ActionScript 2.0 :: Variables Not Being Passed?
Dec 23, 2004
I am trying to use the tutorial on this site to create a simple form submission to my database via ASP. I couldn't open the sample - I am on MX. But I followed the steps on the webpage.My variables are not being passed. All of the Response.Write statements in my ASP page are coming up blank.So I have the 3 input text fields. I specified each with the same variable name as used in the tutorial (fname, lname, email, message). I also used those same names as the instance names but that didn't help so I've deleted it. So currently there are no instance names, just variable names.And then there is a submit button with the code from the tutorial:
on(press){
getURL("http://mysite.com/processForm.asp",0,"post");
}
Thats all that is in the movie.The ASP page comes up, and the database submission completes, but all the variables and database fields are blank.

Basically, I have an XML object which is pulling layout variables, and then those variables are being passed to another XML object which is sourcing some video thumbnails.And its actually working fine, but only after some tinkering. It seems that the passed variables have to be redifined in some fashion within the scope of the new function.It might be easier to explain with the code:
function makeGrid(backwidth, thumbHolderX, thumbHolderY, numCols, tSpacing) {
trace(backwidth);
trace(tSpacing);both trace just fine but (See spacing variable below)

I'm using swfObject to load my flash. I need to call a function or pass new variables into the flash file without it reloading. The user clicks on a button and the flash text needs to change. I have it working but it reloads the flash file and looks very choppy.

I have been using the flashvars from swfobject for a long time to pass info into my swf for specific outcomes. I am just starting to publish everything using flash player 10 and wasnt able to get my variable to be seen by the swf. maybe i was doing something incorrectly with this new file? but i then took code from my older files and they didnt work either... then i published down to flashplayer 9 and it worked perfectly... ???
i am using swfobject 2.2 and my code for passing the flashvar is
// Flash Code:
Code:
var r:int = root.loaderInfo.parameters.varName == null ? 0 : root.loaderInfo.parameters.varName;

I'm having a bit of a problem with external vars and timing.I'm building a custom FLV player. In the parent HTML I have some boolean variables that I'm passing to the SWf, stuff like autoStart and loopPlayback.[code]The problem is that line gets executed before the external var gets in, I think. If I place a dummy var at the top of the AS then everything works fine. And the external var is definitely getting passed in, I have setup a check for that.I would need something like loadVars.onData ...but I'm not using loadVars, I wnat the vars to come in from the SWFObject HTML, or maybe a query string.

I'm basically trying to extract a series of variables that are passed in URL from another flash movie. I have researched flash vars and the like and didnt really get far.[code]I was able to get the URL into Flash!So flash now has a variable called "section" that holds a string like this.url...My question is; how do i get the values held in each of these days, weeks, years, etc into a format that can be used with in the flash movie. Ideally into seperate variables where the values can be returned in a textbox.

I'm trying to create an application that receives variables passed through FlashVars and makes use of the new TLFTextField. I have run into an issue with accessing the FlashVars after declaring a TLFTextField variable.
The code I have is as follows:
ActionScript Code:
import fl.text.TLFTextField;
var tf:TextField = new TextField();
[code]....
The HTML file is passing a FlashVars value of "title=ThisIsTheTitle" If I run the code, the tf TextField is empty. If I comment out the last line that creates the TLFTextField, the FlashVars come through fine and the tf TextField displays the "title" variable that was passed through FlashVars.If I change the last line to read:
ActionScript Code:
var titleTLF:TextField = new TextField();
It works fine (the "title" variable from FlashVars is show in the tf TextField). I don't understand why delcaring a TLFTextField prevents the FlashVars from being accessed.

What is the correct syntax to initiate a function in a class similar to constructing an associative array? I have a function that's custom variables is ballooning out and I'd like to label them in the call for sanity sake.
currently:
myClass.myClassFunction("hello world",999,0xff0000);
desired:
myClass.myClassFunction(myText:"hello world",myNumber:999,myColor:0xff0000);
and the class itself for reference:
class com.myClass {
public var myText:String;
public var myNumber:Number;

I have a basic XML file and a parser in as3.
So far, I can get it to parse and trace data from the xml file:
{
xml = new XML(e.target.data);
var tester = xml.item;
[Code].....
My objective is to pass in a bunch of variables from my XML file that I can use anywhere in the flash project.

