I want a way to pass a string statement from one base class to an other. The two classes are CLICK and READ.What's an easy way to do this? I haven't worked in classes that often to know some of the simple tricks.

I am trying to pass FlashVars into public class EventDispatcher to set the path to data.xml. I need it because the name and path of the xml file will be dynamically created. I need to use Flashvar in order to access the correct path. I was able to pass Flashvar from html page on timeline this way:
PHP Code:
var Flashvars:String = LoaderInfo(stage.loaderInfo).parameters.xmlfile;
Then, I was able to use it for new UrlRequest;
PHP Code:
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest(Flashvars);
This method works really good, but this solution only works on timeline. I need to implement this technique in the class. Before I setup a static var for with the path to xml file. I'd like to be able to get FlashVar withing this class and assign this string to 'public static var DATA_XML_URL:String' I have there. This way I can pass Flashvar to the project I already have.
Below is the class where I can implement it:
PHP Code:
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.events.EventDispatcher;
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.display.LoaderInfo;
import flash.display.MovieClip;

I am using Flash CS5, never touched Flex. Also the SWF that is doing the loading will be a client SWF, so hoping for a solution that could work with a simple couple of lines.
Basically inside the SWF I am working on contains just a simple string:
var theString = "theString";
trace("theString = "+theString);
Now I've been working on a test loader SWF that will load my String SWF and get the variable in the simplest way. Any thoughts? Below is my current broken code:
function loaderComplete(event:Event)
{
trace("... in loaderComplete");
getString = loader.content.toString();

I've got an XML file that I get the URL for my server from and also get the names of videos to populate a list.I can get the URL into a string in my program (it traces fine). when i try to pass that string in my nc.connect(string) it doesn't work. Everything loads fine, but when you click a video, it can't connect to it. If I manually enter the URL into the connect field like this:nc.connect("rtmp://url") it works fine.Why can it take the URL manually entered and not from a string?

I have a class (ImageLoader) that extends Sprite container and loads an external image to its instance. When i instantiate an object of this class from another (Main) class i want to have the dimensions (width, height) of the loaded image being known to this (Main) class. It seems that is difficult for me as the dimensions are known after the image compete loaded. But i don't know how to pass this information from completeHandler event handler to the Main class.

In Flash CSn/AS3 you associate a Main class with a flash file which when loaded in the flash player "automatically creates an instance of the program's main class."I'd like to know how to pass arguments to the main class, since you don't write it yourself (you put its name in the Document textfield in the IDE).

I am really pulling my hair out with this one. Flash game, container swf loads a img using the loader class. The image is the map which will be used on the levels. The problem im having is that I originaly had each level load the map image, convert to a bitmap, and us it to create x and y's for colision detection.
the problem was that the game was loading and sometimes the map image hadent loaded. It also ment that each level was loading the same image and if the above happened on the 3rd, 4th level it was very annoying. So I need a way to load the image in the parent, but have it available to the child, however it must be available as at bitmap to work.

Is there any way that you can pass a string to a function and use its value as the variable name you wish to change. For example.
Code:
var text:String = "Goodbye World";
function myfunction ( varToChange)
{
varToChange = "Hello World";
}
myfunction("text")
I created 4 buttons with 4 animations each, one for each state (using tweens), so I have that imense list of 16 "addEventListeners" (don't know if there's another way to do it). But everything is working as I would like.
The problem is that I'm trying to create only 4 functions to take care of all the 4 buttons and those 16 eventListeners.
This is part of my AS3 file (still with the "traces", 5 secs of animation to check the animations and all).

So, I want to pass a string variable to a SWF so that I can specify a XML file to load without republishing the SWF. When I assign the string variable to a textfield it is correct. But when I use that variable in the loader it does not display the XML from that file. You can see below that I commented out the string "lesson_11/images/0301_objectives.xml". If I put this string in the loader it works, if I use the string variable in its place it does not work. Can anyone see what I am doing wrong
Code:
var xmlFileToLoad:String;
var myQueryString:Object;
