Calling a variable from inside a movieclip AS3 in Flash CS4

I am trying to trace a variable string from inside a movieclip which is inside another movieclip on the main timeline using:
trace(VariableString);
and also
trace(stage.VariableString);
Neither work
The variable is an input textfield and traces fine when it is on the main timeline but will not work from inside the movieclip. I am using Actionscript 3 in Flash CS4.
I appreciate this has probably been discussed previously on this forum but I cannot find a difinitve answer that seems to work.
Thanks

Thanks for the reply. However this did not seem to work.
I think I had better explain a little better.
On Keyfrme1 I have a MovieClip1 containing a text input component. I have created a variable on keyframe 1 using:
var VariableString1:String = new String();
When clicking on a seperate button this happens:
VariableString1 = MovieClip1.text;
I can trace this correctly on the main timeline using:
trace(VariableString1);
However, if I try to trace this from another keyframe inside a movieclip2 which is inside another movieclip3 using:
trace(MovieClip1(root).VariableString1);
I just get the error 1180 call to a possibly undefined method MovieClip1
Sorry if this is not very clear but I am getting very confused with this.
Thanks again

Referencing a button on main stage from inside a movieclip

I am banging my head against the wall on this.
On the main stage I have a button that I have made invisible once the file is loaded. Inside a movieclip I have on frame 15 the following actionscript 3 code
button_mc.visible = true;
I want the button to become visible at the end of this movieclip. I am not using an external as3 file, I am putting the as3 code in its own layer on the first frame.
I know it has something to do with the path to the button, but I cannot figure it out. If there is anyone who can point me in the right direction for referencing instances by instance name that reside on the main satge from inside a movieclip I would be very grateful.
Thanks

Try:
MovieClip(this.parent).button_mc.visible = true;

Unable to call a procedure from inside a another procedure

Dear members
I am trying to call a procedure from inside an another procedure.Both the procedures are present within the same package.I am trying to call the second procedure just before the end of the first procedure.Both the procedures are compiling fine but the tables are not getting populated inside the second procedure.Also the DBMS_OUTPUT statements present in second procedures are not getting displayed.(I feel the second procedured is not getting called).

How to Play/Pause All for Adobe Air Application using AS3 in Flash CS4?

I am new to Flash and I'm creating an educational application in AS3 in Flash CS4 for Adobe Air. I want to use buttons to play and pause all content (movieclips AND sound).
I have created play and pause buttons that worked by switching the frame rate between 0 and 20, unfortunately I've realised that it's never really 0fps but rather 0.01fps and so it continues playing, albeit very very slowly. Also this doesn't affect the audio; I have set sound files to Stream which are synced to movieclips on their timelines, but even when the application is set to 0fps the audio continues.
Since I have various levels with numerous movieclips each with synced audio, what i'd like is to be able to do is pause absolutely everything within each movieclip with one button and to be able to resume from the same place using another button. Is this possible? If not, is there a global function to pause/resume the entire application/program?
Thanks in advance for your help!

Its possible but you would need to tell each movieclip and audioclip to play/pause. You can create a for loop inside your mouse event function to find each movieclip and pause/play its timeline and a separate for loop for audio clips. Also instead of setting fame rate to 0 for pause just use a stop() command.

AS3 loading external swf files with buttons from inside a movieclip

In my main .swf I have labels on the timeline, navs for those btns are on the first frame of the AS layer and each button sends the playhead to a different frame.
On one frame called fr1 there is an mc called mc_1 that appears on stage when the playhead stops there. Inside mc_1 are a set of navigation buttons that need to call external .swfs.
Do I add event listeners on the last frame of mc_1 for each button?
how do I call the loaders for the swfs on the buttons since the swfs will load on the main timeline NOT the mc_1 timeline?
So label on main timeline called fr1 will load external1 swf , on fr10 external 2.swf will load and so on.
any help?

