Does anyone know how to pass a value to a child swf, loaded into a parent swf, from the parent swf as flashvars?
Have an old AS2 project that accepted flashvars from a HTML file it was in, but now it has to be loaded into an AS3 parent. Just need to know a way to pass some values to the AS2 swf that it is expecting as flashvars.
if i pass a value through a flashvar. anyone know how to display that vALUE AS TEXT? as in a php echo.
View 2 RepliesI have been grappling with this problem for days now. I want to set two variables in a SWF and have them passed to FlashVars PHP page. I can get it to work when I just send one variable with this code:

Is it possible to load xml as a flashvar? Basically I want to pull information from a server for a news ticker, but I want the info to be available as or before flash loads so that it appears to be instantaneous. Can xml be passed in as a flash var or do I need to break down the feed into individual vars that get passed in?
I'm not talking about passing a URL to flash, I mean that actual XML. Basically I just want all the data there and loaded on the same page as the flash so there's no load times.
All I want to do is send the FlashVars to the Flash movie where it picks it up and goes to play the frame specified in AdFrame.
This is an odd one because it works perfectly when I preview it locally in IE. However, it does not work in IE when I move it out and tested remotely (tried it on two servers). It does not work in Firefox remotely or locally. I have the lates version of the js and I authored in Flash 9.[code]...
I have a program that uses a document class. The preloader.swf calls the main.swf. Problem is, the main swf uses FlashVars to set certain parameters. If I use preloader.swf to load the main.swf, FlashVars will no longer work.
So I need some way for preloader.swf to pass the FlashVars to the rest of the program.
I have a flash var stored in my html file:
<script type="text/javascript">
var flashvars = {
map:"mapGAcentury21.xml"
[Code]....
I pasted my entire javascript code into my original post. my flashvars are being passed into my main swf file called "REMap.swf" The REMap.swf
public var requestAd:URLRequest = new URLRequest("media/728x90.swf");
Then in a function the following code loads my 728x90.swf file
loaderAd.load(requestAd);
addChild(loaderAd);
loaderAd.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, promoLoaded);
I have a parent and 2 children. I am trying to pass data from child1 to child2 but keep getting an error message: 1061: Call to a possibly undefined method through a reference with a static type.
In child1 I have the following code:
[Bindable]
public var TestVar:String='sometext';
In child2 I am trying to get the value of TestVar and then use it as a value to search a mysql database via php.:
var newTestVar:String = child1.TestVar;
if(newTestVar != null){
getResult.token = someService.get_filtered_Paged(newTestVar);

In Move1.swf I am loading Movie2.swf like below:
ActionScript Code:
var myvalue:Number = 0;
var UploadLoad:Loader = new Loader();
UploadLoad.load(new URLRequest("Movie2.swf"));
UploadLoad.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, endNavListener);
function endNavListener(e:Event):void {
var UploadForm=MovieClip(UploadLoad.content);
stage.addChild(UploadForm);
UploadForm.x=0;
UploadForm.y=0;}
But I am having one variable in Movie1.swf which is called myvalue, I want to assign some value for myvalue from Movie2.swf. So I have coded like
ActionScript Code:
MovieClip(parent).myvalue = 100;
But the value is not passing ....

View 6 RepliesI have made a piece of flash that runs on an xml document and now I need to pass a flash variable (via the html swfobject) to the flash to dictate this xml location. The variable is successfully passed if I embed the main swf straight into the swfobject.The problem is I am using a preloader swf to load the main swf onto the page and I can't seem to work out how to pass the variable (from swfobject) from the preloader to the main swf.

I'm sure that I'm doing something daft here - I just need to remove a child that's created in the constructor through an event listener.My code is below but does not work. Can someone point me in the right direction please?

I have two swf, A.swf and B.swf: B.swf is a child of A.swf. Each swf has its DocumentClass. Now: I must pass 4 arrays from A.swf to the DocumentClass of B.swf. Which could be the best way? Is a listener in B.swf a good idea? I noticed there's the possibility to send data over the querystring but I would like to avoid this solution, if possible.

1.main.swf
2.inner.swf
I'm adding the inner.swf somewhere in the main.swf using addChild (and it's added successfully).
all I want to do is to pass a parameter to the inner.swf or make the inner.swf reads a root value from main.swf.
My problem is i had 2 swfs parent.swf and child .swf and i loaded the child.swf file in parent.swf using Loader class there is a textbox and a button in child.swf when we enter text in the textbox(say,notepanel_txt) and click on the button(say, mySubmit) the text present in textbox(notepanel_txt.text) is saved in the database using URLLoader and an variable called success(which is String type) must be available to parent. the code is as follows:

My question is not like the one I read because the context is different: Let's say instead of embedding a flash inside an html page with some flashvars, I want to embed it inside another flash or flex. How to set the flashvars in this case (using ActionScript 3)? So how to embed Flash in another flash and set same variables as it was embedded in html by passing querystring or flashvars.
View 1 RepliesI'm passing a number in my HTML through FlashVars to a swf, I load an external swf into that parent swf which needs the variable that I passed.
I can use the variable passed in the parent, but I just can't understand how to attain that value in the child swf.
I've been looking into dispatch event but it seems way overkill. Haven't seen any examples dealing with something so simple.

how i can to know if the value of a FlashVar (in as3) has changed. For example: if i inicialize the flashVar with "1" and after set the flashVar to "0", everyOne knows that this flashVar has changed. the problem is if i have the FlashVar value setting in "2" and i set the flashvar value to "2", again.
There are any way to know if this flashVars has changed his value for the same value?

We need a second parameter added that sets the destination/target for the link. The default/current is _blank but we also need to be able to set this to nothing so it opens in the same window. Can you try adding the second parameter to the flashvars list and use this to set the target for the link.
my html is:
<object width="296" height="88">
<param name="movie" value="../soccer_homepage_AM2.swf" />
<param name="FlashVars" value="url=/mainpage_gif.html" />
[code]....
How to I add that second parameter of opening in same window to the flashvar?I believe you separate the additional one by using a & but am unsure exactly what to put?Do I also have to change the ActionScript in the original fla file? This is set to _blank but I believe they want it to stay that way but have the option of adding _self or whatever it needs to be in the Flashvar when needed.
My ActionScript 3.0 is:
btnLink.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, buttonSymbol_click);
function buttonSymbol_click(evt:MouseEvent):void {
var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest(stage.loaderInfo.parameters["url"]);
navigateToURL(req, "_blank");
}
I'm passing in a variable from my FlashVar parameters: gameToken, which will control the visibility of several objects through out my movie. The objects are in different frames and all have different labels: review_btn, introReview_btn, endGame_btn. gameToken is being randomly generated by the clients 3D environment, and then passed in the embed code. gameToken would look something like this:
[Code]...
I had some success using this method before, but only for a single object. Now when I try and repeat the method with the various other objects all I'm getting is a headache. At no point in my movie does gameToken ever get set to anything other than null (I'm not testing within my webspace yet).
I have a picture on the stage that has multiple items that have hotspots/links over them that should open a child swf on top of the background and show details about the items. then have a button in the child swf itself that removes the child from over the background so the user can click on another item etc.I found this code in someone's post and I am trying to modify it so that works for multiple swf files...it currently works for a single swf.I wan to pass the name of the button in front of the .swf in the URLRequest to have the same name as the instance name of the referring button. But I can't figure it out. Here is the code I am using on the stage

I've just completed a flash banner for our site and my boss has just informed he's bought some bannerad software to manage clicks, etc. Originally my flash was passed variables from the HTML via Flashvars which I accessed using something like this: var manid = root.loaderInfo.parameters.manid Which worked great.

Below is decription of the file
1. I have a flash file which is loading php variable through flash vars.
2. The flash var variable contains the .txt filename in which data is kept.
3. When I open the php page the swf loads with variable having .txt filename and value containing swf path.
4. I have created timer in flash which check for change of value.
5. When value changes the other flash file loads.
6. All this works fine in all browsers except IE 7
