ActionScript 2.0 :: Pass String To Variable
Mar 12, 2006I'm creating a webpage where all the content is within the same swf. In order to get things to work I have all my different content in different MC's. Each of those separate MC's have two frames inside. One where it's empty and the other where the content is displayed. To make this work I have a variable name 'page'. My menu is supposed to pass a string to this variable and at the same time trigger a transition to be played ('doors' sliding over and hiding the stage).
Then the transition sets all my content MC's to the hide position. Then it checks what the page variable is and sets the corresponding content MC to show before the 'doors' open again. At least that's how it's supposed to work in theory. But I haven't figured out how to do all this. First off I don't know how to get my menu to pass that string to the 'page' variable. Here's my menu with the problem area marked:

ActionScript 3.0 :: Pass A String Variable To A SWF So That Can Specify A XML File To Load
Jun 14, 2010I want to pass a string variable to a SWF so that I can specify a XML file to load without republishing the SWF. When I assign the string variable to a textfield it is correct.But when I use that variable in the loader it does not display the XML from that file.You can see below that I commented out the string "lesson_11/images/0301_objectives.xml".If I put this string in the loader it works, if I use the string variable in its place it does not work.
Code:
var xmlFileToLoad:String;
var myQueryString:Object;

Mar 7, 2012how you would target a function's local variable through a concatenated variable string.For example:
var txt = "Hello World";
function testing(msg) {

I'd expect the trace to be "Hello World" but rather is given "undefined". So if variables created outside functions are created on the main timeline, where are local function variables created and how would you access them?

Nov 8, 2005I was just wondering if it's possible to pass a variable from one swf to a function on another swf?
I have 2 containers on my main stage, each one loads an external swf, I want one to send a variable to a function in the other container.
I simply tried calling the function by doing _root.container2.fncTest("works"); just to see if it works
and in container2 I have
Code:
function fncTest(test):Void {
myText = test; //dynamic text box on the stage
}
but that didn't seem to work.. Do I have to make the function public or that only works for classes?
ActionScript 3.0 :: Pass A External Variable To A Function?
Aug 6, 2010I have an external log file which name changes each session, with the format XXXXX.log
I need to load it inside a swf to show its data, but each time the logs name is different, I need to open the .fla, changing the name of the file and then republishing the swf.
So I have made a simple script to load another .txt, to type manually in it the 5 number of the logs name and load it externally inside the swf:
Code:
var logNumLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
logNumLoader.dataFormat=URLLoaderDataFormat.VARIABLES;
logNumLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, loadedLogNum);
[Code]....
While I cannot assign the value of logNum to the last function, the .log cannot be opened.
