[Flashcoders] Re: Re: Passing text between SWFs

[Alan Neilsen]

Thanks dr.ache



I still can't get this to work. Whatever is wrong, it doesn't like the line 
"public function completeHandler(event:Event) {".



I get "Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: Event"



I tried adding "import flash.events.Event", but then I get several various 
errors.



Currently my faulty code to load child objects and use "contentLoaderInfo" 
looks like:



package {

      // Import stuff

      import flash.events.addEventListener;

      import flash.events.Event

      import flash.events.MouseEvent;

      import flash.display.*;

      import flash.net.URLRequest;

      import flash.display.Graphics;



      public class rte2124buserName {

            var rect1:Shape = new Shape();

            rect1.graphics.beginFill(0xFFFFFF);

            rect1.graphics.drawRect(0, 0, 1966, 660);

            addChild(rect1);

            var ldr1:Loader = new Loader();

            ldr1.mask = rect;

            var url1:String = "topics/rte2124b_topic1.swf";

            var urlReq1:URLRequest = new URLRequest(url1);

            ldr1.load(urlReq1);

            
ldr1.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,completeHandler1);



            var rect2:Shape = new Shape();

            rect2.graphics.beginFill(0xFFFFFF);

            rect2.graphics.drawRect(0, 0, 1966, 660);

            addChild(rect2);

            var ldr2:Loader = new Loader();

            ldr2.mask = rect2;

            var url2:String = "topics/rte2124b_topic2.swf";

            var urlReq2:URLRequest = new URLRequest(url2);

            ldr2.load(urlReq2);

            
ldr2.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,completeHandler2);



            // Call up topics from topics folder.

            public function completeHandler1(event:Event) {

                  MovieClip(event.currentTarget)._parent = this;

                  trace(_parent.ldr1);

            }

            public function completeHandler2(event:Event) {

                  MovieClip(event.currentTarget)._parent = this;

                  trace(_parent.ldr2);

            }

      }

}



All I want to do is to pass user input (user name) from a parent SWF to a child 
SWF. Could somebody please tell me all the code I need and where the code goes 
to do this. I am sorry that I can't work this out, and to be honest, Flash help 
is less than useless unless you have been doing OO programming for years. It 
does not contain decent examples of everything one needs to do to get stuff to 
work.



Cheers

Alan
