ActionScript 3.0 :: Passing URLs For Class As Parameter In Flash
Aug 19, 2009
I am calling java servlets from flash using the following code [below is a sample Flash code for calling a java servlet in Flash which I am using]:
String url_String="[URL]"; var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest(url_String);
In this case, the servlet is called/working fine only in my system where the flash application is deployed & not working when I execute the application in different system using the "IPAddress" of my system. So, What changes I need to make in above Flash code in order to call the same servlet successfully from my system and as well as from other systems? (OR)
Is there any need to pass the servlet-url's relative instead of absolute? If so, How can we pass relative-path of url's in Flash? && Can anyone explain me with an example? How to change my above code to pass the url 'relative' rather than 'absolute'? If I pass the url relatively, does my issue gets resolved?
I have a custom class being constructed from my main class. In the custom class it has another custom class that is passed in as a parameter. I would like to strictly type the parameter variable but when I do, 'the type is not a compile type constant etc'.This, I understand, is because the custom class used as a parameter has not yet been constructed.It all works when I use the variable type ( * ) to type the parameter.I suspect this is a design flaw, in that I am using an incorrect design pattern.It is actually hand-me-down code, having received a large project from someone else who is not entirely familiar with oop concepts and design patterns.
I have considered using a dummy constructor for the parametered class in my main class but the passed in class also takes a custom class (itself with a parametered constructor). I am considering using ... (rest) so that the custom classes' parameters are optional.Is there any other way to control the order of construction of classes? Would the rest variables work?edit)in main.as within the constructor or another function
var parameter1:customclass2; customclass1(parameter1); in customclass1 constructor:
I need to pass a struct and a string in a web service. I am using a WebService components to do so.upon my search, there is no struct type in actionscript and so I used a class for that one.
public class UserInfo{ public var name:String; public var dateAdded:Date; }
and I'm filling it up so that I can pass it on the web service like this:
var newUser:UserInfo = new UserInfo(); newUser.name = "myName"; newUser.birthdate = new Date(); webServComponentId.operationToCall(newUser, "password");
Upon sending this request, it prompts me an error of Error #1088.
the component that is being called by webServComponentId.operationToCall(newUser, "password"); is this:
Just a quick one for any popup mapping from flash. I am wanting to do a pop up that displays the directions from "A" to "B". This string would work Code: [URL] The only thing is I don't want to work out the in between points but rather just pass the two lat,lon values and have the google engine complete the rest.
i have 1 PHP page in which i have a Flash animation. this flash swf file, display 2 fields and 1 button.
this php page is called "test.php".
i'm able to send data from Flash to a PHP page, but i would like to send the content of those 2 fields to the "test.php" and display them. however, i do not know how to do it.
i see that it works but i'm not able to display or refresh the PHp page to display the result.
as walkaround i was thinking to collect the webpage address where is executed the flash and to send it to another PHP page. and this 2nd PHP page, will reload the test.php with parameters...
how to get under flash, the address of the actual executed php page ?
I have a flash movie for drop down menus that is called by all flash/movie banner sections of my site. The banner movies use FlashVars to set the heading and an image. The trouble is that the flash menus also were set to use a flashvar to dictate the context of the menus and leave one top level menu highlighted to show the content to the user. I have not been able to get both of them to use the Flashvars functionality. The html page calls the banner movie directly and it can therefore access the Flashvars. The menu swf however - which is not called from the html page but instead is called from within the banner movie - cannot access the flashvars variables. That leaves me with two choices:
1. Either use a different method for passing the context variable to the menu movie. 2. HTML code calls the banner movie. I can continue using flashvars and get the context variable by reading it from within the banner movie - and then somehow pass the value down to the menu movie if that is possible.

is it possible to pass a parameter to flash from html together with the call of the .swf file? In the .swf I play different slide shows. The paramter I need, to know which slide show to start. I know that I can load parameters from xml or text files, but not how to pass a parameter directly wiht the call of the .swf.
1) Passing a control itself as parameter into a function 2) Passing an id ( managed manually) of the control as a parameter into a function . Say for an array of controls I have ctrl_Array = [ my_btn, my_mc, my_dtg ] and corresponding id_Array[0,1,2] PS: If my question is difficult to understand, i just wanna know, if it is a good programming practice to pass control references among the classes as function parameters ?
