I am running a loop to pull thumbs into a containing movieclip from an xml list. What I want to do is have the thumb's parent movieclip fade in after they are done loading, but I can't figure out how to reference the parent once it's loaded.My code(which currently doesn't work the way I want it):
var vsThumb:articleBox;
var currentarticleX:Number = 0;
var articleLinkURL:String;

How do i pass a variable to a function from an event listener which is inside a function Below is a function that is called when after loading some variables
function dataOK(mydataevent:Event):void{
var j:int = 0;
do {
trace(j);
[Code]....
This is a simplified version of the original code. The above function generates an error because j is undefined in the function. I am wanting to get the variable j when the button is pressed.
How do I pass the variable j to the Button_Click function?
I COMPLETELY MESSED UP MY CODE AND DID NOT CHANGE THE MOVIECLIP NAMES WHEN COPING IT INTO STACKOVERFLOW. SO IT MADE NO SENSE.
I am wondering if there is a better way to accomplish the following as3:
//THREE EVENT LISTENERS
shoe_icon.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, shoeApp);
top_icon.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, topApp);

I'm using an HTTP request to download a image in binary format. When the downloading is complete, I want to process it, but I also want to pass the image's ID to the complete handler function.

I am attempting to build a generic XMLLoader class with a static LOAD method, with the intent to use it as follows...
private var _data:XML = XMLLoader.LOAD("path/to/xml_file.xml");
Then I could use it in any client and go-to-town with e4x.
The general problem I am having is with the URLLoader's COMPLETE event, which necessarily calls a different function to set the XML data.This is preventing me from being able to return the XML from the LOAD method, since the data is being set outside that function. Obviously I need to wait for the COMPLETE event in order to make sure the data is available.
I though, perhaps, I could create and return a _waitForData function, which recursively calls itself until the _data is set, then returns the data. But it seems redundant (since Event.COMPLETE is doing that anyway), and the way I tried it generates a stack overflow error.[code]...
So, I'm trying to load resources, add them to a dictionary, and have a drawing method search through that dictionary and draw based on certain predicates. I have a function that iterates through an Vector of Strings, calling on an instance of Loader to load them instantiated as a URLRequest.
private function loadImages(urls:Vector.<String>):void
{
var loader:Loader = new Loader();
[Code].....
So the issue is: Only the first images in my Vector are drawing. Upon further inspection, I found that the completeHandler was only being called once (I put a trace in the complete handler to check). However, the Loader is invoking load everytime the loop iterates. I tried instantiating separate loaders for each resource, just to see if it would work, but I had no luck with that. Do I need to make separate loaders and event handlers? Or am I just not using Loader correctly?
I am trying to create an event listener to check that a function has completed before the next action is run. In simple terms I have a module that is opened and closed via two functions... module_open() and module_close().Each function has tween elements that must complete before the next element is processed... i.e the next function, etc.This is the code I have ( have attempted to create an event listener but I seem doing something wrong. I am not even sure that it is possible to create an event listener that checks for a function finishing before calling the next function.
Code:
function onAbout(event:Event):void {
module_close()
module_close.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onClose_Complete);

I have created a class named XMLclass and inside that class there is a function named returnFillColor.The function looks like this:
Code:
public function returnFillColor(XMLchild:uint):String{
var xmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
var xmlData:XML = new XML();
[code]....
When i call this function from my main class, it returns nothing because the XML wasn't done loading. I've double-checked this by adding addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE) outside the function.Is there any way to return data from the xml-file with just one function?(like adding event.Complete to the returnFillColor-function)
i am trying to return an XML object, but having issues. The object is only created via an Event.complete function. I need to return the XML created from my loadXML function via my grabXMLfromFile function.
Code:
function grabXMLFromFile(attrPathToXML:String):XML {
var fileUrl:String = attrPathToXML;
var myUrlRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest(fileUrl);

i'm loading in multiple images using the same loader using a for loop. what i'm trying to figure out is how can i tell when the first 4 images are loaded. is there away to attach and index to each loader and then get it from the event in the on complete function? below is the code i'm using:
[Code]...
I am having an issue with a class I'm working on. I currently load an image as a bitmap and store its data into regState:BitmapData so that I may make new instances of that image later on. When I test if I can use the loaded data at a later time with my newBitmapIntance() function, it says that regState is null. I'm lost as to why this is the case, since it works flawlessly to create an instance of itself in my loadContent() function.
Class so far For reference:
package {
import flash.display.MovieClip;

I headed some problem which can't solve. It's simple. I'm making slideshow, and wanna pictures to be dynamically loaded. List of images is stored in list.xml - a valid xml file. Now, here is piece of the code:
var imgno :Number ; //the var which tells the number of images listed in list.xml
var myXML:XML;
var myLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
[Code]....
So, the triggered function processXML cannot change value of any variable which stands out of her. Is there a way to export (in this case) information about amount of images listed in list.xml to some of the variables that I can use later (for example imgno).
I made a test where I download a file using URLLoader - something like this:
[Code]....
in the middle of the downloading process I physically disconnect the internet connection. the download stalls - but after aproximately 30 seconds downloadSuccessful is invoked, although only half of the data was downloaded. how can I make sure that the data to be downloaded is complete and correct?
I am loading in binary files with the url class which can be quite large 10mb + and it works fine on my server but another server I am testing on it can sometimes not work. Sometimes it will not load the file and other times it will only load about 20% and it throw a complete event??? Then of course other times it works fine. This server is https maybe that has something to do this it?

how I can pass a variable calculated in a function, to the stage.
View 9 RepliesIs there any way that you can pass a string to a function and use its value as the variable name you wish to change. For example.
Code:
var text:String = "Goodbye World";
function myfunction ( varToChange)
{
varToChange = "Hello World";
}
myfunction("text")
I was just wondering if it's possible to pass a variable from one swf to a function on another swf?
I have 2 containers on my main stage, each one loads an external swf, I want one to send a variable to a function in the other container.
I simply tried calling the function by doing _root.container2.fncTest("works"); just to see if it works
and in container2 I have
Code:
function fncTest(test):Void {
myText = test; //dynamic text box on the stage
}
but that didn't seem to work.. Do I have to make the function public or that only works for classes?

I have an external log file which name changes each session, with the format XXXXX.log
I need to load it inside a swf to show its data, but each time the logs name is different, I need to open the .fla, changing the name of the file and then republishing the swf.
So I have made a simple script to load another .txt, to type manually in it the 5 number of the logs name and load it externally inside the swf:
Code:
var logNumLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
logNumLoader.dataFormat=URLLoaderDataFormat.VARIABLES;
logNumLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, loadedLogNum);
[Code]....
While I cannot assign the value of logNum to the last function, the .log cannot be opened.
