Data Integration :: Storing Value From XML Into A Variable?
May 17, 2006
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
getURL("mailto:abc@abc.com?subject="+_root.subject);

I need to hold a couple of variables in an outside file that can be incremented by user activity -- not just during one interaction with the swf, but with every one.I have no problems with using loadVars and I get the loadandsend process; it is just that I have
no background in cgi or asp for holding the variable and being able to update it.I know I cannot write to a txt file -- that is what I have been using thus far with loadVars for importing values, but this will not help me here. I know it should be a fairly simple script -- I also know I ought to pick up php, but for the moment -- until a greater amount of time comes my way -- I turn to you.

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:
<object
classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="
http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab# version=8,0,0,0"[code].....
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

I need to parse and display the value for variable VALUE in xml to the screen but read from the file continuously instead of
once. The XML file is being created dynamically so its getting larger but flash only displays first value for variabel VALUE.

This would be the code to call a movie:
var fo = new FlashObject( "Movie1_controller.swf",
"Movie1_controller.swf", "591", "480", "7", "#FFFFFF", false,
"best" );
--------------------------
Is there a way to modify that call (maybe using ASP Javascript) so you can call different movies calling the same page with different parameters?. I haven't been able to get this
working. It seems to be that the "FlashObject" call cannot have any variables on it.This is the way I'm trying it:
1. The call to the page would be: http:[url]....
2. Add javascript to get value passed:[code]....
It just doesn't work. The FlashObject.js doesn't seem to like that call.

I have a video player that is currently using XML for its video library which is all fine and dandy. Now I have some developers working on a CMS type page in PHP that is going to hopefully pass some sort of information to my player that will let it know where the video is stored on our server. Is there a way to do this without using FMS? If so does anyone have ideas where I can find the information for it.

I'd like to create one empty Flash movie that is essentially a placeholder for externally loaded content I can change through XML. This content would just be able to randomly load 1 of 3 photos, with a button linking to a website within each of the photos on page load. If the user refreshes the page, a new photo with it's link would appear, but I understand since it's random,having 3 images the same image is likely to reappear, but I can always add additional photos and links.
Does anyone know of a tutorial that might lead me on the correct path to create this? I've found some tuts, but they've been different than my need.

We want to be able to upload over 100+ files (if needed) to a server along with desc + keywords. I see that Flash 8 has the neccessary tools to handle file uploading, but my question is, can we have it act as a Stand alone FTP program so that we can utilize the fastest user upload, or will we be confined to the settings in the server INI settings.IE MAX_UPLOAD_TIME,MAX_FILESIZE, etc. If possible we want to avoid using the HTTP upload as it is noticeably slower. So if we can use flash to utilize user BW to upload, then that would be ideal.

This script from MC 1 loads an template from the library and then creates as many instances as the XML says.
It also creates a dynamic variable called ppp. This variable i want to store in each of the newly ceated instances and then use it in another movieclip to load the right path where i want to load another xml file in Flash....
This is what i want to accomplish:
xmlData.load("albums/album"+ppp+"/images.xml");
This code is in another movieclip (MC2) and gets loaded in frame 5 of MC1.
Another soltuions is if it is possible to read the value that is loaded in the dynamic textfield nummer_txt from the template:

I have a movie clip and inside that movie clip there is a button. I will be copying this movie clip 40+ times. When you click the button it must seek out the reference name of the movie clip it is nested in. The point of the script on the button is to make all other boxes but its self vanish. The script needs to know what box it is so it can make all boxes but it's self vanish. I know that _name returns the name of the object the code is on but what about the movie clip the object is in maybe _parent._name?

When a key is pressed, data is sent to PHP to be stored in a MySQL database. For each key press, only one entry should be posted. it re-posts exponentially (e.g., 1st key press = one post, 2nd key press = two posts, 3rd key press = three posts; thus, totaling six posts).Initially, the event listener for key press existed alone on a single frame. When that was the case. This issue did not occur. I added an additional frame so that I could set to clear out all variables and start fresh.
so frame 4 will have :
KeyListener = new Object();
KeyListener.onKeyDown = function(){
if (Key.isDown(69)){ // if key pressed is "E"

I'm now writting a little drawing tool, that will allow users to save their drawings and the redraw them. Now I'm only concerning myself with diferent colored lines with diferent thickness. So now I only need to store the values, that will be used later on when calling the canvas object's graphics.lineTo(....); method. I'm planning to save all of my drawings in XML, but I still need to load them up when I want to use them.
Given my situation, what's the best way to load up my data (after loading it in chunks): Arrays, Dictionaries, anonymous objects. We're talking about loading up, let's say ~ 1000 Point instances for a very simple shape, since I want the drawing to be pixel-perfect, since I will be modifying it to a more sophisticated tool later.

I'm currently having abit of problem with splitting some data and inserting it correctly.On screen I am going to have 3 movieclips (with a dynTextfield already placed inside them).Using data imported from PHP I plan to put the project names of the returned results inside the movieclips. The problem with this is if the results are more than 3 then there aren't enough movieclips. To over come that I was thinking of using a 'more' button where the project names would get pushed out of the movieclips and the new set loaded in/along.
At the present moment I can split the data (received from PHP) and trace it accurately, although I'm not sure how to go about storing it now. I was going to use and Array and store to store the info and call it in the buttons, however I haven't used arrays before.
Code
Code:
function fetchInfo(){
//Query DB for existing projects:
fetchProjects = new LoadVars();
fetchProjects.userID = _global.UserID;
[code]....
At the moment in my test there are 2 results that are returned.
