ActionScript 3.0 :: Create An Application That Receives Variables Passed Through FlashVars?

Dec 30, 2010

I'm trying to create an application that receives variables passed through FlashVars and makes use of the new TLFTextField. I have run into an issue with accessing the FlashVars after declaring a TLFTextField variable.

The code I have is as follows:

ActionScript Code:
import fl.text.TLFTextField;
var tf:TextField = new TextField();

[code]....

The HTML file is passing a FlashVars value of "title=ThisIsTheTitle" If I run the code, the tf TextField is empty. If I comment out the last line that creates the TLFTextField, the FlashVars come through fine and the tf TextField displays the "title" variable that was passed through FlashVars.If I change the last line to read:

ActionScript Code:
var titleTLF:TextField = new TextField();

It works fine (the "title" variable from FlashVars is show in the tf TextField). I don't understand why delcaring a TLFTextField prevents the FlashVars from being accessed.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Dynamic 'quiz' With Questions Being Passed Through Flashvars?

Oct 13, 2011

I want one question to be displayed (just text) and then the user will type in their answer (just text) then they should press a button to move onto the next question to do the same.  The number of questions is not set and depends on how many questions the asker has created, these are passed through flashvars from the backend database.
 
So can I just do this in the one frame with a loop or something going through each param in flashvar ?  Or would a better way be reload the page (it's going on a website) after each question answered passing the flash a single question.

Creating Quiz In Flash With Questions Passed Through Flashvars

Oct 13, 2011

I am getting questions from the database (just text) and then passing them to flash via flash vars.I want one question to be displayed then the user will answer (text) and click a button and then the next question will be displayed for them to answer and so on.I am not hoping for overly specific advice but as I am very new to flash/actionscript am just looking for broad advice (or links ?) on how to approach this. Can I do it all from one frame just using actionscript?I think what I am really after (assuming I am not way off track) is if all the questions should be handled at once which I guess will require some kind of loop that listens for some buttonclick event to move to the next question ..... or be 'reloading' the flash movie and dealing with only 1 question at a time.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Returning Specific Parameters Passed From FlashVars In A Html Doc

Feb 17, 2010

I am sending variables from my html page:

Code:

<param name="FlashVars" value="nameCheck=boo&imageCheck=image01.jpg">
...in the parameters section of the flash object code.

I know that to extract the info I need to basically use:

Code:

var paramObj:Object = LoaderInfo(this.root.loaderInfo).parameters;

...in my as3 code but I am wondering what would be the syntax to return a text field containing the sent variable 'boo' and fill an image area with the file name from the variable 'imageCheck'?

ActionScript 2.0 :: Variables Not Being Passed?

Dec 23, 2004

I am trying to use the tutorial on this site to create a simple form submission to my database via ASP. I couldn't open the sample - I am on MX. But I followed the steps on the webpage.My variables are not being passed. All of the Response.Write statements in my ASP page are coming up blank.So I have the 3 input text fields. I specified each with the same variable name as used in the tutorial (fname, lname, email, message). I also used those same names as the instance names but that didn't help so I've deleted it. So currently there are no instance names, just variable names.And then there is a submit button with the code from the tutorial:

on(press){
getURL("http://mysite.com/processForm.asp",0,"post");
}

Thats all that is in the movie.The ASP page comes up, and the database submission completes, but all the variables and database fields are blank.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Anomalies In Passed Variables?

Jan 30, 2009

Basically, I have an XML object which is pulling layout variables, and then those variables are being passed to another XML object which is sourcing some video thumbnails.And its actually working fine, but only after some tinkering. It seems that the passed variables have to be redifined in some fashion within the scope of the new function.It might be easier to explain with the code:

function makeGrid(backwidth, thumbHolderX, thumbHolderY, numCols, tSpacing) {
trace(backwidth);
trace(tSpacing);both trace just fine but (See spacing variable below)

ActionScript 3.0 :: Variables Passed Different To FP9 Versus FP10?

