ActionScript 3.0 :: Passing A Video Filename From One Page To Another Using PHP
Aug 23, 2011
I am building a page, like a table of contents (TOC) showing a list of videos the user can select from. It's written in PHP and populated by a MySQL database. There's a thumbnail and descriptive text which are linked to a new page with Strobe Media Playback. Videos will be delivered via RTMP stream from Flash Media Interactive Server 3.5.
What I want to do: Pass the filename of the video that was selected on the TOC page into the actionscript for the Strobe player on the player page. I have found a couple of posts here that related to similar issues, but I'm new to AS3 and was not certain if the other folks wanted to accomplish the same thing I do.
In the cosmicpanda update for youtube, you can go from a video page to the video creators profile page while your video is still playing in flash. Does anyone how Youtube accomplishes this? I would like to know if it's possible to keep the flash state of a site constant while moving from page to page on a site.It doesn't seem as if the flash is reloading, so I don't think that they are just saving cookies for the current video time and starting the video at that point when they refresh.I would assume that they're using ajax, but the application of this feature is really clean. The URL gets correctly changed to the users' profile page's URL. The back button still works as it should. (I can press back and forward between video page and user profile page and the video continues going clean and never drops.)
Recently i have visited so many video enriched flash site like this one [URL] Most of them shows video in full size. I downloaded the video using FF plugin. Video framesize is very small compared to the stage size. When i tried to add video and resize the video acoording to the page size , it slows the browser. I tried to embed the flv inside an swf and loaded the swf using normal loader and plyed it.. but the quallity and performance comapred to these site is very low..
I have a an unobtrusive flash video looping in the background of a website, it is not essential to navigation - it is purely cosmetic.The flash video loops every 30 seconds.As this video is on all pages, it jumps back to the start when a new page is loaded.Is there an actionscript / javascript way to get it to remember the position it got to on the old page so it can start there on the new page?I do know that this can be accomplished by loading the flash movie in a frame as well as by having the subsequent pages load the contents in AJAX but I was hoping not to go down this route.I have seen other people ask the question and allude to the solution but they only posted that they got it to work without saying how.
i need to beable to click on a play/stop button in flash to play/stop music... and then when you go to another page in the site the flash needs to remember what the music control is set to... ie. because the page reloads (cant avoid this) it just restarts the music even if it was set to stop.the way i was originally thinking of doing it was to create a javascript variable in the page... then in the flash pass a boolean to the javascript variable when it is clicked (not sure how u do that)... then every link on the page would check what the javascript variable is ie. on or off. etc.
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 checked out some of the posts in this forum, but i don't think they are quite what I am looking for.I have a database which stores a lot of user information.I need to gain access to this database and pull certain info from it and then load it into flash.I thought the easiest way to do this would be to load the variables/arrays and declare them in the php, the forward the variables into the .swf (on tht page)
here's another one about passing data to an asp page. I'm trying to pass a variable through a string to an asp page. I cannot understand why this is not working. Here is my code:
this.btn1.onRelease = function (){loadVariables("http://www.mywebsite.com/paragonstats/flashprogress.asp?pagename=introduction","POST"); }
If I paste my url in a browser, it triggers the asp page as it should. But this code is not working from flash. If I use getURL, it works, but it opens another browser window or redirects my movie. I'm just trying to track click through statistics. I've even set up a movie with just one button on the root with this code and it won't work.
I've been writing movies in AS2 that have variables passed to them via the src parameter of the page code, e.g. src="/Flash/theMovie.swf?value=1"
Then in the AS I don't need to define 'val', I can use it straight away. However, in AS3 - at least, as I understand it - it seems that I can't drop 'val' into the code without defining it, as it throws ""1120: Access of undefined property val".
So, if I add a line of code public var val:Number; or somesuch, will this be enough to ensure 'val' is useable once it comes through from the page?
I am using labels for the pages so they are all on the same timeline. When the user gets to the last page there is a submit button that sends all the variables to a php mailform file. However I keep getting TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. I dont think my variables are not being passed.[code]
I've made a XML based Mp3 player using Flash 8 and AS2. The player is working just fine, I mean playing song on previous and next button. Now I want to enlarge this and my idea is to list all the mp3s on a PhP page and allow user to listen to any song randomly. This means, user can click any song name and that song will start playing in the player.
My problem over here is; the song listing and the player will be on one single page and clicking on any song wont reload that page to play the selected song but just reload the content of the mp3 player.
I know this can be done in Javascript. My thought on this is: On clicking each song name, I need to call a JS function and pass to it the "ID" of the song. This JS function needs to pass "that ID" to the swf which will play the song.
Keeping aside the complexity involve in ActionScript to fetch the song name as per the passed ID, I need to know how to pass this ID from JS to AS
On a page I have a an iFrame and a swf, I've been trying to use ExternalInterface to pass values from the swf to the iFrame, anyone ever tried this and had any luck? I won't be able to post any code until tomorrow, will update then if needed.Here is a visualization of what I need to accomplish, perhaps if it can't be done the way I said someone will have a suggestion of another way to accomplish this.
I am using ActionScript 3 to capture image via users webcam in one of my Asp.net Page. Here is the code i am using
package { import flash.display.Sprite;
[Code]....
Here the image is saved using file reference, which prompts the user to save. However i want that the image should be sent to asp.net page or server, so that i can get the image and save it to the database
I am trying to pass a variable from my .aspx page into my published swf file. I am using the code below, and using swfobject to try to pass my variable. (I am very comfortable with swfobject and would prefer, if possible, to avoid using FlashVars.) The variable myVar represents the name of an image file, and will be a different image for each user on my site. I am using Flash CS4, and AS3. I only mention that because I was able to do this in CS3 using AS3, yet certain things have been deprecated in CS4 - hence my code does not work. And for what I'm doing and how I'm doing it I cannot use CS3 to create my swf file. Anyway, here is the code:
I'm trying to take a variable from a php page and send it to flash to then use in a link.I'm having problems just selecting ONE variable from the print function, the code will help explain:
It collects all the data fine but it does not print it out correctly, it prints out all the variables in the php in one link. For example: If i click the facebook icon, i will be taken to http:[url].... This also happens with the other icons (Youtube and Twitter).
So I'm wanting to create a DocumentClass that is willing to accept a variable for a path to an XML file, passed in from the HTML, like thisindex.HTML page would have this: mySWF.swf?xmlPath=xml/xmlFileName.xmlIn the FLA (SWF) I would have only a DocumentClass load a .AS file.In the .AS File I need to accept or read the paramater being passed in from the HTML page.
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 have been trying to put the As3 video tutorial into a class which works fine if I keep the url of the file to play within the class. But I want to be able pass the url from the actual swf file... I have had limited success.
I've been given a video url that I want to pull into an the flvplayback component. The url for the video I've been given is:The problem is when I set the contentPath with the above url the component won't load the video with the extra parameters ?var_log=102|441100001-1|- added as it says the path must end with .flvI am asumming that the video provider needs this extra var/parameter to be called in order to track the number of video requests, in which case I will need to keep this in.
know my question isn't linked directly to AS3, but still.

i'm trying to build a flash site and ran into a problem... i have a gallery page with a bunch of page numbers at the top. when you click on one, a movieclip loads of some images coming in.so the problem i'm having is that i made a little animation for when you roll the mouse over the page number (they scale up when the mouse is over, scale back when the cursor moves away)... what it's doing is when you roll over, it goes to a certain frame in the timeline and plays that animation.that's all working cool, but i need it to not do that once it's clicked on. so basically when you actually click on a page number, the over script should stop until you go to another page... here's the code i've written,
function over(event:MouseEvent):void { this.gotoAndPlay(30);} function out(event:MouseEvent):void {[code].....
I am trying to retrieve my SWF's referring document filename. For example, if index.html is calling mymovie.swf, I want to return index.html. I know this can be done through a combination of scripting and flashVars, but I would like to avoid that for security purposes. The flashVars variables can be seen by anyone who knows how to view source. Is there a way to accomplish this solely in Actionscript? or Flex?
I have a html/flash site now, [URL]. i access email from my site itself by giving the userid and pwd text box which i copied from the actual website hosting my email access. i copied the entire <form...></form> tag to my page and thus was able to put the name and pwd in my home page only and access the email in a separate window. now i have redesigned my webpage using only flash. i would like to know how i can implement the same using flash. as i have not much experience using action scripting i am a bit stuck about how you pass the hidden form variables. the below is the the exact form syntax:
