Getting Query String Into Flash CS3

Apr 16, 2009

I've looked up quite a few tutorials, how-to's, etc. on how to pass a query string into my SWF, but it isn't working. The page where the SWF resides is an ASPX page, and this is the code I used:

Code:
Select all <object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="[URL]"
width="756" height="433" id="gallery" align="middle">
<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" />
<param name="allowFullScreen" value="false" />
<param name="movie" value="gallery.swf?ProjID=<%=Request.QueryString["ProjID"]%>" />
<param name="quality" value="high" />
[Code] .....

As you can see, it pulls the "ProjID" querystring and is supposed to pass it into Flash. I have executed the page and viewed the source to make sure it is pulling the querystring appropriately, as shown below:
Code:
Select all<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="[URL]"
width="756" height="433" id="gallery" align="middle">
<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" />
<param name="allowFullScreen" value="false" />
<param name="movie" value="gallery.swf?ProjID=1" />
[Code] .....

I used "1" for the value, and "1" was what is in the page source, so I know it's at least getting that far. As for what is in the ActionScript, here it is:
Code:
Select allvar myProj = root.loaderInfo.parameters.ProjID;
var myGalleryXML2 = new XML();
myGalleryXML2.ignoreWhite = true;
myGalleryXML2.load("[URL]"+myProj);
myGalleryXML2.onLoad = function(success) {
if(success){
_root.myImages = myGalleryXML2.firstChild.childNodes;
_root.myImagesTotal = myImages.length;

It is supposed to load XML from an ASPX page that builds the XML from a database depending on the project ID (ProjID). If I hardcode the variable to "1" (or whatever other ProjID), it works and the correct images are shown for the respective ID. However, I can not get it to pass the ID from the URL to the Flash file. I've even tried "_root.ProjID", and a QueryString class I found through Google, as well as passing the ProjID through Param tags as FlashVars with no luck.

Flash :: Mod_rewriting A Query String Onto A Swf File?

Feb 1, 2010

I'm attempting to use mod_rewrite to clean up the URL's to a flash video player. First,here is the original URL that I'm trying to rewrite to:library/player.swf?path=path-to-file.flvhe above URL works perfectly fine when I access it directly. I have coded the swf to automatically grab the path parameter and play the video. No problems there. Now here is my attempted rewrite rule:RewriteRule ^player/(.+)$ library/player.swf?path=$1 [QSA,L]When visiting the url player/path-to-file.flv, I get the swf but no video loads. I set up a popup window in the flash to tell me the path name for debugging purposes, and it looks like the path isn't being passed at all.On the other hand if I use the exact same rule but point it to a test.php instead of player.swf, the test.php file is able to echo out the parameter

Flash :: Object Won't Recognize Query String If Set Through Mod_rewrite?

Sep 16, 2010

If I load an SWF with a query string at the end, like:

object.swf?this=that

then "this" is properly recognized as a flashvar within the flash object.But, if I set "this" via mod_rewrite, as in:

RewriteRule ^object$ lib/object.swf?this=that [QSA,NC,L]

then "this" is undefined.I even wrote a little PHP script to dump the contents of $_GET (changed the rewrite target temporarily), and I'm positive that the rewrite rule is working.

mod_rewrite clarification:

To demonstrate the strangeness of the problem, let me temporarily change the rewrite target to "object.php", so the rule now reads:

RewriteRule ^object$ lib/object.php?this=that [QSA,NC,L]

I created object.php in the /lib/ directory with the following line:

<?php echo '<pre>'.print_r($_GET, true).'</pre>'; ?>

Then, when I navigate to /object, I get the following output:

Array
(
[this] => that
)

This demonstrates that the rewrite rule is working as expected.Still, when I change the rewrite target back to the SWF, "this" is not recognized as a flashvar.(I'd definitely check the rewrite log to make sure, but I don't think I have access to it on the Media Temple server I'm using.)

Flash :: Adobe Flex Page Doesn't Refresh When New Query String / MVC Parameter Entered

I am working on adding functionality to where the URL takes in a parameter as defined by an MVC style looking way.eg.

(The user can navigate to the url/#/Id/12345 only when opening a new window/tab)Does anyone know if this is a feature that doesn't work in Flex or if there is some code or configuration needed to allow this?

ActionScript 2.0 :: Controlling SWF Using A Query String?

Apr 2, 2010

I have a form that sends data to a results page. I would like the results to manipulate a SWF file through the actionscripts.

EXAMPLE:
Form uses 3 radio button submissions.
Upon SUBMIT it sends data to results page creating a string seen below
Results page receives data (form_record.php?Q1=Q1D&Q2=Q2D&Q3=Q3A)
Results page houses SWF
SWF uses the string to control the action of the Flash.

Can be a simple as if "Q1=Q1D&Q2=Q2D&Q3=Q3A" is recognized it does a gotoAndPlay

PHP :: How To Send String From AS3 For Database Query

I am thinking of a function that loads the item name to a variable when the item is clicked. How can I send it to the PHP file and how would I load it to the query? The query I want on the php file goes something like this: Select lat, lon from mapdata where name=theVariable;

Asp.net - SWF Being Cached Even With Unique Query String?

Mar 30, 2012

When we reference a SWF file from our ASP.NET page we append the version number to the SWF url, like App.swf?1.1.0.0. In a recent update, Firefox has continued to use a cached swf even when the version number changed, App.swf?1.2.0.0. We haven't noticed this behavior in other browsers.

Has anyone else seen this behavior? We don't want to disable caching completely. At this point we're probably going to change the name of the swf for each version, like App.1.2.0.0.swf, which seems a bit excessive.
