I have a client that needs a flash intro that will be accessed through a link in an email campaign. When the user clicks the link in their email, it sends them to this flash intro, but also sends a querystring with it. I need the flash file (v5) to read the querystring, use it during the movie, and then pass it on to an asp page when the intro is done playing.What is the best method to do this?

I'm unclear on the proper format for passing a QueryString Value using FlashVars, this is what I'm trying <param name="FlashVars" value="part=<%= Request.QueryString["part"] %>" /> but this causes a parse/encode error and the swf doesnt load, same if I use single quotes ie <param name="FlashVars" value="part=<%= Request.QueryString['part'] %>" />
I have this old project where I have to pass a querystring from one flash to another...
mc.onPress = function() {
whatURL = "index.html?id="+this.id+"&num="+this.num
getURL(whatURL, "_blank", "GET");
}
But when pressed, i get a querystring longer than my arm : [URL] and a whole lot of other variables and functions... i end up getting a Request-URI too large.How come I pass all these different variables to the query string when I just ask for 2?
I am having a flash application where I want to send parameters to it via the javascript from a defaul.aspx page. I have a parameter called Id where it can accept alphanumeric values. The query string in the url works fine if I enter just numbers for the Id, and takes me to the specific page related to that id , but if I enter a combination of numbers and characters like 001A , it does not work.
This is the code I used
<script type="text/javascript">
function getQueryVariable(variable) {
var query = window.location.search.substring(1);
var vars = query.split("&");
for (var i=0; i<vars.length; i++) {
[Code] .....
And then passed the flashvars into swfobject.embedSWF. I also don't want to change anything in my mxml files in flash side.

how to pass multiple querystring to html or asp ?
I need to grab values from the querystring and inject them into a getURL(""); snippet that's in the on (release) {} for a button.So if the URL that contains the embedded swf is
[URL]
I'd like to get that otherdomain.com and inject it. Something like
var returnUrl = "";
// do magic querystring getting
getURL(returnUrl);
*Edit: I need to snag the querystring because I don't have access to the embed code. It's being rendered by a third party (Articulate) and loaded into a frame. I do have access to the code that renders the frame html, which is why I figured query string would be the best route, and one button that's used in the presentation.
Note, I live in C# land, not ActionScript land so I most likely butchered the syntax. I just need to get this button working as a one off and I'll probably never deal with it again.BTW, I've seen the abdulqabiz QueryString object that's floating around out there but it kind of seems like overkill, like there should be something baked into the framework for this. I also lack the knowledge of how to incorporate this into my little button on (release) {} event

View 1 RepliesI need to call a REST web service that provides an XML feed of weather conditions. I have 13 cities for which conditions are needed, and only 3 nodes for each city are required (vs. the entire feed). My very basic first attempt is as follows:
[Code]...
First, how do I parse the 3 nodes, and ? Next, is there a way to pass a different querystring argument for each of the 13 cities? Finally, how would I add these values to an FLV that's been imported and placed on stage? The FLV displays a geographical area and pans from east to west plotting cities as it goes. At each city plot, the 3 node values need to be "superimposed" onto the FLV.

View 3 RepliesI want to get url querystring value in the .swf file. Suppose when mypage.html?itemname=xyz is requested, flash file should automatically catch "xyz" and display it.

View 17 RepliesI'm in a big distress, I'm using AS2 with CS3 (Flash 9.0 on OSX Snow Leopard) and I can't get the querystring. I don't understand it has always worked before with my previous version of Flash. I'm using this AS code: t_txt.text += _root.age; I have a dynamic text linked to t_txt. For the HTML I simply published using Flash, then I changed in the html file like this:
<param name="movie" value="age.swf?age=56" />
And
<embed src="age.swf?age=56" quality="high" etc >
When I set to use AS1 it just works fine. But I can't use AS1 all my projects are with AS2. So what's wrong?
The FLV I need to load is at a remote URL, but the server requires a ticket appended to the end in order to send the file over my way.so http[url]...........But if I try and send that into the source I get "No root node found; if url is for an flv it must have .flv extension and take no parameters"
View 5 RepliesCurrently in Flash I am trying to pull in a value based on the querystring. Example..
[Code]...
This works in the main flash actionscript, but I need the querystring in a class constructor that I created. How can I pass the querystring to a separated out actionscript file?
I've been working with this tutorial:[URL] Using AS1, I've been able to extract a variable from a SWF, e.g. the SWF has a querystring associated with it, in the HTML of the web page on which it is embedded:
Code:
<param name="movie" value="loaderInfoExample.swf?userName=TestUser" />
<embed src="loaderInfoExample.swf?userName=TestUser" ....
It's easy to get the variable into AS1 - it's just there, without doing anything. I've tried to do the same in AS2, but I can't get it to work, using Permadi's page. All I want to do is to get the value of the 'userName' var from the SWF Querystring, into a variable in the SWF. The example on the Permadi page didn't work - I may have been doing something very wrong of course.
What I have is main movie that loads child movie via

I want to have an swf load an image file in an image container within the swf from the querystring. 1. In the query string I'd like the extension of the image file to not show:
2. In the swf I might have more then one place where the same howdy.jpg loads, but in different sizes. Which method would keep the aspect ratio of original and resize to fit varying container sizes?
3. I have some javascript parsing code with an swf example that I got from this page. [URL] But when I tried to alter the fla for my use it didn't work. I wasn't able to find 1 line of actionscript in the query.fla.
I prepared a movie and put into my aspx page and there is a button on this movie which navigates to another aspx page. It has to use querystring information to decide which page to go.
-The page which i put my flash movie is : entry.aspx
-If the page is : entry.aspx?lang=tr : it will go to the turkish page on button click, (url : "mturkish.aspx")
-if the page is : entry.aspx?lang=en : it will go to the english page on button click, (url : "menglish.aspx")
1) Passing a control itself as parameter into a function 2) Passing an id ( managed manually) of the control as a parameter into a function . Say for an array of controls I have ctrl_Array = [ my_btn, my_mc, my_dtg ] and corresponding id_Array[0,1,2] PS: If my question is difficult to understand, i just wanna know, if it is a good programming practice to pass control references among the classes as function parameters ?

Creating a flash project where users can visit the site, and turn off/on objects in a house (ie. lights, tv, computer, etc.) The next user who will visit the house in the website, will see what lights or house appliances were left on. Flash variables are passed to PHP, and those variables are saved in an XML file. (For testing to see what is being saved to the XML file, on each click --vars.xml opens.) In the vars.xml file, I see that the house objects that were last turned on--are saved in the XML file- But in the SWF file, only one of the objects that are listed in the XML are turned ON. Only the last object that was clicked on would show ON--not all the objects in the XML file.)

I'm trying to pass the file name of an image upload PHP script into Flash's UILoader component. So when a user uploads their image, the file name of the file is passed to flash so that the image displays within the Flash UILoader application.

I have a web application with an HTML5 video player, and I've been asked to get it to work as an AIR app. So far so good, except that there is a bug in jPlayer that requires you to use absolute file paths for media if you're using flash fallback. I need to get the file path of the app: or appstorage: directory on a users machine, and pass that to javascript so that the player can find my videos.

I 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;

So, I read the tutorial about passing variables by changing the url of the .swf with the following code:
Code:
if (movie==1 or movie=="") {
trace("default");
}
[Code]....
My question is, is there anything special if I want it to respond to the url of a .php page? So, if I have a page that ends in "?page_id=2" could I do the same thing or does it have to be an .swf?
Code:
if (page_id==1 or page_id=="") {
trace("default");
}
[Code]....
