I'm very new to flex and to flash in general. I walked trough one of the exercises in "flex in a week", specifically the MVC exercise which talks about how to seperate the view to a different component and later on send him the data as one of his fields.
I had no problems in the exercise and everything worked BUT, when I tried to do it on my own code it doesn't work.here is my relevant parts of the code:

I have a main mxml file (flex4) and want to pass a parameter (user_name) to a component in a directory called components. When I run the program, the user_name is NOT being sent from the main to the component file. (Interestingly, if you make the component visible, you can see the parameter has been passed).
I have hacked much larger files down to get the following two files:
Main
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<s:Application
xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx" minWidth="955" minHeight="600"

I havent found quite what I want elsewhere or at least am not accomplished enough to adapt I'm trying to create a project that shows radio stations with logo, listen button etc The datasource is an xml file with child tags like 'name','image' and 'listen' for each parent, 'station'. I access this data via the main application with creationComplete="radioService.send()"

Im trying to use dynamic SQL tables on my PHP server so I need to pass the table name to the PHP script. I don't understand why the Data Management system that sets up CRUD won't allow this extra parameter. It says it can only have one input: item. I can get all records, but when I try to create, update, or delete I get an error.
Or is there another way I can pass the tablename variable to the php file before I call any functions?
We have implemented a Flash photo slideshow on our site and it works just fine for most of our users. Whenever the xml.load(success) returns false I have the Flash email me a debug report. For the life of me I can not find a common thread between all of these people having problems with the Flash. I don't think it's a cross-domain issue because it works for most people, and I have the crossdomain.xml files where they should be.

I'm having trouble retrieving the value of a multi-select list component. It always traces the last value selected, but I need to trace all values to parse the data.
I've been using trace(myList.value);

titleDims="[{Month: comboBox1.text, Year:comboBox2.text, Sales Order:comboBox3.text}]"

View 1 RepliesI've been given a video url that I want to pull into an the flvplayback component. The url for the video I've been given is:The problem is when I set the contentPath with the above url the component won't load the video with the extra parameters ?var_log=102|441100001-1|- added as it says the path must end with .flvI am asumming that the video provider needs this extra var/parameter to be called in order to track the number of video requests, in which case I will need to keep this in.

Any example of the Actionscript code structure needed to pass a variable name from Flash to a Cold Fusion Component using ActionScript?
View 1 RepliesI am trying to build a Calculator used in health circles to project next year's profit and loss etc. I am using flash cs3 and actionscript2.My flash project is based on accordion component with 6 child panes, each pane having a movie clip with input text, dynamic text etc.I have a couple of push buttons that has click eventhandlers taking care of calculations . All the calculative functions are in the actions layer frame 1.I need help in displaying the same calculated fields as dynamic text in a new movie clip in another layer before printing the same movie clip.The present situation is like this, I am able to calculate all the fields, but when i click a button to show a new movie clip with all the calculated fields, all the variables are displayed as "undefined".
the dynamic variables in the new movieclip is referenced correctly i guess, i use pp_acvcfy = myacc.overheads.acv_cfy; where myacc is the accordion component , overhead the child pane and acv_cfy the dynamic text inside the pane 'overhead'. pp_acvcfy is the dynamic text in the new movie clip. Please help
In my flex app there are a few custom components. I want to create instance of these components at runtime and assign them properties by reading in a config file.

View 1 RepliesI would like to pass my SWF file an amount of data (textual).Is there some limit? I am talking about thousands of characters longI know the simple way of file.swf?data="mydata" but I know that you can pass data via "flash vars", when you embed the file in html(<object> How do I pass data in that way? Is it better to just read from a text file?

View 1 RepliesSo I'm trying to make a project with multiple rss feeds on one page. All the rss feeds are in one xml file. this works fine but now I need to retrieve rssdata from each rsslink.
To do that I want a variable to be filled up with the rssData that I retrieve via an external actionscript file.
So in my main actionscript I would have something like this:
ActionScript Code:
var rssLoader:RssLoader = new RssLoader;
var rssData = /* THIS IS WHERE I WANT MY RSS DATA TO COME */

The movie runs fine and shows no errors, but when my browser opens forms.html the data is not there. I assume this is because I'm using navigateToURL(new URLRequest("form.html) and therefore opening a new instance of form.html rather than the one I've already loaded into flash. Am I right? and if so how do I open the pre-loaded version? Or....am I way off and have failed to understand something quite basic?
A map of the US comes up and users will select where they work, before getting to the next page, which is a form where they fill out the rest of their contact information. The Submit button sends the form variables to a php file on a different server which then stores their info in a database and will take the "location" variable from the map (in the previous .swf) to send the user the correct demo map.
My vars from the form post to the PHP and a confirmation e-mail is sent to the user etc. etc. this works fine...i'm just confused as to how to send the location variable that was pre-selected to send along with the form.
Goal: To build an Internet Mapping Site (IMS) using FlashScenario: Using Manifold GIS for the backend. It is a full scale GIS software which easily outputs data (geometry and tabular) into xml. It has built in IMS capabilities, but theWould like to build an IMS using Flash as the front end, and Manifold as backend. How would I set up something where the GUI and display were Flash, the user interacts with the Flash (Pan, Zoom, Selection, Query(SQL)), have Flash fetch that from Manifold via xml, and display the new extent, query results, etc.?
So there would need to be geometry data retrieval and display as well as tabular. For example the user should be able to use a "Zoom by Extent" feature where they draw a rectangle on the map, it returns the coordinates of the box to Manifold, Manifold returns it, etc. On the other hand they need to be able to query the datasets (simple sql queries).I hope this makes some sense. I'm a noob in many aspects to backend so I'm just trying to get a handle on whether this is possible, and what backend needs to be implemented in order to make this happen? Would you know of a possilble better method? Silverlight, etc?
