ActionScript 2.0 :: Flash8 Passing ID From Javascript Without Page Reload
May 21, 2010
I've made a XML based Mp3 player using Flash 8 and AS2. The player is working just fine, I mean playing song on previous and next button. Now I want to enlarge this and my idea is to list all the mp3s on a PhP page and allow user to listen to any song randomly. This means, user can click any song name and that song will start playing in the player.
My problem over here is; the song listing and the player will be on one single page and clicking on any song wont reload that page to play the selected song but just reload the content of the mp3 player.
I know this can be done in Javascript. My thought on this is:
On clicking each song name, I need to call a JS function and pass to it the "ID" of the song. This JS function needs to pass "that ID" to the swf which will play the song.
Keeping aside the complexity involve in ActionScript to fetch the song name as per the passed ID, I need to know how to pass this ID from JS to AS
I want an mp3 player stretched at the bottom of the screen that won't refresh on page reload. I just want to embed a basic mp3 player in some flash, or use jquery, or ajax? Not really sure. I'm most familiar with jquery and would prefer that route. I just not sure how you could have a div that stretches through every page, but only being defined in one page.
I developed a flex website, the web explorer always caches swf file which embedded in HTML. Sometimes I make changes to the flex file, clients computer still view the previous version which stored in cache. How can I force client's web explorer to reload/refresh the swf file?
I have a simple html page with some javascript where if i click a link, it will show a flash video in a div using the swfobject.embedSWF function. I did a test: Uninstalled flash from my machine, then reloaded the page and clicked the link...I correctly saw no video. I then installed flash and came back to the same page (no reload) and the embed still won't work. I know in swfobject 1.5 (I'm now using 2.2), I would be able to embed the swf after the user installs flash, but now the user needs to reload the page in order to get the flash to appear. This is not good for my current situation, anyone know what is going on here? Here is sample code using a youtube video:
On a page I have a an iFrame and a swf, I've been trying to use ExternalInterface to pass values from the swf to the iFrame, anyone ever tried this and had any luck? I won't be able to post any code until tomorrow, will update then if needed.Here is a visualization of what I need to accomplish, perhaps if it can't be done the way I said someone will have a suggestion of another way to accomplish this.
I have an swf loaded in a browswer (fire fox) and i use log on console using [code]I have initialized my swf in the document class on the Event.Added to stage.and i have a clean up function performing all the clean up/exit process in the code on the event [code]Now Doubt that this is being called/ activated/trigered as i am not able to log the start and end of the function to the console.The console log is of firebug.What exactly am i missing here? I would like to call the cleanup function on reload of page or relode of swf or change of page.How do i trigger and log it properly
I have a dynamic text box that loads different external html files that scroll with buttons. When I load a new html file, it starts at the same point that the previous file was scrolled to. I need to reload the text box so that the new file starts at the top.
I have an html form within a flash site. The form is php processed. fix the php file so that after processing the form, the php returns the user to the flash page and reloads the html form. I tried a window.location in the php to send to the page but that did not work. It results in a white rectangle within the html code area (maybe frame but I'm not sure). How can I get just that html form reloaded? I do not want to load the entire page using a URL because that is too slow and I cannot replicate the flash state. BTW, below is a stripped down version of the code to simplify.
I have small flash file calling numbers from xml data. Is there a way to reload XML data using javascript? I mean to click on the button and just XML not whole flash reload?
I've seen something with callExternalInterface() but dont really know how to implement that into my code. Here's code of my AS2:
Code: function loadXMLData(loaded) { if (loaded) {
I'm pretty new to flash and was hoping someone could offer some guidance with shared objects.hen the user refreshes the page by either refreshing or moving to another page the movie replays which is not the desired action.
But this does not work in IE8 as the browser won't refresh the flash contents. Any ideas on how to reload the flash contents without external dependencies like swfobject.js?
Is it possible to pass file names from a running Flash application, which only purpose is to enable multiple-file-selection, to a JavaScript application which handles upload of all files to the server?I have examined various Flash upload solutions (like SWFUpload, Uploadify, etc.) and none of them meets my needs. I want an easy to implement solution (like Uploadify) which also lets me specify various parts of the HTTP request.
The reason I need this is because my upload form uses session cookies (for user authentication) and an CSRF token both passed to the server when uploading files.Is it technically possible to pass filenames (+ paths) to a JavaScript application which then handles the upload?
In my flash file, I embedded a .swf (page flip) that loads when "Clothes" button is clicked in the flash file. When I navigate away from this page, it unloads. However, when i click on "Clothes" again with the .swf, the page flip won't load.Reference: http:[url]....
In my flash file, I embedded a .swf (different page flip from my previous posts) that loads when "Clothes" button is clicked in the flash file.
When I navigate away from this page, it unloads. However, when i click on "Clothes" again with the .swf, the page flip won't load. [URL] To load the pageflip (under "Clothes"), I'm using:
var myLoader:Loader = new Loader(); addChild(myLoader); var url:URLRequest = new URLRequest("magazine_flip.swf"); myLoader.x = -300; myLoader.y = -165; myLoader.load(url); myLoader.unload(); To unload (for all other buttons), I have: myLoader.unload();

I'm using PHP to send variables in the URL so that my Flash movie that is embeded in an HTML page shows a different frame according to which HTML page is called. However, each page has to be reloaded for the Flash to show, b/c on first load it is blank. I've checked all the syntax but can't find the problem.

Has anyone every encountered a problem with having to reload a page to see the Flash?
Here is the code that I've got, I'm also using SWFaddress: Code: function whyPageLoad(event:Event):void { var link:URLRequest = new URLRequest("[URL]"); navigateToURL(link, "_self"); }
The swf exists on a page [URL] and the link above [URL] doesn't work/do anything. I tested the swf on a different URL and it loads the page correctly or if I load it into "_blank" it also works. So it seems to be something with the common URL string that is not causing a page reload.
I have a drag and drop game using a couple external ActionScript files .My game works and all..check there answers and correct ones go into place if they missed some.Now at the end I want a reset button..My movie is all in one key frame and all script are in my .as files How can I reload everthing as if they were just coming to the page..? with All drags enabled and eveything in is its correct.x and .y places...All var are equal to what they need to be equal to etc..
would like to prevent my flash navigation banner from going through the entire animation when someone loads secondary pages. framework is at [URL] at the moment. Basically, want the flash to NOT replay (but still maintain the flashy buttons) when the secondary pages are loaded.... does this need to be done at the button level, or at the top level?
I have an aspx page with a flash movie (gallery) that calls another aspx page which gets the info form a database and returns XML that the movie uses to populate the gallery with. Currently I have it use a query string that is passed through the flashvars so it will get the right info on post back. Is there a way I can reload the movie and pass the variable into flash without a postback? For instance the page doesn't reload, just the flash with the correct set of images.This is the JS used for the movie:
Code:
Select all<script type="text/javascript" src="swfobject.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript"> var flashvars = {};
how could I get a Flash File to call a Javascript Function / Send a Variable back to a browser which Javascript could read?Basically working on something where as, currently at any moment during the web page is open Flash receives a variable.. Needs to process that, then call a Javascript Function in the page or if this can't be done, sends a variable back to the page which javascript will listen for every 500ms or something like this...
I'm using Flash CS3, exporting for flash player 9 and having troubles with the code below only in Firefox 3 (flash player 9 or 10).In IE 6 & 7, all works OK.The code below should show small thumbnails of images. It does work on everything I tested except firefox 3. What is weird is that if I empty my cache and load the page online, it does not show any thumbnails or sometimes only one. However, if i reload the page without emptying my cache, it will then work perfectly.Here is my code :
Code: System.security.allowDomain("http://www.translucidedesign.com"); var prefix = 'http://www.translucidedesign.com/kana/';[code]..........
I'm working on my website and I have one main swf file with the loader, and other four swf. files with home, about, contact and work.This is the code for the main one
Code: var holdercontent:MovieClip = new MovieClip(); holdercontent.x = 0
Ive read you can do this with share objects but, have search and search and i cant find a concrete or simple answer to follow.
No frame solution please, this does not look good when viewing image on laptop (768 as height)
What i am looking to do is create 5 pages with the same flash header. Links will be below the movie. When people click on the links a new page opens (same window) without reloading the flash file.
I think i need a code to put in my first frame to store a cookie but cant find the code.
