I am using this guide for passing data to modules "Using interfaces for module communication". For getting child module instances they have done this
var ichild:* = mod.child as IModuleInterface; (mod = moduleLoader)
What should I do to get instance of parent application inside module? How can I call parent methods inside modules?
I loaded external swf named child.swf from parent.swf. i am having a function called parentFunction() in parent.swf. I want to call parentFunction() from child swf.
View 2 RepliesTo my knowledge, there are 3 options:1 - parent.publicPropertyOrMethod.2 - using static vars/methods.3 - dispatching events.Under best practise for OOP development, which is the "best" method? Are there any more?I dislike #1 and never use it as it and can easily descend into hideous parent.parent.parent references that are easily broken. #2 has it's own problems whereby attempting to get/set instance variables doesn't always work through a static function (I am yet to completely understand this). #3 is great for triggering methods (I use this the most) but sucks for altering class properties and suchlike.
View 1 RepliesI have a custom class called ToolBar which is attached to a library item. The library item has other clips within it and each is an instance of ToolBarButtonA, B, C etc and these all extend the generic class ToolBarButton. If I set an event handler for CLICK within each ToolBarButton to trace 'parent' it comes back [Object ToolBar] which is what I expected but if I try to then call a method through 'parent.methodName()' it fails saying 'call to possibly undefined method'
View 9 RepliesI seem to recall that Loader.unload() could once be used to stop loading a swf before it had finished loading. I can no longer find documentation or the blog where I read this. Perhaps it was an unofficial feature. Anyhow, IModuleInfo, returned by ModuleManager.getModule() has an unload() method. If I want to halt loading a Flex Module that is in progress, do I just call iModuleInfo_instance.unload()?

I have such 10 modules. Is there any Method in Module Class where i can hide and show based on user login.
Currently optimizing an application at work. There are many files in some of the module projects that are not used by the exported (release build) Module.swf's. Are these unused files included in the swf's?

I want to call the parent function called "edit_groups()" from the itemRenderer. The code for my itemRenderer is:
<mx:VBox id="vbx_container" paddingBottom="4" paddingLeft="4" paddingRight="4" paddingTop="4" borderStyle="solid"
dropShadowEnabled="true" width="100%" height="100%" horizontalScrollPolicy="off" verticalScrollPolicy="off" >

<mx:Image id="image" width="100" height="100" source="{data.thumb}" scaleContent="true" maintainAspectRatio="true"
complete="{image_smoothing_handler(event);}" trustContent="true" doubleClick="{Call The Parent Function"edit_groups()"}"/>
</mx:Canvas></mx:VBox>
And I call my itemRenderer from an application like:
list_groups_modify.itemRenderer=new ClassFactory(groups.list_groups_modify_item_renderer);
<mx:Label text="{data.label}" textAlign="center" maxWidth="60" toolTip="{data.label}"/>
Is it possible to call a child function from within the parent? I know to go child > parent, you can do parentApplication.functionName(parameters);, but what about going the other way... that is parent > child?
View 2 RepliesIt's coming from this line of code:var dropTargetXML:XML = XMLTemplate.template.component.section.question.(@question_questionID == nNode.parent().@question_questionID)[0];nNode is an XML node sent as an argument to the function this is called in. The code runs,and does everything expected but the compiler sends out that warning. Do I have some formatting issue?P.S. I've tried telling it that it's XML like this:var dropTargetXML:XML = XMLTemplate.template.component.section.question.(@question_questionID == XML(nNode).parent().@question_questionID)[0];
View 1 RepliesI need it in FlexUnit to test private methods. Is there any possibility to do this via reflection by using describeType or maybe flexUnit has some build in facility? I dislike artificial limitation that i cannot test private functions, it greatly reduces flexibility. Yes it is good design for me to test private functions, so please do not advise me to refactor my code. I do not want to break the encapsulation for the sake of unit testing.
View 4 RepliesIf I have a .mxml file that has a method in it and a public property, can I have the method execute whenever the property changes.

In another .mxml file I have added this .mxml file like so:
<viewComponents:MyViewComponent myProperty="{myVariable}" />
In my Flex 4.5 application I have a TitleWindow Settings.mxml, which is popped up by the PopUpManager.Once the user has changed some settings, I not only need to save them to a SharedObject, but also to apply them to the main Application itself - so that the changes are visible to the user immediately.For example I need to call its method hideApp(somevalue);
The spark.components.Application does not seem to have any static/singleton methods to get ahold of it.So how do you do it? how to declare, that an MXML file implements one or several interfaces?
package {
public interface Hiddable {
function hideApp(value:Number):void;[code]....
besides the main Application I have a SettingsTest.mxml Application in my project for"unit testing" that particular functionality.
In my application I have a viewstack which I am changing via actionscript using the selectedChild attribute. The problem I run into is that I want to call a method in the component that is now the selected child in the viewstack, right after I assign it to be the child it gives me a "Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference." Is there some way that I can make this work without changing the creationPolicy to all?
Actionscript:
public function displayTaskDashboard(evt:Event):void
{
pm_viewstack.selectedChild = nc_taskDashboard;
taskDashboard.populateTasks(Globals.currentProject.Project_ID);

I am using RemoteObjects to call ZendAMF PHP from Flex/Flash Builder 4.6. I want to stop or abort a method call before it sends the request to the server based on an event or similar.
I have a class where I create and store all the RemoteObjects - for example:
activityLogService = new RemoteObject("zend");
activityLogService.endpoint=endpointServer;
activityLogService.addEventListener(FaultEvent.FAULT,faultHandler);
Then later I can simply call this object:
remotingService.activityLogService .getRecords();
I am trying to find a way in my remotingService object to stop the request - and not send anything to the server - for example if some variables are not set properly.
I noticed there is an invoke event: activityLogService.addEventListener(InvokeEvent.INVOKE,invokeHandler);
However, I can not tell if that's going to stop things at the proper point, or if it's even possible to actually STOP the request - if so, how?

why this is not working.I have an application with a new class I just created. The class loads, but will not call it's own internal function.

I need to get a javascript var in my Flash application. I like to be able to just set a variable in the javascript (client constraints) rather than define a function.
Can this be done? I am trying to use the ExternalInterface.call()
AS:
ExternalInterface.call("function(){return window.someVar}", null);
JS:
var someVar = "Test";
This does not work and I suspect it is because the ExternalInterface.call() does not like the anonymous function.
I have a class. I can call the constructor (initialize the class), and the constructor can then call a function/method inside it's own class (so I know it works), but when I try to call the same function/method myself from the instance of the class I just initialized, I get an error.
