ActionScript 3.0 :: Passing Parameters From .fla File To .as File?
Jun 27, 2010
I'm building an air app which reads rss feeds from 3 different websites.I have a .fla file with the window controls code and an .as file with the code. In the .fla I have 3 buttons, one for each rss feed, the problem now is where I should put the code to handle with this buttons, in the .fla or in the .as.My idea is to have something like this in the .fla:
ActionScript Code:
b_engadget.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, engadget);
function engadget(evt:MouseEvent):void{
I want to open a .swf file with a parameter for instance test.swf?beer=good and set "good" (the "good" parameter is going to constantly change) as a variable in the script so that I can add it to the stage in the swf file. The problem is I can't seem to figure out how to read the parameter so that it can be placed in the script.
For instance I have it set to:
var beer = ""; on (release) { getURL("http://www.google.com/search?&q="+ beer , "_self"); }
I have a swf that plays in the browser and I would like to give the user an option to open the swf into a stand alone player. The best way I see to do this is to export the swf as a projector file but I can't figure out how to pass any params (flashvars) to the exe file.
I've created a very simple video player that I want to use with many different FLV files on my site. Rather than packaging SWF files with each FLV, I'd like to just design one SWF file and have the corresponding HTML file pass the URL of the FLV as a parameter to the SWF. I've read a lot about passing in parameters from HTML to SWF using AS3, and it seems pretty straightforward. Here's an example of the code I created using Flash CS3 and ActionScript 3.0:
this.loaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,loaderComplete); function loaderComplete(evt:Event):void { //traceText.text = "Loaded";
[Code]....
Note that I'm using the variable "userName" to pass the parameter. Eventually I'd use a variable like "movieURL" to convey the actual URL of the FLV file. In any case, when I run the code, I get ... nothing! Nothing but a blank text box. Both the HTML and SWF files are on my local machine.
If I uncomment the "//traceText.text = Loaded" line, the text box says "Loaded", which would indicate that the event listener is functioning properly.
I currently have a file set up that imports and external text file and displays the parameters in the text file in separate dynamic text fields. No problem there. the text file reads: param1 = 300śm2 = 450śm3 = 500 However, what I want to be able to do, is set parameters that rather than defining text strings, define numeric values. I want to be able to use those numeric values to set the x position of an instance of an animated MC on the stage (animated with actionscript). I need to be able to pass the values from the text file to the actionscript. I tried using the code below and it doesn't work..,
I am trying to build a .xml image scroller using the scroll pane component in CS4.I choose Actionscript3. Drag the component to the stage. Give it an instance name.Then I look for the Parameters that used to be in the properties panel in CS3. Not there anymore.I find that the Components Inspector has Parameters in there now.OK.I need to use ContentPath to tell the component where the .xml file is so it can find the images for the scroller.Can't find 'ContentPath'.How can I point the component to a .xml file?Is there a way of getting Parameters back in with properties - it was so much easier.
I have a .swf file that is not looping although I have added the parameter to do so. It plays just the once, and at the end of the video it stops instead of looping. <div id="video"> <object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" width="211" height="316" id="FLVPlayer" style="visibility: visible; "> <param name="movie" value="FLVPlayer_Progressive.swf"> <param name="quality" value="best"> <param name="wmode" value="opaque"> [Code] .....
system infoflash player version: 10_1_102_65OS: linux debian, 6.0.2web browser: Mozilla Iceweasel 3.5.16problem descriptionI have a flash file that uses parameters to show output on the screen. unfortunately i don't have sources and can't modify/review it.shows correct flash in the browser.but when i try to load flash from fileflash can't read passed parameter and shows invalid outputit's really strange. because when i downgraded flash plugin (from 10_1_102_65 to 9) both protocols works! That is something occurred in the flash player above 9.unfortunately i can't use Flash Player 9 in my production environment so i should resolve the issue with Flash Player 10.
I've created a Flash Animation (CS5, ActionScript 3) and converted it to SWF. The flash animation needs the values of 3 variables (defined in the swf timeline) BEFORE it starts running in my Flex application. I've embedded the swf file using swfloader in Flex, but I need to pass the parameters from Flex into Flash before the animation starts. How do I do this?
The way I have my flex code setup below, the variables are not being updated. I get an exception every time it gets to the changeParams function because it can't find "Type", "Num1", etc.
Part of My flash code:
//These 3 variables need to be populated via Flex BEFORE the animation starts... var Num2:int; var Num1:int;
I'm new to AS3, I have an index.swf that loads thumbnail images from this file (projects_list.xml). When the user clicks on a thumbnail image I want it to pass the selected thumbnails "link" node information to the callFull function. You can see that I have managed to get it to work when I use the real path name. I just can't figure out how to pass the link node text.
