I have a very odd problem with Flash 10 and ExternalInterface. I am currently using a homemade bridge to use RTMFP with Javascript and whenever I try to pass data that contains JSON, I get a wierd Javascript error that comes from Flash[code]...

I am working on an inDesign Extension in flex where I am encoding an object to JSON and then later trying to create an object from the JSON String.
The Class I am encoding with JSOD.encode()
public class ManualProductLink {
private var _productID:String;

What is the best way to pass JSON to and from a Flash movie?Currently to communicate between javascript and Flash :I'm using 'flashvars' to pass data to the flash movie when it initially loads I'm using 'ExternalInterface' at runtime to transfer single values, such as booleans at runtime I want to move to the next level and do this with JSON now.
Initially I just want the ability to send JSON to the flash movie on instantiation, but later i will need to send data back and forth.I just want to do it right first time and avoid any compatibility or 'gotcha' issues if there are any. i dont even know if i can pass a whole object to Flash, or if i need to serialize it as a raw JSON string.
I have this swf (flash) file that provides the json that needs to be sent to the server.[code]...
Of course I can pass the json as a string to the view function. Doesn't seem good to me. Any other way of passing the json object to the django view?
Can any one provide me with an example of how to encode data and pass it to a php file using JSON and flash?
View 1 RepliesHow do I pass flash array to javascript function without using json?
View 3 RepliesForgive me for this stupid noob question but I want to call a function (loadList) that originally gets triggered after a mouseevent from another function (addToXML) that does not have an event.
The loadList function takes info from a XML var, sticks it into an array which then gets loaded into a tile list and that is working fine.
The addToXML function when called adds elements to the XML var after which I want to call the first function with the event parameter so it refreshes the items in the tile list.
I know it can do this by creating a new array and loading that into the tile list in the addToXML function, but it be much simpler to just recall the function.
I have tried things like
Code:
addToXML.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, loadList);
but all the event constants I have tried give me error messges like "1061: Call to a possibly undefined method addEventListener through a reference with static type Function."
i'm currently trying to call a javascript function and pass values to it. but i'm not really familiar in using the addcallback since i only tested on calling a function from flash without passing anything to the function.
Basically, i'm going to retrieve the values of a node from xml. and then i will assign those values to a variable in flash. now what i'm going to do next is pass this value to a javascript parameter..is it done using externalinterface?
I just need to throw the value to the javascript function parameter and no return values to the actionscript. The event is that whenever an image is click, the corresponding value for each image is passed to the javascript function.

I have a custom container (C#) for the Flash ActiveX control and am passing data back and forth. Previously I would use ExternalInterface.call and pass an Array as a parameter. I would prefer to use the Vector class now that it is available, but it appears that when I do that the call is never made.
It is however made if it is embedded in IE. It appears that when in IE, Flash will send out JavaScript to execute rather than serializing to XML. My guess is that the Vector XML serialization isn't baked in, so Flash just ignores the call.
Other than just going back to using Array, I've already done that for now.
This is the MXML I have

None of them create a new line in flex they are both rendered to the screen. How can I create a new line with a php string?
[Code]....
but if I do name.text=data.string; it doesnt even though data.string has the exact same value;
I have a json object where I don't know some of the values at compile time, but I do know that all objects will be valid at runtime. So in the example below, the first trace will output "50" and I want the second trace to output "100", the value of someObject.someparam, which gets defined at runtime.
var plan:Object = { "testParam": 50, "testParam2": "someObject.someParam" }
var someObject:Object = {"someParam": 100}// this actually doesn't get defined until runtime
trace ("testParam " + plan.testParam);
trace ("testParam2 " + someSortOfInterpreter(plan.testParam2);
i am trying to splice a string between line breaks.
I have text called in using load vars and a text file. The text file called in has a few lines:
line one text
line two text
line three text
I would like to be able to splice that string so that i can create a string just using the second line of text.
I'm using as3corelib to decode/encode JSON strings. In my little experiment I want to encode an object (UserInfo) to JSON string and decode it back to the object, however it seems to fail at the convertion point (the last line), why would that happen? how can I make it work?
The UserInfo class
public class UserInfo
{
public var levelProgress : int;
}

This ONLY happens in IE.I'm using swfobject and loading the flash vars as such
var flashVars = {
myVar:'{"url":"http://google.com/", "id":"9999"}',
};

This has been my problem for a couple of days now.... I need to send a variable from flash that is embedded in an html to a javascript that will eventually should print the variables(that is the use of the js :to print).
So I've been using externalInterface.call("printval",param1,param2,pa ram3) to send my variables... I've put an alert in my javascript so that i could test if the value is there, the frustrating thing is the alert is showing with the variables but the printing part isnt executed. I tried this in firefox and it work, but I need this in ie...
im having problems with the following code:
for (var i:Number=0; i<numFaces;i++){
var faceLoader:Loader = new Loader();
faceLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener( Event.INIT,
function(fle:Event){

The problem is that im sending the variable i to the function LoadCara on every iteration, and its always called with the last value of i. I would like this function to be called with the appropiate index.
I have a scroller window in my Flash file which uses a Dynamic string variable fed by a text.html file containing my variable &about_readmore_txt2 After running some tests with the text.html file, I noticed that after a certain number of line breaks (either entered by a "RETURN" or a <br />) the final text rendered when the Flash is played becomes erratic. It only displays a portion of the text in the middle of the scrolling window.The tests have been run using both options : Rendered as html and not. My tests also shows that this behavior is line breaks related (I shrank the content of the variable down to a point where everything comes back to normal and then, if I add another line break, it starts behaving erraticly again
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to get a URL parameter in my flash...The parameter is a xml url...
testXML = new XML();
testXML.load(xmlurl);I tried every code I can find on the web and couldn't find a solution to get xmlurl
I tried var xmlurl:String = String(_root.loaderInfo.parameters.xmlurl); but it didn't work...
_global.xmlurl didn't work either

I must be missing something obvious. I'm trying to pass a parameter from a URL into a text field in flash, but it doesn't seem to work. I've got a dynamic text field (display as html is checked), with an instance name txt_txt. Here's the only line of code in the file:
txt_txt.htmlText="test "+this.loaderInfo.parameters.nameVar;
And, when I upload it and use the following, I get "test undefined" as my return!? [URL]
I'm just looking for clarification on the passing of a parameter and why/how it works.
In this example, it looks like you create a parameter to be passed in called 'evt', but I don't see it used anywhere in the function. [code]...
explain with 1 example how to pass parameter from ASP to FLASH..or otherwise direct me to the right tutorial site

I have an application that gets its variable data in XML file.
This application is used for different clients with different data.
Some of the data I pass to the Document class from the first frame. I would prefer to pass url to the XML file the same way, without the necessity to update the document class. But now I have to hardcode this url in the class every time, because I cannot get parameters from the first frame to the class at once, only after some time (like after loading XML with hardcoded url).
Is there a way to force executing of the code on the first frame before the code in the class will proceed?
