I am looking to deploy the jw player site-wide to replace our existing wowza player (with 100+ movies) and have run into the problem that in wowza the 'file' flash var was called 'movieName'.Asside from touching every html document, is there any way to make the 'file' flash var reference our existing 'movieName' flash var using actionscript?

View 2 RepliesDoes anyone know if adobe flash player cache data is available to other users on a system? For example: A user logs onto Windows XP, then uses my adobe flex application... and in the process of doing so downloads the signed flex lib... He then decides to mow the lawn and log off. At about 3pm the same day, his Mum can't hear the TV over the sound of the mower, so she decides to log in using a different XP user account. She proceeds to use the very same flex application. Does she also need to download the flex lib again, or would the data already be cached in the flash player?
View 2 RepliesI got a textfile who i am reading on a serverside script and passing it as a script to my client side as3 code. The problem is that i am using characters like ä,ö,ü,ß and this isn't well displayed. I tried System.useCodePage but the compiler complains about : 1120: Access of undefined property 'System'. It doesnt matter if I tried this on the first line of the 'Action' in the first scene or in the first line of the first .as file i am loading. (btw i am only working with .as file and not in the timeline). When i am importing flash.System.* the compiler complains he dont know useCodePage.
View 3 Replieshow i can to know if the value of a FlashVar (in as3) has changed. For example: if i inicialize the flashVar with "1" and after set the flashVar to "0", everyOne knows that this flashVar has changed. the problem is if i have the FlashVar value setting in "2" and i set the flashvar value to "2", again.
There are any way to know if this flashVars has changed his value for the same value?

View 2 RepliesWe need a second parameter added that sets the destination/target for the link. The default/current is _blank but we also need to be able to set this to nothing so it opens in the same window. Can you try adding the second parameter to the flashvars list and use this to set the target for the link.
my html is:
<object width="296" height="88">
<param name="movie" value="../soccer_homepage_AM2.swf" />
<param name="FlashVars" value="url=/mainpage_gif.html" />
[code]....
How to I add that second parameter of opening in same window to the flashvar?I believe you separate the additional one by using a & but am unsure exactly what to put?Do I also have to change the ActionScript in the original fla file? This is set to _blank but I believe they want it to stay that way but have the option of adding _self or whatever it needs to be in the Flashvar when needed.
My ActionScript 3.0 is:
btnLink.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, buttonSymbol_click);
function buttonSymbol_click(evt:MouseEvent):void {
var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest(stage.loaderInfo.parameters["url"]);
navigateToURL(req, "_blank");
}
I'm passing in a variable from my FlashVar parameters: gameToken, which will control the visibility of several objects through out my movie. The objects are in different frames and all have different labels: review_btn, introReview_btn, endGame_btn. gameToken is being randomly generated by the clients 3D environment, and then passed in the embed code. gameToken would look something like this:
[Code]...
I had some success using this method before, but only for a single object. Now when I try and repeat the method with the various other objects all I'm getting is a headache. At no point in my movie does gameToken ever get set to anything other than null (I'm not testing within my webspace yet).
Is it possible to make this a mask? The system contains one movieclip of a circle called ball, also a class called ball and a class called particle. I want the particle system movieclips to display an image...I'm sure this is possible...just have not been able to find a way. A little backround, I'm a completely selftaught n00b when it comes to AS3, but I'm grasping it fairly well... the tutorial is on this website, called A Simple Particle System Using Actionscript 3.

I've just completed a flash banner for our site and my boss has just informed he's bought some bannerad software to manage clicks, etc. Originally my flash was passed variables from the HTML via Flashvars which I accessed using something like this: var manid = root.loaderInfo.parameters.manid Which worked great.

I have been grappling with this problem for days now. I want to set two variables in a SWF and have them passed to FlashVars PHP page. I can get it to work when I just send one variable with this code:

Below is decription of the file
1. I have a flash file which is loading php variable through flash vars.
2. The flash var variable contains the .txt filename in which data is kept.
3. When I open the php page the swf loads with variable having .txt filename and value containing swf path.
4. I have created timer in flash which check for change of value.
5. When value changes the other flash file loads.
6. All this works fine in all browsers except IE 7

View 2 RepliesIs it possible to load xml as a flashvar? Basically I want to pull information from a server for a news ticker, but I want the info to be available as or before flash loads so that it appears to be instantaneous. Can xml be passed in as a flash var or do I need to break down the feed into individual vars that get passed in?
I'm not talking about passing a URL to flash, I mean that actual XML. Basically I just want all the data there and loaded on the same page as the flash so there's no load times.
Is there something I can do to make it so that a flashvar can contain any sort of punctuation and not break the html code? Like some sort of encompassing brackets or something? Right now if I try to include some long strings that have quote marks or other characters that could have some sort of meaning in the code, then it tends to interpret it as code rather than a string. Anything I can do?
View 1 RepliesDoes anyone know how to pass a value to a child swf, loaded into a parent swf, from the parent swf as flashvars?
Have an old AS2 project that accepted flashvars from a HTML file it was in, but now it has to be loaded into an AS3 parent. Just need to know a way to pass some values to the AS2 swf that it is expecting as flashvars.
let's say we have some arrays
Code:
var ro = new Array("1");var en = new Array("2");var it = new Array("3");
and we call the movie with some flashvars one of them language=en
so we asign it it to a var selectedLanguage = language
i know how to get the values of flashvars so no problem here
is posible to call something like trace(selectedLanguage[0]) and return 2
A lovely client of mine just decided after we had completed his flash presentation that he would love to be break the presentation into smaller chunks so we can link to the different parts of the presentation directly even thought it's one movie.

So right now, I have a video player that pulls in all sorts of info (flv url, caption file url, video title, description, preview image, etc.) through an external xml file (playlist.xml). It works great, but I need to change the coding so it's not hard-coded into the FLA, rather from the embed code for the swf.
Here's the chunk of AS3 code that's involved in the original loading of the XML data as well as the html text too.

Is it possible to pass native JavaScript objects such as arrays and hash-map-like objects to Flash Player with SWFObject?
I basically need to pass an array of objects to Flash from JavaScript in the Flash variables, so this is my code:
[Code]....
When I get the object in Flex, I simply get a String that looks like this: "[Object object], [Object object]" which leads me to believe that my array is being serialized into a String before entering Flash. Is there any known workaround?
And yes, I do need to pass Flash variables in this manner, since they'll key off some loading which is necessary to do before the application starts.
Would like to receive the flashvar "filepath=.$name" which contains a string which is the dynamically generated file path to xml file. I would like the flashvar to replace the "xmlfile.php", which is the file playlist.load opens. E.g.
playlist.load("xmlfile.php"); works with this
playlist.load(flashvar); would like this if possible or the equivalent
The file loads the xmlfile.php correctly and will read and play files, I would just like to make this
"playlist.load("xmlfile.php");
" load the flashvar.filepath (contains file path).
var myflashvars:Object = this.root.loaderInfo.parameters;
for(var s:String in myflashvars) {
playlist.load = (myflashvars[s]);
}
//Passing the flashvars;
<param name="bgcolor" value="#ffffff" />
