Data Integration :: Use Flash To Dynamically Load XML Data Via A FlashVars Call In The HTML?
Jul 18, 2007
Im new to placing external data into Flash. I just got CS3 and Im trying to use Flash to dynamically load XML data via a FlashVars call in the HTML.
The problem is I have followed the very straight forward AS2 Help files for using FlashVars and URL variables.I have placed the code directly from the Help file into the Html between
<noscript> <noscript>and i keep getting undefined.I have tried saving the file as flash 8 and i am publish flash 8.

I currently have a Flash app that gets populated by parsing data from an external XML file. However, I need to get the XML data into a (JSP) session and can't neccesarily have an external XML file--any suggestions? Can I put the XML string into a hidden input field in a form on the HTML? Can Flash communicate with that HTML? Or are one of the below methods recommended:
* FlashVars
* Flash Remoting
* Web services
* JavaScript - call JS function
* fscommand
* ExternalInterface

We have implemented a Flash photo slideshow on our site and it works just fine for most of our users. Whenever the xml.load(success) returns false I have the Flash email me a debug report. For the life of me I can not find a common thread between all of these people having problems with the Flash. I don't think it's a cross-domain issue because it works for most people, and I have the crossdomain.xml files where they should be.

I have a Flash file containing a floor plan over my office. I want visitors to be able to locate the room for a specific person by clicking on the room nr.In my HTML-code I give the FlashVars a value equal to the chosen person's room number like this:
<param name="FlashVars" value="roomNr=G207" />
Then I have the script in my Flash file where I first declare a variable fetching the value from my FlashVars:
myRoom = roomNr;
After that I have the code to produce a different color to a movieclip, thus indicating which room it is:
import flash.geom.ColorTransform;
var myCT:ColorTransform = new ColorTransform();
myCT.rgb = 0x009900;
I have made a movieclip for each room and named their instances like the values that will be passed when selecting a room.For instance: G207, F106E, U123 and so on. let the instance name of a movieclip be the value from my FlashVars which I declared earlier. I wrote the next line:
myRoom.transform.colorTransform = myCT;
BUT... this will not work. I have tried two things to understand the problem:
1. I put a dynamic text field on stage, naming it and assigning its text to be the value from FlashVars:
testTextField.text = roomNr;
And it works perfect. It gets the correct value and writes it out on stage.
2. I tried to hard code the myRoom variable to be equal to G207 (myRoom = G207; ), and that works fine as well.WHY won't it recognise my FlashVars value as an instance name of a movieClip?

I have an Access Database (doesn't need to be Access, I can phpAdmin or mysql, whatever will work) that has a list of names. I want the user to open a Flash form and have the names load up into seperate input boxes for each name. The user can then change the names, move them, whatever, and then save the record. I want it to just overwrite the record. I donlt want create a new record. I cannot, for the life of me, figure this out. I have tried to find some tutorials but nothing makes sense. Is ASP a good way to go? I have been struggling with this for a week now.

I've developed a small Flash [8] slideshow of ten 4x6 jpgs,optimized it, published it, and inserted it into a Dreamweaver [8]basic XHTML-compliant page, saved the page and previewed it in a variety of browsers. It works perfectly.Then I FTP'd it along with other files and photos for the site. and tested it out on the same browsers: everything EXCEPT the slideshow now works perfectly; there's not a trace of the ss.What am I doing wrong? I've retraced all of my steps several times -- I even re-FTP'd it -- all with the same result.

Creating a non-interactive status display: I want to have theflash display reflect data in a server-based XML-file. So far thisis easy. But I want the display to change everytime the XML filechanges-- in order to reflect status changes. I've used anXMLConnector and specified it and the trigger in the first frame.The Flash code catches and shows the XML values initially . Butwhen I edit the XML file, the new values are never picked up byFlash- its almost as though the values are cached. How do I getFlash to regularly be updated from a changing XML file? I've alsotried putting the trigger in a loop- but that doesn't workeither.

I'd like to be able to send the data I generate in flash to an external text file. I understand I need some sort of script to do that, but is this something I can run just on my machine?

I have a website that is all flash. I have a main file that loads in the nav and then the nav loads in the designated .swf file for each section. So there are several sections(.swf's) with lots of text taken from a database and inserted into the swf file from
an XML file. If I click in between sections, and go back to the original section of text the formatting is lost. This is only in Internet Explorer 7- this does not happen in Firefox or on the Mac.
