I have a main.swf that loads in an external swf called home.swf. I want to be able to call a function in main.swf's doc class from the loaded swf:
Code:
function loadArtist():void { // my function }
in the main timeline of home.swf I'm calling it this way:
Code:
function timeToGo(m:MouseEvent):void {
trace("button pressed");
MovieClip(this.parent.parent).loadArtist(); }
the home.swf compiles fine but when loaded in the main.swf & the button is pressed i get this error:
TypeError: Error #1006: loadArtist is not a function.
at home_fla::MainTimeline/timeToGo()
It seems that it thinks loadArtist is a property. Ack. I've got 3 objects loaded dynamically using addChildAt(mc, 0) ...
i want to call an external function inside a class. thats the code;
in checkConnectionStatus function,
this[_funcNameForSucceededCon].apply(); doesnt work because "this" is the class, not the Application. How can i reach Application at this time or what can i do?
package myLibrary
{
import air.net.URLMonitor;
import flash.events.Event;

For some reason I cant figure this out,I have a function thats in a method in a class..I have a second method in the same class, trying to call the function from the second methodeg:

I'm building a game in which I have different player objects which will behave differently. I want to make a player(i call it professor) class held in an external .as file. I need to be able to assign onEnterFrame attributes in for this class in the external .as file and I'm encountering some difficulties. here is my .as file
//professor constructor
_global.Professor = function ( skin, thrust, decay, maxSpeed )
{
this.skin = skin;
[code]...
The constructor is working fine, along witht he getSkin function, but I can't get the onEnterFrame function to work. It is my understanding that once I instantiate an instance of the Professor class that the onEnterFrame function should kick over and start sending my trace statement to the debugger at the current frame rate.
ps. here is the code in my .fla
#include "Professor.as"
playerOne = new Professor("mathews");
playerOne.getSkin();
while working with a server side script (php or aspx) which returns some data(from the database) can we call it in a sub-class or do we have to make the calls in the document class itself?

I have a Document class that instantiates a class named Other. I need to call a function in the Other class from the Document class.I'm getting this error: Call to a possibly undefined method OtherFunction through a reference with static type Other.I have read online that you need to use make the functions static or use a getter function but I'm unclear how to do that. I haven't been able to make it work and I feel like i'm missing something fundemental with this problem.below are simplified versions of the classes.

I am using in AS3 "External Interface ". When I call the JS function that is on the same page as swf everything works fine.
I added a link in the html page to an external JS file, when I move the JS function to the external JS file the website crushes.
I would prefer to have all my JS functions on an external file so I can use them in the future in other project and it also makes it easier for me to update the site.
how to call a JS function that is on an external file from AS3?
I have a document class called Main.as In the class constructor I have the following listener:
enter code here
var listeningFORModeChangeToStudent:Sprite = new Sprite;
listeningFORModeChangeToStudent.addEventListener(TellAllModeChangeToStudent.STUDENT,exp);
addChild(listeningFORModeChangeToStudent);
[code]....
In a third class I make a call to the despatcher in the previous class:
enter code here
var ThisTellAllModeChangeToStudent:TellAllModeChangeToStudent = new TellAllModeChangeToStudent;
ThisTellAllModeChangeToStudent.tellAllModeChangeToStudent();
I have trace statements in eveything and from this I know the despatcher in TellAllModeChangeToStudent is being called.The problem is that the listener in the main.as is not calling the function exp.I cant see why and I dont know how to check if the listener is actually seeing the dispatch event?

View 4 RepliesI have a Main.fla which loads Main.as as its document class. In Main.as I have a public function named "Main" which runs a trace. I also have another .as file called Preloader.as, which also has a public function in it, this one named "Preloader" with simple trace in it. I just cannot figure out how to use Preloader() from the Preloader class in Main() from the Main class. Main.as loads up fine when the SWF loads and traces.

How to call a function in a Class from another Class?but it was a bit hard to follow as it relates to my problem. One of the solutions worked, but was commented as being bad form, and another did not work, so I want to make sure I structure my code properly.
I'm trying to create a new instance of a MovieClip when the original one has been used. Would sound easy enough. Just use: var
instanceName:ClassName = new ClassName();
the class name/mc in the library im trying to duplicate is MCg1 so
var instanceName:MCg1 = new MCg1(); right?
However, the particular object in the library i'm trying to duplicate has a base class that is an external class file (just to control it's drag drop functionality)... i.e baseclass is not set to the standard flash.display.MovieClip, or whatever the case maybe. So i end out with a: TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
I am trying to access a function in a loaded swf that has external class.. I would like to avoid having to put the function on my "Main" Doc class in the external swf and instead access the function directly from the class
This is what ive tried so far and it's a no dice:
private function startLoad(){
var loader:Loader = new Loader();
var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest("one.swf");
[Code]....
how do use a function from a doc class.... to call a function to work on in
[Code]...
i have some actionscript that makes a
ExternalInterface.call('someFunction');
call.is it possible to reference the html object that made the call to someFunction directly using the ExternalInterface.call call?
Assume that the object that makes the call also has some Callbacks (via ExternalInterface.addCallback) that are accessible via javascript.
Currently:
Actionscript source
ExternalInterface.call("someFunction");
ExternalInterface.addCallback("someCallback",someASfunction);

View 2 RepliesLets say I have Main.swf and sub.swf, and I wanna load sub when I press a button from Main, but sub.swf has its own external class file attached, so here is the problem, when I load sub using loader class and I would get this message from the output panel:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.

seems loader class can not access sub.swf's external class when sub is being loaded.

View 3 RepliesHow do you call a function from another class in AS3? Functions referring properties/methods from instances created in that class. For example I have a class that creates a textfield and a scrollbar and another that load some images in a Scroll Pane component. I do it in that way because in some menus appears only text and in others text & images
What I need is with the scrollbar, scroll both text and images
