I have a main document/fla, and ive created a game class, instantiated it in the document/fla file and it runs now i want to put a button inside that game class that can tell the root document/fla to jump to a certain frame.
View 1 RepliesI have basic knowledge of Flash and do not know how to link an external image to my Flash document. While flipping through a Flash resource book, my thought is that it's through Actionscript, possibly using URLLoader/URLRequest classes. But I don't understand how to do it. Also, do I use a transparent button as the placeholder for the image/actionscript?
View 2 RepliesI'm working on this small project to demonstrate how flash works to a few friends and I am trying to make a small avatar have some animation and upon mouse roll over grow and after removing mouse the avatar will shrink. There is also supposed to be a message displayed over the avatar and upon clicking the avatar the message changes. I have the avatar shrinking/growing thing done and its working fine and I also have the message to be displayed but I cannot seem to link the two into one actionscript file so they both appear at the same time.
Here are the codes:
i) for the avatar shrinking/growing
package { import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
public class U1A3_Stickman extends MovieClip {
private var _origXScale:Number;
[Code] .....
I've tried to simply insert the document class into the flash with the avatar shrink/grow code but it's not working.
hey there guys im doing my final major poject for college in media and were making a set of films and making a flash interface to go with them i was just wondering how can i make links in flash that either link to a an localy saved Html document or a localy saved .mov? i know how to link them to a website but not a locally saved file?

I've been working on a new issue while giving a break on cracking the other one.I have a movie clip acting as a button with rollover/rollout animation- we'll call it menu_mc for simple reference.I'm basically creating a rollover submenu. I've set it up a few different ways but the most user friendly has been hiding the submenu_mc (which has 4 linked buttons to root frame inside) by doing:_root.sub5_mc._visible = false;then inside the menu_mc with the rollover I have the submenu trigger set to show: _root.sub5_mc._visible = true;The links are working fine but the problem I am running into, is that the rollover state, once over the submenu_mc, does the rollout function and leaves the submenu_mc hanging there by itself- still functioning perfectly.You can go back over the menu_mc and it will play out the rollover again.On the other simple animated buttons (which do not have submenus) I have coded:
on(rollOver) {
_root.sub5_mc._visible = false;
}

I have created a Flash animation and would like to be able to let viewers link to the pdf that explains the project. The information is currently headed to clients on CD and later on the Web in html. How should I go about this, should I sue an action script?
View 1 Repliesi want to set the focus on a certain textfield, but since the textfield is not in the document class of my application im having trouble to access the focus property. things like: this.focus = myTf, MovieClip(parent).stage.focus = myTf etc. don't work for me, im slowly turning insane.
How to access the focus property outsite the document class?
Alright, I am pulling my hair out on this one. Got this problem at around 9 last night and was up until 5 trying to fix it, and then all day so far (it's already about 9 PM again) trying to fix it. I've tried everything I can think of.Alright, so I'm trying to reference the document object from various classes in my class library. Everything seemed to be going peachy until I started getting this random, weird error. I thought maybe it was Flash acting up all of a sudden but I tried it on my Mac as well and I get the same error.Basically no matter WHAT I do, I am getting the error:

How are they related?
Are they the same?
Is using "MovieClip(root)." from anywhere actually equivalent to coding in the document class?
What's different in their effect on the display list?
My teacher gave me the task of making an interactive touch screen flash for an open day at my school, i can easily do most of the things to make this work but two things evade me.
He wants the writing in a word document linked so he can easily change what the document says without re exporting the flash.
He also wants me to be able to make the pictures from a document appear in a slideshow without adding each individual picture in a random order as a screen saver effect.
I have a document class called Racine in which I add all the resize events so that the stage takes all the available screen. extract of Racine class :

As a standalone site, it is ok, but now, I want to make a preloader, and I am wondering what is the simplest way to achieve that by making less modification as possible in my Racine class? Suppose I create a swf called loader.swf loading my site, site.swf, is it possible to have a document root also for loader.swf?
how do I append a child to an empty xml.

