Re: [Flashcoders] controlling an movie clipo from an external swf
you can't access another swf's timeline till its loaded. Look at what your writing, you have to account for the time it will take for the movieclip to load in greg On Tue, Aug 25, 2009 at 4:24 PM, Gustavo Duenas gdue...@leftandrightsolutions.com wrote: Hi coders I have this function and I'm trying to control an instance inside an external swf called botonX so far this is what I've been doing. really need help, I'd appreciate this is my code function contactUs():void{ var contactMe:MovieClip = new MovieClip(); var contactLoader:Loader = new Loader(); contactLoader.load(new URLRequest(contactUs.swf)); contactMe.addChild(contactLoader); addChild(contactMe); var myWindow:MovieClip = contactMe.contactLoader.botonX as MovieClip; myWindow.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, closeClick); trace(contact); }//contact Us Function this is the error message TypeError: Error #1010: A term is undefined and has no properties. at main1_fla::MainTimeline/contactUs() at main1_fla::MainTimeline/onClick() Regards, Gustavo ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
Re: [Flashcoders] controlling an movie clipo from an external swf (SOLVED)
You were right I google my way in and I put an eventlistener (complete) to see when it is loaded and now it is working. here is the solution for those interested. var contactLoader:Loader = new Loader(); contactLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onCompleto); function onCompleto(e:Event):void{ var utop:MovieClip = contactLoader.content as MovieClip; utop.buttonX.buttonMode=true; utop.buttonX.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, closeMe); function closeMe(e:MouseEvent):void{ removeChild(contactLoader); } trace(completo); } contactLoader.load(new URLRequest(contactUs.swf)); addChild(contactLoader); trace(contact); }//contact Us Function Regards, Gus On Aug 25, 2009, at 4:47 PM, Gregory Boland wrote: you can't access another swf's timeline till its loaded.
