this is the code i found out on the web to call a function in the parent swf from the loaded child swf.

MovieClip(this.parent.parent).parentFunction();

I have a main MovieClip that creates a new instance of an imported class which is a page in the application. This class tries to call a function on the main MovieClip and it's not finding it. I've done this in the past without any problems with separate swf files and loaders, and with movieclips in a library. I'm at a loss on how to resolve this. Here's what I'm doing (simplified for posting):

I have two child classes ClassA and ClassB both inherit the same base class.
I also have a function that has a parameter which could be an instance of either child classes.
function Test(instance):void //instance is either a ClassA or ClassB instance
{
instance.DoSomething();
}
However, when I run the test, it's always the BaseClass.DoSomething() get called. How can I use the same function (DoSomething()), but call child class function instead of the base class one?
I have a child swf loaded that needs to receive an array that the parent creates in a function. The child swf must be the one to call that function.
View 3 RepliesI am using in AS3 "External Interface ". When I call the JS function that is on the same page as swf everything works fine.
I added a link in the html page to an external JS file, when I move the JS function to the external JS file the website crushes.
I would prefer to have all my JS functions on an external file so I can use them in the future in other project and it also makes it easier for me to update the site.

I have an ActionScript program that I want to access some external JavaScript functions. By external, I mean that the ActionScript/swf aren't going to be loaded via the HTML/JavaScript. Everything I see recommends ExternalInterface, but that seems to imply that your JS loads your swf. Is there a way to call a JavaScript function by URL?

I have a main.swf that loads in an external swf called home.swf. I want to be able to call a function in main.swf's doc class from the loaded swf:
Code:
function loadArtist():void { // my function }
in the main timeline of home.swf I'm calling it this way:
Code:
function timeToGo(m:MouseEvent):void {
trace("button pressed");
MovieClip(this.parent.parent).loadArtist(); }
the home.swf compiles fine but when loaded in the main.swf & the button is pressed i get this error:
TypeError: Error #1006: loadArtist is not a function.
at home_fla::MainTimeline/timeToGo()
It seems that it thinks loadArtist is a property. Ack. I've got 3 objects loaded dynamically using addChildAt(mc, 0) ...
I have one swf and this one load another one inside a MC on the stage.
Code:
function chama_movie(name:String) {
this.mcLoader.removeChild(carregador);
var carregador:Loader = new Loader();

I have an external swf(s) loaded in a main swf container. I am trying to create templates for non-coders. The main swf loads "pages" based on the currentFrame number. i.e. if on frame 12 load "m1_012.swf"I need the function call to the main swf to be dynamic.The variable function call doesn't work in the following code. The last function call does work. How can I "eval" the variable function call?
var parentObj:Object = this.parent.parent.parent;
var tempFrame:Number = parentObj.currentFrame;
var funcName:String = parentObj+"moreInfo_"+tempFrame;

I have a bunch of SWF files that have x amount of frames on them..When it reaches the end, I want to call a function. The problem is I dont have access to the FLA files. I have the total number of frames by doing slideHolder._totalframes which gives me all the frames...The only thing I can think of is doing an interval that checks _currentframe against _totalframes, but I want to know is their another way to do it?

I'm loading from my main page an external js file, with a function.
I have a flash file in the main page invoking the javascript function.
Everything worked very well until when the javascript code was in the main file, but when I moved javascript to an external file the function seems not called anymore.
So... there is no way to move the javascript code to an external file ? Or any other solution ?

I need to call a function in JS that's expecting a JSON object. Can I do this from External Interface? The company's example (after the include file url) in HTML looks like this:
//there's an js include URL earlier//
Shopwithme.Initialize({
"id":"prod1234",
[code]...
But, I need to dictate these vars through Flash. How do I call this function using External Interface?This is my EI code, but I'm obviously off base, since it's not working:
ExternalInterface.call("Shopwithme.Initialize",[{ "id":"prod1234",
"type":"2","URL":"http://www.somelink.com"}]);
What do I need to do to call this javascript?
I'm trying to edit some flash to make an external javascript function call, but with no success. Here's my actionscript 2.0 code:

I've seen lots of examples and I'm mainly confused about the use of ExternalInterface.addCallback. I don't need the javascript to return anything to flash, so is this necessary? For whatever reason, I never see the alert. Does anyone see any problems in my code? Is there some ExternalInterface library I don't have? Also, what's the BEST way to use ExternalInterface (ie; error checking, etc.)
