How to pass variables from .fla file to .as file in as3

[maziarser]

I have a .fla file names test.fla and I have this variable in it:

    var my_var;

    stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onLoaded);

    function onLoaded(e:Event):void

     {

   my_var = "myVariable";

   //trace(my_var);

    }

I have a .as file called Main.as.

I want to pass **my_var** from test.fla to the Main.as.

I will really appreciate, if you can help me in this matter!

It is noticeable that I have used the method mentioned in "http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9603049/actionscript-3-pass-a-variable-from-the-main-fla-to-exter...", but it does not work for me!!!

I wrote in my Main.as:

    package

    {

     public class Main extends Sprite

  {

      public function Main()

      {

    trace(root.my_var);

      }

     }

    }

Thanks in advance!

make Main your document class and have it extend the MovieClip class.

[maziarser]

kglad​ Main is already document class and I extend to MovieClip class.

the code is like this:

test.fls:

    import Main;

    var my_var;

    stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onLoaded);

    function onLoaded(e:Event):void

     {

       my_var = "Maziar";

       //trace(my_var);

     }

Main.as

package

    {

      import flash.display.Sprite;

      import flash.geom.Point;

      import flash.events.MouseEvent;

      import flash.utils.Timer;

      import flash.events.TimerEvent;

      import flash.events.Event;

      import flash.display.MovieClip;

      public class Main extends MovieCLip

     {

       public function Main()

      {

        if (stage)

        {

          init();

        }

        else

       {

        addEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE, init);

      }

      addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, waitForMyVar);

     }

     private function waitForMyVar(e:Event):void

     {

       if (my_var != null)

       {

         trace(my_var);

         removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, waitForMyVar);

        }

      }

   private function init(e:Event = null):void

  {

    removeEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE, init);

  }

     ...

}

}

I still get the errors "error: 1120: Access of undefined property my_var".

the error is in line: if (my_var != null) and line : trace(my_var);

that couldn't have been your document class or you would have seen an error.

anyway, use:

}

Main.as

import flash.events.MouseEvent;

import flash.events.TimerEvent;

import flash.events.Event;

        }

        else

       {

        addEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE, init);

      }

this.addEventListener('varReadyE',waitForMyVar);

}

}

private function waitForMyVar(e:Event):void

{

trace(my_var);

}

private function init(e:Event = null):void

{

removeEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE, init);

}

...

}

}

Thanks again!

But I have still this error:

1120: Access of undefined property my_var.

In line:

trace(my_var);

In Main.as

I have changed trace(my_var) to trace ("Hello") and it does not work also.

attach a screenshot of your properties panel that shows Main is your document class:
