Re: [Flashcoders] AS3 accessing functions from other classes

2008-08-14 Thread SJM - Flash 
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.

In the same class that loads the SWF there is a number of other functions i

The SWF is loaded using this code...

  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

2008-08-14 Thread H 
Sorry man I didn't read the original post :S ...

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...

  Sorry man I didn't read the original post :S ...

  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...

 In my project i have 2 FLAs 'gallery.fla' and 'main_site.fla', each of

 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

 The SWF is loaded using this code...

 var swfURL:URLRequest = new URLRequest(filename);
 swfLoader.load (swfURL);
 swfLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,

RE: [Flashcoders] AS3 accessing functions from other classes

2008-08-13 Thread Merrill, Jason 
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!
