ActionScript 3.0 :: Passing Parameters To Flash But Not Using FlashVars?
Feb 9, 2009
how can i get values of parameters name1 and name2 in embed tag as following HTML code using AS 3.0 but not using FlashVars (because of i need to suite with all embed code of older version AS 2.0)
HTML Code:
<embed src="http://mydomain.com/myflash.swf?name1=value1&name2=value2" quality="high" bgcolor="#000000" width="320" height="240" name="myflash.swf" align="middle" allowScriptAccess="sameDomain" allowFullScreen="true"

I read almost everywhere that the wmode parameter had to be set to opaque (some said it could be either opaque or transparent). When setting this through the flashvars parameter (this is in Chrome btw) this did nothing. After a while of getting frustrated, I added it as a parameter itself through addParam, and hey presto now it works.Is this a simply a Chrome thing? FF it works seamlessly as it was. Even IE 7 and 8 are behaving slightly better. I wondered if this was a bug because supposedly adding a parameter to flashvars should do the trick.

I want to know which is more effective to use in terms of passing values to flashvars.I have a dynamically created XML on the fly that will be assigned to a flashvar.I am planning to assign a whole xmldoc to the flashvar..it basically includes all the tags as in the whole xmlobject..and then i'll use this var to be able to display it on a carousel like image gallery.. Basically the content is all dynamic.Is it more preferrable to accept the XML PATH or the whole XML DOCUMENT for the flashvars?

I am working on creating a Flash menu that, depending on the page calling the swf file, will show a specific frame just for that page. It works almost perfectly except for the very first time you access the swf during a given browser session. If you refresh the browser window, it will start working just fine after that as long as you stay in that same window.Incidentally, this is only for IE. It won't work at all in Firefox. It pulls the first set of frames, which is a template menu for one of the departments.The HTML code providing the variables:

I'm trying to do a Christmas Calendar in Flash. I'm using buttons for the 24 days, that I want to activate depending on the date. Since I can't count on clientcomputers having the correct date set I want to use the date from the server and pass it into Flash. Now I found out on the Macromedia website, that you can use FlashVars as a ActiveX Parameter to pass values into Flash. So far so good. How do i address the variable in Flash then? Using a syntax like this PHPode:FlashVars="datum=DAY_OF_MONTH" //DAY_OF_MONTH holds the date I get from the serverin my html file, that's calling the .swf I should be able to simply use datum as a variable in Flash. However that doesn't seem to work

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 am trying to use FlashVars to pass a parameter that will determine which graphic to load into my movie. The test actionscript code uses a dynamic text field called dText and is coded as follows (testing the FlashVars by passing them to a dynamic text field):
function loaderComplete(myEvent:Event){
var flashVars=this.loaderInfo.parameters;
dText.text=flashVars.userName; }
this.loaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, loaderComplete);
In my html code I am adding:
<PARAM NAME=FlashVars VALUE="userName=SamG" />
FlashVars="userName=SamG" // added to the embed tag

I know this should be very simple, but in following the examples I can find on passing parameters from HTML to my Flash App I have not been successful. I would like to find a relatively current example using AS3, Flash CS4. I need to pass the url of an XML file off to the flash app so that it can go pick up instructions on what it is supposed to be playing. We want to do it this way because we don't control the web site so we can't just leave the XML file on the server and maintain it as needed.

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 need to insert a Flash movie in a Visual Basic 2008 express form and send parameters to the movie, but am a newbie to VB. The flash movie will plot points sent by VB in a graph.I tried to insert the Shockwave Flash control in the form but cannot find it anywhere. So I inserted the webbrowser control, which I understand can be used to a similar purpose. But how would I send the values of X and Y (coordinates to plot in Flash) to the flash swf?

Adobe page for LoaderInfo states: The two sources of parameters are: the query string in the URL of the main SWF file, and the value of the FlashVars HTML parameter (this affects only the main SWF file). We would like to accept only FlashVars parameters and ignore the ones passed in as parts of Query String.

I am sending variables from my html page:
Code:
<param name="FlashVars" value="nameCheck=boo&imageCheck=image01.jpg">
...in the parameters section of the flash object code.
I know that to extract the info I need to basically use:
Code:
var paramObj:Object = LoaderInfo(this.root.loaderInfo).parameters;
...in my as3 code but I am wondering what would be the syntax to return a text field containing the sent variable 'boo' and fill an image area with the file name from the variable 'imageCheck'?

I used almost two weeks to search the Web how to pass some variable/parameter/Flashvar from one swf to another.I have a main swf file, let's call it "main.swf" and here in AS3 I'll call "comonent.swf" with some parameters.All this is easy if I call the component.swf from HTML, but I have to call it from another swf file.[code]My problem is that this doesn't work of course - the method in "getSwfParam" is only tuned to get the parameters if it's coming from the URL string from the HTML page. I can't use "component.swf?age=23" in my call from the main.swf, because it'll confuse AS3 to think that the wole string.IS THE flash file.I tried localconnection and sharedobject too, but I just can't get the sender and receiver part to work together.I only need to send some short codes to my component.swf to tell what it should do.Now I begin to question if it is possible it was in AS2, but now the _root is gone and everything got so d.

We are using a flash video player. In that we are passing an xml URL as Flashvars which contains the path of the flv video to be played in that player. This works fine when we are uploading to the test server. But we have a development sever which is accessed by an ip address. Whenever any ip address xml URL is sent to the flash, it is not playing the video.When we use domain_name/video_player it is working fine and xml file is loadingBut when we use ip_address_of_domain/video_player, XML is not loading Seems to be really strange

I'm unclear on the proper format for passing a QueryString Value using FlashVars, this is what I'm trying <param name="FlashVars" value="part=<%= Request.QueryString["part"] %>" /> but this causes a parse/encode error and the swf doesnt load, same if I use single quotes ie <param name="FlashVars" value="part=<%= Request.QueryString['part'] %>" />

I needed to write a very small SWF that would load a second SWF, passing all FlashVars to it. In searching for how to do this, I found bits and pieces, but nothing complete. So, in case this is useful for someone else:
ActionScript Code:
public class MyPlayerLoader extends Sprite
{
/**
[Code].....
Basically, this packages up all passed in FlashVars into a URL and loads it. There is one FlashVars that isn't passed, and is identified by SWF_TO_LOAD_PROPERTY. If in the FlashVars, that identifies the SWF to load. If not present, DEFAULT_SWF_TO_LOAD is used instead.

So I'm building a Flash/HTML hybrid website that uses a Flash navigation. Within the index.html file there is an Iframe that loads the different pages of content. I used this method so the whole page didn't have to refresh only the content being loaded.
Well I have some buttons on the inner pages that will redirect to other inner pages. The problem with this is the Flash navigation is still stuck on the old page. The Flash nav says you're on the home page while the content being displayed is the about page. Get it?
I've looked into some articles on using FlashVars but it doesn't really apply to my site because of the Iframe.

I have a flash mp3 player that loads its info from an xml file and it works great. Im trying to load this same player onto another website and have changed the domains, xml info, etc to load new songs. I want to have this swf be integrated into a larger site and not just loaded at the bottom of an html page. Heres the player working: [URL] On the new site, I have a target movieclip named mp3player and is the same dimensions as the loaded swf is supposed to be. On frame 1, I have a loadmovie() and then a loadVariables() and I have copied/pasted the flashvars from the working html page into the loadVariables(). The site is loading the swf, but not seeing the flashvars. The swf is loading way zoomed in on the image that is supposed to be 120 120
