View 2 RepliesIs it possible to pass native JavaScript objects such as arrays and hash-map-like objects to Flash Player with SWFObject?
I basically need to pass an array of objects to Flash from JavaScript in the Flash variables, so this is my code:
[Code]....
When I get the object in Flex, I simply get a String that looks like this: "[Object object], [Object object]" which leads me to believe that my array is being serialized into a String before entering Flash. Is there any known workaround?
And yes, I do need to pass Flash variables in this manner, since they'll key off some loading which is necessary to do before the application starts.
so here's where I load my XML into FLash....
Code:
_global.xmlFinishedLoading = false;
my_xml = new XML();[code]....
I want the .xml file to be a variable I set from the HTML in the OBJECT tag, so that I can make it more dynamic. How?
Code:
my_xml.load(_global.baseURL + "slideshow.xml");
I would like to update the flashvars value argument to view another video:
<param name='flashvars' value='movieId=1002' />
I found out that I can make it work in Firefox by updating the parameter with the extra step of readding the whole flash contents.
$("param[name=flashvars]").attr("value", "movieId=33");
$("embed").attr("flashvars", "movieId=33");
$(".root").append($("#video"));
But this does not work in IE8 as the browser won't refresh the flash contents. Any ideas on how to reload the flash contents without external dependencies like swfobject.js?
Could you please tell me how this photo animation effect is achieved - see the pictures that slide seamlessly to the left every say 3 seconds (the pictures just below the BIGSTOCKPHOTO logo).. Site- www.bigstockphoto.com
I have noted this effect being used in many other sites.. And none of them seem to employ flash for making this. Please let me know whether this is just JS or whether its purely a CSS based effect, and probably a place where i can read on how to make this.
I'm having some trouble with the code below. the flash player has a default volume slider, but I want to use the jQuery slider to change the volume. the volume value(nr) is changing while I move the slider, but the volume of the song doesn't.

$(document).ready(function(){

I have a flash application that needs to send a http request to the server which will disconnect the existing session immediately. I have a tried a few options but none is reliable.Option #1: On "onbeforeunload" event send a http request from inside the flash applications. Fallacy: This does not work because as soon as the browser is closed the flash player unloads the app and hence the communication breaks.Option #2: On "onbeforeunload" event send a http request using XMLHTTPRequest in ajax. This works fine in IE but doesnt work in Firefox. When i debugged the http req in httpfox it threw "NS_BINDING_ABORTED" error which i think means that request was cancelled due to page unload.

I want to constantly reload data from a text file on a website, and make that data the .x property of a movieclip. Like this: movieclip.x = int(externallyLoadedData);I know how to do this, but I want it so I can ftp rewrite the text file with a different number, and the flash movie updates live without having to refresh/restart. How would I do this?
View 1 RepliesI have a page that loads loads of swfs*. I'm loading in them all at the same time, Sequentially which is slowing down the intro animation. Is there a way to load swfs sequentially? Or if not load them on a timer (half a sec would do the trick I think)
*there lots of different dynamically generated Flex graphs so it's not possible to have them all in one.

I am deploying Updates via SCUP and SCCM to hundreds of Computers. Fortunately Adobe provides an SCCM Update Catalog for both Adobe Flash ActiveX and Adobe Flash Plugin. But now my Problem: After publishing the Update via SCCM, the client is not supposed to be interfered with the Update Progress (which is working) I figured the Updater works like this: First SCCM checks if a Update needs to be deployed, if this is the case, The Flash Updater begins. First the old Flash Version is beeing uninstalled. But now: if the Client has a Browser Window (IE, or Firefox) open, the Updater is not able to install the new Flash Version and quits with an Error. This leaves the Client PC without any Flash (because its being uninstalled before) How can I prevent Flash being uninstalled due to the Update progress not working while a Browser window is open?

I've got a movieclip, which has got a dynamic text element.The movieclip uses a package for its codeThe package if obviously derived from the MovieClip classI've got a timer, that updates the dynamic text field every second.When debugging the code, I see that the timer works well.

