HTML :: How To Program AS To Pass Flashvars
Dec 23, 2010
I am really new at Flash. So I am trying to make a flash container that display Vimeo videos. Here is my actionscript.
var videoContainer:Sprite = new Sprite();
var moogaloop:Sprite; // the video player
var moogaplayer:*; // reference to the moogaloop api
var player_width :int = stage.stageWidth;
var player_height:int = stage.stageHeight;
[Code] .....
And I want to set the vidId by URL. For example: [URL]. And it doesn't work. It works fine if I set the video id in open ()

As a PHP junior encountering Flex for the first time this scratches my brain for days. The flashvar contains the source of the video I want to play in the Flex video component. The HTML of the player looks like:
function createPlayer(videoSource){
document.writeln("<div id="player">");
document.writeln("<object width="489" height="414" FlashVars=""+videoSource+"">");
document.writeln("<param name="player" value="bin-debug/FlexPlayer.swf">");
document.writeln("<embed src="bin-debug/FlexPlayer.swf" name="player" width="489" height="414" FlashVars=""+videoSource+"">");
document.writeln("</embed>");
document.writeln("</object>");
document.writeln("</div>");
}
I tried to call the FlashVars in the FlexPlayer.mxml but it's not working. What I have to apply in the source in the mxml to access the FlashVars.
<s:VideoPlayer id="Player" left="0" top="0" width="497" height="414" skinClass="MySkin" source="FlashVars"/></s:Group>

I'm trying to use FlashVars to pass a FLV path from html a FLVPlayback instance. I get how this is supposed to work, but I can't find any good documentation on the needed ActionScript. The closest thing I could find was a discussion about a script that looked something like this:

I am loading a child swf inside a parent swf, and need to pass variables from the parent into the child. I don't have control over the source code of the child, so I can't have the child pull data from the parent; the data needs to be passed to the child swf in a standard fashion, so that the child works just as if it were embedded in a page using flashvars.I've tried passing variables to the child as parameters on the URL:
var ldr:Loader = new Loader(); var urlReq:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://mysite.com/child.swf?var1=aaa&var2=bbb"); ldr.load(urlReq); addChild(ldr);
This seems to work ok, but apparently Internet Explorer doesn't allow URLs longer than 2083 characters [URL]. I need to pass a fairly long string of parameters to the child which will likely exceed 2083 characters. So I'm trying to avoid passing the parameters directly on the URL, and wondering if there is any other way to populate the child swf with the variables that it will expect. Is there any other way of passing flashvars to a swf-in-swf?

I wrote a simple flash loader that loads external swf and then calls javascript function to show div containing flash. I need to pass flashvars to loaded swf. I have read that I just need to use query string when loading to pass variables: externalswf.swf?var1=val1&var2=val2
BUT there is a problem. External swf can be very big and I'd like it to be cached by flash engine. It seems it's impossible in case of url parameters ?var1=&var2=& because those vars often change.Is there other ways to pass vars into inner swf. (I cannot change inner swf and I know only one thing - it use vars passed via flashvars mechanism

I am trying to use FlashVars to pass a parameter that will determine which graphic to load into my movie. The test actionscript code uses a dynamic text field called dText and is coded as follows (testing the FlashVars by passing them to a dynamic text field):
function loaderComplete(myEvent:Event){
var flashVars=this.loaderInfo.parameters;
dText.text=flashVars.userName; }
this.loaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, loaderComplete);
In my html code I am adding:
<PARAM NAME=FlashVars VALUE="userName=SamG" />
FlashVars="userName=SamG" // added to the embed tag

I have a A.swf which loads B.swf onto a movieclip and needs to pass it some FlashVars. When loading B.swf with html, I can pass FlashVars fine. When passing from A.swf, it gets a
Error #2044: Unhandled ioError:. text=Error #2032: Stream Error. URL: file:
The code in A.swf is
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest ("B.swf");
var variables : URLVariables = new URLVariables();
variables.xml = "test.xml";

In B.swf, it is checking the Flashvars like so. It works fine from html side

I am trying to take a PHP variable and pass it along to Flash via Flash vars. My end goal is to pass a string formatted as XML to Flash, but because I'm struggling I've stripped everything down to the basics. I'm just trying to pass a simple PHP string variable to Flash via FlashVars with SWFObject but something isn't right. The page won't load when I try to pass the variable inside of php tags, but it will load if I just pass a hard coded string. The basic structure of my page is that I have some PHP declared at the top like so:[code]How do I pass a PHP variable using SWFObject and FlashVars?

I am dealing with the HTML page where my flash movie is embedded.
So I have a JavaScript function called getURLVar() that returns a string (a variable passed in the HTML page by the URL). That part works.
What I want to do is call that JavaScript function so I can pass its results into the flashVars property where you embed your .swf.
The following does not work
<embed src="MainPage.swf" flashVars="myFlashVar=<script language="'Javascript'>getURLVar()</script>" quality="high" menu="false" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" width="800" height="600" name="test" align="middle"

I'm passing a number in my HTML through FlashVars to a swf, I load an external swf into that parent swf which needs the variable that I passed.
I can use the variable passed in the parent, but I just can't understand how to attain that value in the child swf.
I've been looking into dispatch event but it seems way overkill. Haven't seen any examples dealing with something so simple.

I'm trying to do a Christmas Calendar in Flash. I'm using buttons for the 24 days, that I want to activate depending on the date. Since I can't count on clientcomputers having the correct date set I want to use the date from the server and pass it into Flash. Now I found out on the Macromedia website, that you can use FlashVars as a ActiveX Parameter to pass values into Flash. So far so good. How do i address the variable in Flash then? Using a syntax like this [code]...

Of course this doesn't work. how would I get that variable "user" that is created in the javascript code, back to flash?

I am trying to pass FlashVars into public class EventDispatcher to set the path to data.xml. I need it because the name and path of the xml file will be dynamically created. I need to use Flashvar in order to access the correct path. I was able to pass Flashvar from html page on timeline this way:
PHP Code:
var Flashvars:String = LoaderInfo(stage.loaderInfo).parameters.xmlfile;
Then, I was able to use it for new UrlRequest;
PHP Code:
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest(Flashvars);
This method works really good, but this solution only works on timeline. I need to implement this technique in the class. Before I setup a static var for with the path to xml file. I'd like to be able to get FlashVar withing this class and assign this string to 'public static var DATA_XML_URL:String' I have there. This way I can pass Flashvar to the project I already have.
Below is the class where I can implement it:
PHP Code:
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.events.EventDispatcher;
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.display.LoaderInfo;
import flash.display.MovieClip;

So I'm building a Flash/HTML hybrid website that uses a Flash navigation. Within the index.html file there is an Iframe that loads the different pages of content. I used this method so the whole page didn't have to refresh only the content being loaded.
Well I have some buttons on the inner pages that will redirect to other inner pages. The problem with this is the Flash navigation is still stuck on the old page. The Flash nav says you're on the home page while the content being displayed is the about page. Get it?
I've looked into some articles on using FlashVars but it doesn't really apply to my site because of the Iframe.
