I have a whole bunch of dynamic variables that I need to load into Flash, to help control a dynamic card game being developed. However, what is the best way to load these variables? I've used LoadVars in the past for two or three, but this is over a dozen. They are all primarily pulled from mySQL, based on Username.

I have an empty SWF that's sole purpose is to call loadMovieNum and start the project. Each loaded movie has a few variables defined within them - unique to those loaded SWFs. Instead of declaring all the variables in each SWF can I declare all of them in one place, in the first frame of the empty loader it all starts from? I'm thinking I can then declare a variable which each loaded movie can increment as needed for me.
View 2 RepliesI'm writing code that takes data from mysql that's processed by a PHP script. It's actually a bit bizarre, at least to me. Anyway, here's some basic AS3 code that's moving toward what I want to do:
var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
var urlRequest:URLRequest=new URLRequest("receive.php");
urlRequest.method=URLRequestMethod.GET;[code]....
For some reason, the statement "trace(evt.target.data);" produces a whole pile of garbled text before the actual stuff that it's supposed to show Because of problem #1, I've had to include a throwaway variable at the beginning, otherwise the first variable I try to pass into AS3 comes back as undefined. This causes errors when I run my flash movie in the IDE, but when I run it from the browser it doesn't seem to have any effect.But this is the strangest thing of all whenever I make any changes to the database (and subsequently try to load data from different variables), the new variables come back as undefined. For example, let's say that I add another entry to the database, and decide to load students 2, 3, and 4 instead of 1, 2, and 3. When I do that, any new data I've added comes back as undefined, even though when I view the PHP output in my browser, it looks just fine.
And now for the REALLY bizarre part: I'll copy that output, paste it into my PHP script as an echo statement, comment everything else out, and my flash movie runs fine. Even though the output from the PHP script is exactly the same, it gives me errors.
I have a simple flash form I put together (can be viewed at [url]... I have 4 input text boxes (name1, email, phone, and message1). Frame 1 is the form, frame 2 is the success message, and frame 3 is the message failed frame. The submit button has the following ActionScript attached to it [code]...
View 6 RepliesWhat I'm trying to do is, create a button in Flash, with a dynamic text box, where I name the first one "botao1", the second one "botao2" and so on.
I managed to get the text I wanted into the text box by using an external text file (notepad) with the following code:
Code:
menu1=Text
whereas "Texto" would be the text appearing inside that dynamic text box.
I also managed to do the same in an ASP page using the following code:
Code:
response.Write(&menu1=Texto
whereas "Texto" would also be the text appearing inside the dynamic text boss, and it worked this way.
Now, what I'm trying to do is the following:
I have a webpage with a menu in the Header. I have the menus in a database and I'd like my Flash to access that database and write the all the menu names inside the dynamic text boxes.
My code in Flash is this:
Code:
myData = new LoadVars();
myData.onLoad = function() {
botao1.html=true;

I come across a problem when i follow the book "classroom in a book series" the Flash CS4 one (Red cover book) Chapter 2 Q.1 I try to draw straight lines or curves but i found i still cannot manage how to use PEN TOOL How can i draw straight line? Also how can i draw absolute vertical or horizontal line with some special combination key like CTRL or SHIFT i tried guessing SHIFT or CTRL while using PEN TOOL but no help
How can i draw curve? i know it depends somehow on whether i hold my click for a new anchor point? Any tutorial which is clear and easy for new comer for fully understanding for PEN TOOL.(Currently i try reading pdf reference from ADOBE Web site and google search but did not make myself understand.)
Q.2 I cannot use bucket filling a shape draw by PEN TOOL(i already search google sites but cannot find one with satisfied causes for this FILLING Problems) like the image shown below(Please click to enlarge this PRINTSCREEN) Tools i used are PEN TOOL drawing a shape first then a BUCKET for filling color.
for my class i have to draw this fish. in one of the steps it says to draw fins with the pencil. then it says to use the paint bucket tool to color it in. however i cannot color it in. i used all the options too, close small, medium, & large gaps and i still can't color it in. does it have to connect to the start point? i simply attached it to the fish's body. i started over on the 1st part of this 3 time already, and my patience is wearing thin.

