ActionScript 1/2 :: Function With Two Variables To Load SWF File
Jan 11, 2010
I'm working on a function that checks for 2 things to pull up the correct .swf file. I have to check for 2 things
·_global.theYear
·_global.theDate
Is there a different way I could write this function to say something like:
checkAll(_global.theYear, _global.theDate) = function(){
loadMovie(_global.theYear,_global.theDate".swf", 1);
}
So when a button is pressed, it runs the function above and fills in the variable. Names in the .swf name, does that make any sense, am I on the right track? Because all the .swf file names are all consistent such as 2009_18.swf, 2007_5.swf., etc. The only problem I see is there are 2 sets of buttons, one when you press it sets the _global.theYear variable and the other sets the _global.theDate variable.
So would one button look like this:
mybtn.onPress=function(){
checkAll(2008,_global.theDate);
}
And the _global.theDate would be set with what the current var is set at as?
how can i load variables from an external txt file?? for example: i have a txt with this values: 123 234 321 how can i load 123 and assign it to a variable??
im trying to use the following code to load variables from a text file (and later a php file). The code is meant to put a movie clip called mcLoading to show that the text is on the way, and then fade the text in and show it on the stage. The whole code block is inside the constructor of a class.
I'm making a XML photogallery. Im using a MovieClipLoader to load multiple images on the screen at the same time. I've assigned variable path to hold image
I am making an audio player app that collects variables based on javascript running on the page. By default it loads 2 mp3s, but I need to be able to re-assign the mp3s that it loads based on different javascript clicks.
I think what I want to do is assign the default 2 songs to variables on file load. Then call a function that re-assigns those variables to the javascript variables passed in. My question is - how do I create a function that only runs on initial load? I assume I could then use javascript to call a different AS3 function to stop the player, re-assign the variables, load the file, and then start it again.
I'm pretty inexperienced with actionscript, and I'm having the hardest time trying to figure out how to load variables from a file and send it to a dynamic text box. The content of an external file, "varload.txt", is "name1=John". Here is actionscript of my flash file:
I'm having with loading variables from a text file that is sitting on a Hard Drive rather than the server?
I would like each computer station to pull data from the server based on their individual Station IDs (which is defined in the text file on the hard drive).
The path to the text file is C:StationID.txt - I am having trouble with defining the PATH to the text file on the actual hard drive.
I've searched, but I don't believe flash (actionscript 2.0) itself offers a "select filefield" and fileupload functionality?
That's why my swf has a button which opens a popup window. In the window the user has the ability to upload a file to the server. That's no problem.
But I would like to send the filename back from the popup to the swf. How on earth can I manage that?
I can't use Loadvars.sendAndLoad in the swf because then my visitor does not see a popup and can't select the files. Loadvars.load doesn't work in popup?
I want to load Variables from a .txt-file to edit the properties of a movieClip. For example: 700 is written in the .txt-file. After loading the Clip the x-position of the clip should be set to 700. How can I do this?
I have small issue in as3. I am load "mainmenu.swf" file into "main.swf". through loader class. so now "main.swf" is parent "mainmenu.swf" file children how can call "main.swf " variable & function from "mainmenu.swf" .
This is for mx 2004. How to load variables from an external txt file at the beginning of flash movie...At various keyframes in the scene the movie shows different forms for user to fill in into the TextInput components. As soon as these forms are shown, the TextInput components are pre-filled with default text (the variable values that were loaded, for example "Enter your title here"). I know how to do this in earlier versions easily with the Var variable but now I'm stuck. I've been trying to do something but I keep getting "undefined" in the TextInput.
im trying to load some HTTP URL from a xml file into a actionscript function..Its xml gallery i was successfull in loading the pics the description but im stuck at the url....The XML file is structured this way....
