Is there anyway to set a javascript variable from AS3? At the moment I have the following:
public function onBWDone(... rest):void{
var bw_event:Event = new Event(Client.bandwidth_event);
if (rest[0] > 0){
ExternalTrace.alert("Your bandwidth is: " + rest[0]);
var jscommand:String = "var bandwidth2 = " + rest[0];
p_bw = rest[0];
this.dispatchEvent(bw_event);
}}
I was wondering if I can use the jscommand to do this?
I'm trying to pass the contents of variable playnoyes to the long line of code below to decide whether or not to autoplay the flash movie, but doing it as I have below, the resultant line of code has the variable in quotes and therefore the code doesn't execute it as expected. My question is, how can I pass the variable so that the resulting line of code doesn't have the quotes around the variable value.
var playnoyes='true';

I have an HTML button that I need to dynamically assign to an AS3 variable when clicked (in order to load an .mp3). I am using externalInterface.call to collect javascript variables - I am just unsure how to change these dynamically when a button is clicked.

View 3 RepliesI'm creating a quiz and as a timer in the quiz I have a flash movie (an animated clock). I poll the clock every second to see if the time for the quiz has run out.

First of all, it just fetches the flash movie object, and then calls some mehtods on the object. This works fine in Firefox (pc & mac), Safari (mac) but in IE8 on pc it returns 'unexpected error on line 3' (or any other line that uses the flashMovie object

Imagine I had a variable called X.Let's say every 5 seconds I wanted to make X = true. (it could be either true or false in between these 5 seconds, but gets reset to true when the 5 seconds are up).
Would it be more efficient to check if the value is already true, then if not, reassign it to true? Or just have X = true?in other words, which would run faster?
if(x==false){
x = true;
}
vs
x = true;
On one hand, the first program won't mutate the variable if it doesn't have to. On the other hand, the second program doesn't need to check what X is equal to; it dives straight in.

I know this might have been discussed somewhere else, but I couldn't find it where it worked using a variable as the url. So I have tried a few things but what I have right now is:
the button is set to: getURL("javascript:openNewWindow(movie,'thewin','h eight=400,width=400,toolbar=no,scrollbars=yes') ");
Movie being the name of the variable set up earlier in the project to randomly choose my swf movie that I want to play. Then of course I have the function set up in the HTML page to listen for the variables for the URL, name and windowsettings.I can get the whole thing to work with an HTML page in the URL, but I can't get a variable to work....
Anyone know how to grab the values from a running AS3 file and put them into a javascript function on the html page?I know how to initiate js functions with the ExternalInterface but not sure how to push a variable out.What i am using this for is an MP3 player that i developed.

View 4 RepliesI've been trying to communicate flash and javascript some time now, but I can't get Javascript to send variables to flash, just the other way around. When the .swf is done loading, it succesfully triggers the "isReady" function in Javascript, but when i try to trigger the "sendToFlash" function in Flash(via javascript), nothing happens.
"thisMovie("myID").sendToFlash(toFlash);" this is the code I can't get to work, as you see I tried these to as well;
document.getElementById("myID").sendToFlash(toFlas h);
document["myID"].sendToFlash(toFlash);
nothing triggers the code.

Code:
<script type="text/javascript" src="swfobject.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
var isIE = (navigator.appVersion.indexOf("MSIE") != -1) ? true : false;

just a quickie - im sure this is possible but for some reason its not working, - can you put variables within javascript calls, ie
getURL("javascript:swffit.fit('my_flash',1024,(700 +_root.imageHeight));");
where _root.imageHeight is a variable within flash
anyone know where i may be going wrong?
I'd like to enable the user to enter several parameters within the flash plugin. These influence the flash movie. The flash file itself works perfectly fine. But now I also want to access and process these parameters on a Javascript function.
I tried the external.Interface and navigatetoURL method but couldnt achieve the required result. (The 'link' between flash and javascript doesn't seem to work...)
So how / which is the best way to transfer parameters from AS3 to Javascript on the server ?
My goal is to pass a variable from JavaScript to ActionScript in my swf file. I am using Flash CS3 and AS3. Currently all I want is my test to work where I mouseover a text link and a function is called with a passed variable in my swf file.
Here is my code:
// test.html - Cropped out the excess code
<html><head>
<script type="text/javascript">
function myMovie(movieName) {
[Code] .....
ExternalInterface.addCallback("sendToActionScript",fromJS); only once, or inside of my function onEnterFrame(event:Event) loop? I tried both, but since I can't get it to work I don't know which one is the proper one.
The following bit of javascript writes and retrieves a cookie which counts a users visits to the page. Then using swfobject it both embeds main_banner.swf and passes the cookie value "visits" to it via flashvars. The trouble is in the actionscript below; the vallue has been passed (this is certain, because the .swf shows up rather than the alternative content)- but the .swf is stuck on the first frame rather than processing the cookie and sending the user to the appropriate frame label.

I have several variables which i use to call flash movie, but i dont want to include that on document.ready because first i need one variable from jquery ajax response.
var flashvars = {
"debug.enabled":"true",
"background": "#000",
"uploadUrl": "UploadImage.ashx?id=" + var_from_ajax}
I have defined var_from_ajax outside document.ready.
My Ajax success function is
success: function(data) { var_from_ajax = data.id; swfobject.embedSWF("movie.swf", "divID", "600", "400", "10.0.0", "expressInstall.swf", flashvars, params, attributes);}

I have a simple thing to do, change a value in Javascript from flash.My issue ? I suck in coding ^^Here is the details : In Javascript I have a function named ShowPage ().I want my flash to say ShowPage(2) for example.I know we can do that with ExternalInterface really simply.I know that part of the code :
Code:
import flash.external.ExternalInterface
on (press) {
ExternalInterface.call("ShowPage", " ");
}
I know I have to call the function in the first " " but where can i put the value ? Where do I set my ShowPage to 2 ? With which correct syntax ?

I have a sliding, drop down menu sidebar thingy. The user clicks a button and my slick little eye candy flash movie has a secondary navigation list slide down while any buttons underneath slide down as well. Then when you click on another button it slides back up and the new button's secondary nav slides down. nuff said.what I would like to have happen is that when a user clicks on a secondary nav button and a new html page loads, I would like it to appear that the secondary nav slider has stayed down on the newly loaded html page.this means passing some kind of variable to my flash movie so that it can tell which page the user is on and react (go to a particular frame)

View 1 RepliesBasically I want Javascript to pass a variable to Flash according to resolution. I realize my syntax might be off, but something like:

Trouble is, I'm not sure what to do from here. I don't know exactly what I need to put in the <param> and <embed> tags, and how Flash would detect if the variable was true or not.
I have a flash SWF that passes a variable as a parameter to a javascript function in my HTML page. Somehow I need to put that value of that parameter into a global variable I can use outside the html javascript function that actually receives it from the SWF function that passes it. Ultimately I will store that value in a hidden form field in the HTML so I can reuse it elsewhere.
Using an alert box, I can see my desired variable data is being passed by the AS2 function but I can't figure out a way to access it from outside the javascript function. Here's a screen print of the alert and what I see when I try to reference it outside the function. Here is a link to a screen pic that demonstrates that
This is a code snippet that starts with the javascript function that receives the variable. YES, I know the"mailLink = str" is not valid. It just demonstrates how off the mark I am.

function callJavascript(str) {