The code for that button's event listener needs to be placed wherever it has direct access to the button. Not necessarily on the same timeline, but in a place where both the button and the code are present at the same time.
The code could be placed at the frame in the main timeline where the movieclip with the button(s) is, targeting the buttons via the movieclip (mc.button.addEvemtListener...) , unless the buttons are somewhere down the timeline of that movieclip.
If they are down the timeline of that movieclip, then you would need to have the event listener also inside the movieclip, down its timeline where the buttons are finally settled in... being sure to assign instance names to the buttons at every keyframe.

Calling a function from within a movieclip

How do I do this, and Is it wrong to do it this way?
I have a movieclip on the timeline and within that movieclip
it has buttons which I've placed listeners. I'm doing it this way
rather than putting the code in the document class because the
buttons don't appear right away in the movieclip (not until around
frame 10). The function is defined in the document class because it
is used with other movieclips.
Anyone have an idea on how to properly do this?

Well, I'm at least not getting an error - however, nothing is
happening when I click the button to call the function (which is
indeed public). Inside the function is a simple trace. I've even

How to access a variable from inside another symbol

So i did this tutorial, Leveraging Independent Symbol Timelines created by Eliane...it's rockin, btw. ;-)
All's well but now i have a symbol on the stage called mc-home. inside of mc-home is a button called btn-go.
On the stage in composition ready there's a variable sym.setVariable("current", "mc-home");
This code works for a symbol that's on the stage but, how do i get this code to work on a button that's inside another symbol that's on the stage?
var current = sym.getVariable("current");
if (current != "") {
sym.getSymbol(current).play("OUT");
sym.getSymbol("mc-something").play("IN");
sym.setVariable("current", "mc-something");

sorry, i was kind of confused myself too, don't worry about it but thanks for your patience for reading it anyway

How can I call Adobe Reader from inside my Application and prevent operator to access Open/save opt

Can Anyone help to find a way?
http://answers.acrobatusers.com/How-call-Adobe-Reader-inside-application-avoid-operator-op en-save-doc-q13487.aspx
From inside my application that run on an Automation PC, under Windows O.S, I want to call Adobe Reader using a shell command to open up an PDF Document containing some informations.
Shell command like these
"C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 10.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe" /A "<options>" "C:\mydoc.pdf"
or
cmd /c "C:\mydoc.pdf"
Operator is using a touchscreen.
I want to prevent user to access any option that can give him acces to filesystem (Open/save/save as).
I want also to prevent any change/add information to PDF document
Thank you in advance for the time you will spend for me.

You can use the Installation Tuner for Reader to customize the UI elements provided to the user. Details on the Adobe web site.

Call stored proc from inside sp

I am trying to call a stored proc from inside a stored proc and the stored proc needs to return a ref_cursor. I am trying to loop over the returned ref_cursor, but my problem is that when I compile the sp it says the ref_cursor is not a procedure or is undefined. Can anyone please tell me why I am getting this error? Refer to the code below!
create or replace
PROCEDURE TCS_GetPartReferenceData
contracts IN VARCHAR2
, showInWork IN INTEGER
, userClock IN VARCHAR2
, intMaxResults IN INTEGER
, ret_cursor OUT SYS_REFCURSOR
) AS
p_cursor SYS_REFCURSOR;
BEGIN
TCS_GETDRNSFORCONTRACTS(contracts
, showinwork
, userClock
, intmaxresults
, p_cursor);
for r in p_cursor loop
dbms_output.put_line(r.puid);
end loop;
END TCS_GetPartReferenceData;

Probably you want sth. like
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE tcs_getpartreferencedata (contracts       IN     VARCHAR2,
                                    showinwork      IN     INTEGER,
                                    userclock       IN     VARCHAR2,
                                    intmaxresults   IN     INTEGER,
                                    ret_cursor         OUT sys_refcursor)
AS
BEGIN
   tcs_getdrnsforcontracts (contracts,
                            showinwork,
                            userclock,
                            intmaxresults,
                            ret_cursor);
END tcs_getpartreferencedata;
var cur refcursor
exec tcs_getpartreferencedata(contracts_value,showinwork_value,userclock_value,intmaxresults_value, :cur)
print curfill in appropriate values for the parameters _value ....

