ActionScript 3.0 :: Passing Varibles From Php Page To Flash?
Mar 30, 2011
I checked out some of the posts in this forum, but i don't think they are quite what I am looking for.I have a database which stores a lot of user information.I need to gain access to this database and pull certain info from it and then load it into flash.I thought the easiest way to do this would be to load the variables/arrays and declare them in the php, the forward the variables into the .swf (on tht page)
i need to beable to click on a play/stop button in flash to play/stop music... and then when you go to another page in the site the flash needs to remember what the music control is set to... ie. because the page reloads (cant avoid this) it just restarts the music even if it was set to stop.the way i was originally thinking of doing it was to create a javascript variable in the page... then in the flash pass a boolean to the javascript variable when it is clicked (not sure how u do that)... then every link on the page would check what the javascript variable is ie. on or off. etc.
I am using ActionScript 3 to capture image via users webcam in one of my Asp.net Page. Here is the code i am using
package { import flash.display.Sprite;
[Code]....
Here the image is saved using file reference, which prompts the user to save. However i want that the image should be sent to asp.net page or server, so that i can get the image and save it to the database
I'm trying to take a variable from a php page and send it to flash to then use in a link.I'm having problems just selecting ONE variable from the print function, the code will help explain:
It collects all the data fine but it does not print it out correctly, it prints out all the variables in the php in one link. For example: If i click the facebook icon, i will be taken to http:[url].... This also happens with the other icons (Youtube and Twitter).
How do I access varibles from within another function. For instance, I load some variables from a txt file and once loading is complete I assign some variables. The variables from the oncomplete function is the variables I want to use in another function.
I don't understand why adobe set them up that way. As far as I can tell, all the setter does is change the value of the varible and nothing else. does anyone know why adobe set things up this way or what the x and y setter do other than changing the value of the varible?
code... as you can see in the code I converted three times just to verify that I was working with strings. What happens if you run this script, the variables xcoord0 and ycoord0 magicly change in value when they are used in the IF statement (see the traces). What is going on?? what am I doing worng?? Is there an issue with my 2d Array?
I have a html/flash site now, [URL]. i access email from my site itself by giving the userid and pwd text box which i copied from the actual website hosting my email access. i copied the entire <form...></form> tag to my page and thus was able to put the name and pwd in my home page only and access the email in a separate window. now i have redesigned my webpage using only flash. i would like to know how i can implement the same using flash. as i have not much experience using action scripting i am a bit stuck about how you pass the hidden form variables. the below is the the exact form syntax:
i am makeing a casino game and i want to display the players cash.im trying to use a dynamic text field but wont diplay varibles. i have researched this and cant find how to display a var in swf file.
I have an asp.net page where I get the user_id from who's logged in. Now I need to pass this user_id to a flex application that runs in an asp.net page as a .swf. How can I get this user_id in a variable in my flex application.Or what is the best way to get the user_id into flex.
I am building a page, like a table of contents (TOC) showing a list of videos the user can select from. It's written in PHP and populated by a MySQL database. There's a thumbnail and descriptive text which are linked to a new page with Strobe Media Playback. Videos will be delivered via RTMP stream from Flash Media Interactive Server 3.5.
What I want to do: Pass the filename of the video that was selected on the TOC page into the actionscript for the Strobe player on the player page. I have found a couple of posts here that related to similar issues, but I'm new to AS3 and was not certain if the other folks wanted to accomplish the same thing I do.
here's another one about passing data to an asp page. I'm trying to pass a variable through a string to an asp page. I cannot understand why this is not working. Here is my code:
this.btn1.onRelease = function (){loadVariables("http://www.mywebsite.com/paragonstats/flashprogress.asp?pagename=introduction","POST"); }
If I paste my url in a browser, it triggers the asp page as it should. But this code is not working from flash. If I use getURL, it works, but it opens another browser window or redirects my movie. I'm just trying to track click through statistics. I've even set up a movie with just one button on the root with this code and it won't work.
I've been writing movies in AS2 that have variables passed to them via the src parameter of the page code, e.g. src="/Flash/theMovie.swf?value=1"
Then in the AS I don't need to define 'val', I can use it straight away. However, in AS3 - at least, as I understand it - it seems that I can't drop 'val' into the code without defining it, as it throws ""1120: Access of undefined property val".
So, if I add a line of code public var val:Number; or somesuch, will this be enough to ensure 'val' is useable once it comes through from the page?
I am using labels for the pages so they are all on the same timeline. When the user gets to the last page there is a submit button that sends all the variables to a php mailform file. However I keep getting TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. I dont think my variables are not being passed.[code]
I've made a XML based Mp3 player using Flash 8 and AS2. The player is working just fine, I mean playing song on previous and next button. Now I want to enlarge this and my idea is to list all the mp3s on a PhP page and allow user to listen to any song randomly. This means, user can click any song name and that song will start playing in the player.
My problem over here is; the song listing and the player will be on one single page and clicking on any song wont reload that page to play the selected song but just reload the content of the mp3 player.
I know this can be done in Javascript. My thought on this is: On clicking each song name, I need to call a JS function and pass to it the "ID" of the song. This JS function needs to pass "that ID" to the swf which will play the song.
