Actionscript 3.0 :: Trace A String Defined In "main.swf" From An External Swf
May 27, 2009
is it possible to trace/get a variable that's defined in a "main" .swf, from an external SWF that has been loaded onto the "main" SWF?
for example, if i have 2 SWF files called "main.swf" and "sub_page.swf"..
the code in "main.swf" is:
Code: Select all // create and define a variable
var currentInformation:String;
[code]...
i tried putting "Object(root)" before "currentInformation" and it still wont work...

I have created a variable that when defined as String can end up containing what I need. It just doesnt do what I need it to do.So I can trace out a1Tap=containa1_ mc.square_ mc. saysquare_btn.That is what I want a1Tap to contain but it isn;t the right kind of data.[code]How do I set up and use the a1Tap variable so that a) it contains containa1_ mc. square_ mc.saysquare_btn (as it currently does)in a way that it work as a path name for an event listener?

Ive got a flash file linking to a FMS, its just going to be a little game, all connects fine and I have a chat client working through this. My problem is when i come to use classes to import movieclips ect...
When i set the main Class name in the properties menu and play the swf, NetStatusEvent and SyncEvent are give me the following error...
1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant
If i remove the main Class name the swf connects to the server fine, or if i remove the code for the connection to the server and play the swf my movieclip attaches and behaves as the class files intended.
i may be doing a fundamental error here but i really cant see it and its annoying with the 2 aspects running independently but not together.

I've got a string which, in run-time, contains the name of a class that I want to instantiate. I read suggestions to use
flash.utils.getDefinitionByName():
var myClass:Class = getDefinitionByName("package.className") as Class;
var myInstance:* = new myClass();
However, that gives me the following error:
[Fault] exception, information=ReferenceError: Error #1065: Variable className is not defined.

I have a main time line and a button defined. Can I define functions in actionscript anywhere and call them from anywhere? For example, if I call a function in main timeline and it's defined in the button, does that work?

In my FLA file (FLASH-8, AS-2)? in the library I have a movieclip named "mc" which is just one frame and in it specifies a property "price" like this: this.price="three";
In the main scene I have this code:
attachMovie("mc","t1",1)
t1.onPress=function(){trace(t1.price)}; //returns the correct value "three"
trace(t1.price); //returns "undefined"
Why the first trace(t1.price) returns the correct value and the second one returns "undefined"?And how do I make this property available without using onPress? The objective is to output the pictures of a set of movieclips and place the price of each picture under it using a dynamic textfield

I just started using flashdevelop and I have some problems with importing all classes.
1. I used export all classes to SWC file and I added it to the library in FD. How can I import instances placed on the stage without creating AS linkages? I don't want to export these instances for AS, because some of them are textfields. By making linkages I'm forced to transform them to Sprite or MovieClip (am I right?) and my methods connected to these object don't work anymore.
2. When I export my project in FD, I get error 1065: variable Main is not defined. Main is my document class. I made this class my entry in FD.

I'm familiar with AS2 and just now beginning AS3. I have a main or root SWF that will call other SWFs. In the past I would put them on levels but now I know with AS3 that isn't so. I will only load one swf at a time. Each will replace the other. I'm using addChild and it seems to work.I really want the Stage SWF to check inside the added child SWF for a String. What is the correct syntax for that in AS3. I have done many attempts but nothing. The last trace I ran was:trace(MovieClip(clipLoader.content)); and that gave me [object MainTimeline]. FYI - The string is "BtnName".[code]

I am learning actionscript, and right now I am trying to trace the first character of a string I've declared.
Code:
var myString:String = "Informationsvidenskab";
trace(myString.charAt(i:myString=1):String;
My flashbuilder debug says:
Multiple markers at this line:
-String
-1084: Syntax error: expecting rightparen before colon.

I'm not sure if this is at all possible, but I've been trying this for hours with no prevale. I can only presume I'm over complicating things.
I've generated a awkward looking string using variables, and arrays:
Code:
var someVar:string = "hello";
var myArray:Array = new Array("test0", "test1", "test2");
var myString:string = someVar+"World_"+myArray[2]);

I have a button on the main timeline that works fine, part of the code in the button:
for (b=1; b< dpth; b++) {
var lineMovedx = _root["Line"+b]._x;
_root["Line"+b]._x = lineMovedx-9000
trace(_root["Line"+b]);
It basically moves stuff a person draws off the screen when the button is pushed, there is another button that brings it back. But when I put that same button in a movieclip on the main timeline and change the code to this:
for (b=1; b< dpth; b++) {
var lineMovedx = _root._root["Line"+b]._x;
_root._root["Line"+b]._x = lineMovedx-9000
trace(_root._root["Line"+b]);
It no longer works and the trace shows no output, it basically loses it completely, I can't figure out why it does not work, it seems so simple.

