I've been searching everywhere and I can't find a solution. I use swfobject and flashvars and whenever I use flashvars the dynamic text color won't change. If I put my variable inside the fla timeline, the text color changesHere is my setRGB code:
Code:
var c:Color = new Color(button4.txt);
c.setRGB(0xffffff);
[code]....
I went through many articles and tutorials and I can't get the FlashVars working.
I'm using the SWFObject to insert the Flash movie into HTML:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" lang="en" xml:lang="en">

But the aname variable doesn't exists in the Flash. Even if I loop through all the param values, there is nothing. I tried to add the "aname" into query and it's working. But I really want and need to use FlashVars.
The full source is available here: [URL]
I created a flash menu that highlight the current page button reading a variable coming from HTML. I've set a variable in the OBJECT and EMBED tag using the query string syntax, but I get identical results using flashvars. This menu is working perfectly in firefox, but it doesn't in opera or IE 6. In opera it only works if all buttons are vector objects (?!?!?!?):it doen't work if I import a PNG in the buttons. I've put an IF statement (I already tried to use the SWITCH statement with same results) on the very first frame in the menu movie.

i have a file named: 394354.html. In it is the following code:
codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/s...ersion=9,0,0,0" width="900" height="900" id="LoaderExample" align="middle">
<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" />
<param name="allowFullScreen" value="false" />

That is part of the source in the LoaderExample.swf. And all I get is a "Parameter text must be non-null" error. I've alternatively tried the FlashVars method using additional <param> and <object> tags but i get the same error. What is going on with Actionscript 3? is this a bug? What am I doing wrong? Do the 5 or 6 tutorials i've read leave some important detail out ?
I've followed about 10 different tutorials to access FlashVars including this one ([URL]) and nothing is working for me. Here is my as3 code:

I created a same script of calling my flashvars in actionscript 3. But when I tried to display my flashvar in actionscript 2, its not working. I did the same thing in calling and embedding the swf. But it's displaying undefined..

import flash.external.ExternalInterface;
import flash.events.Event;
var xmlFilePath:String;

var keyStr:String;

I was just trying to display the value of the flashvar. I tested it in the browser but it's still not working.
I have a flex app that I need to pass FlashVars into. It works great on desktop browsers(chrome, firefox, ie) but for some reason the flashvar is always undefined when i load it on my Android browser(webkit on a droid incredible).
Has anyone successfully passed flashvars into a swf on an Android Device?
I have a problem with flashvars , when I read the url from browser if I have assigned just numbers to Id (my paramter in url) ,everything works fine, but if my id includes character, then it does not work , I don't want to change anything in flash side in mxml files, I want to do it with javascript
here is my code

i have a for loop to attach a movieclip X times, and an Array with several color codes to apply in the loop.everything works fine with the setRGB. the movies have an internal background movieclip that gets the color i want to apply.
the thing is the movieclip's loose the animation i created to that internal movie (the one who get's the color). they do not respond to gotoAndPlay, or gotoAndStop...i disabled the setRGB lines, and the movie's play fine now. does setRGB transform my movieclips to a bitmap or something? disabling every animation inside?
Is it possible to use setRGB inside a btn?I have a buttom that has a textfield and a background.I want to change only the color of the textfield!here is the code i`m using:

var btn = _root.A["btnA0"+i];

I am using the most up to date version of SWFobject.When i use a simple rollOver and out state on my mc's .. I have been using setRGB to change the colour depicting the state.However since installing SWFobject - This setRGB property refuses to work.
Code:
t.onRollOver = function()
{
col = new Color(this);[code]....
is how im doing it in flash - simple - but why is SWFO disabling it? .. is it something to do with the parameters?
I am trying to set up a dynamic flash movie so i can set the color of text with a dropshadow applied using setRGB.
Here is the code i am using to set the text color (simple setRGB call):
var my_color:Color = new Color(this.tagLine_txt);
my_color.setRGB(tagLineColor);
Now here is the problem, setRGB automatically makes my dropshadow color the same as the fill color. The only solution i have found is to stack two identical text boxes on top of one another and then setting the dropshadow on the text behind to black to make it look proper.
I have tried using filter to set the dropshadow color as well with no luck:
// Makes the filter available to use in the Movie.
import flash.filters.DropShadowFilter;
// Creates a variable with info about the Filter settings
[Code]....
Code:
onClipEvent(load){
_global.tinta=0xFF0000;
tintb=0xFF0000;
box = new Color("_root.boxy"); //This instance is named "boxy"
} onClipEvent(enterFrame) {
box.setRGB(tintb); //Turns it red
}
This works and makes the box red. However, if I change it so it's "box.setRGB(_global.tinta)", it turns it black. Even setting "tintb=_global.tinta" and using the "box.setRGB(tintb)" doesn't work any more. Why doesn't setRGB() like _global variables?
I was wondering if there is a way to set the opacity of an object similar to the .setRGB thing..
View 14 RepliesSee, I have a Symbol- in's an animation of a "Cycler" (bicycle driver) seen from above and I want to use a function to duplicate it with actionscript as needed.
So far so good, has been done before.
But in this Symbol I have "sub-Symbols" on the timeline (within the Cycler's animation)... how would I do it to use a setRGB on one of them for each duplicated driver individually? The way I tried it now (see attached files) makes the animation stop for the sub-Symbols I use setRGB on (in my example the shirt of the left Cycler and the helmet of the right Cycler).
Why does the animation stop? I had a similar problem before and I solved it by coloring a fixed simple square on a layer and the animation for the motion was really a mask, ontop of it... but why doesn't it work like this?
Feel free to test is yourself- I am open to suggestions. The Cyclers are called "Biker_1" and "Biker_2" and the sub-Symbols are called "Helm", "Koerper" and "Rumpf", for the Helmet, the Body and the "Rump" of the Cycler.
What is the equivalent alpha code to setRGB?Ps Im trying to change this code so it contorls the alpha of a movie clip instance name circle the code is bellow:
Code:
onClipEvent(enterFrame){
_parent.alpha = (_parent.RedSlider.RedControlBar._y+122).toString(16);
if (length(_parent.alpha) == 1)
_parent.alpha = "0" + _parent.alpha;

I need to convert an integer value to hex to use with the setRGB thingy. (I want a slide bar that controls the colour of a movie clip) I know that you can use parseInt to get an integer from a hex value but how do you do the opposite?
View 3 RepliesIve got a button with black text that text fades blue on(rollOver) & I also have this script attached to the button.
on(press) {
myColor = new Color(this.servicesTxt);
myColor.setRGB(0x990000);

Although the .setRGB turns the button text back to black the button text doesnt fade to blue.How do I remove the .setRGB(0x990000); on (release)?

I'm trying to figure out how to use FlashVars in ActionScript 3.0. I'm familiar with _root in AS2 but I've learned it doesn't work in 3.0. I've played around with LoaderInfo that I know should do the trick but I can't seem to get it to work. And I can't seem to find any help in any of the many threads and forums I've visited today.
So I'm putting my trust in you guys. I want my button ("button2") to open a link in another frame ("rightFrame") through a FlashVar. I'm quite new to flash and after much banging my head in the wall this is what I've come up with (obviously the _root doesn't work but if replaced by a hard coded url with http:// it works like a charm):

View 5 RepliesI used almost two weeks to search the Web how to pass some variable/parameter/Flashvar from one swf to another.I have a main swf file, let's call it "main.swf" and here in AS3 I'll call "comonent.swf" with some parameters.All this is easy if I call the component.swf from HTML, but I have to call it from another swf file.[code]My problem is that this doesn't work of course - the method in "getSwfParam" is only tuned to get the parameters if it's coming from the URL string from the HTML page. I can't use "component.swf?age=23" in my call from the main.swf, because it'll confuse AS3 to think that the wole string.IS THE flash file.I tried localconnection and sharedobject too, but I just can't get the sender and receiver part to work together.I only need to send some short codes to my component.swf to tell what it should do.Now I begin to question if it is possible it was in AS2, but now the _root is gone and everything got so d.
View 6 RepliesI am loading a child swf inside a parent swf, and need to pass variables from the parent into the child. I don't have control over the source code of the child, so I can't have the child pull data from the parent; the data needs to be passed to the child swf in a standard fashion, so that the child works just as if it were embedded in a page using flashvars.I've tried passing variables to the child as parameters on the URL:
var ldr:Loader = new Loader(); var urlReq:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://mysite.com/child.swf?var1=aaa&var2=bbb"); ldr.load(urlReq); addChild(ldr);
This seems to work ok, but apparently Internet Explorer doesn't allow URLs longer than 2083 characters [URL]. I need to pass a fairly long string of parameters to the child which will likely exceed 2083 characters. So I'm trying to avoid passing the parameters directly on the URL, and wondering if there is any other way to populate the child swf with the variables that it will expect. Is there any other way of passing flashvars to a swf-in-swf?
I have a task where a user fills in a form and uploads a photo. As a result a HTML page is generated that pass the form data to SWF file using FlashVars.
What i want is that the SWF movie loads the uploaded image and show that at frame no. 400 till 1000
I want to know what steps I have to take and what Code i have to write in order to achieve what I want.
In my application I often call to different web services, and because I don't want to hardcode urls to them in my code, I am passing urls to the services as flashvars.Currently I am doing it this way:
public var siteUrl:String;
public var gameId:String;
public function main():void[code]....
Where main is a function, which is called on application's creation complete event.This way I can call both variables from main file of the application but I want to access them from other files. (other as classes).So is there a way to create class with constants and init values there with flashvars so I can use them everywhere (after importing of course)
I have a Flash applet which I want to embed in a Flex file this loads a panorama file inside a SWF player (Immervision's PurePlayer)-[code]...