Keeping aside the complexity involve in ActionScript to fetch the song name as per the passed ID, I need to know how to pass this ID from JS to AS
On a page I have a an iFrame and a swf, I've been trying to use ExternalInterface to pass values from the swf to the iFrame, anyone ever tried this and had any luck? I won't be able to post any code until tomorrow, will update then if needed.Here is a visualization of what I need to accomplish, perhaps if it can't be done the way I said someone will have a suggestion of another way to accomplish this.
I am trying to pass a variable from my .aspx page into my published swf file. I am using the code below, and using swfobject to try to pass my variable. (I am very comfortable with swfobject and would prefer, if possible, to avoid using FlashVars.) The variable myVar represents the name of an image file, and will be a different image for each user on my site. I am using Flash CS4, and AS3. I only mention that because I was able to do this in CS3 using AS3, yet certain things have been deprecated in CS4 - hence my code does not work. And for what I'm doing and how I'm doing it I cannot use CS3 to create my swf file. Anyway, here is the code:
So I'm wanting to create a DocumentClass that is willing to accept a variable for a path to an XML file, passed in from the HTML, like thisindex.HTML page would have this: mySWF.swf?xmlPath=xml/xmlFileName.xmlIn the FLA (SWF) I would have only a DocumentClass load a .AS file.In the .AS File I need to accept or read the paramater being passed in from the HTML page.
I have a master page and a child page and have placed the javascript code inside the child page for flash movie.
The problem is the movie seems working when there is a alert on, without at least one alert msg, the code does not work, I am sure you people can solve, I can see that the following code works well in both Mozilla and IE, but only if the alert is ON, if I put it off, then the code does not work. Can anybody tell me what is the workaround :
i'm trying to build a flash site and ran into a problem... i have a gallery page with a bunch of page numbers at the top. when you click on one, a movieclip loads of some images coming in.so the problem i'm having is that i made a little animation for when you roll the mouse over the page number (they scale up when the mouse is over, scale back when the cursor moves away)... what it's doing is when you roll over, it goes to a certain frame in the timeline and plays that animation.that's all working cool, but i need it to not do that once it's clicked on. so basically when you actually click on a page number, the over script should stop until you go to another page... here's the code i've written,
function over(event:MouseEvent):void { this.gotoAndPlay(30);} function out(event:MouseEvent):void {[code].....
I have a flash site that has four pages which all stretch to fit window size.As soon as I go to a gallery page that is called in via SWF, and come back, I loose my dynamic stretching of all my pages...I would like the SWF page to stretch to fit also, and its isn't.
Let me ask how to program an html page to move to a new web page on user's clicking an item of an embedded flash movie? But , in detail, I actually want to do a little different thing. I want that the parent html page remains there ,instead I want a child html frame has a new page after user's clicking the list item of the embedded flash movie.
So I am doing a flash intro page, but the intro becomes the home page, as in all the pieces come together to create the Flash home page, so that there is just one file for the home page that includes the intro from Flash..how do I make it so that all the parts on the page stay there indefinitely, because right now after a certain amount of time, they disappear due to using the timeline in Flash.
I have a site where all the pages have a common SWF embedded at the top (Nav and banner), but the rest of the page is HTML.Everything is working fine, but I'm finding the 'independence' between the HTML and Flash is making for some sloppy transitions from page to page.I was expecting the SWF to be delayed, at least for the first page visit(and I have a preload routine inside the swf to make it's delay and appearance a bit more visually pleasant), but was surprised to sometimes find the SWF appearing and playing while the HTML content was delayed (resulting in a SWF floating in black).What I'm wondering is if there's a way I can do some sort of preload on my index page.BUT, not the standard one that I'm sure everyone would suggest (like the javascript image 'preload', or the newer 'css visibility' preload trick). The problem with the standard one is that it doesn't check to see if everything is loaded.What I'm after is a routine on my index page that invisibly loads some of the elements from my inner pages (common swf, maybe some of the images) and WAITS until it's done before moving to the inner pages (displaying the company logo and/or a load status in the meantime).Many people would suggest a preloader inside the common SWF on my inner pages (which I have), but the problem with that on its own is that it doesn't stop the HTML from displaying.
I'm trying to figure out a way to do a preloader (like those in a SWF, which loops until everything is loaded) that controls both the SWF AND the HTML.Recently, I found that you can use one swf to preload another, which would be a potential solution, as I could make an SWF on the index page whose sole purpose is to load (invisibly) the common SWF, displaying the load status and then loading an inner html page once it's done.Problem is, I have bee having trouble finding the coding for that, as most searches for preloaders end up being about standard preloaders, where it's monitoring the same SWF that the code is on, as opposed to controlling a second, external SWF.Can someone point me to or provide me with the proper coding/procedure for a preloader that controlls a second external swf or give me a better solution? one?
I have a an unobtrusive flash video looping in the background of a website, it is not essential to navigation - it is purely cosmetic.The flash video loops every 30 seconds.As this video is on all pages, it jumps back to the start when a new page is loaded.Is there an actionscript / javascript way to get it to remember the position it got to on the old page so it can start there on the new page?I do know that this can be accomplished by loading the flash movie in a frame as well as by having the subsequent pages load the contents in AJAX but I was hoping not to go down this route.I have seen other people ask the question and allude to the solution but they only posted that they got it to work without saying how.
