ActionScript 3.0 :: Pass Info To SWF From Another Browser Window?
Apr 17, 2011
I need to be able to pass information to an open SWF from another browser window.
Here's the ideal setup:- User runs a script in a new window- This script detects an already open window with the name specified (I give a name to the SWF's window using javascript)- The script then passes information to the open SWF and closes the current window, passing focus to the SWF's window
That's how I want it to work, but I don't know how (or even IF) I can pass information to an already open SWF.
I want to display some data in a separate browser window instead of using popupManager. How do i do that. Also i need to pass parameter to that window, based on that parameter, i ll call the service and get the required data and display that in the datagrid.
I have a flash as2 file which loads pictures into a thumbnail slider through an external xml file. when i try it out in my pc it works, images load perfectly and i can view the thumbnails, but when i contain the flash in a php and upload it, it stops working, the images never load.i guess flash has an issue trying to pass the xml info through php, i tried searching for compatibility issues but couldn't find anything concrete...
Essentially, can one swf on a page pass info to another swf on the same page (ie swf1 --> jscript --> swf[2,3,4] or swf1--> swf[2,3,4]??)
Given a web-page of somewhat standard design (menu options and a content area) where the menu options are individual swf is there a mechanism for letting the parent client know that a particular swf AS3 has received input?
Been puzzling this for a while. No F1 has turned up anything nor have general or forum searches. Didn't come across any output PARAMs (ala MS-SQL T-SQL). Did I miss them? NavigatetoURL() seemed possible but that either opened a new window (default) or using "_parent" just wiped out the current window contents completely. Using _parent with <framesets> pretty much resulted in the same wipeout.
I have a simple site made with python (django). User registers, inputs some basic info and it stores it to mysql. User then is able to log in with his username/password which he created...
Now i want to add a flex application which will run once the user is logged in, but i dont want the user to have to log in twice (once into django, once into flex app). For the sake of learning i just want the flex app to also load some information from the mysql database, like the users firstname or something.
how would i go about passing session information into the flex app?
Is it possible to pass info from one movie clip to the next e.g.value of a Radio Button selected, can this value be passed from one movie clip to the next.I know this can be done in different frames in one movie but I really need to be able to pass it to a different movie.
i have a flash site that links to PDF's with the navigateToURL function which works etc But now i would like Link to rather open up a download window instead of just a new browser window?
i've made a flash movie in res 600 * 300, now i want to keep this res don't want the user to be able to expand the browser window or change the res or anything how do i do this?
Trying to detect a browser close event and send some data to the database when the user closes the browser window...but can't seem to get it to work.[code]
I have looked around for this and haven't found a way that clearly explains how to do this. More often than not the button will close the browser window in one but not another browser.
Is the a simple way of closing a browser window in all types of browser ( Or mainly Firefox, IE and safari on both Mac and PC ) with actionscript?

I recently came across interesting banner that said something "You've been wasting time online for 4:30h do something useful finally, click here"What grabbed my attention, was that this flash banner actually got the time right, I logged in 4:30h ago. How did the flash know that? Is there a function that communicates with browser and checks how long it's been on? Javascript maybe? Same way it accesses getTime, getDate etc.
I now have radio dials on my radio which rotate when the user presses the left and right arrow keys. I now am trying to update the numbers in a display window of the radio so that as the user turns the knob the digital numbers in the radio will increase or decrease accordingly.
Here is the current code: var gasAmount:Number=0 stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, spinPointer) function spinPointer(ke:KeyboardEvent):void { trace(ke.keyCode) switch(ke.keyCode){ [Code] .....
I came across a website recently that outputs a whole bunch of user info: IP, browser, OS, flash version, javascript, etc in a very easy to use format. It was specifically designed for remote support, in order to determine user operating environment. However, I cant recall the name of the website.
I want to put a movieclip with tools at the bottom of the window in the center with tools icons, it should have fixed posiiton so that user can scroll the main window having it always on prompt. I think I need the browser window size properties to do somenthing as this. Is there a way to get them?
My standalone Flash program launches a window, using PopUpManager.createPopUp, and it gets some info from the database and displays it. Now I want to pass a variable to that popup but I can't see how to do that?
I want to send some text value to my custom popup window when it pops up from main application which is having some text input and also I want to know how to retrieve data(of text input) which entered by a user in popup window.
I have some scrolling content (info). I've also made my own scroll bar.I want the scrollBar dragger to be positioned in relation to the info._y as the user scrolls info.I have created two vars: one that worsk out where info._y is as a percentage and the other that works out where the scroll._y dragger should be as a percentage...
Actionscript Code: var scrollBarPercent = Math.round(scrollBar.dragger._y / [code]........
also onMouseWheel working too.I need a small bit of code that takes the % of info._y and moves the scrollBar dragger to the same % but in relation to the Stage.height...so if projectGalleryPercent = 50%, make dragger._y 50% of Stage.height using scrollBarPercent.
i am wondering, if its possible to check the users browser language and pass the result as a variable to the embedded swf?(i dont want to create more than one html file anymore for various language versions...)
I have a full screen flex application and I want the user to be able to scroll using browser scrollbars. I don't need mousewheel in the flex application and flex appears to block mousewheel events within itself. So mousewheel events do nothing.
<script>window.resizeTo(350, 500);</script> that is what I did it works but is there anyway I can get rid of the menu bars and scroll for the windowresize?
I'm currently working with a flash movie that opens up an IE browser to an external link.Since I'm working with a presentation that plays automatically after a few seconds and keeps loading new IE browsers with different links, I was wondering if there was a way with AS2, i can have flash close the IE window it opened?
I have a flashmovie that measures 950x675 px. If the user have a smaller webbrowser window than my movie i want the movie to be fitted in the browser window. But if the browsers width and/or height measures more than my movie i don't want it to fit (zoom), then the swf should only be centered.
I am building a portfolio site, and I want my content to occupy all the browser window.
Like this site: http://********theglass.com/ [URL]
I know GAIA have the ability to do this but I don't know how to use it, and the more I look to it, the more I think it will be overkill to use on my project.
I want my background to occupy 100% of the browser window and have the content to be centered.
Is there a much simpler way to do that without having to do it in a framework?