View 2 Replieshow i can to know if the value of a FlashVar (in as3) has changed. For example: if i inicialize the flashVar with "1" and after set the flashVar to "0", everyOne knows that this flashVar has changed. the problem is if i have the FlashVar value setting in "2" and i set the flashvar value to "2", again.
There are any way to know if this flashVars has changed his value for the same value?

View 2 RepliesWe need a second parameter added that sets the destination/target for the link. The default/current is _blank but we also need to be able to set this to nothing so it opens in the same window. Can you try adding the second parameter to the flashvars list and use this to set the target for the link.
my html is:
<object width="296" height="88">
<param name="movie" value="../soccer_homepage_AM2.swf" />
<param name="FlashVars" value="url=/mainpage_gif.html" />
[code]....
How to I add that second parameter of opening in same window to the flashvar?I believe you separate the additional one by using a & but am unsure exactly what to put?Do I also have to change the ActionScript in the original fla file? This is set to _blank but I believe they want it to stay that way but have the option of adding _self or whatever it needs to be in the Flashvar when needed.
My ActionScript 3.0 is:
btnLink.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, buttonSymbol_click);
function buttonSymbol_click(evt:MouseEvent):void {
var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest(stage.loaderInfo.parameters["url"]);
navigateToURL(req, "_blank");
}
I'm passing in a variable from my FlashVar parameters: gameToken, which will control the visibility of several objects through out my movie. The objects are in different frames and all have different labels: review_btn, introReview_btn, endGame_btn. gameToken is being randomly generated by the clients 3D environment, and then passed in the embed code. gameToken would look something like this:
[Code]...
I had some success using this method before, but only for a single object. Now when I try and repeat the method with the various other objects all I'm getting is a headache. At no point in my movie does gameToken ever get set to anything other than null (I'm not testing within my webspace yet).
I am trying to embed a variable title into flash by way of flashvars. It works great in Firefox and Opera so I know it works, but for some unknown reason I just cant get it to work in IE8

Below is decription of the file
1. I have a flash file which is loading php variable through flash vars.
2. The flash var variable contains the .txt filename in which data is kept.
3. When I open the php page the swf loads with variable having .txt filename and value containing swf path.
4. I have created timer in flash which check for change of value.
5. When value changes the other flash file loads.
6. All this works fine in all browsers except IE 7

View 2 RepliesIs it possible to load xml as a flashvar? Basically I want to pull information from a server for a news ticker, but I want the info to be available as or before flash loads so that it appears to be instantaneous. Can xml be passed in as a flash var or do I need to break down the feed into individual vars that get passed in?
I'm not talking about passing a URL to flash, I mean that actual XML. Basically I just want all the data there and loaded on the same page as the flash so there's no load times.
Is there something I can do to make it so that a flashvar can contain any sort of punctuation and not break the html code? Like some sort of encompassing brackets or something? Right now if I try to include some long strings that have quote marks or other characters that could have some sort of meaning in the code, then it tends to interpret it as code rather than a string. Anything I can do?
View 1 RepliesDoes anyone know how to pass a value to a child swf, loaded into a parent swf, from the parent swf as flashvars?
Have an old AS2 project that accepted flashvars from a HTML file it was in, but now it has to be loaded into an AS3 parent. Just need to know a way to pass some values to the AS2 swf that it is expecting as flashvars.
let's say we have some arrays
Code:
var ro = new Array("1");var en = new Array("2");var it = new Array("3");
and we call the movie with some flashvars one of them language=en
so we asign it it to a var selectedLanguage = language
i know how to get the values of flashvars so no problem here
is posible to call something like trace(selectedLanguage[0]) and return 2
I`m currently working on a website in flash which is going to be kinda like a blog. The swf loads in in two files for each "post", one image and one text file. I already know how to do that. But the website has to be update able without using flash. How would you do this? I thought i maybe could have one folder named "posts" and in that folder i could have folders named something like "post1", "post2" etc. And the post with the highest number would be the newest one. Something like this:
Can flash read directories on the server? (but i cant get the search to work. Neither in Chrome nor IE. I just get HTTP error 500)
