Does anyone know the best method to trigger a function in the root from a dynamically loaded movieclip (loaded using addchild) using AS3, I understand targeting root is not the best way to do this?
View 2 Replies
I have small issue in as3. I am load "mainmenu.swf" file into "main.swf". through loader class. so now "main.swf" is parent "mainmenu.swf" file children how can call "main.swf " variable & function from "mainmenu.swf" .
View 2 RepliesIf I have function_2 nested inside function_1, how would you call function_2 from another movieclip on the same timeline?MovieClip(parent).function_1().function_2()-I know that's incorrect, but just to illustrate.
View 2 RepliesI'm switching from as2 to as3 and everything was going swimmingly with my new site until i tried to use a _root call to a function on the main timeline by a loaded movieClip that is loaded nested into 2 other movieclips. the movieClip needs to tell the _root when it's done playing so the root knows to load the next one in line through a php call. Everything works except for the _root call. In as3 there's no such thing as root anymore so I figured no big deal, i'll just find out what the new thing is and holy crap wtf! I can't figure this out!! I've read from doing stuff like custom eventLisnters (which i am trying now) and casting the root as a movieClip and then I read this whole crazy tutorial on building an event structure and the proper MVC way of coding and blah blah blah ALL I WANT TO DO is tell the _root that the loaded MC has reached the end of its timeline. Basically if it were as2 i could just go _root.loadNext(); and it would work.how to make a loaded MC talk to the _root timeline and call a funciton from there?
View 19 RepliesI want to use the same movieclip different times (different instances). The only thing that has to change in this movieclip is a string. I tried to solve this creating a variable.To be more concrete, on root timeline i have Code:var RespJpeg:String = "bandlang2.jpg"and inside the movieclip (actually inside a movieclip in a movieclip in a movieclip in a movieclip: 4level nested) i have

loadImage("RespJpeg")

I have a root stage, and a MC that is called from the root stage.Now from that MC, i will called in another MC2, and I wanted to placed the MC in the center of the stage. The reason I could not use normal ADDED_TO_STAGE at MC and define the center is because MC is not place in the exact position of the root stage (as in x, y=0). So if I would target MC2 at MC stage center, it would not be the exact center of the root stage/screen.How can I called the root stage properties rather than adding MC2 into the stage?
View 1 RepliesI need a way to call a function from a function. It's not that hard, I know, but the name of the nested function is a variable passed into the first function. Like in setTimer() and other functions in flash, where you have the name of a variable to call. I'm going to have a lot, so doing some cheap if(funcname == blabla){blabla();} won't work.

I have a Moiveclip in my library exported with the class of Circle. Inside that movieclip I have 3 nested clips, with instance names of arms, feet, eyes. These moviclips are to act as place holders for loaded images and are animated on the timeline.In the Main class I load in an image called image.gif and create a new instance of Circle passing the images to the constructor.I use addChild on the Main class to add the Circle to the stage. Inside of the Circle class I can use addChild and pass the BitmapData image. But I get a null reference when I try to use eyes.addChild but I can add it to the Circles display list with addChild fine.My question is can you add to a nested movieclips display list and if not what would be the best way to set this up?
View 5 RepliesI'm trying to build an API in JS that will perform some operations and then execute the callback that's registered in AS when it's done. Because it's an API, I am just providing a JS method signature for another developer to call in Flash. Thus, the callback name that's registered in the AS part of the code should be a parameter that's passed in to the JS API in order for JS to communicate back to Flash.
For example:
[AS3 code]
ExternalInterface.addCallback("flashCallbackName", processRequest);
ExternalInterface.call("namespace.jsFnToCall", flashCallbackName);
function processRequest(data:String):void {
//do stuff
[Code] .....
Because the definition of the function is in AS, I can't use the window [function name] approach. The only way I can think of is to build the callback in a string and then use the eval() to execute it.

these are a couple of functions within a custom class i'm working on. why in the top function that when i call init() on the loaded swf, it works, but when i call reverseType() and normalType() in the second function, it doesn't work? i get a "TypeError: Error #1006: normalType is not a function." in the debugger. i've made sure those two functions are public in the document class, but nothing seems to work.

I've been working on this extremely annoying problem for over 3 hours!
Alright the basics: A parent movie, and a loaded movie.
Inside the parent movie on a frame where the loaded movie is loaded, are two functions[code]...
I have multiple functions and multiple ways to call them because I'm trying atleast for ONE of them to work! I have twisted this code, changed the functions, and tried so many different ways to debug this problem! And finally, I am showing you my most simplified way of testing this problem.
Normally, when I load my parent movie and once it loads the loaded movie inside it, if I click the button- it should call one of my functions. Then I should see the traced message in my output. Instead- nothing happens.
Can anyone tell me if its possible to call a function or class from within a loaded MC?
mainMovie loads MC > MC calls function in a class of mainMovie
if so, what is the best method?[code]...

View 3 RepliesI have a swf that should be able to load another swf in runtime. Then I would like the loaded swf to call a method of the parent, loader swf, like this:
Code:
parent.closeForm;
But when I compile it, it throws this error:
1119: Access of possibly undefined property closeForm through a reference with static type flash.displayisplayObjectContainer.
I've tried:
Code:
if (parent != stage){
parent.closeForm;
}
So flash won't run this code at compile time, but it always throws that error. Here is the code of the LOADER swf:
Code:
private function loadForm():void {
var loader:Loader = new Loader()
var mRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest(formPath);
loader.load(mRequest);
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onFormCompleteHandler);
[Code] .....
How could I write an expression that should call a function of the LOADER swf without having this compile-time error?
