View 1 Replieshow to refresh the dynamic varaibles using the loadVariables command?
At the moment they are caching on the web - but it works the way i want it when tested in Flash.
it has many different sections(15 or so). Now i have made the movie and created all the checkboxes needed in the form.
I have given each one an instance name - e.g. chk_individualtax1
Made a global variable for each checkbox to get the .selected value - e.g. _global.individualtax1 = chk_individualtax1.selected;
At the end of the movie I have put a trace command to check that the variables are working( because they are on different timeline levels)- e.g. trace(individualtax1);
Now my problem comes here because now I am trying to send these variables off to the server using the getURL command. - e.g. getURL("send.php", "_blank", "POST");
This works and the email is sent off to me via php. however only the variables on the main timeline are sent? is there a difference in fetching global variables off different levels of the timeline Now should I rather be using the loadVariables command and if so how?
I have an email form in a flash file. Currently I am using the send variables coding as for whatever reason, it doesn't function if I use loadvariables:Here's what I have set up on my submit button:
on(release)
{
if(form.name == "" || form.phone == "" || form.email == "" || form.message == "")
[code].....
I would like to know if it's possible todo something like this:loadVariables("script.php?id=<? echo "id"; ?>",0,"POST"); // the echo thing is nonsense I know, but is it possible to paste the $id, that I'm trying to pass to the external script, from my adressbar (browser)?
View 2 RepliesI am tying to find a way to refresh variables with new data. I am using PHP and MySQL to randomly assign new data to a variable when the script is called. This new data is passed to Flash as in a variable using these functions:
varReceiver = new LoadVars();
varReceiver.load("iat_config.php");
varReceiver.onLoad = function(success){
[code]....
So my problem is that every time I call my movie to go to this frame that contains this actionscript, it does not provide me with new variables. Another important variable I need to change every time the frame occurs is startTime = getTimer(); However, the variable startTime will stay they same and not change when the frame is recalled.
I'm using swfObject to load my flash. I need to call a function or pass new variables into the flash file without it reloading. The user clicks on a button and the flash text needs to change. I have it working but it reloads the flash file and looks very choppy.
View 1 RepliesI have created a little virtual shop that reads the amount of money a player has and then enables different products to be bought. Eg - if someone has 200 points they can buy a ball for 20 or a bat for 200. This all works fine for one purchase. All of the items check the score and are enabled or disabled fine. However, say I purchase the ball - the points reduces by 20 to 180 - not a problem - but the bat is still enabled even though the variable has reduced so they can't afford it.Is there a way of refreshing the variable so that the items are constantly monitoring the variable amounts?[code]I put it in an mc so that if they buy the item it goes to a different frame where there is no mc to check the myscore var and therefore they've bought it!
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to design an interface that to simplify the construction of a string. Here's an example: My output (using the getURL command) needs to be in the form of: http:[url].....
I'm able to define variables for x, y, and z, however I am unable to figure out how to substitute the defined values for those variables into the string when it is time to send it.
What's the command for choosing the biggest value out of for ex. 5 variables? Math.max(); can only take 2 values.

How to refresh a Dynamic textfield?
i am trying to refresh a textfield ..withinin single frame..
I know It would refresh by giving gotoandstop(frame) command, since the textfield object is derived from AS3 class i can't no longer use the gotoandstop behavior to trick textfield refresh.
With out getting into a ton of background I am wondering if there is a command that will reset all the variables in a swf at once with out having to do them individually?
I've googled and searched my books and can't find anything. Another option I could see is having the current flash reload, that would set everything back to the start but I couldn't find how to do that either.
Anyone know?
I'm currently using a scrollbar that I got here at Kirupa. I have my site set up with with 6 different navigation buttons, each button should load a new text file. To do this, I have a movie-clip with 6 frames in it. Each frame has this scrollbar on it and will load the correct text file depending on which button you click in the navigation. Everything works fine, except the scrollbar won't refresh itself for each different text file that loads. The scrollbar loads when the site loads, and then stays the same every time a new text file is loaded.
how to make the scrollbar refresh each time a new text file is loaded? I've attached my FLA in a zip file. Here is the scrollbar I used from Kirupa: [URL] Also, here is a test version of the site: http://www.bleedmedia.com/edrose2/index2.html And here is the actionscript used for the scrollbars:

I created a flash that's loading dynamic text from an external txt file. It's ON AIR flash that you can see on top right on [URL]
Now the thing is that I WANT THIS TXT CONTENT TO REFRESH AUTOMATICALLY... because I am actually loading txt file that's getting updated every few minutes, but flash content does not update, so the visitor must refresh page on go to some other page so the content will change again.
How do I make this work so that dynamic text in flash change whenever external txt file content change, without refreshing or changing the page.

View 1 RepliesI had an issue with my index.html testing on IE and the preloader just stalls on "loading 0%". he told me that locally the progress event doesn't have time to load and to try uploading it to your server and see if it works. It worked just fine. Rah Rah Kglad.
So today I'm fine tuning the swf/ fla to clean it up. Reduced some picture sizes and deleted unused files and reduced the swf from 4000 KB to 350 KB Rah Rah Gene. replaced the swf in Dreamweaver and re-uploaded with Filezilla. Rah ah Filezilla.
Everything working great and my preload went from 23 seconds to less than 3. So I'm real happy except for one small issue. Firefox and IE both do this. If I hit the refresh button, it stalls on "loading 0%" once again just like it did locally.
If I hit the refresh several times it WILL refresh randomly....2 times refresh......10 times refresh etc.

View 2 Repliespicture: [URL].. I am making a boardgame in flash Action Script 3 each position on the board is a buttons like this: button_1_1, button_1_2 etc. Whenever a character is selected you want to move it so the script has to add event listeners for positions around the selected unit
[Code]...
In the rest of the code I have:
function userClickedPosition(position_x:int, position_y:int) it selects or deselect a unit function selectUnit(position_x:int, position_y:int):it uses the listentoButton(1) function to add 8 listeners (the positions around the clicked unit)function deselectUnit(position_x:int, position_y:int): it uses the listentoButton(0) function to delete 8 listeners (the positions around the clicked unit)
My question: adding eventlisteners is no problem but removing them dont seem to work? What did I do wrong?
I'm using the dynamic text scroller from [URL] found at [URL] Here's a link to my zipped files too... [URL]
1) I can't figure out how to have URL links in the text that loads.
2) How can I make the scroller refresh to allow for new text in the dynamic text area. The content changes alright, but the scroller stays in the same position and if it wasn't needed initially, the scroller disappears and doesn't return on new text.
Ok, not sure where my other thread is, unless it needs to be manually approved by the moderators? If so, then my bad for making a 2nd thread.It doesn't exactly work... well when I use preview in CS4, it doesn't give any errors about not finding the file on the URL, I tested a fake URL to see if it would give an error and it did. So it is accessing the file perfectly. The chmod is set to 0777 on the settings.txt file.I don't understand why it's not "working" - all I need to do is view the flash file on site1.com - where the actual flash file is hosted on site2.com - I figured that it wasn't working before was because it was loading the settings.txt file from telltarget("..") - so viewing it on site1.com was searching for settings.txt on site1.com (I think???)That's why I need to get the loadVariables() working with a url so that when I view site1.com with the embedded flash file, that it will show it correctly.
