ActionScript 2.0 :: Passing Variables From Loaded Swf?

Jun 29, 2008

so I have menu.swf that uses loadClip to bring in data.swf

Depending on what button is pressed I want menu to read menuHeight = 4600; from data.swf

in data swf I declare the var as _root.menuHeight = 4600;

and in menu.swf I try to read it as normal. menuHeight.

Shouldnt this work since the _root. of data.swf is the _root. of menu.swf?

ActionScript 2.0 :: Passing Variables From Loaded SWFs

Jun 26, 2007

I'm working in a modular app and I'm having trouble passing variables between a Parent and it's loaded Child SWF file. The Child SWF has a single object called hotSpot_mc. The Parent has a frame called frame_mc to load the Child. I'm trying to pass the value of bHotSpot, which is turned on and off when the user mouses over the MovieClip. Testing shows that the value is being set in the Child but not in the Parent, where it remains undefined. Should I be using shared objects or do I just have to use better targeting?

Here is the parent SWF

Code:
// Load the child SWF into frame_mc
loadBackground("Room_1.swf");
function loadBackground(backgroundName:String):Void {

ActionScript 3.0 :: Passing Variables To And From Externally Loaded SWF?

Jul 13, 2011

Then there is an external SWF that is loaded by main.swf. I am trying to get this external SWF to check the value of "myVar" and depending on what the value is, send the playhead in the main.swf to a certain frame. have it almost working, but it is giving me problems. And I am not sure it is the best way to do it.On the timeline of main.swf is a movieClip called "BG". It has 6 frames. the first frame declares that variable, and each of the other 5 frames, set the value of it. I need the external swf to check the value of "myVar" to detemine where to send the playhead of the mian.swf. So on a frame in the external SWF, I have this code:

Code:
MovieClip(parent).addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRA ME, fl_EnterFrameHandler); function fl_EnterFrameHandler(event:Event):void { dispatchEvent(new Event("myVar_value", true)); }

Professional :: Passing Variables To And From Loaded Movie Clips

May 7, 2010

I have a movie clip where I store a value in a variable called "yourname" and then load a different .swf file in level 1. I display the value of "yourname" in a dynamic text box, that works fine. I then move on to a frame where the user has an input text box and can re-enter a value for the "yourname" variable, and then clicks a button symbol to reassign the value. Bear in mind, "yourname" was not originally stored on this level and this movie clip, it is stored on level 0 on the first (main) movie clip.  Here is my code in the button:
 
on (release) {
_level0.yourname = String (inpt_newName.text);
}
 
inpt_newName is the input text box. My intent here is to have a "main" timeline where variables are stored, and then load and unload various .swf movie clips as needed, storing and variables (i.e. decisions) that the user makes.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Passing Variables From A Loaded Movie Clip To Main?

Mar 2, 2007

I can't seem to load a movie clip, and then pass some variables from that loaded movie clip back to through stage_mc it is loading into - to the SubClip.

The structure is as follows:

Main
>SubClip
>>Stage_mc

Where the new movie clip is loading into stage.

I need to pass two variables from the loaded clip into the SubClip. Simple vars to fill some dynamic text in SubClip.

I've done the whole _root.myvar thing, _parent, and _global.

ActionScript 2.0 :: F 8 - Passing Variables From One SWF To Another?

Feb 8, 2009

I have a swf with an input text box and a button. When the button is clicked, I need it to open another swf in a new window on a different domain and pass the variables to a dynamic text box in the new window. I looked at local connect but I wasn't sure it would work because the two windows wouldn't necessarily be loaded at the same time and they are on different domains.

Passing Variables Between .swf Files?

Sep 9, 2009

I am loading images into a movie clip dynamically from an XML file. Based on what image the user clicks, I would like to be able to open a separate window, displaying a different image. Ideally, I'd pass the variable of which image was selected to the new open window.I've done some research online, and am thinking I'm making this harder than it needs to be.

Actionscript from main movie

Code:
chosenImage.onPress = function() {[code]......

I've also seen where I could possibly pass a variable through ASP.NET, but am experiencing the same errors when trying to pass the variable. I suppose I could embed the popup.swf file in a new .aspx page, that would probably be acceptable.

Passing Variables Between MovieClips?

Sep 6, 2010

I'm trying to develop a site map, which draws a tick over the sections of my app that have been completed. I've figured out how to draw the tick and how to pass variables from root to the MovieClip that the function is in.

To make the tick appear only after an mc has been watched, I tried setting a variable equal to 1 ino the last frame of the MovieClip, and telling the function to run if that variable was 1.

I'm not getting compiler errors, but I'm also not getting the tick. And I'm definitely completing the Movie

Here's what I've got so far: In root

Code:
var xcoord = 125;
var ycoord = 300;
var WaterComplete = 0;
In WaterMovie

PHP :: XML - Passing Variables From Flash

Sep 4, 2010

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.)

package {
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.text.*;
import flash.net.*;

ActionScript 2.0 :: Passing Php Variables?

Feb 24, 2006

I need to pass the following php information into flash...

<?php
defined( '_VALID_MOS' ) or die( 'Direct Access to this location is not allowed.' );
$link = "<img src ="$mosConfig_live_site/images/comprofiler/tn";
$link_gallery = "<img src ="$mosConfig_live_site/images/comprofiler/";

[Code]....

This php script displays the top 20 users from a database based on their hit count. The script passes their avatar (image), username and link, as well as total hits.

I wanted to create a flash file with one movieclip that would parse the php file and display the results in an i++ fashion, so that I could make changes to only one mc instead of 20, when needed.

I have tried making a dynamic text field an mc, and assigning the loadvars object to that mc... but can't get any information to display... and I know the php file works like a charm.

IDE :: Passing Variables Between SWF Files?

May 21, 2009

I have a flash file that I made that displays a scrolling newsfeed (I'll call it newsfeed.swf)... I published it to an SWF. Now, I created a new flash file that I would like to use to show many instances of newsfeed.swf. In my new flash file, I have the following code:

this.onLoad=function(){
mcNewsfeed.loadMovie(http://www.whatever.com/newsfeed.swf?s=MSFT);
}

In theory, when newsfeed.swf starts up, the ?s=MSFT variable should be passed in at the _root level such that I should be able to reference it and build the newsfeed to be displayed dynamically. I've tried several different things, but no matter what I do, the following code (the _root.s part) in newsfeed.swf returns "undefined":

newsfeedURL = "http://finance.yahoo.com/rss/headline?s=" + _root.s

I would prefer to not have to pass XML files between the swf files or use system objects as that would add a level of complexity I'm not ready to deal with (I'm a total noob at this stuff)...

So, I read the tutorial about passing variables by changing the url of the .swf with the following code:

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=="") {
