IDE :: Deep Buttons Within A Header?
Mar 1, 2010
I have buttons in my header and the header has animations on it so I have no choice but to place the buttons deep inside the header movieclip. Now, the problem is that the actionscript on the main timeline can't access the buttons.
Here is a sample of my actionscript:
about.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickSection);
If I place the button on the main time line. I get no errors. But when I place the button deep inside the header, I can't seem to access it.I checked the layers and it indicated "Scene 1", "Header2", "Header", and at the very end of that are the buttons so I tried doing this:
Scene1.Header2.Header.about.addEventListener(Mouse Event.CLICK, clickSection);
I obviously failed.

I've used JRab's example here [URL]... to add a header menu to my app. What I'm having trouble with is executing my functions from the header mennu. For example, my firstView is appHome.mxml. It instantiates a Canvas object that has an erase(). There is a button in appHope.mxml that executes the erase() on the Canvas instance. I'm trying move the Erase button out of my appHome.mxml and into my headerMenu.mxml but don't know how to execute the erase() on the Canvas instance. The first thing I thought to try was click="{appHome.myCanvas.erase()}" but obviously that didn't work.
I asked a similar question yesterday here: Flex executing a function on another view and I accepted the answer before I tried it. The problem is that the headermenu.mxml is not a child of appHome.mxml. They are both children of the main app.mxml. Secondly, the object that has the erase() is in a separate .as class I instantiate in appHome.mxml.

The better you understand what you are doing, the better you will do it. I want to get Deep into Flex . I did some simple Event-Handling and The better you understand what you are doing, the better you will do it.
But i have i big question: What does the Compiler do ? What happens with the MXML file ?
lets say we have a simple code ( code from blogflexexamples):

A project requirement is that it be 1 way deeplinkable(a specific query string will load a section within the swf).I have a URLProxy that I use for all external linking. It makes sense to me to put the query string logic in this proxy. So in the constructor, I check for a querystring, and then send a notification if it equals a predefined value.One problem with this is that I'd like to predefine this query string key value I am checking against in an external xml file. So another proxy, loads-parses this config xml, then the URL proxy checks against this.

how i can achieve deep linking with the external swf import technique? Im using the "Transitions Between External SWF's" tut from Kirupa but am not able to post a link here since im new. I have created a website that has this functionality between sections and would like to apply the deep linking to it.

If there is a link to a section of a flash website from an HTML and/ or another Flash Movie... is there a way that the link could load the next Flash movie and then go to a specific keyframe or, even better, allow a custom animation to play when the user goes from the link on the first page to the "deep link" within the Flash movie?I can try to clarify the problem and question if I have to. Curious if this can be done and if anyone out there has had any success.Have used named anchors before to allow Windows toggling and bookmarking of Flash sections... however, this would have to work on ALL platform browsers and as info is somehow passed into the new Flash movie it seems different altogether

OK, so i began sifting through the tutorials on the site and found the one on faces and depths in the 3D section [URL]..From my understanding the actionscript creates the cube inside a movie clip, is there a way to turn each face of the cube in to a link/button to the next scene? if so how would it be done?
When i rename face0, face1,face2 etc the cube messes up, is it not possible to change

I want to find a relatively easy solution for deep dynamic linking within flash. There are plenty of tutorials out there, so please don't jump to the conclusion that I haven't done a search. What I am looking for is a tutorial that should theoretically be easy to follow for someone who is a non-coder.

I have swfaddress (2.4) working fine on my site - the back button works, I can copy and paste urls and be taken to the correct page, etc.BUT, if I copy a url, say and paste it into a new browser window, the site always just loads to the home page after the preloader. What am I missing? Do I somehow need to check the url when the page loads?

