How can I get querystring values from a bowser sting into my flash movie
For example the link is [URL]
The html page loads a flash movie, and I would like the flash movie to be able to access the variable name=John
I was wondering how can I make my links in Flash readable for browsers? In other words, to be able to provide link to specific section of my website. For illustration, take a look at Jenson Button's website:The link above points to the "News" section, although the site is in flash.
View 2 RepliesI'm trying to figure out why my Flash button opens the link in a new browser tab, when it should just replace the page with the new one.
I'm using Flash CS4 with AS3 code, the button in Flash receives variables from an XML file and then knows what URL to pass when the user clicks the button. "Request" is the variable being passed for the URL. The website uses PHP and everything works except opening a new tab.
The main line of code for this is:
navigateToURL(request, '_blank'); [I know this WILL open new tab]
I modified it to try both of these:
navigateToURL(request, '_self');
navigateToURL(request);
I need to know (fairly soon), how to make the .swf file i have linked into a page open in flash player, not an explorer window.

View 2 RepliesI need to grab values from the querystring and inject them into a getURL(""); snippet that's in the on (release) {} for a button.So if the URL that contains the embedded swf is
[URL]
I'd like to get that otherdomain.com and inject it. Something like
var returnUrl = "";
// do magic querystring getting
getURL(returnUrl);
*Edit: I need to snag the querystring because I don't have access to the embed code. It's being rendered by a third party (Articulate) and loaded into a frame. I do have access to the code that renders the frame html, which is why I figured query string would be the best route, and one button that's used in the presentation.
Note, I live in C# land, not ActionScript land so I most likely butchered the syntax. I just need to get this button working as a one off and I'll probably never deal with it again.BTW, I've seen the abdulqabiz QueryString object that's floating around out there but it kind of seems like overkill, like there should be something baked into the framework for this. I also lack the knowledge of how to incorporate this into my little button on (release) {} event
This is driving me nuts... Based on my research I should be able to pass QueryString parameters directly to a swf object like so: [URL] In the mxml oncreationcomplete method I have tried the following:

I have a client that needs a flash intro that will be accessed through a link in an email campaign. When the user clicks the link in their email, it sends them to this flash intro, but also sends a querystring with it. I need the flash file (v5) to read the querystring, use it during the movie, and then pass it on to an asp page when the intro is done playing.What is the best method to do this?
View 9 RepliesI have a flash slideshow on my homepage which displays news by a xml file underand I am using slideshowpro for it.

View 1 RepliesI need to call a REST web service that provides an XML feed of weather conditions. I have 13 cities for which conditions are needed, and only 3 nodes for each city are required (vs. the entire feed). My very basic first attempt is as follows:
[Code]...
First, how do I parse the 3 nodes, and ? Next, is there a way to pass a different querystring argument for each of the 13 cities? Finally, how would I add these values to an FLV that's been imported and placed on stage? The FLV displays a geographical area and pans from east to west plotting cities as it goes. At each city plot, the 3 node values need to be "superimposed" onto the FLV.

View 3 RepliesWhy I am getting an extra blank browser window named "untitled" behind the main one, which pops up fine. I did test it on my remote server and it still had the same problem as from within flash itself?
var emailLink:URLRequest = new URLRequest("mailto:law@optonline.net");
email_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClick);
function onClick(MouseEvent):void {
navigateToURL(emailLink);
}
I am trying to figure out how to make buttons on my flash file link to URLs that appear in a window of fixed dimensions (with scroller bars) next to my Flash window. I am aware that Adobe has instructions for creating pop-up browser windows through Flash [URL]. However, what I'm trying to do is a bit more complicated, since I want to have multiple embedded invisible buttons in the Flash window that each take you to a specific URL when you click on them. Alternatively I'd be happy if any button click resulted in a link to a random selection from a pre-programmed list of URLs. This is for ActionScript 3.

View 17 RepliesI'm in a big distress, I'm using AS2 with CS3 (Flash 9.0 on OSX Snow Leopard) and I can't get the querystring. I don't understand it has always worked before with my previous version of Flash. I'm using this AS code: t_txt.text += _root.age; I have a dynamic text linked to t_txt. For the HTML I simply published using Flash, then I changed in the html file like this:
<param name="movie" value="age.swf?age=56" />
And
<embed src="age.swf?age=56" quality="high" etc >
When I set to use AS1 it just works fine. But I can't use AS1 all my projects are with AS2. So what's wrong?
The FLV I need to load is at a remote URL, but the server requires a ticket appended to the end in order to send the file over my way.so http[url]...........But if I try and send that into the source I get "No root node found; if url is for an flv it must have .flv extension and take no parameters"
View 5 RepliesCurrently in Flash I am trying to pull in a value based on the querystring. Example..

This works in the main flash actionscript, but I need the querystring in a class constructor that I created. How can I pass the querystring to a separated out actionscript file?
I'm unclear on the proper format for passing a QueryString Value using FlashVars, this is what I'm trying <param name="FlashVars" value="part=<%= Request.QueryString["part"] %>" /> but this causes a parse/encode error and the swf doesnt load, same if I use single quotes ie <param name="FlashVars" value="part=<%= Request.QueryString['part'] %>" />
I've been working with this tutorial:[URL] Using AS1, I've been able to extract a variable from a SWF, e.g. the SWF has a querystring associated with it, in the HTML of the web page on which it is embedded:
Code:
<param name="movie" value="loaderInfoExample.swf?userName=TestUser" />
<embed src="loaderInfoExample.swf?userName=TestUser" ....
It's easy to get the variable into AS1 - it's just there, without doing anything. I've tried to do the same in AS2, but I can't get it to work, using Permadi's page. All I want to do is to get the value of the 'userName' var from the SWF Querystring, into a variable in the SWF. The example on the Permadi page didn't work - I may have been doing something very wrong of course.
I have this old project where I have to pass a querystring from one flash to another...
mc.onPress = function() {
whatURL = "index.html?id="+this.id+"&num="+this.num
getURL(whatURL, "_blank", "GET");
}
But when pressed, i get a querystring longer than my arm : [URL] and a whole lot of other variables and functions... i end up getting a Request-URI too large.How come I pass all these different variables to the query string when I just ask for 2?
I am having a flash application where I want to send parameters to it via the javascript from a defaul.aspx page. I have a parameter called Id where it can accept alphanumeric values. The query string in the url works fine if I enter just numbers for the Id, and takes me to the specific page related to that id , but if I enter a combination of numbers and characters like 001A , it does not work.
This is the code I used

function getQueryVariable(variable) {
var query = window.location.search.substring(1);
var vars = query.split("&");
for (var i=0; i<vars.length; i++) {

And then passed the flashvars into swfobject.embedSWF. I also don't want to change anything in my mxml files in flash side.