Projects_list.xml file set up Code: <project id="0" name="Con" thumb="portfolio/images/con/thumbs/web_1_200pix.jpg" htm="" link="portfolio/xml/desc/desc_con.xml"></project> desc_con.xml file set up (details file) [Code].....
I need to dynamically pass 2 parameter to an swf movie to make it work properly, they are a number and a boolean. To do this I've changed the html page which contains the movie to php, I pass to the page the parameters' values through GET. The values are correctly passed to the page, I've tried to print them.
I build the call to the swf in this way collpreloader.swf?connid=<?php echo $_GET['connid'] ?>&animazione=<?php echo $_GET['animazione'] ?>
collpreloader.swf correctly reads the connid parameter, but animazione results always true.
I've somewhat decided n Anvsoft flv player for a flash website project. There seem to be many of these players free and otherwise, but they seem to all publish for HTML, not from anothe SWF.. The published html is below, and my question is how to call the SWF from Actionscript 2 rather than HTML? I believe I can figure out the rest of the mechanics to a recent education .
So I have an MC that has 6 labels and 6 buttons all with different names. When you click on a button, it needs to direct you to it's appropriate frame label in the MC. Now, since AS 3.0 has done away with inline functions, how the heck do I code it so I don't have a function with a bunch of if statements inside of it in addition to all of my eventListeners that I have to add to each of my buttons? In AS 2.0, I would have done it like so:
With AS 3.0, you have to add eventListeners to each of your buttons where each eventListener calls a function, but how can I write it so I don't have to write a bunch of if statements inside the function the eventListeners are calling in order to test for which button is being clicked? Like so:
I have a scene in flash, where I have two movie clip buttons. Each button is labeled with "over", "down" and "up" state. I am using an URL with a variable at the end: [URL]. When the value is equal 1 I would like to see the "over" state on the first button.
I have following code in AS 3.0
Code: // VARIABLES var button = root.loaderInfo.parameters.button; if(button == null)
[Code]...
But unfortunately it is not working. I created a dynamic text field, where I want to display the value of the variable I am passing, but I dont know why it is not updated, when I type the value in the address bar.
I have an index.swf that loads thumbnail images from this file (projects_list.xml). When the user clicks on a thumbnail image I want it to pass the selected thumbnails "link" node information to the callFull function. You can see that I have managed to get it to work when I use the real path name. I just can't figure out how to pass the link node text.
I have 5 scene's in my flash the first 3 scene are animations. 4 th scene has 4 textinput Box 1 chk box, 1 button.. in this scene i am passing varibles from my form to php file. here is the code For scene4( i called this Inscription form) Its getting datas perfectly.
What I want to do is to pass parameters from the browser to flash. I searched and seems like the best way is FlashVars. However, I have tried different codes and can't get Flash to detect the parameters. I decided to follow the example here and just copy and paste the whole thing (just changing the "main.swf" to my swf name): [URL]. The flash loads, but it only shows "param:" without anything else. I gathered that it probably is a more fundamental problem. (e.g. the way I am debugging, or some settings, etc.) I am using CS4 trial version AS3.
I've got 2 files, my Application and a custom component. In my component I have a httpservice and a string named _requestUrl that is bindable. The httpservice uses this.
I'm stuck with an issue and I cannot understand why it behaves like that. In a for loop, I'm passing the for index as an event parameter. However, the eventHandler is getting the wrong index, but the right target...
I'm trying to create four cubes in Papervision using a for loop. The cube class requires, as its first parameter, a MaterialsList. I've created four different MaterialLists in my code with the names materialsList1,materialsList2, materialsList3, & materialsList4. In a for loop, I'm trying to pass those variables as the MaterialsList parameter. It's not working. If I use the variables themselves in the code, it works fine, so I know my problem has something to do with how I'm trying to data type the dynamic name (see Actionscript below)The Actionscript:
PHP Code: for (var i:int = 1; i<5; i++) { [COLOR="red"] var cube:Cube = new Cube(("materialsList"+i) as MaterialsList,396
after 3yrs doing this stuff, i feel like I'm still learning the basics of .as and .html and am wondering how I can pass a parameter to another server using Flash. ... Man, how do I explain this? ... An html guy set up his server to display my content- ie: He setup his server..
I give a number of mc's an onEnterFrame event on the fly (in a for loop) which calls an easing function. This function is passed a variable whos value is worked out incrementally, ie on each loop the value is incremented (+.
I do this because I want each mc to be horizontally offset, in other words each clip eases so they come one after the other. Hope this makes sense, ANYWAY the problem the value of the variable (I mentioned above) which each clip uses to determine the postion it has to ease to seems to constantly reset itself. In other words the clips ease right on top of each other since the variable is reset to the last value it obtained from the last increment!!!.
i am loading an image with a loader, and in onComplete function i would like to call calculateRatio function and pass it Loader.content.width and Loader.content.height so it can compare it with the current stage width and height and resize image proporcionally to fit the screen. how would i go about passing that parameters?
