ActionScript 3.0 :: Flash Passing Different Vars From HTML To 1 Swf-menu?
Dec 8, 2010I have a very classic website with Flash built menu and HTML content. Now what I need is the menu buttons( which are Movie Clips actually) to maintain in their pressed position when a particular button from menu is pressed (which actually I did inside flash, but everytime new hyperlink is followed, the website is refreshed and new SWF loaded without button being pressed obviously).
I know this can be done either by Frames which I do not want or passing an argument in URL string from HTML when we call for an SWF object.
Sounds great, but I how do I pass different arguments to several menu pages, when i have only one SWF object and therefore only one hard-coded place of data or value where i can pass the argument in string ?
Do I need to divide my flash object to as many swf's as i need buttons and links ?
ActionScript 2.0 :: Passing Vars Between 2 Html Files?
Aug 16, 2003I 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.

View 3 RepliesJavascript :: Passing File Paths From Flash To JavaScript For Upload?
Sep 29, 2010Is it possible to pass file names from a running Flash application, which only purpose is to enable multiple-file-selection, to a JavaScript application which handles upload of all files to the server?I have examined various Flash upload solutions (like SWFUpload, Uploadify, etc.) and none of them meets my needs. I want an easy to implement solution (like Uploadify) which also lets me specify various parts of the HTTP request.
The reason I need this is because my upload form uses session cookies (for user authentication) and an CSRF token both passed to the server when uploading files.Is it technically possible to pass filenames (+ paths) to a JavaScript application which then handles the upload?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Way To Pass Vars In From HTML To Flash?
Jun 23, 2009I've read a variety of pages that describe how to pass a variable into a flash movie (AS3, player = v9) from the html in which it is embedded. This page describes AS3 but neglects to mention what to do with the object and embed tags in the noscript section. Furthermore, I'm not sure the javascript I see generated in my page looks like the example there (the js in my page doesn't check AC_FL_RunContenta against zero)This page is quite long and appears to deal mostly with AS1 and AS2 approaches which I have used before and neglects entirely the newish javascript approach which appears to be used to embed flash these days (i.e., the javascript function AC_FL_RunContent).I was wondering if someone could spell out the proper way to pass in a variable from HTML so that flash can see it in such a way that works even if javascript is disabled, in all browsers, etc., etc.

Javascript :: Insert Javascript Functions To An HTML Document From The Child Flash Swf File?
Jan 29, 2012I need to execute some javascript string code from flash swf file using actionscript 3.
I read that it could be done by passing the javascript code to the parent html document , using externalinterface.call function. Then I assume it will be faster if I can declare functions in the javascript code in the HTML document in the first use of externalinterface.call funtion ; if flash code calls the javascript code repeatedly. So let me ask you how to do that. For details , any javascript to be loaded is unknown in design time and I can not prepare a javascript file to be loaded.
IDE :: Passing Vars From A SWF To New SWF?
Feb 26, 2008I 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? If this is possible I would not need to load a separate swf to Level 0. the main SWF usually ist about 320x180, the following can be 2x, 3x bigger...

Apr 15, 2010I'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);
ActionScript 3.0 :: Not Working In IE 7 Passing Vars?
Apr 8, 2009I 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?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Passing Vars In MovieClip Heirarchy?
Jun 24, 2009I 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)

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?
