I am struggling with this bit of code
var bgimage:String = new String();
var myTextLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
myTextLoader.dataFormat=URLLoaderDataFormat.VARIAB LES;
[code].....
Could someone help me with this? I'm unclear as to why this bit of code won't work and my eyeballs are about ready to pop Is it not possible to assign a URL to a variable and then pass that variable back to the URLRequest? I'm getting two errors:1151: A conflict exists with definition movieURL in namespace internal.Warning: 3596: Duplicate variable definition.[code]
View 1 Replieshow to pass a variable from FLASH to PHP?I'm trying to upload an image through the URLRequest and pass a unique name for each file.( I want to store the name elsewhere and need flash to know the name of the file.)
Since I'm using the request.data for the ByteArray of the image, I read that I can't use the URLVariables to pass any other variables.
It is almost working, except for the filename.AS3 function calling the request and query string:
Code:
function uploadTheImage(GuidName:String):void
{
//create image
var stage_snapshot:BitmapData = new BitmapData(imgprev.width, imgprev.height);
stage_snapshot.draw(imgprev);

I'm having trouble passing my variable (dayValue ) into my string. The goal is to be able to count backward or forward x amount of days. I keep getting compiler errors. time.
ActionScript Code:

I can then access it and get to to trace from anywhere like this:[code]However...I need to to go into something being converted to a string...like this...txt.load("xml/january/1.xml");Where the Janauary is replaced with the global variable. However, everything inside the quotations is being converted to strictly text, so that txt.load("xml/monthvariable/1.xml");Literally looks for the "monthvariable" folder instead of the January Folder. How can I put a variable into a string like this, so the variable is actually the variable and not the strict text?

Like the subject says, I'm passing in a url string through swjobject, and then using that variable to make a url request upon an event. Here is the code. If I remove the loaderInfo and just declare my url in the actionscript itself, it works fine.

I just have a simple question how do i point to the parent directory from where i curently am in URLRequest string parameter?in other words my folder structure:

I'm using AS3 to get variables from a plain text file. The variables are loaded, and assigned as a variable in Flash.
Code:
var checkNew:Timer = new Timer(2000);
checkNew.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, reConnect);
checkNew.start();
[Code].....
So basically as you can see here, the gamertag is loaded from a plain text PHP file and converted into a variable. What I need to be able to do is tell whether or not that variable has changed (ex. 1 changed to 2).
Quite simply what should the code look like to include four URLRequest buttons in the same Actions keyframe. I'm working on a slideshow so the actions layer spans four frames. I've tried using four separate keyframes but no luck.
View 1 RepliesSo, i've got an request that returns variables count i0 i1 i2 etc.
I'd like to put them in an array.
var imagecount = evt.target.data.count;
for(var i = 0; i < imagecount; i++) {
image[i] = evt.target.data.["i"+i];

I'd just like to use the i loop number as the variable name. What is the syntax in doing so?
I this code a setup a button that calls a url request from another variable and that works fine:
var venue_www:String = "http://www....1";
var venue_url:URLRequest = new URLRequest(venue_www);
function venue_Click(event:MouseEvent):void {
navigateToURL(venue_url);
vInfo.highlight1.alpha = 1;
} vInfo.venue.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, venue_Click);
But later on I have a function that changes the venue_www variable among other details. But my button won't update with the new url variable. I've actually also already removed the event listener and re-added it through the script, for whatever its worth.
function setInfo1() {// one for each venue
if (currentVenue=="ATL") {
venue_www = "http://www.....2";
}}
f you know PHP...then you know that you can create a string variable...and then use the value of that variable to declare another variable. like this:
PHP Code:
<?php$foo = "haha";$i{$foo} = "success";print $i{haha};?>
and it would display "success"...or like this:
PHP Code:
<?php$foo = "haha";$$foo = "success";print $haha;?>
and it would also display "success".
I have a String variable in my flex (flash builder 4) application containing CSV data. I need to allow the user to download this data to a local file. For example, giving them a "csv" button to click and it might present them with a save file dialog (and I would be sending the contents of my string variable).Is this possible / how ?I am using the ResuableFX component for the datagrid to csv. This the code I ended up with that works to save the string to a text file for the user (in a web browser):
var dg2CSV:DataGrid2CSV = new DataGrid2CSV();
dg2CSV.includeHeader=true;
dg2CSV.target=adgEncounters;

