Is there a way of making a normal loadVars.load load a url depending on a variable you set in the swf?
var reciever = new LoadVars();
loadurl = "test_onload_3.cfm?propertyID="+MY_VARIABLE_GOES_HERE;
reciever.load(loadurl);
so that I can set my variable and then load the variables with the propertyID that I choose in the swf??

I need to load a SWF depending on a parameter in the URL ... how do I do in order to make flash recognize the RUL parameters? For example, I want that: [URL] load the index.php with an animation for utah, [URL] load the index.php with an animation for texas, and so on... how do i achieve this?
View 3 RepliesI've been busting my head forever on this... I'm trying to load variables from an external txt file in the same folder as my SWF file to be used as normal variables in _root and not in Text Fields, every method or Tutorial I found and tried with both LoadVars() and LoadVariables() only works with loading into Dynamic Text Feilds but there is no way I can copy those values into normal variables to be used for other purposes like integers and normal strings...
I've read over a dozen tutorials and tried more than 30 different lines of code but there seems to be no way to get the values into normal variables, the list of things I've tried is way too long to mention, so I'll just ask, anyone here know how to load values into normal variables and perhaps an Array? my text file is called "Strings.txt" but again I do not want to load those strings directly to a text Field I want them to be used in a different area...
i want to have an swf loaded between 8am and 6pm and another one between 6pm and 8am. How can i do that? i guess it's not very hard but i don't get it. i suppose i need a variable with the hours. then do a if statment that check if the current hours is between 8am and 6pm. then if it's between this time do this if not do that..
View 8 RepliesI have a pre-made solution I purchased. But it only works when it's variables are all loaded from a #include .txt. Here's a sample file: [URL] It's all in the form of an include rather than a loadVars. Is there anyway to load this file with a loadVars?
View 28 RepliesI'd like to load a .txt file containing HTML with LoadVars, and have a link within the HTML code perform a Flash action. I'm sure I've seen this before but I'm not sure of the syntax, and I can't seem to find the documentation. If anyone could provide information or links to information on this, I would appreciate it.To clarify--let's say I've already loaded my HTML into Flash. I want a code kind of like this:
HTML Code:
<a action="myFunction();">Start this movie</a>
where myFunction() is defined in the Flash movie already.
I have a MC which when user presses a button slides onto the screen. Within this MC is a number of buttons, with names like 'btn1', 'btn2' etc.I have already searched around and found a tutorial which shows me how to load images from an XML file.What I'd like to do is for each button in the MC, find the corresponding XML element and then load those images, then move onto the next button, until they are all done.So I'd imagine the XML would be something like:
Code:
<images>
<btn1>

Is there any workaround to load in complete html pages with LoadVars ?
I have this client that wants to update some pages (just adding and removing text and pictures), but I would love to do it in action scripting and have him update an external file.
Now I could tell him to remove the tags from <html> to <body> and from </body> to </html>, save it as text file and add a variable (like myText at the top of his file, but that wouldn't make things much easier for him.
He'll probably start to complain that it would have been easier if I'd made it in html instead of flash
how to display an html page inside of flash ? (except for opening browser windows and loading the page in that window ofcourse - that isn't good enough)
I am trying to control the visibility of a movie clip using a boolean variable contained within a text file.
The mc i want to make invisible is in a swf which is loaded into a 'master.swf' using a MovieClipLoader object.
I have managed to get text to display across various boxes in my loaded (child) MC using a loadvars obeject defined in the masterMC and used by the childMC. I just cant seem to be able to get the value of my Boolean variable to go with the text variables and therefore control the visibilty of my MC.
This is my code - (in the master movie):
var myLV:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
myLV.onLoad = function(success) {
if (success) {

The code it concerns is this:
(which I found here on kirupa i belive)
myData = new LoadVars();
myData.onLoad = function() {

Preloader hanging / freezing with "hiccups"I'm trying to do the following. I have a menu with 11 buttons and a xml. The user can select multiple buttons and depending on which buttons are selected it will be loaded images of the xml corresponding to the selected buttons.
The menu have to works as follows, for example, if I select the button 1, will be loaded X images, if I select the button 1 and 5, will be loaded X + Y images, if I select the button 1, 5 and 9 it will be loaded X + Y + Z images.

I have a small gallery that loads thumbnails and the links they represent from an xml file. When I test it gallery on my computer everything works fine. However, when I simulate a download or when I upload to an actual site things start going wrong.[URL]I modified what i needed too and reused the rest. Everything works fine except for that the load order of the thumbnails is reversed. I haven't really changed any part of the code that would cause this, or at least I don't think I have.
The real problem, however, is that when i simulate a downloaded version or when upload them to my test site, the position of the thumbnails are swapped. A thumbnail i expected to load in a certain place and order has now taken the place of another one. When clicking a thumbnail it displays the picture of the thumbnail that should actually have been there, so the links still load in the correct order.When i change the simulated bandwidth while testing the movie, the position alter. At one bandwidth they show up in a certain order and when then trying out another bandwidth the order changes.

If you click topic1 I want topic1.swf to load, click topic2 to load topic2.swf etc. What I am doing wrong with var url:String = "topic"[i]+".swf";?
[Code]...
var loader:Loader = new Loader();
loader.load(new URLRequest("panghat spa.swf"));
addChild(loader);
want to load panghat spa.swf as a variable by pasing variable from html page in to flash
Is there a way for flash to detect a user's bandwidth, and depending the size of bandwidth, stop loading, or continue with the load? Now that I'm thinking about it, this would probably be a javascript detection script and if the bandwidth is high, load .swf, if not load a .jpg?

When we do XML.load on flash application, then we do netstat on the server-side it opens a persistent connection. Im finding out the reason why its doing that, it should be close right away when the xml loading has finished. problem is the connection remains open.
View 5 RepliesI'm just trying to make it so the video in my swf (the flv) does not immediately play when a web page opens. I have: imported the .mov into flash, creating a flv file
given it a skin converted it to a symbol (Movie Clip)
given it an instance name of movie_Clip
created an actionscript layer with the simple code of: movie_Clip.stop();
Shouldn't the clip be stopped upon opening the SWF file? How can I make it be stopped?
I have several movieclips placed on the timeline that I want to be invisible and not run until the user clicks a button. The movieclips are linked to a class I set up:
Code:

The problem is that some, but not all, movieclips show briefly when they load before becoming invisible. I can get around this by starting each movieclip with a blank frame, but there must be a better way.

Making a photo slideshow to load as an external movie clip on my site when a button is pushed. Here is a link to the .swf file: [URL]. There is text that describes each set of 6 pictures. After the set of 6 pictures plays through the text is supposed to disappear and a new text appears to label the next set of 6 pictures. Problem is: the text doesn't disappear! I made all the text layers a symbol/movie clip. I animated each text to disappear at a certain point in the timeline but when I test the movie the texts just remain there and build up one after the other. When watching the movieclip, pay attention to the text in the lower left screen.
