I have something like the following code:
Code:
var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest('child.swf');
var vars:URLVariables = new URLVariables();
vars.foo = 'bar';
[Code]....
but when I change URLRequestMethod.GET to URLRequestMethod.POST, I'm unable to. why, and if there's a workaround?
What are the differences between POST and GET methods of a URLRequestMethod? In what context should we use them?

View 1 RepliesI'm having the weirdest problem. I have a drawing app that is supposed to send the image to the server via URLRequest once the user has been passive for 2 seconds.
It works fine inside flash, until I take it to the browser. I've tried many different things but the URLRequest just won't fire, however if I put a button on the stage and attach the same URLRequest function to it, then it works perfectly.
Is this somekind of flash security issue that you can't do URLRequests without mouse interaction???
I am using LoaderInfo params in my Flash movie. Is it possible to specify sample flashvars in Flash CS4 during design time for debugging???
View 1 RepliesI want to get some flashVars parameters, but have a hard time getting them into any variable.
When using the following code :

the values are shown inside the SWF as expected. However, when adding a trace in the for loop, nothing is there.
Why is this, and how should I retrieve the variables?
Flash gives access to query-string parameters via calling loaderInfo.parameters() method.And I couldn't delete the field on the object. IS it possible to delete some fields in the object? how can I do this?

View 1 RepliesI have a facebook application where the user choose 4 of his friends and then it creates a video (swf) with the pictures of your friends in it (loaded via xml). So I need to share this video on the user timeline. Everything works fine but the video is not embedded in the post on his timeline, there is only a post with the link to the page in it.The weird thing is, if I post the url directly on my timeline, the video is embedded, but not if the same link is posted via the application.here is my code called by the share button in js :
function postToFeed() {
var obj = {

What are the differences between POST and GET methods of a URLRequestMethod ? In what context should we use them?
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to use URLRequestMethod.GET to get some xml from our website.In ie7 the onComplete never fires so it gets stuck but it works great in every other browser. I know that to fix a similar problem with preloaders you change the onComplete to a ProgressEvent and check to see if bytesLoaded == bytesTotal.This doesn't seem to work for URLRequestMethod.GET because when bytesLoaded = bytesTotal it doesn't mean that you have your data. Is there another way to check to see when the data is finished?
View 7 RepliesDoes 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 );}
Im building a reservation form, using actionscript and php. I use sendAndLoad to send variables to php via POST, which returns a different HTTP POST response in case of sucess or not.
Is there anyway to "read" HTTP POST responses with actionscript?

Maybe I am doing this the hard way with eval, is there an easier way, such as passing an array of post variables?
i have a swf and i send parameter to this from html. when i load this swf directly to the html page, i can take paramters by using 'this.root.loaderInfo'However, i load this swf into another swf and i load second swf to the html. by this way, i cant take paramters using 'this.root.loaderInfo'. what should i do for this? what is the root and parent relationship between swfs that one within the other one.
View 1 RepliesAs a part of a class I have been asked to place a preloader in front of my projects. I can't believe how tough this is. I get the best results when I use an URLRequest, but I want to understand the timeline.When I put a working preloader in front of my movie it doesn't start "ticking" until some middle point like 20%, or 70% depending on the file size of the movie. When I trace the bytes.Loaded it doesn't start counting until 700K or so.I have looked at several different preloaders and none seem to work as well as the tutorial. Can someone direct me to an "easy to understand" source that explains the loaderInfo / contentLoaderInfo class?
View 3 RepliesI'm developing a flash file that that will be uploaded to dozens of websites which I have no control over. I found out that one of them seems to be gzipping the swf, which is causing loaderInfo.bytesTotal to be zero. This screws up the loading animation. I tried a workaround of just testing if bytesTotal is zero, if so simply proceed. That doesn't work because, as expected, not all the necessary data has loaded yet. Alternatively I can put a timed delay of whatever the expected load time is, and hope that it covers all the bases.
Does anyone have any other suggestions? Ideally there's an alternative way to define bytesTotal, but I haven't found one. FYI this is somewhat related to this question: Why loaderInfo.bytesTotal is Zero But I can't do the htaccess suggestion because I don't have control over the other websites, some of which may be on windows servers anyway.
I'm loading an image with Loader class, adding a listener to its LoaderInfo object like this:
ActionScript Code:
var loader:Loader = new Loader();
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, ioErrorHandler);
var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest("myUrl.jpg");
loader.load(req);
Then of course I have a function ioErrorHandler. How can I get the url within that error handler?
The IOErrorEvent doesn't have something like a url property, nore does the LoaderInfo has one. Well, I just though of getting my Loader object back within the error handler like this:
ActionScript Code:
function ioErrorHandler(event:Event){
trace(event.target.loader);
}
But well... I get runtime error #2099. The Loader object is not available in ioErrorEvent. Do I really need to parse the url from IOErrorEvent.message?
how to use LoaderInfo.getLoaderInfoByDefinition(obj)??? Docs say it wants a "SWF File Object"... I tried feeding it a loaded movieclip. hoping to get the clips loaderInfo, but it simply returned the loaderInfo for the stage, not the loaded clip...

