Calling Function from Externally Loaded SWF into Main SWF

programming flash
1

I’m new to Actionscript 3.0. Help?

I’ve written a script that takes keyboard input to turn movieclips on and off in a swf file (like the visible/invisible layer function in photoshop). Then I’m attempting to load the *.swf (image.swf) into a zoom/pan flash file from flash den. When I load it in, the keyboard controls no longer work.

I’ve tried importing the keyboard control function (keyDownListener) into the main zoom.fla with this script:

import flash.display.Loader;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
import flash.events.*;


var loader:Loader;
var req:URLRequest;
var loadedSWF:Object;
loader = new Loader();
addChild(loader);
            
req = new URLRequest("image.swf");
loader.load(req);

// check when we're done loading        
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.INIT, initHandler);
	

function initHandler(e:Event):void {
	
    loadedSWF= loader.content;
   
	loadedSWF.keyDownListener();
	  
}

It returns the errors:
ArgumentError: Error #1063: Argument count mismatch on image_fla::MainTimeline/keyDownListener(). Expected 1, got 0.
at zoom_fla::MainTimeline/initHandler()
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
at image_fla::MainTimeline/frame1()

And if it helps, this is the script I have running on the image.fla file:

import flash.events.KeyboardEvent;


//keycodes
var one:uint = 49;
var two:uint = 50;
var three:uint = 51;
var four:uint = 52;
var five:uint = 53;
var six:uint = 54;
var seven:uint = 55;
var eight:uint = 56;
var nine:uint = 57;
var lightenON:uint = 76;
var darkenON:uint = 68;
var lightdarkON:uint = 65;
var bringforward:uint = 70;


stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN,keyDownListener);


function keyDownListener(e:KeyboardEvent) {


		
if (e.keyCode==one){
		
		if (parcel13d.alpha==0){
			
			parcel13d.alpha = 1;
			parcel13l.alpha = 1;
		} else {
		parcel13d.alpha= 0;
		parcel13l.alpha= 0;
		
		}
	}
