ActionScript 3.0 :: Custom Loader Class - Loading External SWF In FLA
May 17, 2009I've been trying to figure this out for the past couple of days and couldn't find a solution and Im sure its something I have completely overlooked on my part.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Flash Loading An External Image With A Dynamic / Custom Preloader
Feb 24, 2011How do I use a dynamic preloader [say a circular preloader that I've designed myself and not the ProgressBar preloader] to load an external jpg. Obviously, the jpg would be contained within a movie clip, say, 'imageHolder'. In short, I'd like this dynamic preloader to load the external jpg into the movie clip 'imageHolder' placed within my swf.All that needs to be figured out is how to attach any dynamic preloader to load external pics.[code]

IDE :: Loading External FLV From Custom Playback UI
Feb 15, 2010I'm trying to load an external flv to a flv playback component that is on the FLA timeline. I was able to load external flv and custom skin with AS3.0 but the client wants to have just one swf, not a swf calling another swf for the custom skin. The external flv has to be from the flash vars.
AS code:
root.loaderInfo.parameters.videoPath
html code:
var flashvars = {
videoPath: "hhvideo.flv"
};
Anyway to do this?

View 1 RepliesData Integration :: Loading XML Using A Custom Class And Accessing It From Other Classes?
Aug 30, 2006I began with a class for a movie clip rollover function FigureRollOver. It works marvellously. Three things happen:
1) it loads XML from a file "mod1_fig1.xml" and uses another class, XMLMember, to retool the scoping of the XML so that I can get at it
2) an onload call inside of XMLMember calls the myOnLoad function and transfers the XML into an array.
3) so long as the array is finished building, rolling over a movie clip attaches a new movie clip with the rollover text in it.But I don't want all those functions in one because I need it to be more dynamic, starting with being able to load any old xml file instead of just "mod1_fig1.xml", plus it seems lik overbuilding to have all of that in one class, so I've separated out the loading of the XML and building of the array into its own class, FigureXMLLoader. FigureRollOver is then left to just attach the rollover with text in it, extracted from the array built by the new class.
Problem is, though the array builds inside FigureXMLLoader, I can't figure out how to make it available outside the class. I know that I'm constructing things in the wrong order, and that the array needs to be somehow built inside the class function to be available, but I can't figure out how to do that. A cruddy work-around is to put a function call at the end of the building of the array, which calls yet ANOTHER function on the main timeline of my .swf to put the array I've just built into a new variable.This works, but it's messy. It seems like I should be able to have one line of script in the .swf that generates an array on the main timeline (or just a public array) which I can then access from my FigureRollOver class:
var myRollOvers:Array = new FigureXMLLoader("mod1_fig1.xml");
Here is FigureXMLLoader (see comments in the code for more details) which obviously does not return an array as it is, because of all the working around I've had to do. Note the "testing" variable, which can be traced from the main timeline of the .swf, but I will get "not what I want" because of course the array hasn't been built yet, and never will be, inside of the declaration as it is. How do I get it in there so I can return an array?
ActionScript 3.0 :: Return Data From Custom Class On Complete Loading?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Loading External Swf Which Attached With Its Own External Class?
Jun 27, 2009Lets say I have Main.swf and sub.swf, and I wanna load sub when I press a button from Main, but sub.swf has its own external class file attached, so here is the problem, when I load sub using loader class and I would get this message from the output panel:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.

seems loader class can not access sub.swf's external class when sub is being loaded.
Actionscript 3 :: Loading Swf As Custom Class That Extends MovieClip - Getting Null Object Reference
Aug 16, 2011I followed the example from a previous question and I am loading an external swf using a loader and inside the loader event handler I am trying to cast the loader.content as my custom class PanelReferenceClip which extends MovieClip
When I publish I receive a this error:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
Just to make sure and test that the swf location was correct and the swf was actually being loaded, I changed the type of the content to as MovieClip and it worked fine.
EDIT: I also wanted to add that these swfs are being stored locally and not being pulled across the internet, multiple networks or servers.
I am not sure if I did something quirky in my class so I am providing the source to my custom class PanelReferenceClip
package com.components
{
import com.UI.DevicePanel;
import flash.display.MovieClip;

