Hi all, I've been building a world cup quiz. I have a combobox that loads a swf with the questions in. On the first swf the user chooses a country which loads a swf onto the stage which contains the questions. I cant work out how to pass the country name from the combobox to the new swf.
my ComboBox and swf load code is as follows:
package {
import flash.events.*;
import flash.display.*;
import fl.controls.ComboBox;
import fl.data.DataProvider;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
import flash.display.Loader;
import flash.events.ProgressEvent;
public class yahoo extends MovieClip {
private var bg:background_mc = new background_mc();
private var goal:goal_mc = new goal_mc();
private var soccerStars:soccerStars_mc = new soccerStars_mc();
/*private var replayBtn:replayBtn_mc = new replayBtn_mc();*/
private var comboBox:ComboBox = new ComboBox();
public function yahoo() {
stage.addChild(bg);
bg.x = 300;
bg.y = 300;
stage.addChild(goal);
goal.x = 450;
goal.y = 180;
stage.addChild(soccerStars);
soccerStars.x = 10;
soccerStars.y = 10;
/*stage.addChild(replayBtn);
replayBtn.x = 580;
replayBtn.y = 40;
replayBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, replay);*/
stage.addChild(comboBox);
comboBox.x = 200;
comboBox.y = 300;
comboBox.dropdownWidth = 200;
comboBox.width = 200;
comboBox.prompt = "Select a nation";
comboBox.dataProvider = new DataProvider (worldcupNations);
comboBox.addEventListener(Event.CHANGE, changeHandler);
}
/*Creates the Array of nations*/
var worldcupNations:Array = new Array (
{label:"Algeria"},
{label:"Argentina"},
{label:"Australia"},
{label:"Brazil"},
{label:"Cameroon"},
{label:"Chile"},
{label:"Cote d'Ivoire"},
{label:"Denmark"},
{label:"England"},
{label:"France"},
{label:"Germany"},
{label:"Ghana"},
{label:"Greece"},
{label:"Honduras"},
{label:"Italy"},
{label:"Japan"},
{label:"Korean DPR"},
{label:"Korea Republic"},
{label:"Mexico"},
{label:"Netherlands"},
{label:"Nigeria"},
{label:"Paraguay"},
{label:"Portugal"},
{label:"Serbia"},
{label:"Slovakia"},
{label:"Slovenia"},
{label:"South Africa"},
{label:"Spain"},
{label:"Switzerland"},
{label:"Uraguay"},
{label:"USA"}
);
function changeHandler (e): void {
/*Load in external swf */
var loadSwf:Loader = new Loader();
var requestSwf:URLRequest = new URLRequest("Quiz/Quiz.swf");
loadSwf.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onCompleteHandler);
loadSwf.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, onProgressHandler);
loadSwf.load(requestSwf);
/* Add swf to stage */
function onCompleteHandler (loadEvent:Event) {
stage.addChild(loadEvent.currentTarget.content);
}
/* Progress tracking*/
function onProgressHandler(mProgress:ProgressEvent) {
var percent:Number = mProgress.bytesLoaded/mProgress.bytesTotal;
trace (percent);
}
}
}
}
