CS4 : AS3 : How do I access a Global Instance?

When I created a Symbol in a Scene, I gave it an Instance Name. How do I access it later on from within an objected added to the Scene. The only stuff I've found is for AS2.0
Thanks

OK. So I must have left something out. I just tried the code and I recieve back a null reference.
The Code :
var avatar:MovieClip = MovieClip(stage.getChildByName("s"));
s is a symbol that was added through the symbol definition. I was assuming that it was attached to the stage.
Where am i going wrong?
thanks

Flash CS4/AS3 - How to use a preloader with FLVs?

Somehow I've had a really hard time finding a straightforward forum answer or tutorial for this--maybe someone can help?
I have an SWF file that references/loads an external FLV file (www.44designs.com/promo_video.php), but since the FLV file is about 9MB and can take time to load on a slower connection, I think a preloader (something simple like "LOADING...100%") would be a good idea as the FLV loads.
Anyone have a simple way to do this?? I've had no success in finding what I need--just scripts for loading SWFs. You can see an example of this on www.44designs.com where a preloader script I've got seems to be referencing the SWF (thus loading almost immediately) instead of the much larger external FLV. Make sense? I'm not super AS3 savvy, but I can follow logic and cut and paste

Great info, thanks for the post!

How can I access global variables in a loaded Applescript?

How can I access global variables in a loaded script, in Xcode, ApplescriptObjC? Basically, I have a global variable defined in my parent script using "property", and I need to modify objects connected to those variables inside of a loaded script.
Example:
Parent script:
script AppDelegate
property myTextField : missing value
//linked to a text field object
tell myScript to myAwesomeHandler_()
end script
Loaded script:
on myAwesomeHandler_()
myTextField's setStringValue_("The new Xcode is so glitchy ugh")
//changes value of linked text field of parent script
end myAwesomeHandler_
The problem is, the variable is undefined in the Loaded script, and I need it to have the same value as the parent script, and I don't want to pass the variable through the Handler. Any ideas?

I think want you are looking to do will need to be done in two steps. Because myTextField needs to be a property for the ObjectiveC part of the code you cannot turn it into a global.
However if you make a temporary variable global assign the string to it in the handler then set myTextField off of it.
global myTextFieldGlobal
script AppDelegate
property myTextField : missing value
//linked to a text field object
tell myScript to myAwesomeHandler_()
myTextField's setStringValue_(myTextFieldGlobal)
end script
on myAwesomeHandler_()
set myTextFieldGlobal to "The new Xcode is so glitchy ugh"
//changes value of linked text field of parent script
end myAwesomeHandler_
I know you stated you did not want the handler to return a value but I have to ask why? Global's, imo, are not a good idea and really should be used as a last resort.
One other possibility is to pass a reference to the property to the handler. Not sure if that works in AS of if that would satisfy our requirement of not passing the variable through the handler
<edit>
Another though have you tried to define the property outside the script? That is
property myTextField : missing value
script AppDelegate
Not sure if that will work.
You might also want to have a look at Scope of Properties and Variables Declared in a Script Object

How do I access a semaphore created in a zone from global?

Using Solaris 10 with trusted extentions enabled.
Creating a semaphore in a zone.
Trying to access it in the global zone using sem_open. Fails - no such file or directory.
ipc_dac_read and ipc_dac_write are in the effective set but are not sufficient.
How do I access a semaphore from global?

You don't.
The whole point of zones is to separate the namespaces so zones appear to be separate physical machines.
You need to think of them that way.

How can I run two different vi's in same project which are accessing same global variable with out effecting the speed of the execution of both the vi's

Hi
I have build an Labview project with FPGA target . I have configured an FPGA VI and an host Vi to acquire data and logged the data to a file and stored the latest data in a global variable simultanously. I have configured one more VI in the same project to access the global variable. I have build a dll to access both the VI as functions in LabWindows/CVI code. My task in CVI is to update configured GUI with latest data periodically and run the host VI continously for a long time and log the data to a file. GUI should update for every one second with latest data for this I am using the second VI in which I am accessing the global varibale in which the latest data has been stored in host VI.

How can I NOT let collision happen in Flash CS4(AS3)?

I have been playing with collisions for quite a while, but cannot seem to get it just the way i want it to be.
I made a new rectangle into a Movie Clip, with an instance name : "block_mc"
I made a sphere into a Movie Clip, with an instance name : "ball_mc"
I made the sphere(ball_mc) movable with the arrow keys.(see post:http://forums.adobe.com/thread/491457?tstart=0 )
Now I wanted to try and make the sphere(ball_mc) stop moving so it wont hit the rectangle(block_mc), so that the rectangle(block_mc) would act like a solid object.
Meaning the sphere(ball_mc) would not be able to touch the rectangle(block_mc). It would act like a wall.
Now my problem is I don't know if there is a way of not letting objects collide?
I tried the ".hitTestObject()" but that did not work for me.
~ Thanks for Help and Advice~

I apologize, for this confusing long question, I simply ment to ask:
Is there a way Flash CS4(AS3.0) will not let Objects on stage collide?

