ActionScript 2.0 :: Setting Flash Variables From Javascript?

Jul 7, 2004

Does anyone know the correct syntax for setting a variable on _root using Javascript? The Macromedia site says:

<!-- javascript
movie.SetVariable("/:varname", "varvalue");

However, this notation is quite old. I haven't been able to get it to work.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Setting And Retrieving Cookies From Flash Using Javascript

Feb 8, 2006

My basic need is the ability to show a flash video only once per browser session without using Server-side technologies to track the session.

I originally tried using Shared Objects and they work well, but I could not figure out how to make them expire when the browser session ended. I could set a date variable in the Shared Objects and play the video again if the current date was more than an hour (or 30 minutes or whatever) past the previous play time, but I would rather have the shared object "expire" when the browser session ended.

Cookies could provide this functionality, but I have been having trouble retrieving Javascript based cookies in Flash (using getURL and document.cookie). If you do not set an expiration on Javascript cookies, they will expire when the browser session ends.

Here's the code I have been trying to get working for Javascript cookies in Flash:

ActionScript Code:
function GetCookie(cookieName) {
js = "javascript:function gc(){";
js += "var s = '" + cookieName + "=';";

[Code]....

The SetCookie function works, but the GetCookie function is always returning an empty sting.

Javascript :: Setting Focus To An Embedded Flash Movie/HTML Embed Element?

Dec 26, 2009

Is there a way to set focus to the embed HTML element using JavaScript? Test case: embedded YouTube videos on a page.

I have no control over the embedded Flash element. So, is there a way to set focus on it by using only JavaScript?

I read somewhere that calling the element.focus() method works only in IE. I need a browser-independent way that works in Chrome/Firefox.

Flash :: Javascript - Passing Variables To PHP

May 13, 2010

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:

ActionScript 2.0 :: Flash Variables To Javascript Or Html?

Jan 21, 2007

I am makeing a flash css generator to cusomize myspace profiles, I am up to the point where the full css code is generated, and then assigned to a variable. I am trying to make a preview button that will open a new browser window with a sample myspace profile but using the css defined in the flash variable. I can't seen to figure this out, I have found that the only way might be to use fscommands and a javascript gateway, but I am not well versed in javascript. Im at a standstill, I don't want to release my flash program until I have all its features operational, I have spent the last 2 weeks pulling allnighters from concept & design, to deciding features, and everyone who has beta tested for me says it can't compare to the other editors without a preview option. and I agree.

Javascript :: Flash Variables Are Not Accessible In Chrome When It Is Turned Off

Mar 22, 2011

It appears that the flash variables are not accessible in Chrome when Javascript is turned off. Having said that, Youtube seem to work fine, when I test other sites like www.nhs.uk it does not seem to work, nor does mine.

I am using the most recent version of Chrome on Windows. Is there anything special that I need to target Chrome, how do I resolve this issue ?

I am looking for a simple and straightfoward example of how I can pass the value of a variable into flash using javascript.Specifically, I'd like to use javascript to pass the filename of an external video file that I would like to load into my flash movie.I'd also like to call a function in the SWF that plays the movie once the filename as been passed to the flash movie.External Inferface looks like the way to goI've found a few decent AS2.0 examples, but converting them to AS3.0 has proven difficult and many of the examples are much too complex for what I am trying to do.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Variables Into Javascript Variables

Jun 30, 2009

I am making a simple math quiz game that generates two numbers randomly and then the user has a keypad to enter the answer. I trace not only the real answer to each question but also what the user punches in and I even have it so that it checks to make sure the user's answer is correct.

What I need now is to find a way to export that data into an html page. I think I can do so with php, but I really need it to go into javascript. Does anyone know how I can send this data, either in a string or as integers to Javascript? I believe that the integers would be best.

ActionScript 2.0 :: [F8] Setting Variables From External Txt?

Feb 20, 2009

I am trying to control some of the global variables in my script through an external text file.I have a variable called "_global.scrollOrNot", which determines whether I want flash to use the text window with a scroll-bar or the one without a scroll-bar. I am trying to control that through an external text-file called "ScrollCommand.txt". Here is my code:

the external txt states:

&sb1WindowScroll=yes
frame1:
_global.scrollOrNot;

[code]....

this is were I have a problem. It will always choose "MCtextFeldSB1noscroll". I have tested the whole thing with other variables, which were not changed by any LoadVars function and it works just fine then. As soon as I change the variable using the LoadVars function it will not work any more.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Setting Variables In A FOR Loop?

Apr 23, 2009

I used to dynamically set some variables using a FOR loop kinda like so PHP Code:

//Sorry, from memory
var possibleValues:Array = ["red","green","blue","yellow"];
for (i=0;i<possibleValues._length;i++){
_root["colorNumber"+i] = possibleValues[i];
}

Second question, using that code in a function would set the variables at the root level making them available throughout the timeline. Without "_root" how do I get that variable available to everything?

ActionScript 2.0 :: Setting And Then Checking Against Variables?

Jun 14, 2005

how I could somehow create an "if then" statement with variables for my website.

Basically I just want to have a button that checks for a certain variable when you click it (I want it to check if a movie, lets call it "movie1" is already loaded). If it comes back false, then movie1 and movie2 both get loaded.

This way, after movie1 is loaded for the first time, it wont be loaded again. Basically, movie1 is just my background for all my other movies. So clicking button1 for the first time would load movie1 and movie2. Clicking button2 AFTER button1 was clicked would only load movie3.
