Example:Lets imagine a html page with 2 swf embed inside. First swf has some UI, and second swf loads content.Is there a way to pass events or variables from the first swf to trigger stuff on the second? If yes, how?I would love to know the simplest way to achieve this.P.s- From what i understood from Lee's tuturial on swfObj, i can pass vars from html to the swf (using flashvars). Is there a way to pass from the swf to the html in a similar fashion?
I am creating an app in Flash Pro using AS3 for my wife to track our son's hockey progress. The app will have three sections: start, data entry, data retrieval.I have created the screens as separate classes to handle their individual functions. My data is stored in XML that I need to pass between these screens.I tried creating a separate class to handle my XML, but I am having trouble reading and writing to the new class. Is there a better way to handle passing this XML information around inside my application? Eventually I would like to have the app write to an external XML file then pull the new rewritten file back in. This code is in one of the .as files already, it's just not working yet.I added my files below (7 as and 1 fla Zipped) if you want to check them out.
I have 190 movieclips which display various types of information. When a user clicks on a movieclip, it has to tween larger but also send a string to a method. I'll probably e.currentTarget to use one function which contains a tween and I wondered if there was a quick way to pass string info in a similar way?
So, each movieclip has it's own value which can be passed to a method which will use that value. The only way I can think of so far is to have 190 functions which send the string data to the appropriate place. I'm trying to avoid that if I can.
So I'm building a little contact form in flash and it works, but it is passing along all of the font styling information into the email sent to the client. Kind of annoying. I want it just to send the plain text.
Here's what I'm using:
This code is in the actionscript, picking up the input text fields and posting them to the PHP file. It also tells a status box to update with current info:
Code: loadVariables("send_email.php?flashmo=" + random(1000), this, "POST"); message_status.text = "sending..."; var i = 0;
I am trying to pass information to a many dynamic text fields when rolling over various movieclips that are generated using a loop. I have tried everything I know but can not get pahting to work prpoerly. The rollover works in that the curser changes by does not execute the lines of code within the in line function.(see red, bolded text (towards bottom) for problem). the Attached zipped swf is what it looks like as is.
Code: //how many floors are there in the building? var floors:Number = 25;
Okay, there is something that I don't quite understand. I built a flash contact form in Flash CS4 and embedded the swf in my webpage using Dreamweaver CS4. I upload the files in my server but why it's not working? I created a test folder in my folder and it does work... (It doesn't work here) [URL] The problem is that I'm not receiving the information when the user enters and submits the information on the contact form. I do receive the information on the test link. I'm posting the Flash AS and PHP Code to see if anyone can point out any mistake that I'm doing.
I have some scrolling content (info). I've also made my own scroll bar.I want the scrollBar dragger to be positioned in relation to the info._y as the user scrolls info.I have created two vars: one that worsk out where info._y is as a percentage and the other that works out where the scroll._y dragger should be as a percentage...
Actionscript Code: var scrollBarPercent = Math.round(scrollBar.dragger._y / [code]........
also onMouseWheel working too.I need a small bit of code that takes the % of info._y and moves the scrollBar dragger to the same % but in relation to the Stage.height...so if projectGalleryPercent = 50%, make dragger._y 50% of Stage.height using scrollBarPercent.
I loaded a swf in another swf. Lets say in.swf is loaded in all.swf. But I need to pass some info from a movie clip inside of in.swf to another movie clip inside of all.swf.
I need to make a projects that when a section is rolled over a info box appears. It is similar if not exactly like the link below.I have a solid basic working knowledge of flash and actionscript. Been working with Flash for few years, but it has all been basic work, nothing too complex.
I am using Adobe Flash Media Streaming Server 3.5 but I can't find any output file (fx a xml file) that I can pull out info from and use on my website via a PHP or ASP script. It could be nice - in the website - to retrieve info like "online users attending", "running / streaming state" (online or offline) and other relevant info about the streaming, so I on the website can display how many that are online when a webtv event is streaming.
In FlashBuilder's compiler options (Properties->Flex Compiler), under "Adobe Flash Player options" there is an option for "Use a specific version", where you can tell it what Flash Player to link against:
How do I get this value at runtime? Note that I am not talking about the Flash Player version, but the version that the swf was linked against.

I need to create a scoreboard for my game. I want to be able to let my user submit the time it took to complete the game to my scoreboard. I have been able to purchase webspace with SQL, PHP.

I have a news page that I update with my stories. The info goes to a read.asp page that displays my info. I need to get the stories into a flash text field or box (anything really) so I can have the same news stories post. I can upload the file so you could look at it and tell me how to call the stories into flash.
I have a flash as2 file which loads pictures into a thumbnail slider through an external xml file. when i try it out in my pc it works, images load perfectly and i can view the thumbnails, but when i contain the flash in a php and upload it, it stops working, the images never load.i guess flash has an issue trying to pass the xml info through php, i tried searching for compatibility issues but couldn't find anything concrete...

Here's the thing.I am making my first game, a click and drag (dress up if you want to ) game...It is finished and working..But since it serves as an educational aid in history group, it would be great if I could somehow add some kind of pop-up window with text describing every item in game..For example "14th century bascinet developed from the steel cap bla bla bla...".And if that is not possible is there some other way all this info about these items (there is about 24 items in game) could be fitted in this kind of application

I would like to have a third party exchange english language text in a swf file with translation-text in other languages. They would like to do it via XML. Is there a place where I can look up some basic info on how to write XML code (beginner), or find a script that lets me exchange text/content via XML?
i am really trying to use AS3 but having many difficulties using common tasks that seemed straightforward before. i want to find out the totalframes of an SWF that has been externally loaded using the load method.[code]i tried using trace(ldr.totalframes) just to test it but continue to get errors when i do.