How do I access a network camera from internet via 501

Please understand that I am nowhere near being a network guru and I'm even farther away from being a PIX guru.
I have a 501 PIX between my home network and the outside internet. The PIX is connected to a cable modem and pretty much keeps the same DHCP IP address as assigned by the ISP. I have an AXIS 207 IP camera connected to my home network on IP 192.168.1.11. For the sake of illustration say the address assigned by my cable ISP is 123.123.123.1.
What I need to do is to access the camera from the internet. To do that I suppose I need to add some instructions to the PIX configuration but I don't know where to start...I have never even thought about communicating with devices on my home network through the internet. Can someone please provide some pointers or better yet the commands I need to add. The next question is how do I access the camera assuming the PIX is all set up. I don't think I use the camera's address and I don't know how the ISP address would get to a specific device such as the camera - maybe appending a port number or whatever to the IP address I type when trying to access the camera from the internet?
The way the camera works on the internal network is you type in it's IP address in a browser window and the camera opens up a web page just like any url and the video is streamed to a window in the web page.
I hope I've provided enough info to understand what I'm trying to do and I would be most appreciative for any help.
thanks

I tried installing the commands as provided but am running into issues. Here are the error messages:
pixfirewall(config)# nat (inside) 1 0.0.0.0

And here is a copy of my current configuration (including the code prior to entering the changes and the successful changes). Any Idea what needs to be done to fix things?

How do I add a global variable to my app?

Hi all,
I am building a flex app which displays data in different tabs from a mysql database and I wan't to add a sign in process to make sure only registered users of the mysql db can see the data.
To achieve this I built a sign in component which accepts a username, password and the name of the database to connect to. My flex app then uses a php script to verify that the user can connect to the database using the details entered. If not, the sign in component displays an error message, but if sign in details are verified then the user can see the data from the database.
How can I store the details in the flex app for that users session so that when the user queries the db for data, flex uses the details entered during the sign in process to connect to the mysql db and submit the query?
I thought about storing the details as an array in a global variable and then accessing that global variable from anywhere in my app but I don't know if that is the correct/secure way to do what I want, nor do I know how to do it. Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
xander

quick, dirty example, could be improved on but it'll get you rolling;
After user login has succeeded, send off another HTTP service eg;
========
<mx:Script>
         <![CDATA[
            public var whateverUserNameWasEntered:String;
             public var whateverUserPasswordEntered:String;
     public function onLoginSuccess():void
          whateverUserNameWasEntered:String = loginbox.text;
          whateverUserPasswordEntered:String = passwordbox.text;
          storeSessionStuff.send();
     ]]>
    </mx:Script>
<mx:HTTPService id="storeSessionStuff" showBusyCursor="true" method="POST" url="http://localhost/store.php" useProxy="false">
        <mx:request xmlns="">
          <username>
               {whateverUserNameWasEntered}
          </username>
          <password>
               {whateverUserPasswordEntered}
          </password>
        </mx:request>
    </mx:HTTPService>
========
direct it to the php file.....
<?php
session_start();
$_SESSION['username'] = $_POST['username'];
$_SESSION['password']   = $_POST['password'];
?>
Then, whenever you want to get the information out of the Session, send off another HTTP Service...;
<mx:HTTPService id="getSessionStuff" result="storeData(event)" showBusyCursor="true" method="POST" url="http://localhost/get.php" useProxy="false"/>
to the php file....
<?php
session_start();
print "<details><username>".$_SESSION['username']."</username><password>".$_SESSION['password'] ."</password></details>";
?>
which, you need a result function for:
<mx:Script>
         <![CDATA[
          private function storeData(evt:ResultEvent):void
                var username:String;
                var password: String;
               username = evt.result.details.username;
               password = evt.result.details.password;
      ]]>
</mx:Script>
ta daa
(if thats what you meant)

Declaring and accessing custom global attributes of component controller

Hi,
I want to declare some global attributes for Component Controller and initialize them in WdDoInit() method.
I have declared them under Component Controller --> Attributes tab --> after wd_context and wd_this (say G_MESSAGE).
However, when I am trying to set them in wdDoInit() method, I get compilation error saying G_MYMESSAGE is unknown and its not defined using data statement.
How do I access these attributes?
Thanks and regards,
Amey

Hello Amey,
You need to access the variable by "wd_this->g_mymessage"
Since wd_this attribute in each controller refers to interface of local controller. you could read the description of that attribute in attribute tab.

(Help) Using Input text in Flash CS4 AS3

I am trying to take a user's input (His Name) and then greet the user on the next frame using the name he previously entered. I googled for 2days and was unable to find a way to do this on flash CS4 AS3, i guess because im very new to flash (only 2-3weeks )
Any help would be greatly appreciated, and i am sorry if this was already answered in the forums.
thanks for reading.

If your interested... here's some general "rules of the road" that are basically courtesies...
Don't post the same question in different forums (crossposting). Folks that help don't like that because they can waste their time providing the same response someone else already offered elsewhere, or their helpful info gets no attention because the OP (original poster) got wrapped up in the discussion elsewhere and never went back to the other forums. I saw one time where the OP suffered from doing this... the first person to respond in one forum said what they wanted couldn't be done, while my response in another forum showed them how to do it... but they accepted that it couldn't be done and never returned.
Don't post in someone else's posting unless the exact same situation applies to you and it is a current posting. It is a bit rude to step into someone else's posting just to get attention, which some people do... some with totally unrelated problems. Or if your problem is even slightly different, it can end up confusing matters for all involved... trying to juggle helping two people where different solutions are needed.
If you get one problem resolved and have another you want help with that does not involve the first, start a new posting. People search these forums so it helps to have topics match the postings, which will not apply if mutliple topics get resolved under one title. I recently saw one person tell someone to start a new posting even though they were following up to clarify something of the solution they received... that's wrong and is more likely someone with a case of points greed... as useless as points are, it happens.