I have been using the flashvars from swfobject for a long time to pass info into my swf for specific outcomes. I am just starting to publish everything using flash player 10 and wasnt able to get my variable to be seen by the swf. maybe i was doing something incorrectly with this new file? but i then took code from my older files and they didnt work either... then i published down to flashplayer 9 and it worked perfectly... ???

i am using swfobject 2.2 and my code for passing the flashvar is

// Flash Code:

Code:
var r:int = root.loaderInfo.parameters.varName == null ? 0 : root.loaderInfo.parameters.varName;

ActionScript 2.0 :: Variables Passed In From HTML / Not Quick Enough?

Mar 11, 2008

I'm having a bit of a problem with external vars and timing.I'm building a custom FLV player. In the parent HTML I have some boolean variables that I'm passing to the SWf, stuff like autoStart and loopPlayback.[code]The problem is that line gets executed before the external var gets in, I think. If I place a dummy var at the top of the AS then everything works fine. And the external var is definitely getting passed in, I have setup a check for that.I would need something like loadVars.onData ...but I'm not using loadVars, I wnat the vars to come in from the SWFObject HTML, or maybe a query string.

Flex :: Character Getting Replaced By Blank When Passed As Application Param?

Feb 22, 2011

I am passing a string param into flex application as FlashVars.The param sometime contains special characters, everything shows fine except + sign which gets replaced by blank when it reaches flex.Here is the scenario for eg.I have a local variable in JS that gets some values and for this example it can be taken as following

var testVar = "some_test_string_that_contains_+_character";

Then to my Flex object AC_FL_RunContent I pass "FlashVars","test="+testVar

In the flex code on Init of application I have written

var testValue:String = application.parameters["testVar"].toString();
Alert.show(testValue);

Now this shows fine except the + character gets replaced by blank. It doesnt happens with other characters like /,@$-_ but the + character.

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).

ActionScript 3.0 :: FlashVars As Global Variables?

Aug 10, 2009

I'm trying to make my FlashVars global so that they can be accessed in all of my scripts. I have an external .as file called 'globalvars.as' and it has the following code:

Code:
package{
import flash.display.*;
public class globalvars extends MovieClip{

[Code].....

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.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Send Multiple URL Variables In FlashVars?

I need to pass in two flashVars to the loaded swf, but can't get it to work. I think it might have to do with escaping the "&" -- I've tried & but no dice -- in both cases it just ignores the & and everything following it. I can't post sample code as the forum won't let me post what it considers 'links' -- but basically the flash var string passed to the loading swf is something like [code]...

ActionScript 3.0 :: Flashvars And Passing Variables From HTML To Flash (CS4)?

May 12, 2010

I am working on creating a Flash menu that, depending on the page calling the swf file, will show a specific frame just for that page.  It works almost perfectly except for the very first time you access the swf during a given browser session.  If you refresh the browser window, it will start working just fine after that as long as you stay in that same window.Incidentally, this is only for IE.  It won't work at all in Firefox.  It pulls the first set of frames, which is a template menu for one of the departments.The HTML code providing the variables:
 
*********************START HTML CODE*******************************
 
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript"> AC_FL_RunContent(  'codebase', 'http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#ve rsion=10,0,0,0',  'width', '150',  'height', '500',  'src', 'flash/ucfshsunitmenu',  'quality', 'high',  'pluginspage', 'http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer',  'align', 'middle',  'play', 'true',  'loop', 'true',  'scale', 'showall',  'wmode', 'window',  'devicefont', 'false',  'id', 'flash/ucfshsunitmenu',  'bgcolor', '#000000',  'name', 'flash/ucfshsunitmenu',

Actionscript 3 :: Get Multiple Flashvars Variables Into Flash (not Using Swfobject)

Jun 22, 2010

I'm rebuilding this embedable player for a client of mine, the video file URL and a couple of other variables are in the HTML as Flashvars. I suspect something is wrong with the code that looks for the flashvars.

The top part showing the green box is where the player didn't load because it was unable to obtain the Flashvars form the HTML. The player below has the Flashvars string hardcoded into the player so it works.

I believe the problem lies somewhere below Perhaps something wrong with the way I'm trying to pull in the Flashvars?

// LIVE Embedded
//vidURL = stage.loaderInfo.parameters.fvar;
vidURL = this.loaderInfo.parameters.fvar;
