I'm trying to combine PHP/SQL and Flash. I've got a problem now. I want to load a variable that contains an url to an image. so the variable is like this: [URL] Now I want flash to load the image, not the text. The variable is called 'img1' but the loadmovie function doesn't work when I put it in.

how do you load in a variable amount of jpgs into an empty movie clip? for example, i have a mc called 'holder' which loads in and replaces the previously loaded jpg every 10 seconds from the folder called 'images'. but how can i make it work if the user first puts in 5 images, but at a later date changes that number to 7 images?

My problem: I am attaching variable number of MCs dynamically(not in the library), and i have to do so using flash6 or older. How can i use then loadMovie+onClipEvent handler to invoke something, if i am attaching MCs dynamically, and onClipEvent works only on MCs attached on the Stage(actions "on" those mcs, not "inside" them). Probably using classes. Any other option? and if not, can anybody guide me through assigning such class to such mc? EDIT: Ok, i also have done following:
[Code]....
and although the movieClip IS in library, and it DOES have MovieClip class assigned, onData event handler is NOT triggered and nothing is traced. Can the reason be "attachMovie" function?
EDIT2: aha. well, again it happened that attachMovie's methods are not yet initialized, so it was not yet "the proper time to assign" handler onData on those MCs. [only sen knows why ]. So that even trace(mc.stop()); at this point traces undefined, where it should trace [type Function], since stop is MovieClip's class method. Stupidstupidstupid.. relax...
I have a public variable and I am trying to set it, then read it from a different function:
public var str:String;
public function DailyVerse()
{
function create() {
[Code]....
My trace results says null. Why does it not give me "hello"?
how you would target a function's local variable through a concatenated variable string.For example:
var txt = "Hello World";
function testing(msg) {
var test1 = msg;[code].........
I'd expect the trace to be "Hello World" but rather is given "undefined". So if variables created outside functions are created on the main timeline, where are local function variables created and how would you access them?

I have some buttons in the scene (inside the .fla) that change a variable "counter" after being clicked. In a separate class there is a function "showPage" that loads a xml-file according to the value of the variable "counter". My problem is, that I dont get the variable "counter" from the fla-file into the function of the .as-class.
Here is my code:
Inside mcMain.as
Code:
class mcMain extends MovieClip
{
//public var counter:Number = 1; //Das hier soll durch den Button getan werden :(

I have FlashVar sending variables from php to Flash, and that part works fine, flash gets the variable.BUT I have a gallery, that should load an image, and the image path is in the variable. So basically, the part of the URL field in loadMovie should be the variable's value.. That just doesn't work I'm kinda stressed out because I have a really short deadline and I was stupid enough to assume this will be doable.url..Is there any way to achieve getting the image to load into the swf using the variable?

I have several movies (movieA, movieB, movieC) that have a button in them that loads another movieb into the same level thus replacing them. My problem is that i need the movieB to start playing from a particular frame depending on which movie, a, b or c loaded it.
I'm trying to find a way of using variables to make it work or maybe just a simple gotoAndPlay function but with no luck. Can you send a variable via loadmovie function?
I have a variable that is refers to the names of folders, and I need to insert the variable into the pathname when I loadMovie. I cannot seem to get the variable to become part of the pathname

I've tried parenthesis, [], (), do not know the correct way to call the variable.
a) thumbURL is a variable loaded from an XML file. The value is being passed correctly into Flash, as I have traced it and it outputs fine. thumbLoc is a number which increases through a for loop. So thumb0, thumb1, thumb2 etc. are the movie clips I want to load thumbURL into. The thumbURL I'm trying to load is in the format [URL] I have the following code:

View 2 RepliesThe tutorial in The Best of Kirupa isn't working for me! When I try doing this:
rn = Math.round(Math.random()*1000000);
loadVariablesNum ("flashdata.txt?reload="+rn,0);
I get a debug error: Error opening URL "file:///C|/pathtofolder/flashdata.txt?reload=263757" Where the reload variable is the random number and flashdata.txt is the file that contains the variable I need.
Oddly if I use a quoted string, like
loadMovie( "http://www.miniclip.com/games/cube-buster/en/cubebuster.swf" , 1);
it works fine
But if I pass in a variable:
var fullpath:String = "http://www.miniclip.com/games/cube-buster/en/cubebuster.swf"
loadMovie( fullpath , 1);
it fails ???
Can't find anyone else's comments on such an issue.

I'm designing a game where the levels are too big to be in one swf. so each level loads up a new movie- but if my wildest dreams came true i would be able to, for example, load level 2 and have it remember how well you did on level 1.is there any way to do this? to inject a variable from the first movie to the second one after it takes over?
View 3 RepliesBasically this script works just fine and loads the appropriate movie. The transistion exit frame also works correctly. What I am trying to do is load the movie site_services.swf and jump to frame label "database" after the preloader. I was attempting to use _root.contents.FLabel = "database"; to set the variable.

f you know PHP...then you know that you can create a string variable...and then use the value of that variable to declare another variable. like this:
PHP Code:
<?php$foo = "haha";$i{$foo} = "success";print $i{haha};?>
and it would display "success"...or like this:
PHP Code:
<?php$foo = "haha";$$foo = "success";print $haha;?>
and it would also display "success".

View 2 RepliesI use attachMovie() to create a new instance of a movieclip, then I use loadMovie() to load an external PNG image into the new movieclip. That is working fine.
I want to be able to detect when the image has finished loading into the movie clip container. I need to detect this because I want to check the image width and height.
If I check the width and height right after I call loadMovie() it is returning the default placeholder size, instead of the new loaded image size. It obviously has not finished loading when I check it there.
