ActionScript 2.0 :: Passing Variables Between Director And Flash
Nov 6, 2003
I'm trying to use some functions in Director by wrapping a Flash movie in a Director movie, both running locally as a projector. I need to pass a string variable from the Flash movie into the Director instance. Here's what Macromedia has to say on the subject:
Using GetURL: (any string)
Requires the Director movie to have a behavior called 'on GetURL me, stringVariable'. When using a movie script instead of a behavior the 'me' is not needed in the above handler. The 'stringVariable' value will be the holder for the passed value from Flash
(i.e. stringVariable = <any string>).
This method is executed every time a 'GetURL' event is issued in the Flash movie. What the syntax would need to look like in the Flash movie?

Creating a flash project where users can visit the site, and turn off/on objects in a house (ie. lights, tv, computer, etc.) The next user who will visit the house in the website, will see what lights or house appliances were left on. Flash variables are passed to PHP, and those variables are saved in an XML file. (For testing to see what is being saved to the XML file, on each click --vars.xml opens.) In the vars.xml file, I see that the house objects that were last turned on--are saved in the XML file- But in the SWF file, only one of the objects that are listed in the XML are turned ON. Only the last object that was clicked on would show ON--not all the objects in the XML file.)
package {
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.text.*;
import flash.net.*;
public class House extends MovieClip {

So, I read the tutorial about passing variables by changing the url of the .swf with the following code:
Code:
if (movie==1 or movie=="") {
trace("default");
}
[Code]....
My question is, is there anything special if I want it to respond to the url of a .php page? So, if I have a page that ends in "?page_id=2" could I do the same thing or does it have to be an .swf?
Code:
if (page_id==1 or page_id=="") {
trace("default");
}
[Code]....

I have a problem using a very simple URLVariables script with php.The thing is this sample do works on some servers and doesn't on other:Instead of having the correct values with trace, I get the php code itself.That means I get the following string in trace():[code]I know it comes from the php configuration on my server because I tested it on another server and it works, but I can't find what I must change in my php.ini file to get the good results in trace();

how do I know if my flash form has sent its variables to asp? My code is:
onClipEvent (load) {
submit_btn.onRelease = function() {
emailform = new LoadVars();
emailform.var1 = var1.text;
emailform.var2 = var2.text;
emailform.sendAndLoad("form.asp",emailform,"GET");
}; }
I need to send the information as a query string to asp. Am I doing this correctly?

I have a simple standalone application written in Visual Basic that I'm porting to a browser based application using PHP/javascript. The original VB application has some simple embedded flash games with token and point counters. The token and point values are being passed as variables between the application and the game.
I'm trying to achieve the same effect in my PHP port without modifying the actionscript code( using the variables in actionscript that already exist). Below is Visual Basic code that's loading a value from a database and posting that value to flash using FlashVars:

I have an image uploader that runs on a separate PHP script, and then updates the Preview Url after the file has been uploaded. But what I'd like to do is have a Flash SWF embedded in the same HTML that's running the PHP Uploader to get that Preview URL and display it in the Flash Application.

I have a php file that loads 2 variables to a new php page that has flash embedded. This works fine, I can see the variables in a dynamic text box I created, the problem is that I need to take the 2 variables and put them together, then load it in a gotoAndPlay.It then should play at that time-line but it just plays from the beginning frame.[code]

We have a web page which loads a Flash flipbook. This flipbook grabs the content of an external XML file which lists the images to be used for each page. I need to be able to send a word or number into the flash file which is then picked up and used as the name of the XML file. This will allow us to use the same flipbook to display different content depending on different the variable we pass in, without having to have multiple versions of the flash.So, having tried all the different places to add the querystring which I understand you use to pass the variable, I currently have this in the web page (note, "zone" is my variable and I'm trying to set it as 1 here).[code]
In case it helps to see the actual files I've tried to strip them down as much as possible, and put them at URL...Ignore what's going on in the linked flash files.You can see a working one where the XML file name is hard-coded at URL... and a failing one with an attempted passing of the XML filename at URL...The actionscript I'm editing to try get this to work appears under actions: Frame 1 inside 'Premium Page Flip'. Around line 153 in the original is a line saying this.extXML.load("1.xml"). I'm just trying to bring the "1" part in through the querystring.[code]

I am currently trying to pass a single number variable (a score) back to ASP.NET. I have written something that I believe is able to pass the score back but I don't know how to get the value using ASP.NET.

