POHow can a loaded child swf 1 communicate to next child swf, child swf 2, which is currently not loaded
text
Body
copied!<p>I have a parent swf with three buttons: next button, back button, ticker on/off button. I have three child swfs, each with a ticker mc. When I click on ticker button on parent swf it dispatches a custom event which brings ticker MC on stage and thus ticker becomes visible (ticker off button displaces it out of stage by changing the value of ticker_mc.y). the problem I am facing is when ticker is on and I click next or back button to load next or previous child swf, the ticker goes off. How can I make sure that ticker is on all the time and closes only when I close it. How can a loaded child swf 1 communicate to next child swf, child swf 2, which is currently not loaded, that since the ticker is on on swf 1 so you please keep the ticker on on swf 2 as well?!</p> <p>I think I know the problem. I have put a default value of ticker_mc = 160 (makes ticker inactive) on every child swf. So, the ticker becomes inactive everytime I load a new child swf. If someone could guide how can I do this, my problem will be solved: When first child swf is loaded, the default value of ticker_mc.y should be 160. I want to hold this value in a variable. When I click ticker active btn, position of ticker_mc changes to 194 so the value of variable should change to 194. When I click next btn, the variable value (160 or 194) should be sent to next child swf and ticker_mc.y should be equal to variable value.</p> <p>This is the code so far </p> <p>"Next button" </p> <pre><code>go_mc.next_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, playNext); function playNext(e:MouseEvent):void { if (swf_no < (clips.length-1)) { swf_no++; SoundMixer.stopAll(); nextClip(); pp.play_btn.visible=false; pp.pause_btn.visible=true; } </code></pre> <p>}</p> <pre><code>function nextClip():void { thisLoader.load(new URLRequest(clips[swf_no])); </code></pre> <p>}</p> <p>//Every time I click next or back button this event is called and I remove previous swf from stage.</p> <pre><code>thisLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, doneLoading); function doneLoading(e:Event):void { stopAllChildMovieClips(stage); stage.removeChild(thisMC); thisMC=MovieClip(thisLoader.content); thisLoader.unloadAndStop(); thisMC.x=37; thisMC.y=78.50; stage.addChild(thisMC); playAllChildMovieClips(stage); </code></pre> <p>}</p> <p>//Ticker active button on parent swf</p> <pre><code>viewUnviewTxt_mc.viewTxt_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, viewText); function viewText(e:MouseEvent):void{ var viewText:String = "viewTxtFunc"; dispatchEvent (new Event(viewText, true)); </code></pre> <p>}</p> <p>//To turn off ticker(default).