View 2 RepliesFlex :: Flash - Can No Longer Assign Class Property Values
Nov 1, 2010Given a dynamic or non-dynamic class like the following:
package {
public class MyClass {
public var myProperty:String;
public var myBooleanProperty:Boolean;
public function MyClass() {}
}}
Flex 3 allows you to assign a value to myProperty like this:
myClassInstance["myProperty"] = "myValue";
myClassInstance["myBooleanProperty"] = true;
I regularly parse XML to get property names and their values then update correlated classes using this technique; however, Flex 4 no longer allows assigning the boolean property. I don't have a work-around.
If you trace the results:
trace(myClassInstance.myProperty) // Returns "myValue"
trace(myClassInstance.myBooleanProperty) // Returns null

Actionscript :: Load External Image And Assign To A Symbol In Flash
Nov 22, 2011I have a SWF file used as a banner advertisement but there is a 35kb size limit. My file is just under 60kb, and I won't be able to optimize the images any further. (An early version can be found here:URL...)I was thinking perhaps I could load 2 of my images dynamically?I actually try to stay away from Flash and Actionscript, but had to use it for this advertisement. The animation is built with transitions and symbols in the timeline. That being said I know just enough actionscript to control the timeline / playback but not how to dynaimcally load images, then assign those images to the symbols I use in my animations.Could someone hold my hand for about 5 minutes and give me the dummy 101 on how to dynamically load an image that a symbol will reference?Not a permanent solution, but I discovered that I can make a simple pre-loader swf that has the background, and load the real swf using this simple actionscript code:[code]

Flash - Listener In Main Document Class For Custom Dispatch Event From Another Class Does Not Respond Or Call Function?
Apr 1, 2011I have a document class called Main.as In the class constructor I have the following listener:

enter code here

ThisTellAllModeChangeToStudent.tellAllModeChangeToStudent();
I have trace statements in eveything and from this I know the despatcher in TellAllModeChangeToStudent is being called.The problem is that the listener in the main.as is not calling the function exp.I cant see why and I dont know how to check if the listener is actually seeing the dispatch event?
Actionscript 3 :: Passing Custom Class As Parameter To Custom Class Where Parameter Class Not Constructed?
Jun 16, 2011I have a custom class being constructed from my main class. In the custom class it has another custom class that is passed in as a parameter. I would like to strictly type the parameter variable but when I do, 'the type is not a compile type constant etc'.This, I understand, is because the custom class used as a parameter has not yet been constructed.It all works when I use the variable type ( * ) to type the parameter.I suspect this is a design flaw, in that I am using an incorrect design pattern.It is actually hand-me-down code, having received a large project from someone else who is not entirely familiar with oop concepts and design patterns.
I have considered using a dummy constructor for the parametered class in my main class but the passed in class also takes a custom class (itself with a parametered constructor). I am considering using ... (rest) so that the custom classes' parameters are optional.Is there any other way to control the order of construction of classes? Would the rest variables work?edit)in main.as within the constructor or another function
var parameter1:customclass2;
customclass1(parameter1);

ActionScript 3.0 :: Custom Class Named Same As Flash Class?
Jan 4, 2012I understand it's probably best practice to name your custom classes differently than the built-in AS3.0 classes; however, what kind of problems could I run into if I don't?Specifically, I have a class which, ideally I want to name DataProvider. But, as you know, there is already a DataProvider class on the Flash platform (used for list-based components and such).Now, I don't think I'll ever use BOTH of those classes, so I'm assuming as long as I reference the correct DataProvider class in my import statements I should be ok?What if I DO need to use both, is that even possible?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Loading Class From An External .swf File?
Dec 11, 2009My flash application has lots of resources which will change all the time. In order to keep the the user from having to download my main .swf file over and over again, and in order to keep the main file's size low, I would like to put the resources into separate .swf files and load them dynamically from a url using a Loader.
Once downloaded I would like to extract the classes that are in the resource swf and use them in the main swf. Can anyone share some code for doing this? Note that I am not just interested in using a symbol from the resource swf. I would like to use a class, with all of its methods and everything, and my main swf does not contain the class definition. Only the resource swf does.
