I have a project in Flash Professional CS5 and ActionScript 3.
I have a movieclip symbol (referred herein as "background" with scripts on various keyframes inside of that symbol. I need to hide or show another symbol (referred herein as "object") sharing a stage with "background".
To put it another way, I need "object" to be hidden when "background" reaches a certain internal keyframe. However, as "object" and "background" are both children of the same stage, how do I do this?
I have a rather simple flash application users can make a quick username when connected, and the username is created inside the flash swf.
Now, I have a cron job deleting inactive usernames every ten minutes (on my mysql database where these usernames are all stored and accessed by the other people online) which is fine. But it can still get cluttered up if a bunch of people sign off at once, there is still that 10 minute window before the cron job clears them.
The users have an option to click log out in the flash application which is fine and works great. But of course many choose not to click log off they just click the browser x.
I've looked into onbeforeunload and jquery's .unload but I still need a way to get the username variable that's IN flash INTO the HTML, then use a php script to run the delete username mysql query.
If not, any insight on how I might pass the username variable to the html to hold onto it after the user makes their username so it can be involved with the .unload function running the php script?
EDIT::::: Maybe is there a way to create a UNIQUE string of numbers with php then pass that var to flash to include with the mysql row then since i already have that var since it was created on the html side, just along with the unload, have it delete the row that has that unique id?
If anyone things this idea would be the best approach, and if i used something like md5(uniqid(microtime()) . $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] . $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']) to make a random iD how could i go about storing the result in a var i could place in the flash vars param then again in the jquery unload or javascript onbeforeunload if that would be better .
See, the '&' symbol is in a URL, it does not signify a new variable. So when I use loadVars to grab the variable (that contains the URL), flash just quits reading at the '&' symbol. How can I escape? the character.
View 3 RepliesI have a case where I have a "drop-down box" in an HTML webpage with some JQuery calculations, looks something like this:[code]What I'm trying to do is have this Flash ActionScript 3 Application (embedded on the same HTML page) grab a variable from the drop-down box. Now, using FlashVars is fine, except it doesn't account for when the selection is changed (obviously), but..Is there a way to reload the variable into Flash real-time when the user changes the drop-down box selection?

I have this website that has several sections(Abouts Us, Projects, Services ect.) in it and I want it to automatically go to one of them(Services) if people enter the website through a url I am sending through a email campaign about Services. I know I can just attach a variable to the url but it seems I have to specify the .swf so that the url just loads that .swf and not the webpage.

I want to declare a variable in a class for an instance of an object that was added in the Flash IDE.
Example:
I have symbols for several types of panels that all subclass Panel.
To each panel symbol in the library, I add a button and give it an instance name "defaultButton."
This is really convenient, however, I want a defaultButton property for for my Panel class, and cannot find a way to do it. If I try adding a defaultButton property it throws errors:
ActionScript Code:
public class Panel: extends MovieClip{
public var defaultButton:Button; //as an example. Getters and setters also don't work
}
I also cannot check for the existence of defaultButton in code:
ActionScript Code:
public function GetDefaultButton():Button {
if(this.defaultButton)
return this.defaultButton;
else
Throw new Error("Panels are supposed to have a Button instance named 'defaultButton' added using the Flash IDE");
}
...possibly undefined error.
Is there any way for my class to enforce/ recognise the existence of the defaultButton instance added using the IDE in my Class?
Let's say I have three symbols (whether they are movie clips or graphics, I'm not sure yet, but let's assume they're movie clips). Okay three movie clips, each is 5 frames of animation. The clips are named bugs1, bugs2, and bugs3.
Okay, now I have a variable named bugsvalue. Here's what I want to do:
If bugsvalue == 1, I want bugs1 to appear on the screen. If bugsvalue == 2, I want bugs2 to appear on the screen. And if bugsvalue == 3, I want bugs3 to appear on the screen.
There's two ways I think this can work, but logistically don't know if either one will work. We can have all 3 on the screen, but have their visibility set to 0. When the variable is equal to their value, their visibility is set to 100 and they appear. I don't like this approach because it's means having all three on the screen, which increases demand on the computer.
The other way to do it is to have none of them on the screen. Then when their variable is equal, have the clip actually appear and then when the variable isn't equal anymore, to have that clip disappear.
If this is confusing, is there a way I can provide a .FLA so perhaps you can see what I want to happen?
All movie clips are in the library, but I don't know how to call something from the library to appear on the stage, and then disappear again when I don't need it on the screen anymore.
I am currently develoing a flash game and I am trying to spawn 2 different symbols from a class. I have a Class called 'PLayerClass', which contains a variable called 'hero' which I assign a symbol to. This works fine with 1 symbol but I have no idea or if it is possible to assign a different symbol to the variable 'hero'. The 2 symbols are 'soldierOrange' and 'soldierGrey'. For both of these symbols I have matching classes (ie. soldierOrange.as).soldierOrange.as
Code:
package {

I know this is pretty simple but all that I have read doesn't make much sense to me. I have one swf calling another swf that I have embedded into an htnl. In other words just calling another html page in a seperate window. In one.swf (runing in broswer) I use the below to call another html page passing the variable NewLessonArray. This contains an array of completed chapters.

