I'm trying to pass the geolocation over Javascript to Flash. The .SWF is embedded in a HTML site and set to AllowScriptAccess="always". For some reason the getGEO() function is not receiving the call.
[Code]...
I am trying to make a flash movie display the Geo-location of the user (city and state), just like those JavaScripts that you see everywhere that say something like: "welcome to my page, from CITY NAME, STATE NAME."
After much searching, I believe that I may have found a solution, but I do not know how to implement it. It requires the use of a ".as" file, which I have no idea what to do with. Here is where I am at:
I am not allowed to post URLs, but you can google the phrase "flash geoip javascript" and it's the first link. -MaxMind GS WebService
That URL shows the javascripts to use (which are easy enough to implement by themselves), but at the very bottom of that page is a link to an "ActionScript wrapper" which allegedly facilitates usage with Flash. I just don't know what do with with the "ActionScript wrapper" or where to go from here.
I have Mac OS widget with flash. If to click on flash the URL in a window of a browser should open. But it does not occur. I use code like this:
DETAILS_HTML='object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,0,0" width="700" height="460" id="start" align="middle">'+
'param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always" />'+
'param name="flashvars" value=SomeParam>'+

I am looking for a simple and straightfoward example of how I can pass the value of a variable into flash using javascript.Specifically, I'd like to use javascript to pass the filename of an external video file that I would like to load into my flash movie.I'd also like to call a function in the SWF that plays the movie once the filename as been passed to the flash movie.External Inferface looks like the way to goI've found a few decent AS2.0 examples, but converting them to AS3.0 has proven difficult and many of the examples are much too complex for what I am trying to do.
View 4 RepliesI'm trying to use the geolocation framework in my flex website to determine the position of the user. I researched it and it seems a fairly easy way to do this by using the as3 framework geolocation. But I'm facing the following problem. When instantiating the mxml where i have: import flash.sensors.GeoLocation; (i can use intellisense the complete this!) private var geoLocation:GeoLocation;
It gives an error it cant find the class flash.sensors::Geolocation. It should be in the playerglobal.swc that can be found under ./Adobe Flash Builder 4.5sdks4.5.1frameworkslibsplayer10.2. I've decompiled this swc and can see in the xml file that the method is there(as you can see below)

i'm currently trying to call a javascript function and pass values to it. but i'm not really familiar in using the addcallback since i only tested on calling a function from flash without passing anything to the function.
Basically, i'm going to retrieve the values of a node from xml. and then i will assign those values to a variable in flash. now what i'm going to do next is pass this value to a javascript parameter..is it done using externalinterface?
I just need to throw the value to the javascript function parameter and no return values to the actionscript. The event is that whenever an image is click, the corresponding value for each image is passed to the javascript function.

I am attempting to get Flash - Javascript communication working using ExternalInterface.addCallback, using code found at http:[url].... I am trying to pass parameters into Flash using a javascript function, but it only works if I insert a 'window.alert' line into the code. Once I click OK, the parameter str is passed into Flash ok. The function is:
function sendToFlash(str) { if (str=="tools"){ window.alert(str); getFlashMovie("richFunctionality_corp").sendTextToFlash(str);[code]....
If I remove the window.alert, str isn't passed into Flash. Is this a browser speed thing? A value menu is passed out of Flash using getURL("index.php?pageID=239&menu=tools"), i.e. the page reloads and a php script sends the appropriate str value to the sendToFlash javascript function based upon the value of menu.
I have a flash player embedded on page x.php?user=john using swfobject. The player calls the xml file content.php to get the results. in content.php i have $_GET['user']. I'm trying to get the user name from the url id and fetch results based on that. I'm however getting a 500 error. I don't think content.php is able to access the user variable. if i just put in the username "john" instead of $_GET['user'] then it works. How can i get this to work with $_GET['user']

How do I pass flash array to javascript function without using json?
View 3 RepliesI think this is fairly straight forward but my skills lie in JavaScript and Ruby rather than flash so I want to run this past a few other minds :) I have a flash file that will take pictures of the user via their web cam. I want to take that newly created image, base64 encode it then pass it to a JavaScript function. That JavaScript function will essentially take this data then embed it into a hidden form element on the page.