lately i've associated a class file (.as) to my movie and immediately after, when publishing the movie i got the following error message: 1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: URLRequest. as well as a couple of other related error messages: 1180: Call to a possibly undefined method URLRequest. 1180: Call to a possibly undefined method navigateToURL. when i remove the link to the class file, the problem goes away. also, i have checked the class file for mentioning of "URLRequest" and nothing is there.
Trying to replace a portion of a string with a "-" if it matches a string variable in AS3.

how you would target a function's local variable through a concatenated variable string.For example:
var txt = "Hello World";
function testing(msg) {
var test1 = msg;[code].........
I'd expect the trace to be "Hello World" but rather is given "undefined". So if variables created outside functions are created on the main timeline, where are local function variables created and how would you access them?
i'm getting a value from a class that gives me e.g "icon1" as data. i want to use this within a function to control the visibility of an item nested in a movieclip on the stage. the nested movie has the same name as the data being sent.
// here's what i want it to do:
mymenu.icon1.visible = true;
// but i cant append the 2 together as flash will see it as a string not read it as path.
[Code]....
I have been banging my head against a brick wall regarding the following problem which must be very simple to fix, just can't see the answer.I have a class assigned to a movieclip called canvas. The class is called drawClass. I have called the instance of canvas on the stage 'drawingCanvas'.When I trace "drawingCanvas" I get object drawClass] which is fine. Tracing drawingCanvas.name gets me the instance name 'drawingCanvas'.This is a String variable.Basically what I am trying to do is pass the MovieClip name to another class. In my example the class 'toolBar', which can then interact with the MovieClip.
The problem is passing 'drawingCanvas.name' results in a String, so I get an error saying :TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert "canvasArea" to flash.display.MovieClip.I can't for love or money find a way to convert a String variable to a MovieClip variable! I have the name of the MovieClip, I just need to tell the toolbar class. But I can't find a way of doing this as the instance on stage is an object of drawingClass, not a MovieClip (unless MovieClips with attached classes are not treated as standard MovieClips?).
I'm working on an adventure game and I need to find a way to pass the next MovieClip name to the function that loads it in the main timeline.
ActionScript Code:
Bowl_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, BowlClick);
function BowlClick(evt:MouseEvent){
var nextMovie:String = "nameOfNextMovie";
this.parent.parent newMovieLoader (nextMovie);
}
This is all good but I can't find a way to use the nextMovie parameter in the function and load a movie from the library. I hope you can understand my explanation..
I am working on designing a "flyer" type of advertisement at the moment... and I have pretty much everything working... everything except for this, that is. I need to be able to pass a string into flash that would basically be XML into flash. I know how to pass strings in, but where this has many "'s and /'s. "FlashVars" looks like this as an example...
Code:
<param name="FlashVars" value="items=<?xml version="1.0"?>
<flyer><flyer-item index="1" shortDescription="small car" longDescription="a small car" price="1000" image="[URL]" />
<flyer-item index="2" shortDescription="car" longDescription="a car" price="2000" image="[URL]" />
<flyer-item index="3" shortDescription="big car" longDescription="a big car" price="3000" image="[URL]" /></flyer>" />
I also have this in my embed tag and for some reason, this is what I get on my page when I try to load it up...Big Empty White Space
" /> " quality="high" bgcolor="#ffffff" width="550" height="400" name="temp" align="middle" allowScriptAccess="sameDomain" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="[URL]" />
It's like the XML is terminating the string or something.

If I set my HLED Widget's FCDataURL to some a valid XML the LED shows up fine but now I want to change the HLED's value programatically. For this purpose, I have made a string named xmlData, containing data from an XML file as shown below:
String for XML:
private var xmlData:String="<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>" +
"<chart chartBottomMargin='5' lowerLimit='0' upperLimit='100' lowerLimitDisplay='Low' " +

see the chart load up with value = 66 but all I get is "Error in loading data".
