ActionScript 3.0 :: Put The Data In A .txt In A Flash Variable?
Aug 1, 2009
i am trying to make some sort of database and i have a 2d array in a .txt file. I want to take that data and transfer it into an array type variable in flash so i can change it and then put it back in the .txt file.
I am trying to create a simple form using Actionscript 3 that will collect data from a form, then pass that data to an asp file. I have attached the following code to the submit button,but this is not working.I'm not sure if I have to add anything else and I don't understand why this is not working. I'm trying to load all the variable info into one variable called email form.
submit_btn.onRelease = function() { var emailform:text; emailform.email_txt = email_txt.text;[code]......
I'm populating a listbox like this: dp.addItem( {label:"red dress", data:"OV4MP/23OL.swf"} ); Instead of data:"OV4MP/23OL.swf", I would like to make part of the data file name a variable from a dynamic textbox named centerPt that belongs to the parent movieclip, so I did this: dp.addItem( {label:"red dress", data:"OV4MP/23"+MovieClip(parent.parent).centerPt.text+".swf"} );
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?
I have three dynamic text boxes. variables respectively (caption0,caption1,caption2). My xml file is structured as: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?> <captions> <caption>Roll over this</caption> <caption>This is the first Caption.</caption> <caption>This is the second Caption.</caption> </captions>
I am trying to create a rollover where when you rollover caption0; caption1 and caption2 are displayed in sequence. Everything works except though only the first caption is ever displayed. For the other two I get "level0.caption1" and "level0.caption2" instead of the text in the xml file above. How do I parse the data so that each of the variables are assigned the text in the xml file?
this liveDoc covers getting a url variable into flash:http:/[url]....you can pass data to a flash movie by doing the following:[url]....this will create a variable: _level0. variablename with the data: thisisthedata.so far so good.you can then embed this in the published html doc by including your data string in the object/embed tags.like so:
not to bad, so now your html is loading the swf with the url variable. the problem is this data is hard coded into the html.now for the question. how do i get the html to pass the url variable it receives onto the flash?
I know how to pass vars from php to flash and from flash to a "new" php page but here is my question.
I have a php page (page1.php) with some HTML and a php variable called $number. page1.php also has an embedded test.swf movie. While working with the test.swf movie, I want to send data back to the $number var on the page1.php without reloading the page1.php because then it would reload the test.swf movie.
I have been able to use javascript to change background colors on page1.php from within the test.swf movie but cannot figure out how to set a php variable from within the test.swf movie.
For the life of me, I've tried everything: I've researched LoadVars on Adobe forum, used David Powers' books, googled 'flash to php', LoadVars, etc. and tried sendAndLoad, send, and using $_POST, $_GET, $_REQUEST. $HTTP_POSTVARS but I keep getting this same error.
I have a Unix server running Apache/PHP 4 - LoadVars worked to load name-value pairs into an array -see thread)
My goal with this simple app is to prototype being able to pass a variable from flash to a variable in php.
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in flash_to_SQL.php on line 5
Actionscript 2.0 code:
var c :LoadVars = new LoadVars(); c.testing = "123FOUR"; c.send ("
I would like to send data from PHP to Flash however, it sends just fine but when displaying on Flash, it does not display the contents in the variable. Instead, it displays the name of the variable. This may be a simple answer but I'm quite new to this. Here is the code in Flash.
I have the following code in place to move a variable from my Flash app to an XML file for storage [code] how do I go about getting my VoucherNo variable from.Flash to replace the value in the GoodVoucher field in my XML file?
There is a combo-box by the name "cbJobs" and it gets its value from the XML file named "data.xml".. I want to store the value transferred from this XML file into a variable.. so basically someone told me to use the code
on (change) { _root.subject = this.getValue(); }
the only problem with this code is that it gets activated only after I "change" the value in combobox by pulling it down.. I want to use this value obtained from _root.subject as a subject in the script
I'm trying to access RootNode in the code from anywhere inthe timeline. I assigned a value in the loadFile function but whenI try to access it from outside this function I get "undefined".How can I have this easily accessible from anywhere in the code? Iknow _global.RootNode will not work for XMLnode types.
I have a problem which i hope some one can help me with. I am loading in data from an XML file. This works fine, i can trace the contents of the XML file. The problem i have is this. I want to save each attribute to a class variable so i can call upon it with a getter method.The code is below:
Code: package XML { import flash.events.Event; import flash.net.URLLoader;
[code]....
If i trace(path) inside the processXML() its displays as expected. but if i fire my getter method path() im returned a value of null.
Im working with this little sidescroller tile based game, im saving maps to xml file. But got this little problem. I would like to do something like this.
var currentLevel:int = 1; var myMap:String = "map" + currentLevel; var myMap = xmlData.myMap.tiles.text();
so i would like to put that variable to that getting data from xml so if my currentLevel changes its getting diffrent data from xml file. so is that possible to put variable to that xmlData.myMap.tiles.text();
the dynamic text is initially zero (0) and when i click the button it counts the clicks up to here every thing works right but...when .swf file previewed in html after clicks if refresh is pressed the number is going back to zero.i want to upload this file and use on webpage.
The XMLdata doesn't seem to be global when this code is executed and I am not sure why. I want to load the data but it may not be used to later by the user.
//Load XML var xmlData:XML = new XML(); var xmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader(); xmlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, LoadXML); xmlLoader.load(new URLRequest("XML/organtext.xml")); trace("loading xml from XML/organtext.xml"); function LoadXML(e:Event):void { trace("XML Loading Complete"); xmlData = new XML (xmlLoader.data); }
I am attempting to import some simple XML data into Flash ActionScript 3.0. I can easily do this as an import that is posted to the stage, but I want to save it as a global variable instead. Here is the XML file that I am pulling from[code]...
I am new to ActionScript 3.0, I am facing a problem in storing the data from one frame to another whenever the button is clicked to switch between the frames. The original frame content is set to default.
I am trying to create a simple form using Actionscript 3 that will collect data from a form, then pass that data to an asp file. I have attached the following code to the submit button, but this is not working. I'm not sure if I have to add anything else and I don't understand why this is not working.
submit_btn.onRelease = function() { var emailform:text; emailform.email_txt = email_txt.text;
Currently I have an XML document and I can access attributes and elements just fine if I manually type them... however I am trying to make a more abstract method to help shorten my workload.[code]...
i've finally gotten the LoadVars() thing down, but the only problem is IT WON'T LET ME STORE THE DATA IN VARAIBLES! I can't put the data from the .txt file into a _global variable and access it outside of the onLoad() function. Any help? I can't really explain it that good so I have included the files for it.
