ActionScript 2.0 :: Append Variables To A Query String (address Bar String)
May 4, 2010
I need to be able to pass some variables FROM flash and append it to the end of my address. I assumed that if I used LoadVars, I can append the vars to the end of the string like this:
ActionScript Code:
send_btn.onRelease = function ()
{
var my_lv:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
I need to read the variables from a URL:[url]....I tried all sorts of info from google and i coudn't make it work.I'm interested in the option when i don't need to do any modifications to the html file, but just do all the coding in flash.I found several examples that are using ExternalInterface and could not make any single one of them work.
I've been searching ferociously and can't seem to find a solution that works for me. I am trying to pass variables via query string on a PHP page to Flash, and then have the swf add movie clips to the stage depending on the information it receives. Here is what the PHP outputs:
I'm developing a web training application that must interact with a SQL database. I'm using ASPX pages with VB code-behind to transfer data in- and out-of the flash file.I've got my data coming into the flash file just fine. I used the ASPX VB code below to send data to flash on a page called Send.aspx (I realize this is not hooked up to my database, but I thought I'd test the concept first):
Code: Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
i am trying to load different xml that get generated through .net when I am trying to pass varibels i am getting undefined. Can someone give me a heads up on what i might be doing wrong. from what I have read and learned I can pull via-
Is there a standard way to send variables through a banner ad? A client wants a banner that lets the user enter his mobile number, then receives a code by sms, and then enters the code into the banner. If the code then validates, the user is sent to a page with a login form with the phone number and code filled in. It must be possible to add the phone number and code as parameters to the clickTag somehow? I found that Adform supports using ";cppar=1&" and then variable=value pairs, but is this a standard, or a special feature of Adform?
I am trying to pass the variable myMOV to my flash using the following additions in my object tag:[code]I want flash to gotoandplay the label "music" but it seems I am not passing the variable correctly.

I'm not where error exactly the error happen so I post the whole thing. As far I know bottom code that relate to send_loc.php works fine, get_loc.php is having a problem. The output from get_loc.php is
I am trying to convert a bytearray into a string. The problem is whenever I try to append a NULL character using String.fromCharCode(0) it cuts off the end of the string and than I cant run it throw base64. I tried using String.fromCharCode(32) (space) instead but no luck.
I've looked up quite a few tutorials, how-to's, etc. on how to pass a query string into my SWF, but it isn't working. The page where the SWF resides is an ASPX page, and this is the code I used:
As you can see, it pulls the "ProjID" querystring and is supposed to pass it into Flash. I have executed the page and viewed the source to make sure it is pulling the querystring appropriately, as shown below: Code: Select all<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="[URL]" width="756" height="433" id="gallery" align="middle"> <param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" /> <param name="allowFullScreen" value="false" /> <param name="movie" value="gallery.swf?ProjID=1" /> [Code] .....
I used "1" for the value, and "1" was what is in the page source, so I know it's at least getting that far. As for what is in the ActionScript, here it is: Code: Select allvar myProj = root.loaderInfo.parameters.ProjID; var myGalleryXML2 = new XML(); myGalleryXML2.ignoreWhite = true; myGalleryXML2.load("[URL]"+myProj); myGalleryXML2.onLoad = function(success) { if(success){ _root.myImages = myGalleryXML2.firstChild.childNodes; _root.myImagesTotal = myImages.length;
It is supposed to load XML from an ASPX page that builds the XML from a database depending on the project ID (ProjID). If I hardcode the variable to "1" (or whatever other ProjID), it works and the correct images are shown for the respective ID. However, I can not get it to pass the ID from the URL to the Flash file. I've even tried "_root.ProjID", and a QueryString class I found through Google, as well as passing the ProjID through Param tags as FlashVars with no luck.
I have a form that sends data to a results page. I would like the results to manipulate a SWF file through the actionscripts.
EXAMPLE: Form uses 3 radio button submissions. Upon SUBMIT it sends data to results page creating a string seen below Results page receives data (form_record.php?Q1=Q1D&Q2=Q2D&Q3=Q3A) Results page houses SWF SWF uses the string to control the action of the Flash.
Can be a simple as if "Q1=Q1D&Q2=Q2D&Q3=Q3A" is recognized it does a gotoAndPlay
Im building this AIR app on Flash CS5, and I have this TileList that loads its data (images and names) from a database. I want to do a query with the name any item of the Tilelist when its clicked, so i need to send the name of that item to a PHP file that will execute the query. I am thinking of a function that loads the item name to a variable when the item is clicked. How can I send it to the PHP file and how would I load it to the query? The query I want on the php file goes something like this: Select lat, lon from mapdata where name=theVariable;
When we reference a SWF file from our ASP.NET page we append the version number to the SWF url, like App.swf?1.1.0.0. In a recent update, Firefox has continued to use a cached swf even when the version number changed, App.swf?1.2.0.0. We haven't noticed this behavior in other browsers.
Has anyone else seen this behavior? We don't want to disable caching completely. At this point we're probably going to change the name of the swf for each version, like App.1.2.0.0.swf, which seems a bit excessive.
how I could remove anything after a prefix in this string... [URL] so need to end up with [URL] The query string may change so need a way of telling it to remove anything after .flv
I am searching for a way to retrieve all emails addresses from a given string. For example: if i have the string "AB CD [ABCD@gmail.com]" i want to receive only "ABCD@gmail.com".
I guess i should use RegExp and String match function, but i am not sure how.
wonder if someone could point me in the right direction on how to search a string for an email address, then change its color and make it clickable ex var str:String = "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, email@email.com consectetur adipiscing elit." output> "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, email@email.com consectetur adipiscing elit."
this seems like it should be simple but for some reason i can't figure out how to get the value of a variable out of a URL query string. if this is in my location bar: [URL] and i just want the value of "chosenCLIP" to use in my loaded SWF file, how do i do it in AS3?
