[Xerte] custom interface initialization

[Dave Burnett]

I find it a bit coincidental we both get 9 for length.
Is that the length of the container "clip", or the loaded movie?

If the load event fires, and you can debug some basic information
about your loaded swf, then the problem must be with correctly addressing your
function call. I very rarely write functions anywhere other than the main
timeline – so yes, check where your function is declared.

Is your function on the main timeline?

That clip.length is addressing the root timeline.

Child clips will have to be dealt with accordingly.

Thanks
Dave, i get 9 too when doing debug(rootIcon.clip.length()). But no luck with
the function yet, I’ll check flash publish options, maybe I have something
wrong there… no idea.

 

I’ll
check latest version and models as Patrick suggested

I
have the swf loading into interface.

I added a page to the interface.

I added an interaction to the page.

I added an event to that interaction



Event is onLoad and rootIcon.



Script under the event is: 



debug("root hit");

debug(rootIcon.clip.length());

Should
the event be onLoad or onInit?

Thank
you Julian,

I
tried, but it seems i dont know how to use events correctly. I added an
interaction icon as a child right under interface icon, then a event icon int
it with name and eventName set to “onLoad” and icon set to “rootIcon”. Then
added a script icon as a child to the event icon, with the name “load” and on
the script I just wrote debug(“hi”);

 

Then
even using default interface, no debug message is prompted…

 

I did
that after trying to call my function with no luck.

 

Marc

I think that when you try and
call the function, the swf file hasn’t loaded yet. The interface icon
(rootIcon) will fire onLoad when it does load and is ready to have it’s
functions called. You need to add an interaction with an event response. On the
event respoinse set the icon to rootIcon, the event to onLoad and then add
a  script icon to the response that calls your function.

Hi everyone,

I’ve developed a swf…
