Flash :: Passing Variables From A Dynamically Created Textinput?
Feb 16, 2011
I have a contact form in my flash file with name/email/message fields which a user can fill out and then click send, which passes these to a php script which then emails the information that they entered. This works fine when the text inputs are manually placed on the stage and all the information is passed to the php script and emailed to me. I am just updating it so the textinputs are created via AS2 so that I can style them more easily etc. This is fine however when created via script they no longer get passed to my php file. I am creating the textinput using the following code (which works fine):
[Code]...
This works fine however does not pick up the value of the dynamically created text input (however does pick up all the text inputs that are manually added to the stage). I am rather confused as to why it's not picking this up and am not sure how I set it to do so, i would be immensely grateful if someone could point me in the right direction?

Is it possible to retrieve the value from an TextInput box that is created at runtime?
I've assigned the TextInput box (or many MANY boxes, in this case) with unique names using something like, input.name = "input"+i inside a for loop. But then, later if I try to retrieve the value of input2.text, for example, I get the old 1120: Access of undefined property input2.
Oddly, if I assign an eventlistener to the input box in the same for loop, and trace e.target.name, I get the name input2. But if I try to call the value directly via input2.text, I get the error.
So is there some way to get that TextInput value without giving it a name within Flash? Or perhaps a better way to assign a name to it in the first place?

I have a number of 'TweenField' instances created in a for loop. The problem is that each time the loop increments, the 'myTweenField' variable has the same name, so I don't know how they can be referenced individually from elsewhere in the script. How can I rewrite it so that each instance has a unique name, and how would I then reference it from outside the loop?
Code:

I'm having a problem while assigning variables into dynamically-created MovieClips. Here's a pseudo-code of what I'm trying to achieve.
[Code]....
I need the movie clips to contain their index values as a variable within them. I've tried several approaches, including declaring the variable names within the MC itself, but that doesn't work either.

I'm dynamically creating movieclips with dynamically created movieclips inside them and am having trouble with targeting them.Below is a simplified example of what I'm trying to achieve, in the real file there are a lot more movieclips and I'm creating and naming them with a for loop.
This one is just one Sprite created inside another sprite. I can target the top level sprite named "testname". However when i try target the nested MC it throws an error.The bottom couple of traces are just test MCs I've made to make sure i got the syntax right, on targeting nested movieclips.
PHP Code:
var holder:Sprite = new test1();holder.name = "testname";this.addChild(holder);var holder2:Sprite = new test2();holder2.name = "testname2";holder.addChild(holder2);trace(getChildByName("testname").x); //this one traces finetrace(getChildByName("testname").getChildByName("testname2").x);//this throws up an errortrace(testclip1.x);trace(testclip1.testclip2.x);

now a customer wants me to make a Flash intro in her (ASP MVC) site. The scenario is this: images are stored in the dbms. Every image belongs to a category. Depending on what category is selected, the corresponding images should be fetched and played in a flash player with "transition" effects (hope i used the correct words).How can a slideshow (swf) be created dynamically?

Creating a flash project where users can visit the site, and turn off/on objects in a house (ie. lights, tv, computer, etc.) The next user who will visit the house in the website, will see what lights or house appliances were left on. Flash variables are passed to PHP, and those variables are saved in an XML file. (For testing to see what is being saved to the XML file, on each click --vars.xml opens.) In the vars.xml file, I see that the house objects that were last turned on--are saved in the XML file- But in the SWF file, only one of the objects that are listed in the XML are turned ON. Only the last object that was clicked on would show ON--not all the objects in the XML file.)
package {
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.text.*;
import flash.net.*;

So, I read the tutorial about passing variables by changing the url of the .swf with the following code:
Code:
if (movie==1 or movie=="") {
trace("default");
}
[Code]....
My question is, is there anything special if I want it to respond to the url of a .php page? So, if I have a page that ends in "?page_id=2" could I do the same thing or does it have to be an .swf?
Code:
if (page_id==1 or page_id=="") {
trace("default");
}

For AS 3
I have a class which crate a panel with close button. and i create an instance of this class like this
function _smallThumbClick(evt:MouseEvent):void {
var _popup:Popup=new Popup( square.width ,evt.currentTarget.y, evt.currentTarget);
addChild(_popup);
}
and this mouse event from the thumbnail(suppose), so if i click on the thumb it will create popup. so i want to close all other or previously opened pop window.
How do u get the popup class object to close from another class..

Essentially, I've got a MC container that's created dynamically based off an XML file (basically for every <title></title> I've got, it makes a new "card"). Now within the context of each <title></title> grouping I've got <imgs></imgs> in which I specify the path to images that are related.All of that works perfectly, save for the external jpg files actually appearing on the stage. The MC I add them to does, but the external image doesn't.My problem is- I can't add the external images until they're completely loaded (or so it appears). The thumbnail BG I use is blank. So I know for a fact that the thumbnail BG isn't occluding the loaded thumbnails.

how do I know if my flash form has sent its variables to asp? My code is:
onClipEvent (load) {
submit_btn.onRelease = function() {
emailform = new LoadVars();
emailform.var1 = var1.text;
emailform.var2 = var2.text;
emailform.sendAndLoad("form.asp",emailform,"GET");
}; }
I need to send the information as a query string to asp. Am I doing this correctly?

