i am trying to load vars from a text file into a load vars object.
var kitchentext = new LoadVars();
kitchentext.load('moccastext.txt');
Once in the object, i thought i could reference them like so
kitchentext.name
kitchentext.style
but i am having trouble doing this.
i have a textbox called displytext.
_root.displaytext.text = kitchentext.name;
doesnt work
When i've created a vars in my fla file and load it from the html file to dynamic text field, using this action
[code]...
Ok ... it is working, but it only for 1 text field. So .. how i can load a vars from one html file with other dynamic text fields.
So I am trying to load variables from a .php file into a movie clip and then plug in those variables to various fields and for some reason its not working...so heres whats going on...(this is for the staff page for my church)
In the primary timeline we have this line...
loadVariables("./middleware/staff.php?id=" + staffID,
staff_panel, "GET");
We are loading the variables into the movie clip which contains our various fields...the value for staffID is created in the previous frame when the user click on that person's icon, we know for sure that this is being passed correctly to this frame, because I have a text box in the main timeline which displays the number.
The resulting string from the .php file looks like this...
staffNameE=Jason+Webb&staffTitleE=Lead+Pastor&staffDescE=Jason's+bio+g oes+here...&picLoader=./images/staff_pics/jwebb.jpg&staffEmail=webmast er@brooklife.org
Within the movie clip that the variables are being loaded into we have this....it loops till the var load is done and then writes the information to the fields...
while (L ne "stop"){
if (staffNameE ne ""){
staffName = staffNameE;
[Code].....

Well, I've come across a problem and i'm stumped. Anyway, I stumbled upon this aim online presence check in an old AIM pdf file. There is a server check at an aol server to see if a person is online, if they are it sends the browser to the "on_url" setting, if not, it sends the browser to the "off_url" setting. I realized that it doesn't work for some screen names for some reason, but it does for mine, so i wanted to use it in flash. I've tried three ways, and two of them WORK! But, only when I run them from my computer... When I upload it to my host, it doesn't work! Here's the two ways I've tried:
[code]...
Again, the first two WORK when running the SWF locally, but for some reason not on a couple of hosts that i've tried.. maybe i'm going about this the wrong way. I've thought about making some php script to do this then have AS read the PHP, but then i'm not sure about the PHP code on that.
my varloader.fla sample will load up a couple of variables from a .txt file (numbers.txt) and it will display them just fine in the dynamic text boxes on the layer below the actionscript layer. but if I move one of the dynamic text fields to another frame, lots of errors happen.
i gather this is because when the movie moves to the next frame, it 'forgets' all of the definitions in the actionscript of frame 1, but certainly there must be a way to do one load of the variables from the text file and use them project wide? please tell me i don't need to write a loader to parse my .txt file in ever frame I want to use the .txt variables?? how can i make these variables global? all i want to do is be able to display first_txt and second_txt on subsequent frames from the frame with the AS...

I'm trying to give a friend a hand with his project and could use a bit of direction. We are trying to pass a string of variables and values from an html page to a flash project. We're using javascript to put the variables and values into a string named queryvar. We are able to view the string using a javascript alert box at the time that it should be passed to flash. Now here's where I can't figure out where the problem lies...I'm not sure if we're passing the string to the flash movie properly. The html embed tags are as follows:
[Code]....
why the "songinfo" variable (song title and artist) won't always show up. Sometimes, only the "seconds remaining" value will appear. Since that number is based on caculations I'm doing to other variables, I know that I'm getting the variables correctly but I have to sometimes reload the web page multiple times in order for the song artist and title to display.
[URL]
What I've done is to create a Flash-based display for a radio station that shows what song is currently playing on the radio. I'm using actionscript to read in a series of variables from a PHP file (sont title/artist, length of song, and time the song started playing).Now, rather than having the Flash file check the PHP file every 30 seconds and overload the servers, I'm using actionscript to calculate a countdown timer value for me and to only recheck the PHP file when that counter is < 0 (i.e. the song is over).
I am communicating with my php file file but i having trouble with the variables loading into the email the php code generates. I'm gues the problem has to do with which timeline the variables are loading into. I've tried several things here and nothing appears to work. Can you guys tell me if this looks correct?

I am trying to make a button that when clicked on loads an external text file into a dynamic text box.
I can make it work when I use it specifically - but I can't make it work when I want to use it as part of a generic 'button function'.
Basically I have a .txt file "mycontent.txt" which is called using the Load Vars function inside a generic function (tab_grow) i created to managed the behavior of the 12 tabs that are the navigation for the movie. For now i'm just focusing on ONE of the tabs. Basically the tabs move when a user hovers over them and when they mouse off. When they click it should call the external text file. The section in the .txt i'm calling is called 'mega_data'.
This is what I have right now:
HTML Code:
function tab_grow(mov, file) {
mov.onRollOver = function() {
mov.onEnterFrame = function() {
[Code].....
BUT then I can't change which section of the .txt file I pull up for different tabs - which is the whole point of the function!!

View 0 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???
View 14 RepliesI'd like to simply display the users name and photo inside a flash app. I hope to do this only in the client without using any backend scripting. The ActionScript 3 SDK for Facebook Platform is under construction for the next few weeks to comply with new facebook requirements so I don't trust the current build to be useful.
We have searched and built tests for a week with no luck. I have a feeling the answer is either very simple or not possible.

and a dynamic textbox called "myHTML". If I name 'var' on this textbox everything works fine, but I want to write it in actionsscript instead. Where do I write that? (I have 3 different vars in the text-file)
I can't get it to work. I now messed up the code so I have to start over and I'm a bit desperate now
I think the core of the problem in my actionscriptproject is the following:
1. I need to read, for example, 20 variables from a file, preferable an xml file. This file has 20 lines, and has two fields per line, variable name and content
(being text between " ").
so data.xml would be something like:
variable1, "text for variable1"
variable 2, "this is var2 content"
...
or even:
&variable1=value1&variable2=value2&variable3=value3&variable4=value... and so on to 20.
2. Then, from the 20 read vars, a new array should be "populated" randomly! And at this point, I don't even know how to start doing that.
I am using the follwing actionscript to send 2 vars to a php file:
Code:
getURL ("file.php?name1=" + name1+ "&name2=" +name2, "_self", "POST");
.but when i test it local. I see the following:
"file.php?name1=david&name2=posh?M%5FloveMatch=%5B type+Function%5D&calculateScore=%5Btype+Function%5 D&your%5Fname%5Fstatic=dfjkawef&your%5Floveone%5Fs tatic=oiaSDV&score=78&scoretext=78%25&name1=david& name2=posh"
and all i wanna get is:
"name1=david&name2=posh"
