ActionScript 2.0 :: Can't Access Variable From Outside Of The LoadVars Object's Scope
Feb 23, 2004You will find enclosed a ".zip" file in wich there's a ".fla" file, a ".txt" file and 6 ".jpg" images. Frame 1 of the FLA only has a "Preload" class/constructor found on another site and works well. Frame 2 launches the graphic interface construction. The file "externalVar.txt" has one variable "maxVin" with a value of 6.
I would like to know WHY i can't acces this variable from outside of the loadVars object's scope (i would better say from outside of its ".onLoad" methode scope). In fact, when i trace my variable "maxVinNum" from outside of this function, flash player return "undefined". Even if i declare "maxVinNum" on the _root (_root.maxVinNum). For information, at the start of frame 2, i have let an instruction in comment: //var maxVinNum = 6; When we activate this instruction, then the variable is directely declared and everything works well. This test allow us to verify that scripts are not bugged. Here is the script of frame 2, some of you may understand quickly what's wrong :

Xml :: Flex - Access The Value Of An Attribute Using A String Variable?
Aug 1, 2011Using e4x in flex:
var attr : String = "foo";
var xml : XML =
<resultSet>
<node foo="1"/>
</resultSet>;
How can I use the variable "attr" to access
xml.node.@foo
I thought I could do it with
xml.node.@[attr]
But this doesn't seem to work. How can I access this attribute by a dynamic value like this?
Both
xml.node.@[attr];
and
xml.node.attribute(attr);
work, as Constantiner suggested.
Updates:
Say I have an XMLList in this form:
var bar:XML =
<resultSet>
<node>value</node>
</resultSet>;
I want to filter the original xml above by matching "foo" attributes with the "value" from node in bar.
Essentially I want a sublist of the original xml such that
xml.node.@foo == bar.value
for each xml row in the original value
As Constantiner mentioned, I can filter the original list by the value in foo, but what if I want to filter on multiple values?
Can I do something like:
xml.node.(bar.node.contains(attribute(foo)) ? attribute(foo) : null);
Or perhaps a cleaner method instead of the null?

