Its feels great when a client succeeds.  From all of us @ MasteredMinds, congratulations Rapid Reporting!

We just completed development today on a solution that add manufacturers coupons to the X-CART e-commercer software written in PHP.  This allows the provider to add coupons that are restricted to one manufacturer.  It allows for the provider to add coupons for a % (percentage) off all manufacturer products in your cart, as well as the ability to add flat rate discounts to all products. We have integrated this into both the backend admin panel and the customer facing part of the system.

Interested in adding manufacturer coupons or other custom development for your e-commerce system?   We have experience with a wide variety of e commerce solutions including OSCommerce, ZenCart, X-Cart, and Magento.  We also provide customized web based solutions for businesses using a variety of languages, tools, and techniques.  Give MasteredMinds a call today, 866 969 MIND (6463).

So your trying to call a function on the parent timeline from a loaded swf.  In as2 this was pretty easy, as you could directly call to the parent.function().  In as3 its a little different because of the way the new movieclip objects are handled… but dont worry.. we have the solution.

In the following example.. lets say you have loaded a movie clip through action script from your library. something like

var myMovie = new movieInstance();
stage.addChild(myMovie);

Now lets assume you are trying to call a function when this loaded movie stops playing on the last frame.

if(this.parent.parent != null){
var parentObj:Object = this.parent as Object;
parentObj.function();
}

this.parent can be adjusted to set the depth of the parent you are trying to access. parentObj.function is the name of the function you are trying to access.

If you have any questions, just post, and we will be happy to assist.
