I have had several posts like this but I have not gotten down to the final answer so I put this image together to try and explain what I am trying to do. I AM SO CLOSE. if you can help me THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH. Worked days on this so far.
HOW DO I CONTROL CHILDREN INSIDE AN EXTERNALLY LOADED SWF FROM CODE IN ANOTHER EXTERNALLY LOADED SWF?
EDIT: Below is THEE code located in "ONE.swf" that I need help with. Just one or two lines I know but I JUST CANT get it.
function FunctionInOne()
{
var parentObj:Object = this.parent.parent as Object; //// GIVES ACCESS TO "Content.swf"
var TheStage:Object = this.parent.parent.parent as Object; //// GIVES ACCESS TO STAGE
trace(TheStage.stage.stageWidth);
trace(parentObj); /// [object MainTimeline]
trace(parentObj.ONE); /// [object Loader]
trace(parentObj.TWO); /// [object Loader]
parentObj.alpha = .3; /// NOW I CONTROL THE ALPHA OF "Content.swf" from ONE.swf
var ControlTWO:Loader = parentObj.TWO; // GIVES ACCES TO LOADER TWO
ControlTWO.alpha = .3; // NOW I CONTROL THE ALPHA OF TWO.swf from ONE.swf
BUT HOW DO I GET ACCESS TO CONTROL THE CHILDREN IN "TWO.swf" from "ONE.swf"
var TWOchildren:MovieClip = MovieClip(TWO.content); // DOES NOT WORK
TWOchildren.ChildInTWO.alpha = .3;
var TWOchildren = TWO.content as MovieClip; // DOES NOT WORK
TWOchildren.ChildInTWO.alpha = .3; // DOES NOT WORK
TWOchidren.FunctionInTWO(); /// DOES NOT WORK
}
EDIT: March 16th, 2012
I am able to access the swf TWO.swf from ONE.swf and control it's alpha with this line:
trace(MovieClip(parent.parent).ONE);
But I need to control a child in that so I thought this following code would work but it doesn't:
MovieClip(parent.parent).ONE.TheChild.alpha = .3;
