ActionScript 2.0 :: Passing Variable To ASP Page Using LoadVariables
Mar 2, 2006here's another one about passing data to an asp page. I'm trying to pass a variable through a string to an asp page. I cannot understand why this is not working. Here is my code:
this.btn1.onRelease = function (){loadVariables("http://www.mywebsite.com/paragonstats/flashprogress.asp?pagename=introduction","POST");
}
If I paste my url in a browser, it triggers the asp page as it should. But this code is not working from flash. If I use getURL, it works, but it opens another browser window or redirects my movie. I'm just trying to track click through statistics. I've even set up a movie with just one button on the root with this code and it won't work.

Feb 25, 2002I have a JavaScript that generates a URL. The only thing left is to pass that "url" variable into Flash. I'm not sure if this is the right method I need to use or not, but these are the lines of ActionScript I've been working on...
on (release) {
loadVariablesNum ("index.html", 0, "POST");
getURL (url, "_self", "POST");
}
The JavaScript and Flash are both in index.html. I've tried several variations to get it to work, but still no luck. Anyone know what the ActionScript code should be to make Flash read the url variable and use that location (like a HTML form) to post it?

Aug 12, 2009A while ago Orange Gold fixed me up with some code to navigate buttons by using a key pad I altered the code so I could get it to load an xml picture with each change of button. It works where when the down key is pressed the 'down' state of the next button is activated and the next xml image (in this case 'firstImage') is activated. *However the problem is that whenever the mouse is clicked outside of the button the image reloads. This would probably be an easy fix, however it is only leading me to frustration.

Aug 28, 2011I have an MC object called with linkage to be treated as a class in the library,part of the code is what follows (what is relevant to this problem):[code]If I drag and drop the object from the library onto the stage to instantiate it and call the function from within the object, then there is no problem, and the code is executed with no problem. In the main movie clip, I want to create an instance of this class with code, add it to stage and call this function with the following code:[code]
Through the use of flags I have confirmed that we in fact enter the function setTable, and that this error is produced once I try to reference the cardArray.I do not declare the array outside that function because I need other functions in that MC to be able to see it. Relocating the declaration does not solve the problem, because then the interpreter advances to the lines where I reference other functions declared in the MC (which I want in there), and the same problem arise: it has not yet seen the declaration of functions like the custom shuffle function for arrays

loadit2.load(new URLRequest("signs.swf"));

Everything works. Cool. But, I now want to target something within the signs.swf. How do I do it though? What is the path? Do I have to give the child of signholder an instance name? Everything I try fails.
If I wanted the root timeline of the external swf to gotoAndPlay(2) for example,...would i say...
signholder.loadit2.gotoAndPlay(2) ???
var wow:MovieClip = loadit2.content as MovieClip;
wow.gotoAndPlay(2) ????

ActionScript 3.0 :: Music Player And Minimal Xml - Change The Way The MP3 File Is Called On
Jun 18, 2009Everything works perfect but i need to change the way the MP3 file is called on. I'm brand new with AS3 and XML but have a PHP background so I attempted to understand the script and have not had any luck. The index.htm file displays a very simple music player which calls on the button_mp3_player SWF. The FLA has a portion of code that calls on an XML file to load a particular song. What I need to do is remove the XML file completely and define the MP3 file name in the index.htm. I assume some AS3 code needs to be altered so that it does not call on the XML and also that the index.htm code needs to be altered to define the MP3.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Send The Variable X To Each Movieclip So That It Can Be Called From Within Each Movieclip Instead?
Aug 1, 2005I have a loop that creates movie clips where the movie clips are named mc_+ x for say x = 1 to 10 so the movieclips are called mc_1, mc_2.....mc_10.
What I need to do is the know which one of the movieclips is clicked on but more importantly the number i.e if movieclip mc_2 is clicked on then I need to use the value 2.
At the moment I am sending the value of x to be displayed in a text box within each movieclip:
_root.search.textfield.text = x;
Then I have a piece of actionscript that uses the value of x but I don't seem to be able to "re-read" the value of x back with:
var t = _root.search.textfield.text;
what I want is t = x is it to do with strings and number variables?is it possible to send the variable x to each movieclip so that it can be called from within each movieclip instead?

View 4 RepliesEmbed Accented Latin Fonts (like French) Into A Dynamic Text Field In Flash CS5 Called From A .txt File?
Jun 29, 2011I've been using Flash for a few years now and I've recently (5 months+) started using CS5 package.My query is how do I successfully embed accented latin characters into a "classic" dynamic text field in my compiled Flash movie that are called from an external text file. I've searched the various forums online and all the methods demonstrated have not worked.
What I've done so far is to to select my dynamic text field, click on "Embed" within the PROPERTIES area, choose the font and the weight, then add any of the foreign characters and/or glyphs to the "Also include these characters:" area then finish up and compile. When I run my SWF file, the glyphs and accented fonts are missing but all the other typical Latin characters show up.
I tried this same method in CS4 (because we have an old Mac in the office too), and almost the same thing happened except instead of completely missing out the glyphs and fonts, it showed a box (almost like an image placeholder) instead.
