I tried many Flash .swf before and they all can be scaled freely -- by using a width and height in the HTML, and sometimes in the URL params or flashvars. But is it true that all Flash object can be scaled? For example, can some Flash objects using absolute coordinates to plot graph so that every 10 pixels it marks 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and no matter what is done at the HTML or any where else, it just won't scale and the browser can't do anything about it either? Is there a way to scale it to half the size for that graph? (that is, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 is separated by 5 pixels instead of 10 pixels)
View 1 RepliesI am working on creating a Flash menu that, depending on the page calling the swf file, will show a specific frame just for that page. It works almost perfectly except for the very first time you access the swf during a given browser session. If you refresh the browser window, it will start working just fine after that as long as you stay in that same window.Incidentally, this is only for IE. It won't work at all in Firefox. It pulls the first set of frames, which is a template menu for one of the departments.The HTML code providing the variables:

I'm trying to read flashvars into my flash file by modifying the standard HTML published out of Flash CS5. The following isn't working:[code]
View 2 RepliesI am trying to create a param value in my html pages and having my swf access that variable but it's not working.
HTML PAGE (inside of the video player object tags)

Im new to placing external data into Flash. I just got CS3 and Im trying to use Flash to dynamically load XML data via a FlashVars call in the HTML.
The problem is I have followed the very straight forward AS2 Help files for using FlashVars and URL variables.I have placed the code directly from the Help file into the Html between
<noscript> <noscript>and i keep getting undefined.I have tried saving the file as flash 8 and i am publish flash 8.
Is it it possible to receive FlashVars from an html link? How would that be done?
View 14 RepliesI am really new at Flash. So I am trying to make a flash container that display Vimeo videos. Here is my actionscript.
var videoContainer:Sprite = new Sprite();
var moogaloop:Sprite; // the video player
var moogaplayer:*; // reference to the moogaloop api
var player_width :int = stage.stageWidth;
var player_height:int = stage.stageHeight;

And I want to set the vidId by URL. For example: [URL]. And it doesn't work. It works fine if I set the video id in open ()
As a PHP junior encountering Flex for the first time this scratches my brain for days. The flashvar contains the source of the video I want to play in the Flex video component. The HTML of the player looks like:
function createPlayer(videoSource){
document.writeln("<div id="player">");
document.writeln("<object width="489" height="414" FlashVars=""+videoSource+"">");
document.writeln("<param name="player" value="bin-debug/FlexPlayer.swf">");
document.writeln("<embed src="bin-debug/FlexPlayer.swf" name="player" width="489" height="414" FlashVars=""+videoSource+"">");
document.writeln("</embed>");
document.writeln("</object>");
document.writeln("</div>");
}
I tried to call the FlashVars in the FlexPlayer.mxml but it's not working. What I have to apply in the source in the mxml to access the FlashVars.
<s:VideoPlayer id="Player" left="0" top="0" width="497" height="414" skinClass="MySkin" source="FlashVars"/></s:Group>
So I'm building a Flash/HTML hybrid website that uses a Flash navigation. Within the index.html file there is an Iframe that loads the different pages of content. I used this method so the whole page didn't have to refresh only the content being loaded.
Well I have some buttons on the inner pages that will redirect to other inner pages. The problem with this is the Flash navigation is still stuck on the old page. The Flash nav says you're on the home page while the content being displayed is the about page. Get it?
I've looked into some articles on using FlashVars but it doesn't really apply to my site because of the Iframe.
I can load up my .swf in Firefox and using the flashvars url:
test.swf?movie=2 works fine
when i try to use: test.html?movie=2
it does not do my requested action. what tag do i need in the html to allow this to work.
In many tutorial i have find how to use FlashVars in embed or object tag of html. I used the FlashVars in an html file as follows:

Then in the fla I tried to display the userName in a text field. But its displaying undefined. Should I define any method in fla to access the FlashVars variable.
I am creating a simple image viewer using AS3 and getting image URLs from flashVars in the HTML. I want to use an if argument to have it perform one function if there is only one flashVar and another if there are more.
I have it reading the flashVars fine and can write if statments all day long, the trouble I am having is counting the number of flashVars being passed from the HTML. here is a real dumbed down version of what I am trying to do (which doesnt work because I can not figure out the correct process to follow):
[as]
var numberOfVars:Number = 0; // to store the number of flashVars
var paramObj:Object = LoaderInfo(this.root.loaderInfo).parameters; //get the flashVars

I hope someone can help me with my dilemma. I have built a video player in ActionScript 3.0 which consists of a FLA file which has the video player on it and a separate AS file that contains all my ActionScript 3.0 code for the video player. I have moves (FLV & MP4 files) stored on my Flash Media Server 3.0 server. If I hard code the name of the movie in the AS file and publish the FLA file, it creates an SWF file that will actually play the movie on the FMS3 server. That lets me know the video player works.

