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.

View 1 RepliesI'm working in Flash 5...I've made a random loading database of animations that's the first thing to load in my movie. My problem is that after the random images fade in, display, and then fade out I need the next movie clip to load. Right now I can't figure out how to get the second movie clip to load Following the random loading movie clips...all the other animations want to play at the same time the random movie clip plays.I used a modified version of the Kirupa random loading background...it's on the timeline as "Location" with the action scripting for the random load on that layer. Can anyone tell me how how get the second animation to play After the random loading clips play?[code]
View 14 RepliesI'm trying to do a demo with a fastforward button and a rewind button that will go to the next scene and previous scene...however, due to the format that my predecessor created used...I'm stuck with alot of scenes. The navbar (ff and rewind buttons) is in a .swf file called main. The actual demo is in demo3.swf. I created a loader scene to redirect to the correct scene (when ff and rewind are hit), but I'm not sure how to pass the variables needed from the main movie.

The problem is that I want to use it at the preloader frame, and display it same time when flash file is loading. But it won't work, it loads when the file has fully loaded, and then its too late.I know that I could use another swf to load this swf and display it then, but its not what I want.
I�m planning to make a magazine in Flash, and I would have to load several pages of it in order. But I�d like to put the buttons forward and previous on the main movie and make then load each page in a container.Is there a way to set variables for each page so the main movie "knows" what movie is loaded at the moment and what page it has to load next.

how to send data via ActionScript 3.0, I just wanted to make sure that my code is on the up-and-up. I'm having some problems getting my data to send, and I'm wondering if it's on me, or on my client's backend.

I'm trying to load the variables from a database into my flash file but I'm unsure what to use. I know for XML it's
var myXML:XML;
myXML= new XML(e.target.data);
but i'm not sure what the type is if it is coming from a database? I sent it the database via php and need to receive it back into flash. Even a reference so I can go look, I'm just not sure what class to begin with.
I have a flash header that receives random text from a database through a PHP page. I'm using the loadVariables function to bring in the first random text and that works fine. I then have a button that should access the PHP again and retrieve another random text set from the database (once again using the loadVariables function).
Whenever I use the loadVariables function on the button to renew the random text, it brings up the same text over and over again. When I use loadVariablesNum it works, but opens up a blank page with the output of the variables (getURL also works, opening up a blank page).
Is there a way for me to use the loadVariablesNum without having the page popup with the variables printed out? Or better yet, is there a way to just use the loadVariables to renew the info?
I have a database with info about each of my movies (filename, size, length, credits, etc) How would I load the variables for a particular movie from the database into the flash?

What is the best way to load a big load of variables into Flash? There must be a way to do this withLoadVars and a for-loop.my txt file:

My cfm script pulls the contents of database fine. (a cfoutput reveals variables). In flash however I cannot see my dynamic variables.
// In the flash mainframe I have.
loadVariables("LoadVars.cfm",0,"GET");
// I've also tried this:
myLoadVars = new LoadVars();
myLoadVars.load("LoadVars.cfm");
// In the LoadVars.cfm I have.
<CFQUERY NAME="ElfVars" DATASOURCE="ElfQuest">
SELECT * FROM Stats
</CFQUERY>
I have a dynamic text field named "Name". Why doesn't it display the Name in the database. I can see my variable hardcoding cfoutput in the page. SQL is working. Why can't I see them in Flash?

But the problem is that I do not know how to do it. So my question is how to build a dynamic flash grid wich is fill with data from a database? Is there a way to do it with action script only or I must do it another way?
View 1 RepliesI 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.
I have a simple flash form I put together (can be viewed at [url]... I have 4 input text boxes (name1, email, phone, and message1). Frame 1 is the form, frame 2 is the success message, and frame 3 is the message failed frame. The submit button has the following ActionScript attached to it [code]...
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;

Allow this binary data to be extracted via a http request to be dynamically loaded inside of a web page.Now the first part was easy. I have all of my swf's uploaded and stored inside of the database. I have code that can make a request for the binary and write it to the response, so far so good. Now this is where I am stuck.I thought I could dynamically load the swf binary data by creating a very basic swf that simply contains a movie clip holder and for now a simple loadMovie statement. My idea being that I can could provide a url for the loadMovie statement that returns the swf binary data. This is where I have ground to a halt.
I can see the call being made from the swf, I can see the data being returned but I cannot get it to render. I remember seeing an article some time agao where someone stated that they had used this method with success but I cannot find now
