how can I do this trick and keep different vars for each mc?
for(var i=0; i<arr.length; i++) {
var mc[i] = _root.createEmptyMovieClip('mc'+i, _root.getNextHighestDepth());}
I have created a movieclip. This movieclip will have 5 child Sprite's, which will contain an image pulled from xml. I want to create a for loop to create those 5 Sprite's, add the appropriate image into each one (i.e., img[0] into sprite[0]) and then add each sprite to the movieclip.

I've created a loop to define onPress functions for a group of movieclips. The code is here:
Code:
var select:String = "none";
var elist:Array = ["dappled", "panda", "red", "blue", "green", "gray", "fire", "earth", "water", "garden"];
[Code]....
All the mcs now have an onPress function. However, they all define the "select" variable as the last item in the array. Is this because every mc is referencing the new curs? I'm not really sure... Is there a way I can fix this so select is given the correct (unique) value every time?
I have a class called FC. I want to automatically put all instances of it on an array. I think the best way to do this would be to use a loop. I would usually use a For Loop to automatically add code to object by having flashplayer run through the display list. However, instances of my class are not added to the display list. How can I automatically apply code to them?
View 1 RepliesI built this site out in as2 and have to convert it to as3. It appears the same logic flow and coding just doesn't apply since everything has changed on an event level. The idea is to load thumbnails dynamically and upon clicking the thumbnail retrieve the loaded variable (i) in the array per the XML loop. I'm trying to figure out what I'm doing wrong in logic flow as it keeps coming up "undefined" or pulling up the last one after the whole thing's loaded. I'd copy the exact code but there's a lot of variables. So I'll post this basic structure to give an idea of what I'm doing. The bold print is where I'm stuck in terms of getting a trace.

i am trying to load vars from a text file into a load vars object.
var kitchentext = new LoadVars();
kitchentext.load('moccastext.txt');
Once in the object, i thought i could reference them like so
kitchentext.name
kitchentext.style
but i am having trouble doing this.
i have a textbox called displytext.
_root.displaytext.text = kitchentext.name;
doesnt work
I'm building a little application in AS3 but I need to get variables from PHP. I searched on the internet on how I should do that. It makes the connection, but it doesn't get the variables. It just prints whole my php script.

I think this should not be a big deal, but I do not get it to work. I got a "MainFlash" witch loades an XML with about 60 variables (Settings), in base of a paramater then this "MainFlash" loades another "FlashMovie" and this one needs, all, the same Variables too.
How do I properly pass all the Vars in the new/other "FlashMovie"?
U need to know I use LoadMovieNum to Level 0 I do replace the "MainFlash", cause the new loaded "FlashMovie" can have a completly different height and width ( ...I don't think it's possible to change the Document-Setting in a compiled swf, or is it? If this is possible I would not need to load a separate swf to Level 0. the main SWF usually ist about 320x180, the following can be 2x, 3x bigger...
var navChildXml:XML = <subpoint>
<text>XML(_nodes[prop].childNodes[inc].title)</text>
<link>XML(_nodes[prop].childNodes[inc].title)</link>
</subpoint>;
how to in this instance
the vars are not being declared
I would like to create a loop so the icons in the menu continually loop indefinitly.[code]
View 2 RepliesI am attempting to use a loop to create text field with the loop's current value. The code looks like this:
ActionScript Code:
for (var i = 1; i<=10; i++) {
var 'nameHolder'+[i]+'_txt':TLFTextField = new TLFTextField();
'nameHolder'+[i]+'_txt'.x = 40
'nameHolder'+[i]+'_txt'.y = 40
'nameHolder'+[i]+'_txt'.text = "Hello World"
}
So essentially what it should do is create 10 text fields at 40, 40 with the text: "Hello World".

