Is working fine, passing all the variables into the URL. The question is... why? I can't see any mechanism whereby getURL is given all the variables defined above. Does it pass in all local vars by default?

basically i have an array full of url's with query strings (page.html?var1=hi)
I'm doing a getURL(array[0]); and the result i get is just the page.html without the query string. it basically seems to be ignoring everything starting from the ?. I tried to url encode the ?
I recently had a flash project that required me to get query string variables and found it cumbersome, however i found a query string class here on the forums originally created by MichaelxxOA over at actionscript.org.

I'm working on a movie that needs to get the query string data, but I can't just pass it in, as I don't have access to the embedding page, and can't get the author to edit the embedding options. I need to do it all within the movie.
I've seen examples of as 2 using ExternalInterface.call("window.location.href.toStr ing"); but I can't get it to work. Is there another way in as3?
I have a querystring passing a var to my .swf. This var is getting into the movie fine and I can output it in a text box, but I'm having problems "rebuilding it" into my new getUrl. Here's what I have:
Code:
on (release) {
getURL("index.cfm?searchtype=" & _root.searchtype & "");
}
What I'm looking to see interpreted by the browser is:
Code:
on (release) {
getURL("index.cfm?searchtype=OH");
}
(where the value of _root.searchtype is "OH"). [URL]

I think this should not be a big deal, but I do not get it to work. I got a "MainFlash" witch loades an XML with about 60 variables (Settings), in base of a paramater then this "MainFlash" loades another "FlashMovie" and this one needs, all, the same Variables too.
How do I properly pass all the Vars in the new/other "FlashMovie"?
U need to know I use LoadMovieNum to Level 0 I do replace the "MainFlash", cause the new loaded "FlashMovie" can have a completly different height and width ( ...I don't think it's possible to change the Document-Setting in a compiled swf, or is it?

How you pass a query string using the AC_FL_RunContent? in the old days you would do something like move.swf?isOn=something;How is that done today using the AC_FL_RunContent.

i have to separate swf's, and i need to pass a var from one to the other
initially i thought i could write the var to a text file (do this from the first swf) and then load the var in the second swf
is there an easier way? (i.e. i'm using getURL in the first swf to launch the second swf. could i pass it in that?)

View 9 RepliesI hope someone can help me with my dilemma. I have built a video player in ActionScript 3.0 which consists of a FLA file which has the video player on it and a separate AS file that contains all my ActionScript 3.0 code for the video player. I have moves (FLV & MP4 files) stored on my Flash Media Server 3.0 server. If I hard code the name of the movie in the AS file and publish the FLA file, it creates an SWF file that will actually play the movie on the FMS3 server. That lets me know the video player works.

I've been trying to pass function variables from one frame to another for awhile now and looked at a few tutorials on how to do but I've had no success. I'm thinking my flash CS4 is bugged..... this will not work even though its supposed to...
(frame 1 on time line)
stop();
var transferText:String;
[Code].....
Even if I use trace in the same frame I cannot call the variable "transferText" while outside the function. It is always null in both frames. Like I said I pulled this from a few tutorials and others have said it works perfect but it won't for me. I've also tried using AS classes but the result is the same. I cannot call variables created or changed by functions.
BTW, I have no problem passing standard vars from frame to frame this works every time:
(frame 1 on time line)
var passThis:String = "I'm passing this.";
frame 2 on time line)
trace(passThis);
I am having a strange problem with my Actionscript not working in PC IE7. Everything works fine in Mac Firefox and safari. I am passing a variable from the html using swfObject, loading it in flash, populating a movie clips text field. However, the field shows "error" in IE7.
Also with the actionscript I am positioning the movieclip to stage right. When I remove that code everthing appears to work fine. However, positioning to the right is a must for my design. Why does IE7 act differently. I have spent way to long googling a solution to no avail. Can anyone shed light on this for me?

View 1 RepliesI have a bunch of nested movieclips. I set a var "foo" on the topmost clip. A child clip wants to know the value of foo: easy enough, i just call parent.foo.But what if I don't know how far down the tree the child resides in? Worse, what if foo changes every so often on new branches?My first thought was to simply add thisvar foo = parent.footo every clip, but this of course requires every clip have that line, or it breaks, and it doens'tus if a new child is inserted, or if a parent "foo" value changes.I was thinking that I could call a recursive function, where a child asks it parent, then its parent's parent, etc, for the value of foo along its particular branch...
function whatIsFoo(obj) {
if(obj.parent.foo==undefined) {
return whatIsFoo(obj.parent)

- in the parent.fla i created a dynamic txt box and var String named 'txt', this initialises the dynamic text box content to say "parent value".
- in the child.fla i tried to assign and send a new string value i.e. "child value" to 'var txt' which in found within parent.fla. At this point if everything was to work fine the dynamic txt box in parent.fla should output "child value".

View 3 RepliesI have 2 HTML files with embedded flash movies. One HTML file is the main area (main.html) with a flash movie called gallery.swf which has a grid of thumbnail pictures, and the second HTML file (popup.html) is a pop up chromeless window for enlarged images depending on the thumb's the user clicks. Essentially I need to pass variables to popup.html and ulimately its embedded movie enlarged.swf. These variables will basically be id's of the clicked thumbnails which I will use to locate the correct enlarged images on the server to load into into a container clip within enlarge.swf.
