Getting properties from loaded swf

hi there,
I am loading different swfs into my loader object "loader"
and I also have a description of each swf below it ("desc"
"desc_back").. Each swf is different in size and i want to move/
scale "desc" and "desc_back" it to fit. This seems to be kind of
working but it changes to fit the loaded swf before the one I want
it to. it is if it is taking the properties of the last loaded swf
instead of the one just loaded...I have tryed using an onload
listener amoung a number of things. my action script is not very
strong so it could be something simple.
thanks :)

you must wait until loading is complete before trying to
access the _width and _height of the about-to-be-loaded swf. ie,
use preloader code or the onLoadInit() method of the
moviecliploader class.

Load and control AS2 interactive SWF in AS3 and get properties of AS2 swf

Hi,
Can anyone please tell me how to load AS2 and AS3 swf file in AS3 Loader class. I have tried "ForcibleLoader.as, AVM1Loader.as, AVM2Loader.as but as of now I have not get successes yet. There are some issue in all library.
I am looking for below solution.
1) Load SWF file AS2, AS3 via flashVars params and load it in AS3 player.
2) After successfully loaded, below properties should be shown -
     a) totalFrames
     b) currentFrames
     c) FPS of loaded swf file
     d) Should wok play(), stop() properties of loaded swf file.
     e) SWF file should work just like video player application where we can do Play, Pause, Stop, Seek (All properties and methods
        should be supported. )
3) Player should be capable of loading all swf file regardless of any version AVM1 AVM2 both in AS3 Player.
4) After loading player should scale external loaded swf file as per Player stage width and height and content should be scale
    proportionate in 4:3.
4) AS2 & AS3 action script must be supported in AS3 player. (All interactive swf file should be supported)
Thanks

[C4005]: Get properties from packet failed killing my sessions

I have a broker in a state where 6 messages are delivered which "kill" the first 6 sessions listening on a particular queue (round-robin delivery sorta situation)
These exceptions are logged only to stderr and no indication is given to my program about them other than the affected sessions never receive another message again, others do.
When the broker or consumer service is restarted, it happens again.
If I start the broker with a -reset messages then the problem goes away. I saved the entire broker var folder to try to find a work around to this.
This is OpenMQ 4.5B29
I'll include the stack traces below, anyone seen something like this or have suggestions on how to deal with this without resorting to reset of the broker?

From the stack trace, it looks like there is a problem with one of message's string properties. I can't obviously see what, but this might help you track down the cause of the problem.
When you've found out what it is about your message that's causing this exception, please log this as a bug.

Pass parameters to a function in main class from loaded SWF?

I've got a main.as that loads SWF to the stage.
the loaded SWF seppoused to pass a link to the main.as and trigger a javascript function to popUp that photo from that link.
I know there are two ways:
((root as MovieClip).parent.parent as Object).somefunction(parameters);
and to dispatch an event.
inorder to pass parameters throug the event i need to extend it with another class.
isnt the (root as... ) more efficient if all i need is to pass a link?

when a photo from the gallery is selected a javascript popUp shows it enlarged with additioan editing options (kinda like in facebook).
in that popUp ther is also a next button so its kinda bidirectional. (the next calling the loaded SWF throug main to get the next link in the photo array)
the photo is a grandchild of a grandchild of the stage and the loaded swf is a grandchild so using:
((root as MovieClip).root as MovieClip).ExternalInterface.call("ShowPic", link);
is discusting ><

Imported swfs getting data from main swf

Hi everybody,
I'm struggling shaking my old school AS2 mindset here. I've got a main swf which loads a bunch of subordinate swfs. I need my loaded swfs to see some variables in the main. For instance (example simplified for conversational purposes), let's say I've got a swf loading (we'll say littleSwf), which needs to set its rotation based on a variable (we'll say swfRotation) in the main. The rotation code is inside of the little swf. How does that little swf get told / find out what its rotation number is?
How would I do that? I've tried everything I can think of and done some digging, but apparently not in the right places.
Any input appreciated.
Dan P.

If you are loading the swf into another, chances are you are using a Loader. So the Loader becomes the parent of the loaded swf. And the main swf is the parent of the Loader. So using the more common AS2 mindset, you would want to get any variable in the main swf by targetng the parent.parent... which in AS3 can be done using... MovieClip(parent.parent).
A more OOP correct way of getting the rotation value to the child is to assign it to it from the main swf after it has completed loading the child. To do this you assign a listener to the Loader to determine when the file has been loaded, and then you have the main file target the child thru Loader.content property. You could then have some function in the child that the main calls and passes the rotation value to as an argument, or just have the main file perform the operation on the child using the rotation value if that is suitable.

Invoking class from loaded swf

I'm working on a project where I'm loading in a video player
as an external swf to my main movie. I'm not able to get my video
or the custom player to show up, but sound is there (I've done the
whole Library>New Video thing, so I have a video object to
reference).
My question is: My loaded swf uses #include to include a
script which imports two classes from a subdirectory, could that be
causing the problem? My main movie never uses the classes.
Just want to make sure this isn't my problem before I go
digging into the script again!

That is unlikely to be the problem. The .as includes are
compiled into the
SWF at publish. Much more likely is that you have
inappropriate references
to _root in your loaded movie. As it stands, the scope of
_root, once you
load the movie into another, is the _root of the *loading*
movie. Either
change these refs, or set the _lockroot property of the mc
you are loading
into to true.,

How can I get properties from my ldap server?

urgent,I don't know
how to use the getproperties to get the properties
from ldap server,anyone help?

Hi Kevin,
You could write a portlet that uses the <um:getProfile> and
<um:getProperty> tag (
http://edocs.bea.com/wlp/docs40/p13ndev/jsptags.htm#1058056 )
Or you can do an easier test that requires no coding: If you use the EBCC
to create metadata about your ldap property set, then you can use the JSP
portal admin tool to see your LDAP properties for a user. I think if you go
through the UUP example on dev2dev.bea.com it has instructions for doing
this with a UUP. Basically, create a property set (a.k.a. "user profile")
named "ldap" in the EBCC and create properties that match the ones you want
to retrieve ("telephoneNumber", etc...CASE SENSITIVE). Then access the JSP
portal admin tool. If you are not using the LDAPRealm as your alternate
security realm then create a user that you know exists in LDAP and then hit
the link for the user and search the "ldap" property set and you will see
their property values. If you are using the LDAPRealm for authentication,
then this is not a ManageableRealm so you cannot create users (they are
managed in your LDAP server). So, if you are using the LDAP realm, just
create the "ldap" property set in the EBCC and go to the user mgmt tools in
the JSP admin tools and you will see your user. Then search the "ldap"
property set for your user and you will see the property values.

Hello,
We're trying to retrieve an arbitrary profile and it's attributes from

I'm unsure as to how to use the com.bea.p13n.usermgmt.profile.ldap

Is there some step by step instructions to achieve this as well as
some sample code to run in a jsp to test this functionality?

Hi Eric,
The LdapPropertyManager handles that for you. All you have to do is
deploy it. (I'm talking about Portal 4.0). See the docs at "Accessing
Properties from an LDAP Server" (
http://edocs.bea.com/wlp/docs40/p13ndev/users.htm#1131824 )
You will need to deploy the LDAPPropertyManager EJB, located in
ldapprofile.jar. It is shipped with the product in
<wlportal4.0-install-dir>/lib/p13n/ejb/ldapprofile.jar.

Control main timeline from loaded swf.

Hi,
I'm using a textfield for debug information.
I'm loading an swf on the main timeline and I'm showing the status in the debug textfield.
function swfLoaderCompleteHandler(event:Event)
Debug.text += "Swf loaded.";
That works.
But,
I'm loading a png file in the loaded swf. , I'm trying to show the status of the png file as I showed the status of the swf.
function pngLoaderCompleteHandler(event:Event)
MovieClip(parent).Debug.text += "Png loaded.";
I can't control the main swf from inside the loaded swf. Even gotoAndStop or calling a function doesn't work.
Do I need to add something when I load the swf, saying it's a MovieClip or something?
Here's a fla too. http://flashfocus.nl/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=9885&d=1282509233

Thank you! you're brilliant!

Therefore, my question is: "How do I prevent your '''Get Glue '''program from loading when I never ever even asked for ''that'' program,

That is not part of Firefox, but appears to be an add-on. You appear to have this add-on installed - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/3481/

Accessing AIR API from loaded SWFs

I am relatively new to AIR development and I can't get my head a round a little issue. I have an AIR application created in Flash CS5 that is just a shell that loads modules on demand, those modules are just SWF.
I would like to access the AIR API directly from the classes of those SWF but of course they don't compile because in the publish settings they are just exported for Flash player 10 and don't see the AIR API. I tried adding airglobal.swc to the library hoping it would sort out the compiling problem but it doesn't and it generates many errors.
I use to develop with MDM ZInc and I would just import the MDM SWC in any classes that would want access the MDM API, I am unsure how to proceed with AIR.
Any help would be appreciated.
Calwen

Hi Calwen,
here is basic sample how you could achieve that. Note: I'm using mxml syntax and components - but the *KEY* is api use of LoaderContext - not what real components are used to model UI.
Say I have host:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<s:WindowedApplication xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
                            xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"
                            xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx"
                            creationComplete="creationCompleteHandler(event)">
     <fx:Script>
          <![CDATA[
               import mx.events.FlexEvent;
               protected function creationCompleteHandler(event:FlexEvent):void
                    var loaderContext:LoaderContext = new LoaderContext();
                    loaderContext.allowCodeImport = true;
                    swfLoader.loaderContext = loaderContext;
                    swfLoader.load("app:/MyLoadedApp.swf");
          ]]>
     </fx:Script>
     <s:SWFLoader id="swfLoader" width="100%" height="100%"/>
</s:WindowedApplication>
MyLoadedApp is not created with air SDK at all - it is just flash.display.Sprite movie clip created with any compatible Flash compiler:
package
     import flash.display.Sprite;
     import flash.events.*;
     import flash.text.TextField;
     import flash.utils.getDefinitionByName;
     public class MyLoadedApp extends Sprite
          public function MyLoadedApp()
               addEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE, initApp);
          protected function initApp(addedToStageEvent:Event):void
               removeEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE, initApp);
               var clazz:Class = flash.utils.getDefinitionByName("flash.filesystem.File") as Class;
               if(clazz)
                    // we could read documents directory (File.documentsDirectory) using class access
                    var directory:Object = clazz.documentsDirectory;
                    try
                         // and we could show browse dialog (now we are using instance - not class)
                         directory.addEventListener(Event.SELECT, directorySelectedHandler);
                         directory.browseForDirectory("Please select directory");
                    } catch (error:Error)
                         // handle error
                         var errorText:TextField = new TextField();
                         errorText.autoSize = "left";
                         errorText.text = error.message;
                         addChild(errorText);
          protected function directorySelectedHandler(selectEvent:Event):void
               var directory:Object = selectEvent.target;
               var files:Array = directory.getDirectoryListing();
               var resultsTextField:TextField = new TextField();
               resultsTextField.autoSize = "left";
               resultsTextField.multiline = true;
               resultsTextField.appendText(selectEvent.type+":\n");
               for(var i:uint = 0; i < files.length; i++)
                    resultsTextField.appendText(files[i].name+"\n");
               addChild(resultsTextField);
This is not safe at all and loaded module can do everything I think (we talk about local modules from app storage, like in Zinc, right?)
kind regards,

Extract graphics from loaded swf / Big problem

Hello,
my English isn't very good, so sorry for mistakes I have swf which consist of many vector graphics.
You can show it right here: http://www.watchtime24.sisco.pl/moje...orowanka_1.swf
If I import the swf to the stage, than I can manipulate this graphics. But this is not enough for me. I need to manipulate from Action Script.
I need to change the colors of this piceses from AS. I tried to use function
getObjectsUnderPoint(new Point(mouseX, mouseY))
but it doesn't work. This function doesn't see shapes, graphics or something else.
Is any solution which can fix my problem ? Has anyone any idea ?

Hey Mich,
What you can do is turn eachof the items in your shapes, into a movieClip or sprite or even a bitmap.
like the boy in the drawing.. take all of thsoe and then convert them into a movieClip. Then when you do this give them a name and export them for actionscript. Give this a class Name.
then when you load the swf, you can actually target those files with this line.
Say i converted the BOY into a movieClip.
import flash.system.ApplicationDomain
import flash.utils.geClasstDefinition
var myswfHoldingBoy
var myLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader()
myLoader.addEventListener(Event.INIT,onInit)
var myURLRequest('path to myswfHoldingBoy')
myLoader.load(myURLRequest)
privaate function onInit(e:Event){
//here is where we will extract the boy for the library of the other swf
var ldrAppdomain= e.target.loaderInfo.applicationDomain
var boyObject:Class= ldrAppdomain.getByDefinition('class name you gave the boy as i said eralier') as Class
// now we have boyObject that will be able to be used as a class
addChild(new boyObject()) // this will addYourBoy movieClip to the stage. but keep a reference to him so that you can then manipulate him.

Creating array of Bitmaps from loaded swf

so ive got a swf, quite simply it contains an embedded Video
object, an flv. what i need to do is load it in (done) goto each of
its frames in turn and convert said frames to Bitmaps, thus
creating a single, unique Bitmap for each frame of the flv Video.
crikey, how the hell can i do this? :)

so i've just discovered that, as someone on some webpage
somewhere said 'BitmapData is your friend. having discovered this i
found the answer. the code's a bit rood, just test code crudely
c&p'ed but heres what seems to be the broad answer to my own
question:
private function completeHandler(event:Event):void
var mc:MovieClip = MovieClip(loader.content);
mc.gotoAndStop(1);
var bmd1:BitmapData = new BitmapData(320,240);
var bm1:Bitmap = new Bitmap(bmd1, "auto", true);
bmd1.draw(mc);
mc.gotoAndStop(1000);
var bmd2:BitmapData = new BitmapData(320,240);
var bm2:Bitmap = new Bitmap(bmd2, "auto", true);
bmd2.draw(mc);
addChild(bm1);
addChild(bm2);
bm2.y = 240;
}

How to access properties of symbols in loaded SWF?

into a dead end on one particular area: accessing and manipulating
properties of symbols in a loaded SWF.
The SWF is actually a simple library of a detailed parts
illustration. I would like to load the entire SWF in position, and
be able to change the attributes (i.e. colors) of individual
symbols (or parts of the illustration). I can load, display and
manipulate each symbol separately, but I need the parts to remain
in place.
The original art was created in Illustrator and exported as
SWF using the symbols palette.
I can always go back to Flash, but I'm forcing myself to move
forward and do this project in Flex (baptism by fire!!).
Is there some sort of dot notation to access the symbols from
within the SWF, without loading them all separately?
Let me put this another way: it appears that I can load an
SWF and then instantiate each symbol in that SWF, and then load
each symbol to the 'stage' (or whatever it's called in Flex)
separately.
I can certainly instantiate each symbol separately, and then
align it on stage, but it seems to me to be bass-ackward to do it
that way, expecially since I created the original SWF with
everything in position.
Is there no way to access the attributes of the individual
symbols within an SWF without separately instantiating them?
I'm just having trouble getting my head around this. Any help
is greatly appreciated.

Okay, I took a look at this info and it's what I was already
doing.
Here's a simplified example of what I'm trying to do, using
the example in the swf9.pdf file.
Let's assume I've created a SWF with a "BlueSquare" movieclip
(in the symbols panel in Flash, exported for AS). In that clip,
there is another symbol called "Star". I import the SWF and
BlueSquare symbols in with the following code:
<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
[Embed(source=”../assets/circlesquare.swf”)]
[Bindable]
public var LogoCls:Class;
[Embed(source=”../assets/circlesquare.swf”,
symbol=”BlueSquare”)]
[Bindable]
public var LogoClsBlueSquare:Class;
</mx:Script>
If I instantiate the BlueSquare on stage, it includes the
Star symbol when previewed, but I can't figure out how to get at
the Star symbol to change color. If I apply a color change to the
symbol, it changes the entire BlueSquare symbol.
If I instantiate the Star symbol separately, I can then
position it on the stage and make changes, but that requires
positioning it with actionscript. I'm trying to not have to
position a sub-element of my actual artwork because of it's
complexity.
I'd like to display the main movieclip (or sprite) with the
ability to access the attributes of a sub-movieclip or
sprite.

Remove event listener from loaded external swf

I have a main movie timeline that loads an external swf. When I unload the swf from the main timeline I get an error from this: my_FLVPlybk.addEventListener(VideoEvent.COMPLETE, vidEnd);
is there any way to remove the event listener from the loaded swf from the main timeline?
THANKS!

if you're publishing for fp 10+, use unloadAndStop() applied to your swf's loader. that has a fair chance of solving the problem.
if that fails, you should explicitly stop my_FLVPlybk.
