ActionScript 2.0 :: Initializing LoadMovie Variables?
Apr 16, 2004Im having trouble loading a clip through loadMovie and setting some properties of that newly loaded movie at the same time. For example I have an XML object loading data from a php page. The onLoad for that XML object loads a basic table movie, and tries to set the title and body fields of that movie. The problem is that I can load the movie, but I cannot set the properties of that movie until much later. Below are the examples of the failing code.I just cant figure out how to load data into a loaded movie. Ive even tried to include the table movie in the library of the main movie, so theres no loading latency. Even preloading the movie and jut duplicating that preloaded movie.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Flash - Sending Variables With Loadmovie?
Mar 30, 2006Why does everything in Flash have to be such a pain in the ***? You think you're going to do something simple in 5 seconds of typing, but half of the times it turns out you're wasting hours searching for a way around some stupid restriction of flash.This time I made a movie that uses some variables that are specified in the .html (FlashVars). Sending these variables from html to the flash movie is no problem. But I tried to see if my movie still works when it's loaded into a holder movieclip. So I use the following code to load the movie and send the same variables to it:
PHP Code:
mc_holder.loadMovie("imageviewer.swf?width=700&height=350&imageList=afbeeldingen.txt&settings=ivsettings1.xml");

ActionScript 2.0 :: Using Global Variables In Swf's Imported Using LoadMovie?
Jan 28, 2005I have been looking for posts regarding using global variables in and from external movies, I am having problems, but am sure it is easy enough to do.
In the main movie I define a global variable _global.shorts = false.
I have a button with the following on...
on (release) {
_global.shorts = true;
popup_mc.loadMovie(shorts.swf, "POST"); //I've also tried GET!
}
This opens a popup window into an empty movie clip on my page, and turns off a variety of properties.
In my setup script on the first frame I have:
if(_global.shorts == false){
carryOnAsNormal;
}
if(_global.shorts == true){
disableA;
[Code]....
and does not write "false" back to the global that was defined on the setup script, rather it creates it's own "local" global variable called _global.shorts which is no good to man nor beast!
I have tried using _root._global.shirt, _root.shirt, adding the variables to the loadMovle call, but nothing seems to let me trace the global with the correct value in the shirt popup.
Is there something I need to do to pass the variable to the shirt.swf when I load it?
Professional :: Losing Variables Using LoadMovie In Input Text Field?
Aug 22, 2011im trying to load an swf into another swf that has a variable in the text input field. Im a designer and not a programmer but I am using this tutorial to get started in loading a form with a variables in it.[URL]..
What im doing is trying to duplicate is the text box so that when i want to load new_box.swf (with a variable name "company") into main.swf into a movieclip with an instant name "loader." using this:
on (release) { loadMovie ("new_box.swf", "_root.form.loader");}
I can get the movie to load but it loses the variable "company" in the process and when i send the form it doesnt work. If i just keep it in the main timeline it works but not when i loadMovie.
ActionScript 2.0 :: Variables/functions "pushed" To Level0 On LoadMovie?
Oct 30, 2006I'm trying to get an interface that will load external MCs that contain timeline control functions in them. Basically these are long "topics" that currently interface through a web content program - I would like to unify them into a single flash-based interface, but the functions that are in the external flash files, such as this:
dwnLine = function () {
totalBytes = getBytesTotal();
loadedBytes = getBytesLoaded();[code]......
get pushed to level0 when you load the next MC, instead of just being deleted with the old MC. I've tried creating a function on the root timeline to delete the variable and the specific function names, but its not working, it just fights with the phantom functions endlessly creating/deleting the variables. This is turn screws up the timeline in the new MC that was loaded. Does anyone know why/what Flash is doing here? If I knew the reason it was being pushed up to level0 I could stop it,
on (release) {
loadMovie ("Loader1.swf", "/contentclip");
}
to load the new MCs into a container MC called "contentclip"
ActionScript 2.0 :: Defining Variables - Unique To Load SWFs Instead Of Declaring All The Variables
Mar 21, 2012I 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.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Load Data From Different Variables - The New Variables Come Back As Undefined?
Jun 15, 2010I'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.
ActionScript 3.0 :: Array Variables, Variables Not Working Correctly?
Jul 11, 2011There is a bird, and you control its upwards movement with a key. It has thrust, gravity, it works fine. The problem is I have a bunch of icicles that come at the bird that he is supposed to avoid. I tried this first with math random to use as an x coordinate and than move across the screen, but the icicles had the same x-coordinates sometimes. I tried does not equal(!=) but that doesn't work. I made an array and each number that came out of the array I assigned a different variable. This works fine. I put this variable into the x-coordinate such as mc.x=((n)*60)+480. I did this for five different icicles. All their differnt variables have a different value, and I put them into the same function for each individual video clip, but they still don't go to the right coordinate. Here is the test code just for the initial coordinate of each icicle before it moves...////////////////////////////Quote:

Jan 30, 2009I am working on my first flash website and have been working on loadMovie & unloadMovie. The commands have been working for me and it will load & unload the external .swf in a contentHolderMC. The problem that I am encountering is the loaded .swf width is correct but the height is being reduced, I would guess to about 75%. Is there a way to maintain the external .swf's size? Even if I need to put the code into the external .swf.
I have tried creating a mask inside the contentHolderMC to match the size of the external .swf. When I have looked around for clues to the resizing, I am finding tutorials on how to resize the external .swf into a smaller Movie Clip. That's not what I am trying to do.
