ActionScript 3.0 :: Flash Passing MovieClip Object As Variable
Sep 20, 2010
I'm relatively new to Flash and ActionScript and have a problem with the following code I'm putting together:
Code:
// creating a new testmclip object
var testmclip = new testmclip(); // creating a new testmclip object
/* create a new pop up menu
- sending the testmclip as var and "test" as label */
popupmenu = new Menu ([path: testmclip, label: "test"]);
I'm trying to send a movieclip object created in one class, to a different class - for the latter class to add as it's child. The code was originally Kevin Hoyts Android Component for Menu and MenuItem [URL] ... but in that the path for the menuitem was a path which loaded from url or relative path --> this I can't do with flash...I think.

I am trying to send a value from one of my xml nodes (<marker>) by declaring it in a function 'showData' as a variable 'XMLMarker'. If I trace this value (XMLmarker) it returns the right data found in the node <marker> (which is 'myMarker_mc'). However, I need to tell the stage that myMarker_mc is a MovieClip...please see the 'PROBLEM' stated in the code below.
Code:
stop();
var placesXML:XML =
<places>
<place name= "Yogyakarta">
[code]....
why do you want a variable to hold the value in the node <marker>, when that value is identical for each node, ie. it is always 'myMarker_mc', so why not just directly declare the variable 'xmlMark' as myMarker_mc. The reason is; the value in some of the <marker> nodes will soon be changing to 'myMarker_mc2' - a slightly different movieClip which I may need to call depending upon which place @name is chosen.This is the new output thrown up by the variable XMLmarkers
Code:
<marker>
myMarker_mc
<myText>

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 .

I need to have something like this in a html file
CODE:
And so on....
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
Code:
<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" />
<param name="movie" value="/media/flash/preloader-R10.swf?ShopLevel=<%= Request("ShopLevel")

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 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.
Code:
<a class="popUpLink" href="#" onclick="showHidePUP();">Trojan Horse</a>
<div id="boxPup" class="box" style="left:225px;top:75px;"><!--style="left:400px;top:150px;--

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 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.

how to pass a variable from FLASH to PHP?I'm trying to upload an image through the URLRequest and pass a unique name for each file.( I want to store the name elsewhere and need flash to know the name of the file.)
Since I'm using the request.data for the ByteArray of the image, I read that I can't use the URLVariables to pass any other variables.
It is almost working, except for the filename.AS3 function calling the request and query string:
Code:
function uploadTheImage(GuidName:String):void
{
//create image
var stage_snapshot:BitmapData = new BitmapData(imgprev.width, imgprev.height);
stage_snapshot.draw(imgprev);

i'm referencing variable names and object names dynamically such as:[code]i have 5 balls (insert joke here) which get all the same functions etc so i wanted a way to avoid making 5x functions to handle each one of the balls. Now one function can handle all 5, etc.what i can't figure out is how to use this same set up to reference a variable or object name inside another movieclip. if i have another movieclip named "myParent" for example, i thought i could refer to it with:[code]but this doesn't work.