I'm trying to use FlashVars to pass a FLV path from html a FLVPlayback instance. I get how this is supposed to work, but I can't find any good documentation on the needed ActionScript. The closest thing I could find was a discussion about a script that looked something like this:
[Code]...
I am having trouble getting an flv dynamically into a swf file and then getting it to play in a browser.
The objective seems simple enough but I've hit a brick wall. A movie file is to play in the entire browser window (100%) and preserve aspect-ratio when the window is resized.This is done using this code, which is loaded as the document class (Vid.as) in an empty .fla project using CS3

I am sending variables from my html page:
Code:
<param name="FlashVars" value="nameCheck=boo&imageCheck=image01.jpg">
...in the parameters section of the flash object code.
I know that to extract the info I need to basically use:
Code:
var paramObj:Object = LoaderInfo(this.root.loaderInfo).parameters;
...in my as3 code but I am wondering what would be the syntax to return a text field containing the sent variable 'boo' and fill an image area with the file name from the variable 'imageCheck'?
I've got a weird problem with loading Flashvars into my flash application. I tried to isolate the code and try it in an other document, but the object returned is still empty.This is my HTML code:
<div id="Div1">
<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="630" height="671" id="testApp" align="middle">[code]......
It show begin nicely in the console window of Chrome, but it does not print the flashvars.
I wrote a simple flash loader that loads external swf and then calls javascript function to show div containing flash. I need to pass flashvars to loaded swf. I have read that I just need to use query string when loading to pass variables: externalswf.swf?var1=val1&var2=val2
BUT there is a problem. External swf can be very big and I'd like it to be cached by flash engine. It seems it's impossible in case of url parameters ?var1=&var2=& because those vars often change.Is there other ways to pass vars into inner swf. (I cannot change inner swf and I know only one thing - it use vars passed via flashvars mechanism
My external container isn't able to set FlashVars since I upgraded to Flash version 10.1.53.64. What's the matter ? A simple for loop didn't list anything in the loaderInfo.parameters object (for (var val:String in loaderInfo.parameters)).
It didn't happen with any older Flash version.
Environment:
Windows XP SP3
Container: Excel 2003, set FlashVars through VBA code
Flash ActiveX version 10.1.53.64
I have a video player swf which loads in a flv file via flashvars. This works perfectly, but when it reaches the end it loops ie Goes back to start and plays again. This only happens when it is embedded in a page because when I press cntl+Enter to preview as swf alone it works.

I am trying to create a basic flash player that auto loads a file that is read from a databaseI know that using flashvars is the key, and i think javascript to load, however i am not sure how to startso what is the procedure?what actionscript do i need?what javascript would i need?do i just install the flash vars into the embed?
View 2 RepliesI've got a SWF that collects feedback from users on a website. The questions asked are pulled in as XML, using a URL supplied via flashvars embedded in the page. Unfortunately, this appears to have broken in the latest version of my SWF.[code]Using External Interface.call() to call console.log in the browser outputs null, yet in a previous version (where this code has remained unchanged) it works and outputs the URL as I would expect. I can switch between them see it working on the earlier, then update to the newer one and it outputs null again.
The only change in this newer version of the asset is that I added a symbol and a bit of code to add that to the stage after the XML has been loaded - but that did not in any way change the code getting the URL from the page's HTML.I'm using Flash CS5 and it is an ActionScript 3.0 project.I did read somewhere that this could be done via ExternalInterface would it be more appropriate for a scenario such as this? Is it a viable alternative if for some reason I can't get this to work properly?
I have a quick question... is there a way to simulate a flashvar while testing an application in the Flash IDE? I know I can export it and test it on a web browser with a container passing the flashvar, but it's so much easier to just do CTRL+Enter :P
Specifically, what I'm doing here is the following: My movie has a lot of things hardcoded... I want it to load the hardcoded parts only if there's a flashvar called "debug" and set to "true". As you may have guessed, I DO NOT want that flashvar to be known to my providers, but I do want to set it on the IDE so everytime I test the code, it enters my debug mode (and so I don't have to change even a bit of code to publish it later)This would be my code:

How do I pull in flashvars in flash. I have a html form with variables with 5 fields.
View 2 RepliesI have a movie that loads content from an XML file. The path to the file is passed in using flashvars. I am using SWFObject to embed the Flash in a web page. I have a routine that checks for an XML attribute from flashvars and if available passes it to a variable; if no XML attribute then it uses a default. Because I'm having trouble with flashvars I'm also displaying the path in a text box. The code looks like this:

I want to know which is more effective to use in terms of passing values to flashvars.I have a dynamically created XML on the fly that will be assigned to a flashvar.I am planning to assign a whole xmldoc to the flashvar..it basically includes all the tags as in the whole xmlobject..and then i'll use this var to be able to display it on a carousel like image gallery.. Basically the content is all dynamic.Is it more preferrable to accept the XML PATH or the whole XML DOCUMENT for the flashvars?
View 1 RepliesI am trying to take a PHP variable and pass it along to Flash via Flash vars. My end goal is to pass a string formatted as XML to Flash, but because I'm struggling I've stripped everything down to the basics. I'm just trying to pass a simple PHP string variable to Flash via FlashVars with SWFObject but something isn't right. The page won't load when I try to pass the variable inside of php tags, but it will load if I just pass a hard coded string. The basic structure of my page is that I have some PHP declared at the top like so:[code]How do I pass a PHP variable using SWFObject and FlashVars?
