ActionScript 3.0 :: SWF Take Variable In URL - Catching Parameters

Jun 13, 2010

It's like this: I got this .swf which takes a variable in the url, like: myswf.swf?id=1. I put it on my server and I embed it in a html-file on my server and it works fine. The swf takes the parameter(id) and it uses it correctly. THOUGH.. When I let some other person embed it in a html-file on their own server (you know, like you do with Youtube videos) it seems as if the swf doesn't get the parameter. If I run the html-file locally on my computer and links the <embed> tag to thesite.com/myswf.swf?id=1 it doesn't work neither, though if I link it to the local swf in the same folder it works fine.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Any Way To Look At Each Variable Passed Into Parameters?

Dec 22, 2010

Is there a way to look at each variable passed into the paramaters of a function. For example, taken the given code.

Code:
package {import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.display.Shape;
public class Dot extends MovieClip {
color:uint;
dotSize:uint;
[Code] .....

So in this instance it would loop through color, dotSize, doughnutSize, and doughnutHoleSize and set the paramaters of the class to be the same value.
Example for each loop:
Code:
for (var key:String in object){
trace(key + ": " + object[key]); // object[key] is value
}
So, is this possible?

ActionScript 2.0 :: Access A Variable In Html / Swf Parameters?

So I'm trying to do something like this....<param name="movie" value="comp.swf?rootDomain=3" />where I have a variable called 'rootDomain' in my html, as a parameter.I want to be able to call that from my flash, but whenever I try it comes up as undefined.I'm using this code in my flash..

ActionScript 3.0 :: Custom Event And Variable Parameters Count?

Mar 18, 2010

is it possible to create custom event with variable arguments count? I ask this because currently I use anonymous functions on events with variable parameters count to pass arguments to appropriate function, i.e:

Code:
addEventListener( MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, function(evt:MouseEvent):void{mTBGp( pX, pY, l_w, l_h, isDone )}, false, 0, false );
addEventListener( MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT, function(evt:MouseEvent):void{mTBGe( pX, pY, l_w, l_h )}, false, 0, false );

and I don't want to do that because of weakReference.

1. From what I know if I set weakReference to true with anonymous function on in addEventListener GarbageCollector will delete them (and indeed I can see that my code stops to work on random, due to GC "kickin in")

2. When i delete my Object with addEventListener( weakReference = false ) the memory used by addEventListener is not freed ( unconfirmed, please elaborate on that subject also)That's why, from My point of view, usage of custom event is best, but unfortunately I use many addEventListeners with variable parameters count so (in above example 2 listeners. one 5 arg, second 4 arg) is there a way to do something like this? To write event that will take x parameters of any type?

ActionScript 2.0 :: Accessing Movieclip Parameters - Set A Global Variable To A New Value When Clicked

Nov 4, 2003

I have a button in a movie that I want to set a global variable to a new value when clicked. I want it to access a parameter of a movie clip that this same button loads onto the movie for the new global variable value. I have the final line under this button's onrelease script with something like this:

globalvariable1 = movieclip.parameter;

Everything is on level 0 and I've tried prefixing everything with _root. but it didn't make a difference, the global variable still wasn't changed. I'm a newbie so don't laugh if this is a really dumb question!

Data Integration :: Variable URL In "flashobject&quot - Call Different Movies On Same Page With Different Parameters?

Sep 7, 2006

This would be the code to call a movie:

var fo = new FlashObject( "Movie1_controller.swf",
"Movie1_controller.swf", "591", "480", "7", "#FFFFFF", false,
"best" );
--------------------------

Is there a way to modify that call (maybe using ASP Javascript) so you can call different movies calling the same page with different parameters?. I haven't been able to get this
working. It seems to be that the "FlashObject" call cannot have any variables on it.This is the way I'm trying it:

1. The call to the page would be: http:[url]....

2. Add javascript to get value passed:[code]....

It just doesn't work. The FlashObject.js doesn't seem to like that call.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Variable Which Changes From Time To Time Based On Certain Parameters?

But it doesn't work. I can't seem to change the value of "poop" with code. It only accepts a value that I place, ex. var poop = 2, but that doesn't let me change it.

Drag To Change Frames Catching At Last To First?

Feb 2, 2011

When the user clicks and drags across the movie, it changes frames--forward or backward according to which direction they drag. When they're on the last frame it should go to the first frame, and vice versa, if they're dragging in the associated direction.For some reason, there seems to be a minimum speed of mouse movement to go across this point, where it's not present to go between any other pair of slides.Here's the code:

Code:
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, stopClick);
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, clickStart);

Actionscript 3 :: Catching The Right Event With The Right Listener?

