On the stage I have a movieclip by the name of rect_mc. Inside it have have a MovieClip sqaure_mc.
In the time line that I get when I double click on rect_mc (timeline of rect_mc) I have written the following code
var width1:Number;
width1 = sqaure_mc.width;
How can I access width1 from the document class?

How can I access width1 from the document class?The thing that I want to is access the variable declared (width1) in the timeline of rect_mc. Just for the sake of a example only I choose the width of MovieClip.My doubt is how can access a variable declared inside the timeline of rect_mc from the document class. It could be any variable.My document class is:
package
{
import flash.display.MovieClip[code]....
I work with FlashDevelop, Flex SDK and FP10 debug. I am able to access a local variable (xcorner) which is never declared before, at the condition that it must be declared after... in an "if" for instance. If I remove the declaration of xcorner, within the if, errors occur at compilation, but otherwise it works.
PHP Code:
public function pushShape2Pool(name:String, sh:Shape, rotAngle:Number = 0):int{
[...]
// xcorner is NEVER declared before !!!
coordSprites[0] = new Rectangle(xcorner, 0, globalBmp.width, globalBmp.height);
trace("xcorner=" + xcorner); // display 0
xcorner += globalBmp.width;

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 have a variable declared in alchemy asm:
asm("var buffer:Vector.<Number> = new Vector.<Number>(100, true);");
i can populate it with data like so:
asm("buffer[%0] = %1;" : : "r"(index) : "r"(value));
what i can't figure out is how to get a reference of that asm "buffer" variable into actionscript.
(i did think of one way... what i did was to throw the "buffer" from alchemy asm, and then catch it in actionscript, but unfortunately it seems to leak a lot of memory).
is there a better alternative to doing this?
note that performance is critical, and using default alchemy marshaling is way too slow.
I was thinking about how to streamline my code the other day and looked through my classes checking for possible memory leaks. I wonder when are variables declared inside of methods clear for garbage collection? or are they not and just hang around? For instance if I have a class like this:
[Code]...
Since the variable was declared without reference into the class how long does it stay in Flash's memory, or does it stay indefinitely because it cannot be nullified?
ActionScript Code:
package
{
//import ....
//First Class
[code]....
A seemingly trivial problem, however, the variable "code" 's value would not change! Note: I've tried to add parameters to the constructor of B, as a way to use B, but I had error of " #1063 - Expected 1 , Received 0" for that one even though I've added parameters to it.
ok so lines 2 and 3 are not real code. Im an old AS2 designer guy trying to learn to code all in the first frame. So how can I see if my var is set and leave it alone if it is?

I have a problem accessing a variable which is to store a frame label. Code has been shortened to relevant parts. The following is on the main timeline.
PHP Code:
stop();var nextSection:String = "";buttonContainer.aboutUs.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, moveButtonsForContent);function moveButtonsForContent (evt:MouseEvent):void {if
[code]....
I have a movieclip called "sections" which loads different sections of the website.When the first section is clicked thencontainerCenter is true and the evt.target.name is loaded in to the nextSection variable.Now if a 2nd section is clicked then containerCenter is false. It plays the sections movieclip. Within that movieclip it will eventually play and come to the following script:
PHP Code:
gotoAndPlay(nextSection);
For some reason it won't pick up the variable "nextSection" within the movieclip. I'm getting the error message "Access of undefined property nextSection". It has no problem when it is in the main timeline.I know you can't access a variable declared inside a function, but I have it declared outside the function as you can see above. I've just amended the variable from within the function.
how come i can't access a movieclip when i declare it as a variable? (note : this code is not the real code, so please ignore the syntax errors)

receives the variables (specified in a later function) and traces them all right, but refuses to deposit the variable thumbClip in the x and y coordinates being specified?
I replaced thumbClip with a specific movie clip, and the fucntion worked perfectly. Does this mean Flash cannot use variables to set the x and y coords to?

I am a beginner in Flash development and I was just recently assigned to fix an old Flash project at my work. Essentially, the application is a video booth whereby users can record up to 60s of video via their webcam and then share it either via email, twitter, or facebook. When the application is started, a video ID is generated, and that is used as the video's file name when it is streamed and saved to the server. I am sure there is a better way to do this, but the way I came up with is to grab that video ID and pass it to the "Share" page as a URL variable, and then use that to access and share the video from the server. How I can access the video ID from the button that is sending the user to the "Share" page.

View 2 Repliesaccessing swfObject variable within Flash...
View 3 RepliesI want to find out whether my swf was loaded locally or from another swf. For this purpose I have declared a variable 'parentType' in my fla. var parentType:String = String(parent); There is a function in the document class that determines whether swf was loaded locally or from another swf. The name of the function in the document class is 'externalOrInternal'. The varaible parentType is passed as a parameter to the function externalOrInternal externalOrInternal(parentType); The name of the document class is Main. In the constructor of Main I have the function pollResize() (the use of this function is to listen for the resizing event. That part of the code is not shown in the snippet given below).
[Code]...
I see that swfParentType is has value insde the function externalOrInternal. My doubt is why null is traced inside the function pollResize. Why is it not [object Stage] as inside externalOrInternal. Due to this I am not able proceed further with the stage resizing event.What needs to be done so that proper value is traced in the function pollResize.
I am trying to do is declare a variable in PHP and pass that variable to my flash file. Right now i am simply trying to do 1 easy variable, more will happen in the future but i need to figure this out first.I have used other forums and they say try this and that, but nothing i do seems to work. here is my 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 the need to change a variable in a child Flash file.
The setup is a parent Flash file, that has called a child Flash, and placed it in a movieClip.
I can send a variable using Javascript to the parent Flash file, but not directly to the child Flash file. Is there a way that I can access the child Flash file directly with Javascript?
Or do I need to send the variable to the parent Flash file, and then have the parent send the variable to the child Flash file? Is there a sort of dot notation that I can use with Javascript to get to the child Flash file without first accessing the parent, when the child is added to the parent using the loadClip function in flash?
Scene 1, Layer 'auto button', Frame 1.The instance name 'semisideview' is declared on an object of type flash.display.SimpleButton but there is a conflicting use of the instance name 'semisideview' on an object of type flash.display.MovieClip.
