Is there a way to pass data from a PHP script to an SWF at run-time without first writing the data to a file (through PHP) and then making your SWF read that file?
View 5 RepliesId like to be able to pass variables into a moviclip added at runtime as so:
var myText:String = ("My Text");
var myMC:MovieClip = new MyMC(myText);
// (MyMC from Library with 'Export for Actionscript enabled)
addChild(myMC);
I know I can just pass the bit in as
myMC.myTextField.text = ("My Text");
but I'd like to be able to pass a bunch of bits in at once, and create multiples...
I have a main.swf which loads a module.swf and the module.swf loads some assets.The module.swf works standalone and also needs to work when loaded by main.swf.But unfortunately the module.swf can't find the assets when loaded by main.swf because the assets aren't located relative to the main.swf, but are located relative to the module.swf.As I can't touch the module.swf and I'm also unwilling to change the directory structure, I am looking for a solution close to the a "base" parameter which can be used when a swf is embedded into html
View 3 RepliesI have an AS file that declares and sets data for a bunch of objects. Specifically, they are locations for a business, as well as phone numbers, addresses, etc, associated with each location. Ultimately, they will appear as pins on a map, and clicking a pin will reveal information like phone number, etc.I need to come up with a way for a separate SWF file to draw in the data from the AS file so it can be implemented on the map. The trouble is that the AS file will be frequently updated, and it will not always contain the same number of objects. me, the swf needs to reference the AS file, and generate a pin on the map for each object within the AS file.I've already set up my SWF to "#include" the AS file, and I can successfully use the data within using dot notation, but I don't know how to set it up to automatically go through the AS file and process each object, especially since the total number of objects is subject to change
View 1 RepliesI'm now writting a little drawing tool, that will allow users to save their drawings and the redraw them. Now I'm only concerning myself with diferent colored lines with diferent thickness. So now I only need to store the values, that will be used later on when calling the canvas object's graphics.lineTo(....); method. I'm planning to save all of my drawings in XML, but I still need to load them up when I want to use them.
Given my situation, what's the best way to load up my data (after loading it in chunks): Arrays, Dictionaries, anonymous objects. We're talking about loading up, let's say ~ 1000 Point instances for a very simple shape, since I want the drawing to be pixel-perfect, since I will be modifying it to a more sophisticated tool later.
I am trying to create a simple form using Actionscript 3 that will collect data from a form, then pass that data to an asp file. I have attached the following code to the submit button,but this is not working.I'm not sure if I have to add anything else and I don't understand why this is not working. I'm trying to load all the variable info into one variable called email form.
submit_btn.onRelease = function() {
var emailform:text;
emailform.email_txt = email_txt.text;[code]......
I have just started with creating Drawing Pad, which can save and reload the image drawn once. I have completed the basic interface which includes drawing and erasing part. I am storing the co-ordinates in a text file. I am using MultiDimensional Array to store X,Y co-ordinates. But now I am facing a problem that how to load these variables into the flash back and using these redraw the image. I tried using 'loadvars', but it didn't helped me as it doesn't return string data. Can somebody help me in this so that I can load co-ordinates from text file and redraw the image.
View 4 RepliesI am getting runtime error #2136 'The SWF file at %1 contains invalid data' (I know, %1 is a reference to the file producing the error) All I did was change some button graphics to movie clip types and have solved all the type mismatch and other syntax errors. This is a file I have been working on and posting about. This is getting annoying. What would be causing this type of error??
View 8 RepliesTypically you create a Vector (strongly typed array) specifying a data type like:
new Vector<PictureBox>();
However I need to create a utility method that should be able to create a vector of any given datatype. Is it possible to specify a type using a variable instead of hard-coding it?
var type:Class = PictureBox;
new Vector<type>();

View 3 RepliesHow can I pass xml data from php to flash, without using xml file?
View 3 RepliesThe Context of the Problem.I'm working on a rotator banner in flash. I use an external xml file to pass the banners info (like info-text, link, image-path, priority, etc). Everything is going well so far. I'm loading the xml something like this:
var bannersXML:XML = new XML();
bannersXML.ignoreWhite = true;
bannersXML.load("myBanners.xml");
The Problem itself.Now I need to construct this xml on-the-fly in php and somehow pass it to my flash object. So instead of read the external file I want my flash script receive an xml parameter it can work with.

