ActionScript 3.0 :: Load Movie Into .fla That Has Flashvars (Twitter Object)
Oct 14, 2009
I have a fla file that i am using on my page, i want the twitter object to be embedded inside my fla but there is no direct link to the file. The twitter site will give me a code to paste, but the code has a general link and some flashvars info. How would i be able to embed into my fla if there is no direct link? If i use divs to place the object on top of my flash it blinks and sometimes will not show at all.
I have developed a twitter API in Flash Professional CS4. It works fine when it plays in the flash player locally. But when I publish the file and play it in a browser it asks for settings to be modified. Since those were the local settings I have modified them and played the file in browser and it worked fine. when I upload the file to server and embed the swf into a html file and try to play it from the server nothing happens. The API doesn't load the feeds from twitter site. The display is always blank.Possible solutions I have tried.....
I've got a weird problem with loading Flashvars into my flash application. I tried to isolate the code and try it in an other document, but the object returned is still empty.This is my HTML code:
i have this code in my flash doc and it's not working.
var my_xml_loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader(); my_xml_loader.load(new URLRequest(root.xml_path)); my_xml_loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, processXML);
i get this message:1119: Access of possibly undefined property xml_path through a reference with static type flash.display:DisplayObject.
this is the complete code (it's a slideshow for external images)
I am trying to create a basic flash player that auto loads a file that is read from a databaseI know that using flashvars is the key, and i think javascript to load, however i am not sure how to startso what is the procedure?what actionscript do i need?what javascript would i need?do i just install the flash vars into the embed?
I am trying to choose the video that loads in my flvplayback by using flashvars. I have scoured tutorials and have tried numerous code combinations with no luck.Here is the code...
What im trying to do is use Flashvars to load an url in to a loadMovie.
I have a blank movie in a html page and i want to use that same blank movie over and over again with out have to reopen the flash movie. but i need to movie to pull different .swf. and i that what i though that i would use the Flashvars for but i can get it to work...
I tried many Flash .swf before and they all can be scaled freely -- by using a width and height in the HTML, and sometimes in the URL params or flashvars. But is it true that all Flash object can be scaled? For example, can some Flash objects using absolute coordinates to plot graph so that every 10 pixels it marks 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and no matter what is done at the HTML or any where else, it just won't scale and the browser can't do anything about it either? Is there a way to scale it to half the size for that graph? (that is, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 is separated by 5 pixels instead of 10 pixels)
I am trying to find a very good step by step tutorial on using "Flashvars" to load external mp3 files, I have been searching on google and the many I have found fall short in some way or another. From what I have been able to gather, I have tried using the code in red (commented out), which works, and modify it to use "Flashvars". The code that works, the mp3 file is hard coded, but my goal is to use "Flashvars" which I am attempting to do in the code following the code in red. I am also including the html code.
I'm using the following code to embed the swf and load a file via flashvars. It works fine in firefox...but does not work in IE. I'm convinced that the issue is in my html syntax. Can anyone spot the problem?
I have never used flashVars, even in AS2, but the project I'm working on requires that I use since my client is going to use dynamic urls defined as expressions and he wants to have control without having to edit a fla file. I have read a lot of tutorials and can't seem to come up with a solution. Basically what I want is to load my Flashvars defined in swfObject, each one holding an expression, for example:
[Code]...
How will I accomplish the same thing in as3? I know you have to get flashVars using .loaderInfo but that as far as i got.
I am retrieving an flashvars object from JSP file. Like userid = mx.core.Application.application.parameters.userJspid;like this it is retrieving in IE browser. But not in FF (Mozilla), why it's not retrieving is there any code i need to add it for Mozilla specially.
I am trying to generate an <object> tag only embed code and cannot get Firefox to pass Flash along the FlashVars values. This seems to work everyplace else that I've tried it but fails in Firefox. Here is a sample of the embed that I'm using:
I have a rquirement where i want to play the song based on the checkbox checked.I mean i want to set the flashvars parameter of swf object on click of checkbox to play respective song.I am using the tag for this is

in my website. Here i want to change the flasvars dynamically on checkbox(function as radion button) checked
I found this great rotator on Flashkit. [URL]. Love the user interface. Unfortunately it is using FlasVars in the object code to load images. That won't work for me, and I would prefer to load subSWFs. I can't figure out what I need to do to convert it.
<param name="FlashVars" value="imageOne=image1.jpg&imageTwo=image2.jpg&ima geThree=image3.jpg Code: //This is needed in order to take advantage of the tween function import mx.transitions.Tween; //This hides the 3 grow bars from sight TimeBar_mc1g._alpha = 0; TimeBar_mc2g._alpha = 0; [Code] .....
So I am trying to pass anything from javascript to an object, and use flashvars to retrieve its definition. Is it even possible? Here is the code-
Javascript
Code: var user = window.external.GetUsername; page_request.open('GET', 'http://www.mysite/members/tb/get_avatar.php?username='+user, true); page_request.send(null);
[code]....
Of course this doesn't work. how would I get that variable "user" that is created in the javascript code, back to flash?
I have a problem loading a swf object into an existing object. Everything works fine within the parent swf object, but I don't know how to make the whole object dynamically so I can call the parent object with a URL flash variable (or something like that). [code]...
how to set flashvars when running a movie in CS4 using Control->Test Movie? Under ActionScript 2 I could just set _root.flashVar, what's the equivalent in AS3?
I found this seamingly usefull mini tutorial on Actionscripts.org on how to use the FLASHVARS value in the 'HTML' to controll which part of the Flash movie is shown. But I can't get it to work, the AS gives loads of errors in Flash. The value is set, as I have got a textbox showing it the values. here is the AS I did as an experement,It's just supposed to move the playhead to a different named frame depending which page loads the Flash.the FlashVars value in the html pages is page=one and page=two.
Code: var siteManager:siteManager = new SiteManager(this, _root.page); class SiteManager { private var _tl:MovieClip;[code].....
I have a flash banner on every page in my site. I want it to continue playing rather than reloading when users change pages. Ive read that this can be achieved using flashvars.
I have this on frame 1 of my fla file now: var mySharedObject:SharedObject = SharedObject.getLocal("displayCookie"); if(mySharedObject.data.displayed == true){ gotoAndPlay(currentFrame); trace("cookie found"); [Code] ....
But I don't know how to give the currentFrame the value it had at the time the page was refreshed. How do I put that in there?
I need to display a word passed to the flash movie through flashvars. My objective is to display this word centered inside a black rectangle which length adapts to the word length. The box should be on top of everything, aligned with the right margin of the Flash Movie and 100px from the top margin.