View 1 RepliesI have a flash application written in actionscript 2.0 that shows vector architectural maps and works perfectly on common web browsers. There are many interactions with javascript functions called by user events on the webpage, such as zooming to a certain x,y point. This event is usually accomplished via the mouse wheel.
Now I have to make sure that the thing works on tablet pc, in particular the Galaxy Tab. The first thing I have to fix is that, obviously, there is no mouse wheel and the user naturally tries to pinch zoom the flash application, with the result of zooming the entire web browser.
What I need is to listen to the multitouch gesture and, when a pinch zoom event is called, disable the default zooming event and call a javascript/flash function that allows my flash app to zoom only the objects that need to be zoomed: in few words, the browser stays still and only a part of the flash zooms in or out.
I already have working javascript functions to call flash object functions for the zooming purpose, so I just need to connect them to some android things that tell me when the user tries to pinch zoom in and when he tries to pinch zoom out (and possibly the x,y point of zoom).
I created a button that looks up the coordinates of the device. There is no errors in the code but for some reason which is eluding me, the event is not being triggered.
Here is my code:
protected function lblCheckIn_clickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void
{
if (Geolocation.isSupported)

View 1 RepliesI am really pulling my hair out with this one. Flash game, container swf loads a img using the loader class. The image is the map which will be used on the levels. The problem im having is that I originaly had each level load the map image, convert to a bitmap, and us it to create x and y's for colision detection.
the problem was that the game was loading and sometimes the map image hadent loaded. It also ment that each level was loading the same image and if the above happened on the 3rd, 4th level it was very annoying. So I need a way to load the image in the parent, but have it available to the child, however it must be available as at bitmap to work.

I am dealing with the HTML page where my flash movie is embedded.
So I have a JavaScript function called getURLVar() that returns a string (a variable passed in the HTML page by the URL). That part works.
What I want to do is call that JavaScript function so I can pass its results into the flashVars property where you embed your .swf.
The following does not work
<embed src="MainPage.swf" flashVars="myFlashVar=<script language="'Javascript'>getURLVar()</script>" quality="high" menu="false" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" width="800" height="600" name="test" align="middle"

Im having a little problem making javascript communicate with actionScript, Here is the problem, i have a application that uses javascript to communicate with SWF and pass it some values, and the code was working in AS2 with the following:
[Code]....
in this example the aplication would pass key to the javascrip function and the function would put the value in the swf variable called _root.valor. So the problem is (as you already know) _root has gone in AS3. And every thing i tryed so far seems not to work. every thing i read so far was to embeb the swf in the js and use
root.loaderInfo.parameters.valor, well i dont want to use the embedSWF because i need to get the activeX cotnrol from my document. Is there any _root replacement? is anyway to get this to work at all ?
So I am trying to pass anything from javascript to an object, and use flashvars to retrieve its definition. Is it even possible? Here is the code-
Javascript
Code:
var user = window.external.GetUsername;
page_request.open('GET', 'http://www.mysite/members/tb/get_avatar.php?username='+user, true);
page_request.send(null);
[code]....
Of course this doesn't work. how would I get that variable "user" that is created in the javascript code, back to flash?
I'm trying to call a function in frame 1 of my SWF and also pass it a parameter.
I need to do this from elsewhere on the embedding HTML page using JavaScript.
For example call the function flashFunction(foo);
Does this require a listener in Flash that listens for the call, excepts "foo" and then calls the flashFunction and passes "foo" to it?
Can this be called directly without a listener?
I'm not that good with flash and even worst with javascript.I'm trying to create a flash site for a radio station that will show information from the facebook fan page.I search over the whole Internet and found little or no info on how to do this.
