just wondering if there is a way to reset the LoadVars() success variable to false or undefined. i need to do this b/c i'm repeatedly fetching data from a asp file using the same LoadVars() Obj to store the data sent from the asp page.
View 6 RepliesI've been working with LoadVars a lot recently and like it very much so. However, I have encountered a new problem. I have this array that already works in my Flash project:
[Code]....
I try to get a variable from php : I have a button with :
on (release) {
$myLoadVars = new LoadVars();
$myLoadVars_received = new LoadVars();
$myLoadVars.var_to_php = myComboBox.getSelectedItem().label;
$myLoadVars.sendAndLoad ( "script.php",$myLoadVars_received);
$affich_var = $envelope_received.var_from_php; }
PHP //
script.php :
<? $result = mysql_query( "select counter from data_base where data1='".$_POST['var_to_php']."'");
$counter = mysql_fetch_row($result);
echo ("&var_from_php=$counter[0]");
?>
My result of all this : nothing happens. no variable is received from php. (The is no request ( from the firewall ) from flash to access the internet). So I think the error is around the sendandload. By the way, the php script works perfectly with loadVariablesNum.
I am using loadVars to get strings from a text file and then I loop it to put them all in an array. But as indicated in the code, I want to check the variable name so a certain named variable will be put into a different variable, not the array. I have not been able to find how to check this...everything I try gives me undefined.
ActionScript Code:
myVars.onLoad = function(success) {
if (success) {
[code].....
Can I bring in a variable (saved in a text file) using LoadVars and then make that variable accessible from anywhere in the script (i.e. make the variable a global)?
View 1 RepliesI have 2 buttons that will call upon a timelineMax function that has a yoyo property, and I want it to play every time any of the 2 buttons are clicked, here's my code:
Buttons:
ActionScript Code:
Button1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, action);
Button2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, action);

The problem I have is with the "repeat:1", because the function repeats itself so that the text appears and disappears, but in doing so it only allows the function to be used once.
Let's say I'd like to post some data to a server side script. If my data is
var data:String = "<data><tag1>hi</tag1></data>";
and I'd like to send it with LoadVars, I can do:
var lv:LoadVars = new LoadVars()
lv.data = data;
lv.sendAndLoad("http://thescript/", lv, "POST");
However, this results in the POST looking like this:
data=<data><tag1>hi</tag1></data>
if I want to send it without the variable name (no "data=", just the actual data), how is this possible? In AS3 I can just use the .data property of a URLRequest and it will work, however I can't find a way to do this in AS2.

I have an input field with the var name "chosenloc" in the same scope as the timeline I'm working in. I've set the input field var in code, on the fly, and by entering a number right into the field.
ive upgraded my publish settings from AS2.0 to AS3.0 and all of a sudden my scripts doesnt work. im getting the following error.
Error #1065: Variable LoadVars is not defined.
the only piece of code where i discovered LoadVers(); is this, but what needs to be changed?
var description_lv = new LoadVars();
description_lv.onData = function(raw_text){
description_txt.text = raw_text;
}
You will find enclosed a ".zip" file in wich there's a ".fla" file, a ".txt" file and 6 ".jpg" images. Frame 1 of the FLA only has a "Preload" class/constructor found on another site and works well. Frame 2 launches the graphic interface construction. The file "externalVar.txt" has one variable "maxVin" with a value of 6.
I would like to know WHY i can't acces this variable from outside of the loadVars object's scope (i would better say from outside of its ".onLoad" methode scope). In fact, when i trace my variable "maxVinNum" from outside of this function, flash player return "undefined". Even if i declare "maxVinNum" on the _root (_root.maxVinNum). For information, at the start of frame 2, i have let an instruction in comment: //var maxVinNum = 6; When we activate this instruction, then the variable is directely declared and everything works well. This test allow us to verify that scripts are not bugged. Here is the script of frame 2, some of you may understand quickly what's wrong :

For the life of me, I've tried everything: I've researched LoadVars on Adobe forum, used David Powers' books, googled 'flash to php', LoadVars, etc. and tried sendAndLoad, send, and using $_POST, $_GET, $_REQUEST. $HTTP_POSTVARS but I keep getting this same error.
I have a Unix server running Apache/PHP 4 - LoadVars worked to load name-value pairs into an array -see thread)

I would like to send data from PHP to Flash however, it sends just fine but when displaying on Flash, it does not display the contents in the variable. Instead, it displays the name of the variable. This may be a simple answer but I'm quite new to this. Here is the code in Flash.