Edit: Forgot to add, I am reading the first 100 bytes of the loaderInfo, picked this number arbitrarily. Any suggestions on a safe length, long enough to ensure I can retrieve the metadata but short enough to keep it quick.
This is my case
1: I have two swf : a.swf n b.swf
2: I can't do any coding on a.swf but I can code on b.swf
3: b.swf loads a.swf
4: a.swf takes some params from html
5: Since b.swf now loads a.swf,how can I set loaderinfo params of a.swf from b.swf?
So is there any way I can set loaderinfo params from loading swf to the loaded swf.
I have built a music community website, obviously members can sign up for an account, and upload mp3 files to their accounts.Once registration is complete, the php script creates a folder in the members directory on my server with their unique id, then when they go and upload an mp3, it uploads it to their folder and automatically creates a playlist.xml file for the song(s) I have a prebuilt flash mp3 player that I got from developphp.com, his as3 code calls for a static directory for the audio and xml, now since the flash player will live in the root, and the xml and audio will live in the members/$id folders, I am told to use flashvars and loaderinfo.parameters to do what I need, and that is to load the xml and mp3 files into the player for the profile that is being viewed at that moment, so lets look at what I've put into the html object and embed.
lets use profile #7
<param name="movie" value="flplayer.swf?<?php print"$id/playlist.xml" ?>">
<embed src="flplayer.swf?<?php print "$id/playlist.xml" ?>"> (please tell me if I have done this incorrectly)
now if we go to the profile.php?id=7 page, thius is what the page source looks like:
<param name="movie" value="flplayer.swf?7/playlist.xml">
<embed src="flplayer.swf?7/playlist.xml>">
now here is where I am stuck, as I said the flash mp3 player urlLoader and URLRequest, and I have been searching for days to figure out what I am supposed to do to get the player to pick up on the flash vars, here is the top part of the as3 code where it calls for the mp3 and the xml.
stop();
var myFormat:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
myFormat.color = "0xFFFFFF";
list.setRendererStyle("textFormat", myFormat);

I have a problem with Flex module. I want to access url variables by this.loaderInfo.url, i call a function in createionComplete handler of module and sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. (Can't access... null). Any suggestions?
This function is called in creationComplete handler of module. And although it throws error window, the alert with url shows and contains url of module.
private function checkModuleUrl():void
{
var url:String = this.loaderInfo.url;
Alert.show(url);

i have a file named: 394354.html. In it is the following code:
codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/s...ersion=9,0,0,0" width="900" height="900" id="LoaderExample" align="middle">
<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" />
<param name="allowFullScreen" value="false" />
[Code]...
That is part of the source in the LoaderExample.swf. And all I get is a "Parameter text must be non-null" error. I've alternatively tried the FlashVars method using additional <param> and <object> tags but i get the same error. What is going on with Actionscript 3? is this a bug? What am I doing wrong? Do the 5 or 6 tutorials i've read leave some important detail out ?
I have a class that loads a handful of external swfs, and a preloader class to handle them all as a single object.I was having some strange problems with the loading process and tried tracing the urls to see which file was bugging. For my surprise, almost all loaderInfo objects reported theirs url as null.With a bit of testing I came to the conclusion that they only report some url when the file is almost completely loaded. The docs say something about "possibly wrong urls" before progress events, but that would be in cases where redirect happen, and everything here is local with simulate download option. Also, "event.target.url" inside the very progress event handler reports null unless the target's loading is almost done. Unfortunately I don't have any piece of code with less than a hundred lines to show. But is there any undocumented behavior, known bug or common coding error that generates such situation?
