So I'm building a Flash/HTML hybrid website that uses a Flash navigation. Within the index.html file there is an Iframe that loads the different pages of content. I used this method so the whole page didn't have to refresh only the content being loaded.
Well I have some buttons on the inner pages that will redirect to other inner pages. The problem with this is the Flash navigation is still stuck on the old page. The Flash nav says you're on the home page while the content being displayed is the about page. Get it?
I've looked into some articles on using FlashVars but it doesn't really apply to my site because of the Iframe.
I am working on creating a Flash menu that, depending on the page calling the swf file, will show a specific frame just for that page. It works almost perfectly except for the very first time you access the swf during a given browser session. If you refresh the browser window, it will start working just fine after that as long as you stay in that same window.Incidentally, this is only for IE. It won't work at all in Firefox. It pulls the first set of frames, which is a template menu for one of the departments.The HTML code providing the variables:

I hope someone can help me with my dilemma. I have built a video player in ActionScript 3.0 which consists of a FLA file which has the video player on it and a separate AS file that contains all my ActionScript 3.0 code for the video player. I have moves (FLV & MP4 files) stored on my Flash Media Server 3.0 server. If I hard code the name of the movie in the AS file and publish the FLA file, it creates an SWF file that will actually play the movie on the FMS3 server. That lets me know the video player works.
[Code]...
I just saw a flv player that was done in AS2.I wanted to know whether it's possible or not and how I could pass the needed flashvars, params and attributes to the flv player (swf file) once I load this flv player in a movie clip with the method loadclip.
View 0 RepliesI have a rather simple flash application users can make a quick username when connected, and the username is created inside the flash swf.
Now, I have a cron job deleting inactive usernames every ten minutes (on my mysql database where these usernames are all stored and accessed by the other people online) which is fine. But it can still get cluttered up if a bunch of people sign off at once, there is still that 10 minute window before the cron job clears them.
The users have an option to click log out in the flash application which is fine and works great. But of course many choose not to click log off they just click the browser x.
I've looked into onbeforeunload and jquery's .unload but I still need a way to get the username variable that's IN flash INTO the HTML, then use a php script to run the delete username mysql query.
If not, any insight on how I might pass the username variable to the html to hold onto it after the user makes their username so it can be involved with the .unload function running the php script?
EDIT::::: Maybe is there a way to create a UNIQUE string of numbers with php then pass that var to flash to include with the mysql row then since i already have that var since it was created on the html side, just along with the unload, have it delete the row that has that unique id?
If anyone things this idea would be the best approach, and if i used something like md5(uniqid(microtime()) . $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] . $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']) to make a random iD how could i go about storing the result in a var i could place in the flash vars param then again in the jquery unload or javascript onbeforeunload if that would be better .
I've been trying - with absolutely no success - to pass a variable from an SWF on an index page to an SWF on the next page (in this case home.asp). I am using the following method:
In the index page when a menu button is clicked I pass the value in the string
[AS]getURL("home.asp?jumpTo=aboutus", "_top", "GET");[/AS]
Then on home.asp I drop the value into the SWF link (both the object and embed tags):
myswf.swf?jumpTo=<%=request.querystring("jumpTo")% >
In the SWF I then attempt to use the value of "jumpTo" like this:
(this is on the first frame of the SWF)
[AS]if(jumpTo==aboutus) {
_root.button4.gotoAndStop(10);
_root.header.attachMovie("aboutID", "attachedAbout", 1);
getURL ("aboutus.html", "site");
}
There are 11 possible values for "jumpTo" and I have a similar "if" statement written for each one. i know the value is being passed from the original SWF to home.asp because when I request the querystring it gives me the correct value. it's obvious that the SWF embedded in home.asp is not receiving the value. Do I need to declare the variable first? Should I use a global variable? is it possible to set up a dynamic variable in the flash movie?
I'm trying to read flashvars into my flash file by modifying the standard HTML published out of Flash CS5. The following isn't working:[code]
View 2 RepliesI use an swf file to play short flv files on a web page. I write the embed/object tags into a dynamic web page using php and understand how to pass the relevent parameters to the swf file. As a complete flash scripting dummy, I don't know how to get the variable into the flash script or how to use it once it is there. At the moment I create a new swf file for each movie I want to display and write the file name into the script as below. how to get the file name into the script below using FlashVars or a query string in the html.

I know this is pretty simple but all that I have read doesn't make much sense to me. I have one swf calling another swf that I have embedded into an htnl. In other words just calling another html page in a seperate window. In one.swf (runing in broswer) I use the below to call another html page passing the variable NewLessonArray. This contains an array of completed chapters.