For the life of me I can't figure out how to trace out the current label in my movie's main timeline. This is in AS3. I have a button on stage that spans the timeline of the movie. It detects keypresses. I want to trace the current frame label that the play head is on.
[Code].....
I get "_level0" for this...and undefined for the rest. What am I doing wrong here?

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 flashmovie thats almost done and will soon hit the internet, but I want to add some animations into the website it�s two gears that I�m about to put at the bottom of the page and when a button releases in the main flashmovie the two bottom gears will turn a few frames and just stand still.These three movies are all separate (main movie, first gear and second gear).
It's a homepage designed in HTML and flash that has this "main flashmovie" in the middle of the screen, the size is about 1500(width)X800(height). And the gears is about 800wX200h placed at the left and right side bottom of the page. Dont worry the site is easy to apply to any screen resolution.I have been looking everywhere for any soul out there who suffering from the same problem but no success. Is it possible to script a button in the main movie to launch two separate movies in their own contents?

I am using flex builder 3.2, Action Script 3 and develop for Flash Player 10 and am quite new to it. when I call a method of a self defined class, I get the 1061 error (not defined). But the class and the method exist and are public, so what the hell am I doing wrong? Flash Builder is even offering me this method in the auto-completion, so at least the builder knows it... I have already tried cleaning the project (as this is the common source of strange errors when working with java/eclipse),
edit: solved... The problem was that a package had the same name as the variable I used for the class. Very strange error message, thumbs down for this .

I have a very general requirement that seemed very simple: Step 1: Load a new external JPEG image into a MC with a string var encoding a string caption in the URL link (VALUE="../fadeTest.swf?someTextVar=TestCaption") within the EMBED / OBJECT sections. I know how to do this and it semed to work fine. STEP2: When the JPEG is loaded I would like the substituted Text to Fade In over the JPEG. The JPEG should also fade in before the Text. The fade rate should be programmable.

I am loading the external movie, "1.swf" into my main stage. Is there a way that once "1.swf" has loaded, I can trace its timeline and when the playhead reaches the last frame, trigger an action? (load "2.swf").
"1.swf" was created by a 3rd party and I do not have the source files, so I have no way of adding actionscipt to it.

I have created a main "site.swf" file that loads a "default.swf" file into a container after a preloader. On this default.swf file I have buttons that needs to load new external SWF files in its place in the container. All of the external SWFs contain buttons and navigations that will also call up other external SWFs into this container. So, I would like to know how to program each button (some are movieclips as buttons) to unload itself and load the respective SWF into the container (eg. AboutUsButton to call up aboutus.swf into the container). I do not have a main navigation on the site.swf file bacause the navigation changes on each SWF that needs to be loaded into the container.

I am trying to get a nav button in one movie (main_nav.swf) to target a my main movie (index.swf) and load a sub nav movie (metals_subnav_infinite.swf) into it. The sub nav movie will do a similar task - loading a portfolio swf into main movie (index.swf). Here is the file breakdown of my working files:index.swf - main final movie which loads "main_nav_infinite3.swf" on startmain_nav_infinite3.swf - loads main nav "main_nav.swf" and scrolls it infinitely (infinite menu)main_nav.swf - main nav with buttons that trigger sub nav "metals_subnav_infinite.swf" to load into index.swfmetals_subnav_infinite.swf - loads sub nav "metals_subnav.swf" and scrolls it infinitelymetals_subnav.swf - sub nav with buttons that trigger "folio.swf" (have not created this file yet!) to load into "index.swf"The script I was focusing on is in main_nav.fla and it is:
metals_mc_bn.onRelease = function() {
reActivateMenu();
this.gotoAndStop(3);

I am having issues with a global array. I have an actionscript file called MyGlobal.as at the same level as my main FLA:
[Code]....
I am able to trace that first element while trace is called within the function... but if I try to trace that first element outside of the function it is "undefined". Do I need to return the array at the end of the function? I tried that but I cant seem to get it working correctly.

I've been playing with prototype a bit and I've noticed that either it isn't as static as it should be or that some functions are protected from altering, or that in some cases the prototype actually extends a function. For example, I was trying to modifiy the global trace function to output the current time of a trace action, something like this :
Code:trace("lulu"); // output 12:48:17.286 lulu I DID achieve something close to it, but it seems that I haven't actually modified the global trace function, but rather it's "_root" counterpart,

I have a navigation bar movieclip that has the following EventListeners in symbol definition:
news_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickHandler);function clickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void { event.target.root.gotoAndStop(1,"newsawards");
categoryName = "news"; <<<DOESNT WORK}
clients_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickHandler2);function clickHandler2(event:MouseEvent):void { event.target.root.gotoAndStop(1,"clients");}
[Code]...
My question is, how can i cause any of these events to change a string variable in the main timeline? For instance, i would like the news_btn when clicked to change already defined variable located in the main timeline. Also, is there a more elegant way to code the above, i'm new to AS3?
