ActionScript 3.0 :: FlashVars - Send A Variable Value From Swf To PHP?
May 18, 2010
I'd like to be able to generate certain data XML file through PHP based on variable that embedded in html page swf sends or request. I heard that it can be achieved by assigning FlashVars. I created a flash gallery which loads all content based on data from XML. However, I need to load a different content using the same flash gallery based in which html page the swf(gallery) is embedded. I can generate new XML through PHP if swf will send a variable to PHP which can be read as unique. I need to create a mechanism where the embedded swf send this unique variable.

I wan the name from PHP send the value to flash Class.
PHP Code: flashvars='u_name=<?php echo urlencode($name);?> I had tried the code on the stage timeline, it works. But i do not know how to pass it to class.
I have a flash player embedded on page page.php?user=john using swfobject. The player calls the xml file content.php to get the results. I'm trying to get the user name from the url id. and fetch results based on that. I can get the username on page.php by doing $_GET['user'], but how can i pass that to content.php. Having read allot of articles online, i did the following,I'm embedding the flash on page.php using swfobject like this
<script type="text/javascript"> var flashvars = {user:"<?php $_GET[user] ?>"}; var so = new SWFObject("<?php echo $index->CFG['site']['url'];?>preview2.swf", "sotester",
I am sending a complex flashVar sequence where a shell swf gets the URL for a SWF to load via flash vars. The URL for this loaded swf has flashVars appended to it. I need to pass in two flashVars to the loaded swf, but can't get it to work. I think it might have to do with escaping the "&" -- I've tried & but no dice -- in both cases it just ignores the & and everything following it. I can't post sample code as the forum won't let me post what it considers 'links' -- but basically the flash var string passed to the loading swf is something like [code]...
I've created a flash form using components from flash 8 and can capture the values(variable name) from following components: listbox, radio buttons, textbox and textarea, dropdown list but.... I am unable to capture the value of my checkboxes.
I have a flashgallery.swf that thru the HTML it is embedded in, sends parameters for the content, css code, and php script code using this so.write("flashgallery.swf"); statement. Since my flashgallery.swf will be loading into the 4th swf of 4 nested swfs, I am trying to set up "global" flashvars. I'm pushing through the flashvars on the main.swf HTML page and I have that working. But now I need to figure out how to push that data thru to my nested flashgallery.swf file.
I send flashvars to flash. Those variables are one user id variable and unknown number of corresponding friend and relation vars (friend1, friend2, relation1, relation and so on, all the items from DB).I get the of course from an object:Code:var flashVars=this.root.loaderInfo.parameters;and check how many friends did the php send to me . There is one user id variable and an even number of friends and relations so the way i check how many mates do i have is:
I am trying to take a PHP variable and pass it along to Flash via Flash vars. My end goal is to pass a string formatted as XML to Flash, but because I'm struggling I've stripped everything down to the basics. I'm just trying to pass a simple PHP string variable to Flash via FlashVars with SWFObject but something isn't right. The page won't load when I try to pass the variable inside of php tags, but it will load if I just pass a hard coded string. The basic structure of my page is that I have some PHP declared at the top like so:[code]How do I pass a PHP variable using SWFObject and FlashVars?
I had to convert an AS2 clicktag script to AS3. It complies and works locally, but I was told I need to use the FlashVars to embed/place a variable (a URL) in the swf before it even starts.This is something I haven't experimented with (yet)I've seen examples and I kind of understand it, but I was hoping on some clarification
var flashVars=root.loaderInfo.parameters;
I understand the dot synatx (enjoy using it), and the root is probably the begining (where it will place the sting) Im a bit confussied on the loaderinfo and the parameters what are here functions in the command.
var clickTAG = flashVars["clickTAG"];
then using the flashVars Im unsure on the use of square brackets (instead of using curly braces)Best guess:This will take the string passed to it "a url" clickTAG and use the flashvars to embed/place it in the root/begining tagged as "clickTAG"?
I've got a flash course that needs to pass the current screen number from the course to the mySQL database. The person who built the back-end built a php page that I can pass the number to and it will get written to the db but I'm not sure how to "send" that in the background.He told me that I just need to call the index.php page like: [URL]So, would I use URLRequest for something like that?
Code: var vars:URLVariables = new URLVariables(); vars.theData = data; var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest("www.url.com/index.php/user/bookmark/"+slideNum);
Basically I am trying to send a variable from flash to php, I was trying to do it through the sendToURL function, because this seemed to be the most appropriate way to do this, although I may be wrong. Below is the AS.
var quizVariables:URLVariables = new URLVariables(); quizVariables.party = "labour"; var myURLRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest(".../partyhandler.php"); myURLRequest.data = quizVariables; sendToURL(myURLRequest);
Once this is done it should cause the following PHP to run (which works fine if I manually type in the address eg .../partyhandler.php?party=labour)
$party = $_GET['party']; mysql_query("UPDATE party SET $party = $party+1 WHERE id=1");echo $party;
however something seems to not be working with the flash element of the code.

I have a html form and when submit is clicked, my php processes the data. At the moment its simple, just one field displayed to the screen <?php echo htmlspecialchars($_POST['name']); ?>.Instead of doing this, I want to send the variable name to a swf file, and load the swf file with the name. I will use flashvars to do this. I have seen examples, and I think this one is used to display the swf onto the webpage, and pass the data to the swf.
I have a search field in flash, it has a text box with a variable name. When the user clicks the search button, I need to send whatever is in that text field to something called 'search.cfm' . I am unfamiliar with any sort of backend coding, but I am hoping this is a fairly basic thing to do.

I have the following classes:Parent (Document class for parent.swf)Child (Document class for child.swf)Parent successfully loads child.swf as a MovieClip.I am unable to communicate with the child from the parent. I want to send variables to the child.
I want to send a variable to javascript, then in the javascript for it to take that flash variable and then evalute it using an if statement. Can I use the loadvars command?
I'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);