How do you pass variables from flash to php?What I wanna do is, get the username and password entered in this form made in flash, when the submit button is hit, it will open and send these variables to login_processor.php. If the info is put in correctly, it will take them to a different page.The login_processor.pgp works for html form, but not for flash. In flash I have two input texts, and I gave them each their own var names.This code I assigned to my submit and reset button:
submit_btn.onRelease=function () {
getURL("login_processor", "_self", "POST");
}
reset_btn.onRelease=function () {
[code]...
this script is not working, even though you put in the right info, it will take you to login_processor.php and that's it, you're not even logged in.

I'm trying to send variables to flash from php and I can but the problem is that instead of showing the value of the variable, its name is shown instead.
This is the php code that sends to flash:
echo "&response=".$response;
echo "&username=".$username;
and this is the actionscrip which should receive it:
status1.text = data.response+" "+data.username;
(the loadvars variable i used to send and received the vars is called data).

I have a setup where I am loading 3 XML nodes from a database. It lists 2 of the 3 onscreen - an item and an item price. I am trying to have it work so that when an item is clicked that the item_id (loaded in the xml, but not displayed on screen) jumps to a frame with a dynamic text box and have it list ONLY the item clicked. So far, I made it jump to the frame with the text box and it lists the entire list, not just the item.I really want it so that you click an item then it stores the item_id in the background (then a mc plays saying "item added to cart"). I want the ability to store more than one item_id from different categories and when a user presses the 'view cart' button, that the text box loads those items.
I think I am close, but I got to thinking if it would be better to have some way of doing a php session or something similar to store the item_id and then when the 'view_cart' button is pressed, the text box lists the item_id and the item_name and item_price for each item in the session. I wasn't sure if Flash can talk to php like that. Can it?Is this the right way to approach what I am trying to do? I'd like to use one 'holder text box' if possible.

I am using as2 to pass a variable from flash to my php and nothing is being passed! Here is the action script code that I put on my button:
Actionscript Code:[code]..........Now the amount of "5" is being inputted into a dynamic text field with the variable and instance name of amount (which, in the future, will be hidden ). This is working fine when clicking on the button. What I am trying to do, without success,is to get this value of "5" to my test.php and have it echoed and it's just not happening . This is my php script:
Actionscript Code:
<?php $form_inp= $_POST['amount'];if ($form_inp==''"){print "Nothing inputted <br>";}else{print "You have inputted: $form_inp";}?>
I'm getting "Nothing inputted" everytime.I've already tried the different routes for the amount.text such as:
Actionscript Code:
on (release){ amount.text=5; form1= new LoadVars(); form1.amount= this.amount.text; form1.sendAndLoad("http://mywebpage.com/test.php",amount,"POST"); }[code].......
Extra info: I have put the .swf file and the .php file on the same level in the same folder on my server just to be sure and the amount.text dynamic text field and the button are on the same level in the .swf file.

I'm calling a php file from Flash and adding variables afterwards like so:It works fine if I copy and paste this directly into the web browser, however if I call it through flash, the address bar would end up like this: something.php?title=??Is there anything I can do from PHP or flash to encode/decode the string? that method worked perfectly.Everything is echoing out fine, however I'm now having some issues inserting the informtion into my database via MySQL, all of my fields are set to UTF-8. I'm getting some weird characters instead of the Chinese characters.

I'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.

I am just trying to pass some variables from flash to php with getURL
getURL("CompSummary.php?url3=" + url3, "_self");
URL33 keeps coming back as undefined
However I printed out url3 using dynamic text in the flash movie just to check it and it does indeed exist, and is defined. I also tried creating a string and passing that to getURL
var path = "CompSummary.php?url3=" + url3;
getURL(path, "_self");
still no luck.

I have used the kirupa tutorial for passing variables to a flash file, which in theory all makes sense, however my code only appears to partially work.. this if from frame 1 of the movie:
if (movie=="" or movie==1) {
_root.section = "image1.swf";
}if (movie==2) {
[code]....
It'll load image3.swf if i use myfile.swf?movie=3 but any other variables will result in the else running (even no value).