I have a simple standalone application written in Visual Basic that I'm porting to a browser based application using PHP/javascript. The original VB application has some simple embedded flash games with token and point counters. The token and point values are being passed as variables between the application and the game.
I'm trying to achieve the same effect in my PHP port without modifying the actionscript code( using the variables in actionscript that already exist). Below is Visual Basic code that's loading a value from a database and posting that value to flash using FlashVars:

I have an image uploader that runs on a separate PHP script, and then updates the Preview Url after the file has been uploaded. But what I'd like to do is have a Flash SWF embedded in the same HTML that's running the PHP Uploader to get that Preview URL and display it in the Flash Application.

I have a php file that loads 2 variables to a new php page that has flash embedded. This works fine, I can see the variables in a dynamic text box I created, the problem is that I need to take the 2 variables and put them together, then load it in a gotoAndPlay.It then should play at that time-line but it just plays from the beginning frame.[code]

We have a web page which loads a Flash flipbook. This flipbook grabs the content of an external XML file which lists the images to be used for each page. I need to be able to send a word or number into the flash file which is then picked up and used as the name of the XML file. This will allow us to use the same flipbook to display different content depending on different the variable we pass in, without having to have multiple versions of the flash.So, having tried all the different places to add the querystring which I understand you use to pass the variable, I currently have this in the web page (note, "zone" is my variable and I'm trying to set it as 1 here).[code]
In case it helps to see the actual files I've tried to strip them down as much as possible, and put them at URL...Ignore what's going on in the linked flash files.You can see a working one where the XML file name is hard-coded at URL... and a failing one with an attempted passing of the XML filename at URL...The actionscript I'm editing to try get this to work appears under actions: Frame 1 inside 'Premium Page Flip'. Around line 153 in the original is a line saying this.extXML.load("1.xml"). I'm just trying to bring the "1" part in through the querystring.[code]

I am currently trying to pass a single number variable (a score) back to ASP.NET.

How do you pass variables from flash to php?What I wanna do is, get the username and password entered in this form made in flash, when the submit button is hit, it will open and send these variables to login_processor.php. If the info is put in correctly, it will take them to a different page.The login_processor.pgp works for html form, but not for flash. In flash I have two input texts, and I gave them each their own var names.This code I assigned to my submit and reset button:
submit_btn.onRelease=function () {
getURL("login_processor", "_self", "POST");
}
reset_btn.onRelease=function () {
[code]...
this script is not working, even though you put in the right info, it will take you to login_processor.php and that's it, you're not even logged in.

I'm trying to send variables to flash from php and I can but the problem is that instead of showing the value of the variable, its name is shown instead.
This is the php code that sends to flash:
echo "&response=".$response;
echo "&username=".$username;
and this is the actionscrip which should receive it:
status1.text = data.response+" "+data.username;
(the loadvars variable i used to send and received the vars is called data).

Is there a way to view the AS 3 code that Flash CS3 is creating? To be a little bit clearer about what I'm asking let me make the parallel with Dreamweaver. If you need to create an HTML table in Dreamweaver you can click the table icon at the top, configure your table, and then you can see in the code window the <table width= height=..> <tr> etc. that has been created dynamically by the software.I know its not a straight forward feature built into Flash or I would have found it but I was wondering if there is some surreptitious way of extracting the code.

There are multiple MovieClips that will be dynamically placed on stage. These MovieClips are coded to be buttons. I'm trying to figure out--when a user clicks on the MovieClip...figure out which object on the flash stage the user clicked on.Inside function toggleClick I put the trace statement: trace("movieClip Instance Name = " + e.target.name);
In the OUTPUT window:
movieClip Instance Name = instance5
movieClip Instance Name = instance12

I'm trying to create a movieclip and load a "frame" image inside of it, then create another movieclip inside of the first, and then load another picture inside of the second. Something like this:
var thumbFrame;
var thumbPicture;
thumbFrame = container_mc.createEmptyMovieClip(thumbFrameName, 1);[code]..........
But it doesn't seem to work the way I want: the "thumbPicture" doesn't appear on top of the "thumbFrame" as I expected... only the "thumbFrame" shows (with it's image succesfully loaded). Am I missing something?
EDIT: If I comment this: //thumbFrame.loadMovie("thumbFrame.png");
The thumbPicture.jpg shows inside of the first movieclip, so maybe the issue is with the .loadMovie?

I have a setup where I am loading 3 XML nodes from a database. It lists 2 of the 3 onscreen - an item and an item price. I am trying to have it work so that when an item is clicked that the item_id (loaded in the xml, but not displayed on screen) jumps to a frame with a dynamic text box and have it list ONLY the item clicked. So far, I made it jump to the frame with the text box and it lists the entire list, not just the item.I really want it so that you click an item then it stores the item_id in the background (then a mc plays saying "item added to cart"). I want the ability to store more than one item_id from different categories and when a user presses the 'view cart' button, that the text box loads those items.
I think I am close, but I got to thinking if it would be better to have some way of doing a php session or something similar to store the item_id and then when the 'view_cart' button is pressed, the text box lists the item_id and the item_name and item_price for each item in the session. I wasn't sure if Flash can talk to php like that. Can it?Is this the right way to approach what I am trying to do? I'd like to use one 'holder text box' if possible.
