ActionScript 2.0 :: Passing Var To Flash Thru Query String Doesn't Work
Sep 25, 2009
I want to pass a variable to my Flash .swf file through a query string.In my Flash movie I have an animation of 2 goats fighting, I want the query string to tell the movie to skip to the end of the movie if variable goats==attacked. I used the following ActionScript:[code]The problem is that no matter whether I attach the query string goats=attacked at the end of the html address or not the movie never skips to the end.
my Problem is that i want to load a external swf in the main swf main by passing Querystring from flash cs4(AS3) and get variables from html page...... but Not working Iam attaching the fla files folder
I am trying to pass the variable myMOV to my flash using the following additions in my object tag:[code]I want flash to gotoandplay the label "music" but it seems I am not passing the variable correctly.
I am working on adding functionality to where the URL takes in a parameter as defined by an MVC style looking way.eg. (URL... )where 12345 is the corresponding Id number that I want to get.I have this functionality working.I am using Internet Explorer 7.My issue is that when a user attempts to enter a new query string id into the URL, the page doesn't refresh when the user hits enter or the refresh button. (The user can navigate to the url/#/Id/12345 only when opening a new window/tab)Does anyone know if this is a feature that doesn't work in Flex or if there is some code or configuration needed to allow this?
i am trying to load different xml that get generated through .net when I am trying to pass varibels i am getting undefined. Can someone give me a heads up on what i might be doing wrong. from what I have read and learned I can pull via-
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 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.
We have implemented a Flash photo slideshow on our site and it works just fine for most of our users. Whenever the xml.load(success) returns false I have the Flash email me a debug report. For the life of me I can not find a common thread between all of these people having problems with the Flash. I don't think it's a cross-domain issue because it works for most people, and I have the crossdomain.xml files where they should be.
I normally send vars to php and build my query there, but this time I need to pass a complete query from Flash to PHP, but I'm having a little trouble:
I've looked up quite a few tutorials, how-to's, etc. on how to pass a query string into my SWF, but it isn't working. The page where the SWF resides is an ASPX page, and this is the code I used:
As you can see, it pulls the "ProjID" querystring and is supposed to pass it into Flash. I have executed the page and viewed the source to make sure it is pulling the querystring appropriately, as shown below: Code: Select all<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="[URL]" width="756" height="433" id="gallery" align="middle"> <param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" /> <param name="allowFullScreen" value="false" /> <param name="movie" value="gallery.swf?ProjID=1" /> [Code] .....
I used "1" for the value, and "1" was what is in the page source, so I know it's at least getting that far. As for what is in the ActionScript, here it is: Code: Select allvar myProj = root.loaderInfo.parameters.ProjID; var myGalleryXML2 = new XML(); myGalleryXML2.ignoreWhite = true; myGalleryXML2.load("[URL]"+myProj); myGalleryXML2.onLoad = function(success) { if(success){ _root.myImages = myGalleryXML2.firstChild.childNodes; _root.myImagesTotal = myImages.length;
It is supposed to load XML from an ASPX page that builds the XML from a database depending on the project ID (ProjID). If I hardcode the variable to "1" (or whatever other ProjID), it works and the correct images are shown for the respective ID. However, I can not get it to pass the ID from the URL to the Flash file. I've even tried "_root.ProjID", and a QueryString class I found through Google, as well as passing the ProjID through Param tags as FlashVars with no luck.

[Code]...
I'm not where error exactly the error happen so I post the whole thing. As far I know bottom code that relate to send_loc.php works fine, get_loc.php is having a problem. The output from get_loc.php is
I need to be able to pass some variables FROM flash and append it to the end of my address. I assumed that if I used LoadVars, I can append the vars to the end of the string like this:
ActionScript Code: send_btn.onRelease = function () { var my_lv:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
I have been reading this page about passing a query string to a flash file and I have it all set up using Javascript.URL...My next question that the page doesnt seem to cover is how do you then get flash to manipulate the data from the query string?So say I pass example.swf?testtype=1, I want flash to grab the value of testtype.
I'm attempting to use mod_rewrite to clean up the URL's to a flash video player. First,here is the original URL that I'm trying to rewrite to:library/player.swf?path=path-to-file.flvhe above URL works perfectly fine when I access it directly. I have coded the swf to automatically grab the path parameter and play the video. No problems there. Now here is my attempted rewrite rule:RewriteRule ^player/(.+)$ library/player.swf?path=$1 [QSA,L]When visiting the url player/path-to-file.flv, I get the swf but no video loads. I set up a popup window in the flash to tell me the path name for debugging purposes, and it looks like the path isn't being passed at all.On the other hand if I use the exact same rule but point it to a test.php instead of player.swf, the test.php file is able to echo out the parameter
In as2 it was very easy to access query string just using _root, but this doesn't seem to work on as3.[code]How do i access value of a? I tried it with _root as well as in flash client tried this userNameTextField.text=root.loaderInfo.parameters.a;But both doesn't seem to work. What can be the problem?
then "this" is undefined.I even wrote a little PHP script to dump the contents of $_GET (changed the rewrite target temporarily), and I'm positive that the rewrite rule is working.
mod_rewrite clarification:
To demonstrate the strangeness of the problem, let me temporarily change the rewrite target to "object.php", so the rule now reads:
Then, when I navigate to /object, I get the following output:
Array ( [this] => that )
This demonstrates that the rewrite rule is working as expected.Still, when I change the rewrite target back to the SWF, "this" is not recognized as a flashvar.(I'd definitely check the rewrite log to make sure, but I don't think I have access to it on the Media Temple server I'm using.)
