View 1 RepliesFlex :: External SWF Variable Updates Global Variable In Main Timeline?
Feb 8, 2010I have 2 movie clips, one being loaded into a container MC via "loadMovie();"In the main movie there is a variable with no value, in the external movie there are 5 frames, each with a value to update the variable in the main movie.
IE: if on frame 1, global value = 1 / if on frame 2, global value = 2 / etc etc I'm familiar with passing variables INTO an external swf, but am stumped on how to do it the reverse way.
ActionScript 2.0 :: LoadVars - Getting Variable From PHP?
Sep 27, 2004I try to get a variable from php : I have a button with :
on (release) {
$myLoadVars = new LoadVars();
$myLoadVars_received = new LoadVars();
$myLoadVars.var_to_php = myComboBox.getSelectedItem().label;
$myLoadVars.sendAndLoad ( "script.php",$myLoadVars_received);
$affich_var = $envelope_received.var_from_php; }
PHP //
script.php :
<? $result = mysql_query( "select counter from data_base where data1='".$_POST['var_to_php']."'");
$counter = mysql_fetch_row($result);
echo ("&var_from_php=$counter[0]");
?>
My result of all this : nothing happens. no variable is received from php. (The is no request ( from the firewall ) from flash to access the internet). So I think the error is around the sendandload. By the way, the php script works perfectly with loadVariablesNum.
ActionScript 2.0 :: LoadVars Variable Names?
Jun 18, 2009I am using loadVars to get strings from a text file and then I loop it to put them all in an array. But as indicated in the code, I want to check the variable name so a certain named variable will be put into a different variable, not the array. I have not been able to find how to check this...everything I try gives me undefined.

Jan 12, 2009Let's say I'd like to post some data to a server side script. If my data is
var data:String = "<data><tag1>hi</tag1></data>";
and I'd like to send it with LoadVars, I can do:
var lv:LoadVars = new LoadVars()
lv.data = data;
lv.sendAndLoad("http://thescript/", lv, "POST");
However, this results in the POST looking like this:
data=<data><tag1>hi</tag1></data>
if I want to send it without the variable name (no "data=", just the actual data), how is this possible? In AS3 I can just use the .data property of a URLRequest and it will work, however I can't find a way to do this in AS2.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Can't Access Variable From Outside Of The LoadVars Object's Scope
Feb 23, 2004You will find enclosed a ".zip" file in wich there's a ".fla" file, a ".txt" file and 6 ".jpg" images. Frame 1 of the FLA only has a "Preload" class/constructor found on another site and works well. Frame 2 launches the graphic interface construction. The file "externalVar.txt" has one variable "maxVin" with a value of 6.
I would like to know WHY i can't acces this variable from outside of the loadVars object's scope (i would better say from outside of its ".onLoad" methode scope). In fact, when i trace my variable "maxVinNum" from outside of this function, flash player return "undefined". Even if i declare "maxVinNum" on the _root (_root.maxVinNum). For information, at the start of frame 2, i have let an instruction in comment: //var maxVinNum = 6; When we activate this instruction, then the variable is directely declared and everything works well. This test allow us to verify that scripts are not bugged. Here is the script of frame 2, some of you may understand quickly what's wrong :

Data Integration :: LoadVars-using Send To Pass A Variable From Flash To Php
Mar 24, 2008For the life of me, I've tried everything: I've researched LoadVars on Adobe forum, used David Powers' books, googled 'flash to php', LoadVars, etc. and tried sendAndLoad, send, and using $_POST, $_GET, $_REQUEST. $HTTP_POSTVARS but I keep getting this same error.
I have a Unix server running Apache/PHP 4 - LoadVars worked to load name-value pairs into an array -see thread)

ActionScript 3.0 :: Passing Value To Global Variable
Aug 11, 2009I have a movieclip on the stage, and in that clip I have a button that is supposed to turn a global variable from true to false, but the compile tells me:
1119: Access of possibly undefined property root through a reference with static type Class.
When I use this code:
Code:
function closeMSN(event:MouseEvent):void{
this.visible = false
Stage.MSNOpen = false
}
I know how to reference the movieclip itself by this, but how do I change the value of a variable on the main stage, from inside the movie clip?

Aug 24, 2009I'm having an issue with a global variable. I'm trying to give it a value within a function and it isn't working.The variable is imageList. It's an XML List. I'm making it global so I can use it anywhere in my project. I suppose if someone has a better idea to avoid the global variable, I'm up for that too. But for now, it seems like the way to go.
Here's my .as file:

It's giving me the same same Error #1009 as above. It seems like a scope problem, but why? Shouldn't it work since it's a global variable?
ActionScript 1/2 :: Global Variable Not Targeting?
Jan 8, 2010I am trying to set up a global variable. On the root of my timeline, I have this;
_global.floorVar = "0";
trace(floorVar);
which seems to trace fine to say 0.
Then, inside of a movie clip on the main timeline, I have a button function:
floor1.onRelease = function() { _global.floorVar = "1"; trace(_global.floorVar) _root.gotoAndStop(2);};
if (_global.floorVar == 1) { trace("it works");
}
It traces as 1 once I press the button, but the if statement doesn't trace "it works" is my global variable set up wrong?

Feb 24, 2003I am trying to use the global variable declaration. Up to know I've been using the x coordinate of a movie clip to pass variables between different movies, and I thought it was time to learn properly! Just to get it to work, I am trying a flash file with two movies in the root. One movie defines a glabal variable on load;
_global.numb = 6;
And then I am trying to just get the other to trace it on enter frame, so the code attached to the other movie (on enterframe) is...
trace(numb);
(And I tried trace(_global.numb) as well, but I was under the impression that you only had to define it as being a property once.). All that happens when I run the movie is nothing is traced.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Hanging The Value Of A Global Variable?
Mar 17, 2006I'm having a problem changing the value of a global variable.
I'm using the xml photogallery thats available on Kirupa. I have 2 movies on the main timeline: the galley movieclip and a navigation movie clip. I want the buttons in the navigation clip to change the global varable 'section' and this to be passed to the galley xml load function. So far i have this for the button:
Code:
gallery1button.onRelease = function(){
_root.nav.select(0);
_global.section= "gallery1";
};
I am using php to deliver the xml data dynamically to flash so I only have one xml file for several galley section. the AS looks like this:
Code:
xmlData.load("photos_xml.php?section="+_global.section);
It doesnt seem to be working though.
