View 14 RepliesI need to take a user from a html link to a specific anchor point in the Flash website... that's easy enough. But the problem then is that the site is blank until it has loaded the relevant section. There's a preloader at the start of the whole site, but if a person jumps right in, it appears that nothing's happening for a while -which doesn't look very good- then the page appears. Is there a way to take the user to the first frame so that the preloader does it's bit, and then use the flash vars command to check the link they had come from, and jump then to the relevant section?
View 5 Repliesi made a video player with the xml playlist , it's a video channel indeed, it's embed swf in html. but my boss would like me to put a link on the web, when user click the link, it would directly play the specific video inside the video channel. is it possible to do it without server side script but javascript?
View 1 RepliesI am trying to create a param value in my html pages and having my swf access that variable but it's not working.
HTML PAGE (inside of the video player object tags)
<param name="FlashVars" value="thisVid=colorKingEAR.flv" />
FLASH Actionscript (on the 1st frame of the swf)
var currentVid:String = _root.thisVid; //This does not work
I am really new at Flash. So I am trying to make a flash container that display Vimeo videos. Here is my actionscript.
var videoContainer:Sprite = new Sprite();
var moogaloop:Sprite; // the video player
var moogaplayer:*; // reference to the moogaloop api
var player_width :int = stage.stageWidth;
var player_height:int = stage.stageHeight;
[Code] .....
And I want to set the vidId by URL. For example: [URL]. And it doesn't work. It works fine if I set the video id in open ()
As a PHP junior encountering Flex for the first time this scratches my brain for days. The flashvar contains the source of the video I want to play in the Flex video component. The HTML of the player looks like:
function createPlayer(videoSource){
document.writeln("<div id="player">");
document.writeln("<object width="489" height="414" FlashVars=""+videoSource+"">");
document.writeln("<param name="player" value="bin-debug/FlexPlayer.swf">");
document.writeln("<embed src="bin-debug/FlexPlayer.swf" name="player" width="489" height="414" FlashVars=""+videoSource+"">");
document.writeln("</embed>");
document.writeln("</object>");
document.writeln("</div>");
}
I tried to call the FlashVars in the FlexPlayer.mxml but it's not working. What I have to apply in the source in the mxml to access the FlashVars.
<s:VideoPlayer id="Player" left="0" top="0" width="497" height="414" skinClass="MySkin" source="FlashVars"/></s:Group>
I need to retrieve a value in as3 from a html page on a particular event say "mouse-click".We cannot use flashVars as it is obvious that i need the value on a particular event
View 2 RepliesSo I'm building a Flash/HTML hybrid website that uses a Flash navigation. Within the index.html file there is an Iframe that loads the different pages of content. I used this method so the whole page didn't have to refresh only the content being loaded.
Well I have some buttons on the inner pages that will redirect to other inner pages. The problem with this is the Flash navigation is still stuck on the old page. The Flash nav says you're on the home page while the content being displayed is the about page. Get it?
I've looked into some articles on using FlashVars but it doesn't really apply to my site because of the Iframe.
I can load up my .swf in Firefox and using the flashvars url:
test.swf?movie=2 works fine
when i try to use: test.html?movie=2
it does not do my requested action. what tag do i need in the html to allow this to work.
In many tutorial i have find how to use FlashVars in embed or object tag of html. I used the FlashVars in an html file as follows:
[Code]...
Then in the fla I tried to display the userName in a text field. But its displaying undefined. Should I define any method in fla to access the FlashVars variable.
I am creating a simple image viewer using AS3 and getting image URLs from flashVars in the HTML. I want to use an if argument to have it perform one function if there is only one flashVar and another if there are more.
I have it reading the flashVars fine and can write if statments all day long, the trouble I am having is counting the number of flashVars being passed from the HTML. here is a real dumbed down version of what I am trying to do (which doesnt work because I can not figure out the correct process to follow):
[as]
var numberOfVars:Number = 0; // to store the number of flashVars
var paramObj:Object = LoaderInfo(this.root.loaderInfo).parameters; //get the flashVars
[Code].....
I tried many Flash .swf before and they all can be scaled freely -- by using a width and height in the HTML, and sometimes in the URL params or flashvars. But is it true that all Flash object can be scaled? For example, can some Flash objects using absolute coordinates to plot graph so that every 10 pixels it marks 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and no matter what is done at the HTML or any where else, it just won't scale and the browser can't do anything about it either? Is there a way to scale it to half the size for that graph? (that is, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 is separated by 5 pixels instead of 10 pixels)

