main_site is loaded into gallery, and main_site has some buttons that when
you press them, they should trigger handlers in gallery.
I think it goes like this - add this code to your loader complete function
in gallery:
//where target is Loader
var main_site_instance:Sprite = ev.target.content as Sprite;
main_site_instance.addEventListener("bk2globe", bk2globeListener);
main_site_instance.addEventListener("randomImg", randomImgListener);
main_site should dispatch these events when you interact with it. This needs
to happen on the document class level...

you could also try:

myMC = ev.target.content;
myMC.name = "myMC";
myMC.x= 0;
myMC.y= 0;
this.addChild(myMC);

"Call to a possibly undefined method addEventListener through a reference
with static type Class"
I think you're calling these methods on the Class main_site.
Try this:
var main_site_instance:main_site = new main_site();
main_site_instance.addEventListener("bk2globe", bk2globeListener);
But, if you are having trouble with this, grab a copy of actionscript 3.0
essentials <http://www.amazon.com/Essential-ActionScript-3-0/dp/0596526946>.
Here is a short article that might help you:

Re: [Flashcoders] AS3 accessing functions from other classes
You should be able to do access the parent by using, "parent".

When compiled the second SWF(main_site) is loaded into the first SWF(gallery). In the same class that loads the SWF there is a number of other functions i want to access from buttons located within the loaded SWF (main_site). The SWF is loaded using this code... // CODE from within FUNCTION var swfLoader:Loader = new Loader(); var swfURL:URLRequest = new URLRequest(filename); swfLoader.load (swfURL); swfLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, swfLoadComplete); // CODE from within 'swfLoadComplete' FUNCTION addChild(ev.target.content); var loader:LoaderInfo = LoaderInfo(ev.target); loader.content.x = 0; loader.content.y = 0; SJM ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
Re: [Flashcoders] AS3 accessing functions from other classes
Hi Jason thanks for your help! Ive added what you said but the event listeners
do not seam to to be hearing the dispatched event.
main_site is the document class for main_site.fla, and is loaded into
'gallery.swf' using this code...
// CODE from within FUNCTION
var swfLoader:Loader = new Loader();
var swfURL:URLRequest = new URLRequest(filename);
swfLoader.load (swfURL);
swfLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,
swfLoadComplete);
// CODE from within 'swfLoadComplete' FUNCTION
addChild(ev.target.content);
var loader:LoaderInfo = LoaderInfo(ev.target);
loader.content.x = 0;
loader.content.y = 0;
ive tried adding these but they do not work
loader.content.name = "main_site";
...and...
loader.content.instanceName = "main_site";
The EventDispatcher is imported (the whole import flash.events.*; are imported).
Thanks
SJM

Is main_site the name of the instance? It doesn't seem like it if you
are getting that error. Does it also import EventDispatcher or at
least, extend it? Depending on where the code sits, you could do:
this.addEventListener instead of main_site - main_site should be an
instance name - you cannot listen to events from non-instances.

Re: [Flashcoders] AS3 accessing functions from other classes
"Call to a possibly undefined method addEventListener through a reference
with static type Class"
I think you're calling these methods on the Class main_site.
Try this:
var main_site_instance:main_site = new main_site();
main_site_instance.addEventListener("bk2globe", bk2globeListener);
But, if you are having trouble with this, grab a copy of actionscript 3.0
essentials <http://www.amazon.com/Essential-ActionScript-3-0/dp/0596526946>.
Here is a short article that might help you:

Keep at it!

[Flashcoders] AS3 accessing functions from other classes
Hi guys, im having some trouble accessing a function from another class and I would like to know how its done. In my project i have 2 FLAs 'gallery.fla' and 'main_site.fla', each of the FLAs has its own document class 'gallery.as' and 'main_site.as'. When compiled the second SWF(main_site) is loaded into the first SWF(gallery). In the same class that loads the SWF there is a number of other functions i want to access from buttons located within the loaded SWF (main_site). The SWF is loaded using this code... // CODE from within FUNCTION var swfLoader:Loader = new Loader(); var swfURL:URLRequest = new URLRequest(filename); swfLoader.load (swfURL); swfLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, swfLoadComplete); // CODE from within 'swfLoadComplete' FUNCTION addChild(ev.target.content); var loader:LoaderInfo = LoaderInfo(ev.target); loader.content.x = 0; loader.content.y = 0; SJM ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
