ActionScript 2.0 :: Get A Variable Value From The Url In Which Its Loaded?

Mar 20, 2009

Is it possible for my swf to get a variable value from the url in which its loaded?

Example: If 'mypage.swf' is loaded in 'mypage.html' and its url looks like this:[URL]...then, is it possible to get the value of 'myvariable' from inside swf?I tried using this code on the first frame of my swf:

Code:
var myurl= this._url.split("?myvariable=");
var urlvalue=myurl[1];
... but it shows undefined

ActionScript 2.0 :: Basing A Numeric Variable On A Loaded Variable?

Dec 21, 2009

Working in AS2, using CS3 Flash Pro I've simplified this to just the one little thing I'm trying to do.

countervariables.txt has this text in it:

[Code]...

The trace shows itemsPerMili as 'NAN' and totalForYear as 'undefined'. I know itemsPerMili yields 'Not A Number' because totalForYear comes up undefined, but oddly, the loaded variable does show up correctly in a dynamic text field assigned to the variable. I don't understand why it should show up in the dynamic text field correctly when it won't trace.

I want to see the number "3.80517503" in my trace for itemsPerMili.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Accessing A Variable Loaded From Another Swf?

Sep 15, 2008

I have a problem accessing a variable loaded from another swf. Actually the variable is a singeltone class, which needs to be initialized.It has structure presented in the last part of the message.The project has the following structure:

- main.swf - this loads all the other swf files and is their holder.

- assets.swf - contains some common elements and initializes the SingleTone class

- interface.swf - contains some interface elements and needs to use the SingleTone class

- all the three swf files have access to a common class structure, where the SingleTone class is defined.

Now, the problem I have is accessing the SingleTone class from the interface.swf file. If I try to send the SingleTone.singleTone. property parameter to the class I get "Type coercion failed: cannot convert from ClassName@.. to ClassName". If I try to access the SingleTone class directly from the interface.swf file i get "Cannot access a property or reference of a null object...". Both errors I get seem logical:

- if I send a parameter, I send the reference to that object, but the interface.swf file does not have access to the assets.swf domain;

- if I try to access the SingleTone class directly from the interface.swf file, I get the null error because the class is not initialized over the interface.swf domain.

Is there any work arround? I know a simple solution may be to initialize the variable over the interface.swf domain, but what if there is a variable that can only be instantiated in the assets.swf? Can I access that variable from another swf, or can I change the ApplicationDomain?

And well I've tried declaring the variable in the loaded swf and it still doesn't work.[code]...

ActionScript 2.0 :: Redefine Variable After XML Is Loaded?

i am using claudio's scrollbar to scroll an rss feed (compiled into an XML file). i have a variable h2 which is equal to the height of a box within the movie clip containing the scrolling content. the height of the box is equal to the maxscroll of the externally loading XML file. the box *does* resize properly (tested with trace), but only after the variable h2 is already defined... so variable contains the original size of the box and not the new size. how can i get the variable to update so that the entire external file can be seen with the scroller?

ActionScript 1/2 :: Set An Undefined Loaded Variable's Alpha To 0?

Jul 21, 2010

I'm trying creating a flash navigation bar that can be edited via a simple text file. I'm able to load my different variables properly but i also want to give the user the ability to remove links. I can simply leave the variable from the text file blank and and have the text in the swf disappear but i also want to be able to set the alpha of the movieclip behind the text to zero when the variable is left blank. Alternatively, even if the user could simply set the variable to the string "Blank" and both the alpha of the dynamic text and movieclip would change to zero that would be functional as well. Here is the code i have so far.

NavLoadVar = new LoadVars();
NavLoadVar.load("navigation.txt");
NavLoadVar.onLoad = function() {

ActionScript 3.0 :: Communicate A Variable From A Main Swf To An Loaded Swf?

Jun 25, 2010

I am comming from AS2, obviously. I have looked at many of the post people have to get "something" to be avaialble on a root type method, but I haven't found anything that has worked for this yetFor those who are saying "you're missing the point", and the rest of the "this is a bad idea" or "not needed" comments would you mind detailing the process of making a variable avaiable from a subMovie to a mainMovie and from mainMovie back to subMovie; or changing the property to an object inside of a SWF that has been added to a movie using addChild()?These are the constraints I have to work within. I can't restructure the 100-150 some odd pieces that are already in existance using AS3. New funtionality is needed that requires communication between the two movies.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Passing Variable From Loaded Swf To Parent With Mouse Event?

Apr 27, 2011

This has been driving me nuts. The short of it is that I have a main movie that loads smaller swfs. In the main movie, there is a textbox that holds descriptions of the smaller clips.What I am trying to do is this: When the user clicks a button in the loaded swf, a string variable "feedback" replaces the text in the description text in the parent clip.Here is the code I have. I have been searching this for a while now and have tried various things, so this may be way off base. The clips load fine and everything, I just can't figure this one piece out.I am only showing the relevant code because there is a LOT of other working code. If anyone needs more info, let me know.Main Clip

Code:
clipLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener( Event.INIT, onLoaderInit );
function onLoaderInit( e:Event ):void {