I've created a Flash interface that sends variables to PHP to place in MySQL.In Flash I have the following AS2 (abbreviated) ..
myVars=new LoadVars();
submit_btn.onRelease=function() {
myVars.username=_root.username;[code]..........
Invariably the else statement is deployed and a new record is inserted into the database even when the username and passwords (md5 encrypted) are identical. I've been on PHP forums and nobody has a solution, so I'm wondering if this is a Flash issue. Perhaps even though the username and password in MySQL 'appear' identical to what's submitted by Flash and md5 encrypted they're really not for some reason. I tried trim() and stripslashes() to no avail.
I have set something up for my flashvars. I have a form in html which accepts two inputs. This is then sent to this php page

i have two swf files, a preloader witch loads main.swf
in preloader on the maintimeline i set this var
var lang:String = "de";
but i cant trace it in my main.swf
trace(root.lang);
how do i get this var?
this should be simple as nothing but i just need to get a clearer picture here my PHP has this as final line

where $newPics is a number what do I insert in AS code to to retrieve that variable and store it as an AS variable?
I've surfed for days to find a solution to this. There are a jillion out there, but I haven't found one that works. Suppose I have the following
<?php
header('location:http://www.sleepydad.com?firstName=s...ame=dad');
// the above URL will house my Flash movie
?>
I need to get the values of firstName and lastName into my Flash movie to save as variables (ultimately LoadVars()) and pass as an ID for some MySQL tasks performed in my Flash movie. NOTE the value of the names are not constant (ie sleepy dad). They will change with login - each user having a unique name. I've tried modifying the javascript in my HTML - some.swf?firstName=firstName (in both Object & Embed Tags)

I am working on a project that uses PHP , as3, and possibly some AMFPHP.
The project allows users to upload and download images among other things. I have been trying to gather as much info about making things as secure as possible. I've got some good advise about using .htaccess files, and a few other tricks.
My main question at the moment is how to hide the "path" info from and to the PHP / assets / and to and from the AMFPHP sevices ...
Currently I have all the paths hard-coded in one .as that returns an object with the paths to any of the other classes that need/request it. I found this method to work well since I only need to change this one .AS , and it will branch out to the other classes that need it.
I'm not super worried about others decompiling my code, and they could probably "sniff" out the paths if they really wanted. I'm mostly concerned with allowing others easy access to all of my AMFPHP services or being allowed to parts of the site I do not wish them to be. basically I realize that things aren't gonna be 100% secure regardless, but would like to take precautions.
So to cut to the chase ... Whats the best- simplest way to obscure / hide the paths being used in a PHP - AS3 project ? ... I entertained the possibly of PHP includes or even a SQL database if need be. I rather not spend a bunch of time and money on questionable obfuscator software, unless there's a tried and true one for flash (not flex). .. and I currently do not have a SSL but don't know how critical - common this is.
When I run the flash from my local host (using XAMPP) it all works fine. But when I put the whole thing onto my online web server and change the URL to access the php file, its just coming back as "NaN" ...so why does it work on my local server but not the online one?
View 6 Repliesok I have a load vars function that looks for a txt file and grabs data from it, right now they have to be in the same dir. I'd like to have the txt in the root of my server and then be able to link from any dir in the site...I have: ("dataValues.txt")what should I add before it, I thought maybe a full URL, but no, is it something like ("../dataValues.txt"), basically I want to make the link global for the site - I dont have access to the files right now so I cant just try a bunch of stuff myself.
View 1 RepliesIm trying to pass a huge string (12k) to my flash from the browser using the param embed tags.