I have a function setup that I was hoping to re-use to eliminate a bunch of code, but I can't figure out how to pass a parameter to it. I'm getting the trace output, but the rest of the function is not working.Is there a way to get this to work?From what I can tell the syntax matches the examples in the reference guide.
I would like to know if is possible to pass a var type as parameter to a function. I have several sounds in library, and I would like to do something like that:
Code: function PlayMe(soundname:String) { var snd:this[soundname] = new this[soundname]; snd.play(); }
I am new to flex and SAP. I am designing a dashboard in flex. I have retrieved data from SAP query_view_data and I am able to show it in charts. However now I want to pass parameter to SAP web service to retrieve data between two dates. I am trying to this with the following code:
protected function adg1_creationCompleteHandler(event:FlexEvent):void { var IInfoprovider:String="0FIGL_O02";
The problem I am currently having right now is the inability to send variables loaded from the LoaderSWF to the SWF that has been loaded.
Concretely speaking, I have an embed script on an HTML page that contains several variables in the FlashVars line. The embed script loads a file called loader.swf. Loader.swf's main responsibility is basically take those variables from the flashvar, load the game URL and pass along the rest of the necessary parameters to the game that the loader is loading. However, I've been working out several solutions and none of them worked the way I wanted to.
how can I load the game SWF file and send along additional parameters with that request? Is there someway I can punch in variables into the myLoader object?
The code I came up with sends along the authenticity token just fine, however, it is not sending score_url correctly. I'm not sure if that is the correct behavior, but please enlighten me with any insights you may have.
I have also considered trying LocalConnection, but the problem is that I do not have the necessary source code for the games to set up LocalConnection on the receiving end.
Also, the game files are using AS2, while the loader is using AS3. The game files read variables by utilizing _root.score_url, etc.
I have a function that I want to use to change either the _x and _y or the _width and _height. Rather than writing a separate function for each.For example, instead of writing this...
My problem is, when I call the function as I wrote it above, Flash naturally takes the _width and _height Values (ie. 432, or whatever the width and height may be), instead of literally putting '_width' or '_height' where the params are found throughout the function...
I have an asp.net page where I get the user_id from who's logged in. Now I need to pass this user_id to a flex application that runs in an asp.net page as a .swf. How can I get this user_id in a variable in my flex application.Or what is the best way to get the user_id into flex.
I am connecting to a web service that I know has a method named getAddy.However, in order to work properly I need to provide this method with a paramater named sessionToken. I'm having difficulty with this, my code currently looks like this:
ActionScript Code: var WS_URL:String = "http://somedomain?wsdl"; var addy_ws:WebService = new WebService(this.WS_URL);
I am trying to build a static function that will allow me to do any sort of effect I want, however I would like to give it pass certain parameters but I am not quite sure how to do it. I am basically trying to write my own effects package with easing and all sorts of thing. ActionScript Code: public static function easeMC(targetMC:MovieClip, mcProperty, amount:Number, speed:Number){ targetMC.mcProperty = do the easing code; }
Basically, those are the parameters im trying to pass but I don't know how I would go about assigning the property per se, like if I want the x position or the width to be the one animated. The easiest way I can think of is making mcProperty a string and then doing this: ActionScript Code: switch (mcProperty) case "width": targetMC.width = do the easing code; case "x": targetMC.x = do the easing code;
for(var i=1;i<=2;i++) { var mc=attachMovie("mc_name","obj"+i,i) mc._x=200*i;
[code]....
this code places two objects obj1 and obj2 and two buttons button1 and button2
button1 is expected to return _level0.obj1 button2 is expected to return _level0.obj2
Instead they both return _level0.obj2. Obviously, each button is passed the object corresponding to the last "i" in the loop. How shall I sort this out? One of the obvious solution sis to attach each button to its object
mc.mc=mc.attachMovie("button","button"+i,i+10);
but this is not acceptable for some other reason I also have to use this for(var i=1;i<=2;i++) block because in the final application the number of objects will be variable and set by the user at the run time.
