Actionscript 3 :: URLLoader Handler In Child Movie Not Being Called?
Jul 16, 2010
I am writing a flex application that has a MainMovie that loads flex programs (ChildMovie) depending on what the user selects in the MainMovie.
class MainMovie{
private var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest();
public function callPHPfile(param:String, loader:URLLoader,
[code]....
I can see that the callPHPfile function is being executed and received xml data from in httpFox, the problem is that the code in the handlerInChild function is not being executed.

I have a queue of messages that I would like to send to a URL and I would like to remove messages from that queue only after I am sure they have been successfully sent. To do this I need to know in the COMPLETE event for the URLLoader exactly what data was sent so that I can remove the correct message from the queue.That is if I have something like this.
var urlRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest(targetUrl);
var urlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
urlLoader.dataFormat = URLLoaderDataFormat.TEXT;

I am using NetStream to play some .flv files on local disc. My code skeleton is:
public class AdvertisPanel extends MovieClip
{
private var _video:Video;
private var _connection:NetConnection;
[Code].....
I used some .flv files that I download from YouTube to test; and I found that the handler metaDataListener would not be called when playing some .flv files, but some would. Is the problem caused by the video file? Because I may resize the video before play it on the screen, and I really need to know its original width & height.

I have an AS 3.0 class that loads a JSON file in using a URLRequest.
package {
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.display.Loader;
[Code]....
When the file is finished loading, the mapHandler event makes changes to the class properties, which in turn are accessed using the getMapWidth function. However, if the getMapwidth function gets called before it finishes loading, the program will fail.
How can I make the class wait to accept function calls until after the file is loaded?

I'm using Delegates in a new project I'm working on to call an event handler in my class with the scope of the class.
I'm having an issue referencing which button is calling this handler. Since all of my buttons are created dynamicly, this is a big problem.
I'm used to using forms and components where I had no problem with this and could reference who was calling the event handler by using - event.target
This doesn't seem to be the case with movieclips though, is there another way to do this?

I need to call FileReference.save() after a web service call has completed, but this method has a restriction: "In Flash Player, you can only call this method successfully in response to a user event (for example, in an event handler for a mouse click or keypress event). Otherwise, calling this method results in Flash Player throwing an Error exception." (from the documentation here)
This restriction is a bit vague. Does it mean that I can only call the FileReference.save() method from within an event handler function that is registered as a listener for certain types of user events? If so then exactly which user events are valid? (Perhaps there's an event that will never be dispatched by user interaction with my application and I could register an event handler function for that event type and make the save() call from within that function?)
My difficulty is that I can't safely call the FileReference.save() method until my web service returns with the data that will be used as the argument of the FileReference.save() method call, so the event that triggers the FileReference.save() call is actually a ResultEvent rather than a user event, and I'm leery of dispatching a new (faux) user event type in order to be able to trigger the FileReference.save() call unless it's definitely a user event that would never be dispatched as a result of actual user interaction with my application.
In a nutshell what I'm doing now is this: I have a function that is registered as a handler for a button click. In this function I make my web service call to fetch data from the server. I also have a result handler function which gets invoked when the web service call completes, and it's in here that I want to call the FileReference.save() method since it's at this point that I know that the data is ready to be saved to a file. But the aforementioned restriction is blocking me from doing this -- I get an error:
Error #2176: Certain actions, such as those that display a pop-up window, may only be invoked upon user interaction, for example by a mouse click or button press.
I've tried many things to get around this such as creating a second mouse click event handler function with the FileReference.save() call within and calling it after a timeout interval (to give the web service time to complete), but I keep running into the same error -- maybe that approach doesn't work since the second function isn't registered as an event listener for the event type used as its argument.

I am having issues with startDrag(). I have a movie clip called circle. Inside circle, I have a movie clip called circleFill and another called circleOutline.onEnterFrame, this movieClip is duplicated 4 times.
When I use this:
private function onPressNow(event:MouseEvent):void
{
startDrag();
}
IT DRAGS ALL 4 MOVIECLIPS.
[Code]...
how can I make it drag my movieClip called circle? (meaning both circleFill and outlineFill)

I have two classes in my project - a main class and a fancyText class. In main I create a new instance of fancyText and add it to the stage. Inside fancyText there is a timer that runs and when x time is up the fancyText fades out.
I'd like to know the best way to remove the child from main when the alpha of fancyText hits zero. Should i go down the route of adding a listener to fancyText in main, and dispatching a custom event from within the fancyText class?
I guess i could just check the child's alpha value in main and remove it when the alpha it's zero. But fancyText only gets added in a certain scenario - so i can't check it all the time - which would mean doing something like this:
Code:
...
addChild(fancyText)
checkFancyText = true (assuming a boolean declared earlier)
...
elsewhere in main -
[Code].....
Seems like there are a number of ways to do it - I don't suppose it's possible to remove a child from main from within fancyText class? or is that space cadet talk?

I have a button labeled 'blueButton' and I'd like to use an anonymous function to handle the click, like so:
blueButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, function(event:MouseEvent):void {
trace( "-----click detected-----" );
// now do other stuff
});
Problem is, the click handler is called multiple times per click. The number of times called seems to be random (sometimes 2, sometimes 4, sometimes 3 etc). could I be missing something in my code, or maybe I set up the button wrong?
also I noticed that it seems to always get called once on the first click. After the first click is when it starts getting called additional times, maybe that has something to do with it?

I have an Movie Clip in Flash that have subobject of button type which has subobject of input text and movie clips. Right after creation core Moveclip all subobject are set to null, when I expect them to be valid objects.
[Code]...
MC_Core_design was created in Flash and exported to Actionscript. I've done this for button_1 class aswell. The code was written using Flex. When I comment out both lines that result in error I get correct view of the core Movie clip with all subobject. How can I set subobject properties right after object creation?

I'm using an SWF handler to load my pages(MovieClips) into the Main Movie. I'm using Actionscript 2.0. My problem is when I click the button the swf is loaded into the handler but my actionscript is not executing its _x axis move.(graphics should slide in from the right), Here is the code I have applied to the sliding graphic:
//OLD SKOOL
xTargetOSM = 30;
OSM.onEnterFrame = function() {
[code]....
-this code works when the SWF is played alone, but fails when it is loaded into the SWF handler in my main movie.

I have a blank movie in a library
1. I drop it on the stage.
2. I name the instance "content"
3. I use some code to detect an event : onClipEvent(mouseDown) content.onMouse...
Everything works.
4. Then I load a different movie: root.contents.loadMovie("hardware.swf");
5. Now my handler from #3 doesn't work, it can't do content.onMouse...
How can I set something...? variable? so that when the blank movie clip is loaded with different movies I can name it to "content" to still use the original eventhandler so that #3 above still works?

I have a Flash movie that behaves as follows:Movie loads > tries to load an XML file using URLLoader.load() > uses the data in the XML to load some images into the movie.The requirement was for updates to the XML file to be picked up within 10 minutes, so I have added a querystring parameter to the XML URL which is a timestamp to the nearest ten minutes, e.g.1-40**This all works for me as expected in IE and Chrome, and it works locally for me in Firefox. However, on our production server (IIS) in Firefox, the following behaviour occurs (by observing Firebug):First load:SWF loads > XML Requested and loads > images requested and loadSubsequent page loads:SWF Loads > no request for the XML (no request shown in Firebug)Firebug shows the following information about the XML file from the first successful request:
Response Headers
Cache-Control max-age=31536000
Content-Length 640

if (keyboardEvent.keyCode == Keyboard.A) {
//DO MY STUFF NAO
}}
Error:
1119: Access of the possibly undefined property A through a reference with static type class.
When I put Keyboard.RIGHT or Keyboard.SHIFT etc. It works fine. I tried it with keyboard.Event.keyCode == 97 and such and it still didn't work.

I want to load an external swf called 'signs.swf' into an empty mc called 'signholder'.
var loadit2 = new Loader();
loadit2.load(new URLRequest("signs.swf"));
signholder.addChild(loadit2);
Everything works. Cool. But, I now want to target something within the signs.swf. How do I do it though? What is the path? Do I have to give the child of signholder an instance name? Everything I try fails.
If I wanted the root timeline of the external swf to gotoAndPlay(2) for example,...would i say...
signholder.loadit2.gotoAndPlay(2) ???
var wow:MovieClip = loadit2.content as MovieClip;
wow.gotoAndPlay(2) ????

I don't know much about Flash, but I thought I knew enough to suffice our company until this latest project. I don't know what's so different about it that it doesn't work for me now, other than we upgraded from CS3 to CS5, but on the last part of my presentation, most of my movie clips are not being called for some reason.These offending movie clips are sitting in a movie clip called "rooms_mc" that sit on the main timeline. An example of a dysfunctional movie clip would be "smallFrame_mc", which is supposed to call itself and play the 2nd frame of its timeline onRollOver and then then play the 1st frame onRollOut. Simple stuff, right? I have similar-working stuff happening on other parts of the presentation (see "buttons_mc" for example). I see it is triggering my "whiteOut_mc" movie clips when rolling over the movie clips on the page, but that's it. I don't understand why it can't call any of the other movie clips?

I have a text box movie clip called Text_mc. The Text_mc contains the number "1".I need this number to be updated daily at 12:00am by adding "1" to the existing number. Actually it is like a counter, but it counts days from the number given in Text_mc. Daily it adds a number to the existing number at 12:00am.

The code below adds all the childrens of specific movie clip to the array called arrayBox. The next loop SHOULD loop through all the items inside arrayBox and check if any of those items (those items are all movie clips) is colliding with movie clip which isn't in array called avatar. If so, it should pop up the output and change some variable, but the point is that something with second loop is wrong...
