I need to pass a variable to a function inside a function. However this parameter (i) seems not to be passed (to function ...onRollOver). This is required to attach a textfield to a movieclip (reading the adress and showing it as a tooltip).

I'm working on an adventure game and I need to find a way to pass the next MovieClip name to the function that loads it in the main timeline.
ActionScript Code:
Bowl_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, BowlClick);
function BowlClick(evt:MouseEvent){
var nextMovie:String = "nameOfNextMovie";
this.parent.parent newMovieLoader (nextMovie);
}
This is all good but I can't find a way to use the nextMovie parameter in the function and load a movie from the library. I hope you can understand my explanation..
I am working on designing a "flyer" type of advertisement at the moment... and I have pretty much everything working... everything except for this, that is. I need to be able to pass a string into flash that would basically be XML into flash. I know how to pass strings in, but where this has many "'s and /'s. "FlashVars" looks like this as an example...
Code:
<param name="FlashVars" value="items=<?xml version="1.0"?>
<flyer><flyer-item index="1" shortDescription="small car" longDescription="a small car" price="1000" image="[URL]" />
<flyer-item index="2" shortDescription="car" longDescription="a car" price="2000" image="[URL]" />
<flyer-item index="3" shortDescription="big car" longDescription="a big car" price="3000" image="[URL]" /></flyer>" />
I also have this in my embed tag and for some reason, this is what I get on my page when I try to load it up...Big Empty White Space
" /> " quality="high" bgcolor="#ffffff" width="550" height="400" name="temp" align="middle" allowScriptAccess="sameDomain" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="[URL]" />
It's like the XML is terminating the string or something.
I was wondering if this concept is doable:
Scenario:
4 areas on 1 stage which are quite similar (eg webcamconference, each area has the same functions)
Buttonobjects are numbered(eg area 1 has playbutton1,mutebutton1,namebutton1,namelabel1, etc)
every area gets a close-Button which closes/shuts down the area.(close1,close2,close3...)i want to archive the following:
if(close1.isPressed){
function invisall(1);
}[code]....
this should do the trick via dynamic Nr at the end of each default button(eg playbutton)
but ofc
"playbutton1"._visible=false;
doesnt work because playbutton1 is still a String.how can i take the String as a Buttonname /ButtonObject? do i need to write an new function? this would destroy the purpose of less code. for now i will split the area into frames that i put on the stage.
I can then access it and get to to trace from anywhere like this:[code]However...I need to to go into something being converted to a string...like this...txt.load("xml/january/1.xml");Where the Janauary is replaced with the global variable. However, everything inside the quotations is being converted to strictly text, so that txt.load("xml/monthvariable/1.xml");Literally looks for the "monthvariable" folder instead of the January Folder. How can I put a variable into a string like this, so the variable is actually the variable and not the strict text?

I have 190 movieclips which display various types of information. When a user clicks on a movieclip, it has to tween larger but also send a string to a method. I'll probably e.currentTarget to use one function which contains a tween and I wondered if there was a quick way to pass string info in a similar way?
So, each movieclip has it's own value which can be passed to a method which will use that value. The only way I can think of so far is to have 190 functions which send the string data to the appropriate place. I'm trying to avoid that if I can.

i am trying to load different xml that get generated through .net when I am trying to pass varibels i am getting undefined. Can someone give me a heads up on what i might be doing wrong. from what I have read and learned I can pull via-

Then I am defining pid in within the object class.
Code:
<param name="pid" value='<% =Request.QueryString["pid"] %>'>

How you pass a query string using the AC_FL_RunContent? in the old days you would do something like move.swf?isOn=something;How is that done today using the AC_FL_RunContent.

I'm fed up of having to import the tweener class every time I create a tween, so I want to create a global function that I can call which will import them for me, as well as executing a tween.
So something like this:
Code:
_global.globalTweener = function(mcToTween,tweenDeets){
import caurina.transitions.Tweener;
import caurina.transitions.properties.ColorShortcuts
import caurina.transitions.properties.DisplayShortcuts;
[Code]....
The problem I'm having is that I can't pass the parameters as a string... Do I need to convert it into code first?
Edit: I know I could pass each parameter individually, but I want to avoid doing this, as the diversity of the tweens I need to do is great, and it would will mean passing about 100,000,000 variables to the tween... okay maybe not that many, but probably about 20 variables which would probably take longer than the inital hassle of importing the class.

View 2 RepliesThe app is basically a small product catalog, depending on the choices made within the app I need to feed that data as a string into a text field in a html form that the app will redirect to when a submit button is pressedMy knowledge of AS3 is pretty limited and I'm learning it on the fly and I've really no idea how to accomplish this.Somebody said I should use the ExternalInterface function but I've really no idea how to do it and on reading the flash help file it seems that ExternalInterface communicates with the html page in which the .swf is located, whereas I need it to pass data to another html page and then load that page.
For instance say I have a html page called forms.html and that page has a textfield with the ID: FlashOutput and Label: Your Order, I have a string of data and a submit button that redirects to the URL form.html how do I pass my data string to the textfield within that html page?
Actionscript Code:
//---My Data---\var flashOut:String = new String();flashOut = "Product Code: ABC1234 Typeface: 3 FontColour: Silver YourInscription: Hello."//---My Submit Button---

I have a dynamic text field in flash that is populated by an input box. The dynamic text field has a maxmium width it can be. So i have it as multiline WITH wodrwap on. My problem is that I have to send this data to server and for the php to be able to text the text and output the text as it is displayed in flash. There seems to be no way of finding the linebreaks and passing them in the string as far as I can see?
