I 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 log's 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:

I've created a Flash video player that I regularly embed into HTML pages and use flashvars to update the path of the video to be played. The variable that I reference is named "videoURL" and is passed as a flashvar using "'flashvars', 'videoURL=myVideo.flv,"
The problem that I am having is when passing that same variable into my SWF when it is loaded externally into a new Flash file. I load the child SWF into my main FLA using the Loader class and I am able to run a successful trace on my variable using "trace(MovieClip(loader.content).videoURL);"
Obviously, I can't overwrite the variable with "videoURL = 'newVideo.flv'" as I have not defined videoURL in the main FLA. So my question is, how do I target my child SWF and what method do I use to pass it a variable? I'd assume that the correct method would also allow me to call a function from within the child SWF.
I hope that someone can explain this to me as every "solution" I've come across either suggests using HTML or Javascript, references AS2, or simply doesn't directly address my problem.

Trying to pass a variable as well and cant seem to escape to pass it. How can I pass using window.open as such: Trying to pass (pid) all i get back is (pid) and not actual pid.How to on a jscommand?
Code:
something.onRelease = function () {
var jscommand:String = "window.open('http://www.someform.php?proj= + (pid)','win','height=200,width=300,toolbar=no,scrollbars=yes');"; getURL("javascript:" + jscommand + " void(0);"); }
I can do a standard getUrl("http://www.someform.php?proj=" + (pid), "_blank"); works fine but no control over window properties.
I want to put a variable at the end of a URL and have Flash "find" that variable. The url would be: [URL] "Campbell" is the variable I want to pass to Flash. I then have this script in the root timeline:
loadVariables (""+agent".txt", this);
I want "agent" to be replaced with Campbell. That way I can have it read a bunch of variables from the txt file. I tried this as well:
loadVariables (""+_root.agent".txt", this);
What am I missing in this?

I am trying to take a PHP variable and pass it along to Flash via Flash vars. My end goal is to pass a string formatted as XML to Flash, but because I'm struggling I've stripped everything down to the basics. I'm just trying to pass a simple PHP string variable to Flash via FlashVars with SWFObject but something isn't right. The page won't load when I try to pass the variable inside of php tags, but it will load if I just pass a hard coded string. The basic structure of my page is that I have some PHP declared at the top like so:[code]How do I pass a PHP variable using SWFObject and FlashVars?

View 6 RepliesI am using CS4 and been learning to code in AS3.0 instead of 2.0. I ran into problem with pass variables from php to flash when I was coding a photo gallery that checks for existing directories. After LOTS of testing, it turns out I simply can't get URLLoader to work correctly. Here is what I have for testing purpose:
[Code]...
I have been looking all over online for working example of pass variable from php to flash in as3.0, but none of them seem to work in my situation.I have tried to remove the '&' in front of name1 as some post has suggested, and flash isn't able to detect the variable anymore. I have no idea why the variable name1 contains more than just the value in $value (e.g. '$value");' ), flash seems to correct everything right after '&'. I used to code with AS2.0 with loadVar and that was totally fine, I just can't get the code working in 3.0.
I am trying to pass a variable from a text file into a variable in flash and trace it to screen. This is what I have done so far, but its not working. I have created a text file in the same folder as my flash. In the text file I have this:

View 3 RepliesI have this website that has several sections(Abouts Us, Projects, Services ect.) in it and I want it to automatically go to one of them(Services) if people enter the website through a url I am sending through a email campaign about Services. I know I can just attach a variable to the url but it seems I have to specify the .swf so that the url just loads that .swf and not the webpage.
