Actionscript 3 :: Assign URLVariables Result To A String Variable?
Sep 1, 2010
In the following example (yes, I am coding on my timeline while I try to work this out - I know, I know) I am loading an SWF in an HTML page and then directing the SWF to get the query parameters from the current URL. The query parameter will contain the source for the video to play.
This seems straight forward to me but I cannot get myURL = urlVars.videoloc; to work. More specifically, urlVars.videoloc seems to be undefined rather than holding the query parameter from the URL. All other variables are correct; both wholeURL and urlVars are defined.[code]...

I'm in the process of building a thumbnail image gallery using actionscript and xml. I have an array in flash that loads in the XML data and then assigns each node from the array to either a movieclip, dynamic text field, etc. My problem lies in trying to assign a variable (in flash) to the value of my URL from XML, which in theory should simply grab the URL string from my XML file. Keep in mind, everything works fine except for assigning a string value from xml to my variable "linkVar" in Flash. Please pay close attention to "linkVar" in the code that follows.
ActionScript Code:
XML
<images>
<pic>
<image>images/flower.jpg</image>

Is it possible to use the underscore character in a URLVariables variable name? For instance, the following code outputs "my%5Fusername=foo" instead of "my_username=foo".
import flash.net.URLVariables;
var variables : URLVariables = new URLVariables("my_username=foo");
trace(variables.toString());
Just as in the trace, the "%5F" shows up instead of the underscore in the request. Is there some way I can get the underscore character to show up instead?

I'm trying to do a test on the length of a string and then call a function depending on the result. This is the pertinent excerpt from the fla file:
Code:
_loc4._comment = candles[_loc3].comment;
// I want to find out the length of _comment and call differently depending
_loc4.onRollOver = function () {
if (_loc4._comment.length > 0 && _loc4._comment.length < 60) {
show_comment(this._comment, this._x + this._parent._x, this._parent._parent._y - 50);
} else {
show_comment(this._comment, this._x + this._parent._x, this._parent._parent._y - 100);
}};
Basically I want to check the length (in characters) of _loc4.comment and if its under 60 call with an offset of 50 and if its not call with an offset of 100.

I ve a bit of missunderstood about functions: as i read the functions works:
basically 2 types:
named (can be lonely)
unamed (need and object)
- can i define a function wherever i want? ( _root, MC...) and call it from everywhere?, before or after i created it?
- if the variables of a function are local variables of that function. How can i store the result of a calculation of the function, in a variable outside it?

I create various movieClips with TextFields in them using the following function.
function AddLabel(Label,L) // create a MovieClip with a Text Field. {
obj = this.createEmptyMovieClip("mc" + L,L);
var tf = new TextFormat();
tf.font = "Arial";
tf.size = 12;
[Code] ....
Lets say that I use the above function with the following statement:
JimMC = AddLabel("JimVision",1);
Then I try to assign a string to the above movieClip with some embedded html like so:
JimMC.txt.htmlText = "This is my test < a href='[URL]'>link</ a>.";
When I try to run the above the results come out blank. When I list my variables I do see that my TextField is being assign the text and html code. What I also notice is that the textWidth and textHeight value become zero. Why my results are blank? Why do the textWidth and textHeight values become zero?

How would I go about refferencing a variable and then turning it into a string (if that is the correct terminology). e.g:
[Code]...
I need the result of variable something to end up inside the speech marks without loosing its obvious refference to the variable.

f you know PHP...then you know that you can create a string variable...and then use the value of that variable to declare another variable. like this:
PHP Code:
<?php$foo = "haha";$i{$foo} = "success";print $i{haha};?>
and it would display "success"...or like this:
PHP Code:
<?php$foo = "haha";$$foo = "success";print $haha;?>
and it would also display "success".

I am trying to pass FlashVars into public class EventDispatcher to set the path to data.xml. I need it because the name and path of the xml file will be dynamically created. I need to use Flashvar in order to access the correct path.I was able to pass Flashvar from html page on timeline this way:
Actionscript Code:
var Flashvars:String = LoaderInfo(stage.loaderInfo).parameters.xmlfile;
Then, I was able to use it with new UrlRequest;
Actionscript Code:
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest(Flashvars);
This method works really good, but this solution only works on timeline.I need to implement this technique in the class. Before I setup a static var for with the path to xml file. I'd like to be able to get FlashVar withing this class and assign this string to 'public static var DATA_XML_URL:String' I have there. This way I can pass Flashwar to the project I already have.
Actionscript Code:
import flash.events.Event; import flash.events.EventDispatcher; import flash.display.Sprite; import flash.display.LoaderInfo; import flash.display.MovieClip; import flash.display.Stage;public class ConfigManager extends EventDispatcher {

I have a String variable in my flex (flash builder 4) application containing CSV data. I need to allow the user to download this data to a local file. For example, giving them a "csv" button to click and it might present them with a save file dialog (and I would be sending the contents of my string variable).Is this possible / how ?I am using the ResuableFX component for the datagrid to csv. This the code I ended up with that works to save the string to a text file for the user (in a web browser):
var dg2CSV:DataGrid2CSV = new DataGrid2CSV();
dg2CSV.includeHeader=true;
dg2CSV.target=adgEncounters;

Here is what I have so far:[code]As you can see, I've got it to a point where I can trace the variables in the function correctly.
