I am trying to transistion myself from AS 2.0 to AS 3.0. Everything is going really well except I am so confused about URLLoad & URLVariables.I've been trying to load external data via ASP and it does send back the variable I want, but that variable also has all the HTML of the page too.If someone can tell me what I'm doing wrong that would be great. If they can explain what's going on too, that would be a bonus Here's my code:
public class TestURL {
var MyRequest:URLRequest; var MyLoader:URLLoader ;
public function TestURL() { MyRequest = new
I have an invisible movie clip I want to go to the NEXT page, as it goes to that page, I want it to essentially remove itself (page1.swf). e.g. page1.swf (contains fancy.swf - [AS2], 4 images, several invisible MCs with code) has an invisible MC + on click = remove page1.swf.
To be clear, this does work. It goes to page2.swf and page2.swf goes to page1.swf as it should. The issue is that if the user repeatedly does this (just 2 or 3 times) the fancy.swf becomes impossible to control and Flash (CS5) crashes. I think this is due to the fact it's not unloading the entire thing, it's only unloading fancy.swf on click (I hope). So underneath page2.swf is page1.swf, and when the user clicks back to page1.swf, page2.swf AND page1.swf are underneath that, and so on and so forth.
A SWF (published as AS2 for player version 9) sits on a page called home.aspx with other textual content. The SWF is a wrapper that loads in various other SWFs based on flash cookie data. Here is the problem: In I.E. (and not Firefox), sometimes the wrapper SWF hangs and fails to load the external SWFs.
The only time this happens is when returning back to this home page via another link that ends in a hash mark (home.aspx#) or to (default.aspx) which is supposed to act the same as home.aspx Also, this doesn't happen every time. Only sometimes. Anyone have any clues? I'd love to provide a link but this is on a beta server at the moment and I don't think I'm allowed to.
I wanted to know if it was possible to have a transparent swf sit over the whole of a html page? Basically I want to have a standard html page and create say an insect crawling over it, is this possible? I know about swfObject but I can't seem to figure out how to make the swf full screen AND to still see the html?
i have a question about loading an mp3 in flash. the mp3 is loading & playing fine, but if i click a button to go to a new frame, and then click another button to return to the home page, a new copy of the same audio clip is loaded over the one that is already playing, thus causing two audio files to play at the same time. it will keep loading a new copy of the audio clip every single time i return to the home page. how do i go about correcting this? the following is the code i am using:
I seem to have an issue with a flash I have written. The person who I made it for is telling me that first time he loads the page with the Flash in it, it loads fine. However, at this point if he navigates to another portion of the site, then goes back to the Flash page, he says it freezes on the loading bar. Consistently everytime, but only on his work computer, not home computer or lap-top. I think it might be a caching issue in IE, but I am kind of stumped, anyone ever experience this?
I am refactoring some code. I have a PHP page that contains a MySQL query and stores the result in a PHP variable $my_result. This result is then echoed to a Flash SWF during embedding with SWFObject. I now want to call this PHP page that makes the query from a javascript function like so - one change I have made to the PHP is that instead of storing the result in a variable $my_result I am echoing the result. Javascript function to call the PHP page and make the database query
how do I go about printing entire, scrollable text area in flash movie, I know how to print entire page but when text file is scrollable it doesn't print whole text.
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 was actually watching a tutorial about how to make a highscore table. The problem is it was done in AS2 and I'm using AS3. I've been searching tutorials for 2 days and so far I've converted what I could. In the AS2 tutorial he uses loadVariables which works for him and I've successfully used URLVariables to pull in my php variables in AS3. But, when he pulls in his variables for instance name1="happy",score1="100", he uses the set command and these variables can automatically be referenced by var1 and var2 respectively and can populate the dynamic text fields of his score board.
Set works differently in AS3 and using URLVariables I see the string of name/value pairs and I've split them up with an array, but, when I try to display them AS3 treats these name/value pairs as a value of the array instead of name/value pairs. I understand that you can load URLVariables as name/value pairs, but, how do you get AS3 to treat them as name/value pairs once the string is loaded?Sample code:
var sumString:String = event.target.data; var sumArray:Array= sumString.split("&"); trace(sumArray); //this shows the whole array string
I get the following errors when I try using URLVariables andURLRequest. Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong ?The class or interface 'flash.net.URLVariables' could not beloaded.var params:URLVariables = new URLVariables();The class or interface 'flash.net.URLRequest' could not beloaded.
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("upload_process.php");
It only seems to work if I provide a value (which I am trying to avoid). What I would like for it to do is send the url param: myObject[array_list][]=& (i.e. an empty value)
I have a URLVariables object (variables) that I'm setting its properties this way. [code]But the properties differ so I want to just pass an object in the following format and have it set the property names and values correctly.{fname: "fname", lname: "lname", address: "address"}I tried a forloop like this, but it's not working. Not sure exactly how I achieve the same thing as setting the properties manually.[code]
I am currently trying to write a simple class that handles form validation with a backend script, how the backend script works is that you POST a variable type and it's value and an XML is returned with any errors. The problem is, I want to be able to dynamically generate the variable names so that they don't have to be hard coded into the class. Is this possible?for example:instead of
ActionScript Code: var urlVariables:UrlVariables = new UrlVariables(); urlVariables.first_name = "foo";
I am attempting to make a flash object that receives name/value pairs to a swf that resides inside a LCMS. There is some documentation on the topic from the lcms, but very little support. The documentation says to instantiate the flash class called URLvars (which doesn't exist, so I'm using URLVariables) and says to use this code with the following example if the name/value pair is baseColour = 0x1c617D (essentially, then, the value of the variable baseC would be 0x1c617D):
var thisURL:String = _url; var vars:URLvars = new URLvars(thisURL); var baseC:Number = vars.data_obj.baseColour;
I tried to do this in a very simple object, but it will not pull the name/value pairs from the LCMS
I have written up some code following preivous work. And it seems to me like it is correct.ut i am getting the below code when i click on my button to run the function!Error: Error #2101: The String passed to URLVariables.decode() must be a URL-encoded query string containing name/value pairs.
at Error$/throwError() at flash.net::URLVariables/decode() at flash.net::URLVariables()
I got a problem with URLVariablesprobably better to show by example
Code: for each(var foo:String in fooArray){ variables.foo = foo; }
this unfortunately doesn't work as intended as the old foo variable in the URLVariables get overridden each time.Thus when I output the variables as suchTried looking around the net for it but couldn't find anything. Also it seems logical enough that the variable gets overridden and I wouldn't really question it if it wasn't that ive been told the querystring should contain multiple definitions of the foo variable...
//request is made to PHP script function completor(evt:Event):void { var getor:URLLoader = URLLoader(evt.target);//works var vars:URLVariables = new URLVariables(getor.data);//doesn't work! } getData.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, completor);
The first line outputs something like "&var1=something&var2=something_else". I just can't get why when I try to parse the data from the loader object into variables (second line) Flash simply stops and all the code after doesn't get executed.
I have XML I'm dynamically creating and want to pass to a swf via URLVariables. What I have right now is the following:
var urlReq:URLRequest = new URLRequest(url); var variables:URLVariables = new URLVariables(); variables.data_file = "us/data.xml"; //data.xml is static/already created
Does anyone have a way (or an alternative to) to get code below to work on local, windows if that matters, files (so not served on a http server)?If I use code below, the IOError eventhandler is triggered (it appearantly cannot deal with the ?testing=true trailing the filename)If URLRequestMethod is set to POST, the external file loads but its loaderInfo.parameters do not contain given parameters from the URLVariables object.
Code below does work on localhost so in essence it's OK, right?I can have the loaded file poll the parent or whatever to retrieve variables or push variables after Event.COMPLETE but that does not seem as elegant...
var l:Loader = new Loader();l.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener( IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, onError );var u:URLRequest = new URLRequest( "somefile.swf" );u.method = URLRequestMethod.GET;var d:URLVariables = new URLVariables();d.testing = "true"; u.data = d; l.load( u );addChild( l ); function onError( e:IOErrorEvent ):void{ trace( e );}
