Actionscript 3 :: Listen For Changes In A Flash.display.DisplayObject Visibility In A Loaded SWF?
Feb 16, 2010
I'm loading an external SWF (pre-made by an other department of the company I work for) using flash.display.Loader. I then traverse the display list, register all objects and listen for added/removed events to handle future changes to the list.
var obj:DisplayObjectContainer = loadEvent.currentTarget.content as DisplayObjectContainer;
var count:Number = obj.numChildren;
[Code]....
Is there a way I can listen for changes to the .visible property? Or any other property (that doesn't fire a built-in event) for that matter?

I have an empty mc on the stage called "infoloader" and I'm trying to dynamically load a mc called "my_info0" from the library into the empty "infoloader".My function references an XML array of thumbnails, which trigger movieclips to load into the FLVPlayback depending on which thumbnail is clicked.

So I'm following a game tutorial to help me build a small game for a class and I'm getting an error I'm not sure about or how to fix. Basically at this point all I'm trying to do is generate an array of meteors that will go across the screen, there's still a ways to go on this but at this point when I test my file I get:#1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert Meteor$ to flash.display.DisplayObject.at SpaceGame/checkForHit()

This appeared as I was trying to use a mouseEvent to move an object.I placed the variables for mouseX and mouseY in the public class. I did the same for direction X and Y but there was no error message for those.

I have created a timeline with visibility button against each column. The timeline.swf is loaded into two empty movieclips to create a two-screen operation. Everything works fine except, I cannot for the life of me get the visibility button on the first swf to affect the visibility for the column on the second swf.

I am building little games never anything too big. I'm having fun. I'm getting the following error message 1067: Implicit coercion of a value of type String to an unrelated type flash.display:DisplayObject.
It's got to do with the varObject variable I pass into the hitTestObject (at the end of the code) a. I exported the moveclip for actionscript and gave it an instance name so what's the problem???

So for instance, I've got three .as files called 'Helicopter.as, Game.as, Blue.as'
and I also have a .fla file called Helicopter.fla (These files are all suppose to link together, to make the helicopter game) . In the Game.as file, I have the following;
[Code]....
Flash doesn't recognise the original Helicopter symbol (in the Helicopter.fla file, because I deleted it). But I want the system to detect the 'circle' drawn using API (In the Helicopter.as file). And I have no idea how to how to name the API drawn circle 'Helicopter', thus I'm getting an error. So how do I name the API circle to 'Helicopter', so the Game.as file recognises it.

I would like to be able to quickly check if a given DisplayObject is a descendant (not in the inheritance sense - ie. child, grandchild, great-grandchild, great-great-grandchild, etc.) of another DisplayObject. There doesn't seem to be a native way to do this and I can only think of two ways to achieve it: Create the mother of all nested loops. Seems a bit, I dunno, wrong? Dispatch a bubbling event at the 'child' and check if the potential 'parent' receives it.

A swf (my game framework) loads another swf (a game). The game is loaded into a child domain which seems to be the default domain for loaded swfs.
The framework listens for custom events bubbling up from the game. However, the framework only receives events dispatched directly from the games document class but not from any of the games children.
Bubbling is set to true on everything, but it's not working? Is it only possible to dispatch events from the document class of the loaded swf.
swf(Framework -> listen) -> swf(game document root -> child) = no go!

When I try to access the uncaughtErrorEvents dispatcher when loaded directly, everything works well. But when I try the same code when loaded by another swf I get a reference error.

EDIT: Also have tried this with stage.loaderInfo, instead of just loaderInfo.

I 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.

I have tried this a dozen different ways and I really am at my wits end.
I have a presentation that works like a powerpoint. Everything is working as it should, except one part. I have a movie clip with an instance named slides, and I want to actively display which frame number you are in this move clip.
I have tried more than one why but I see no reason why this should not work:
var frameNum:Number = this.slides.currentFrame;
this.frameText.text = "P�quina " + frameNum + " de 173";
It appears to work at first, but does not update when I navigate the slides. It constantly says 1. Before I just added a function to the back and next buttons to frameNum++ and frameNum--, but after I created the Menu I would prefer it to automatically detect what frame it is on.

Is there any way to display the playback progress of an external loaded .swf file BUT it is not made with timeline animation? I mean I used TweenMax for the animation on the loaded .swf and due to this the totalFrames method doesn't seem to work... Is there any solution for this? (I would prefer not to transform the .swf as an .flv cause I need the interactivity)
Part of my code so far is:
Code:
function swfLoaded(event:Event):void
{
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, trackPlayback);
}

What I'm trying to do is get the total bytes of all the files I want to load and display the percentage loaded of total bytes and bytes loaded of all the files. Its a slideshow so i want all the files loaded and then it will play. I've looked at bulk-loader but it wasn't what I needed. The image are loaded from an xml file. I think I would need to create an Array and then find out the total bytes but I don't know how to reference the loader in the progress.

I'm currently working on a site that is a mixture of Dreamweaver and Flash. I have some Flash movies that are in DIVs in DW. I need to have some links in those Flash movies that can control visibility of other DIVs. In other words I need a link in the Flash movie to work like DWs Show-Hide Elements feature. Is this even possible? I'm using DW CS3 but Flash MX 2004.

I have a situation where my main SWF file loads many external SWF files. However, those external SWF files are just sitting in the public folder of the web server. Is it possible to restrict the SWF visibility to only my main SWF file (the one that loads the external SWFs). In the current state, any user who knows where to look can just type in the URL and get to the SWFs, not to mention rogue bots that don't follow robots.txt.The reason for this is very simple. Users user a username/password to log into the main Flash application and the main Flash application in turn loads the SWF files and ONLY then they are available to the user. Also, depending on who the logged in user is, some SWF files are restricted and not loaded.
