I am trying to create a flash movie that takes variables from the address bar of the page in which it is contained, and then displays the results.If possible I would like to use PHP in conjunction with flash to achieve this.
View 1 RepliesAny tips or has done displaying ip address in flash? I just need to display in a simple flash page the ip address or location of the person who is viewing this file?
View 2 RepliesI would like to make a website in which I can pass variables from the Address Bar to the Flash movie such as the website URL...What is the best way to pass variables the same way they are passed with the forces site?

View 3 RepliesIn my flex 3.5 project, I have a class (MyItem) extending Canvas. In this I have declared a private variable named itemInfo which is type of ItemInfo (which is another subclass of Canvas).
I wrote code to hide/show the iteminfo when the mouse is over/out of MyItem. I am not getting any error but it is not showing the itemInfo as expected, when debugged the code, surprisingly the variables tab in debug window does not have the variable itemInfo at all.
I have declared a dummy:int variable and it is also not visible.
I'm looking at some requirements for an upcoming flash project. One requirement is for the browser url in the address bar to change as a user clicks around in the flash movie so that a user might copy/paste said address into an email and another visitor will be brought to the same location. Is this possible?

View 2 RepliesI need to display a few different variables inbetween static text in a dynamic text box. In the movie the users click on pick 1 of 3 characters and 1 of 3 backgrounds. The variables are set onRelease of the button, ie

_root.textBox.CharSelectText.text = "Nutmeg";
} else if(charSelected == "char2"){ //else if

To display their name in a tester dynamic text field with just their name in it and no static text
Underneith the images of the characters and bg's is a sentence that gets filled out after you make your choices, ie "One day, [character name] went to the [lbackground name]."
I also need to have the character name and background name different colours from the rest of the text, is there a way to hook up a css file to give just those words different properties from the rest of the text?
I'm working on a pricing calculator and it is all dynamic. I have a local php server that is spitting out variables depending on the level (1,2,3,4)[code]...
View 2 RepliesI have read a few tutorials about adding variables to the text within a dynamic text box. However none of them work for me. I would like the box to display the Score of a game (called Score in my code, var Score:Number = 0). I can calculate the score fine, but it is not displaying in the Box. I need to load my Level Complete screen, with the text box inside. Could i do this by creating it using AS3 every time (by defining its properties in the code), or can i add it to my library (and define its properites there) and then declare an instance of it?
View 2 RepliesI am working on a file that displays two variables, a and b. The two variables are percentages, and they both start at value 50. Now what I want to do is to display both variables, and when the user presses the 'up' key a should go up and b should go down. When the user presses the 'down' key, it should be the other way around. And a+b= always 100.
I made this little action script:
var a:Number = 50;
var bNum:Number = 50;
if(Key.getCode() == Key.UP) {
a++;
b--;
[Code] .....
Then I've made two text areas, both in their own layer. I've put them both on 'dynamic text' and where it read 'Var:', I have entered 'a' for the first and 'b' for the second. In both text areas, I entered '50'. Obviously, it doesn't work. I test the movie, and nothing happens when I press the 'up' or 'down' keys.
have made a small flash game (my first). Its a simple shotting style game and I want to display 3 variables at the end.The variables calculate fine but I am unable to display them in the end screen. Can someone guide me how to do this. I have uploaded the fla file I have created. If someone is kind enough to add a few lines of code my email
View 1 RepliesI need to be able to pass some variables FROM flash and append it to the end of my address. I assumed that if I used LoadVars, I can append the vars to the end of the string like this:
ActionScript Code:
send_btn.onRelease = function ()
{
var my_lv:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
[Code].....
This issue is my constant pain, and has set my project back some time. I'm creating a message system for my game, it's supposed to record events that happened during travel, 3 vars per message (topic, in game date, content)All the vars are in an external as file and a public class. The problem is they return blank in the mc's textfields while displaying correctly on the main timeline textfields at the same time. This is the code sitting inside the mc that doesn't work.
Code:
import Variables;
var variables:Variables = new Variables();
function setMsgSlot (e:Event) {[code]....
on the main timeline, even in the same frame, works perfectly, and i can't figure out why.
how I export the thing (as an image, or a movie, and in any format) I can't see the text. This is especially frustrating because text forms the entire basis of my animation.Tried converting text to movie clips, no difference. The weird part is, I was able to test the thing early on with no problem-- text displayed and everything. I should add: I have used MULTIPLE fonts... and I think this was about when things started not working.I'm working on a deadline and if you know how to fix this, it would make a big difference to my life.

