I've been pushing data b/t Flash and Flex lately. I have a Flash 9 file
being loaded into a Flex SWFLoader. The flash file detect the parent, and
calls a public method named getTMI() w/in its parent. So far so good.
The function returns a pointer to an object (my TMI singleton) that I am
using as a service to facilitate communication b/t the two apps.
Here is where it gets wierd.
Everything works fine in the debug player. When I use the regular player, I
can see the parent, and call getTMI(). However, when the function returns
the pointer, I get a TypeError (1009) w/no message. I can't do a stacktrace
b/c that only works in the debug player, where the app works anyway.
After a bit more investigation, I have turned up the following: the function
only "misfires" when I am calling it during the AddedToStage or Added event
handler. If I wait a bit (e.g. EnterFrame), everything is fine.
Is this a legit bug or is there something more subtle that I am missing
surrounding AddedToStage?
Code below:
public function UI_New()
{
super();
this.addEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE, addedToStageHandler);
this.addEventListener(Event.ADDED, addedToStageHandler);
this.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, addedToStageHandler);
}
/**
* Register Interface event handlers
*/
protected function addedToStageHandler( event:Event ):void
{
//this.removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, addedToStageHandler);
Logger.debug("in addedToStageHandler " + event.type);
var castParent:IDisplayViewContainer = this.parent as
IDisplayViewContainer;
Logger.debug("castParent.getTMI()");
Logger.debug("castParent: " + castParent);
Logger.debug("castParent: " + castParent.getTMI);
try {
var o:Object = castParent.getTMI();
Logger.fatal( o );
}
catch (e:Error)
{
for ( var key:String in e ) {
Logger.fatal( e + " : " + e[key] );
Logger.fatal( e.message );
Logger.fatal( e.getStackTrace() );
Logger.fatal( e.getStackTrace() );
}
}
}
