ActionScript 3.0 :: Using FlashVars To Pass Variables To An SWF?

May 18, 2010

I'm currently trying to modify The Piecemaker so that I can set the default css, image, and xml paths to full length URLs. Fixing this is a cinch if I just edit the actionscript in the provided FLA:

Code:
stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE;
piecemaker.xmlSource = "piecemakerXML.xml";

ActionScript 3.0 :: Pass Flashvars To Swf In Swf?

Apr 8, 2009

I am loading a child swf inside a parent swf, and need to pass variables from the parent into the child.  I don't have control over the source code of the child, so I can't have the child pull data from the parent; the data needs to be passed to the child swf in a standard fashion, so that the child works just as if it were embedded in a page using flashvars.I've tried passing variables to the child as parameters on the URL:
 
var ldr:Loader = new Loader(); var urlReq:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://mysite.com/child.swf?var1=aaa&var2=bbb"); ldr.load(urlReq); addChild(ldr); 

This seems to work ok, but apparently Internet Explorer doesn't allow URLs longer than 2083 characters [URL].  I need to pass a fairly long string of parameters to the child which will likely exceed 2083 characters. So I'm trying to avoid passing the parameters directly on the URL, and wondering if there is any other way to populate the child swf with the variables that it will expect.  Is there any other way of passing flashvars to a swf-in-swf?

Flash :: Pass Flashvars Into Inner Swf?

Mar 29, 2012

I wrote a simple flash loader that loads external swf and then calls javascript function to show div containing flash. I need to pass flashvars to loaded swf. I have read that I just need to use query string when loading to pass variables: externalswf.swf?var1=val1&var2=val2

BUT there is a problem. External swf can be very big and I'd like it to be cached by flash engine. It seems it's impossible in case of url parameters ?var1=&var2=& because those vars often change.Is there other ways to pass vars into inner swf. (I cannot change inner swf and I know only one thing - it use vars passed via flashvars mechanism

ActionScript 3.0 :: Using FlashVars To Pass Parameters?

Oct 17, 2009

I am trying to use FlashVars to pass a parameter that will determine which graphic to load into my movie. The test actionscript code uses a dynamic text field called dText and is coded as follows (testing the FlashVars by passing them to a dynamic text field):

function loaderComplete(myEvent:Event){
var flashVars=this.loaderInfo.parameters;
dText.text=flashVars.userName; }
this.loaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, loaderComplete);

In my html code I am adding:
<PARAM NAME=FlashVars VALUE="userName=SamG" />

HTML :: How To Pass Flashvars To Flex

Jul 26, 2011

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:

function createPlayer(videoSource){
document.writeln("<div id="player">");
document.writeln("<object width="489" height="414" FlashVars=""+videoSource+"">");
document.writeln("<param name="player" value="bin-debug/FlexPlayer.swf">");
document.writeln("<embed src="bin-debug/FlexPlayer.swf" name="player" width="489" height="414" FlashVars=""+videoSource+"">");
document.writeln("</embed>");
document.writeln("</object>");
document.writeln("</div>");
}

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>

ActionScript 3.0 :: Pass Data To FlashVars With Javascript?

Feb 7, 2009

I am dealing with the HTML page where my flash movie is embedded.

So I have a JavaScript function called getURLVar() that returns a string (a variable passed in the HTML page by the URL). That part works.

What I want to do is call that JavaScript function so I can pass its results into the flashVars property where you embed your .swf.

The following does not work

ActionScript 3.0 :: Pass FlashVars Into Public Class / Assign String As Path To XML?

May 29, 2010

I am trying to pass FlashVars into public class EventDispatcher to set the path to data.xml. I need it because the name and path of the xml file will be dynamically created. I need to use Flashvar in order to access the correct path. I was able to pass Flashvar from html page on timeline this way:

PHP Code:
var Flashvars:String = LoaderInfo(stage.loaderInfo).parameters.xmlfile;
Then, I was able to use it for new UrlRequest;
PHP Code:
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest(Flashvars);

This method works really good, but this solution only works on timeline. I need to implement this technique in the class. Before I setup a static var for with the path to xml file. I'd like to be able to get FlashVar withing this class and assign this string to 'public static var DATA_XML_URL:String' I have there. This way I can pass Flashvar to the project I already have.

Below is the class where I can implement it:
PHP Code:
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.events.EventDispatcher;
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.display.LoaderInfo;
import flash.display.MovieClip;

ActionScript 3.0 :: Assigning Flashvars To Variables?

Jan 16, 2009

I am using swfobject v2.1 to pass flashvars to my swf and I was wondering what the best or preferred way to pass those flashvars values to AS3 variables inside the swf.

snippet of javascript inside my html file from swfobject's required code.

Code:
....
var flashvars = {};
flashvars.myVar1 = "one";
flashvars.myVar2 = "two";

[Code].....

I essentially want to be able to pass a handful of flashvars to my swf and assign their values to AS3 variables inside (such as flv file url, skin, background colors, autoplay true/false, etc... my approach would be that certain AS3 variables would have default values (realizing my above examples do not show this), while others would require them passed from Javascript (flashvars).

But I get the following error: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. The Flashvars are set right as I can access the variables in the main timeline, just not the external .as file. I'd like these variables to be accessible to other external .as files which is why I'm doing this.