PHP :: MySQLI Values Returning Bits And Ints As String
Feb 24, 2012I have a project made in flex, using php data services to access a sql server database, and I need to convert it to mysql, I have changed all my php services from sqlsrv to mysqli. Something like this:
$this->connection = mysqli_connect(SERVER,USERNAME,PASSWORD,DATABASE); // Start Connection
$ssqlstring = "select * from Users";
$runssql = mysqli_query($this->connection, $ssqlstring);
while($user = mysqli_fetch_array($runssql)) {
$users[$user["ID"]] = $user;
} return $users;
It worked fine on sqlsrv but with mysqli it returns to flex the INT, BIT or DATE values as string the main Datatypes on mysql are INT,VARCHAR,BIT(1),DATETIME,DATE (same as sqlsrv)
and on the flex the return types are mainly as object[]
ActionScript 2.0 :: LoadVars Can't Access URL - Then Freezes
Apr 19, 2006You use a loadVars object (or even a loadVariables object) to get some data from a URL , but the server of that URL is down (or some kind of problem is happening with it),,.. and then it's as if your flash movie is just looping forever to get it?
Ofcourse, you then get the window saying something like "A script in this movie is letting your movie stop working. Do you want to abort the script" more or less.
Is there some kind of timeout function that I can use, in case loadVars can't access that URL, then it just breaks, and continues normally????? Ofcourse, giving a bad URL , will just give an onLoad event, with a "false" parameter, indicating that the URL wasn't loaded successfully.. but I'm talking about when the URL actually exists, but say the server is startign up, or there is a problem with, say, the Apache server on there... or something.
Javascript :: Returning A Byte String To ExternalInterface.call Throws An Error?
Jan 21, 2010I am working on my open source project Downloadify, and up until now it simply handles returning Strings in response to ExternalInterface.call commands.
I am trying to put together a test case using JSZip and Downloadify together, the end result being that a Zip file is created dynamically in the browser, then saved to the disk using FileReference.save. However, this is my problem:
The JSZip library can return either a base64 encoded string of the Zip, or the raw byte string. The problem is, if I return that byte string in response to the ExternalInterface.call command, I get this error:
Error #1085: The element type "string" must be terminated by the matching end-tag "</string>"
ActionScript 3:
var theData:* = ExternalInterface.call('Downloadify.getTextForSave',queue_name);
Where queue_name is just a string used to identify the correct instance in JS.
JavaScript:
var zip = new JSZip();
zip.add("test.txt", "Hello world!
");
var content = zip.generate(true);
return content;
If I instead return a normal string instead of the byte string, the call works correctly.I would like to avoid using base64 as I would have to include a base64 decoder in my swf which will increase its size.
Finally: I am not looking for a AS3 Zip generator. It is imperative to my project to have that part run in JavaScript
Professional :: Query String Variable Based On Coldfusion Template Body Element Id
Jan 25, 2010I'm using a Coldfusion Dreamweaver template with cfinclude tags. The header contains a flash movie where I'd like to pass 2 variables via a query string to load the correct image and menu button based on the variables in the ActionScript.
Example: <param name="movie" value="flash/header_v8.swf?pic=1&button=1" />
pic variable can be 1 - 3 and button variable can be 1 - 7 depending on the each pages body element id. So the logic would be something like this for my flash movie:
if body id =home, then pic=1 and button=1
if body id =about, then pic=current variable and button=2
if body id =page3, then pic=1 variable and button=3
[Code].....
What's the best way to pass these variables depending on the current page body element id?
ActionScript 2.0 :: Security Preventing LoadVars Access?
Apr 3, 2007Im sure this is a classic problem. I am doing a flash project for a client.
This flash movie (lieing on Server A) calls an XML file on a totally different server (Server B). HOWEVER, it never reaches this xml file (although it reads the xml correctly when the flash is run on my computer). But to get it to run on my computer, I had to go into the global security panel and add the location of the SWF.
Now I tried everything to get the XML loaded on the SWF which lies on Server A. I went into the global security panel and added the folder on Server A containing the SWF, and the folder on Server B containing the XML file. However, it's still not working.
ActionScript 2.0 :: LoadVars - Getting Variable From PHP?
Sep 27, 2004I try to get a variable from php : I have a button with :
on (release) {
$myLoadVars = new LoadVars();
$myLoadVars_received = new LoadVars();
$myLoadVars.var_to_php = myComboBox.getSelectedItem().label;
$myLoadVars.sendAndLoad ( "script.php",$myLoadVars_received);
$affich_var = $envelope_received.var_from_php; }
PHP //
script.php :
<? $result = mysql_query( "select counter from data_base where data1='".$_POST['var_to_php']."'");
$counter = mysql_fetch_row($result);
echo ("&var_from_php=$counter[0]");
?>
My result of all this : nothing happens. no variable is received from php. (The is no request ( from the firewall ) from flash to access the internet). So I think the error is around the sendandload. By the way, the php script works perfectly with loadVariablesNum.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Returning A Variable To Another Class From A Loading Function?
Aug 5, 2009However, on a bright note its coming!!!! So far, everything is going well and I am now seeing the light with AS3I do have a question on returning a variable from a function that loads an external CSS. This particular function is located inside a LoadStyleSheet.as class along with another public function that sets text properties to fields when accessed. What I am looking for is accessing the stylesheet after its been loaded in another class. I know in AS2 I could use the Delegate method for something similar to this situation. Not sure what the next step is for AS3. Anyhow, function script is below.

View 1 RepliesActionScript 2.0 :: Access That Array From A Function Using A LoadVars Object Called LoadDVDsText?
Feb 28, 2004I'm using an onLoad function (importing variables from a text file) and I'm creating arrays within a for loop in the onLoad function.
I'm using something like this:
Code:
this["dvdAry" + i] = this[indexAry[i]].split("##");
So say the first array is called dvdAry0 .
How can I access that Array from a function? Please note the function, the onLoad function and the arrays are all being created on the same timeline.I've tried tracing the array dvdAry0 from the function after the array is created in the onLoad function, but it comes up as undefined. Is the array created on the object that I'm using onLoad on?I'm using a loadVars Object called loadDVDsText.
ActionScript 2.0 :: Use LoadVars To Send POST Without Attached Variable Name?
Jan 12, 2009Let's say I'd like to post some data to a server side script. If my data is
var data:String = "<data><tag1>hi</tag1></data>";
and I'd like to send it with LoadVars, I can do:
var lv:LoadVars = new LoadVars()
lv.data = data;
lv.sendAndLoad("http://thescript/", lv, "POST");
However, this results in the POST looking like this:
data=<data><tag1>hi</tag1></data>
if I want to send it without the variable name (no "data=", just the actual data), how is this possible? In AS3 I can just use the .data property of a URLRequest and it will work, however I can't find a way to do this in AS2.
