I want to open a php page by linking to it from Flash, however I need to pass a variable to it to view the data.I have been trying this unsuccessfully:
ActionScript Code:
var url:String = "data.php?studentID="+_dataModel.studentID;
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest(url);
[code].....
Is possible use navigateToUrl() passing some variables to the url itself ?Suppose that the url requested opens another page that contains a swf file.How can i retrieve these variables ?
View 1 RepliesQuestion, Is this the correct way to send multiple variables in AS3 to javascript?[code]...
View 5 RepliesI really need to send a variable via POST method to an URL and the navigate to it. navigateToURL sends variables using GET method, although I specified POST. URLLoader sends variables using POST method, but does not navigate to the URL.
View 4 RepliesI have a swf with an input text box and a button. When the button is clicked, I need it to open another swf in a new window on a different domain and pass the variables to a dynamic text box in the new window. I looked at local connect but I wasn't sure it would work because the two windows wouldn't necessarily be loaded at the same time and they are on different domains.
View 4 RepliesI am loading images into a movie clip dynamically from an XML file. Based on what image the user clicks, I would like to be able to open a separate window, displaying a different image. Ideally, I'd pass the variable of which image was selected to the new open window.I've done some research online, and am thinking I'm making this harder than it needs to be.
Actionscript from main movie
Code:
chosenImage.onPress = function() {[code]......
I've also seen where I could possibly pass a variable through ASP.NET, but am experiencing the same errors when trying to pass the variable. I suppose I could embed the popup.swf file in a new .aspx page, that would probably be acceptable.
I'm using IE 8 and trying to open an HTML file. All files are either local or ran on a server. Problem is I use the URLVariables object, and they still won't get passed. for example:
Code:
var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest("Y:/htmlFile.html");
var urlVars:URLVariables = new URLVariables();

I just want to show the contents of the input data in Movie Clip Movie Clip A into B which is still in one layer.
View 2 RepliesI'm trying to develop a site map, which draws a tick over the sections of my app that have been completed. I've figured out how to draw the tick and how to pass variables from root to the MovieClip that the function is in.
To make the tick appear only after an mc has been watched, I tried setting a variable equal to 1 ino the last frame of the MovieClip, and telling the function to run if that variable was 1.
I'm not getting compiler errors, but I'm also not getting the tick. And I'm definitely completing the Movie

Code:
var xcoord = 125;
var ycoord = 300;
var WaterComplete = 0;

Creating a flash project where users can visit the site, and turn off/on objects in a house (ie. lights, tv, computer, etc.) The next user who will visit the house in the website, will see what lights or house appliances were left on. Flash variables are passed to PHP, and those variables are saved in an XML file. (For testing to see what is being saved to the XML file, on each click --vars.xml opens.) In the vars.xml file, I see that the house objects that were last turned on--are saved in the XML file- But in the SWF file, only one of the objects that are listed in the XML are turned ON. Only the last object that was clicked on would show ON--not all the objects in the XML file.)

This php script displays the top 20 users from a database based on their hit count. The script passes their avatar (image), username and link, as well as total hits.
I wanted to create a flash file with one movieclip that would parse the php file and display the results in an i++ fashion, so that I could make changes to only one mc instead of 20, when needed.
I have tried making a dynamic text field an mc, and assigning the loadvars object to that mc... but can't get any information to display... and I know the php file works like a charm.
in my main movie, i have done a survey, see my previous thread which collects data from a series of radioButton groups. i can display this data using dynamic text boxes no problem, however i also wish to display this data in a separate swf which has been loaded into the main movie via a movieclip using
Code:
_root.cm_handler.loadMovie("movie2.swf");
i got this working in AS2 and PHP, but i can't use the VAR option on the dynamic text ... so how would i do this in AS3 ?
here's the simple code
using AS2 and PHP 5.2.6
ActionScript Code:
//
// create an object to store the variables
varReceiver = new LoadVars();
// load the variables from the text file
[code]....
and the PHP Code in info.php
PHP Code:
<?php$fName = "nuno";$lname = "mira";$age = 24;// echo or print the variablesecho ("&fName=$fName&lName=$lName&age=$age&");?>

View 5 RepliesI have a flash file that I made that displays a scrolling newsfeed (I'll call it newsfeed.swf)... I published it to an SWF. Now, I created a new flash file that I would like to use to show many instances of newsfeed.swf. In my new flash file, I have the following code:
this.onLoad=function(){
mcNewsfeed.loadMovie(http://www.whatever.com/newsfeed.swf?s=MSFT);
}
In theory, when newsfeed.swf starts up, the ?s=MSFT variable should be passed in at the _root level such that I should be able to reference it and build the newsfeed to be displayed dynamically. I've tried several different things, but no matter what I do, the following code (the _root.s part) in newsfeed.swf returns "undefined":
newsfeedURL = "http://finance.yahoo.com/rss/headline?s=" + _root.s
I would prefer to not have to pass XML files between the swf files or use system objects as that would add a level of complexity I'm not ready to deal with (I'm a total noob at this stuff)...
So, I read the tutorial about passing variables by changing the url of the .swf with the following code:
Code:
if (movie==1 or movie=="") {
trace("default");
}
[Code]....
My question is, is there anything special if I want it to respond to the url of a .php page? So, if I have a page that ends in "?page_id=2" could I do the same thing or does it have to be an .swf?
Code:
if (page_id==1 or page_id=="") {
trace("default");
}
[Code]....
i have even hardcoded in data and it wont pass through. i have 5 other variables that pass through and i cant get these other 2 to pass.
View 1 RepliesI have been trying to pass a variable to a SWF. From the research I have done it seems pretty straight forward, but I cannot seem to get it to work. I am wondering if it has something to do with the way the SWF is added to the HTML page. Would someone take a look at this for me?

how do I know if my flash form has sent its variables to asp? My code is:
onClipEvent (load) {
submit_btn.onRelease = function() {

emailform.var2 = var2.text;
emailform.sendAndLoad("form.asp",emailform,"GET");

What I have is a list of videos (FLV) and when I click on avideo name (button) I want the menu page to close, open anotherpage (the video interface page) and play the video that was chosen.I do not want the video to play on the menu page but on it's owninterface page. I am guessing I will need to save the String namein an outside file for the video class to grab. Once the video hasfinished playing I want to go back to the menu page.

View 2 RepliesI am using UILoader to load a .swf file. My .swf file takes a querystring parameter, like myapp.swf?id=12344
Now, when I specify the source for the UILoader in the other project as "myapp.swf?id=12344", I am getting the following error: Error #2044: Unhandled ioError:. text=Error #2035: URL Not Found.
I am trying to load an swf that takes some query-string parameters in another swf. I am loading UILoader to do that. How else can I do this so it will work?