Sep 8, 2010

Consider this scenario we have a class A which is singleton it has a function Sum(a,b) ** . Now we have two classes **Class B and Class C respectively. Both classes (B,C) call add function and listen for a event.

Class A
{
function add(a:int,b:int):void
{

[Code]....

Similarly there is a C and D class. Now when lets say both classes call A's add function (when A is singleton) how does one insure that the right answer is returned to the right listener.

Secondly what if the calls are changing something, is there a locking in singleton?

Flex - Catching An OnReleaseOutside For The Stage?

Aug 1, 2011

Firstly I feel this question is not a duplicate for : Easiest implementation of onReleaseOutside in AS3?

Now, the problem , I want to do some action when the mouse_down happened inside the stage, but the mouseup happened outside it. e.g check google finance charts, try dragging the change range divider and then make the drag such that your mouse exists the browser screen, and then do a mouse_up outside the browser, this will trigger some action inside the stage , i.e make the range stick to the position it was, when the mouse exited the window.)

AS3 :: Flash - Catching Uppercase Letters

Aug 10, 2011

I know how to catch usual lowercase letters. I'm using KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN and compare the code to the ASCII table to find out which key was pressed. Now, I also want to be able to find out if there is, for example SHIFT+A pressed, and I have no idea how to implement this. I mean, in my program SHIFT and A are absolutely different keys which have nothing to do with each other, and they both will call KeyboardEvents when pressed. In Georgian alphabet some letters are typed by combination of SHIFT and English letters, for example W on Georgian keyboard means წ, when SIFT+W means ჭ. Absolutely different letters, as you can see. And I want to be able to catch both, coz I'm currently developing Georgian-language game.

Flash :: Catching POST From Javascript?

Dec 12, 2011

I have a series of .swf files that I inherited from an old version of a site I'm trying to rebuild.

When flash_element.submitForm() is called, they POST some data directly to a static url ("/submit"), then depending on the response, reload the browser page.

I would very much like to capture the data that they POST using javascript - preferably without it getting sent at all - so that I can have more intelligent logic to handle to request/response than is built into the .swf files I've inherited.

Basically: When a flash object makes a http request, can I catch and cancel this event in Javascript?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Use Of Events Bubbling And Catching?

Apr 24, 2010

I've been developing in flash for about 5 years now and consider myself a solid intermediate level developer, but I have a gap in my knowledge of events. I don't understand when bubbling events or catching events would be beneficial. I'm guessing there is a very obvious use for them, and being mostly self taught I've probably developed 'work arounds' to solve whatever issue they fix.

I've read the documentation and programmed a few test cases, but either for the interfaces I've developed or for whatever reason I've never ended up using them.

Actionscript 3 - Catching An Unhandled IOErrorEvent In Flash?

Apr 14, 2011

Error #2044: Unhandled IOErrorEvent:. text=Error #2036: Load Never Completed.That's what I see every time I try to load an image that doesn't exist using a Loader. I'm getting a list of URLs and can't validate if they're pointing to anything useful. Whenever it encounters a 404 it gives me that error.

I have tried to catch the error with every available IOErrorEvent there is (there are 7 of them),but none of them seem to capture the 404. Is there some other network event that I can be looking for to catch this condition?! I feel like I'm missing something obvious. What I'd really like is to be able to catch the event regardless of its description and just deal with it... sort of like

myLoader.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.*, dealWithError);

But that's illegal. I even tried catching

HTTPStatusEvent.HTTP_STATUS

but that never calls back because, I guess, it gets the HTTP status after it deals with the error events, so, as it fails on the "unhandled" error event, it just gets lost. Are there events that aren't in the IDE that I'm overlooking?

ActionScript 2.0 :: Catching And Preventing GetURL Calls?

When I'm at dimensions and load time it is quite easy, but I also need to determine what URL does the banner direct all the clicks.So The idea i have is to load these banners inside another swf, that would be a container. and from this container i hope i could get more information about the banner, and then call some javascript functions from the container, to output the result.But the problem is, i can't find a way to prevent getURL() function (in the contained banner swf) and return the url that has been called.Is it possible to catch a getURL event, prevent browser from going to that url, and return the URL that has been called?

ActionScript 3.0 ::make A Listener For Catching The CurrentFrameLabel?

Mar 16, 2011

I'm trying to make a listener for catching the currentFrameLabel.

It should listen to changes when entering another framelabel on stage and do this until the page visitor leaves the page.

now i have:

this.addEventListener (Event.ENTER_FRAME, test);
function test (e:Event) {
var lol = MovieClip(root).currentLabel;

[Code]....

this is not gonna work well because it keeps looping over and over, it might slow down the session. And it keeps refreshing the "lol" var.

How can i achieve that the listener keeps working but doesnt constantly refresh the var. Like a sort of pause were it starts again when it detects a change of frame label
