I have been grappling with this problem for days now. I want to set two variables in a SWF and have them passed to FlashVars PHP page. I can get it to work when I just send one variable with this code:
[Code]...
I have a program that uses a document class. The preloader.swf calls the main.swf. Problem is, the main swf uses FlashVars to set certain parameters. If I use preloader.swf to load the main.swf, FlashVars will no longer work.
So I need some way for preloader.swf to pass the FlashVars to the rest of the program.
if i pass a value through a flashvar. anyone know how to display that vALUE AS TEXT? as in a php echo.
View 2 RepliesIs it possible to load xml as a flashvar? Basically I want to pull information from a server for a news ticker, but I want the info to be available as or before flash loads so that it appears to be instantaneous. Can xml be passed in as a flash var or do I need to break down the feed into individual vars that get passed in?
I'm not talking about passing a URL to flash, I mean that actual XML. Basically I just want all the data there and loaded on the same page as the flash so there's no load times.
Does anyone know how to pass a value to a child swf, loaded into a parent swf, from the parent swf as flashvars?
Have an old AS2 project that accepted flashvars from a HTML file it was in, but now it has to be loaded into an AS3 parent. Just need to know a way to pass some values to the AS2 swf that it is expecting as flashvars.
All I want to do is send the FlashVars to the Flash movie where it picks it up and goes to play the frame specified in AdFrame.
This is an odd one because it works perfectly when I preview it locally in IE. However, it does not work in IE when I move it out and tested remotely (tried it on two servers). It does not work in Firefox remotely or locally. I have the lates version of the js and I authored in Flash 9.[code]...
I've just completed a flash banner for our site and my boss has just informed he's bought some bannerad software to manage clicks, etc. Originally my flash was passed variables from the HTML via Flashvars which I accessed using something like this: var manid = root.loaderInfo.parameters.manid Which worked great. But now that the variables are getting passed like this (which I have no control over):

View 7 RepliesI am using CS3 and I write the following code as to pass variable to flash from PHP

I am trying to load an AS2 swf from an AS3 swf. The AS2 swf which was written long back, expects parameters from the timeline(_root). These were passed to it before from HTML using flashvars. Now I am trying to get rid of the HTML pages, by directly loading the AS2 swf from the AS3 swf. However, when I try to load the AS2 swf using the Loader class, the swf loads fine, but the parameters are not getting passed on.
I tried to add the query string to the url parameter I used in the URL request used for the Loader, but that did not work.(Adding URL variables as data to URLRequest did not work either.)
I want to have a button and when clicked, it does the equivelent of going to this php address and executes the php, as it would by typing into address bar. Simply activates php script with variables.
Code:
http://yoursite.dom/public/list.php?email_address=newuser@domain.com&group_ids=1&action=subscribe&firstname=John&lastname=Doe

I am trying to pull the variable "mark" into a swf. The URL will change depedning on the user and I plan on adding additional variables as well (lastname, state, age, etc).
I use actionscript 2 but would consider myelf a novice as I am more into design.
So I have an SWF8 file as a player on one domain (unsecure). It loads and plays an SWF8 from another (secure) domain. So far so good. Trouble is, I need the player to send variables to the files it's playing so that links in that SWF will, well, link. I also need the player to receive some movie control commands in return. There must be a rule or two I'm violating, because while the file plays, anything that depends on a variable is just dead.
A note: Both files started out as SWF6. I understand I can only do what I'm trying to with SWF8, so I went through the code and fixed the case sensitive issues and did the conversion.
May i know how to pass data from a flash files to unopened swf files?
View 5 RepliesHow do i pass variables in a function from swf to another swf?
View 4 RepliesI know PHP, JavaScript and AJAX. All of these other languages easily allow me to pass variables through a function, but I can't seem to work out how to do it in ActionScript 3. As you can see from the code below, I have created a variable called 'flag', this variable is set to 'notAdded'. However, once the function is called, I want to change the variable to 'added'. This for some reason does not work, the variable update only works within the function itself. There seems to be no global scope for functions.
Code:
var flag:String = "notAdded";
bobRunning.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP , bobRunningUp);
if (flag=="notAdded"){function bobRunningUp(event:MouseEvent):void{ bobRunning.width = 30;
bobRunning.height = 30;
flag = "added";
}}trace(flag);
So using AS3 with Adobe Flash CS4, what is the correct way to pass a variable from a server side script "PHP" to my SWF?
View 3 RepliesI am trying to load an image, with descriptive text and a back button on the click of a thumbnail of the image. I am using a MovieClipLoader instance to do this.
Here are my problems: I tried loading the image, with the text(which is within an external swf), using the same loader, but since I am placing them dynamically, depending on the dimensions of the image, I need to pass variables between the two. The image loader is taking longer than the text (obviously) but I need the dimensions of the image before I can place the text. How do I do that??
2. I tried using two loaders, with separate listeners, and the problem once again is that the text loads before the image, and is hence placed with default values instead of the values derived from the image. The code is within onLoadInit(). Is it possible for me to get the dimensions of the image from onLoadStart()???
3. There is a back button within the text.swf. I want the image and the text.swf to be unloaded when this button is clicked. How can I achieve that? Can I call loader.unloadClip(target), from within this? Will it recognize the variable?

I want to send the contents of a variable to a class where it can be used in its functions. Since I have no experience with object orientated programming what so ever I tried to break it down into real simple code so I can understand better what's going on and how I can implement it in my main code.I made a test file and a test class, basicly I just want to give a variable contents in my main code, then send the variable to the class so the class can trace it. But no matter how I try it i always get "Testoop.as, Line 6 1120: Access of undefined property test.Here is the code:
so this is the FLA:
