I'm working on a website built in Flex, but the SWF file after compiling is very large. The websites has multiple pages. So I thought to create a new MXML project for every new page and load it with SWFLoader. I've found this example:

I'm trying to load a SWF I created with Flash CS4 into Flash Builder with the SWFLoader class, but I can't seem to access the loaded SWF's children. Everytime I try to change the property of a child it'll ignore it.
I tried loading the SWF with the Loader class, but it doesn't allow me to add it to the stage. How can I load the SWF and access it's children?My code atm (m is a child of the loaded SWF (SWFToLoad)):
ActionScript Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

Is there a way to access variables on the main timeline in Flash other than MovieClip(root).myVar ? The problem I am having is that I have a movie clip that uses several main timeline variables, but when I instantiate it, it throws a 1009 type error (cannot access property of null object reference). My understanding of whats going on (and please correct me if I am wrong) is that when instantiated it runs the code on the first frame of the movieclip. However, it is not added to display list yet, so it does not have a root. Thus, all the MovieClip(root).myVar lines do not have a root to look at. Does anyone know of a way around this?
View 3 RepliesI have a MC with a class attached to it, and I have other MCs within that MC. I need those MCs to be able to access variables within the main MC class. Here is a quick'n'dirty:
Code:
class Foo extends MovieClip{private var h:Number;
private var subMC:MovieClip;function Foo(_h:Number){h = _h;}
subMC.onEnterFrame = function(){trace(h);}}
How can I access variables in the Foo class from another MCs scope? I have tried using static var but aren't they constant regardless of instance?
I can't access the variables that I declare in the main timeline from a child.
I attach the child to the stage during runtime.
I have a site that I'm working on that I am loading an external swf page into a main one. The main one is based on a totally liquid state and stretches the background to fill the browser and the components are relatively position based on browser window dimensions.
Now inside of the main swf I load an external swf through the loader command. This swf has a set dimension and stays centered in the stage.
I am trying to make a button in this swf that loads yet another swf that is stretches the full browser. However I do not know how to access the properties of a main swf from this external one, or if this is even possible.
How do I access variables on the main scene from inside a movie clip.
I have a variable called player health, and inside the movie clip I want to do this, playerhealth -= 20, but its not working
i have one main.fla, its document class is main.as. the code in main.as is package.[code]where val is the property of Loading class.so how can i access.
View 2 RepliesI can't seem to load a movie clip, and then pass some variables from that loaded movie clip back to through stage_mc it is loading into - to the SubClip.
The structure is as follows:
Main
>SubClip
>>Stage_mc
Where the new movie clip is loading into stage.
I need to pass two variables from the loaded clip into the SubClip. Simple vars to fill some dynamic text in SubClip.
I've done the whole _root.myvar thing, _parent, and _global.
I'm loading external swf's in a main swf, which are contained into a container "thisMC" which is a movieClip.
Now I've got various variables in these external swf's and I want to access these variables into my main swf.
eg - var myString:Variable = thisMC.myNumber;
trace("Whats the value "+myString);
o/p Whats the value undefined.so if myString is a variable that i've defined in the main swf and myNumber is a variable defined in the external swf, if I try accessing it like this , this is what I'm getting.
I'm literally new in AS3 and slowly trying to migrate in thats why im here seeking for help. Can someone help me how to access/control a certain public variable in a loaded swf from the main swf? this problem has been paralyzing me for days. (sigh...) [code]...
View 1 RepliesHow can I access variables defined on root from a loaded movieclip? The loaded movieclip path can differ, so I cannot get to root like parent.parent, for example. I thought something like this.root.varName may work, but it obviously doesn't.
View 3 Repliesi have a loader.swf contains important functions and variables that loads 10 external swf-s (site compontents) in a container MC, those external swf-s also have some important functions and variables.my problem is that i don't know how to access the variables and functions declared in the main swf ( loader.swf ) from the loaded swf-s.so the hierarchy looks like:
Code: Select all
main swf ( loader.swf )
childAt(0) ( container MC )[code].........
1. ( for example ) : how can I access/refer the functions and variables declared in the "main swf" ( loader.swf ) from the "2. loaded swf" ?
2. how can i access/refer the functions and variables declared in the "2. loaded swf" from the "1. loaded swf" ?