I am trying to say to a movie clip, which is defined in a external xml file, to play. now, i got that value from xml and i hold it in a variable But how to say now that this is an instance name of some movie clip on a stage and that movie needs to play.
everything i tried is just giving me an error like:
TypeError: Error #1006: value is not a function. if i write the code like this:
Code:
targetit.play();
or
TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert XMLList@23e20d29 to flash.display.MovieClip.
if i write the code like this:
Code:
MovieClip(targetit).play();
targetit is an variable that holds the instance name of movie clip
how to refer to a movieclip's name through a variable.If I set root variable "currentMovie = bigRed_mc;", how can I use that variable name to instruct the movie to address the movie clip name stored in said variable?
for instance "_root.currentMovie.gotoAndPlay("destroy");" wouldn't work because it would simply look for that movie clip name and come up empty.I thought "_root[currentMovie]gotoAndPlay("destroy"); would work, with or without parenthesis, but it comes up with syntax errors either way. Can you use a variable to store and refer to a movie clip name and it's properties?
I have a variable call php_variable that loads from the php. It echos all the necessary variables. I have 2 array, Tel_start and Tel_area. The messages.text is just a text field I use to test if things are loading properly.
[Code]...
It display the correct string. But when I use Tel_start[0] like above, I got undefined. So here, the actual quesetion, what's the proper way of storing those variables and displaying it?
I have a question regarding ActionScript 3.0 and using buttons to change numeric values in a Flash project. I am trying to create a program that adds and subtracts numbers when buttons are clicked. Here is the code that I have written for the first button that I want to use:

//Number values//
var withdraw = 0;
Amount_total.text = withdraw;
[Code]....
However the problem I have is that the K200disp text only displays 1,2,5,10,15 etc while the Amount_total text seems to randomly display 200 or lots of 0s!

I have a move clip with several buttons inside; their rollover seems fine. i am trying to get the buttons in the clip to address / go to the main movie timeline.

View 2 RepliesMy _root movie is nothing more than a interface with navigation buttons. When someone clicks a button another swf is loaded into an empty movie clip on _root.
My Problem:I understand loaders and use them all the time, however, I still to this day have never gotten a loader to work with loading an external movie into a currently playing movie. (ie: in my _root movie you press the "Searching" button and searching.swf is loaded into _root.contents --> contents is the empty movie clip)So anyways... where does the loader go? The only results I've ever had is as SOON as the loadMovie method is called the movie hangs until the entire movie clip is loaded. Then the loader runs... thus making it totally useless.

I am trying to create an interactive flash that users will be able to manipulate certain events in the game. I was was wondering if it was possible to1. Make objects appear or disappear in a frame if a variable is set to a particular number.n example being a window, if you click on it, it opens and closes if clicked on again. If you open the window and go to a different frame, is there a way to make it be open when you go back? 2. Determine the next frame. An example being a door, if the variable is 1 then the door would open when clicked, to the next frame. If it is 0 then it would tell you you need a key or such.I wrapped my head around creating variables and manipulating variables using basic functions.The only thing I am having problems with is if there is an "if"chieve these two tasks.Edit: Figured out number 2:'blueButton' is the variable, when pressed it changes its stored number by two. I linked it to another button which this code is attached to...
PHP Code:
on (release) {
if (_root.blueButton == 2) {