Calling command prompt from inside a servelt?

Hello all, I have an issue with calling the command prompt cmd.exe from inside a servlet to perform a .rtf to .pdf conversion for me. I believe the problem might be more Windows permissions oriented but I will see what you think? (I am at a loss on this one) I am using the standard call of -
Process proc = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cmd.exe /c C:\\BatchPDF.exe "+rtfFile.getAbsolutePath()+" "+pdfFile.getAbsolutePath());
- Just calling a .rtf file and converting it to .pdf no biggie. But! oh there is always a but!
If I start tomcat locally using the startup.bat in the tomcat /bin dir, I have no problems with my servlet launching cmd.exe and converting the files.
However,
If I start tomcat as a system service from the services control pannel, My servlet just hangs and will not launch cmd.exe? Tomcat is set to start as the servers Admin account when started as a service, should this not let it open the command prompt? Also, cmd.exe has full permissions to everyone! Is it possible that it might be a Catalina Policey that is preventing this? Again, I am lost and hope someone might have had this problem and fixed it before!
Thank You in Advance,
Lance

It might be because of when starting as a service it
has no "console" (just a guess). But anyway, you don't
need the "cmd.exe /c" part - just run the .exe(meaning, the *PDF.exe)

Calling C# dll from inside of JavaScript

I have a LabView application that uses javascript to call into some database stored procedures. I was wondering if there is a way of calling a .Net dll from inside of the Javascript without having to register the dll as a COM server. Are there any examples out there that I can take a look at?

That certainly seems like a roundabout way of doing things. Why do you need to use Javascript? Is this related to this question? If found this and this via Google.

Calling a variable from main class to other class

How do I call a variable that is initialize in the Test.java into Sub.java?
I want to call the a, b, c that I have initialize in Test.java into Sub.java.
import java.util.*;
import java.lang.*;
import java.awt.*;
public class Test{
     public static void main(String args[]){
          int b;
          int c=1;
          int a=11;
          b = c + a;
          System.out.println(+b);
import java.util.*;
import java.lang.*;
import java.awt.*;
public class Sub{
     public void Subtraction(){
          if(a>c)
               b = a-c;
          else if(c>a)
               b = c-a;
          else if(a=c)
               b = a-c;
          System.out.println(+b);
}

This is, and I'm sorry but I don't know how else to say this, a real big mess.
I'll go through some (most/all) of it but honestly....
import java.awt.*;Many will tell you that you should use specific imports and not wildcards to increase ease of reading. I am not so personally picky about this but it would help you.

public class SUBOK {      Terrible class name. Please use the standard [_Java naming conventions_|http://java.sun.com/docs/codeconv/html/CodeConventions.doc8.html]

    public static void main(String[] args) {
         SUBOK runGUI = new SUBOK();
    public SUBOK(){
         JFrame f = new JFrame("Subok");
         f.setSize(150,100);
         f.setVisible(true);
         f.setDefaultCloseOperation(f.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
         JButton b = new JButton("Sum");

         JPanel p = new JPanel();
         p.add(b);
         f.add(p);
    } Most of that is okay although not great. But I don't think you should be doing anything in Swing at all yet.
private class Push implements ActionListener{
         public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e){
              if(e.getActionCommand().equals("send")){
                   int a = 12;You are aware that this a has nothing to do with your other a? right? I mean this is a method local variable in a whole other class then the other one.
                       Add i = new Add();
                       i.Add();
    public int aValue(){
         return a;
} Alrighty then...

         b = d+c;

}First of all do not name a method the same as a class. Second most of this class appears to be based mainly in the realm of wishful thinking. In programming, wishing that something will "just work" without understanding the basics of why and how it works does, pretty much 100% of the time, not end well.
You need to take a number of steps back from this code, get grounded in some fundamentals and then make another attempt. I would highly recommend putting the Swing (or any other GUI) code aside for some time now. Inter-object communication is a fundamental part of OO and thus a fundamental part of Java and this code clearly shows that you don't understand it yet at all.
Start here [_Learning The Java Language_|http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/java/index.html]
If you have questions as you go through the tutorial do come back and ask them and someone here will be glad to help you. But in order to help you with code you have to be at a point where you understand things like variable scope, the difference between a class and an Object and how, why and what methods can be used to exchange information between two instances.

How can I call a variable from another class

hi
If I have two classes : one and two
In class two I have a variable called : action
In class one I want to check what is the value of action.
How can I call action?

Thank you scorbett
what you told me worked fine, but my problem is that MyClass2 is an application by itself that I don't want to be executed.
Creating myClass2 as in the following:
MyClass2 myClass2 = new MyClass2();
[/code]
executes myClass2.
Can I prevent the exectuion of MyClass2, or is there another way to call the variable (action)?

How to call a variable from another class?

Greetings
I�m designing a program that is called Senior.java, and I want to design it�s menus, for simplicity in reading the code, I want to write a separate java file for each menu. For example I want a file.java, edit.java etc�.
Since I�m not a professional I�m having problems in calling the variable �bar�, that I created in senior.java,
In Senior.java I have :
JMenuBar bar = new JMenuBar();
setJMenuBar( bar );
In fileMenu.java I want to add file menu to the menu bar �bar�:
bar.add( fileMenu );
When I compile the fileMenu.java I got a �cannot resolve symbol � message, where symbol is the variable bar.
Can you please help me, knowing that i'm using SDK1.4.1?

Sun has recommendations for naming conventions. Class names should start with a capital letter. You should avoid using class names that are the same as classes provided in the SDK. Following these conventions will make it easier for people to help you. For example, you should not use file, nor should you use File. It's better to use MyFile, replacing My with something that makes sense to your application (SeniorFile?).
Also, check the Formatting Help link when posting for a desciption on how to use the code tags for posting code.
1. You need to establish references between your classes. One way is to have a constructor that has a JMenuBar argument.
2. You can not add a file to a JMenuBar because a JMenuBar adds a JMenu. I don't think you want file to extend JMenu. It may be better for file to have a JMenu.
I haven't tried to compile this code so no guarantees - just trying to show you an approach.
public class Senior extends JFrame {
   public Senior() {
      JMenuBar bar = new JMenuBar();
      MyFile file = new MyFile(bar);
//whatever else you need
public class MyFile {
   public MyFile(JMenuBar mbar) {
      JMenu menu = new JMenu();
      mbar.add(menu);

Reading variables from a text file into a flash projector exe

I am using Flash CS4 and my script is in ActionScript2.
I am developing a flash projector file that runs when a user puts in a cd to guide them through the steps they need to install a program and then kicks off the installer.
I use fscommand to run a utility that reads the users registry to determine the PCs regional settings and then writes this to a text file in the users %temp% directory.
I then use the LoadVariablesNum command to read in the text file and get the variables.
This was working fine when I had the text file stored in a different directory, but when I try and refer to the %temp% directory, I get an Error opening file message.
Is there anyway to get flash to look in the %Temp% directory?
Thanks in advance,
Carol Lutz

Code-tags sometimes cause wonders, I replaced # with *, as the code tags interprets # as comment, which looks odd:
******...*.........To your code: Did you test it step by step, to find out about what is read? You could either use a debugger (e.g., if you have an IDE) or system outs to get a clue. First thing to check would be, if the maze size is read correctly. Further, the following loops look odd:for(int i = 0; i < maze.length; i++) {
    for(int x = 0; x < maze.length; x++) {
        if (input.hasNextLine()) {
            String insert = input.nextLine();
            maze[x] = insert.charAt(x);
}Shouldn't the nextLine test and assignment be in the outer loop? And assignment be to each maze's inner array? Like so:for(int i = 0; i < maze.length; i++) {
    if (input.hasNextLine()) {
        String insert = input.nextLine();
        for(int x = 0; x < insert.size(); x++) {
            maze[i][x] = insert.charAt(x);
}Otherwise, only one character per line is read and storing a character actually should fail.
