ActionScript 1/2 :: How To Pass Variables Between Loaders
Jul 23, 2010
I am trying to load an image, with descriptive text and a back button on the click of a thumbnail of the image. I am using a MovieClipLoader instance to do this.
Here are my problems: I tried loading the image, with the text(which is within an external swf), using the same loader, but since I am placing them dynamically, depending on the dimensions of the image, I need to pass variables between the two. The image loader is taking longer than the text (obviously) but I need the dimensions of the image before I can place the text. How do I do that??
2. I tried using two loaders, with separate listeners, and the problem once again is that the text loads before the image, and is hence placed with default values instead of the values derived from the image. The code is within onLoadInit(). Is it possible for me to get the dimensions of the image from onLoadStart()???
3. There is a back button within the text.swf. I want the image and the text.swf to be unloaded when this button is clicked. How can I achieve that? Can I call loader.unloadClip(target), from within this? Will it recognize the variable?

I'm trying to create a series of Loaders in a for loop whose names are created from an Array.If "eval" existed in AS3, the code might look something like this:
var i:int;
var tnArray:Array = new Array("tn0","tn1", "tn2");
for (i = 1; i <= 10; i++){

I am trying to load an AS2 swf from an AS3 swf. The AS2 swf which was written long back, expects parameters from the timeline(_root). These were passed to it before from HTML using flashvars. Now I am trying to get rid of the HTML pages, by directly loading the AS2 swf from the AS3 swf. However, when I try to load the AS2 swf using the Loader class, the swf loads fine, but the parameters are not getting passed on.
I tried to add the query string to the url parameter I used in the URL request used for the Loader, but that did not work.(Adding URL variables as data to URLRequest did not work either.)

I want to have a button and when clicked, it does the equivelent of going to this php address and executes the php, as it would by typing into address bar. Simply activates php script with variables.
Code:
http://yoursite.dom/public/list.php?email_address=newuser@domain.com&group_ids=1&action=subscribe&firstname=John&lastname=Doe

I use actionscript 2 but would consider myelf a novice as I am more into design.

So I have an SWF8 file as a player on one domain (unsecure). It loads and plays an SWF8 from another (secure) domain. So far so good. Trouble is, I need the player to send variables to the files it's playing so that links in that SWF will, well, link. I also need the player to receive some movie control commands in return. There must be a rule or two I'm violating, because while the file plays, anything that depends on a variable is just dead.
A note: Both files started out as SWF6. I understand I can only do what I'm trying to with SWF8, so I went through the code and fixed the case sensitive issues and did the conversion.

I know PHP, JavaScript and AJAX. All of these other languages easily allow me to pass variables through a function, but I can't seem to work out how to do it in ActionScript 3. As you can see from the code below, I have created a variable called 'flag', this variable is set to 'notAdded'. However, once the function is called, I want to change the variable to 'added'. This for some reason does not work, the variable update only works within the function itself. There seems to be no global scope for functions.
Code:
var flag:String = "notAdded";
bobRunning.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP , bobRunningUp);
if (flag=="notAdded"){function bobRunningUp(event:MouseEvent):void{ bobRunning.width = 30;
bobRunning.height = 30;
flag = "added";
}}trace(flag);

I want to send the contents of a variable to a class where it can be used in its functions. Since I have no experience with object orientated programming what so ever I tried to break it down into real simple code so I can understand better what's going on and how I can implement it in my main code.I made a test file and a test class, basicly I just want to give a variable contents in my main code, then send the variable to the class so the class can trace it. But no matter how I try it i always get "Testoop.as, Line 6 1120: Access of undefined property test.Here is the code:
so this is the FLA:
import Testoop;
var test:String;

I'm trying to pass variables representing name and email address to a swf file. The swf takes a picture with the users webcam and sends the image to save.php for further processing. Currently I have text fields for the user to enter name and email, but I'd like to eliminate them and add the info behind the scenes. Basically this is what I'm trying to accomplish:
1.Page loads and stores name and email address in variables(index.php).
2.I'd like to pass name and email address variables to flash to be included with the image the swf sends to a php file for processing (save.php)
3.Page loads flash content(take_picture.swf) and does it's thing.
I've got this working in a similar situation using Zend AMF, where the swf gets all the info passed back from another page accessing the database. Here I have the data I need without accessing the database. I've tried many variations using FlashVars, but nothing has worked yet. One thing I seem to be missing is when I publish the fla, there is no ac_fl_runcontent in the html code Flash publishes. And there is no <embed src=... either. This div is the body of the html file Flash gives me:
<div id="flashContent">
<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="760" height="1000" id="take_picture" align="middle">
