Flash :: Javascript To Actionscript Keypress Passing Utility?
Mar 25, 2009
Is there an existing javascript library for relaying key press events in the browser (or certain divs) into flash? I am hoping there might be a library kind of like this one for mousewheel events?Something like this handles javascript keyboard shortcuts great. I suppose I could just listen for those events and pass the ones I want into flash?These are great examples, however, if flash has focus, then javascript keystrokes are lost. How can you ensure that all key events go through javascript?

Is it possible to pass file names from a running Flash application, which only purpose is to enable multiple-file-selection, to a JavaScript application which handles upload of all files to the server?I have examined various Flash upload solutions (like SWFUpload, Uploadify, etc.) and none of them meets my needs. I want an easy to implement solution (like Uploadify) which also lets me specify various parts of the HTTP request.
The reason I need this is because my upload form uses session cookies (for user authentication) and an CSRF token both passed to the server when uploading files.Is it technically possible to pass filenames (+ paths) to a JavaScript application which then handles the upload?

Is there a way that I can pass the value of app: or appstorage: to a javascript file which has been included via URLRequest? I have a web application with an HTML5 video player, and I've been asked to get it to work as an AIR app. So far so good, except that there is a bug in jPlayer that requires you to use absolute file paths for media if you're using flash fallback. I need to get the file path of the app: or appstorage: directory on a users machine, and pass that to javascript so that the player can find my videos.

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:

Passing a JavaScript array to Flash?I want to pass an Array from JavaScript to a Flash movie. My goal is to create an Array of URLs to pass to Flash and once the Array is in Flash, I can access those URLs in the movie.I know how to send a variable to Flash using the "Embed" and "Object" tags using "FlashVars".
<PARAM name=FlashVars VALUE="song=song_URL">
but I want to somehow send and array, or maybe can I call a function that creates the Array I want to send?My reason is to have an HTML developer come back and change the Array values and that will change the Flash Array, so they don't have to edit the Flash movie.

A brief overview:
1. I am working on a project in ASP and I am making queries to a SQL db that returns data back in the form of xml. I am not in control of the db or how it returns data.
2. I process the XML within the ASP page and then I also process the data from within flash. I am therefore making two database calls for one page view.
3. I am trying to figure out if I can in anyway, pass an XML list from the page to flash so that I am making only one database call. The site is heavily hit and I am practically doubling the server load. Basically, the only way I think that may be possible is through javascript but not sure where to begin.

We can pass arguments to flash from javascript like this
fc.callFunction("_root","js_playSong",["Path=songs/song1.mp3 &Album=Jazz"])
where fc is a JSFCommunicator.
But how to pass argument like this
fc.callFunction("_root","js_playSong",["Path=songs/song1.mp3&ArtistPath=http://sample.php?artist_id=24&name=kamal"])
In the above argument the red colored ampersand should not be considered as separator between two variables.

I'm able to record sound with a Flash application embedded in my website, this audio is saved to a ByteArray, which I need to pass to Javascript in order to post to my server along with other required data.
I know I can use AS3 ExternalInterface class to communicate with Flash from Javascript, but what would be the appropriate format or variable type in javascript to hold the ByteArray, and how can I ensure that I won't lose much audio data when doing so?

[url]...I've downloaded clippy and have tried compiling on Mac, Linux, and Windows and I keep getting the same result: The swf compiles with no apparent errors but when I try to load the clippy.swf in my webpage it is unresponsive. I've tried custom builds that others have done and it works fine - just building my own results in a dud. (and yes I do have haxe and swifmill installed). The only thing I can think of is perhaps the latest version of swifmill or haxe is causing the issue.

I have a class just full of random STATIC functions and vars that I use often on alot of other classes. things like the classic randRange(min, max) function. . just silly things i dont want cluttering my code My question is does importing this class into other classes increase the memory used by instances of the class. Cause i may import this class of 30 objects and only use 2 of them. I'm thinking it doesn't. But i could be wrong as I haven't found much material on flash memory usage other than garbage collector stuff.

