ActionScript 2.0 :: Flash8 Sending Vars Between Swfs - External Interface?
Jul 5, 2010
On my html page I have two frames, one for navigation and the other for content. The navigation menu is an swf. Most of the content is html, except for the 'gallery' page.
The thumbnails for the gallery appear within the navigation. I can get the pictures to load from the thumbnails into the 'content' frame using LoadVars sendAndLoad.
However, doing this means that the flash gallery refreshes itself each time a thumbnail is clicked (thereby losing the transition effect).
So, how do I load the images in the other frame without reloading the flash??
Could I do it using external interface? ..

My client has approx 12 different presentation .swf's all with a beginning, middle and an end (phew!). I need to build an interface that views those 12 individual presentations as thumbnails on a single page and allows my client to click and drag whichever ones they wish to use into a separate little container above and in-doing so create a new required running order (left to right) each time they use my interface... so that once they have decided that running order they can somehow use the result for their required presentation. They will be using this interface ongoing throughout the year for various presentations all that will require maybe just a few of those individual swf's in different orders.

detailed as possible. Took basic Flash classes, but no AS other than searching online, taking a couple Kirupa tutorials, so it's all greek tho recognizably so. I have 10 individual "scenes" currently in one swf file, but would love to break these apart individually, and load each into a "container" swf with a "random" code (so each visit to my site starts differently) which I've located and tested with Kirupa's super "Loading random movies" tutorial. Question is: currently I have active buttons in each scene which advance playhead to the next scene. How can I code these to load another swf into the main "container" file and kill/replace the current swf?
Another tutorial "Transitions between external swfs" suggests "if your buttons are not located on the main timeline, you will have to change the path to the container movieclip" - but doesn't show exactly how to do this, and I have to say I can't figure the "path" out! Another issue I foresee is that I'll need the script to automatically pull in the next swf file when the current one finishes, if the visitor doesn't click the button first... Haven't been able to find this with a few hours searching, though some threads come close.

I am loading a different external SWF into each one using Load External SWF behavior.Although each SWF is a different file, they are exact copies of each other (have exact same functionality); all 3 are text boxes with both scrollbar scrolling and mousewheel scrolling.Problem is, when on the stage at the same time, they all three respond to mousewheel scroll at the same time. I need them each to respond to users' mousewheel scroll only if the mouse is over the respective area (so that way they don't all scroll at the same time).The file was developed for me and the developer is not available at this time.

flash reads in the 1st variable _root.pg1text1 and writes it out on the page ok

I'm trying to send variables to a php-file. It works ok with some of the vars but not for continent (see code below). I have all tried the "" around the value - still no go. The clip is loaded from a mouseover function. I have tried to make a trace of the variables, but that doesn't work either.
this.createEmptyMovieClip("myForm", 0);
myForm.newSearch = 1;
myForm.searchType = 1;[code]....

I have an AIR app that is uploading a txt file to a server, and I have a progress bar set up in AIR for the user.
The php file that handles the upload then opens the txt file, parses and sanitizes the contents, and inserts them into mysql.
I was wondering if there is any way to have php tell Flash what's going on at each stage of the operation?
At the moment, my progress bar gets up to 100% once the txt file stops uploading, but then hangs around until php has finished the backend stuff. This is fine - I like that the progress bar movieclip stays there until the mysql insert is complete, but I was wondering if it would be possible to reset the progress back and have it move as the php continues through the parsing and mysql insert, or send back a series of text vars saying 'Parsing text file' then 'updating database'?
I understand that you can only echo back to Flash once, and I've also come across that Flash bug that doesn't accept variables back when you are uploading a file as opposed to just uploading variables.

[URL]regarding this tutorial I started my site [URL] to get some trasition effects but im getting somewhat different since the external SWFs take time to load. isn't it better to create "intro and outro" on the same time line instead of loading external SWFs bcos once the movie loaded as a whole will lead to smooth and contineous transitions.

I recently created a site using the "Transitions between External SWFs" tutorial for Flash MX 2004. I use this to load the sections of my site into the main movie file. Each section is an External SWF file. When a viewer clicks on a navigation button, the specific external swf move will load and play. Currently, a viewer would need to click on another navigation option to close the current external swf file. I would like to add a close button to each of the external swfs so that a view has the option to close the window without clicking on a naviagtion link.

I've got a container swf that loads a few content swfs... now what I'm trying to do is get those content swfs talking to each other (the site is [URL], where the home slideshow, work and firm sections are each separate flash files). Specifically, I'm trying to get buttons on the home slideshow to link to their respective projects in the work section.
I've got home.swf dispatching a custom NavigationEvent when a button is clicked, with the clicked project's id attached to it. My index.swf catches the event, but this is where I'm stuck. I can't get it talking to work.swf. As far as index is concerned work.swf is an instance of Loader, and doesn't have the functions I'm trying to call. Right now the functions are on the timeline on frame 1. Do I have to move all the AS in work.swf into a document class and implement an interface that I can use to cast the Loader in index.swf?

I'm using a wordpress theme, and making a flash banner which contains thumbnails that preview different 'projects', i.e. sets of images.
These thumnails will act as buttons. I want the thumbnail to load a generic php page (i.e. the skeleton stays the same for each project) which contains an swf movie which loads content based on the thumbnail clicked.
Here's an image to help illustrate:
Can I use loadVars to send variables from swf > php > swf?

I have a main fla file which loads an external swf into an empty movieclip on the main timeline which works fine but I want a button in the external swf to load another external swf into another empty movie clip on the main timeline.eg. start.swf loads UKEIAMap.swf into (empty movie clip within start.swf) MapLoader_mc then a button havant_b within UKEIAMap.swf needs to load HavantProjectSheet.swf into (empty movie clip within start.swf) ProjectSheetLoader_mc without unloading UKEIAMap.swf

I am loading eight external swfs by way of eight buttons with actionscript to remove the swfs and sound after a new button is clicked. This works fine except that as soon as you get to the frame where the actionscript is all the swfs load at one time on top of each other. I don't want any to load until the button is clicked for the right one. MouseEvent listener works but only after all the swfs have loaded. How do I get the swfs to load only when the buttons are clicked. I can't figure out what I am doing wrong.

I am using in AS3 "External Interface ". When I call the JS function that is on the same page as swf everything works fine.
I added a link in the html page to an external JS file, when I move the JS function to the external JS file the website crushes.
I would prefer to have all my JS functions on an external file so I can use them in the future in other project and it also makes it easier for me to update the site.
how to call a JS function that is on an external file from AS3?

All of the tutorials I have found re: local connections seem to outline 1 swf sending info & the other swf receiving. Is it possible to have two swfs using exactly the same action script for their variables to effect each other? I've got two swfs with 2 different sets of buttons who react the same way on roll over. Once a button is selected it remains highlighted. I want to know if I can have a button in swf 1 highlighted but un-highlight when a button in swf 2 is selected?

Can you save/publish a .swf from a .swf? For example, I want to make a .swf where the user can move around X's and O's representing players (say basketball) in order to depict a set play. There's a button to create keyframes for the X's and O's to tween between. And then an input text box to name the play. Can the play be saved? Something like this: [URL] Except I want anyone to be able to author plays online from my .swf rather than only me from my copy of Adobe Flash CS3.

I am developing an air application where I have to drop an image and save the Image path, width, height to variables and pass those variables to external swf. I load the swf like this:
var myLoader:SWFLoader = new SWFLoader();
var url:URLRequest = new URLRequest("myExternalMovie.swf");
myLoader.load(url);
I am getting this error: the way I am passing the URL of the swf is incorrect and not supported in AIR.