I am working on creating a Flash menu that, depending on the page calling the swf file, will show a specific frame just for that page. It works almost perfectly except for the very first time you access the swf during a given browser session. If you refresh the browser window, it will start working just fine after that as long as you stay in that same window.Incidentally, this is only for IE. It won't work at all in Firefox. It pulls the first set of frames, which is a template menu for one of the departments.The HTML code providing the variables:
*********************START HTML CODE*******************************
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript"> AC_FL_RunContent( 'codebase', 'http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#ve rsion=10,0,0,0', 'width', '150', 'height', '500', 'src', 'flash/ucfshsunitmenu', 'quality', 'high', 'pluginspage', 'http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer', 'align', 'middle', 'play', 'true', 'loop', 'true', 'scale', 'showall', 'wmode', 'window', 'devicefont', 'false', 'id', 'flash/ucfshsunitmenu', 'bgcolor', '#000000', 'name', 'flash/ucfshsunitmenu',

I hope someone can help me with my dilemma. I have built a video player in ActionScript 3.0 which consists of a FLA file which has the video player on it and a separate AS file that contains all my ActionScript 3.0 code for the video player. I have moves (FLV & MP4 files) stored on my Flash Media Server 3.0 server. If I hard code the name of the movie in the AS file and publish the FLA file, it creates an SWF file that will actually play the movie on the FMS3 server. That lets me know the video player works.

I have a scenario that I get an string with html data, this is not just html data it's an email (outlook) saved as an html file and dropped in the string.Now this string needs to be formatted to an html document and should be a clickable link in a datagrid. So when I click on the link, the HTML document should pop-up and should gave me a nice HTML page that is readable for the normal users. I hope it's a bit clear what I want o_0. don't know where to start.
View 3 RepliesI'm trying to use FlashVars to pass a FLV path from html a FLVPlayback instance. I get how this is supposed to work, but I can't find any good documentation on the needed ActionScript. The closest thing I could find was a discussion about a script that looked something like this:
[Code]...
I am having trouble getting an flv dynamically into a swf file and then getting it to play in a browser.
The objective seems simple enough but I've hit a brick wall. A movie file is to play in the entire browser window (100%) and preserve aspect-ratio when the window is resized.This is done using this code, which is loaded as the document class (Vid.as) in an empty .fla project using CS3

I am sending variables from my html page:
Code:
<param name="FlashVars" value="nameCheck=boo&imageCheck=image01.jpg">
...in the parameters section of the flash object code.
I know that to extract the info I need to basically use:
Code:
var paramObj:Object = LoaderInfo(this.root.loaderInfo).parameters;
...in my as3 code but I am wondering what would be the syntax to return a text field containing the sent variable 'boo' and fill an image area with the file name from the variable 'imageCheck'?

View 1 RepliesIm new to placing external data into Flash. I just got CS3 and Im trying to use Flash to dynamically load XML data via a FlashVars call in the HTML.
The problem is I have followed the very straight forward AS2 Help files for using FlashVars and URL variables.I have placed the code directly from the Help file into the Html between

I've got a few areas where I'm displaying XML driven content in Flash. I'd like then to be able to have links shown as well so the user can continue to navigate the page. How do I add an HTML link in the XML so that it displays properly in Flash? Does something need to be added to the ActionScript or is it all done in the XML?
HTML Code:
function loadXML(loaded) {
if (loaded) {

View 3 Repliesi made this cool nav bar in flash and i would like to put it into my dremweaver html file,
however that file is not uploaded to the web
I have a box and is assigned as a button. In AS2 would be something like this: getURL("urltoload", "target"); But I am doing it in AS3, so I can learn more. I just want to add a HTML link, so when someone clicks on the box, a different page will load in the same browser, no pop-ups.
View 9 RepliesI'm working on the drop down menu with xml (from this site - [URL]), and I need to link to specific frames in my flash file, but it seems to be in html, is this possible to do?Or if not, I am building this drop down menu by hand and my actionscript looks like this:
//when you initialize your buttons set them to invisible like this
stars._visible = false;
starsa._visible = false;
stars1._visible = false;
[code]....
and this is only from 3 buttons,I have 2 choices but I would like to know the better, more easier route.
what do I need to do if I'm using web_txt.text to load in xml.
but I want to have that be a link from the xml...?
I've been told: web_txt.text.htmlText but that seems like it messing things up and when I put the html tag into the xml file it wont load any of the code under it.
