how to add a bgcolor param to a dynamic SWFObject?
I am thinking that by adding a bgcolor to my SWF or making the wmode transparent, that it will get rid of the ugly "white box" that happens when my SWF first loads before the animation starts. Do not think it is necessary to have a preloader. Previously the animation was embedded using Object Embed code and no flash happened.
I have a .SWF email submit form. The background color is set via:
`<param name="bgcolor" value="#000000" />`
and in the embed:
`<embed src="FILE.swf" flashvars="STUFF" quality="high" **bgcolor="#000000"** width="260" height="32" name="WidgetMailBlack" align="middle" swLiveConnect="true" allowScriptAccess="sameDomain" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" />`
Is it possible either on mouse over of the Object or a containing div to change those values? i.e.
Here is myattempt at using swfobject and alternate content:
Code:
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" lang="en" xml:lang="en">
<head>[code]........
I seem to be getting closer to this, but I can't get it to NOT resize the swf!
I'm loading some pictures using the flickr api. As you know it's possible to load the images in different sizes when adding a param in the url.
My problem: When the size does not exist and I get a "image not availible" picture from flickr instead of my requested image, I want to trace out some kind of feedback so I can load the image in a different size that actually exists.
How can I do this?
I tried to accomplish this with the contentLoaderInfo and .url property in the COMPLETE event, but I just get the requested image url and not the actual loaded image url.
Curious if it is possible to add additional parameters (arguments) when you call a function with an event?
ActionScript Code:
// this is a normal event listener
my_mc.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, doNextFunction, false, 0, true);
// This is a function called by the event listener private function doNextFunction(event:Event, targ:Sprite, filePath:String):void {

I read almost everywhere that the wmode parameter had to be set to opaque (some said it could be either opaque or transparent). When setting this through the flashvars parameter (this is in Chrome btw) this did nothing. After a while of getting frustrated, I added it as a parameter itself through addParam, and hey presto now it works.Is this a simply a Chrome thing? FF it works seamlessly as it was. Even IE 7 and 8 are behaving slightly better. I wondered if this was a bug because supposedly adding a parameter to flashvars should do the trick.

View 1 RepliesBasically i've got a timer which records how long a user remains in either section A,B or C on my site. Each time the user switches from say A to C, the time spent in the section A is recorded into Array A and so forth. What i'm having difficulty with is adding each of the elements within the array together..... Top bits are just the button functions....bit in bold is what i would THINK would be the correct way to add the elements together - with a for loop....

I am trying to add x amount of movieclips to the stage with their own unique _x value. Also with each movie clip added i need to add an array with a smiler name. I tried this code.
Actionscript Code:
enemycount = 46;for (i=1; i<enemycount+1; i++) { this["currentenemy"+(i)]=_level0.enemydatabase[0]; this.attachMovie("BrownFox", ["enemy"+i], 101, {_x:100, _y:219});}for (i=enemycount; i<51; i++) { this["currentenemy"+(i)]=_level0.enemydatabase[1];}trace (this.enemy1._x);trace (this.currentenemy45);
under the attachmovie I have ["enemy"+1] but when i trace enemy1 it returns undefined. But when I put ["enemy"+1] it returns the _x value. also if I put _x: i * 5, I only see one movie clip so I have a feeling they all have the same _x and_y value. basically I wanna be able to add 2 enemys to the stage with out over lapping, and the option to add 50 with out too much over lapping (would like to avoid overlapping by also giving various y depths, between 200 and 250)

View 2 RepliesI'm working on a Flash website for a while now, but just now I noticed that the link doesn't change (that's normal for a Flash application). But the thing is, the website needs to be 'shareable'. So my problem is; How can I get a param from the URL and read it in Flash? For example, when the url is [URL] The Flash application has to know that the article is 245 so it can go to the right article instead of just the homepage. How can this be done? (By the way, I'm using actionscript 2)

Here is the source code of the SWF file;

I want to send parameters from my HTML file to Flash file using the FlashVars tag. I used the following procedure but it isnt working -
In Flash file -
var actionId:String = root.loaderInfo.parameters.actionId;
In html file -
<object ... >
<param name="FlashVars" value="actionId=11"/>
...
<embed src="widget.swf" FlashVars="actionId=11" ... />
</object>
[Code]....
NULL value is being passed instead of actionId as 11.
What kind of stupid rule of is that...unless Im doing it wrong.In AS3 doing:public function bla(string:String=null){}doesnt seem to work as I get an error 1 argument given, 0 expected.if I do public function bla (string:String, i:int = null){}i am told it wants 1 not 2 arguments.How do I get around this? every other language allows me to et a param as default to null and still pass in two arguments....

Having some issues accessing my param tags from within actionscript. Essentially I have the following tag:
<param name="config" value="config" />
But I am unable to access it. There are two issues that I have, and I've been searching the internet high and low for the answers.
1) How do I even access the parameter? I have some people saying use _root.config, LoaderInfo(this.root.loaderInfo).parameters["config"], and just config. None work, and searching for this stuff is so hard because it's so generic.
2) I assume that once I do find out how to access the param that is being passed, I'm going to have issues with accessing it from another file because I read somewhere during my searching that other files do not have access to global variables. If this is the case, how do I do that? I have seen _globals thrown around a couple of times and some people say it works, some don't.
how the post_param is used in SWFUpload. i need the value for name='batchid' loaded when i submit. this is what the example doc shows

"post_param_name_2" : "post_param_value_2",

Im using a few modules repeatedly in a Flex app and varying the conditions by passing in params via the 'loaderInfo.url' var. This works fine for the first iteration of a given module but subsequent attempts will always see the same params as the first creation regardless of what is actually used.

When I view the param in the 'CreationComplete' handler (eg 'trace( this.loaderInfo.url );') its the same every time (for a given module) regardless of what is actually passed in via the ?param=string. What am I doing wrong?
I have flash application, which creates array and calls javascript function.[code]My question is how to pass params from actionscript to javascript as array and not as string value.
