View 3 Replieshey, im just wondering for the best way to read variables of a .php page into flash
the page output looks like this array[0,0]=1&array[0,1]=3&....
i tried load(http://urlhere); but that dident work =p
then i tried
Code:
myVars = new LoadVars();
myVars.load("http://xev.mine.nu/nyheter/news.php?search=des","0");
myVars.onLoad = function() {
[code]....
the real problem is, i guess that i need it to read in the variable array[0,0]=1
just like that and not use sumthingrather=(myVars.varname)
because there will be a hell of alot of variables , and the variable ammounts will switch and i cant do a sumthingrather=(myVars.varname)for all of em

use loadVars to read variables from .txt files on a different server with flash, do any of you know because I'm getting really annoyed?
View 14 RepliesI need to use the movie's predefined framerate (not it's real time performance FPS, but just the number it was designated to run at) as well as the movie's width and height, using AS2. Is this possible? I can't seem to find what object I should be examining for this information. [EDIT] I see that Stage has width and height but nothing about frame rate.

View 5 RepliesI am going to make a flash music player. I need it to be able to read variables from the PHP file that it's placed in. Example variables include: path to the MP3, length of the song, etc... These variables are stored in a MySQL database, not in XML files.
So how do I do this? Can you point me to a good tutorial?

View 4 RepliesI have a web based slide show that reads an xml file and loads images from a folder on the server. The client would now like to also offer this slideshow on a cd. I'm pretty sure that I can save all the assets to on the cd and the slideshow will work. But the client is concerned that someone with the cd will be able to directly access the images on the cd. So, here's my non-flash flash question, can the folder storing the images on the cd be hidden yet still be read by the flash movie?

View 6 RepliesI used a movieClip to store the attach movieclip, but How to get back the variable from that movieClip container, such as a I set a array in the exiting movieClip
var m_click:Array = new Array();

I want the attached movieClip "y_qty" with a button inside to get the m_click for changing each m_click[0]..m_click[1]..value, how to do it?
I have these movies already existing in my actionscript code: inner_mc AND gallery_mc.So - I attach my library movie clip: called "link_box", and name it link_box0 and so on through the loop.
-->
for (i=0; i<numimages; i++) {
inner_mc.gallery_mc.attachMovie("link_box", "link_box"+i, i);
Now I want to create a new movieclip called thumbnail0 and so on, to the newly attached movieclip.
This is my attempt: this.movieHolder = inner_mc.gallery_mc.link_box+i.createEmptyMovieClip("thumbnail"+1, i+1);
When i try:trace(this.movieHolder ) it says undefined for all times it loops through.
Whats the syntax to combine strings and variables so that the result is seen as an object name ?

I have written some code to read and compare variables and then to jump to a particular frame based on the results (pretty simple stuff). It works fine when I use a button to trigger the code but I want it to happen automatically.
I have tried using the OnEnterFrame thingy but it doesn't work and I tried just placing the code on frame 1 and letting it do its thang but that didn't work either....
I'm using the .swf in a third party program and using the API for that program to supply the values.
here is the code:
_parent.InitializeExternalVars();
var m_varStrEndSlide;
function display(){

View 1 RepliesI am trying to create an interactive flash that users will be able to manipulate certain events in the game. I was was wondering if it was possible to1. Make objects appear or disappear in a frame if a variable is set to a particular number.n example being a window, if you click on it, it opens and closes if clicked on again. If you open the window and go to a different frame, is there a way to make it be open when you go back? 2. Determine the next frame. An example being a door, if the variable is 1 then the door would open when clicked, to the next frame. If it is 0 then it would tell you you need a key or such.I wrapped my head around creating variables and manipulating variables using basic functions.The only thing I am having problems with is if there is an "if"chieve these two tasks.Edit: Figured out number 2:'blueButton' is the variable, when pressed it changes its stored number by two. I linked it to another button which this code is attached to...
PHP Code:
on (release) {
if (_root.blueButton == 2) {

I am trying to create a flash movie that takes variables from the address bar of the page in which it is contained, and then displays the results.If possible I would like to use PHP in conjunction with flash to achieve this.
View 1 RepliesI have a flash8 object embedded in a VB.net form. I use GetVariable and SetVariable from VB to get and set variables in the flash movie. This works great until you try to do a GetVariable on a variable in the movie that hasn't been defined. I would expect it to return 'undefined' or 'null', but instead my VB app becomes stuck, seemingly waiting for the GetVariable response... I tried to do a TypeOf check to see if a null is returned, but no luck with that either.

I'm having trouble with this previous posted tutorial. I followed the instructions step by step but it just didn't work for me.In the PHP Script I replaced this line:
$Email = $_POST['email'];
With this line:
$Email = "my@email.com";
So I know the problem isn't there. I have recorded 1min.11sec screen shot video of exactly what I did.Click her for the screenshot Part 2: Sending variables from a Flash Movie to a PHP script, and then using that PHP script to send an e-mail.
When you click on a link, it takes you (_self) to an "in-between" page that contains another Flash movie (that tells customer to be sure to come back to our page in the future). This Flash movie is coded so that it automatically opens a new window (_blank) to a different site. Then, HERE IS WHERE I HAVE MY PROBLEM, the original page (which is now hidden behind the new window) redirects you (_self) back to the homepage. SOOOO, when your on the new window, you can hear the lady's voice in the background.
NOW, what I want to do is to pass a variable so that, when you get redirected back to the homepage, it skips the lady speaking and goes directly to the looping slideshow.For example, "if F=1, gotoAndPlay(346);"I know that's not proper actionscript, I'm just saying what I have in mind.I've never passed variables before, so the more detailed the better.Note: I am using Flash CS3 and Dreamweaver CS3 (.asp)