<Node myURL="images/cow.jpg" myTitle="Cow" myDesc=" libero sed dapibus aliquet, quam risus luctus lacus, vitae tincidunt dui diam dictum mauris. Morbi tempor, Nunc eleifend sapien ut odio pharetra eu aliquet eros fermentum. Proin et nisi vel risus eleifend pulvinar. "myThumb="images/thumbs/cow_thumb.jpg" onlinelink="http://vaughntucker.com/exflowers/"offlinelink="projects/web.swf"/>
I need to place the on and offline links into a onclick button fuction in flash.so i imported the xml data it works fine for the title so i used the same code for the url
here it is... allOnlinelink.push(element .@onlinelink); allOfflinelink.push(element .@offlinelink); the next function pulls the url of the current index var currentWeb:String = allOnlinelink[currentIndex]; var currentCD:String = allOfflinelink[currentIndex];
I have an empty SWF that's sole purpose is to call loadMovieNum and start the project. Each loaded movie has a few variables defined within them - unique to those loaded SWFs. Instead of declaring all the variables in each SWF can I declare all of them in one place, in the first frame of the empty loader it all starts from? I'm thinking I can then declare a variable which each loaded movie can increment as needed for me.
I'm writing code that takes data from mysql that's processed by a PHP script. It's actually a bit bizarre, at least to me. Anyway, here's some basic AS3 code that's moving toward what I want to do:
var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader(); var urlRequest:URLRequest=new URLRequest("receive.php"); urlRequest.method=URLRequestMethod.GET;[code]....
For some reason, the statement "trace(evt.target.data);" produces a whole pile of garbled text before the actual stuff that it's supposed to show Because of problem #1, I've had to include a throwaway variable at the beginning, otherwise the first variable I try to pass into AS3 comes back as undefined. This causes errors when I run my flash movie in the IDE, but when I run it from the browser it doesn't seem to have any effect.But this is the strangest thing of all whenever I make any changes to the database (and subsequently try to load data from different variables), the new variables come back as undefined. For example, let's say that I add another entry to the database, and decide to load students 2, 3, and 4 instead of 1, 2, and 3. When I do that, any new data I've added comes back as undefined, even though when I view the PHP output in my browser, it looks just fine.
And now for the REALLY bizarre part: I'll copy that output, paste it into my PHP script as an echo statement, comment everything else out, and my flash movie runs fine. Even though the output from the PHP script is exactly the same, it gives me errors.
I am trying to load variables from a text file, and have them available from then onwards in the movie, globally so to speak.
While I can read the variable values in a loader function which executes when the text file is loaded, I don't seem to be able to keep those variables available afterwards.
I'm trying to load a swf file within another swf file and then load different swf files from buttons.This is the code I'm using, but I can't get any of the swf files to load.
var Xpos:Number = 0; var Ypos:Number = 0; var swf:MovieClip;[code]...........

Im pretty new with the flash -> php -> mysql thing .. And I have made a script that sends some variables (that a user inserts in some input forms) with some var names, and then php handles it and insert it into my MySQL database its kinda ugly that a page pops up and opens the php page.So I was wonderin' if there is some way to send the variables to the php file and process them inside the flash file. without openin' some fancy browser window ?
I can't seem to remove / unload the external swf files e.g when the carousel.swf (portfolio) is displayed and I press the about button the about content is overlapping the carousel (portfolio) . How can I remove / unload an external swf file from the main flash file and load a new swf file, while at the same time removing garbage collection from memory?
I have basic knowledge of Flash and AS3.0. Suppose i have a flash swf file(main.swf). In this main.swf file, i loaded another swf file(sub.swf) by writing the following code snippet in main.swf file as shown below:
var textLdr:Loader=new Loader(); var noteUrl:String = "AddNote.swf"; var noteUrlReq:URLRequest=new URLRequest(noteUrl); textLdr.load(noteUrlReq); addChild(textLdr);
Now, how to acess the data present in main.swf into sub.swf.Note: Here data represents values/data stored in variables/objects of main.swf file.
i have got a php file (exemple.php) that give a data call MyDataPhp (ex : echo "MyDataPhp=something";)
In my actionscript i try to retrieve MyData with URLLoader with this script
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("example.php"); // Build the varLoader variablevar varLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();varLoader.dataFormat = URLLoaderDataFormat.VARIABLES;varLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,
I need to be able to use a function to change a variable outside of it, and it seems like global scope and the like went out with 2.0 and I need to use 3.0.I would just have the function return a value, but I'm using an 'addEventListener' which has the event and then the function inside.
Example:
Code: var finished = false; myLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, done); function done(evt:Event) {
[code]....
How can variables be changed through a function when you can't set the scope or return a value through it?