All that is returned that I can see is object Object. But since I am passing on a address line into another swf embedded in a html page I am unable to determine that correct syntac for retrieving the information.
i have a flash file created in AS3, let's call it file1.swf it contains a variable.. we will call this testVariable file1.swf is embedded inside file1.html file1.swf reaches a point where it needs to load a new swf file that we will call file2.swf file2.swf is done in AS2. file1.swf simply calls file2.swf by calling a new HTML file that embeds file2.swf
So file1.swf calls
var targetURL:URLRequest = new URLRequest("file2.html");
navigateToURL(targetURL, "_self");
I need file2.swf to have access to testVariable.
An AIR application that load an html page which contain some forms. I want to pass values from flash to html and then submit data. Don't suggest other possible variants, i have experience using URLLoader, amfphp, blazeds e.t.c. Idea it's to pass that from flash to html form, and then submit that information to server using html page. How can be do that? Or maybe in an web application (not desktop)?

My goal is to pass a variable from JavaScript to ActionScript in my swf file. I am using Flash CS3 and AS3. Currently all I want is my test to work where I mouseover a text link and a function is called with a passed variable in my swf file.
Here is my code:
// test.html - Cropped out the excess code
<html><head>
<script type="text/javascript">
function myMovie(movieName) {

ExternalInterface.addCallback("sendToActionScript",fromJS); only once, or inside of my function onEnterFrame(event:Event) loop? I tried both, but since I can't get it to work I don't know which one is the proper one.
I used almost two weeks to search the Web how to pass some variable/parameter/Flashvar from one swf to another.I have a main swf file, let's call it "main.swf" and here in AS3 I'll call "comonent.swf" with some parameters.All this is easy if I call the component.swf from HTML, but I have to call it from another swf file.[code]My problem is that this doesn't work of course - the method in "getSwfParam" is only tuned to get the parameters if it's coming from the URL string from the HTML page. I can't use "component.swf?age=23" in my call from the main.swf, because it'll confuse AS3 to think that the wole string.IS THE flash file.I tried localconnection and sharedobject too, but I just can't get the sender and receiver part to work together.I only need to send some short codes to my component.swf to tell what it should do.Now I begin to question if it is possible it was in AS2, but now the _root is gone and everything got so d.
View 6 RepliesI am trying to pass a variable from my .aspx page into my published swf file. I am using the code below, and using swfobject to try to pass my variable. (I am very comfortable with swfobject and would prefer, if possible, to avoid using FlashVars.) The variable myVar represents the name of an image file, and will be a different image for each user on my site. I am using Flash CS4, and AS3. I only mention that because I was able to do this in CS3 using AS3, yet certain things have been deprecated in CS4 - hence my code does not work. And for what I'm doing and how I'm doing it I cannot use CS3 to create my swf file. Anyway, here is the code:

probably a hugely embarrassing beginner question, but I can't seem to find an answer anywhere. I think it's probably (hopefully?) just a syntax problem I'm loading the content of a dynamic text box from an external .txt file and I'm trying to find a way to change the content from a link in the .txt file (if that makes sense). The code I'm using to change the dynamic text box at the moment is:

We are using a flash video player. In that we are passing an xml URL as Flashvars which contains the path of the flv video to be played in that player. This works fine when we are uploading to the test server. But we have a development sever which is accessed by an ip address. Whenever any ip address xml URL is sent to the flash, it is not playing the video.When we use domain_name/video_player it is working fine and xml file is loadingBut when we use ip_address_of_domain/video_player, XML is not loading Seems to be really strange
View 1 RepliesI'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 needed to write a very small SWF that would load a second SWF, passing all FlashVars to it. In searching for how to do this, I found bits and pieces, but nothing complete. So, in case this is useful for someone else:
ActionScript Code:
public class MyPlayerLoader extends Sprite
{
/**
[Code].....
Basically, this packages up all passed in FlashVars into a URL and loads it. There is one FlashVars that isn't passed, and is identified by SWF_TO_LOAD_PROPERTY. If in the FlashVars, that identifies the SWF to load. If not present, DEFAULT_SWF_TO_LOAD is used instead.
I had been trying finding a way to passing more than one arguments using FlashVars. Below is the snippet of HTML code, using this parameter:

My swf requires the path to an xml file in order to run. Currently this is passed in from html as a FlashVar using swfobject.But - in certain situations, the swf will be loaded by another swf. How do I pass in FlashVars using a Loader?

I want to know which is more effective to use in terms of passing values to flashvars.I have a dynamically created XML on the fly that will be assigned to a flashvar.I am planning to assign a whole xmldoc to the flashvar..it basically includes all the tags as in the whole xmlobject..and then i'll use this var to be able to display it on a carousel like image gallery.. Basically the content is all dynamic.Is it more preferrable to accept the XML PATH or the whole XML DOCUMENT for the flashvars?