All that is returned that I can see is object Object. But since I am passing on a address line into another swf embedded in a html page I am unable to determine that correct syntac for retrieving the information.
An AIR application that load an html page which contain some forms. I want to pass values from flash to html and then submit data. Don't suggest other possible variants, i have experience using URLLoader, amfphp, blazeds e.t.c. Idea it's to pass that from flash to html form, and then submit that information to server using html page. How can be do that? Or maybe in an web application (not desktop)?
View 2 RepliesI have a flash SWF that passes a variable as a parameter to a javascript function in my HTML page. Somehow I need to put that value of that parameter into a global variable I can use outside the html javascript function that actually receives it from the SWF function that passes it. Ultimately I will store that value in a hidden form field in the HTML so I can reuse it elsewhere.
Using an alert box, I can see my desired variable data is being passed by the AS2 function but I can't figure out a way to access it from outside the javascript function. Here's a screen print of the alert and what I see when I try to reference it outside the function. Here is a link to a screen pic that demonstrates that
This is a code snippet that starts with the javascript function that receives the variable. YES, I know the"mailLink = str" is not valid. It just demonstrates how off the mark I am.
Code:
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
var mailLink = null;
function callJavascript(str) {

I have an HTML button that I need to dynamically assign to an AS3 variable when clicked (in order to load an .mp3). I am using externalInterface.call to collect javascript variables - I am just unsure how to change these dynamically when a button is clicked.
View 2 RepliesI'm trying to remake a project that i did earlier in as2. Now i'm trying to build it in AS3.
It was a simple tool to convert text to hieroglyps. In the library I have all the different hieroglyfs and they are exported for actionscript with identifiers a,b,c,d,....
When i used AS2 i could accomplish this with this simple function
Code:
function convertWord(word){
for(i=0;i<word.length;i++){
[Code]....
But i don't find such an easy way in as3. How can i use a string variable as identifier to put a symbol on the stage.
I have to dynamic text boxes; one is for articles and the other is supposed to bu for navigation of the articles. I have a variable set up for the article dynamic text box and I want the navigation part to be filled in via text file. so I need to find a way for the information that's fed in to the navigation part to functions as buttons and when they are clicked a variable should pass though flash telling is what story to display. for instance if you click stereohype then storyvar == stereohype. see what I mean? I could do it all in flash but i'm trying to make it where I don't have to touch the flash file after it's completed and everything can just be manipulated via text files with html php xml you name it, what ever works.

not to bad, so now your html is loading the swf with the url variable. the problem is this data is hard coded into the html.now for the question. how do i get the html to pass the url variable it receives onto the flash?
I'm trying to create a simple SWF file that can receive the name of a FLV file in the HTML file and play it since I have many FLV files. Basically using the technique of FlashVars. I've set the contentPath/source in the components to be blank, and set my actions in the first frame to be player.source = filename, as was instructed to do so in a Flash book I am reading. I then set the "filename" variable to a file in the same path as the web page in the HTML file, however, all I get is a blank Flash player skin. The FLV file will not load. I also tried setting the "filename" variable to load the FLV from a public website in the same domain and on another domain, but it still doesn't work.

View 3 RepliesI'm trying to send a variable from an HTML into Flash in order to modify it based on the value. I generally know how FlashVars works in AS3, so I did some quick reading for AS2 and made a test swf.
[URL]
In my swf, the first frame only has this code:
Code:
if (_root.tester == undefined) {
var passed:String = "Nothing Passed";
} else {
var passed:String = _root.tester;
}
texty.text = passed;
According to what I've read and what my code is, this should work. It should read the value of video as the value of _root.tester (check the HTML code), yet it's always listed as undefined.
Is it possible to add code (...html or php?) to an html link (i.e the link will be featured in an html website) that passes a variable into the flash site it links to (just something simple like '_root.pageChoice = "home3" '? So when the site opens the swf turns to a certain page?This will be necessary as there will be links to the site from different html sites and each will need to see a different version of a certain page.

I need to take that JS variable value, and slap it into a String for treatment.I looked at the work it would take to use SWFObject, and since this little swf is going onto literally thousands of pages, manually hacking each and every one is just not worth it.
