ActionScript 2.0 :: Flash8 : Passing Variables To PHP?
Mar 3, 2009Ive got a script lined up:

ActionScript 2.0 :: Flash8 : SetInterval And Passing Variables?
Mar 12, 2009So I have a laser game I'm working on and I have a setInterval set up for when the laser button is pressed that it shows the laser for a little bit before removing the incoming asteroid and hiding the laser. I have a four of these buttons each with different colored lasers. So I thought it would be easy to pass the movie clip in through the function, cause I've done that with regular functions. Problem is, I don't know how to do that with a setInterval function. The way I have it set up shows the lasers then crashes and just shows a blank screen. Here is a bit of my code:
Code:
function laserMultiFire(laser:MovieClip) {
if(astroid == true){
_root[laser + "L"]._visible = true;
[code]....
The btnMulti is one of the buttons, and there are three movie clips that represent the lasers, the ones I'm trying to show and hide here are mcLaserMulti, mcLaserMultiL, and mcLaserMultiR.
ActionScript 3.0 :: Passing Variables To Child MC?
Jul 23, 2009I've been using Flash for years but only recently started doing anything with AS3. I am using SlideShowPro and SlideShowPro Thumbgrid which are both AS3 components, hence the move. I am finding the move incredibly frustrating.Anyway, on to my problem. My parent movie is loading a child SWF. The child SWF needs to read a variable from the parent but I can't work out how as the old syntax is not working.My loading AS looks like this:
ActionScript Code:
var loadit = new Loader();
addChild(loadit);

AS3 :: Flash - Passing Variables From Parent To Child?
Oct 14, 2011I'm trying to access some variables from my parent in my child MC.
Parent code:
var data_history:String;
function finish_checkUp(event:Event):void{
var checkUp_stat:String;
[Code]....
Now as you can see, i have tried the trace method, but with no luck. Flash doesn't report any errors regarding the trace method, but does report the two undefined vars (data_history). Ive tried to use the trace method above all the functions, at the top of the script, still the same errors though.
ActionScript 3.0 :: Passing Variables To A Child After It Is On The Stage?
Sep 30, 2009I am not sure if I'm being completely stupid here, so my apologies in advance. If I have an object on the stage for example:
ball:Ball = new Ball();
addChild(ball);
it already has .x and .y values as it is placed on the stage.Then I have some value inputs, such as force, angle etc.Now when I click an event listener I want it to activate a function in Ball that will move it from the values I have just set.My question is how do I carry those values across after the ball has already been place on the stage?

