View 3 RepliesHow to create "hidden" fields in Flash? And also, how to pass these values present in the hidden fields to the server?
View 1 RepliesI have to pass some variables to the flash movie (movie.swf?var1=aaa&var2=bbb). never had a problem with using them before.I've read around a lot an tried different coding, but when I export the swf I got the error, that root is unknown...doesn't matter, if I use one of this
var flashvars:Object = root.loaderInfo.parameters;
var flashvars:Object = stage.loaderInfo.parameters; // stage is unknown here..
var flashvars:Object = MovieClip(root).loaderInfo.parameters;
var flashvars:Object = MovieClip(root.loaderInfo).parameters;

I want to pass flasvars to my app usng php. I can get the php var from the url string fine and write it but i cant pass it through flash vars for some reason.The code im having issues with is in red.

$avar = $_GET['a'];

ok so i have set up a register user page in my flash document and i'm trying to send the variables to a php document on my server which then puts the vars in a database. trouble is the variables dont ever get to the php. every time i add a user a row of blank variables are stored in my database and seen as i have had the php working with html forms passing the vars i am pretty sure this isnt the problem. here is my as3 code:
[Code]....
So, does anyone know of a cross plaform/browser compatible way of passing variables to flash from html or javascript?
View 2 RepliesI have a very classic website with Flash built menu and HTML content. Now what I need is the menu buttons( which are Movie Clips actually) to maintain in their pressed position when a particular button from menu is pressed (which actually I did inside flash, but everytime new hyperlink is followed, the website is refreshed and new SWF loaded without button being pressed obviously).
I know this can be done either by Frames which I do not want or passing an argument in URL string from HTML when we call for an SWF object.
Sounds great, but I how do I pass different arguments to several menu pages, when i have only one SWF object and therefore only one hard-coded place of data or value where i can pass the argument in string ?
Do I need to divide my flash object to as many swf's as i need buttons and links ?
i'm passing vars from flash to php and trying to edit a mysql row from the db. anyone know php and can spot something going awry with my code here?

I have a html/flash site now, [URL]. i access email from my site itself by giving the userid and pwd text box which i copied from the actual website hosting my email access. i copied the entire <form...></form> tag to my page and thus was able to put the name and pwd in my home page only and access the email in a separate window. now i have redesigned my webpage using only flash. i would like to know how i can implement the same using flash. as i have not much experience using action scripting i am a bit stuck about how you pass the hidden form variables. the below is the the exact form syntax:
[Code]...
I have a form created using Flash CS3 and I want to pass the following hidden value name:
optionprod[ ]
The only problem is when I publish the file I get and unexpected "]" error. How can I pass the value with the brackets?
I think this should not be a big deal, but I do not get it to work. I got a "MainFlash" witch loades an XML with about 60 variables (Settings), in base of a paramater then this "MainFlash" loades another "FlashMovie" and this one needs, all, the same Variables too.
How do I properly pass all the Vars in the new/other "FlashMovie"?
U need to know I use LoadMovieNum to Level 0 I do replace the "MainFlash", cause the new loaded "FlashMovie" can have a completly different height and width ( ...I don't think it's possible to change the Document-Setting in a compiled swf, or is it? If this is possible I would not need to load a separate swf to Level 0. the main SWF usually ist about 320x180, the following can be 2x, 3x bigger...
i have to separate swf's, and i need to pass a var from one to the other
initially i thought i could write the var to a text file (do this from the first swf) and then load the var in the second swf
is there an easier way? (i.e. i'm using getURL in the first swf to launch the second swf. could i pass it in that?)
I've been trying to pass function variables from one frame to another for awhile now and looked at a few tutorials on how to do but I've had no success. I'm thinking my flash CS4 is bugged..... this will not work even though its supposed to...
(frame 1 on time line)
stop();
var transferText:String;
[Code].....
Even if I use trace in the same frame I cannot call the variable "transferText" while outside the function. It is always null in both frames. Like I said I pulled this from a few tutorials and others have said it works perfect but it won't for me. I've also tried using AS classes but the result is the same. I cannot call variables created or changed by functions.
BTW, I have no problem passing standard vars from frame to frame this works every time:
(frame 1 on time line)
var passThis:String = "I'm passing this.";
frame 2 on time line)
trace(passThis);
I am having a strange problem with my Actionscript not working in PC IE7. Everything works fine in Mac Firefox and safari. I am passing a variable from the html using swfObject, loading it in flash, populating a movie clips text field. However, the field shows "error" in IE7.
Also with the actionscript I am positioning the movieclip to stage right. When I remove that code everthing appears to work fine. However, positioning to the right is a must for my design. Why does IE7 act differently. I have spent way to long googling a solution to no avail. Can anyone shed light on this for me?
[Code]...
I have a bunch of nested movieclips. I set a var "foo" on the topmost clip. A child clip wants to know the value of foo: easy enough, i just call parent.foo.But what if I don't know how far down the tree the child resides in? Worse, what if foo changes every so often on new branches?My first thought was to simply add thisvar foo = parent.footo every clip, but this of course requires every clip have that line, or it breaks, and it doens'tus if a new child is inserted, or if a parent "foo" value changes.I was thinking that I could call a recursive function, where a child asks it parent, then its parent's parent, etc, for the value of foo along its particular branch...
function whatIsFoo(obj) {
if(obj.parent.foo==undefined) {
return whatIsFoo(obj.parent)