I have a Flex app I built. It uses the BrowserManager class to listen for changes in the # part of the URL. When a change is made to the hash my application updates accordingly so you can link directly to a state of the application. Also inside my programming when a user clicks something, all I do is use the BrowserManager to update the # and then my listener will apply the correct changes once its finished. I believe this is the best practice way to doing this in Flex.
I have some issues though. When using the Back button in FF or IE, it gets "stuck". for example if the hash is like #state4 clicking the back button will take you to #state3 then #state2 but sometimes get stuck where you can be on #state3 click the back button, see it flicker to #state2 real quick then change back to #state3 preventing you from going back any further in your history.

Is there any way, without having the creator of the object implement any special functions (no specific serialization functions) (however, they can use annotations), to have Flash serialize a generic, possibly deep (objects within objects within objects, etc, etc, etc) object?

I have sucessfully built a swfaddress site that works fine when you are navigating about, but if you go to a new url and then use back to return to the site, it goes to the correct frame, but the movie behaves as if it has lost some of the settings I made like stage.ScaleMode, and some of the functions and variables I defined on the main timeline are suddenly gone. The same thing happens when I paste in a direct link. The movie successfully goes to the page, but anything I've defined on the main 'actions' layer doesnt take any more.

I'm working on a portfolio website of a friend using AS 3 and after a lot of reading and testing I have implemented deep linking for the main categories of the website. Now I need to figure out how to do it for the 'level 2 and level 3' content, for example a category and a project.
I have thought of this. Let's say this is our string of swfaddress: /portfolio/illustration/freelance-city
I would use a String.split like this:
var addr:String = new String("/portfolio/illustration/freelance-city");
var splitted:Array = new Array();
splitted = addr.split("/");
I will check: if the array is 1 long, do only level 1 stuff if 2 level 1 and 2 (go to correct main category and portfolio category) if 3 do all levels (go to correct main category, portfolio category and project) Right now, the array will have 4 items (it should be 3).
is this a reliable way to work for deep linking multiple levels? Any general tips for deep linking this kind of content? And how can you make sure the string splits 'after' the delimiter? To make sure the stuff before the first "/" isn't counted.

I have movieA.swf, movieB.swf, movieC.swf. movieB.swf loads movieC.swf.
I have a button in movieC.swf, which when clicked, I want it to unload itself.
I've tried loads of things... but nothing seems to work. The empty movie in which movieC.swf gets loaded into movieB.swf is called, emptyHolder, say for example.
In movieB.swf, I've tried to do the following:
_root.dummyHolder = emptyHolder.
And then movieC.swf, the button code is:
myButton.onRelease = function() {_root.dummyHolder.unloadMovie();}
Unfortunately, this doesn't seem to work.

I'm implementing swfaddress in my project, which starts with a main swf with various menus. When a menu item is clicked, it signals a url change, and the url change loads a corresponding external swf. All works swimmingly here. But... what if I wanted to have another menu from within the loaded external swf, and have that have its own loaded external swfs, url change etc, as well? For example, on my home page, there is a menu item called "news".
Once "news" is clicked, the url changes and loads a "news.swf" into a holder on the main swf. Now, in the "news.swf" there is yet another menu, this one with two buttons: one button says "Article 1" and the other "Article 2" and each would signal a URL change and load "article1.swf" and "article2.swf" respectively when clicked. Is there a way to get the menus on the external swf to communicate with the swfaddress that is happening from within the main swf so that every swf has it's own url address and different events triggered by that change? so the url for article 1 would look something like [URL]

I am having difficulty making the buttons of the 3rd level load the final set of external swfs and keep doing the smooth transitions they are supposed to, with midframes and outros. Somehow I am messing up the paths. I have several buttons in each level and they all work fine except the very last level.Below are a characteristic string of button AS for each level:
Main timeline:
on (release) {
if (_level0.currMovie == undefined) {
_level0.currMovie = "firm";
menu.loadMovie("firm.swf");
[code]....
All buttons inside assoc.swf are not working. I played around with the paths, but obviously I am missing something very simple and very ellusive about pathing. If I change the path in firm.swf so that _root is _lever0, then THOSE buttons stop working.
