash content first. in case it will not run the flash player then it should run the html5.
I have an array of three values.focal[x,y,z]these values change based on user input.however when the change occurs, they are logged into a new array to test for valid changed.A simplified psuedo version of my code:[code]However, when the focal[1]++; focal[0]--; ect, ect, code takes place. It also changed the temp array.and since it changes my temp, it never resets me original code back to its previous nature.I have never seen this behavior and its kinda throwin' me off.

I'm trying use the MovieClipLoader class to load up a swf and have it start at a particular frame. Such as:
Code:
var myloader:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
myloader.addListener(this);
myloader.onLoadComplete = function(target:MovieClip) {

The Bold underline text is where I would imagine most of the magic happens. How Would I place the MovieClipLoader into this and have that swf go play that particular frame label?
I'm having some issues with images loading from another class other than the document class.
I currently have two classes: Loader and GamePanel.
I also made a picture into a MovieClip type with a self generated class.
When I use the Loader to construct it :: new someBackground().
And addChild, it appears.
But if I construct the GamePanel class and call the generation of that same background, it does not appear. I'm currently using actionscript 3.
I'm using the tweener class in this file just fine. But whenI try to use the sound manager class I cannot get it to load why?I keep getting type was not found ....

View 2 RepliesI'm trying to build my flex modular app, and got the following scenario
Portal (which includes, 2 modules:)
-Mod1 (.swf)
-Mod2 (.swf)
Also, I have Mod1-API (.swc). The Mod1-API, defines interfaces which are implemented on the Mod1 (.swf). Both the Mod1 and Mod2 swfs import the Mod1-API swc. I'm trying to call the API method on the Mod2. On Mod2 I've the interface, since it is shared via the Mod1-API project. What I'm trying to achieve is the real implementation class loading on Mod2, via reflection, using the getDefinitionByName method, but it says its not defined. How from the mod2 load a class that is on the Mod1 project, returning just the interfacce to the mod2 so it can call methods just like an ordinary API method?

I have an as class :
Code:
package
{
import flash.display.MovieClip;
[Code].....
i have let's say a folder with more than 15 .as files, each of one represents a class that I want to load in another "main" .as file.
Those 15 .as files are NOT used anywhere else and are not loaded in the library so no instance of those classes exist anywhere.
when I try to load one like this
Code: var theHandlerClass:Class = getDefinitionByName(classPath) as Class; var theHandler:XMLNodeHandler = new theHandlerClass() as XMLNodeHandler; where theHandlerClass will be one of the 15 files I mentioned, I get a Variable is not defined error. classPath is defined by the user. All 15+ classes are subclasses of XMLNodeHandler.
The problem is solved if I create 15+ instances of all the different .as files I have inside main.as, or create 15+ objects in library with all the different classpaths in the "export for as" field, but this something I don't want.
How can I somehow deploy all these .as files so the main .as can see the classes, but without creating objects in library, or instances in main.as .
I have lots of images in the library (tile1.png, tile2.png, tile3.png...) each of which are on one frame of my Tile MovieClip. My Tile class which was created when I made the Tile movieclip and pressed export for actionscript also contains some other data such as height, texture, movementCost... et cetera.
I would like to take all the stuff out the library, and load the images from a local folder, have them loaded into my "Tile" class so that when I make a new Tile object and in my main fla file if I write addChild(someTile) it will draw the tile image to screen.
Basically what I am asking is how I can do this:
Create new movieClip (Tile) object and put it in the library
Export the new MovieClip (Tile) for as3, so it gets its own class (Tile.as)
import all my pngs from local folder into the library
put them all on a seperate frame on my new movieclip (Tile)
var myTile:Tile=new Tile();
myTile.gotoAndStop(x);
addChild(myTile);
WITHOUT using the library. I want to be able to do this with only as3 if it's possible.
I have classes witch resides in this package :com.network.interface_as. When I try to load one class from that package in another class in the same package like this:

private var class_A:SomeClass_A;

and in the constructor code, just did:[code]...........
how to actually load the swfs, what i'm really looking for is a way to use addChild to the stage from within my class.
