ActionScript 3.0 :: Avatar Creator - Passing Variable To Flash
Jul 25, 2011
I need to create an avatar creator, the concept is simple. We have a base image for a head, on top of this we layer on other elements (eyes, nose, mouth), saving it converts the image on the flash widget into a .jpg. I'm confident in my ability to create the interface, I have basic knowledge of AS 3 and flash in general, but I'm unsure how to go about this. I want to pass a variable to flash to indicate who the user is who's editing his or her avatar. Then I want to pull some kind of db file to have the image re-construct itself in flash (maybe from an XML file - so it would need to create/update an xml file).
I have a project underway where I am making an interactive game. It is a personal character creator game and I need Actionscript 3 help with this.Something similar here:http:[url].... I have tried already with toggling visibility and 'gotoAndStop()' to make items appear over other items when the corresponding button is pressed, for example, when the user tries out different pants/shirts on their character.
I am trying to split up my code in classes. But there is a issue what really bothers me. When I create a class for functions I am giving its own stage. Like this: dragf:Dragfunctions = new Dragfunctions(this)
And in the class i use this var stage:Object; public function Dragfunctions(stage:Object) { this.stage = stage; }
As you can see I can now call a variable of the stage using stage.var1 = "hi" but when I need to adjust that variable many times it gets a quite messy. There is a way to tell that when I call var1 he knows i mean stage.var1 without need to call stage.
Its: var var1 = stage.var1 And then using stage.var1 = var1 But that is quite unhandy too is there a better way?
I have this flash slideshow on my that was created using a 3rd party software. I'm trying to find out does anyone know of 3rd flash creator that creates a slideshow such as this one.I'm referring to the flash that's located in the bottom of the screen
I want to add a listener to the parent of a slider which is receiving the event from a non-gui class the EventDispatcherManager. So I tried to get the parent of the slider which should return the main class but it doesn't work. How to get the object (here main class) which instantiates an other (here a slider class) ?[code] now I did cast to DisplayObject and use .parent.parent since the slider is within another class sliderSprite but now I get null! So Is it impossible with Flash to get the Instance Creator?[code]
What I want to do (and I have high doubts about the possibility of this) is access the creator of a class from within the constructor of that class (without parsing a reference to it).[code]...
I'm trying to pass the file name of an image upload PHP script into Flash's UILoader component. So when a user uploads their image, the file name of the file is passed to flash so that the image displays within the Flash UILoader application. Here's the PHP variable I'm trying to pass: $filename= ''; And here's where Flash's UILoader gets it's source (ActionScript 3.0): uiLoader.source = "freshly uploaded file.jpg ($filename)?";
I have a rather simple flash application users can make a quick username when connected, and the username is created inside the flash swf.
Now, I have a cron job deleting inactive usernames every ten minutes (on my mysql database where these usernames are all stored and accessed by the other people online) which is fine. But it can still get cluttered up if a bunch of people sign off at once, there is still that 10 minute window before the cron job clears them.
The users have an option to click log out in the flash application which is fine and works great. But of course many choose not to click log off they just click the browser x.
I've looked into onbeforeunload and jquery's .unload but I still need a way to get the username variable that's IN flash INTO the HTML, then use a php script to run the delete username mysql query.
If not, any insight on how I might pass the username variable to the html to hold onto it after the user makes their username so it can be involved with the .unload function running the php script?
EDIT::::: Maybe is there a way to create a UNIQUE string of numbers with php then pass that var to flash to include with the mysql row then since i already have that var since it was created on the html side, just along with the unload, have it delete the row that has that unique id?
If anyone things this idea would be the best approach, and if i used something like md5(uniqid(microtime()) . $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] . $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']) to make a random iD how could i go about storing the result in a var i could place in the flash vars param then again in the jquery unload or javascript onbeforeunload if that would be better .
Then i must get values from "item1" and get them into a variable and sent it to flash. i probably will be using an array to store the values of "item1" but what can i use to create multiple param with the same name and have multiple values?
I don't really want to have any arrays like item1 = x,y,z because x,y and z are going to be html encoded, and the code of line would become enormusly confusing to read and edit.
I have a flash map I have created years ago and I've recently done an update to the file and published it. Everything works perfectly locally and online except for when I pass variables into the movie online none of the variables are recognised. Locally the file works fine and the dummy variables are passed in. But even online the dummy fall back variables don't work.There are two files the main map movie and the preloader. The preloader determines the variables that are passed into the main movie from the html embed code.HTML EMBED CODE
I am writing the codes that can pass the value from the table of database when I click on a button. When I click on the button in the first time, I send the the number of click: clickNum = 1 to the php file and I want to select the first row from the table. When I click on the button in the second time, I send the clickNum = 2 to the php file and I want to select the second row from the table, and so on. I can successfully send the clickNum in that numerical order. However, I can't pass the corresponding row of result back to the flash. For example, when I send clickNum = 1, it pass the value of the second row of table back to flash, but not the first row. And the row that it pass back to flash is different everytime, seems it is random and I can't find a pattern. The second question is that I still can't read the chinese character from the table of database even I have included the header("Content-Type:text/html; charset=utf-8"); in the php file.[code]
I am trying to pass a variable in Flash(MX2004) but struggling with it [code]where 'main' is a movie clip which conatins a variable called 'texts' to show the text entered in the html.
