I'm working on a movie that needs to get the query string data, but I can't just pass it in, as I don't have access to the embedding page, and can't get the author to edit the embedding options. I need to do it all within the movie.
I've seen examples of as 2 using ExternalInterface.call("window.location.href.toStr ing"); but I can't get it to work. Is there another way in as3?
We have implemented a Flash photo slideshow on our site and it works just fine for most of our users. Whenever the xml.load(success) returns false I have the Flash email me a debug report. For the life of me I can not find a common thread between all of these people having problems with the Flash. I don't think it's a cross-domain issue because it works for most people, and I have the crossdomain.xml files where they should be.

I have been reading this page about passing a query string to a flash file and I have it all set up using Javascript.URL...My next question that the page doesnt seem to cover is how do you then get flash to manipulate the data from the query string?So say I pass example.swf?testtype=1, I want flash to grab the value of testtype.

I need to run a query and convert the results to an XML string. I *think* I need to do all of this in PHP but I wanted to get some guidance as sometimes I make things more difficult than necessary.
Do I have 2 scripts... one to query and one to process the results to XML? Or can I put them both in the same script. To do the latter is not proper OOP practice, correct?
Once that is done, I can get the data into Flash. I need it to be XML though because the same data is being used elsewhere outside of Flash.
Is this the proper, most efficient way of handling this task?
I have a Facebook application that has a picture gallery. It's build in Flex 4. I want to allow users to link to a specific image. How can that be done?
The only way I see this being done is adding a GET var like &my_picture=asd.jpg in the Facebook page URL, but I don't know how to read that from the iFrame.
I recently had a flash project that required me to get query string variables and found it cumbersome, however i found a query string class here on the forums originally created by MichaelxxOA over at actionscript.org.

Is working fine, passing all the variables into the URL. The question is... why? I can't see any mechanism whereby getURL is given all the variables defined above. Does it pass in all local vars by default?
I've looked up quite a few tutorials, how-to's, etc. on how to pass a query string into my SWF, but it isn't working. The page where the SWF resides is an ASPX page, and this is the code I used:
Code:
Select all <object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="[URL]"
width="756" height="433" id="gallery" align="middle">
<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" />
<param name="allowFullScreen" value="false" />
<param name="movie" value="gallery.swf?ProjID=<%=Request.QueryString["ProjID"]%>" />
<param name="quality" value="high" />
[Code] .....
As you can see, it pulls the "ProjID" querystring and is supposed to pass it into Flash. I have executed the page and viewed the source to make sure it is pulling the querystring appropriately, as shown below:
Code:
Select all<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="[URL]"
width="756" height="433" id="gallery" align="middle">
<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" />
<param name="allowFullScreen" value="false" />
<param name="movie" value="gallery.swf?ProjID=1" />
[Code] .....
I used "1" for the value, and "1" was what is in the page source, so I know it's at least getting that far. As for what is in the ActionScript, here it is:
Code:
Select allvar myProj = root.loaderInfo.parameters.ProjID;
var myGalleryXML2 = new XML();
myGalleryXML2.ignoreWhite = true;
myGalleryXML2.load("[URL]"+myProj);
myGalleryXML2.onLoad = function(success) {
if(success){
_root.myImages = myGalleryXML2.firstChild.childNodes;
_root.myImagesTotal = myImages.length;
It is supposed to load XML from an ASPX page that builds the XML from a database depending on the project ID (ProjID). If I hardcode the variable to "1" (or whatever other ProjID), it works and the correct images are shown for the respective ID. However, I can not get it to pass the ID from the URL to the Flash file. I've even tried "_root.ProjID", and a QueryString class I found through Google, as well as passing the ProjID through Param tags as FlashVars with no luck.

I'm attempting to use mod_rewrite to clean up the URL's to a flash video player. First,here is the original URL that I'm trying to rewrite to:library/player.swf?path=path-to-file.flvhe above URL works perfectly fine when I access it directly. I have coded the swf to automatically grab the path parameter and play the video. No problems there. Now here is my attempted rewrite rule:RewriteRule ^player/(.+)$ library/player.swf?path=$1 [QSA,L]When visiting the url player/path-to-file.flv, I get the swf but no video loads. I set up a popup window in the flash to tell me the path name for debugging purposes, and it looks like the path isn't being passed at all.On the other hand if I use the exact same rule but point it to a test.php instead of player.swf, the test.php file is able to echo out the parameter

View 4 RepliesWhat is auto-kern, and why has it stopped me from using vars in my input text boxes?
View 3 RepliesIf I load an SWF with a query string at the end, like:
object.swf?this=that
then "this" is properly recognized as a flashvar within the flash object.But, if I set "this" via mod_rewrite, as in:
RewriteRule ^object$ lib/object.swf?this=that [QSA,NC,L]
then "this" is undefined.I even wrote a little PHP script to dump the contents of $_GET (changed the rewrite target temporarily), and I'm positive that the rewrite rule is working.
mod_rewrite clarification:
To demonstrate the strangeness of the problem, let me temporarily change the rewrite target to "object.php", so the rule now reads:
RewriteRule ^object$ lib/object.php?this=that [QSA,NC,L]
I created object.php in the /lib/ directory with the following line:
<?php echo '<pre>'.print_r($_GET, true).'</pre>'; ?>
Then, when I navigate to /object, I get the following output:
Array
(
[this] => that
)
This demonstrates that the rewrite rule is working as expected.Still, when I change the rewrite target back to the SWF, "this" is not recognized as a flashvar.(I'd definitely check the rewrite log to make sure, but I don't think I have access to it on the Media Temple server I'm using.)
