Hi all!
I have a problem with sending data between two SWF's.
Basically I have the parent SWF that loads in a child SWF. On the child SWF
there are several pictures that are clickable.
Now let's say the user clicks picture 2. I need the child SWF to tell the
main SWF that a picture was clicked, and also what picture it was from say
picture 1 to 10. The main SWF will then do something with that information.
So far all I have been able to find is something like this, in the child SWF
create add a "dispatchEvent(new Event("jumpToImage", true));" to each
picture on click. Then in the main SWF add an event listener to the child
SWF.
Now the problem is, when I click on a picture the main SWF's listener
event.target equals the child SWF's document class ([object Child]), not the
image Movieclip instance name.
I don't really want to add a different dispatchEvent to every image:
dispatchEvent(new Event("jumpToImage1", true));
dispatchEvent(new Event("jumpToImage2", true));
....
dispatchEvent(new Event("jumpToImage10", true));
cause this seems wasteful, instead I would rather do this:
Child:
dispatchEvent(new Event("jumpToImage", true));
Main:
private function jumpToImage(event:Event):void
{
switch (event.target.name)
{
case "picture1":
// do something with picture 1
break;
case "picture2":
// do something with picture 2
break;
...
case "picture10":
// do something with picture 10
break;
}
}
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Dav
