ActionScript 2.0 :: Passing Variable From URL Into Flash?
Apr 5, 2011
I have a flash map I have created years ago and I've recently done an update to the file and published it. Everything works perfectly locally and online except for when I pass variables into the movie online none of the variables are recognised. Locally the file works fine and the dummy variables are passed in. But even online the dummy fall back variables don't work.There are two files the main map movie and the preloader. The preloader determines the variables that are passed into the main movie from the html embed code.HTML EMBED CODE
I'm trying to pass the file name of an image upload PHP script into Flash's UILoader component. So when a user uploads their image, the file name of the file is passed to flash so that the image displays within the Flash UILoader application. Here's the PHP variable I'm trying to pass: $filename= ''; And here's where Flash's UILoader gets it's source (ActionScript 3.0): uiLoader.source = "freshly uploaded file.jpg ($filename)?";
I have a rather simple flash application users can make a quick username when connected, and the username is created inside the flash swf.
Now, I have a cron job deleting inactive usernames every ten minutes (on my mysql database where these usernames are all stored and accessed by the other people online) which is fine. But it can still get cluttered up if a bunch of people sign off at once, there is still that 10 minute window before the cron job clears them.
The users have an option to click log out in the flash application which is fine and works great. But of course many choose not to click log off they just click the browser x.
I've looked into onbeforeunload and jquery's .unload but I still need a way to get the username variable that's IN flash INTO the HTML, then use a php script to run the delete username mysql query.
If not, any insight on how I might pass the username variable to the html to hold onto it after the user makes their username so it can be involved with the .unload function running the php script?
EDIT::::: Maybe is there a way to create a UNIQUE string of numbers with php then pass that var to flash to include with the mysql row then since i already have that var since it was created on the html side, just along with the unload, have it delete the row that has that unique id?
If anyone things this idea would be the best approach, and if i used something like md5(uniqid(microtime()) . $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] . $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']) to make a random iD how could i go about storing the result in a var i could place in the flash vars param then again in the jquery unload or javascript onbeforeunload if that would be better .
Then i must get values from "item1" and get them into a variable and sent it to flash. i probably will be using an array to store the values of "item1" but what can i use to create multiple param with the same name and have multiple values?
I don't really want to have any arrays like item1 = x,y,z because x,y and z are going to be html encoded, and the code of line would become enormusly confusing to read and edit.
I am writing the codes that can pass the value from the table of database when I click on a button. When I click on the button in the first time, I send the the number of click: clickNum = 1 to the php file and I want to select the first row from the table. When I click on the button in the second time, I send the clickNum = 2 to the php file and I want to select the second row from the table, and so on. I can successfully send the clickNum in that numerical order. However, I can't pass the corresponding row of result back to the flash. For example, when I send clickNum = 1, it pass the value of the second row of table back to flash, but not the first row. And the row that it pass back to flash is different everytime, seems it is random and I can't find a pattern. The second question is that I still can't read the chinese character from the table of database even I have included the header("Content-Type:text/html; charset=utf-8"); in the php file.[code]
I am trying to pass a variable in Flash(MX2004) but struggling with it [code]where 'main' is a movie clip which conatins a variable called 'texts' to show the text entered in the html.
I have been reading all the post on this topic, but i just do not seem to get it! I am trying to send the variable "folder" to a flash file and get the flash file to recognize it. i am using the loadVariables() command to get the variable, but i am not sure how to process it to where i can use the variable later in the actionscript. can someone post an example script to show how to process a variable sent from php to flash?
The above carries through the affiliate ID together with Site Language which user has come to. The above works fine, what I need to now do is have my flash button call the same function...
I am trying to place a SWF on a page and pass a variable to it. The variable would depend on which link that the user clicked on. I am toggling the visibility of the div containing the SWF (code at the bottom). What I need to do is, when I toggle the div 'on' I need to pass a variable to the SWF so that it knows which file to load. Would I use SWFObject for this?Here is the HTML code on the page.
I am trying to send a twitter update when I press a button in flash. I get the twitter page to open from the flash file but when it passes the variables, it is passing it as the following into the browser address bar [URL] and on the twitter page text box it shows [URL]. The browser is rendering the percent sign and the number 20 as actual text and not as the space that I need it to.
Here is my code function onTwitterButtonClick(evt:MouseEvent):void{ trace("Twitter button clicked"); var twitterShareURLPart1:String = "[URL]" var shareUrl:String = "[URL]"+youtubeVidID; var twitterShareURLPart2:String = "&text=" var escapedText1:String = encodeURIComponent("Check out this latest video from Me"); var gotoURL:URLRequest = new URLRequest (twitterShareURLPart1 + shareUrl + twitterShareURLPart2+escapedText1); navigateToURL(gotoURL,"_blank"); trace(twitterShareURLPart1 + shareUrl + twitterShareURLPart2 + escapedText1); }
I've been having some trouble lately trying to get my flash movie to load variables being set in an aspx page, I'm new to asp and flash so I have a lot working against me.Here is the aspx onload code:
Code: Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load Dim tnumber As String = ""
Well I just have to pass variables from flash to php then back from php to flash I've used the following sintax thousands times but now it has decided not to work any longer.
I don't get it Why is it so difficult to pass a variable from Captivate 5 to AS3/Flash CS5. I have a variable (gpDone = 1) in Captivate 5 (it's a guided practice) on the last frame which will indicate that the learner has completed the guided practice file. Now I want to pass that variable back to Flash/AS3 so I can evaluate whether I should show the Continue button so they can continue. They have to complete the guided practice before they can continue. If it is equal to 1, the Continue button will display. If it is not equal to 1, the Continue button will not display, but a message will display telling them they have to complete the guided practice in order to continue in the course.
I found an old thread which showed how to get javascript to send flash a variable obtained from the URL which loads it's html page [URL].. It works a treat in Firefox but for some reason in IE it doesn't show the swf file it merely shows a white box where the swf should be and a scrollbar next to it.
Does anyone know a 100% secure way to transfer a variable from Flash to PHP. I have a SSL on my site, but I've been told that using the loadvars cmd is about as unsecure as you can get, even if your page is secure.One of the suggestions was Flash Remoting, can anyone confirm that this is a safe way to send a secure variable?
how to pass a variable from FLASH to PHP?I'm trying to upload an image through the URLRequest and pass a unique name for each file.( I want to store the name elsewhere and need flash to know the name of the file.)
Since I'm using the request.data for the ByteArray of the image, I read that I can't use the URLVariables to pass any other variables.
It is almost working, except for the filename.AS3 function calling the request and query string:
Code: function uploadTheImage(GuidName:String):void { //create image var stage_snapshot:BitmapData = new BitmapData(imgprev.width, imgprev.height); stage_snapshot.draw(imgprev);
I need to create an avatar creator, the concept is simple. We have a base image for a head, on top of this we layer on other elements (eyes, nose, mouth), saving it converts the image on the flash widget into a .jpg. I'm confident in my ability to create the interface, I have basic knowledge of AS 3 and flash in general, but I'm unsure how to go about this. I want to pass a variable to flash to indicate who the user is who's editing his or her avatar. Then I want to pull some kind of db file to have the image re-construct itself in flash (maybe from an XML file - so it would need to create/update an xml file).
I know this is pretty simple but all that I have read doesn't make much sense to me. I have one swf calling another swf that I have embedded into an htnl. In other words just calling another html page in a seperate window. In one.swf (runing in broswer) I use the below to call another html page passing the variable NewLessonArray. This contains an array of completed chapters.
[Code]...
All that is returned that I can see is object Object. But since I am passing on a address line into another swf embedded in a html page I am unable to determine that correct syntac for retrieving the information.
I've been working on a feedback form in Flash that passes the variables to an ASP document that then processes the variables and sends an e-mail. After a lot of problems, I finally got the basic mechanics up and running.
However, whenever the variables go to the ASP file, it sends more than the text that was input into the input text field...it also sends all of the formatting data! Font size, family, color, leading, and so on.
Is there a way to configure the inputs or send the variables so that only the input data is sent?[code]...
An AIR application that load an html page which contain some forms. I want to pass values from flash to html and then submit data. Don't suggest other possible variants, i have experience using URLLoader, amfphp, blazeds e.t.c. Idea it's to pass that from flash to html form, and then submit that information to server using html page. How can be do that? Or maybe in an web application (not desktop)?
I'm relatively new to Flash and ActionScript and have a problem with the following code I'm putting together:
Code: // creating a new testmclip object var testmclip = new testmclip(); // creating a new testmclip object /* create a new pop up menu - sending the testmclip as var and "test" as label */ popupmenu = new Menu ([path: testmclip, label: "test"]);
I'm trying to send a movieclip object created in one class, to a different class - for the latter class to add as it's child. The code was originally Kevin Hoyts Android Component for Menu and MenuItem [URL] ... but in that the path for the menuitem was a path which loaded from url or relative path --> this I can't do with flash...I think.
