Flash :: Accessing A Variable In The First Frame Via An External Action Script File
Dec 12, 2011
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 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.
Here is the code:
var nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
var ns:NetStream;
var cam:Camera;
var mic:Microphone;
var vidId:String = configName();
function tracer(p_s) {
[Code] .....

I have a .swf file. From there I use a MovieClip witch is associated with a class. The information is inside of a separate .as file. On Runtime i create several instances of this object. This all works. Now I would like to let functions inside of th .as file give access to variables set in the action layer on frame 1 where i handle the code that is associated with the .swf file. Or the other way around. Is there a way to manage this communication?

I have an animation and i want a variable to eb set to false once it is done. I was currently using the statement below when i simply used addChild(name); to add it.
MovieClip(this.parent).hero.landing = false;
However i now changed that statement to gamelevel.addChild(name); and the above statement no longer works properly, it changes the variable to false, but it resets immediately after. How do i reference this properly?

I have a 20 frame movieclip (named mc), and by default the playhead is stopped at frame 0 of that movieclip. At frame 10 I have a movieclip instance there named "apple". Now I want to tell mc to go to frame 10, and immediately access "apple" movieclip. This is what I do (from the main timeline):
mc.gotoAndStop(10);
trace(mc.apple);
It prints out null (appled is undefined). However, when I put a timer (say of 5 milliseconds) before calling the trace statement, then it works and can access apple. I don't want to rely on timers, since the timer duration depends on different circumstances. At the same time, I do not want to put code anywhere except the first frame of the main timeline.

I searched for external SWF and got 500+ results but i couldnt see what i needed.Lets say you have a basic SWF file which contains a ball whose instance name is ball.Is it possible to load this SWF and access ball by name?The issue i have is that lets say you have 12 different heads... I need to load these heads in when required.. but each head.swf has a sprite called skinColor. need my main movie to have access to the skin layer sprite so i can Tween it. SWFs have much more details, but the skin sprite is on the bottom layer... so i cant just "color tween" the entire SWF.

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;

I have a main website witch has a photo gallery, in an album for example I have 5 photos in thumbnail mode, I created an independent slide show in SWF called genova.swf where I have inside the 5 high res. photos found as thumbnail in the main website, and I used the following script to call it :
var mcLoader:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
mcLoader.addListener(this);
function onLoadInit(mc:MovieClip) {
mc.close_btn.onRelease = function() {
[Code]....
I would like to have an action script that permits me to click on a thumbnail and to load the genova.swf to a specific frame, that way if the user need to see immediately photo #3 without having to cycle through photo #1 and #2
he would click on the thumbnail photo #3 in the main website and the genova.swf will popup at image 3 from the slideshow.

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.

Code:
_root.navigationMC.onPress = function() {
startPreload("blue.swf");
}
If I wanted to change an action from a button click to a frame-based action, what do I use instead of onPress? The hints from the AS editor are all click-based.

I have a .txt file with 10 variables containing 10 sentences. The variables are named myText1, myText2, myText3, etc.
I want to be able to load one of these sentences at random into a dynamic text box.
My plan was to generate a random number i and concatonate it to the variable name (ie myText + i) then call that in a LoadVars.
However, I am not able to properly reference it.

Instead of posting my entire files and such, I'll make a brief example of my situation and my desired outcome.My files consist of my document class entitled Engine.as and another class Abilities.as all within the same folder.On my stage I have a MovieClip with the instance name of item1_mc. On its personal timeline I have 2 frames, one entitled "inactive" and the other "active". Here's a sample of very similar code....
Code:
package
{
import flash.display.MovieClip;
[code]....
How do I access item1_mc? In reality I have 6 different clips and I desire to access much more than frame changes...what's the overall best way to be able to interact with an item placed on the stage via an external .as file that is not the document class?

I'm using flash CS4 and actionscript 2.0. I have a situation where I need to locate and check the date of an external file (either .exe or .swf) and return that date string to a variable in flash. I then need to display that date to a piece of dynamic text within the flash file. Is there a function within action script that will check and retrieve the file date of an external file.
