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

View 1 RepliesI was wondering if anyone knows wether it's possible to create variables from text inside an inputText.Example -> if I put the text "bDead = false" inside an inputBox, and I press some button, the variable bDead is created and initialized with "false".I tried loadVariables with the box.text as a parameter, but I guess it expects a link to some file instead of a text...
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 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();
for (var f=0; f<=this[mc_name+"_qty"]._totalframes-1; f++)
{ m_click[f] = 0; }
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 can check if a certain speech has a bg change by simply doing this:

what should I compare in the case of sounds, I've tried many, like:

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 RepliesHow do variables true/false custom variables work in flash?
For example, what I want to do is create a simple true=false variable that I can call on an if statement later.
For example:
Code:
Var1 = true;
if (!Var1)
{

I noticed that neither the "Var1 = true;" part or the if(!Var1) part worked in flash.
A friend of mine has a Flash Action script running on a LAMP server that currently reads an xml config file. He's asked me if it's possible to remove the xml file, and replace it somehow with a system (lets call it an 'auto xml generator') that intercepts the request to read that file and generates an output, so it appears to all intents and purposes as if the file still exists and contains the contents that has actually been returned from our auto xml generator'

I have this XML that I need to read into flash. I want to display one of the temperatures in the xml. For instance, say I want to display the temperature for 'Sydney'... how would one go about doing that?
Here's the XML:
<CurrentTemps>
<City Name="Gosford" Temp="23.9" />
<City Name="Sydney" Temp="25.4" />
<City Name="Brisbane" Temp="23.4" />
<City Name="Adelaide" Temp="24.7" />
<City Name="Perth" Temp="21.3" />
<City Name="Melbourne" Temp="22.1" />
</CurrentTemps>
I'm looking for a simple, fast way to display just the temp that I desire, and not all of them.
I have a problem with reading the IP address of a computer through Flash. I know the easy way - by using a php script, but this can't help me for this reason - I've created an embeddable flash component, which is a voting poll. The php files and the flash movie are stored on my server, and an embed code is offered to place the component on other sites. So, I'm using loadVars to call a php file from the server and read the IP of the computer that's voting. The problem is, I think, that the php files are stored on my server, and they read its IP.

I wondered if anyone knew a workaround or trick that I could use to get text into google. I have a couple ideas but they're just ideas.
I would like to create an alternate page that is not flash, but a regular html page with all of the text I want google to read inside it. Somehow I use code to tell it that when a user clicks on the link, to redirect them to the flash webpage, but when a search engine sees it, to send the search engine/google to that regular html page, where it will gather all of the text and then that text will show up on google's page when you do a search and my site on google? Even if this was possible, would google frown upon this and ban me or something?
The other idea I have is to use invisible text at the bottom of my page. This will be regular html text that is the same color as my background. But I heard this can get you banned from search engines like google if you are using lots of keywords, but I wouldn't be using keywords. I'd be using the few sentences of content that their stupid crappy technology doesn't read, forcing me to bust my hump trying to find a workaround for. It sucks that google doesn't even use keywords in my metadata for rankings either. So I can't even use that with them.
