Passing parameter to a loaded external .SWF

[KoRnBoy82]

I have this code. Each buttons returns a number that I want to pass as a parameter to the other SWF. How can I achieve this? I never used parameters yet and I'm searching a lot in the forums without success.

Thank you.

import flash.events.Event;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
import fl.display.ProLoader;
var loadClip: ProLoader = new ProLoader();
addChild(loadClip);
F1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,btnpressed); 
F2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,btnpressed);
F3.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,btnpressed);
function btnpressed(e:MouseEvent):void{
     e.target.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,btnpressed);
e.target.enabled = false;
     e.target.visible = false;
var btnName:String = e.target.name;
var input:String = btnName;
     var pattern:RegExp = /F/;
     var output:String = input.replace(pattern, "");
trace(output);
loadClip.load(new URLRequest("cadeaux.swf"));
}

you don't need to pass anything.  cadeaux's main timeline's parent.parent is the timeline that's the parent of loadClip.

cast that parent.parent as a movieclip and you can directly reference objects from cadeaux.

I didn't think about this. So I just need to input MovieClip(this.parent.parent); to accès the variables in the parent movie from the child. I did this in another project a long time ago, I forgot about this while doing other programming languages.

MovieCLip(this.parent.parent) from the loaded swf's main timeline would reference the parent of your proloader.

So what should I do to access parent's variables from the loaded child? Currently it returns "null". I want to access "output" variable. Thanks.

Child:

var btnPressed:String = MovieClip(this.parent.parent).output; trace(btnPressed);

you made output local to a function so it’s not available outside that function.

Thank you, you are right. It now works. Thanks a lot.
