ActionScript 3.0 :: Pass FlashVars Into Public Class / Assign String As Path To XML?
May 29, 2010
I am trying to pass FlashVars into public class EventDispatcher to set the path to data.xml. I need it because the name and path of the xml file will be dynamically created. I need to use Flashvar in order to access the correct path. I was able to pass Flashvar from html page on timeline this way:
PHP Code:
var Flashvars:String = LoaderInfo(stage.loaderInfo).parameters.xmlfile;
Then, I was able to use it for new UrlRequest;
PHP Code:
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest(Flashvars);
This method works really good, but this solution only works on timeline. I need to implement this technique in the class. Before I setup a static var for with the path to xml file. I'd like to be able to get FlashVar withing this class and assign this string to 'public static var DATA_XML_URL:String' I have there. This way I can pass Flashvar to the project I already have.
Below is the class where I can implement it:
PHP Code:
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.events.EventDispatcher;
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.display.LoaderInfo;
import flash.display.MovieClip;
[Code] ......

I'm trying to use FlashVars to pass a FLV path from html a FLVPlayback instance. I get how this is supposed to work, but I can't find any good documentation on the needed ActionScript. The closest thing I could find was a discussion about a script that looked something like this:
I am asking this question as a complete Flash novice, so please do point out if I'm doing anything wrong here (I suspect I am). I have a Flash MPU size animation with a link in it which has been created by using a full sized transparent layer as a button (is that the correct way) with the following ActionScript:
I am creating a class to handle some audio in an app I am building. This class will need to accept the XML element path as a passed parameter and or a getter.
examples of some XML elements I would like to pass to the the audio handler class to access them.
Dialog.introScreen.text
or
Dialog.secondScreen.main.text
ect.
I pretty sure this is not a string data type and thus cannot be passed as a string (I could be wrong though), if not, what data type would I pass it as?
I want a way to pass a string statement from one base class to an other. The two classes are CLICK and READ.What's an easy way to do this? I haven't worked in classes that often to know some of the simple tricks.
finally have a working hitTest (YAY!!!!), now, my code is setup to create 3 'sasquatches', the problem is for the hitTest to work, the variable "one" has to be public. Now, in the next bit of code we create 3 instances of one using a for loop, BUT they all three are in the same spot cause I can't figure out how to pass Random numbers to the variable each time it creates.
We are using a flash video player. In that we are passing an xml URL as Flashvars which contains the path of the flv video to be played in that player. This works fine when we are uploading to the test server. But we have a development sever which is accessed by an ip address. Whenever any ip address xml URL is sent to the flash, it is not playing the video.When we use domain_name/video_player it is working fine and xml file is loadingBut when we use ip_address_of_domain/video_player, XML is not loading Seems to be really strange
I am loading a child swf inside a parent swf, and need to pass variables from the parent into the child. I don't have control over the source code of the child, so I can't have the child pull data from the parent; the data needs to be passed to the child swf in a standard fashion, so that the child works just as if it were embedded in a page using flashvars.I've tried passing variables to the child as parameters on the URL:
var ldr:Loader = new Loader(); var urlReq:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://mysite.com/child.swf?var1=aaa&var2=bbb"); ldr.load(urlReq); addChild(ldr);
This seems to work ok, but apparently Internet Explorer doesn't allow URLs longer than 2083 characters [URL]. I need to pass a fairly long string of parameters to the child which will likely exceed 2083 characters. So I'm trying to avoid passing the parameters directly on the URL, and wondering if there is any other way to populate the child swf with the variables that it will expect. Is there any other way of passing flashvars to a swf-in-swf?
I wrote a simple flash loader that loads external swf and then calls javascript function to show div containing flash. I need to pass flashvars to loaded swf. I have read that I just need to use query string when loading to pass variables: externalswf.swf?var1=val1&var2=val2
BUT there is a problem. External swf can be very big and I'd like it to be cached by flash engine. It seems it's impossible in case of url parameters ?var1=&var2=& because those vars often change.Is there other ways to pass vars into inner swf. (I cannot change inner swf and I know only one thing - it use vars passed via flashvars mechanism
I have this code that works great but unfortunatelt it only works on the second pass ! On the first pass it complains of ...TypeError: Error #1010: term is undefined and has no properties. On the second pass it works fine Here is the code !

