I would like to make a xmas ecard and want to include the recipient's name and greeting message in the swf.I would like to define the name and message within the url so I can custom it easily and send to different people: http:[url]....
I am using loadvariablesnum to load some variables from my php doc, is there a way i can test to see if its loaded or not to jump to the next frame..? Right now I am having it load into a string.text to test if there is text in it, but I don't want to use a string.text
i have edited an open source flv player's fla file for my needs,but ihave some problem.it uses XML when getting video source URL but i want it to read from QueryString or a variable from ASP.How Can i do this? the original codes are like this,these are for reading from XML source;
I am creating a gallery type site, I am loading xml data externally creating duplicate movie clips and it all works fine, my only problem is I want them to go to a URL, I have one of the nodes with the URL and in my actionscript I am calling a function to getURL on press, the problem is on each separate movieclip it links to the URL of the last movieclip in the stack.
I am using the following code to try and post variables to a URL, but the SEND command is still posting the variables via GET. // ls_print is the URL I am attempting to POST to lv_request.send(ls_print, "_blank", "POST"); This is what the documentation says, so I'm lost.
I am working on the contact form for a website that is done entirely in flash. The following is the code I have for sending the variables to the emailForm.php script that I created. The only problem I'm having is that everytime you send the contact information, a new web browser window opens up (it opens the php file in the web browser). I'm testing this on my local server and it works great, except for the fact that everytime I send it, I dont want a new browser window opening up.
I have my XML data loading into my SWF OK. However, is there any way to call that tag name instead of the child node number?So instead of something like this[code]...
I'd like to create a website that displays a swf file. Is there a way I can make it so that the content of the .swf file comes from session variables (probably coldfusion). So, if someone types in their name, I want to save their name to the database & then later display their name in the swf file.
Is it possible to make such a thing: When Button_btn is clicked (onRelease), var( var Name:String = new String("Flash MX|) ) is send to file (File.txt) and saved there.
I have searched the forums and internet and nothing seems to work. It sounds so simple but the variables are not passing into flash. Here is the scenario:
On frame one of my flash file I have: stop(); var sendLV = new LoadVars(); var recLV = new LoadVars();
I have an application that reads a PHP script and populates the Flash applets using the following on frame 1:
[Code]...
A combobox (created with the returned data) is created on frame 61. When a selection is chosen in the combobox I need to add the value returned from the combobox to the variable catvar, add this variable to the LoadVars object and run the script again. It seems to set c.catvar initially but when I use the 'sendAndLoad command the second time c.catvar isn't included. Is it possible to add variables to a LoadVars object created on frame 1 from frame 61?
All the web services tutorials I have reviewed always demonstrate how to setup the WebServicesConnector and bound to other input components on the stage (like the textinput component). I want to bind from a variable value in my Flash movie (ie; _level0.set_zone ) to somewheres in my WebServicesConnector. How can I set this up within my binding bound to value field?
Im having a bit of trouble integrating dynamic variables pulled from a databse using an ASP script with a flash movie.
Background:
I need to send variables stored in a ms sql db to a flash movie to display several values.
The dyanmic element comes in because i am using an ID to select the values from the db e.g id1 = joe bloggs id2 = paul smith
etc
When i am hardcoding the id in the asp script the variables are sent to the flash movie no probs and they display correctly.
I am also printing the asp code on the page and that all displaying fine.
HOWEVER, the issue arises when i make the asp code dynamic and by that i mean I am using request.querystring to pull the id
from the URL - The print out of the asp code is still displaying the correct variables, BUT they are not being passed to the
flash movie at all - the placeholder is blank there isn't event an error!!.
Couple of things to note -
- if you change the id bit of the url in the dynamic script to the printed asp code changes
- THE FLASH MOVIE IS IDENTIAL in both scenarios
- all variable names have remained the same
- it is NOT a location of file issue as we have tested the dynamic code files In another folder and no joy
- we are not using any other file includes or asp code in any of the page - all other code has been stripped out
THE ISSUE WE HAVE IS THAT THE PRINTED VARIABLES ARE NOT BEING PASSED TO THE FLASH MOBIE in scenario 2 where the asp code is looking for the participant id dynamically (i.e from the URL)
I have a standalone flash app that needs to get user inputand send it to a remote server / database. When I use the methodbelow, a browser window opens which I don't want to happen - I wantthe data to be sent but not display the page.
