Flash :: Data Integration - Xml.load() Failing - Passing All Of The Data Via A Query String Appended To The Movie's Url
Sep 5, 2006
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 need to run a query and convert the results to an XML string. I *think* I need to do all of this in PHP but I wanted to get some guidance as sometimes I make things more difficult than necessary.
Do I have 2 scripts... one to query and one to process the results to XML? Or can I put them both in the same script. To do the latter is not proper OOP practice, correct?
Once that is done, I can get the data into Flash. I need it to be XML though because the same data is being used elsewhere outside of Flash.
Is this the proper, most efficient way of handling this task?
my Problem is that i want to load a external swf in the main swf main by passing Querystring from flash cs4(AS3) and get variables from html page...... but Not working Iam attaching the fla files folder
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?
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 have a swf (swf#1) with links to another swf (swf #2). I would like use GET to pass data out of swf #1 to a PHP page that will be holding swf #2. I want swf #2 to start at a specific frame based on the data passed from swf #1.
I have been reading this page about passing a query string to a flash file and I have it all set up using Javascript.URL...My next question that the page doesnt seem to cover is how do you then get flash to manipulate the data from the query string?So say I pass example.swf?testtype=1, I want flash to grab the value of testtype.
I have a simple microsoft access database (table with a handful of fields).I want to make a flash form that operators can use on mac and pc to enter information into the database.I know little about databases and although I've worked as a designer with flash for years, i know little about the latest scripting too.
I have the Following requirement and I do not even know where to begin.I have created a map of a Country and on the map are several towns and cities, obviously easy enough so far.So, for example, say the XML data provides information of ten different pieces of information, one might be say Lightning Strikes.
I want to be able to create a dynamic map that adds a Red dot beside the City, that represents a record of the lightning strike. Or ,if required a larger dot might represent 10 lightning strikes if it is a very regular occurance.The main objective is to provide an up to date visual representation of which location is more active.I don't mind experimenting or following a link or guide to work it out,
I'm working on a movie that needs to get the query string data, but I can't just pass it in, as I don't have access to the embedding page, and can't get the author to edit the embedding options. I need to do it all within the movie.
I've seen examples of as 2 using ExternalInterface.call("window.location.href.toStr ing"); but I can't get it to work. Is there another way in as3?
is it possible to pass a parameter to flash from html together with the call of the .swf file? In the .swf I play different slide shows. The paramter I need, to know which slide show to start.

I find a lot of information to pass variable values i.e. fortext from asp to Flash, but what I need is to be able to change thecolour of items with a querystring. I have to handle the colour of35 items and additionally, I need to fill in text values into theseitems, meaning a pretty long querystring...THis was all working easily with SVG, but now it's time tomove on, sinve SVG has now its official death certificat
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 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:
I am trying to have a PHP page load some variables into aFlash banner ad that will be running on 8 different websites...I need to have one central location for the PHP page andallow 8 other domains access this data...I am finding that when everything is on one server... noissues... data reads just fine...But when the PHP page is on one server and the SWF file onanother... the data never gets through...I am assuming this is some issue with security within

I have a created a flash searchable database with xml,following this tutorial url...It seem to be work great but my the xml file seems to be too large so when certain words are search I get a script error and eventually freezing up, my question is Is there a way to tell flash to load the 10 or 20 records at a time? By loading sections of the xml one at a time will this stop the script error?
