View 3 RepliesI have created a loading video that plays on top of the main FLV until it is done buffering and then disappears. This should be straight forward, however, it does not work for me.[code]...
View 17 RepliesI'm in a big distress, I'm using AS2 with CS3 (Flash 9.0 on OSX Snow Leopard) and I can't get the querystring. I don't understand it has always worked before with my previous version of Flash. I'm using this AS code: t_txt.text += _root.age; I have a dynamic text linked to t_txt. For the HTML I simply published using Flash, then I changed in the html file like this:
<param name="movie" value="age.swf?age=56" />
And
<embed src="age.swf?age=56" quality="high" etc >
When I set to use AS1 it just works fine. But I can't use AS1 all my projects are with AS2. So what's wrong?
The FLV I need to load is at a remote URL, but the server requires a ticket appended to the end in order to send the file over my way.so http[url]...........But if I try and send that into the source I get "No root node found; if url is for an flv it must have .flv extension and take no parameters"
View 5 RepliesI need to grab values from the querystring and inject them into a getURL(""); snippet that's in the on (release) {} for a button.So if the URL that contains the embedded swf is
[URL]
I'd like to get that otherdomain.com and inject it. Something like
var returnUrl = "";
// do magic querystring getting
getURL(returnUrl);
*Edit: I need to snag the querystring because I don't have access to the embed code. It's being rendered by a third party (Articulate) and loaded into a frame. I do have access to the code that renders the frame html, which is why I figured query string would be the best route, and one button that's used in the presentation.
Note, I live in C# land, not ActionScript land so I most likely butchered the syntax. I just need to get this button working as a one off and I'll probably never deal with it again.BTW, I've seen the abdulqabiz QueryString object that's floating around out there but it kind of seems like overkill, like there should be something baked into the framework for this. I also lack the knowledge of how to incorporate this into my little button on (release) {} event
How can I get querystring values from a bowser sting into my flash movie
For example the link is [URL]
The html page loads a flash movie, and I would like the flash movie to be able to access the variable name=John
Currently in Flash I am trying to pull in a value based on the querystring. Example..
[Code]...
This works in the main flash actionscript, but I need the querystring in a class constructor that I created. How can I pass the querystring to a separated out actionscript file?
This is driving me nuts... Based on my research I should be able to pass QueryString parameters directly to a swf object like so: [URL] In the mxml oncreationcomplete method I have tried the following:
[Code]....
I'm unclear on the proper format for passing a QueryString Value using FlashVars, this is what I'm trying <param name="FlashVars" value="part=<%= Request.QueryString["part"] %>" /> but this causes a parse/encode error and the swf doesnt load, same if I use single quotes ie <param name="FlashVars" value="part=<%= Request.QueryString['part'] %>" />
I've been working with this tutorial:[URL] Using AS1, I've been able to extract a variable from a SWF, e.g. the SWF has a querystring associated with it, in the HTML of the web page on which it is embedded:
Code:
<param name="movie" value="loaderInfoExample.swf?userName=TestUser" />
<embed src="loaderInfoExample.swf?userName=TestUser" ....
It's easy to get the variable into AS1 - it's just there, without doing anything. I've tried to do the same in AS2, but I can't get it to work, using Permadi's page. All I want to do is to get the value of the 'userName' var from the SWF Querystring, into a variable in the SWF. The example on the Permadi page didn't work - I may have been doing something very wrong of course.
I have a client that needs a flash intro that will be accessed through a link in an email campaign. When the user clicks the link in their email, it sends them to this flash intro, but also sends a querystring with it. I need the flash file (v5) to read the querystring, use it during the movie, and then pass it on to an asp page when the intro is done playing.What is the best method to do this?
View 9 RepliesI have this old project where I have to pass a querystring from one flash to another...
mc.onPress = function() {
whatURL = "index.html?id="+this.id+"&num="+this.num
getURL(whatURL, "_blank", "GET");
}
But when pressed, i get a querystring longer than my arm : [URL] and a whole lot of other variables and functions... i end up getting a Request-URI too large.How come I pass all these different variables to the query string when I just ask for 2?
I am having a flash application where I want to send parameters to it via the javascript from a defaul.aspx page. I have a parameter called Id where it can accept alphanumeric values. The query string in the url works fine if I enter just numbers for the Id, and takes me to the specific page related to that id , but if I enter a combination of numbers and characters like 001A , it does not work.
This is the code I used
<script type="text/javascript">
function getQueryVariable(variable) {
var query = window.location.search.substring(1);
var vars = query.split("&");
for (var i=0; i<vars.length; i++) {
[Code] .....
And then passed the flashvars into swfobject.embedSWF. I also don't want to change anything in my mxml files in flash side.