I have a flash file that I am trying to debug. It loads a second flash file which it passes data to, and then that data is sent to a server. Unfortunately the data isnt coming out how it should.
I would like to know if anyone knows of a way to see what data is being passed to the embeded flash file from the original flash file. I need to make sure the data going to it is correct.

I'm trying to catch when a second is passed using getTimer. I don't want to use setInterval, because I'll need to pause, and unpause it. So.. here's my code:

What is wrong with this code? It seems that the time variable reachs 1000 milliseconds too fast.I'm not getting a second interval. How would I fix that?

Like the subject says, I'm passing in a url string through swjobject, and then using that variable to make a url request upon an event. Here is the code. If I remove the loaderInfo and just declare my url in the actionscript itself, it works fine.

Passing an XMLList to a function to layout text and link that text as a button.[code]...
So it displays fine but every link that is set up in the MouseEvent.CLICK is the last one that gets processed, even though it displays the text for every link correctly.
I have traced it inside and outside the MouseEvent and its all fine, but anytime i click any button it always goes to the one link (the last one processed)

why is my variable not being passed into my function?
Code:
dealerLocate.urlButton.linkButton.onRelease=function(webAddress){
web=webAddress
trace("this is web "+web);
[Code]....
the webAddress variable is from the exact same timeline making it one level up from this function. it traces out correctly too so I know the variable is there... just not getting passed!

My code seems to produce an error (7 times - same code) "1120: Access of undefined property xmlMarker." This appears on all occasions where the variable 'xmlMarker' is called outside of the function ('showData') where it was first produced.
Code:
stop();
var placesXML:XML =
<places>[code]............
I have a feeling that I shouldn't refer to the variable as a 'MovieClip', but I am unsure what else to pu thee if that is where the fault lies.On the stage there are several buttons relating to the place names attributes (works perfectly), dependent upon which button is pressed, the scene then jumps to a frame (again this works well), however within that frame there will either be 'myMarker_mc', or myMarker_mc2' (this does not work!).

Is there a way to look at each variable passed into the paramaters of a function. For example, taken the given code.
Code:
package {import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.display.Shape;
public class Dot extends MovieClip {
color:uint;
dotSize:uint;
[Code] .....
So in this instance it would loop through color, dotSize, doughnutSize, and doughnutHoleSize and set the paramaters of the class to be the same value.
Example for each loop:
Code:
for (var key:String in object){
trace(key + ": " + object[key]); // object[key] is value
}
So, is this possible?

Is there a size limit on strings passed to a new XML variable during construction?I have noticed what I think is a hard limit on the size of strings passed as an argument to the constructor of a new XML variable in actionScript3. I noticed it while trying to pass a large string from javascript to a method in AS3.
Everything works fine as long as the string is less than about 330,000 characters, but as soon as the string I pass gets a little bigger than that (say 360,0000 or more) I always get a js error somewhere in the ExternalInterface and a ActionScript error when the data is recieved. I am running on IE.Here is what I am doing:In javascript I have:
flashPlayer.generateFromXml(text);
Where text is some large string of serialized valid xml.Then in AS3, I have
ExternalInterface.addCallback("generateFromXml", generateFromXml); (called in initialize handler)
then
public function generateFromXml(serializedXml:String):void
{
var x:XML = new XML(serializedXml);
}
Everything works fine until the string exceeds about 340,000 characters, then I get this js error at this line in adobe code:
function __flash__addCallback(instance, name) {
instance[name] = function () {
return eval(instance.CallFunction("<invoke name=""+name+"" returntype="javascript">" + __flash__argumentsToXML(arguments,0) + "</invoke>")); //<<<<<--- line with breakpoint in js debugger

So I have now tested my file with a test xml and it works just fine, but I need to get the dat from the server so it becomes dynamic. I've gotten some php to generate a xml document, but I can't get it to "be" an xml, it's just formatted like it and it's a String.
Can I somehow convert the String to a XML variable, or will I have to cut up the string and get out the info I need.
In the second case, what would be the best way to parse the data in php (what formatting)?
The xml looks like this:
Code:
<portfolio>
<project title="a name" info="Bla" thumb="files/thumbs/p1.gif">
<file title="a name" info="blabla" thumb="files/thumbs/p1_1.gif"
[Code].....
And with all those < > " = symbols I think I would have a hard time to break it apart. The result should become an Array which contains project Objects with properties and another Array to hold file Objects with their own properties.
But the general question is: String to XML, how? If not possible, how to build this xml shaped String so it can be picked apart easily?
