View 13 RepliesI'm trying to simply access anything inside this loaded SWF and all I get is 'null'.
I have code in the parent SWF that needs to tell the child SWF movieclip what to do but nothing works. This was a piee of cake in AS2 and I can't seem to get anything to crossover in AS3.
Here's my code:
import com.greensock.TweenMax;
import flash.display.MovieClip;
var myLoader:Loader = new Loader();

panel2 traces null and all the clips loaded within pull up undefined property errors.
I want to develop a GWT javascript application that must interact with a flex widget and fire events from 2 directions (flex to GWT and GWT to flex)For example I develop a function in GWT called onWidgetSelected(int widgetID){ ...} the generated javascript code does not contain the name of this function. So If I want to invoke it from flex through javascript call what should I do ?

View 3 RepliesI have this function in the parent class:
ActionScript Code:
private m_colors:Array;
protected function set colors(clrs:Array):void {
m_colors = clrs;
}
Then, in my child class I want to call this as:
super.colors = [15, 255];
But it throws an error, it says:
Ambiguous reference to colors. If I do the same with a common function, not a setter one, then just calling it with its name in my child class works fine.

View 7 Repliesi'm attaching clips from library using attachMovie. inside those clips are functions. I'd like to call those functions a few lines after instantiating them using 'attachMovie.' It seems that the clip isn't fully loaded because my functions aren't being called. I tried using movieClip.onLoad, but no dice.
View 1 RepliesNo idea what I'm doing wrong here, it just won't let me access any of my public methods on my class. I just keep getting "Error 1180: call to a possibly undefined method"!
If I run the same function in the constructor of the class everything is fine.

View 4 RepliesI am trying to write C++ code to interface to arbitrary instances of flash player 10 contained in arbitrary web pages from IE. All I need to be able to do is:
1) determine if the player is playing,
2) start playback, and
3) stop playback.
I am searching for a way to so this programmatically, without resorting to simulating user input to the control.
I have played around with the IShockwaveFlash COM interface which works OK on some sites but not others (e.g. not on YouTube). I am wondering if it is possible to use IShockwaveFlash::CallFunction() with the appropriate XML string to invoke predefined functions in ActionScript that have not been explicitly exported using ExternalInterface.addCallback().
Or perhaps there is enough functionaly using accessibility and the IAccessible interface?
I've got clips being attached using attachMovie (clips are in the library with linkage id's).
inside those clips are two functions. I'm trying to access those functions after I attach the clips, but not getting anywhere.
I assume that the methods of my attached clip (the functions) aren't available immediately, but rather after the clip actually 'loads' to the stage they are.
I just started "coding" in AS3. By "coding", I actually mean trying around with features and generally trying to grasp the vast amount stuff you can do with this software of. I have some coding experience, however the way Flash likes to hide code snippets all over my project does tend to confuse me. Not knowing where I tried putting the code and/or rewrote some other stuff keeps me sorta busy.
Anyway, my issue is this:
Messing around with movieclips inside movieclips, I've keep encountering the error "1120: Access of undefined property onTimerComplete." I do realize that this error generally is caused by not having defined an instance correctly or not having it defined at all - an error beginners tend to make. Nonetheless, I'm not trying to refer to an instance/symbol, I am trying to call a function defined on the stage from within a movieclip that also is placed on the stage.
I've been reading huge amounts of text/articles and how-to 's, but they all seem to only touch the subject lightly or simply going in head-first - becoming far too complicated for me (a beginner) to grasp.
So, trying to sum my questions up into something that looks like a tl;dr:
- What's up with levels, "_root" and referring to functions like in the older versions of flash?
Flash tells me to use some display-package instead of _root, when I use that... (I do realize the article is from Flash 5.0)
- How do you refer to a function defined on the stage, from inside a movieclip? (The function is a timer, that is supposed to make the mother-movieclip continue to the next child-movieclip.)
I have a .as file with a load of functions that i include using : include "myFunctions.as".They can be accessed alright.I have a custom class that extends movieclip, and i want to use a function inside that class that is located in my "myFunctions.as" file.How do i do that? Seems like the class loads before the myFunctions.as file so the functions are unavailable at this time. I get that error message :
View 7 RepliesOne of the great features of CFCs is the ability to reuse the code for both a straight .cfm page and for Flex apps.
One such app that I devleoped uses Flex for its charting capabilities and needs access to a 'getResults()' function in the cfc.
All of this content is behind an authentication mechanism, but since the cfc will open itself up to a wsdl request:
[URL]
and will actually return the results to the browser if the URL query is crafted properly:
[URL]
What techniques have people used to protect the cfc from direct access UNLESS the request is coming directly from the CFML processor OR from Flex Remoting?
I've seen some discussion on how to load a child swf using swfLoader and accessing it's variables but I am wondering if it is possible to do this without adding any code to the child swf.Either accessing public vars or listening for funciton calls would work fine