I've created a Flash Animation (CS5, ActionScript 3) and converted it to SWF. The flash animation needs the values of 3 variables (defined in the swf timeline) BEFORE it starts running in my Flex application. I've embedded the swf file using swfloader in Flex, but I need to pass the parameters from Flex into Flash before the animation starts. How do I do this?
The way I have my flex code setup below, the variables are not being updated. I get an exception every time it gets to the changeParams function because it can't find "Type", "Num1", etc.
Part of My flash code:
//These 3 variables need to be populated via Flex BEFORE the animation starts...
var Num2:int;
var Num1:int;

I'm having the following problem when I'm loading a swf inside a swfloader. That thing is that this subapp has a config file, and when this config file is being accessed by the subapp it throws an Security error (#2148).I thought it was the crossdomain.xml file, but it has no reestrictions:
I suppose that the subapp is trying to access a config file that is in the swf parent server insted of trying to access its own file in the server where it is installed; how to make this swfloader access its own data,
can i save a screenshot from a loaded swf using the SWFLoader class ?
View 1 RepliesI have a initApp.as which instantiates a class which needs to access the "currentState" property and the States array as well. However we cannot get this to work as we cannot see how we can access this information.
Within initApp.as currentState is accessed via "this.currentState". This does not work in the class which is instatiated within initApp.as. The following error is thrown:
"Access of undefined property currentState."
I'm building an application that's basically a frame in that another SWF file is displayed. My application loads SWF files generated by a server and displays them. As memory consumption increases over time, it it necessary that I unload the current SWF from time to time and replace it with a new SWF. I use SWFLoader to load the remote SWF file. I create a new SWFLoader object for each new SWF and remove the old SWFLoader as soon as the new SWF can be displayed. Now my problem: SWFLoader sporadically does not start playing the loaded SWF. All of the SWF files that I load start with the same set of instructions. When all goes well, the SWFLoader gets some ProgressEvents and then an Event.INIT. After that the SWF starts playing. In some cases, however, I only get the progress events, but the INIT is never fired. In that case the SWF doesn't start playing. The number of bytes received reported by the progress event is the same as in the case when it goes right.

View 2 RepliesI have a main Flex Application ('A.swf') loading a SubApplication (defined in' B.swf') via a SWFLoader and I need to listen for UncaughtErrorEvent from the SubApplication. I'm not able to get my event listeners to be called when I throw an error from within the SubApp ('B.swf').After reading the asDoc for UncaughtErrorEvent and UncaughtErrorEvents I have added an event listener to A.swf's loaderInfo (The 'outter' main app) and also to B.swf's loaderInfo (though the Docs say not to do it here it is part of the event sequence in the capture and bubble phase...) as well as the SWFLoader internal FlexLoader.uncaughtErrorEvent (per Docs) like so:[code] The event listener setup on the Loader.uncaughtErrorEvents is not firing when SubApplication in B.swf throws an error. Instead the listener on the main app's (A.swf) loaderInfo fires. Moreover, the event recieved by A.swf's loaderInfo has an eventphase equal to 'EventPhase.AT_TARGET' which the asDoc says should only be dispatched in the capture and bubble phases.
View 2 RepliesI am building a compartmentalized Flex application which uses <SWFLoader > to load additional Flex applications inside it. I am currently planning on using the LocalConnection class to have these two applications talk to each other, but I'm wondering if there's any kind of event driven way to have actions in the internal application propagate to the parent application, and/or any way for the parent application to trigger events in the internal application?
View 1 RepliesI have a swf file sample.swf which has its actionscript class in Main.as. This Main.as has various objects declared as public in it. For instance lets consider an object myData of class MyData (in MyData.as).
I am loading this swf file in my AIR app using swfLoader. I want to know how do I access myData.func() using swfLoader.loaderInfo.content.
I use a flex app (A) to load another flex app (B) using SWFLoader (both built using Flex Builder 3 sometime ago).Everything works fine as expected across all (IE, FF, Chrome, Safari) desktop browsers.However, if I use a TabNavigator within the flex app (B) then when you click on any of the tabs it unloads the flex app (B) and re-starts flex app (A). This behaviour appears to be limited to Webkit based browsers (Chrome & Safari) the rest of the browsers (IE, FF) work fine.

I built my website on the main timeline with a fade in animation...stop(on the page) and a fade out animation. At the end of this fade out animation i would like it to call upon a variable to know what page to go to next.I am trying to tell my main timeline to gotoAndPlay a frame based off of a variable within a movieclip(about_mc this movieclip contains another movieclip which acts like a button(factsheet_mc)) that i have set in my main timeline.I set the variable with:
var buttonFrame; in the first frame of the main timeline
then within my movieclip i have another movieclip which tells my main timeline to play the out fade and remember a variable:
this.onRelease = function(){ --------"this" meaning the movieclip factsheet_mc------------ [code]........
I've got a problem using variables in my Flash project. I've got a variable called "count" decelerate in a layer of my main timeline.
Like this: _global.count=0;
In my movieclip I want to set that variable from 0 to 1.
For do that I wrote in a code layer of my mc: _global.count=1;
Now... When I perform a new action the variables count return to 0.
It's seem that Flash reset all variables.
