Flash :: Checking For FlashVars Value In Embed Code AS3?
Feb 3, 2011
I 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
UPDATED CODE I put a lot of comments to explain what I'm trying to do :(
public function playerLive():void
{
// Attempt to load from HTML EMBED[code]......
I am trying to generate an <object> tag only embed code and cannot get Firefox to pass Flash along the FlashVars values. This seems to work everyplace else that I've tried it but fails in Firefox. Here is a sample of the embed that I'm using:
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?
I had to convert an AS2 clicktag script to AS3. It complies and works locally, but I was told I need to use the FlashVars to embed/place a variable (a URL) in the swf before it even starts.This is something I haven't experimented with (yet)I've seen examples and I kind of understand it, but I was hoping on some clarification
var flashVars=root.loaderInfo.parameters;
I understand the dot synatx (enjoy using it), and the root is probably the begining (where it will place the sting) Im a bit confussied on the loaderinfo and the parameters what are here functions in the command.
var clickTAG = flashVars["clickTAG"];
then using the flashVars Im unsure on the use of square brackets (instead of using curly braces)Best guess:This will take the string passed to it "a url" clickTAG and use the flashvars to embed/place it in the root/begining tagged as "clickTAG"?
ok so i got a embed code which is hosted on another sitei enter the script to my page but now it makes my html validation fail with errors like this one h_id=cfe4b9038d67c69a9016a223b1040583&watermark=0&clickTag=null" width="1000"they all mainly apply to this part of it&watermark=0&clickTag=null"and the validator says i need a /> but when i change it from > to /> dreamweaver says it invaid <param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="wmode" value="transparent"><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always">i dont know this code is there away to change it and still work? i deleted it from the end but then the watermark appears again.
How can I detect if the user has flash within the embed code I distribute?I have my custom videoplayer created in flash, I have a share option and the user gets a embed string to use.Then if the user is viewing the embedded video from an iphone with no flash, I want to be able to replace my player with a youtube video.Is this possible..?
Flash Player Detection Kit ( http:/url......... ). I would like to embed the detection process in just one file. Hence how can I embed a detection code into the flash file, so once its exported to swf, it'll have the detection code already and no additional files are needed?
My page validated error free against HTML5 until I added YouTube's embed code. # Line 140, Column 132: Stray end tag param. ¦O30JM&hl=en_US&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="tru # Error Line 140, Column 183: Stray end tag param. ¦llowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="a # Error Line 140, Column 238: Stray end tag param.
¦scriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/1rW # Error Line 140, Column 430: Stray end tag embed. ¦ways" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object> Is there a way to get object, embed and param tags validate against HTML5 ?
I am trying to embed a facebook video on my website but it gives "Video Unavailable. this video has either has been removed from facebook or is not visible".video is public to everyone, is not deleted and I can watch it on facebook via other browsers that I am not logged in. I tried both below embed codes, neither is worked.
Should be relatively simple to do but I can't see how to do this from the documentation on CheckBoxes...
I need to be able to manually set whether or not a CheckBox is 'checked' (or 'ticked' or whatever you want to call it) in my code, how on earth do I do this? Been hunting around for ages to find out how to do this with no luck whatsoever!
i have to embed my flash file in my html using satay code since my html has to be xhtml compliant. my problem is when i try to embed 2 different movies on the same page, the first movie loads in both containers. does anyone know how to fix this or if there is another xhtml compliant way to embedding flash?
I found this great rotator on Flashkit. [URL]. Love the user interface. Unfortunately it is using FlasVars in the object code to load images. That won't work for me, and I would prefer to load subSWFs. I can't figure out what I need to do to convert it.
<param name="FlashVars" value="imageOne=image1.jpg&imageTwo=image2.jpg&ima geThree=image3.jpg Code: //This is needed in order to take advantage of the tween function import mx.transitions.Tween; //This hides the 3 grow bars from sight TimeBar_mc1g._alpha = 0; TimeBar_mc2g._alpha = 0; [Code] .....
We run surf camera streams on our website, which are played via the latest version (5.4) of JWPlayer on our pages. Recently we switched over to another streaming service, and H.264 streams, as we are planning on streaming out to iOS devices in the very near future, however this introduced a bug on the client side where users to not receive vision (they only see a black screen where the video is normally seen).
