ActionScript 1/2 :: Pass Variable Into HTML To Play A Flash File?
Feb 17, 2010
I'm trying to create a simple SWF file that can receive the name of a FLV file in the HTML file and play it since I have many FLV files. Basically using the technique of FlashVars. I've set the contentPath/source in the components to be blank, and set my actions in the first frame to be player.source = filename, as was instructed to do so in a Flash book I am reading. I then set the "filename" variable to a file in the same path as the web page in the HTML file, however, all I get is a blank Flash player skin. The FLV file will not load. I also tried setting the "filename" variable to load the FLV from a public website in the same domain and on another domain, but it still doesn't work.
I 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.
I am trying to do is declare a variable in PHP and pass that variable to my flash file. Right now i am simply trying to do 1 easy variable, more will happen in the future but i need to figure this out first.I have used other forums and they say try this and that, but nothing i do seems to work. here is my code.
this liveDoc covers getting a url variable into flash:http:/[url]....you can pass data to a flash movie by doing the following:[url]....this will create a variable: _level0. variablename with the data: thisisthedata.so far so good.you can then embed this in the published html doc by including your data string in the object/embed tags.like so:
not to bad, so now your html is loading the swf with the url variable. the problem is this data is hard coded into the html.now for the question. how do i get the html to pass the url variable it receives onto the flash?
I'm trying to pass a variable from my main swf to another one that's being loaded in a container in the main swf.I follow this Link,Its Working Fine,My problem is, if i declared the variable within the function i Cannot Access the Variable.
Our art gallery project has a list of several artists.Each artist links to a SWF gallery that will showcase their work.The SWF gallery opens in a popup window.We want to use XML files unique to each artist to call the content for the SWF.This will allow us to have one popup, calling the same SWF for all the artists.This means that the HTML link for each artist needs to pass the XML path for that artist to the SWF as a variable.We are using swobject to embed the SWF in the popup window.
I am adding some movieclips dynamically to stage. If we click on the movieclips, they goto and stop at frame 2. The Click Event for the Movieclip is defined in the base class
I want to pass a variable from one SWF to another swf, both embedded within individual HTML files (lets call them main.html and Events.html) . In movie 1 I have 3 buttons. Based on whichever button is clicked I want to attach a different number in the variable (jumpframe), then pass that through to the second movie over HTML, where it opens at that specific frame number.[code]...
However, I understand that I must get that jumpframe variable from the HTML line into the second flash movie somehow. I believe by adding some code into either the first (main.html) or second HTML file (Events.html), but I have tried so many different solutions I have confused myself.
I know of flashvars, but how would one send a variable into a swf and then for instance change the variables value and then pass it into the swf again?
I was new to Adobe flash, and I am design a webpage which provide a flash game. Then when user play the game it wil have highscore, so I wanna ask how I can pass the value of score and show at my website?getURL("includes/theme/submit.php?game=" + myid + "&score=" + varScore + "&theme=" + themeid);
I would like to pass a value from a text box on stage as the URL or filename to the NetStream.play() argument. example:
var url:String = url_text.text; var conn:NetConnection = new NetConnection(); conn.connect(null);
[Code].....
The point of the matter is that I'm pulling the values from JavaScript/HTML using the ExternalInterface which changes as the user selects next on a HTML page. The page name (URL) is being parsed and passed back as the video filename. I'm using the text boxes currently just to test/view the values being received and sent to JavaScript. The value send and receive fine, I just can not seem to pass the value into the NetStream.play(JavaScriptValue).
function getTextFromJavaScript(str:String):void { sending_ti.text = str; var jsArgument:String = sending_ti.text;
I am trying to embedded a SWF file into dreamweaver. It plays fine in dreamweaver and when you preview it in Firefox or Safari, But when I upload my HTML files and SWF files it does not play and displays the following message "content on this page requires a newer version of Adobe Flash Player". Heres my code and the URL of the website which I am trying to embedded the SWF file [URL].
I have a movie player that works fine when i hard-code the url value in the video function, but when i try to pass that url/file path from an external file, the video doesn't load. I suspect that there is something i'm doing wrong with the quotes. What am i doing wrong?