I'm having to work on some old AS2 stuff and my AS2 brain is sadly atrophied.
ActionScript Code:
on (press) {
arrivaldate = day.text+" "+month.text;
//trace(arrivaldate);

Is working fine, passing all the variables into the URL. The question is... why? I can't see any mechanism whereby getURL is given all the variables defined above. Does it pass in all local vars by default?
- in the parent.fla i created a dynamic txt box and var String named 'txt', this initialises the dynamic text box content to say "parent value".
- in the child.fla i tried to assign and send a new string value i.e. "child value" to 'var txt' which in found within parent.fla. At this point if everything was to work fine the dynamic txt box in parent.fla should output "child value".
I have 2 HTML files with embedded flash movies. One HTML file is the main area (main.html) with a flash movie called gallery.swf which has a grid of thumbnail pictures, and the second HTML file (popup.html) is a pop up chromeless window for enlarged images depending on the thumb's the user clicks. Essentially I need to pass variables to popup.html and ulimately its embedded movie enlarged.swf. These variables will basically be id's of the clicked thumbnails which I will use to locate the correct enlarged images on the server to load into into a container clip within enlarge.swf.
View 3 RepliesI'm struggling with my XML thumbnails gallery. The gallery itself is set up without a problem, nice grid of images created, including a listener etc. But then... In my mc.onRelease function, I can't the the node ID to pass through. And I really need it to so I can create the enlargement of the image. Here's my full code so far.
[Code]...
btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, handler);
function handler(e:MouseEvent):void{
}
how do I access an input textfield in that hander? Is the only way to use the Dictionary class?
Could anyone suggest how to fix the function at the bottom so that when button forward_btn with label "Go to next Training Point" when clicked recalculates the fields created in function fileLoaded.[code]
View 2 RepliesI'm having a problem getting my data from input text fields to pass to the ASP script using getURL and "POST". The input fields have var of email and password. The form works fine when an html form passes the same variables.
on the submit button, I have this code
ActionScript Code:
on(press){
//loadVariablesNum("samplescript.asp",0,"post");
getURL("samplescript.asp",0,"post");
[Code]....
where to look to pass the variables from the input text fields?
I try to make a simple login. I use the code
Code:
function sendVars_login(event:MouseEvent):void
{
var scriptRequest_login:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://******.aspx");[code]...
when i send the vars i get back that user doesn't exists although i have checked that it exists.A funny thing is that when i change the following
Code:
scriptVars_login.u_pass = "somePass"
scriptVars_login.u_email ="someEmail"
I get correct results. So the .aspx script works and the way i'm sending the variable works. when i trace
scriptRequest_login.data
i get a url encoded string, so i tried to unescape the value
Code:
var unescapedString = unescape(String(scriptVars_login));
scriptRequest_login.data = unescapedString;
scriptLoader_login.load(scriptRequest_login);
now when i trace(scriptRequest_login.data) i get an unescaped value but it still doesn't work
my css drop down menu is hidden behind a flash element I have on my site. I have tried changing the z index but still nothing. Please help.... here is the page.[URL]..
View 3 RepliesThis is a custom flash template I downloaded, when you watch/use the template you can see about me, and all the text in it, however when I attempt to edit it to my specs, I see the frame where it is located, but I cannot edit any text, because I can't SEE any text!!So basically, in editing mode, I don't see any text to edit, but when using the template, I see a lot of info... I have no idea what to do, and please keep in mind I am in no means a professional, or even intermediately good with Flash...
View 1 RepliesI have 2 divs each containing SWFObjects. Here's the jquery that shows/hides my Divs:
$(document).ready(function(){
$("#DIV2").hide();
$('#button1').bind('click', function() {
[Code]...
But I need my video in DIV2 to STOP PLAYING when it's hidden, and start from the beginning when you show it again. From what I read, I need to remove it from the DOM...but I don't understand how to re-add it. I've seen suggestions for detach(); but can't figure out where my AppendTo() would go.
I have a flash file that is in a div that is hidden when the page is loaded with the css property display:none. The div with the flash content is then shown at a later stage through javascript.
When will the flash file load? Ideally, I only want it to load when the div is shown.
I have imported movieclip on my stage. But this movieclip has objects which lay out of borders of this movieclip, so I've got part of objects on stage which must be invisible, but they are not invisible.
View 1 RepliesI am trying to make a flash file open a specific xml file from a URL that is set in the php file. when a the page is loaded, the php file is called for the variable. you must use a query line in the URL....example : [URL]
the php file should see the 'folder' variable and use it in the url that i want to load the xml file from. Once the variable is set in the php file, i want to transfer it to the swf file without having to change the url that the user types.
Here is basically what i want to do....
i want to be able to type in www.mysite.com/test.swf?folder=MyFolder in the browser. the php file will check some stuff in the mysql database and make sure that the user's space is not used up.....i can do that part with the space. If the user's space is not used up, it will post a variable to the swf file to load the xml file with the 'folder' variable in the url.. example :.com/TheFolderVariable/thexmlfile.xml Once the variable is passed to the swf file, it will load properly.
I was trying to use the loadVars() and the loadVariable() commands but i cannot get the php file to post back to the swf.
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