If I wanted to do something like this:

How would I get a handle on myCanvas (where I'd want myCanvas to be the root )?
Anyways, I've been trying to figure this out for quite some time.Let's say I have my document class. I'm guessing the document class can correspond to the first thing that gets run? (such as the "main" function in most C++/low level languages).If I set a variable in it:var myNumber:Number = 10;how would Iaccess: "myNumber" from other objects in my stage?Like a movieclip on my stage for example.If I go inside that movieclip into the movieclip's first frame, how would I say:trace(TheDocumentClass.myNumber);Another similar question is, what about the actual stage frame?If I click on frame 1 of my stage, set a variable:var aNumber:Number = 5;how would I access it from other objects?In my movieclip's first frame, what would I put?trace(root.aNumber); ?trace(stage.aNumber); ?
View 9 RepliesSo I have a MovieClip symbol created in the Flash IDE with a baseClass of flash.display.MovieClip and Class name of "Square". I have placed it on the timeline of my fla at frame 30 and given it an instance name of "square". How can I control that MovieClip from my DocumentClass? I have an ENTER_FRAME listener listening for the arrival of frame 30. At that time I want to simply do something to the "square" MovieClip. But I keep getting a compile-time error of "1119: Access of possibly undefined property square through a reference with static type flash.displayisplayObject.".

It's a lot of code, but here is the full code.

import flash.display.MovieClip;
import pim.gui.PGConsole;
import pim.loader.PCommandLoader;
[Code] .....
Alright so right now, I have sort of a singleton reference that I'm using so I can reference the document object from any class (without the need to pass the client object to each class that needs to use it). I'm pretty sure I've done this before and had it work, but obviously it is not. I've even tried passing the client object (this) to the PCommandLoader object and it still gives this really strange error (that is without the use of any static methods, etc.).
I've tried everything -- even a class that holds the PClient object reference, which was really messy -- and it still gives this really, really weird message. Even referencing the root property on movieclips gives me this error. The movie was working great and then magically it started doing this. I backed everything up and undid everything back to pretty much empty script files and it wouldn't let me compile since...
I'm using a PreLoader as a parent SWF that loads the actual website as a child SWF. In the website SWF, the child SWF, will MovieClip(root) still work and refer to it's own root, or the PreLoader's root? And would I still access the websitite's document class (the child's document class), through MovieClip(root)? What if both files have a document class?So my main question is how do document classes and MovieClip(root) behave in the scenario when you have:
Parent SWF - document class, MovieClip(root)
|
Child SWF (loaded by parent) - document class, MovieClip(root)

I am trying to figure out how to link a bunch of buttons to different photo albums inside a single HTML page in Dreamweaver. Here is an example of what I mean: [URL]
Unless I'm mistaken, everything in this website is contained within one HTML document.When you click on any of the various buttons in the portfolio menu, they simply load up and appear inside the same HTML document.
How on earth do you do this without clicking on any of the various buttons and having them linked to another page??
I experienced the following error when loading xml using AS3. I searched the whole internet for solutions but nothing works! But after trying for hours, i somehow solve it. All I did was to remove "</xml>" from my xml.

View 2 RepliesI am dispatching an event from one document class and listening for it via another document class.My code in class A.

My listener is registering before the event is dispatched, based on my output window, however I never get the "Open Doors" trace statement to fire.
the project im working on is all database driven, there are no html files and all coding that is created is made by php then stored within a db to be called later on. now because of this i can't use relative links at all with anything i.e. images, videos and swf files.
so.....i am using swfobject to link to a swf file using absolute linking as shown in the coding below. but what i need to do now is link an .as file in my swf using absolute linking so i can call some arrays from the file.i have doubled checked to make sure my vars can be passed by local testing and it works but now i need it as absolute....is this possible?
Situation:
- We have a Flash application located on a SAP EP (let's say ep.x.com)
- We have a SAP ABAP Application (Webservices) on a SAP WebAS
server (abap.x.com)
- Clarification: This is not about Flash islands / but a normal Flash application communicating with WebAS ABAP via WebServices
Problem: Due to the changed security policy in Flash 10 this scenario does no longer work.
- A crossdomain policy file on root level cannot be deployed on root level
- The WebServices http/s headers cannot be modified, since the WebServices are generated by the WebAS IDE.
Comment: Technically there is a way to patch a WebAS ABAP,but this is not a practical / acceptable way in a normal SAP WebAS infrastructure.
Conclusion:- The above scenario (Flash from EP content / WebAS ABAP as backend) is a quite normal scenario in the SAP world.
- SAP / Adobe always features the close relationship between their technologies.
Question:- What could we do?
- How does the Visual Composer works around that problem?
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?