We have discovered that disabling the Hardware Acceleration (which was introduced in Flash Player 10.1+) fixes this issue, and given the spectrum of environments where this issues is happening I would wager that this is related to specific graphics cards, their drivers, and how they handle the vision decoding etc.
The documentation we have found relating to disabling Hardware Acceleration only indicate that this can be done via the wmode param, i.e. by setting it to wmode="opaque" or wmode="transparent" however this doesn't seem to work in all cases (for the most part the issue is no longer there) however we are still seeing 30% of our users getting this issue.
We can ask the users to disable hardware acceleration themselves, and we have provided details on how to do this, however to me that is only a temporary fix, and I was curious as to whether or not there was something more permanent we can put in until Adobe fix up this issue?
I'm trying to check through an array to see if any of my movie clips are currently on frame 15, before taking giant leaps I was trying to just get it to work with one var in the array before all of them, for some reason this code is not working, the trace is not coming up.
If someone would like to go a step further and show me how to check through all movie clips. There will be many more than btn1_mc and btn2_mc so I will definitely need to use an array.
Can I import binary in Flash CS5 and export swf, without AS code likes "Embed" ?I know I can use AS code,likes "[Embed]" metadata to embed binary in swf. But , how can I do that in Flash CS5 ?
I must not be searching with the right term because I just can't find this. I did try.I have a simple slideshow SWF that I would like to share by letting people embed it in their own websites by clicking a button on the SWF (or somewhere on my website if need be) that copies the embed code to their clipboard. How do I add the button that copies the embed code to a user's clipboard? I'm using Flash CS4.
I am creating a button. This button will be embeded on several websites but it will have a different link for each website. It wouldn't be realistic to create a different file for every website. Could the link be set in the embed code?
I seem to be unable to reference flash files in my HTML code that reside on a server different than that of the HTML page. When both the "swf" file and webpage are on the same server, everything works accordingly to plan using either the absolute or relative link to the swf file.
Just wondering how to embed fonts using code, and not the library - the examples I have used are giving me errors, so I'm obviously not understanding something.I originally set up a library font, and got it to work fine using the following code, but ideally I'd like to embed using just code.I set up and populate a dynamic text field (JX)g1.textParamFunc(JX);[code]So how would I use the following code to replace the library font?Is there a way to take part of the code, and place it in the g1 package above? Or do I have to create a separate external as for it, and somehow call it into the g1 as?[code]
What would be the proper AS3 code to embed a YouTube video? I understand the process of creating the object, but I'm still stuck on where to find the appropriate code.
Is it possible to make a video player in Flash such that it can play videos in any Embed code. I don't think it is possible but would like to confirm...
i have a flash site, and i want to call another flash file from another site. Its a magazine with the flip efect, the site is [URL], they convert your PDFs to flip flash books, i cannot do myself so i use this site, the problem is i want to put the flip book in a section of my site. [URL] gives you a embed code to put on html, but i dont know how to use it in flash, someone knows a way?
I imagine this would be a fairly simple question to answer. how do I grab the height and width dimensions set for an swf via html embed code? If it's easier to use swfobject I'm happy to do that, it's just that it's for a banner and not all hosts will like to use swfobject.
In my code I use stage.stageWidth a lot, and Firefox is getting upset about it, especially when the swf is being initialised when it is outside the range of the current browser window. When you page down and bring the swf into focus, the dimensions are all upset because stage.stageWidth is returning 0.
I am trying to embed the goto next frame and stop code snippet into a symbol. Its basically a box that a user can click that will allow them to go to the next frame. The instanced symbol will be resized from frame to frame etc. I ve been told that if I embed the code within a movieclip within the symbol it should work, however I am severely frustrated as nothing is happening.
Create a symbol (I ve tried Graphic and MovieClip), name it A. Within that symbol I put in an instance of a Movie clip named B, which is just a square.Back to the top symbol A, in the timeline I add the code snippet go to next frame and stop.I have 5 frames in the main timeline which all have stop actions if that makes any difference?