I am trying to use FlashVars to pass a parameter that will determine which graphic to load into my movie. The test actionscript code uses a dynamic text field called dText and is coded as follows (testing the FlashVars by passing them to a dynamic text field):
function loaderComplete(myEvent:Event){ var flashVars=this.loaderInfo.parameters; dText.text=flashVars.userName; } this.loaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, loaderComplete);
In my html code I am adding: <PARAM NAME=FlashVars VALUE="userName=SamG" /> FlashVars="userName=SamG" // added to the embed tag
I have a A.swf which loads B.swf onto a movieclip and needs to pass it some FlashVars. When loading B.swf with html, I can pass FlashVars fine. When passing from A.swf, it gets a
I am really new at Flash. So I am trying to make a flash container that display Vimeo videos. Here is my actionscript. var videoContainer:Sprite = new Sprite(); var moogaloop:Sprite; // the video player var moogaplayer:*; // reference to the moogaloop api var player_width :int = stage.stageWidth; var player_height:int = stage.stageHeight; [Code] ..... And I want to set the vidId by URL. For example: [URL]. And it doesn't work. It works fine if I set the video id in open ()
I am trying to get the facebook username set to a flashvars and then pass it to a swf, like so: var flashvars = { AppID: "my_id", Name: "" }; function init() { [Code] ..... but the Name flashvars is showing up blank, is there another way to do this?
As a PHP junior encountering Flex for the first time this scratches my brain for days. The flashvar contains the source of the video I want to play in the Flex video component. The HTML of the player looks like:
I tried to call the FlashVars in the FlexPlayer.mxml but it's not working. What I have to apply in the source in the mxml to access the FlashVars. <s:VideoPlayer id="Player" left="0" top="0" width="497" height="414" skinClass="MySkin" source="FlashVars"/></s:Group>
I'm having trouble getting flashvars to pass text to a swf through swfobject. Form code for user input and submit: <form method="GET" action="man.html"> <p align="left">Please enter your First Name: <input type="text" name="FirstName" size="20" value="Guest User"> <br><br /><input type="submit" value="Submit"> <input type="reset" value="Reset"></p></form> [Code] .....
I'm currently trying to modify The Piecemaker so that I can set the default css, image, and xml paths to full length URLs. Fixing this is a cinch if I just edit the actionscript in the provided FLA:
So i created a custom flash video player using some of lee's code, I'm having trouble figuring out how to pass in my video.flv using flashvars. [code]...
I have a flash component calling an external xml file configurable via the component inspector (I mean the location of the xml file). What I need is to pass the xml location as a flashvar variable from the html code. When I debug my flash, I can see the xml variable as Variable _level0. myBook.extXML = "URL...So, I am trying to add the flashvar to swfobject as so.addParam("flashVars","extXML=sample.xml"); //any xml what i need.It does not work and does not pass the variable.
I have a flash mp3 player that loads its info from an xml file and it works great. I'm trying to load this same player onto another website and have changed the domains, xml info, etc to load new songs. I want to have this swf be integrated into a larger site and not just loaded at the bottom of an html page.[code]...
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?
Is it possible to pass flashvars to standalone flash player via the commandline? Among other reasons, I want to run some unit tests from the command line.
I got this piece of code from "Permadi: PASSING VARIABLES FROM HTML TO FLASH VIA FLASH VARS (USING AS3)" and when I compile, I get an 1120 description error. I know how to pass text via flashvars, but not images.
var environment:AvEnvironment = new AvEnvironment(...); addChild(environment); environment.addChild(new Terrain()); environment.addChild(new Player());
I am trying to access a public property from AvEniroments class through the Player class, however I'm getting an undefined property error (#119). I've tried the following:
this.x = AvEnvironment.xs // public property in this class this.x = parent.xs
I've also tried something like this:
var ev:AvEnvironment = AvEnvironment(parent); this.x = ev.xs
but I get a TypeError. Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
I was wondering if it possible to write up some AS that will take line paths that you have drawn and convert them into a Path object? For example say you drew a jagged line from left to write, would there be a way to have AS convert that into a Path object.