I need to call a REST web service that provides an XML feed of weather conditions. I have 13 cities for which conditions are needed, and only 3 nodes for each city are required (vs. the entire feed). My very basic first attempt is as follows:
[Code]...
First, how do I parse the 3 nodes, and ? Next, is there a way to pass a different querystring argument for each of the 13 cities? Finally, how would I add these values to an FLV that's been imported and placed on stage? The FLV displays a geographical area and pans from east to west plotting cities as it goes. At each city plot, the 3 node values need to be "superimposed" onto the FLV.
I want to have an swf load an image file in an image container within the swf from the querystring. 1. In the query string I'd like the extension of the image file to not show:
2. In the swf I might have more then one place where the same howdy.jpg loads, but in different sizes. Which method would keep the aspect ratio of original and resize to fit varying container sizes?
3. I have some javascript parsing code with an swf example that I got from this page. [URL] But when I tried to alter the fla for my use it didn't work. I wasn't able to find 1 line of actionscript in the query.fla.
I prepared a movie and put into my aspx page and there is a button on this movie which navigates to another aspx page. It has to use querystring information to decide which page to go.
-The page which i put my flash movie is : entry.aspx
-If the page is : entry.aspx?lang=tr : it will go to the turkish page on button click, (url : "mturkish.aspx")
-if the page is : entry.aspx?lang=en : it will go to the english page on button click, (url : "menglish.aspx")
I currently have something going that gets me a pretty accurate value inside a swf (one I have no control over), but I want even more precision
I know it will sometimes send out data about itself to other locations
In my game, I have to catch one item and not the other. I have used an external .as file to code it and it works fine on it's own, but when I add something before the game (a title screen) and something after the game (a 'game over' screen) and 'call' the external .as file to the frame with the actual game play, I receive the error:

why my code not workinghere is my as code

I have a pointer that follows the mouse movement only in determined angles. lets say the pointer can only follow the mouse when the mouse is moving below the pointer. (it rotates perfectly and smoothly to the left and right) but the thing is, lets say that the mouse is now above the pointer to the right, the pointer stays to the last permited right/down angle BUT if i go down with the mouse from the left, the pointer obviously will jump from facing right/down to facing left/down...what i would like is the pointer to make a nice transition/rotation to the inverse side...just what it does when moving the mouse from left to right, right to left (having the mouse below the pointer).

Is there a way to load a SWF by filename, but using a catch-all somewhat like the asterisk in an import statement is used?For example, I have an SWF called MyAnimation_v01.swf This file gets changed quite a bit, so everytime it gets changed, the "_v01" (version) gets incremented... i.e. MyAnimation_v02.swf, MyAnimation_v03.swf, MyAnimation_v04.swf, etc.Is there a way to load a SWF whose filename matches a certain set of values (MyAnimation_) and disregards the rest? So, instead of having to explicitly load "MyAnimation_v72.swf", something like "MyAnimation_ + * + .swf"?
View 7 Repliesi want to know how to catch mouse event on sprite.I have created a class which extends Sprite and then tried to catch mouse event on it. but not successful.so is it neccessary to draw something on it to catch events?
View 1 RepliesI would like to have one place to catch all errors thrown so that I can log them.
View 1 RepliesIt works flawlessly the other way round. I can dispatch an event in a class (extends sprite) and my main .fla does catch it. The other way round it doesn't. To transmit a number from my fla. to the class (added as child) I dispatch an event, but the class never receives it. What's wrong. Initially I wanted to dipatch the event in another class, but as far as I understood, the event would never be transmitted from the other class as events only communicate to their parents.
Hope my sketch helps a bit. Actually the image (uiloader) should transmit the loading progress directly, so the loading status bar could change its width. But as I couldn't get this to work, I started to dispatch another event from the main document which placed image and loading bar dynamically on the stage. How do I need to add the listener to the LoadingStatus.as, so that it can change the width by itself?[code]...
