ActionScript 3.0 :: _root Replacement / Javascript To Communicate With SWF And Pass It Some Values
Feb 3, 2009
Im having a little problem making javascript communicate with actionScript, Here is the problem, i have a application that uses javascript to communicate with SWF and pass it some values, and the code was working in AS2 with the following:
[Code]....
in this example the aplication would pass key to the javascrip function and the function would put the value in the swf variable called _root.valor. So the problem is (as you already know) _root has gone in AS3. And every thing i tryed so far seems not to work. every thing i read so far was to embeb the swf in the js and use
root.loaderInfo.parameters.valor, well i dont want to use the embedSWF because i need to get the activeX cotnrol from my document. Is there any _root replacement? is anyway to get this to work at all ?

I have a website that has a Flash banner. For devices that do not support Flash (like iPads) I want to display an image instead. What is the best practice to deal with this situation? Should this be handled from the front-end with JavaScript?Should this rather be handled from the back-end? (I am using Java on the back-end)

for some reason, whenever I dynamically load a swf on a $(document).ready() by writing to a div, I am unable to make javascript calls to the browser. Specifically, all calls to the browser return "null". This does not occur when embedding the swf normally on the page load, but I would like to prevent loading of the swf until a specified point in time.
What the heck is going on here? Is there something special about dynamically embedding a swf that prevents the swf from talking to the browser? The methods ARE called (I've proven such by showing alerts), but all return values to any function, regardless of type returned, shows as null when it gets to flash.

My index.php file loads the Facebook JavaScript SDK and the FBJS bridge:[code]When I run this file on my server, I can communicate with Facebooks JavaScript SDK either indirectly through ExternalInterface calls, launching various Facebook UI dialogs etc. And I can also use the facebook-actionscript-api to launch the same dialogs directly from ActionScript.When I however use this index file as my Facebook canvas url and load the swf in a Facebook iFrame, the communication crashes the application. I'm not sure how to debug this but I think it might have to do with crossdomain security. Any ideas on debugging and/or solutions are welcome.

What's an easy and secure way to let my Flash app communicate with my back-end server?
The Flash app, which is a video player, should retrieve the person's username and send back an ID. How would I do this?
Note: Back-end is written in Javascript.

The communicate between javascript and flex, but only if you are using an external HTML file in a browser, and not in a windowed app.

In Flash Player 10.1 and later, the ScriptBridge class provides another way to communicate from JavaScript running in a browser to ActionScript (but not from ActionScript to JavaScript). The ScriptBridge class offers significantly better performance than the ExternalInterface class, and provides access to the entire ActionScript 3.0 API from JavaScript. By contrast, the ExternalInterface class provides access only to callback functions in ActionScript.If you need to call JavaScript from ActionScript, or need to communicate between ActionScript and any other programming language
you must use the ExternalInterface API. If you need to call ActionScript from JavaScript, the ScriptBridge class is recommended. The rest of the section describes the ExternalInterface class.my research makes me believe that this new Flash Player plugin API is most likely resulting from implementing recent changes in the Netscape Plugin API. Hopefully it should be as simple as having the player script NPObject properties and functions to use to access objects, packages and classes of the flash application.

I'm working on a site that allows administrators to upload arbitrary SWFs and embed them on the page. Administrators are in theory trusted, but I still want to protect against potentially malicious administrators or misguided administrators from harming the site.
A part of the functionality of the site is that the SWFs can communicate to the containing browser page when it's finished and for the page to react.
Now, I can think of two ways to do this:
Use ExternalInterface.addCallback to create a global callback named something like isComplete that does logic and returns true or false depending on whether the Flash app is in a completed state. Then, just do something like setTimeout to just call that function repeatedly. I don't think this would require me to open up allowscriptaccess to the movie. Embed the movie with allowscriptaccess and have the movie call something like ExternalInterface.call('done') when it's finished. This option seems like it requires me to open up allowscriptaccess, which is a potential threat since I can't control the SWFs that would be embedded with this directive.

I need to ask your advice, I am developing a site where music is uploaded by unsigned bands.I would like the player to be developed in flash.I would want an area where you can search for music and also would like the user to be able to generate play lists when they are logged in.I was going to put the filenames into the database and use PHP to grab them and display them and then use JavaScript to pass the values into the flash player.But I think this will not work on the play list.So should I get the list of tracks using PHP and use Flash to display them?Or should I be using XML and not put the filenames in the database or even both.I have spent a bit of time Googling this and thinking about how I am going to attack this so my question to you guys is what would be the most efficient way of doing this.

I've created some dynamic movieclips. When I click and hold on one of them, I'd like a different library linked MC to appear, and the new MC to be draggable.
I can make the new MC appear, and I can make it draggable. However, I'm a little lost when it comes to telling Flash to forget about the old clip, and make the new one the 'live' one.
In other words - after a click-hold, I want the new movieclip to be movable without the user having to mouse up and then click again.

How do I pass values by reference inside a for each construct in AS3? Basically, I want something equivalent to the following code in PHP:
foreach ($array as &$v) {
$v = $v + 1;
}
This would allow me to change all elements of the collection $array through a single loop.

I am wondering if it's better to pass an instance of a whole class to another class or just specific properties of that class. For example if I want the height property of class A in class B do I pass just the height value into class B or the whole instance of the class and use classA.height in class B?

HOW can I have a value shared between multiple classes? For example.
Code:
public var test:int = 3;
This works fine for the "main" class, but in the "animal" class, it can't access this variable. So if I wanted to set a rate of movement for an object, say animal, and I want to change it later in a different function, well, how? Any good guides to passing variables between functions and classes that are easy to understand? HOW can I pass values to ENTER_FRAME events, err...any events really. Example.
Code:
public class animal extends MovieClip{
public function animal(){
trace('crazy stuff happening');[code]....
Lets say I wanted to pass the Y value from the main class and not from within the animal function.
