ActionScript 3.0 :: Call And Execute Script Function In Flash With It?
May 21, 2009
I have a JS function (which changes the dimensions of my swf at runtime) & just want to execute the function when the user clicks the resize btn. The functions are 'flashmin()' to be executed by 'bt_close' & 'flashmax()' to be executed by 'bt_open'.
I assume I need to call it with "import flash.external.ExternalInterface;" but can anyone lay out the necessary code for me, or point me to an appropriate tutorial/s?
Is it possible to call a PHP function from flash and have it execute right away?
If so how could I go about doing that, because I am trying to call a PHP function that will update a users facebook status, but thus far I have been unsuccessful, so I am kind of at the end f my rope.

I have a very simple flash program code in AS3, inside this program there is a dynamic textfield html capable. Also i have a database were i will put some information.Each element in the database can be linked to other. For example, this database will contain tourist spots, and they can be related with others in the same database.This interesting spot is near <link to="ramdo2">ramdom place2</link>. And so, so so..The information in the database is retrived by the flash application and it shows the text on the dynamic textfield. I need somehow to tell my flash application that have to be a link to other part of the database, so when the user click the link a function in flash call this new data.The database is a simple Mysql server, and the data is not yet in there, waiting for your suggestions of how to format it and develop the solution.Im a php developer too, so i can make a gateway in PHP to read the MySQL and then retrive some format to flash, an XML for example.
I need to get a javascript var in my Flash application. I like to be able to just set a variable in the javascript (client constraints) rather than define a function.
Can this be done? I am trying to use the ExternalInterface.call()
I have a Flash application that receives data from a php application in xml format. Would it be possible for me to call functions in flash that it receives in xml format?
Let's say the php application sends this:-
<data> <command>gotoAndStop(15)</command> </data>
Would I be able to get that function executed in the Flash application?
make function execute only once per second in ActionScript 2.0? As always I'll start from example to explain my problem...I have aprox. 15 buttons on my stageand all of them are calling the same function, but with different arguments. This function executes some effects, that lasts for 1 second. If someone will click on that buttons more often, than once per second, that will look horribleI can disable that button, what was pressed, but this will not solve the problem, be cause someone in a hurry can click another button
I need to execute a function every 30 minutes including once immediately.User loads my flash swf, function gets executed.. 30 minutes later, it does it again.. and so on..
In the Actionscript 3.0 Language and Components Reference > All Classes > TextField Class > Properties > htmlText HTML tags supported table, the description of the anchor tag has this sentence: "You can use the link event to cause the link to execute an ActionScript function in a SWF file instead of opening a URL." I don't understand how to do this. Can someone tell me how to do this? Or, can someone point me to an example or reference that explains how to execute an ActionScript function in a SWF file using the link event?

I would like to download a function as a string from my server into a Flash swf-document on the computer of a customer. So this download would be executed client-side. Then I would like to 'execute' the string, just as I do with the 'eval'-function in php/javascript.The important thing here is that the function is not stored client-side on the harddisk (like the swf-document) and that the function only remains in the computer memory.
I am struggling trying to put together two or three tutorials in order to make a photo gallery with numbers as the navigation to work. I am almost there, the problem is that in addition to the numbers as navigation I also wanted to have the option to change the images using a previous and next button. Here is a link of what I am trying to do:
[URL]
The reason the previous and next buttons don't work is because their functions are within a main function that is called onRelease of one the number buttons. Once you click the numbers, the previous and next start to work.
My question would be if there is a way to auto execute the function DisplayInfo as the XML file loads. See code Below:
Code:
var item_spacing = 20;// how far menu items are spaced vertically var item_count = 0;// counts menu items as they are added from the XML function loadXML(loaded) {
[AS] _root.logo._alpha = 0; //Stt alpha p logon till 0 _root.meny._alpha = 0; //Stt alpha p menyn till 0 var donealpha:Boolean = false; //skapa en Boolean var doneshrink:Boolean = false; //skapa en Boolean var donemove:Boolean = false; //skapa en Boolean [Code] .....

When I place some codes in a keyframe, these codes are showing on all the following frames up till the next keyframe with codes. My question is, does Flash execute codes only in the keyframe or it execute whatever is in the frame regardless whether its a keyframe or not?

I have unfinished code I'm working on. It has a listener event and a function. I notice when I put the for loop outside the function (it would be below the last line) it doesnt execute. Why doesnt the code I type outside of the function execute? I need to know for future reference
I'm trying to execute a function like window.alert for example, from actionscript, when both the html file and the swf file are using the file: protocol.without changing global flash security settings
I was wondering if you can make an eventlistener to trigger to execute a function when the window/tab viewing the swf is closed. I searched around, and there seems to be a way to do this with flash.external class and javascript, but some users have javascript disabled, so is there a way to achieve this without javascript?
I have a class called TestMover and it has a function in it which changes its X position. I would like to execute that function from the main timeline. It worked when I used static function but it threw an error when I tried to change the value of X.[code]...
