ActionScript 3.0 :: Passing A Variable To MovieClip

Jul 30, 2009

I am trying to send a value from one of my xml nodes (<marker>) by declaring it in a function 'showData' as a variable 'XMLMarker'. If I trace this value (XMLmarker) it returns the right data found in the node <marker> (which is 'myMarker_mc'). However, I need to tell the stage that myMarker_mc is a MovieClip. 'PROBLEM' stated in the code below.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Passing A Variable To MovieClip?

I am trying to send a value from one of my xml nodes (<marker>) by declaring it in a function 'showData' as a variable 'XMLMarker'. If I trace this value (XMLmarker) it returns the right data found in the node <marker> (which is 'myMarker_mc').

Code:

stop();
var placesXML:XML =
<places>
<place name= "Yogyakarta">

[code]....

why do you want a variable to hold the value in the node <marker>, when that value is identical for each node, ie. it is always 'myMarker_mc', so why not just directly declare the variable 'xmlMark' as myMarker_mc. The reason is; the value in some of the <marker> nodes will soon be changing to 'myMarker_mc2' - a slightly different movieClip which I may need to call depending upon which place @name is chosen.This is the new output thrown up by the variable XMLmarkers

Code:
<marker>
myMarker_mc
<myText>

ActionScript 3.0 :: Flash Passing MovieClip Object As Variable

Sep 20, 2010

I'm relatively new to Flash and ActionScript and have a problem with the following code I'm putting together:

Code:
// creating a new testmclip object
var testmclip = new testmclip(); // creating a new testmclip object
/* create a new pop up menu
- sending the testmclip as var and "test" as label */
popupmenu = new Menu ([path: testmclip, label: "test"]);

I'm trying to send a movieclip object created in one class, to a different class - for the latter class to add as it's child. The code was originally Kevin Hoyts Android Component for Menu and MenuItem [URL] ... but in that the path for the menuitem was a path which loaded from url or relative path --> this I can't do with flash...I think.

CS3 Passing A Variable Through A URL Into A SWF

Aug 22, 2009

I have a flash file that has an XML driven menuing system to select and play various FLVs. I want to be able to craft different URLs to open the swf and start playing different FLVs. (The others will be accessible from the menu once the sfw is opened, but I am looking to control what plays on opening, dependent on what link a user click.) Not really sure about the best way to get the selection into the swf.

I'm trying to find a way of using variables to make it work or maybe just a simple gotoAndPlay function but with no luck. Can you send a variable via loadmovie function?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Passing Value To Global Variable

Aug 11, 2009

I have a movieclip on the stage, and in that clip I have a button that is supposed to turn a global variable from true to false, but the compile tells me:
1119: Access of possibly undefined property root through a reference with static type Class.

When I use this code:
Code:
function closeMSN(event:MouseEvent):void{
this.visible = false
Stage.MSNOpen = false
}

I know how to reference the movieclip itself by this, but how do I change the value of a variable on the main stage, from inside the movie clip?

Php :: Passing Variable FROM Flash To HTML?

Mar 7, 2011

I have a rather simple flash application users can make a quick username when connected, and the username is created inside the flash swf.

Now, I have a cron job deleting inactive usernames every ten minutes (on my mysql database where these usernames are all stored and accessed by the other people online) which is fine. But it can still get cluttered up if a bunch of people sign off at once, there is still that 10 minute window before the cron job clears them.

The users have an option to click log out in the flash application which is fine and works great. But of course many choose not to click log off they just click the browser x.

I've looked into onbeforeunload and jquery's .unload but I still need a way to get the username variable that's IN flash INTO the HTML, then use a php script to run the delete username mysql query.

If not, any insight on how I might pass the username variable to the html to hold onto it after the user makes their username so it can be involved with the .unload function running the php script?

EDIT::::: Maybe is there a way to create a UNIQUE string of numbers with php then pass that var to flash to include with the mysql row then since i already have that var since it was created on the html side, just along with the unload, have it delete the row that has that unique id?

If anyone things this idea would be the best approach, and if i used something like md5(uniqid(microtime()) . $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] . $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']) to make a random iD how could i go about storing the result in a var i could place in the flash vars param then again in the jquery unload or javascript onbeforeunload if that would be better .