The flash recieves the data just fine if its not so large. I know that flash can accept vars that are up to 64k big.
My flash does have a preloader for the swf but I think that I need some kind of LoarVars preloader for it? (oddly enough if I half the data size of the var's being passed in to the flash then it render's just fine in FF but does nothing in IE?)
Well, I've come across a problem and i'm stumped. Anyway, I stumbled upon this aim online presence check in an old AIM pdf file. There is a server check at an aol server to see if a person is online, if they are it sends the browser to the "on_url" setting, if not, it sends the browser to the "off_url" setting. I realized that it doesn't work for some screen names for some reason, but it does for mine, so i wanted to use it in flash. I've tried three ways, and two of them WORK! But, only when I run them from my computer... When I upload it to my host, it doesn't work! Here's the two ways I've tried:
[code]...
Again, the first two WORK when running the SWF locally, but for some reason not on a couple of hosts that i've tried.. maybe i'm going about this the wrong way. I've thought about making some php script to do this then have AS read the PHP, but then i'm not sure about the PHP code on that.
i have just been looking for a simple solution to send vars to php.I have found a lot of threads that have problems but no results.I hope that someone can give me a quick fix..or is this just a mission.

ok, first of all, im not totally sure how to describe my problem so im going to recreate a simple example of what im trying to do...
my problem is that im not sure how to refer to a dynamic mc in a function...i know that sounds confusing but maybe this will help...
lets say i have a function like:
[Code]...
the problem with this is that the function looks for an mc titled "mcName"...and the function is hard coded...what i want to do....is to reuse this function with any movieClip on the timeline i want...so how do i refer to the mc in the function dynamically? i hope this makes sense?
ive also tried something like this
_root[mcName]_x = 123;
but this doesnt work either....ive seen something like this done before...using brackets to target an mc with a var...
i'm trying to fill out dynamic text fields by adding to my url like so:url...if the url could link to the html in which the swf was loaded instead of to the swf directly, that would be even better... but that might or might not complicate things (i don't know)
View 8 RepliesI have to pass some variables to the flash movie (movie.swf?var1=aaa&var2=bbb). never had a problem with using them before.I've read around a lot an tried different coding, but when I export the swf I got the error, that root is unknown...doesn't matter, if I use one of this
var flashvars:Object = root.loaderInfo.parameters;
var flashvars:Object = stage.loaderInfo.parameters; // stage is unknown here..
var flashvars:Object = MovieClip(root).loaderInfo.parameters;
var flashvars:Object = MovieClip(root.loaderInfo).parameters;

noobish question, i have several variables, say var1, var2, var3. In as2 we simply write:
[Code]...
i have to separate swf's, and i need to pass a var from one to the other
initially i thought i could write the var to a text file (do this from the first swf) and then load the var in the second swf
is there an easier way? (i.e. i'm using getURL in the first swf to launch the second swf. could i pass it in that?)
i have this php page..
PHP Code:
<?
include("dbconnect.php"); /// connects to database
//// get data
$SQLstr = "SELECT * FROM programtexter WHERE subject='$select'";

flash reads in the 1st variable _root.pg1text1 and writes it out on the page ok
but how do i make it know when theres a new variable. because it also puts the second part in the 1st variable. it does not break up the variables it just puts all the text into _root.pg1text1
how do i break it up so that each text string is put into the right text string? doing <br> and haviung spaces between dident work
I have need of loops / nested loops that pick different figures depending on where you are in the loop. The whole function needs to run through 'ml' times. 'ml' is a dynamic figure. Loop 1 = While the loop is within the first 12 iterations, 'exconemp' must equal 100. For iterations 13 - 24, 'exconemp' must equal 102.5, for 25 - 36 it will be 105.06, for 37 - 48 it will be 107.69. This needs to change every 12th iteration until it has reached 'ml'. The calculation takes the value of the previous 'exconemp' and then multiplies that by 0.025.
Loop 2 = While the loop is within the first 120 iterations, 'abc' must equal 0.015 and any further iterations must use 0.01. This must also work in a way to figure out whether 'ml' is higher or lower than 120 and work accordingly. My main issue is this - how do I get the loops to run through as this: While the iteration is < 12, do this, THEN take the final figure (12th iteration) and start on 13 - 24, do this THEN etc etc. How do I produce a THEN statement? I can get the code to pick up the final values, but not change along the way.
