AS3 Calling a parent function from a child movieclip

 / Published in: ActionScript 3

I believe there are more elegant ways of doing this, but this does work for referencing a function on the main timeline of a shell/parent movieclip by a loaded, child movieclip. This would be useful particularly when you have a separate navigation SWF that is loaded into a shell/holder.

  1. // adjust "this.parent.parent" as needed
  2.  
  3. if(this.parent.parent != null){
  4.     var parentObj:Object = this.parent.parent as Object; 
  5.     parentObj.traceMe()
  6. }
  7.  
  8. // in your parent SWF you will want, of course, a function like this:
  9. // function traceMe():void
  10. // {
  11. //      trace("success");
  12. // }
