ActionScript 3.0 :: Possible To Pass Value From TextField To HTML?
Apr 24, 2011
I have three objects on the stage, each of them holds different value. Then there is a text field. If, lets say one object is clicked textfield displays value of the object, if more objects are clicked on textfield displays the values of all objects counted together (I think you kind of know where I am coming from..
Now, after I have clicked on the objects I wanted, I would like the value of textfield to be passed to..possibly html form..Im not sure whether this can be done from the swf file, so was thinking that probably you can create a button that send the value somewhere, only dont know where and how..
I am looking for a very basic html editor (similar to the one being used in this forum to make entries - only more basic)...which ONLY uses html tags supported by the AS2 textfield....
I must be missing something obvious. I'm trying to pass a parameter from a URL into a text field in flash, but it doesn't seem to work. I've got a dynamic text field (display as html is checked), with an instance name txt_txt. Here's the only line of code in the file: txt_txt.htmlText="test "+this.loaderInfo.parameters.nameVar; And, when I upload it and use the following, I get "test undefined" as my return!? [URL]
Can buttons take variables? Right now I'm trying to pass a string into a buttons text field with: this.button_btn.one_txt.text = "hey"; It doesn't work, and the path is right? Is there something special I need to do?
I have instantiated an instance of a class that performs a URLload action. When that is complete I want to pass the loaded value to a textfield within the parent object. How do I pass the value out of the instantiated object to the parent object's textfield ?
What I'm trying to do is create a simple message class that I can pass a set of textfield parameters of my choosing rather than specifying each textfield parameter in the constructor.Is it possible to pass a textfield instance an object of parameters instead of setting each one individually?
Code: public class Example { private var message:String; private var messageTextField:TextField;
I've created a very simple video player that I want to use with many different FLV files on my site. Rather than packaging SWF files with each FLV, I'd like to just design one SWF file and have the corresponding HTML file pass the URL of the FLV as a parameter to the SWF. I've read a lot about passing in parameters from HTML to SWF using AS3, and it seems pretty straightforward. Here's an example of the code I created using Flash CS3 and ActionScript 3.0:
this.loaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,loaderComplete); function loaderComplete(evt:Event):void { //traceText.text = "Loaded";
[Code]....
Note that I'm using the variable "userName" to pass the parameter. Eventually I'd use a variable like "movieURL" to convey the actual URL of the FLV file. In any case, when I run the code, I get ... nothing! Nothing but a blank text box. Both the HTML and SWF files are on my local machine.
If I uncomment the "//traceText.text = Loaded" line, the text box says "Loaded", which would indicate that the event listener is functioning properly.
So, I want to pass a string variable to a SWF so that I can specify a XML file to load without republishing the SWF. When I assign the string variable to a textfield it is correct. But when I use that variable in the loader it does not display the XML from that file. You can see below that I commented out the string "lesson_11/images/0301_objectives.xml". If I put this string in the loader it works, if I use the string variable in its place it does not work. Can anyone see what I am doing wrong
Code: var xmlFileToLoad:String; var myQueryString:Object;
All i want is to pass a HTML (DOM object) from javascript to Actionscript.
i saw this article on the net and tried a similar code. But when i execute the code in IE, it alerts : "Out of memory at line 18". I'm stuck here from yesterday. [code]...
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 ()
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 have an AIR application that is downloaded from a webpage. In order to download the application, one must be logged in. I would like the first time the user opens the application, to be able to acces the userId that was logged in.
I'm working on a project where the HTML in which my main SWF is embedded will be called with a couple of dynamic parameters, like this:PHP Code:how to get that parameter into my SWF?
I've read a variety of pages that describe how to pass a variable into a flash movie (AS3, player = v9) from the html in which it is embedded. This page describes AS3 but neglects to mention what to do with the object and embed tags in the noscript section. Furthermore, I'm not sure the javascript I see generated in my page looks like the example there (the js in my page doesn't check AC_FL_RunContenta against zero)This page is quite long and appears to deal mostly with AS1 and AS2 approaches which I have used before and neglects entirely the newish javascript approach which appears to be used to embed flash these days (i.e., the javascript function AC_FL_RunContent).I was wondering if someone could spell out the proper way to pass in a variable from HTML so that flash can see it in such a way that works even if javascript is disabled, in all browsers, etc., etc.

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.
so I have my php API (html Get api for Flash builder and C# apps). So if you want to submit data to it you use string like
[URL]
If there are english letters in it its ok. But what if I need to pass UTF-8 string like this Русское Имя to my api what shall I do?

I've tried to attach the HTML generated by the Flash IDE to this topic but both HTML and zip format were rejected for some reason.
I've read tutorials everywhere which use PHP scripts etc.etc. to send data between the web page and flash. I am planning to play music from a web-page which is shown inside the flash application. The user clicks a hyperlink, and the url is given to the flash application, and the song is automatically played.
trying to convert data into XML and than be readble by flash, why can't macromedia be 'normal' and have some connector that can directly connect to a SQL database
Anyway enough about my rant...
I have a WYSIWYG html editor on my website that generates flash readable HTML code and we use PHP to store the information that is generated as a .xml file to be readable by our flash file. The data is passed via XML but trying to get the HTML tags through without the XML parser thinking its XML and interfering, and I've managed to research find the CDATA tag to pass information in (i dont know much XML, just basics to get it to work) but it doesn;t work!!
When I try to HTML code that is wrapped in the CDATA than it just shows as "null" on my flash file, but if i remove the CDATA tag and put in simple text it seems to work ok! even if i put in
Code: <b>you better work, damn you!</b> this part is not bold, but doesnt show anyway than the part in bold shows as bold but anything after that has disappeared
how I can effeciently put HTML into flash and get flash to successfully render it as HTML?!? note I've already used a .txt file unsucessfully and it seems to have LOTS of issues with special characters
I want to pass a variable from one SWF to another swf, both embedded within individual HTML files (lets call them main.html and Events.html) . In movie 1 I have 3 buttons. Based on whichever button is clicked I want to attach a different number in the variable (jumpframe), then pass that through to the second movie over HTML, where it opens at that specific frame number.[code]...
However, I understand that I must get that jumpframe variable from the HTML line into the second flash movie somehow. I believe by adding some code into either the first (main.html) or second HTML file (Events.html), but I have tried so many different solutions I have confused myself.
