Flash :: Accessing Uza's Global Object From A Loaded External Swf?
Mar 4, 2010
I am using the 1.2 version of Uza's Global singleton (http://www.uza.lt/codex/as3-global-object/). The container swf stores some data and a link to a function in the "global" object.
Then another swf is loaded inside the container, it gets it's global instance with Global.getInstance();, and i suppose i can access the data and function stored in global by the container swf.
This works perfectly on localhost served by a webserver, but when i put the files on my external production server the loaded swf's global appears to not have anything stored by the container.
I'm trying to access a global variable in an external swf. I'm loading the external swf like this. myLoader.loadClip(game, 2);
I'm running a main loop that repeatedly checks certain variables. The variables that are not global I am able to access in the following fashion: _level2._root.variable;
But I can't seem to access the global variables in the external swf. Things I've tried: _level2._global.var; _level2._root.var; _global._level2.var; _global.var;
How do I get to the MovieClips within an externally loaded Movie Clip. Lets say I have a movie Called ONE in the swf I just loaded. How can I work with it alpha, position and other properties of the children of this clip? CODE IN MAIN TIMLINE:
[Code]...
Now its loaded I want to change the postino of the clip called ONE in the movie LoadedMC I just created.
I am using a zoom component which i purchased recently to load different external swfs on different button clicks. But instead of loading separate external swfs I would like to load a single swf and go to frame labels - "one", "two", etc. - I've been reading about casting the external swf as a movie clip, but I am confused how this would work with the code I have at the moment.
var image:String="introlocal.swf"; function loadContent () { var myLoader:Loader = new Loader();
I'm trying to load data from an external textfile, called "config_flash.txt". It works perfectly if applying the fetched data is done within the same function where the loading is done. However, I would like to use the fetched variables in other parts of the script.
Here's what works:
Actionscript Code: var varLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader(new URLRequest("config_flash.txt"));varLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,
[code]...
So, basically I want the variables/values defined inside the function to be available anywhere in the script. The error that the second code snippet causes is as follows: "1120: Access of undefined property text1/text2".
I'm trying to check for an external swf file being loaded using event.target.name=="pubResCHETNA" and currentFrame == second frame of scrollPaneGroup movieclip (the scrollPaneGroup movieclip is from a external loaded swf file)
Here is my code: var currentSWF:MovieClip= new MovieClip(); currentSWF = MovieClip(loader.content); if(event.target.name=="pubResCHETNA" && ?????? ) How should I place the condition over here? { fCbtn.buttonMode=true; fCbtn is a movieclip reside in second frame of scrollPaneGroup movieclip of "pubResCHETNA.swf". }
I have a Main.fla (with Main.as as document class) that calls the external SWF (which has its own document class too)
ActionScript Code: function startLoad() { mLoader = new Loader();
[Code]....
Another question. Is it possible to do some kind of listener? Example, I call this external swf, and if the user press a button inside this external swf, this button triggers the listener on the Main.as? Something like running an external mini game, and wait for the results/hiscore.
The only problem is it can't "see" myGlobals. I was wondering if someone could tell me why it can't see it! I'm sure it has something to do with scope.
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 :
I have a button in a movie that I want to set a global variable to a new value when clicked. I want it to access a parameter of a movie clip that this same button loads onto the movie for the new global variable value. I have the final line under this button's onrelease script with something like this:
globalvariable1 = movieclip.parameter;
Everything is on level 0 and I've tried prefixing everything with _root. but it didn't make a difference, the global variable still wasn't changed. I'm a newbie so don't laugh if this is a really dumb question!
I try access to (MySWF(movieClip)).id but I get a weird message error: 1120: Access of undefined property aslider Which is defined in MySWF.init. If I remove (MySWF(movieClip)).id program works perfect! Isn't this weird especially as I have added addEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE, init); in MySWF constructor to ensure that aslider is on the stage.
In main: private var idMySWF:int; public function loadMySWF(event:MouseEvent) { idMySWF = 1; var myLoader:Loader = new Loader(); myLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, loadComplete); [Code] .....
I am trying to access a button inside an external swf file that I loaded. Problem is every time I try to access this button I get an error saying that it's null!
Here is my code:
public class DocumentClass extends Sprite { public var loader:Loader; public var swfFile:URLRequest;
[Code].....
Now this should work, code-wise I think its correct. The problem is that loader cant find the required button. There is indeed a button in the loaded movieClip with an instance name of "button", I double checked that.
[URL] basically i was just a layer too high and this is why i couldn't access anything..
I have a document class which links to several classes, one of which adds a container onto the stage and loads external .swf's into it.Q: How do I access the various classes loaded in the document class from the external swf timeline?For instance, when you click a button in the loaded swf it changes the soundtrack from the soundtrack class. I have tried dispatchevent from the external swf timeline, but I still can't seem to get it to work. Is this supposed to work, or should I be doing something different?
I am a bit stuck here for the past few days. I have a SWF running in Security.LOCAL_TRUSTED sandbox. I can load my JPEGs and simple SWFs without any problems
I have two SWFs: a Loader SWF, and a Loaded SWF. I need to add the Loaded SWF to the display hierarchy, but I don't want to give it free access to the stage. It may, for instance, attempt to change the scaleMode, and I don't want that to happen. What are some good methods for restricting loaded content's access to the stage? I may, for instance, want to allow it to access the stageWidth and stageHeight, but not the scaleMode or align.
Additional Constraints. I can't change anything about the Loaded SWF. Both SWFs are in the local-with-file-system sandbox. These SWFs are both Flash Player 10, ActionScript 3, made in Flash Professional. Not AIR, not Flex. I'd love to be able to implement a proxy class or a getter to somehow intercept calls to the stage, but I don't believe there is any way to.
I don't believe, for example, that you can subclass the Stage class and use that subclass in place of the normal Stage object referenced by the stage property in all MovieClips. The stage property is read-only, so it can't be cross-scripted by the Loader to point to something different.
I have a HTML page that contains a flash file and some a JavaScript function that returns the object of the flash file.So far I can call the JavaScript function from C# and have it return an Object, but I want to cast it as AxShockwaveFlash and access the COM Object directly from C#.I have seen this done with Windows Media Player imbedded in the a HTML page, but it doesn't seem to work with flash.[code]When I try to cast the Object to AxShockwaveFlash it fails, but I have seen it work casting the object to WindowsMediaPlayer.I tried to find if AxShockwaveFlash supports QueryInterface calls, as per the error message but Google returned nothing of value.
I'm using FlashDevelop as IDE and I'm trying to connect to AMF3 service (amfphp) and get user details.I can connect to AMF service with this code in AMFinit() function...
private function AMFinit():void{ AMFService.objectEncoding = ObjectEncoding.AMF3; AMFService.connect(AMFServiceURL); AMFService.addEventListener(NetStatusEvent.NET_STATUS, netStatusHandler);
[code]....
But to use outside the AMF_MyUserInfo() function I want to copy that "res" object to another object. I tried with specifing an object in Class and set res to this object in AMF_MyuserInfo() function with "this.myobject = res" but it didn't work.
I also tried "this.myobject.username = res.username" but it didn't work also. how can I use this res object globally or in AMFinit() function?
So I am writing a program which uses Dictionary to store objects. For example
var dictionary:Dictionary=new Dictionary(); var myObject = new myObject(var1, var2, var3); dicionary["key"]=myObject;
where var1, var2, and var3 are simply means of assigning values to variables in myObject.can I access values or functions that are found in myObject? In myObject class I have some getters and setters. Can I use a getter to get the value of var1 for example.
If a variable is declared in a movie as global (_global). Is this variable available to a movie which loads this movie via LoadMovie()? i.e. parentMovie loads childMovie.swf
I want to dynamically load the graphic of the button into an mc inside each frame of the button (up and over). Inside each frame I have a movie clip (canvas and canvas_over). The green box is the button object (header_btn):
This is my code: var hLoader:Loader = new Loader(); hLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, hLoaded); hLoader.load(new URLRequest("[URL]")); function hLoaded(event:Event):void { [Code] ..... It would be nice though if as3 allowed for buttons to contain objects.
I'm wondering if it's possible to access a shared object's data (once it's been changed) without reloading the swf. Specifically, I have two swfs: one changes the data in the so and lets the second swf "know" via a localconnection. I have a function in the second swf that fires via the local connection.[code]This function looks for the new value however it doesn't show the updated value in my textfield unless I refresh the browser. Thoughts?
I spent almost a week trying to figure out how to unload a currently loaded swf using its button and loading a new swf... I have three files, a main.fla, file1.fla and file2.fla. In my main.fla, I have a code which loads the other two files. If i will click the "unload" button in the file1.swf, I would like the main.fla to unload the file1.swf and load the other file, file2.swf. Here is the code to load the file1.swf:
I have an object named "Defer" that I need to access. That object only exists in frame 2 of a movie clip named: B2_mc. The other 4 frames of the movie clip B2_mc do not contain the "Defer" object. When I try to access "Defer" with the following code:
Defer.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, B2Redd); function B2Redd(event:MouseEvent):void{ B2_mc.gotoAndStop(4); }
The .swf doesn't run and the error message says I'm attempting to access an undefined property. I've never tried to access an object that wasn't on the stage, so I know my syntax is wrong for trying to access "Defer" since it's not on the stage. What's the correct syntax for drilling down to an object that may be buried deep somewhere?
What I should do is parse an xml and from its node name create object property and then create an object array based on those property. Am I able to make myself clear.
Background: I have a project where i need to create multiple objects that consume the same base calss from an external .as file. each of the individual fla files that consume the base class need to pass a variable to the base class so the class can return information specific to the fla.
My question is,if i have an external class path set up, how do i get a variable on the first frame of the movie to be visible to the base class && how do i call upon its value from within the class.
I'm making this thread because I have searched in google for how to make a "global library". I'm sure this is not what it's called but i couldnt think of another way to search. If I start a new project and I want to bring in objects from other projects should I be going to "open external library"? I imagine that an external library is global. While i'm waiting for replies i'll look up how to make an external library.
I have 2 classes, Display holds the currently selected Component:
public class Display { public static var selectedComponent:Component; }
Component has an ID string and the selectedComponent variable is set on click:
public class Component extends MovieClip { public var id:String; addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, function() {
[Code]...
Removing the selectedComponent variable type so it reads public static var selectedComponent; removes the conversion error and seems to change the ID variable but it appears to only be a copy of the object.