View 2 RepliesI'm trying to use the following piece of code to load variables from an external URL into my flash. It works on one server (development server) but not on my production server. I was just wondering if there's anything to do with server setup that would cause it to fail?
Code:
this.params_lv = new LoadVars();
var owner:form1 = this;
this.params_lv.onLoad = function (success:Boolean) {

This exact code works on one server and doesn't on another. On the one that it doesn't work on it always hits the alert('Error: Cannot connect to server'); ..
I have a file called content.php with the following code:
PHP Code:
<?php $phpcontent1 = "I want this text to display in a flash text field"; print("&swfcontent1=$phpcontent1");?>
Then I have a flash file with a text field that has both an instance name of "swfcontent1" & the variable name of "swfcontent1". The first keyframe in my time has the following actionscript in it:
Code:
contentVars = new LoadVars();
contentVars.load("http://localhost/content.php");[code]....
When I test my movie, my text box shows "_level0.swfcontent1" instead of the actual variable contents.
When testing the code inside flash or the SWFplayer it works but online inside the html page it dosent complete.
Code:
on (release) {
s_mess.s_film.loadVariables("http://website.com/web/web","POST");
}
All the varibles load just fine but when the SWF is inside the html page it dosnt work.
I am trying to load variables from a text file, and have them available from then onwards in the movie, globally so to speak.
While I can read the variable values in a loader function which executes when the text file is loaded, I don't seem to be able to keep those variables available afterwards.
Load variables from flash into php and vice versa? possible? how?
View 3 RepliesI am trying to load the value of a php variable into a dynamic text field in flash mx. I am using the loadvars method, with "nameofPHPfile,"0","GET" etc. It doesn't seem to work, but then I am not sure if the php code is correct. A process of elimination is needed. Am I using the right method in flash???

I'm making a game and I need to load variables into my flash movie from a database.My problem is that when I try to load the data into flash, it won't let me use the variables. If I put a dynamic textfield on the stage with fname (one of my variables), the text field diplays the correct data, but when I say trace(fname) with having the text field, "undefined" pops up.

View 3 RepliesI would like to implement Photoshop's Paint Bucket like functionality in ActionScript. Suppose, I have loaded a JPEG/ PNG image into flash using URLLoader class. Now I'd click on a colored region to replace that color with another one. Now I've done something using the threshold method in the BitmapData class. But the problem is this method replaces that color found in all the regions in the image. What I want is replace the color in only the adjacent region to where I click with the mouse.

I'm putting together a little application that has a simpe paint bucket functionality. I'm having a small problem, i'm sure it's an easy fix, but frankly I'm not much of a programmer.
Essentially what I have is a set of color swatches that users can select, and then a grid of movie clips with a series of frames, each corresponding to a swatch color. Over that, I have a grid of clear buttons that check to see which swatch is selected and then tell the movieclip underneath to go to the frame that corresponds to the right color. What I want to do is just set up the function once and call it for each movie clip, rather than repeating the function for each cell in my 6x7 grid.

View 0 RepliesI'm a student currently trying to learn Flash CS3. However I've encountered a problem with the paint bucket. In my assignment I've created a simple rocket, each part with it's corresponding layer. Now I need to go back in and fill the body in a light gray color. I did so successfully with the nose cone. The problem now is that the bucket won't fill any other area no matter what I do, or which layer is selected.
View 10 RepliesIf I click my paint bucket color chooser, it will give me an eyedropper but it doesn't show the correct colors of what my mouse is hovering over. It's just a completely random jumble of colors whenever I move my mouse.

View 1 RepliesI am beginner in flash and I started to learn flash c4 (with video lessons in my language but from flash 8! but it is not problem now about drawing than only about code in actionscript). I have now problem in using of Paint Bucket Tool in flash cs4. I made a ship, I made a whole document/white page for drawing in rectangle tool (frame for picture), and I made to lines which will be like a hill. it is for background, behind the ship. but when I want to color this background, to be green for example, my Pain Bucket Tool don't want to color ONLY place behind the ship and under mentioned "hill lines", than Paint Tool color whole document. therefore I can't make a hill because I get everything colored in green.
I tried all option about closing of gaps. how can I color only wanted places in picture and not whole picture? "hill" is not strait line so I don't know how to select hill space. of course, after it I will have to repeat process to color space above "hill lines", it will be blue like sky. and just to say that "2 hill lines" are from left to right side of document, there is no hole, it is closed line.
