View 6 RepliesWhat I'm trying to do is, create a button in Flash, with a dynamic text box, where I name the first one "botao1", the second one "botao2" and so on.
I managed to get the text I wanted into the text box by using an external text file (notepad) with the following code:
Code:
menu1=Text
whereas "Texto" would be the text appearing inside that dynamic text box.
I also managed to do the same in an ASP page using the following code:
Code:
response.Write(&menu1=Texto
whereas "Texto" would also be the text appearing inside the dynamic text boss, and it worked this way.
Now, what I'm trying to do is the following:
I have a webpage with a menu in the Header. I have the menus in a database and I'd like my Flash to access that database and write the all the menu names inside the dynamic text boxes.
My code in Flash is this:
Code:
myData = new LoadVars();
myData.onLoad = function() {
botao1.html=true;

View 2 RepliesI have a whole bunch of dynamic variables that I need to load into Flash, to help control a dynamic card game being developed. However, what is the best way to load these variables? I've used LoadVars in the past for two or three, but this is over a dozen. They are all primarily pulled from mySQL, based on Username.
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to use the following piece of code to load variables from an external URL into my flash. It works on one server (development server) but not on my production server. I was just wondering if there's anything to do with server setup that would cause it to fail?
Code:
this.params_lv = new LoadVars();
var owner:form1 = this;
this.params_lv.onLoad = function (success:Boolean) {

This exact code works on one server and doesn't on another. On the one that it doesn't work on it always hits the alert('Error: Cannot connect to server'); ..
I have a file called content.php with the following code:
PHP Code:
<?php $phpcontent1 = "I want this text to display in a flash text field"; print("&swfcontent1=$phpcontent1");?>
Then I have a flash file with a text field that has both an instance name of "swfcontent1" & the variable name of "swfcontent1". The first keyframe in my time has the following actionscript in it:
Code:
contentVars = new LoadVars();
contentVars.load("http://localhost/content.php");[code]....
When I test my movie, my text box shows "_level0.swfcontent1" instead of the actual variable contents.
When testing the code inside flash or the SWFplayer it works but online inside the html page it dosent complete.
Code:
on (release) {
s_mess.s_film.loadVariables("http://website.com/web/web","POST");
}
All the varibles load just fine but when the SWF is inside the html page it dosnt work.
I have an empty SWF that's sole purpose is to call loadMovieNum and start the project. Each loaded movie has a few variables defined within them - unique to those loaded SWFs. Instead of declaring all the variables in each SWF can I declare all of them in one place, in the first frame of the empty loader it all starts from? I'm thinking I can then declare a variable which each loaded movie can increment as needed for me.
View 2 RepliesI'm writing code that takes data from mysql that's processed by a PHP script. It's actually a bit bizarre, at least to me. Anyway, here's some basic AS3 code that's moving toward what I want to do:
var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
var urlRequest:URLRequest=new URLRequest("receive.php");
urlRequest.method=URLRequestMethod.GET;[code]....
For some reason, the statement "trace(evt.target.data);" produces a whole pile of garbled text before the actual stuff that it's supposed to show Because of problem #1, I've had to include a throwaway variable at the beginning, otherwise the first variable I try to pass into AS3 comes back as undefined. This causes errors when I run my flash movie in the IDE, but when I run it from the browser it doesn't seem to have any effect.But this is the strangest thing of all whenever I make any changes to the database (and subsequently try to load data from different variables), the new variables come back as undefined. For example, let's say that I add another entry to the database, and decide to load students 2, 3, and 4 instead of 1, 2, and 3. When I do that, any new data I've added comes back as undefined, even though when I view the PHP output in my browser, it looks just fine.
And now for the REALLY bizarre part: I'll copy that output, paste it into my PHP script as an echo statement, comment everything else out, and my flash movie runs fine. Even though the output from the PHP script is exactly the same, it gives me errors.
Load variables from flash into php and vice versa? possible? how?
View 3 RepliesI am trying to load the value of a php variable into a dynamic text field in flash mx. I am using the loadvars method, with "nameofPHPfile,"0","GET" etc. It doesn't seem to work, but then I am not sure if the php code is correct. A process of elimination is needed. Am I using the right method in flash???

I'm making a game and I need to load variables into my flash movie from a database.My problem is that when I try to load the data into flash, it won't let me use the variables. If I put a dynamic textfield on the stage with fname (one of my variables), the text field diplays the correct data, but when I say trace(fname) with having the text field, "undefined" pops up.

I am trying to load variables from a text file, and have them available from then onwards in the movie, globally so to speak.
While I can read the variable values in a loader function which executes when the text file is loaded, I don't seem to be able to keep those variables available afterwards.

I am working with a project that has many scenes. Each scene has a movie clip attached to it. The first scene is simple...just a couple of buttons and that is it. My worry is that when I add all of the videos that correspond with each button and publish the SWF will be a huge file. THE QUESTION: Does flash load ALL scenes of a movie or does it load the first scene and then load the other scenes when the user needs to view them?
My ultimate goal is to just have the first scene load and then when the user clicks on the buttons contained within that scene that only upon release does the corresponding scene load. Maybe I am doing this completely wrong and should look at doing it another way.
An IE issue has me completely stumped. I have a coldfusion page that uses JQuery's AJAX .load function to load in a new flash file that is generated by coldFusion's cfchart tag. This works completely fine in firefox: the new flash file and new html elements load. However in IE: all of the html elements that are geneated with the flash object are loaded, except the flash object and embed tags do not show up at all after running an ajax call in IE. After looking in Fiddler, the flash application type response data doesnt even show up for IE. It does however for Firefox.I thought maybe it has to do with any kind of media, so i changed the chart type to output as a jpg file instead of flash. And it loads completely fine in IE. So something is preventing IE from receiving the flash response data.Here's what i've done so far - and no luck so far:
Added to the HTML header: <META
HTTP-EQUIV="CACHE-CONTROL"
CONTENT="NO-CACHE"><META

I need some help? Anyone experience this problem before with IE8 FLASH bug? Can not get this to work on all subsequent refresh to the flash. I have a flash piece which simply renders only on the first initial load. After that, if i refresh or visit the page, it does not load correctly. It seems I am having this problem with the swf only on subsequent loading of the page or whenever a refresh happens.
View 1 RepliesI am loading variables from a txt file. After loading in Flash, the format of the variables is weird.
My text file looks something like this:
var1=15&var2=10&var3=this is a test&var4=etc
It has been created in notepad.
When I load the variables with the command loadVariablesNum("variables.txt",0); there is a problem with var1 and var2. These are not considered as integers but as text and have the values "15" instead of 15 and "10" instead of 10.