ActionScript 2.0 :: Passing Variables From Parent Flash Into Child?
Jul 26, 2010how can I pass a variable from a parent flash file to a child flash file which it calls?We have a parent flash file which imports various child flash files based on instructions in an XML file. It's probably easier to see an example - opg2DOTcoDOTuk/flash/yay.html (replace the DOTs, couldn't post an url due to restrictions) - the text above each page, and the 'enlarge page' lightbox links are all in seperate flash files (one per double page) which are brought in, depending on the pages you are looking at, based on the instructions in an XML file which looks like this...
<page ani_swf="pages/text1.swf">pages/white.jpg</page>
<page ani_swf="pages/text1.swf">pages/0001.jpg</page>
<page ani_swf="pages/text2.swf">pages/0002.jpg</page>
<page ani_swf="pages/text2.swf">pages/0003.jpg</page>
etc, where the swf is the header flash file containing the text and one or two lightbox links, and the jpg files are the page images that appear.We had to repeat the imported child flash file because of a glitch when you go backwards through the book otherwise.
This system has been fine for us up until now but recently we've had to look at making it a dynamic system, so the content of the book can be varied depending on a variable being passed into the parent file via FlashVars...
<param name="FlashVars" value="zone=1" />
<embed src="newbook3.swf" FlashVars="zone=1" ....etc
This makes the book load an xml file called "1"). This is fine, except we also need to vary the 'enlarge page' target images to match.The 'enlarge page' links are currently hard coded into each child flash file, like this...
on (release){
getURL("javascript:SWFDelegate('imagename.jpg','Ex ample');");
}
- What we've tried so far:
1. Trying to pass the variables in querystrings from the XML
eg.
<page ani_swf="pages/text2.swf?var1=image1&var2=image2">pages/0002.jpg</page>
<page ani_swf="pages/text2.swf?var1=image1&var2=image2">pages/0003.jpg</page>
with the child flash setting it's action like this...
on (release){
var image1 = var1 + ".jpg"
getURL("javascript:SWFDelegate(image1,'Example');" );
}
I'm not sure if the syntax here is correct. We have to add the ".jpg" in here because, as far as I understand it, you can't pass "." in a querystring.
2. Passing the variables for the child into the parent
I read somewhere that variables passed to a parent are automatically available to a child. Not sure if this is true, but it didn't work for me when I tried it like...
<param name="FlashVars" value="zone=1?var1=image1&var2=image2" />
<embed src="newbook3.swf" FlashVars="zone=1?var1=image1&var2=image2" ....etc
Combined with...
on (release){
var image1 = var1 + ".jpg"
getURL("javascript:SWFDelegate(image1,'Example');" );
}
...in the child button action.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Flash8 : Passing Time As A Variable On Other Frame?
Jan 24, 2010Basically, I wanted to 'save' the time thats been recorded in each of the 5 'games', so at the end there is a 'scores' page, with your times for each of the games.
I have managed to get the timer working for the games itself, but cannot find / work a method which saves them to the last frame?
I thought possibly converting the 'elapsed_time' into a different var (t1,t2 etc..) for each of the games? - doesn't seem to work timer_not_saving.fla
ActionScript 2.0 :: Flash8 Passing ID From Javascript Without Page Reload
May 21, 2010I'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
Flash8 :: Variables That Can't Go Below Zero Etc
Aug 4, 2010just getting the grip around the variables and im experimenting. This is what i have as a variable
money = 1000;
health = 100;
Then i have the dynamic textbox that shows them. works great, and i also have various effect that makes the two go up and down. Here's the problem, or more, how i would like to expand the concept but is stuck on. Right now both variables can go as high and low as possible (of course). Is there something i can add in that script that makes so the money variable can't go below 0. Also is there something i can add so that the Health can't go ABOVE say 500 and when health reaches zero (or a negative) this triggers _root.gotoAndPlay("gameover"); you get what im trying to achive here
Flash8 :: Put Variables In An Array?
May 31, 2009Is it possible to put variables in an array?
For example:
Code:
var positions:Array = new Array(Stage.width / 2, Stage.height / 2);
When the above code is executed, the values "Stage.width / 2" and "Stage.height / 2" are replaced with the number values and the array becomes, for example [500, 400].And when I call the array positions[0], instead of getting the value of the Stage.width / 2 (considering the stage has been resized), I get the static value of 500.What can I do to get the value of Stage.width / 2 ?
Flash8 : Using Variables Over Timelines (AS2)?
Feb 11, 2010My variable from the root timeline is not being sent to say a timeline inside a moveclip. This is basically my code:
On root timeline:

showred = false;
Inside movieclip instance 'infobox' on timeline:

stop();
if (showred == false){
play();

the showred variable inside the 'infobox' movieclip is not detecting that I set 'showred' to false on the main timeline.
ActionScript 2.0 :: Flash8 Two Variables Name Into 1?
Feb 28, 2010what is wrong with this syntax

i want flash to read the variable as _root.range2 = 75. this is for each tower so _root.range2 -= 10 reduces tower 2's range by 10 (this is done on a different frame thus the _root. is needed)(towerID is calculated above)

I guess eval() is not right thing to do.
Flash8 :: Add Variables To A MC From The Action Layers, Using The MC Instance Name
Sep 11, 2009I've read on the net that actionscripting from the action layer will result in a more readable file once published, as apposed to attaching onClipEvent functions which slow down readability.
For this reason I am trying to add variables to a MovieClip I have on the stage with an Instance Name of Player. However I wish to assign the MovieClip variables from the actions layer using the MovieClips Instance Name.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Flash8 Import Variables From .txt As Number?
Dec 4, 2009I'm trying to import some variables set up in a .txt file. However the variables that I would like to behave like numbers are not doing so.
I have a variable in the text file called "&middleimg=1" when I pull this in and say do the following:
Code:
var numvar:Number=0;
numvar = _root.myvars.middleimg+1;
I get "11" rather then "2" as the result. I tried setting up my text file as such: "&middleimg:Number=1" but get an "undefined" result. Is there anyway to get imported variables to behave like a number instead of a string?