I need to pass private data from MySQL to a flash file securely. I have a PHP script that is assigning variables on the server side - how do I pass this to flash without being available publically? I assume XML and an HTTP query string are out of the question because of security. What's the most secure way of doing this? Basically I have some file paths that I need to load into a music player - however, I don't want these URLs to be publicly known. I was hoping I could pass data directly to flash securely somehow.
View 2 RepliesI've traditionally all my as3 code in one included .as file, not as packages / class files, but I'm trying to make that transition. I'm a little confused about how to pass information back and forth among class files though. For example, what I'm trying to make is a sort of node diagram where clicking on a certain node will sprout out its child nodes, and clicking on a child node will sprout out its children, etc. I have a main class, Main.as, which I was going to make parse an XML document and store an array of all the relevant data for each node (things like a title, link, etc). Then I have a class file called Node.as which actually builds the node, adds it to the stage, and sets up its listeners and the motion tweens.
My question is - if all the information for the nodes is stored in Main.as, but the click handling is done in Node.as, how does Node.as know what attributes to assign to each added node (i.e., how does it access the array from Main.as to assign properties to the clips created)?[code]...

View 6 RepliesI'm passing the following parameter as an url fragment to flex. (#groupID=2385)
This works great on the development box, but when I put it on the production server.. nothing.
Do you think this is a server configuration issue. I presume that flex is talking to the javascript file 'AC_OETags.js' to make this all happen.
I would like to track the customer experience in downloading and initializing my flex app.
(a) Is there a way to pass data from preloader to the application? I would like to pass the time it takes to download and the time it takes to initialize.
(b)Alternatively: Is there an event at the application level that corresponds to the preloader events:
1. Download complete
2. Initialization complete (same as Application creationComplete)
I have two swf, A.swf and B.swf: B.swf is a child of A.swf. Each swf has its DocumentClass. Now: I must pass 4 arrays from A.swf to the DocumentClass of B.swf. Which could be the best way? Is a listener in B.swf a good idea? I noticed there's the possibility to send data over the querystring but I would like to avoid this solution, if possible.
View 2 RepliesI am dealing with the HTML page where my flash movie is embedded.
So I have a JavaScript function called getURLVar() that returns a string (a variable passed in the HTML page by the URL). That part works.
What I want to do is call that JavaScript function so I can pass its results into the flashVars property where you embed your .swf.

I'm developing a Flash interface that needs to pass a multi-select list to PHP from AS3. I have a similar interface programmed in HTML and JavaScript, and due to the quirks of PHP I use a series of like-named hidden fields to store the data. The fields are named, for example, "my_ option_text[]". The use of the square brackets in the name somehow identifies to PHP that this is an array and it treats it as such. I've had no problem using this method to send data to my PHP processing page and have been able to save it correctly. Now I'm trying to use the same PHP save page to process the data from Flash. Unfortunately, I can't figure out how to configure my URLVariables class properties to appropriately pass an array that will be identified as such by PHP. I've tried simply assigning an array to an appropriately named property of the URLVariables class, but the PHP only recognizes one item, not all items. I've tried using the same naming convention as that I use in HTML/JavaScript, but the square brackets aren't appreciated by AS3.
I can't believe that I'm the first person to encounter this issue. If anyone can point me in the right direction on how to resolve this I'd appreciate it. I did try searching these forums but only found one case discussing PHP arrays, and that was sending data into Flash, not from Flash to PHP.
