ActionScript 2.0 :: Load Variables From An External URL Into Flash?
Apr 3, 2006
I'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) {
[Code]....
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 had a question about loading external variables. Is it possible to load external variables from a different server other than the one that the flash site is hosted on?
And if so, what would that command look like?
For instance, if you load a variable from the site's own server it might look like this;
loadText.load("TEXT1.txt");
Would loading it from a different server look something like this;
loadText.load("http://www.kirupaforum.com/TEXT1.txt");

I'm using the following code to load some variables that contain links to images. I also would like to have a second file with variables with the settings for my flashmovie. How can I use this code to load 2 files? Or do I have to nest them etc?
Code:
var imageVars:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
imageVars.load("images.txt");
imageVars.onLoad = function(success:Boolean) {
//do stuff here with loaded variables
}

This is for mx 2004. How to load variables from an external txt file at the beginning of flash movie...At various keyframes in the scene the movie shows different forms for user to fill in into the TextInput components. As soon as these forms are shown, the TextInput components are pre-filled with default text (the variable values that were loaded, for example "Enter your title here"). I know how to do this in earlier versions easily with the Var variable but now I'm stuck. I've been trying to do something but I keep getting "undefined" in the TextInput.

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.

I'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.

What 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;
[Code].....

I 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.

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.

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'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'm building a networked client app with Flash Builder, and would like to be able to set environmental variables or #define's such as server's hostname and port. For debugging purposes I want to connect the client with different servers (and for other devs too). In C/C++ I'd define TEST_PORT=8888 or something in the IDE or build environment, that way I wouldn't need to commit a settings file along with the client. But not sure what's the standard for Flash Builder.

I am looking for a simple and straightfoward example of how I can pass the value of a variable into flash using javascript.Specifically, I'd like to use javascript to pass the filename of an external video file that I would like to load into my flash movie.I'd also like to call a function in the SWF that plays the movie once the filename as been passed to the flash movie.External Inferface looks like the way to goI've found a few decent AS2.0 examples, but converting them to AS3.0 has proven difficult and many of the examples are much too complex for what I am trying to do.

I am building a flash website and on one of the pages you can play a shoot'em up game that I made using flash.
I am doing this by dragging the swf file into the flash website.This works but when the games is activated it does not work propably anymore in the new flash website..
I can't figure out why. The swf works fine on its own in a webpage and has been sitting on a website of mind for years with no probs.

I have made a site in flash and left the gallery page till last.I have found a free gallery online and am trying to load the gallery.swf file from it to the stage of my main file.It works but the file does not play. It will just load the first frame and the images wont come up.the way that I am using the loading function is by: loadMovie("gallery.swf", galleryLoader);
galleryLoader is the instance name of my Loader Component found in Flash 8 component panel.Someone said to add: galleryLoader.content ._lockroot = true;
But it makes the gallery small I need it to an exact size.