I know how to pass vars from php to flash and from flash to a "new" php page but here is my question.
I have a php page (page1.php) with some HTML and a php variable called $number. page1.php also has an embedded test.swf movie. While working with the test.swf movie, I want to send data back to the $number var on the page1.php without reloading the page1.php because then it would reload the test.swf movie.
I have been able to use javascript to change background colors on page1.php from within the test.swf movie but cannot figure out how to set a php variable from within the test.swf movie.
Is this a valid way to completely clean up a variable/object event listener (code abbreviated for sake of example):
Code:
private var _timing:Timing;

I'm converting an old AS2 file into AS3 (and trying to learn AS3 at the same time).A movie clip contains a number of different animated sequences and buttons within the application trigger these different sequences.The buttons are functional only when an animation has completed playing.
In AS2, I achieved this with a var called _root.animating which was initially set to "false" and switched to true when the animation played and switched back to false at the end of the anim sequence. The buttons checked this var when clicked. Here is some of the AS2.[code]...
I have 3 swfs, and let's label them MovieA, MovieB, and MovieC. MovieB is a child of MovieA, and MovieC is a child of MovieB. So the hierarchy goes like this: MovieA -> MovieB -> MovieC. Each of these movies have their own document class, so they are each essentially a class extending MovieClip.
Now I have this other external class which contains only static variables. Let's call this class "TestClass" and let's say one of its static variables is called "testVar". So in MovieB's document class, I imported TestClass and set testVar = "hello world". In MovieC's document class, I imported TestClass and traced TestClass.testVar. When I publish and run MovieB, testVar is successfully traced as "hello world". Now when I publish and run MovieA, testVar is traced as undefined.
One of the moderators, could you've a look at this tutorial: [URL] it doesn't works with me, maybe because I've 2004 so if you change loadVars() into LoadVars() it should work
View 2 RepliesJust new in forum and just new in as3 programming. All i want to do is to make some physics simulations (i'm physics teacher...). So i made my first sim with the following code, just to simulate a simple motion with constant velocity. It works ok, except the part i need to reset the display by the means to start the motion all over again (reset button). Then the motion starts but the traces of the previous motion remains on stage. I tried the null command (sp=null) but the sim could not start again because the sp nedded to be non-null...

I have an issue with adding a reset button to my drag and drop movie clips.The problem is, if a student drags a movie clip to a wrong location on the SWF file I want them to be able to hit a reset button that would take them the same SWF that they opened and what would showup would a clear page for them to restart their drag and drop exercise.I know how to make the button for this just want the proper action script to be able for user to start over with no movie clip symbols on the page.

View 3 RepliesIs there a way of making a normal loadVars.load load a url depending on a variable you set in the swf?
var reciever = new LoadVars();
loadurl = "test_onload_3.cfm?propertyID="+MY_VARIABLE_GOES_HERE;
reciever.load(loadurl);
so that I can set my variable and then load the variables with the propertyID that I choose in the swf??
I'm writing an audio recorder in AS3.In AS2, when I loaded up the swf object, the "Camera and Microphone Access" window would pop up immediately. ("Requesting access to your camera and microphone .. allow").However, in AS3, it still works, but there is a noticeable 2-3 second delay before that window pops up.

I've had great success with loadMovie and loadMovieNum, but occasionally I see something in the posts about attachMovie. Is there a difference between attach and load, or is one left over from a previous verion of Flash?
