AS2 :: IDE : Dynamically Referencing ROOT?
Aug 3, 2009I am having trouble dynamically changing the reference to root in my movies. Here's what I'm trying to do: I have a main movie(_level0.mainMovie) that I am loading external .swfs into. However, I want to be able to test the child movie clips without having to load them into the mainMovie(for testing purposes). In such a case, the child clip would be at _level0 or _root. I would like to add some code to the child clips to test whether they are the _level0 clip, if not, then I want to change their reference to _root. Here's what I've come up with, which doesn't seem to work:
Code:
function testLevel(){
//This code goes into each child clip to see if it has been loaded into another clip
trace(this);
if(this == _level0){ //If this is the _level0 clip

Actionscript 3.0 :: Referencing .root In Embedded Swf
Jul 27, 2009dynamically loaded swf files that employ .root syntax. I'm loading in several older swf files into a master swf. The master has a previewer that lets the user preview the library of swf files. Some of these older swf files have buttons in them that use .root, and I don't want the .root to effect the master swf, but the loaded one.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Referencing Functions In Root Timeline
Jun 30, 2009I have a 13 movieclips within another movieclip which in turn is placed on the root timeline. I have written a function in the actions layer of the main timeline:
function illboxClear(){
_root.illpre.ill1.gotoAndStop(1);
_root.illpre.ill2.gotoAndStop(1);
_root.illpre.ill3.gotoAndStop(1);
_root.illpre.ill4.gotoAndStop(1);
[Code] .....
It sends the animation in each of those described movieclips back to frame one as you can see. When I try to call the function from actions on a button which itself within a separate movieclip placed on the stage:
on (rollOver) {
illboxClear();
_root.illpre.ill2.play()
} on (rollOut) {
_root.illpre.ill2.play()
} on (release) {getURL("boxer.html","_blank");
}
It doesn't work! Can I not call functions from button objects or have I made some other elementary error?
ActionScript 3 :: Inaccessible Error When Referencing Document Root Object
Apr 22, 2011I'm trying to reference the document object from various classes in my class library. Everything seemed to be going peachy until I started getting this random, weird error. I thought maybe it was Flash acting up all of a sudden but I tried it on my Mac as well and I get the same error. Basically no matter WHAT I do, I am getting the error:
1195: Attempted access of inaccessible method getSessionHandler through a reference with static type pim:PClient
It's a lot of code, but here is the full code.
// PClient.as
package pim {
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import pim.gui.PGConsole;
import pim.loader.PCommandLoader;
[Code] .....
Alright so right now, I have sort of a singleton reference that I'm using so I can reference the document object from any class (without the need to pass the client object to each class that needs to use it). I'm pretty sure I've done this before and had it work, but obviously it is not. I've even tried passing the client object (this) to the PCommandLoader object and it still gives this really strange error (that is without the use of any static methods, etc.).
I've tried everything -- even a class that holds the PClient object reference, which was really messy -- and it still gives this really, really weird message. Even referencing the root property on movieclips gives me this error. The movie was working great and then magically it started doing this. I backed everything up and undid everything back to pretty much empty script files and it wouldn't let me compile since...
ActionScript 3.0 :: Referencing The Root Frame Label In A Switch Test Expression?
Sep 30, 2009How do I reference the root frame label in a function for event dispatching using a switch statement.
SUMMARY: This is simple, but as I've stepped away from ActionScript for too long, I'm having trouble figuring out the proper test expression to reference the root timeline frame label (e.g., switch(the root frame label)).
Nothing i've tried works:
switch(this.label)://obviously this would look at the button timeline switch(event.root.label)://player says there is no "root" property ...
STRUCTURE: I have five MCs, one on each of five frames. I have a forward button and a back button. I created a switch statement to specify different actions, based on the root frame label. Frame labels are f1, f2, f3, f4, fend.
THE RELEVANT CODE on Frame one ("f1"):
Code:
stop();
nexter.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onNexter);
nexter.buttonMode = true;

View 6 RepliesFlash :: Same Varible In An Instance Of Multiple Movieclips
Feb 4, 2010It might sound confusing so let me explain the situation. I made a movieClip. And in that movieClip I have a dynamic textfield set. I called this textfield "AmmoCount".I dragged this movieClip onto the stage several times and each time I called on the AmmoCount varible in each movieclip and gave it a different value. I get the following error TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.[code]
When I trace these objects, weapon1.AmmoCount works, but weapon2.AmmoCount shows as empty. Yet they both contain a value in them. Ive used the weapon1 property and weapon2 property countless times and there is no doubt that it works. so why doesnt it work for weapon2. but for weapon1. Below is some code that I called on earlier that shows they work.[code]these worked! but when I called on the AmmoCount text box within them, I get the error. The following image you can find within the weapon1 movieClip

ActionScript 3.0 :: Crossdomain Policy File On Root Level Cannot Be Deployed On Root Level?
Jan 14, 2009Situation:
- We have a Flash application located on a SAP EP (let's say ep.x.com)
- We have a SAP ABAP Application (Webservices) on a SAP WebAS
server (abap.x.com)
- Clarification: This is not about Flash islands / but a normal Flash application communicating with WebAS ABAP via WebServices
Problem: Due to the changed security policy in Flash 10 this scenario does no longer work.
- A crossdomain policy file on root level cannot be deployed on root level
- The WebServices http/s headers cannot be modified, since the WebServices are generated by the WebAS IDE.
Comment: Technically there is a way to patch a WebAS ABAP,but this is not a practical / acceptable way in a normal SAP WebAS infrastructure.
Conclusion:- The above scenario (Flash from EP content / WebAS ABAP as backend) is a quite normal scenario in the SAP world.
- SAP / Adobe always features the close relationship between their technologies.
Question:- What could we do?
- How does the Visual Composer works around that problem?
Actionscript 3 :: Position Loaded Object Based On Root Stage Instead Of MC That Is Loaded From Root
Mar 22, 2010I have a root stage, and a MC that is called from the root stage.Now from that MC, i will called in another MC2, and I wanted to placed the MC in the center of the stage. The reason I could not use normal ADDED_TO_STAGE at MC and define the center is because MC is not place in the exact position of the root stage (as in x, y=0). So if I would target MC2 at MC stage center, it would not be the exact center of the root stage/screen.How can I called the root stage properties rather than adding MC2 into the stage?

ActionScript 1/2 :: Outside Image Referencing?
Oct 24, 2009basically i was trying to make a program execute on the web, but it needs to load in pictures and since i didnt want to make the file size massive i converted where the images would show into a movie clip and used the loadMovie(pathname) procedure (im using AS2) to link the files, it works obviously when i test run it. in the pathname section i have "images/pic1.jpg" and so on for the different pictures as a tutorial i followed lead me to believe that it would find the pathname the program is running from and add the suffix images/pic.... etc to find the picture.
the problem is when i run it on the web its still trying to find the files on my computer, even though there is no part of the code that tells it to look in my documents/folders etc. even when i tried to link the file exactly, so put in oadMovieMy question is why is it still trying to find my local document folders instead of looking at its own run source on the internet. is there a way of absolutely linking it to the images i have now on the internet instead?

I need the release event of the menu item (which i already have stubbed out, to trigger a tweenMenu function call... however, I don't know how to get the path of the argument to pass the object to the tweenMenu function call.
I need to make this call (in theory)
