Another noob question (sorry)

[acto]

Hi,

 

I know this is a documented issue, I read the tips section but I still can't figure out how to do this, maybe it's because I'm tired, maybe it's because I'm still a noob... Sorry for this question but could you please help me figure this out?

 

I have a main movie into which I load swfs, what I want to do is: from my main movie (by clicking a button) I want to call a function that is in one of the loaded swfs... I tried the rawContent method but I'm getting errors, could you please help me figure this out?

 

Thank you and sorry again for asking noob questions,

This is my code:

 

var queue:LoaderMax = new LoaderMax({name:"mainQueue"});

//MAIN SECTIONS
queue.append( new SWFLoader("com/sections/credits.swf", {name:"credits", container:container1,  onProgress:progressHandler, onComplete:completeHandler}) );
queue.append( new SWFLoader("com/sections/home.swf", {name:"homz", container:container2,  onProgress:progressHandler, onComplete:completeHandler}) );
queue.append( new SWFLoader("com/sections/section_01.swf", {name:"oswiecenie", container:container3,  onProgress:progressHandler, onComplete:completeHandler}) );
queue.append( new SWFLoader("com/sections/section_02.swf", {name:"XIX", container:container4,  onProgress:progressHandler, onComplete:completeHandler}) );
queue.append( new SWFLoader("com/sections/section_03.swf", {name:"20Lecie", container:container5,  onProgress:progressHandler, onComplete:completeHandler}) );
queue.append( new SWFLoader("com/sections/section_04.swf", {name:"zaglada", container:container6,  onProgress:progressHandler, onComplete:completeHandler}) );
queue.append( new SWFLoader("com/sections/section_05.swf", {name:"PRL", container:container7,  onProgress:progressHandler, onComplete:completeHandler}) );


//PLUS MENU
queue.append( new SWFLoader("com/pMenu/bibliografia.swf", {name:"bibli", container:container8,  onProgress:progressHandler, onComplete:completeHandler}) );
queue.append( new SWFLoader("com/pMenu/slownik.swf", {name:"slownik", container:container9,  onProgress:progressHandler, onComplete:completeHandler}) );
queue.append( new SWFLoader("com/pMenu/pdfy.swf", {name:"PDF", container:container10,  onProgress:progressHandler, onComplete:completeHandler}) );
queue.append( new SWFLoader("com/maps/warsaw.swf", {name:"warsaw", container:container11,  onProgress:progressHandler, onComplete:completeHandler}) );


function progressHandler(event:LoaderEvent):void {
Object(root).progressBar.visible = true;
Object(root).progressTxt.visible = true;
var percent:int = event.target.progress*100
//    trace("progress: " + event.target.progress);
progressBar.setProgress(event.target.progress, 1)
progressTxt.text = String("Trwa ładowanie: " + percent + " %");
}

function completeHandler(event:LoaderEvent):void {
var image:ContentDisplay = event.target.content;
Object(root).progressBar.visible = false;
Object(root).progressTxt.visible = false;
//    trace(event.target + " is complete!");

}


//FUNCTIONS TO --->> LOADED SWFS

function goBackToRoot(): void { // this function is called when I press my button in my main SWF

function onLoadSWF(event:LoaderEvent):void {
   var loadedMc:MovieClip = container3.rawContent;
   loadedMc.backToRoot(); // backToRoot(); is the function inside my loaded swf that I want to call from my main swf

}
}

you are very close. rawContent is a property of the SWFLoader, not the container that the swf gets loaded into.

 

try this:

 

 

 

function onLoadSWF(event:LoaderEvent):void {

LoaderMax.getLoader("oswiecenie").rawContent.backToRoot();

 

}

 

 

it looks like in your code the above function is nested inside goBackToRoot, which could cause problems.

Thank you,

 

But how do I call my backToRoot(); function (which is in my loaded swf) from my button in my main SWF if I don't nest it in another function?

 

(I feel stupid...)

[Carl]

button.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, goBackToRoot)

function goBackToRoot(e:MouseEvent):void {
     LoaderMax.getLoader("oswiecenie").rawContent.backToRoot();
}

Thank you Carl!

 

You saved my day

 

I'm really grateful and really appreciate your kind help,

 

All the best,