I have been reading all the post on this topic, but i just do not seem to get it! I am trying to send the variable "folder" to a flash file and get the flash file to recognize it. i am using the loadVariables() command to get the variable, but i am not sure how to process it to where i can use the variable later in the actionscript. can someone post an example script to show how to process a variable sent from php to flash?
The above carries through the affiliate ID together with Site Language which user has come to. The above works fine, what I need to now do is have my flash button call the same function...
I am trying to place a SWF on a page and pass a variable to it. The variable would depend on which link that the user clicked on. I am toggling the visibility of the div containing the SWF (code at the bottom). What I need to do is, when I toggle the div 'on' I need to pass a variable to the SWF so that it knows which file to load. Would I use SWFObject for this?Here is the HTML code on the page.
A rather large project (rich web application) has fallen into my lap and I am unfamiliar with how to accomplish a major functionality. in the right direction.I need users to be able to customize a 3D avatar and store it on the server somehow. The user can choose a body type, hair style, hair color, clothing, accessories, etc. The user can then choose from a number of different environments to place their avatar into, a specific animation (dance moves, playing an instrument, etc.), and an audio file. The audio file would then play while the avatar performed the animations within the selected environment.
How should we go about doing this? What technology should we use? Ideally, my colleagues and I would use MoCap software (w/ Microsoft Kinect) to complete 3D base models and animations for the avatars. Is it possible to then dynamically skin / texturize the models with the user's stored avatar? If so, how would I accomplish this? Does anyone have any other suggestions on how we would go about solving this problem?
I'm interested in building an avatar maker in Flash, similar to the one seen here:[URL]The twist, though, is to allow users to save their work out as a JPG (or as an animated GIF, alternating between the created avatar and the client's logo and URL,) sized just right for a forum or LiveJournal avatar.
I haven't seen many examples of Flash outputing dynamic images... the best one I could find was, oddly enough, on a movie website for Starsky and Hutch. They have a Flash application that lets users build their own wallpaper and then offers it up as a JPG: [URL] I'm thinking Flash 8's bitmap features would allow this to happen, but then again, that movie came out two years ago... how did they make it work back then?
I am using a progam called Smart Fox Server and they said on the forum that It's not SmartFox related (and this forum is mainly for SFS related issues). You need to create these interaction within Flash. So I came here. I am trying to get the users Id if you click on them. I know the command to get the ID but i dont know how to get flash to recgognise the avatar as a user.
I am trying to send a twitter update when I press a button in flash. I get the twitter page to open from the flash file but when it passes the variables, it is passing it as the following into the browser address bar [URL] and on the twitter page text box it shows [URL]. The browser is rendering the percent sign and the number 20 as actual text and not as the space that I need it to.
Here is my code function onTwitterButtonClick(evt:MouseEvent):void{ trace("Twitter button clicked"); var twitterShareURLPart1:String = "[URL]" var shareUrl:String = "[URL]"+youtubeVidID; var twitterShareURLPart2:String = "&text=" var escapedText1:String = encodeURIComponent("Check out this latest video from Me"); var gotoURL:URLRequest = new URLRequest (twitterShareURLPart1 + shareUrl + twitterShareURLPart2+escapedText1); navigateToURL(gotoURL,"_blank"); trace(twitterShareURLPart1 + shareUrl + twitterShareURLPart2 + escapedText1); }
I've been having some trouble lately trying to get my flash movie to load variables being set in an aspx page, I'm new to asp and flash so I have a lot working against me.Here is the aspx onload code:
Code: Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load Dim tnumber As String = ""
Well I just have to pass variables from flash to php then back from php to flash I've used the following sintax thousands times but now it has decided not to work any longer.
I don't get it Why is it so difficult to pass a variable from Captivate 5 to AS3/Flash CS5. I have a variable (gpDone = 1) in Captivate 5 (it's a guided practice) on the last frame which will indicate that the learner has completed the guided practice file. Now I want to pass that variable back to Flash/AS3 so I can evaluate whether I should show the Continue button so they can continue. They have to complete the guided practice before they can continue. If it is equal to 1, the Continue button will display. If it is not equal to 1, the Continue button will not display, but a message will display telling them they have to complete the guided practice in order to continue in the course.
I found an old thread which showed how to get javascript to send flash a variable obtained from the URL which loads it's html page [URL].. It works a treat in Firefox but for some reason in IE it doesn't show the swf file it merely shows a white box where the swf should be and a scrollbar next to it.