I am attempting to get data from an xml file load in flash. I followed a tutorial in a new fla and it seemed to work fine, I then tried to adapt it to my own needs which worked fine. But then when trying to implement this into my news section it doesn't seem to work. I am trying to make a news section, that displays the date and news article. This is in within a movie clip, I even tried putting it in the timeline of the scene but still nothing.
- I have 2 dynamic text boxes, date_txt and news_txt
- The xml file is named news.xml,
- both the fla and the xml are in the same folder
This is the actionscript I am using:
function loadXML(loaded) { if (loaded) { _root.thedate =
I've had a site running for a few months that takes fourinput text boxes (name, e-mail, subject and message) and posts thevalues to an ASP page which composes an e-mail with a CDO.Messagecommand. For some reason (nothing has been changed in the files or onthe server), it stopped working and I've traced it down to Flashpassing Input Text Box Formatting information along WITH theariable.Can anyone explain what's happened and how to correct it?For example, in my form I've set all the name, e-mail andmessage to static text and let the Subject variable be passed andin the e-mail subject line, I get this:
I've built a custom FLV player that needs to rely on a PHP script to serve it FLV files in order to control access to those files. My player uses the FLVPlayback component.My actionscript makes a call like this to the PHP script:[code]When tested, the FLVPlayback component simply won't accept the FLV served up to it in this way. It WILL work if loading directly from the file system, so I know my actionscript works. I can load just about any other type of file into Flash this way,including JPG and SWF. FLV is the only format that doesn't work.I've added the video/x-flv MIME Type to all test servers I've tried this on, so the server should recognize the file.
i have an image carousel, images being pulled from xml..right now, when you click the image, it slides over and some text appears also comming from the same xml file.. xml set up like this
what is the best method for loading external XML (with inherent HTML) content into Flash and into the TextArea component?i have an image loader and a TextArea together on the screen. a "story" is loaded which will present a series of images (in the image loading) associated with a corresponding text (in the TextArea). a "story" has multiple image/text sections that are navigatied through with FRWD/BACK buttons. any given section can also have multiple sub-sections or "frames".
[URL]
below is my proposed sample XML structure. i want Flash to recognize how many sections and frames within sections there are in each story XML document - in order to generate a corresponding navigation structure (a tab for each section). HTML content will be immediate availble to loadinto TextArea as user move forward in sequence with nav. and images references can also be preloaded into available MC containers to be swapped into place as user navigates forward in sequence. also need to read and store attributes for each node in the XML to come up in MCs in sequence. and must also be able to parse XML in a way to place simple HTML formatted content (within XML) into the TextArea.would Arrays be used?
<story title = "Story Title"> <section num = "1" title = "Section One Title" > <frame image = "1.jpg" caption = "caption text here"><b>Content</b><br><br>content
Is there a way to load an XML file if it's on a differen server/domain than the html/swf file? I already set allowScriptAccess="all" but it didn't seem to help.
There seems to be a problem with Firefox 2.x sending variables to PHP scripts with the LoadVars.send/POST method.

The same problem doesn't occur in IE or Opera. <br>See this url for example to try in both FF and IE/Opera: here. <br>The source files are here g.zelenka@iinet.net.au
I am trying to use the FLV Playback component to load FLV's dynamiclly into the flash movie.What I have is a asp page with a Recordset pulling the URL from the DB into the page using Dreamweaver. This is all fine.Now I have one instance of the FLVPlayback on the stage with flash .I am trying to load the url for the FLV file into the movie, via ASP, MsSQL and a url parameter. What I am trying to accomplish is to have a link on a page with a url that will open a popup window. In this window I will have the Flash file that will load the FLV based on the URL, and play it.
