ActionScript 3.0 :: Get The URLvariables From The Addressbar
Sep 28, 2011I like to get the URLvariables from the addressbar. For ex: [URL] i need to get aID and bID values into flash.

Code:
var sendData:URLVariables = new URLVariables();
var sendRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest();

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
[code]....
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");
Is it possible to assign variables dynamically to URLVariables?
View 6 RepliesI have tried several different ways, but it seems that it never sends the empty array value to the server
_vars["myObject[array_list][]"] = null;
_vars["myObject[array_list][]"] = [];
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]
View 1 RepliesI 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";

[code]the external swf runs fine. This can only mean that the issue is being caused by trying to send the variables, or am I missing something?
View 3 RepliesI'm uploading files to my server using File.upload();. My php file looks like this:

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()
[code].....
I'm sending some data through an instance of URLVariables. I define it in a loop but basically it goes like this:
Name="blah";
E-Mail="blah@blah.com";
Phone="1223";
[code].....
Is there a way to return URLVariables from a function
eg:
function varsLoaded():URLVariables {
var variables:URLVariables = new URLVariables();
variables.var1 = 'string1';
[Code]....
Now what I would like to do is assign "variables" to a variable:
var theVar = varsLoaded();
trace(theVar.var1);
Obviously the code above isn't correct; just to illustrate what I'm hoping to accomplish.
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...
ActionScript Code:
//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 );}
Is it possible to use the underscore character in a URLVariables variable name? For instance, the following code outputs "my%5Fusername=foo" instead of "my_username=foo".
import flash.net.URLVariables;
var variables : URLVariables = new URLVariables("my_username=foo");
trace(variables.toString());
Just as in the trace, the "%5F" shows up instead of the underscore in the request. Is there some way I can get the underscore character to show up instead?
I am having trouble creating an email form in Flash. The PHP is working fine and the email sends if I query the php in a browser but when I pass the variables from Flash the email address that is passed gets ****ed up.
For example: the text I enter in the text field: bobloblaw@football.com what is sent to php: bobloblaw%40football%2Ecom
I realise this is probably to do with urlencoding and I have tried escape() on the strings
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 am passing a simple string from a PHP file, that looks like this.[code]I am asking flash to prase this data and display each field in a text field, it seems as it is failing at the myTextLoader.dataFormat = URLLoaderDataFormat.VARIABLES; because when i take it out or switch the dataFormat to TEXT, it does not produce that error.[code]Any Suggestion as to what needs to be changed in order for it to work, i tried to trace stuff, change the variable scope etc.

View 2 RepliesIn the following example (yes, I am coding on my timeline while I try to work this out - I know, I know) I am loading an SWF in an HTML page and then directing the SWF to get the query parameters from the current URL. The query parameter will contain the source for the video to play.
This seems straight forward to me but I cannot get myURL = urlVars.videoloc; to work. More specifically, urlVars.videoloc seems to be undefined rather than holding the query parameter from the URL. All other variables are correct; both wholeURL and urlVars are defined.[code]...

When you login you type in your username and password and gain access to course.Down the line you play games and take tests. Using URLVariables you post and update a mysql dbase thought a php script.HOWEVER, at the moment I am cheating - I am passing in the username through the game with the scores.The reason is that I don't know where to keep that username when I first logged on. It should be kept somewhere as some kind of global variable.Perhaps it is kept in the container movie when we first gain access to course.
View 8 RepliesI'm loading info from a mySQL database through Flash/AS3 --> PHP then back to Flash. I'm not really certain if we're going to know how many times to try and load from the database. I'm getting an error from URLVariables right now from the constructor (Decode ()) when Php sends me nothing. (I'm out of database info) I would like to error handle this so my program doesn't crash. I looked it up in the documentation and it says that the constructor ( Decode () ) throws "Error" when this particular type of thing occurs.
View 4 RepliesI really don't understand why this won't work? I've made a test which sends some POST data to a script on my page which works fine.[code]
