What I have is main movie that loads child movie via
moduleLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
path = childMOvie.swf?param=1;
moduleLoader.loadClip(path,childModule);
I need to pick up the param value from query string sent by parent movie in child movie, I tried _level0.param does not work, _root.params? same thing ?I m very new to actionscript,
I need to grab values from the querystring and inject them into a getURL(""); snippet that's in the on (release) {} for a button.So if the URL that contains the embedded swf is
[URL]
I'd like to get that otherdomain.com and inject it. Something like
var returnUrl = "";
// do magic querystring getting
getURL(returnUrl);
*Edit: I need to snag the querystring because I don't have access to the embed code. It's being rendered by a third party (Articulate) and loaded into a frame. I do have access to the code that renders the frame html, which is why I figured query string would be the best route, and one button that's used in the presentation.
Note, I live in C# land, not ActionScript land so I most likely butchered the syntax. I just need to get this button working as a one off and I'll probably never deal with it again.BTW, I've seen the abdulqabiz QueryString object that's floating around out there but it kind of seems like overkill, like there should be something baked into the framework for this. I also lack the knowledge of how to incorporate this into my little button on (release) {} event
This is driving me nuts... Based on my research I should be able to pass QueryString parameters directly to a swf object like so: [URL] In the mxml oncreationcomplete method I have tried the following:

I have a movieclip, with the instance name SizingBox, on the main timeline. Within that mc, I have a Slider component, with the instance name Sizer. I want to declare an action listener on the main timeline which will listen to changes for Sizer and do something based on the current value of the slider.In AS2 this was really easy, but I cannot seem to figure it out for AS3.
Code:
var X = SizingBox.Sizer.value;
this code gives an error.

If my holder's alpha equals 0 can its child's alpha be effectively > 0 ? In my case I have holders (custom clases) with many children, some of which are holders them selves (with their own children and holders and so on).
I would like to:
-pick out a single holder from the 'tree'
-have all of the 1st level children of that are NOT holders themselves have an alpha of 1.
I have an Movie Clip in Flash that have subobject of button type which has subobject of input text and movie clips. Right after creation core Moveclip all subobject are set to null, when I expect them to be valid objects.
[Code]...
MC_Core_design was created in Flash and exported to Actionscript. I've done this for button_1 class aswell. The code was written using Flex. When I comment out both lines that result in error I get correct view of the core Movie clip with all subobject. How can I set subobject properties right after object creation?
I expected the trace command at the end of this code to return 0, but it returns 100. Does anyone know why mc's y coordinate value is not updated after adding it a child?[code]...

View 17 RepliesI'm in a big distress, I'm using AS2 with CS3 (Flash 9.0 on OSX Snow Leopard) and I can't get the querystring. I don't understand it has always worked before with my previous version of Flash. I'm using this AS code: t_txt.text += _root.age; I have a dynamic text linked to t_txt. For the HTML I simply published using Flash, then I changed in the html file like this:
<param name="movie" value="age.swf?age=56" />
And
<embed src="age.swf?age=56" quality="high" etc >
When I set to use AS1 it just works fine. But I can't use AS1 all my projects are with AS2. So what's wrong?
The FLV I need to load is at a remote URL, but the server requires a ticket appended to the end in order to send the file over my way.so http[url]...........But if I try and send that into the source I get "No root node found; if url is for an flv it must have .flv extension and take no parameters"

I'm unclear on the proper format for passing a QueryString Value using FlashVars, this is what I'm trying <param name="FlashVars" value="part=<%= Request.QueryString["part"] %>" /> but this causes a parse/encode error and the swf doesnt load, same if I use single quotes ie <param name="FlashVars" value="part=<%= Request.QueryString['part'] %>" />
I've been working with this tutorial:[URL] Using AS1, I've been able to extract a variable from a SWF, e.g. the SWF has a querystring associated with it, in the HTML of the web page on which it is embedded:
Code:
<param name="movie" value="loaderInfoExample.swf?userName=TestUser" />
<embed src="loaderInfoExample.swf?userName=TestUser" ....
It's easy to get the variable into AS1 - it's just there, without doing anything. I've tried to do the same in AS2, but I can't get it to work, using Permadi's page. All I want to do is to get the value of the 'userName' var from the SWF Querystring, into a variable in the SWF. The example on the Permadi page didn't work - I may have been doing something very wrong of course.
I have a client that needs a flash intro that will be accessed through a link in an email campaign.

I am having a flash application where I want to send parameters to it via the javascript from a defaul.aspx page. I have a parameter called Id where it can accept alphanumeric values.

[Code]...
First, how do I parse the 3 nodes, and ? Next, is there a way to pass a different querystring argument for each of the 13 cities? Finally, how would I add these values to an FLV that's been imported and placed on stage? The FLV displays a geographical area and pans from east to west plotting cities as it goes. At each city plot, the 3 node values need to be "superimposed" onto the FLV.