Using Flash CS4 and having the Flash plug-in ver 10 on my PC, the generated html file will not play the swf in the browser.I noticed that the active-x javascript is now included in the header as well as the javascript portion in the body tag.But it won't play. I get the typical blank window in IE with the "X" in the upper left corner.I don't have this problem with Flash CS3.
I've created a very simple video player that I want to use with many different FLV files on my site. Rather than packaging SWF files with each FLV, I'd like to just design one SWF file and have the corresponding HTML file pass the URL of the FLV as a parameter to the SWF. I've read a lot about passing in parameters from HTML to SWF using AS3, and it seems pretty straightforward. Here's an example of the code I created using Flash CS3 and ActionScript 3.0:
this.loaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,loaderComplete); function loaderComplete(evt:Event):void { //traceText.text = "Loaded";
[Code]....
Note that I'm using the variable "userName" to pass the parameter. Eventually I'd use a variable like "movieURL" to convey the actual URL of the FLV file. In any case, when I run the code, I get ... nothing! Nothing but a blank text box. Both the HTML and SWF files are on my local machine.
If I uncomment the "//traceText.text = Loaded" line, the text box says "Loaded", which would indicate that the event listener is functioning properly.
I created a flash file that contains a flv file inside. After I published it on my Mac in both html and swf format and it played well. But when I copied all this folder include the swf, html and the source flv to test on a pc it played well but the video part (flv) was blank. So I copied the .fla file to pc and published again, then it works fine (including the flv video part) on both pc and Mac. All the settings were same while publishing.So I wonder what's wrong with publish from Mac side? I work with Mac and so it's very inconvenient to publish my work on PC.
I am trying to send a single variable from a flash application to a php file. The user input field in flash will send a variable to the php file for purging of the database. The following returns nothing. There is no error. I believe the error is in the php and not the flash. Here is my actionscript for the flash[code]...
I have main in .as file, in that file i loaded the .swf file now i want to take the values from .swf and pass it into .as file how can i do this? Here my Coding !
I made a 'movie' in Premiere and exported as FLV., Its suppose to be a banner on the top of a web page. The site was made with Dreamweaver. When played locally, the banner does great. When I put it on the server, thats a different story. I can tell thats something is there because it loads the background color of the flash file but it doesn't play the FLV.
What I want to do is load the contents of a file and sent it to an mxmlc compiler as an argument parameter. I can load and read the contents of a file using loadfile and setting a property value say propery="filecontent". But the problem is I can pass it into the mxmlc (flex) compiler. I'm not able to pass it (tried with ${filecontent}) to the arg line. Its gives an error: "value contains unknown token 'filecontent'" How will I pass the contents of the file as a argument value to a compiler argument? Edit: The problem is with the include-resource-bundles arguments. When using command line it works. But using ant build doesn't. Do we need to manually provide the name of resource bundles by generating the resource file?
which doesn't work and gives and error -> command line: Error: configuration variable 'include-resource-bundles' value contains unknown token 'resources'
I 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;
I need to pass a variable value contained within a MovieClip to my class file. The MovieClip is my preloader, to which my code will show that upon the initial launch of the SWF. Until the variable is sent, my code assumes the preloader is still running and therefore will not progress. Originally, it was working when I had my class file extend MovieClip and then used this code in the preloader MC:
I have created a SWF file that plays/stops sound. The SWF file works great when previewed in Flash CS4, but does not work when inserted in the HTML file.Here are the 2 files that are automatically generated when I INSERT>MEDIA>SWF in Dreamweaver CS4:
swfobject_modified.js expressInstall.swf Here is the ActionScript3 that I am using in the Flash file:
I have trouble passing a variable from HTML to Flash.I use swf-object2.2.how to code the variable in the html-file and how to receive it in the as-file?Its a simple shopId = 110
I have a task to upgrade a web site. I have a map of ND with some cities on it. I needed to add a new city to the SWF which did not seem to be hard (asuming I did it correct). The action on all the buttons for each city look like this except the name after the # is the city selected.
on (release){ getURL("locations_info.html#minot", "location_content");} In HTML code snip that controls this looked like this : <object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"
I'm new to this so I downloaded the script to create a simple slide show. The swf plays perfectly locally, but when embedded in my html page, it gives me a blank black box. I have attached the xml file and here is a link to the test site. The large box is the image in question.
