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 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?

I am trying to find a very good step by step tutorial on using "Flashvars" to load external mp3 files, I have been searching on google and the many I have found fall short in some way or another. From what I have been able to gather, I have tried using the code in red (commented out), which works, and modify it to use "Flashvars". The code that works, the mp3 file is hard coded, but my goal is to use "Flashvars" which I am attempting to do in the code following the code in red. I am also including the html code.

I'm using the following code to embed the swf and load a file via flashvars. It works fine in firefox...but does not work in IE. I'm convinced that the issue is in my html syntax. Can anyone spot the problem?
<script type="text/javascript">
swfobject.embedSWF("myflash.swf", "banner", "300", "300", "9.0.0", false, {}, {wmode: "transparent"},{flashvars: "xmlfile=http://www.mydomain.com/directory/file.xml"});

I'm trying to load some data using flashvars but nothing is working.
View 6 RepliesI have never used flashVars, even in AS2, but the project I'm working on requires that I use since my client is going to use dynamic urls defined as expressions and he wants to have control without having to edit a fla file. I have read a lot of tutorials and can't seem to come up with a solution. Basically what I want is to load my Flashvars defined in swfObject, each one holding an expression, for example:

How will I accomplish the same thing in as3? I know you have to get flashVars using .loaderInfo but that as far as i got.
I have a fla file that i am using on my page, i want the twitter object to be embedded inside my fla but there is no direct link to the file. The twitter site will give me a code to paste, but the code has a general link and some flashvars info. How would i be able to embed into my fla if there is no direct link? If i use divs to place the object on top of my flash it blinks and sometimes will not show at all.

How do I load this valueStr to my myText.text ?
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'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 need to retrieve a value in as3 from a html page on a particular event say "mouse-click".We cannot use flashVars as it is obvious that i need the value on a particular event
View 2 RepliesI 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?

View 2 RepliesI 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 thought it was a problem with my Try / Catch statement, but in reality my issue is really just trying to do a check in an If / Else statement to see if my Flash player can obtain any data from a flashVar. If flashVar VID = great, Else read from an XML file.Basically this is what I need to have happen:
Check to see if there are flashVar values
If so then load the other Class files and DO NOT get the XML file
If not then run the code in the Catch statement and load the XML file

I have a flash player embedded on page page.php?user=john using swfobject. The player calls the xml file content.php to get the results. I'm trying to get the user name from the url id. and fetch results based on that. I can get the username on page.php by doing $_GET['user'], but how can i pass that to content.php. Having read allot of articles online, i did the following,I'm embedding the flash on page.php using swfobject like this
<script type="text/javascript">
var flashvars = {user:"<?php $_GET[user] ?>"};
var so = new SWFObject("<?php echo $index->CFG['site']['url'];?>preview2.swf", "sotester",

I'd like to be able to generate certain data XML file through PHP based on variable that embedded in html page swf sends or request. I heard that it can be achieved by assigning FlashVars. I created a flash gallery which loads all content based on data from XML. However, I need to load a different content using the same flash gallery based in which html page the swf(gallery) is embedded. I can generate new XML through PHP if swf will send a variable to PHP which can be read as unique. I need to create a mechanism where the embedded swf send this unique variable.
