addEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE, setListener);

added in the initialiser, that then will check for parent events, eg.

private function setListener(event:Event):void{
this.parent.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, listenForClick);
}

In the parent script:

Retrieve the value via, eg:

private function listenForClick(event:Event):void{
trace(“parent said click” + event.target.videoName);
//but to check right object is sending the event and not any click, use:
if(event.target.name == “menuItem_mc”){
videoURL = event.target.videoName;
doConnection();
}
}//listenForClick

myvideo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, doLoop);
function doLoop(event:Event):void{
myvideo.autoRewind=true;
myvideo.play();
}

What I like about this is that you can have more of a brochure instead of a magazine / book as a lot of the time one tends to create brochures more and also it is a bit more unique. Andrew coded this in ActionScript 3 and since he knows far more than I do about the subject I will not go into the technical aspects of it.

In summary this is what it does:

Brochure Open Engine uses 6 images in the library to create an interactive animated brochure opening, flipping over, and closing.The images can be easily replaced (provided the symbols are kept centered). File size is dependent on the size of the images used. All symbols are editable in the Library. Size is fixed based on the required area to display the full brochure, user can adjust as needed.

If you like the sounds of it have a look on Flashden, and even better you can always buy it!

Now reads as one tag without needing to do things like &lt;b&gt; to create a B tag.

The main reason for this really is that we both keep losing our ‘stuff’ – Photoshop brushes, CSS, HTML and Action script code snippets etc. At the moment we are still sorting through everything so it might take a bit of a while to get this going.
