Flash - Accessing A Button Inside A Loaded Swf File?
Dec 28, 2011
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.fla.
- A.fla includes buttons, movie clips and also B.swf is loaded in A.fla using a LOADER
- i want to access elements in A.fla, from the actionscript codes inside B.fla to modify those movie clips and buttons based on actions going on in B.swf
for instance, lets say there is a button X in A.fla, and there is a button Y in B.fla, B.swf is loaded into A.fla, and I want the button Y to erase button X when clicked.
general question: accessing elements in a stage, through a SWF file loaded into that stage.

I'm writing a card game in AS3. The artist I'm working with has produced (in Flash CS4) a single swf-file containing all the card graphics and animations. The structure of the fla working file looks something like this:
- Scene
- CardGraphics (Movie Clip)
- CardFront
- CardBack
- CardValueImage (Movie Clip)
In the program I create 52 instances of my Card class, each having a MovieClip instance created from the loaded swf. The idea is to set the frame of the CardValueImage MovieClip to correspond to the Card instance's suit and rank member variables. However, I can't figure out how I access CardValueImage and call gotoAndStop (or whatever method I will need to call).

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 running into an error accessing a movieclip from a loaded swf. Inside of my loadedMovie.swf file, I have a movie with the instance name of "bg". I want to change the width of that to movie clip when it is loaded into the parent movie but I'm getting an error saying "Access of possibly undefined property bg through a reference with static type flash.display:Loader."
Code: Select all/* ---------- LOADER ---------- */
var myLoader: Loader = new Loader();
myLoader.load(new URLRequest("loadedMovie.swf"));

In my game currently I have a series of UILoaders which can be set to load a specific swf file inside the larger one. What Im trying to do is manipulate the 'child' swf file from the parent- in particular use the goToAndPlay() function. Im pretty sure Ive seen the solution before but I cant find it now.
How make the connection from the UILoader class to its contents as a movieClip?

how to build a button inside a movieclip. I have a template that has movieclips within movieclips, and when I create a button (all using AS2) the button will work if I test the scene, but in the whole flash movie it does not work. I also have some buttons located inside a ScrollPane that also do not call correctly.
For my button I am using this code:
facebookbtn.on (release) {
getURL("http://www.facebook.com/","_blank","GET");
}
[Code]....
^ This also does not work, with or without the button name before on(release).

I have a movie called crime_scene.swf that is loaded onto another swf.
Code:
this.createEmptyMovieClip("myContainer", 1);
var mclListener:Object = new Object();
mclListener.onLoadInit = function(target_mc:MovieClip)
[Code]....
It seems like it's not working. I tried just myContainer.evi_1.onRelease and _level1.evi_1 but nothing seems to work.

I have created a button symbol in the library that includes adynamic text instance called labelTxt. I've then dragged this ontothe stage to form several buttons called "btn1", "btn2" etc.I want to be able to change the contents of the text on thebuttons dynamically, but I am getting quite a few errors whiletrying to set the text.I have tried using (for example)btn1.labelTxt.text=myString but am getting errors saying that the property isn't defined.uote:1119: Access of possibly undefined property labelTxt througha reference with static type flash.display:SimpleButton.would skin a Button and use that but there are 3 quitedifferent styles (skins) of buttons on this particular chart, andI'm not sure how to do that with Buttons. And I keep thinking theremust be some easy way to access the labelTxt dynamic text in thebuttons I have created.

I need help applying the color transform function to a movie clip that exists inside of a button. I want to keep the button a button (as opposed to making it a movie clip as well with onclick and hover handlers) as I already have behaviors built into it and would rather not recreate it. I have the path to the object
[Code]...
Can anyone tell me how to use the colorTransform function on Movie Clips inside of buttons. Is there another way to indicate this path? I am using CS4 and actionscript 3.

I have the following problem when loading a swf file. I have content.swf file located at [URL]. The contetn.swf access a file settings.xml located in the same dir. I load it like this:
_settingsURLRequest = new URLRequest( "settings.xml" );
_settingsLoader = new URLLoader();
_settingsLoader.load( _settingsURLRequest );
Now I have another file loader.swf located at another domain [URL]. The loader.swf file loads content.swf but content.swf search for the settings file at domain2 not domain1. I know that I can use absolute address when loading the settings file but I'm loading a lot of files and I prefer another solution. Is there a way to specify that content.swf should always search for settings.xml in its own domain no matter the fact that its being loaded from onother file in onother domain?

in (swfA.fla) I have this code in frame1
var module1:Loader = new Loader();
var admin = new MovieClip();
addChild(admin);
[Code]....
(my thought here is that 'admin' contains swfB.swf?) - this would seem very simple... but it...
...does not work and gives me this [seriously unhelpful] error:
TypeError: Error #1010: A term is undefined and has no properties.

I am creating a web page that allows users to upload their own swf files to my web page, which are then used by the main web page as components. This creates a security issue though because I don't want the uploaded swf files to access other files on the server.
when the main webpage starts, it loads whatever third party swf files the user specifies. Is there a way for my main web page to change the security settings of the loaded swf so that the loaded swf is treated like it was loaded from another domain? Or is there another way I can provent these uploaded swfs from accessing local files on the server.

Is there a way to call a function inside a loaded SWF file?
Basically, I have a .swf file (A) that loads another .swf file (B)...I would just like to treat B as if it was any other instance added to my class .swf "A"...
Have to recast "Loader" with the name of your .swf file class:
Loaded .swf class:
package src {
import flash.display.MovieClip;
public class LoadedSWF extends MovieClip {

My header is an mc with buttons that load swf's into a main content mc with this:on (release) { loadMovie("myswf.swf", _root.holder); and that works perfectly (content loads into mc with no page refresh).But..one of my loaded swf's has the same button code on a button to load swf's into the same mc and I get a page refresh.

I'm using the preloader like the one rhamej posted here:[URL]The part of the code I need help with is as follows:
[AS]
//fire the MovieClipLoader and attach the listener to it
var container1:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
container1.addListener(mclListener);
[code]....
I realize the code is wrong. I wondered if it was possible after loading an external .swf ("1_movie.swf") within the container, if you could then press a button (enter_button) located within the external .swf ("1_movie.swf") , and use the preloader code to load another external .swf on release ("tree20.swf"). I'm having trouble because the preloader code is in the main timeline of my main flash file ("index.fla"), and I don't know how to make the preloader code recognize the button located within the external .swf, and use it to load another external .swf within the same movie clip.

Okay I have this problem and I can't for the life of me figure out what's wrong. Here is an outline of what is happening:1. I have a movie clip that contains two components, a combo box and a check box.2. The combo box has the instance name "comboBox", and the check box has the instance name "checkBox".3. The movie clip is exported for actionscript with the identifier "test".4. I run the following code:
[AS]
attached = _root.attachMovie("test","componentContainer", 1);
attached.comboBox.addItem("A", 1);[/AS]

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 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);

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 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.
