ActionScript 2.0 :: [fmx] Keep Variables Past The Onload Call?
Jan 20, 2004
I've created a multi-framed flash file that's calling multiple variables from an external php (text) file. I'm using an onload command to do this and for some reason the variables seem to "disappear" once I leave the first frame (where the onload and load commands are)I'm figuring that my problem has to do with 'variables scope'. I've read the article on this site but I don't know actionscript well enough to proceed.I ultimately want to do away with using multiple frames by using multidemsional arrays and for...next loops, but this is what I have to work with (for now). I'm going crazy trying to get THIS to work.

I have 2 loadVars - myVars, myPictures
basically i have defined their onLoad functions
so in myVars, i call for
Code:
myPictures.load("http://www.fakedevil.com/lurgee/pictures2.php?id="+this._parent.link2.text+"&time=" add getTimer(), "");
pictures2.php is working cos I just check so by rite the variables loaded should change.. but somehow each time I check those variables in myPictures.onLoad, the variables are always the same.

I've been searching this problem for a while and have tried a number of solutions found on google but nothing has worked so far. I'm sure this is a common problem, but due to my lack of flash knowledge I can't logically work through it as I'm used to windows form development, it makes sense to me that the function could access the variables I have defined but they dissapear after the .onLoad event. Does anyone know the common solution to this problem? I want to be able to pass the xml details into the local variables so I can pass on the details into a dynamic text field when movies are hovered over etc.

i have a list cranked out from an XML file (movieclips attached to empty clip). currently it loads as the SWF launches. i can't get it to scroll because the variables won't travel outside the xml.onLoad process. what i'm wondering is once i bury this process into a button activated function, will i be able to access the list's properties? (sweet Buddha i hope that made sense...)
it seems the fundamental principle i'm struggling with is var/scope issues: how and where variables/properies can travel. i can't seem to find an explanation that makes sense from a C++ perspective. everytime i think i get it, something like this kicks me in the nuts. for those who want to dig, i'm using Kirupa's custom scrollbar modified (seemingly unsuccessfully) to my own setup. if you can recommend a different one more suited to this sort of thing, i'm open to it. if this doesn't make sense, i can attach the FLA but its a bit of a read and i'm in need of an answer before Thursday. methinks once this project is done, i'm going to hire someone for a week to fill in the gaps in my knowledge!

I am writting an image gallery that loads one intial xml file named galleries.xml.From this point each xml node loads a XMl file for that gallery that holds all the images.The problem arises in the fact that to do this I need a onload function within an onload function.Onload functions dont accept parameters so I can pass down the variable that shows what loop the gallery loop is on as I need that in the function that holds the images.

I'm working on my first flash ASP project and have a question about passing variables from flash to an asp page. Can I write a call to an asp page with variables in the url?
Code:
saveEntry_lv.sendAndLoad("save_student.asp?student_id="+userID+"&login_name="+loginName+"&password=&user_name="+friendlyName, saveEntry_lv, "POST");
It's not working and I don't know if it's because I've got something big wrong here or if the syntax is bad.

This game I'm working on, requires Flash to call variables from PHP. The thing is, each PHP file is generated so that it has a unique ID. How do I tell flash to call these variables, each time a new PHP file is created (which carries the same information)?

does anyone know if it's possible to use variables to call objects from your library onto stage like this:I have an object in my library called Level01 as is it's linkage
Actionscript Code:
var MyMap:String = "Level01";addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,LoadMap);function LoadMap(event:Event) { var myLVL:MovieClip = new MyMap();// how do you use the variable

I was wondering if ActionScript had some way to call functions and classes from variables, like they do in PHP:
function funcname() {
print "Potatoes come from tree";
}
$function = "funcname";
print $function; // Prints out "funcname"
$$function(); // Prints out "Potatoes come from tree"
In case you don't know the syntax for PHP, you should know that anything perpended with a $-symbol is a variable.

I have a flash mp3 player that lives in the root on my server, I have members on my site that each have their own folders which have an xml file in them for their uploaded mp3 files, my question is, how do I get as3 to call from the player to the xml file for whichever member page is being viewed, for example, if you were viewing members/profile.php?id=1, the player which is on the profile.php page calls to the playlist.xml file in the id folder '1' I know I can use the xml load function but how would I get the members/$id in there

I have used wsdl2js to generate the javascript needed to communicate with the service.However I end up getting a http 500 error and have not been able to get past that. I have looked through the provided examples from the Apache CXF download and I have done some searching and cannot find a solid example of creating the javascript client. A lot of examples seem to somehow access the wsdl file at runtime from a server but my javascript is already generated from the CXF tool and I just include the scripts.
Adobe Flex and AS3Another option I have considered is using Adobe Flex. I create a new Mobile Flex project in Flash Builder using the BlackBerry PlayBook SDK and Flex 4.5. However when I use the menu options to connect to a web service I get prompted with "This option is only available for flex projects."Are there any other options out there that provide a solution to this problem?