For example, If I have a SWF that loads XML and images, and displays them, is there some kind of 3rd-party tool that will take this SWF and re-render it as if all the text and images were embedded and not external? So I could just use the same SWF without it relying on image and xml data files?

anyone knows how to pass an array values from an HTML into flash? Well, to begin I'll discuss what am I doing. I edited a twitter widget javascript which search tweets based on the hashtag I needed then passing it on an array per tweet and then displaying it using a <div> it updates once every 5 minutes. Now I want to display those tweets on a dynamic text on Flash. Let's say I will have 5 dynamic text placed on my flash file then; I want each of those dynamic text to have the tweets I have based on on my HTML arrays to be displayed in random.

I am working on a break through technology which brings together Audio DSP, Embedded, C/C++ and Javascript/AS3. I am in charge of getting the javascript/as3 done .
I need to send Arrays to and fro Javascript / Actionscript 3.I tried the javascript/as gateway from http://osflash.org/flashjs. It's done in actionscript 2 and I might have to migrate it to as3. I am not sure how long it would take.And I tried the ExternalInterface class in AS3. But it seems only strings can be passed using the addCallBack() and call() methods. Moreover I was not able to reslove the security issues when the flash player tried to communicate with the javascript.

My goal is to pass a variable from JavaScript to ActionScript in my swf file. I am using Flash CS3 and AS3. Currently all I want is my test to work where I mouseover a text link and a function is called with a passed variable in my swf file.
Here is my code:
// test.html - Cropped out the excess code
<html><head>
<script type="text/javascript">
function myMovie(movieName) {
[Code] .....
ExternalInterface.addCallback("sendToActionScript",fromJS); only once, or inside of my function onEnterFrame(event:Event) loop? I tried both, but since I can't get it to work I don't know which one is the proper one.

I have an HTML/JavaScript Adobe AIR app which needs to be listening for data coming in from an external process.I could have the AIR app itself invoked by the external process. If anyone knows how this could be done in such a way that AIR would then continue to listen for messages/events from the process which invoked it, then I would like to hear about it.Failing that, can I set up some kind of endpoint in AIR itself to accept data through?'ve experimented with a Native Process, and while having AIR launch the process allows it to read data in, the native process itself to be externally accessible, plus it must be able to write to STDOUT for Adobe AIR to receive.

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
<script type="text/javascript">
function getQueryVariable(variable) {
var query = window.location.search.substring(1);
var vars = query.split("&");
for (var i=0; i<vars.length; i++) {
[Code] .....
And then passed the flashvars into swfobject.embedSWF. I also don't want to change anything in my mxml files in flash side.

I've made a XML based Mp3 player using Flash 8 and AS2. The player is working just fine, I mean playing song on previous and next button. Now I want to enlarge this and my idea is to list all the mp3s on a PhP page and allow user to listen to any song randomly. This means, user can click any song name and that song will start playing in the player.
My problem over here is; the song listing and the player will be on one single page and clicking on any song wont reload that page to play the selected song but just reload the content of the mp3 player.
I know this can be done in Javascript. My thought on this is:
On clicking each song name, I need to call a JS function and pass to it the "ID" of the song. This JS function needs to pass "that ID" to the swf which will play the song.
Keeping aside the complexity involve in ActionScript to fetch the song name as per the passed ID, I need to know how to pass this ID from JS to AS

Our web application has a feature which uses Flash (AS3) to take photos using the user's web cam, then passes the resulting byte array to PHP where it is reconstructed and saved on the server. However, we need to be able to take this web application offline, and we have chosen Gears to do so. The user takes the app offline, performs his tasks, then when he's reconnected to the server, we "sync" the data back with our central database.
We don't have PHP to interact with Flash anymore, but we still need to allow users to take and save photos. We don't know how to save a JPG that Flash creates in a local database. Our hope was that we could save the byte array, a serialized string, or somehow actually persist the object itself, then pass it back to either PHP or Flash (and then PHP) to recreate the JPG. We have tried:
