I'm currently doing a project that has to be multi-lingual. I need to be able to use Flash Var's to locate the XML file.why the below code does not work?ere is my AS3 code:
var xmlPath:String;
xmlPath = root.loaderInfo.parameters(encodeURIComponent["xmlPath"]);
Here is my HTML code:

I've read a variety of pages that describe how to pass a variable into a flash movie (AS3, player = v9) from the html in which it is embedded. This page describes AS3 but neglects to mention what to do with the object and embed tags in the noscript section. Furthermore, I'm not sure the javascript I see generated in my page looks like the example there (the js in my page doesn't check AC_FL_RunContenta against zero)This page is quite long and appears to deal mostly with AS1 and AS2 approaches which I have used before and neglects entirely the newish javascript approach which appears to be used to embed flash these days (i.e., the javascript function AC_FL_RunContent).I was wondering if someone could spell out the proper way to pass in a variable from HTML so that flash can see it in such a way that works even if javascript is disabled, in all browsers, etc., etc.

I've tried to attach the HTML generated by the Flash IDE to this topic but both HTML and zip format were rejected for some reason.
So, does anyone know of a cross plaform/browser compatible way of passing variables to flash from html or javascript?
View 2 RepliesI have a very classic website with Flash built menu and HTML content. Now what I need is the menu buttons( which are Movie Clips actually) to maintain in their pressed position when a particular button from menu is pressed (which actually I did inside flash, but everytime new hyperlink is followed, the website is refreshed and new SWF loaded without button being pressed obviously).
I know this can be done either by Frames which I do not want or passing an argument in URL string from HTML when we call for an SWF object.
Sounds great, but I how do I pass different arguments to several menu pages, when i have only one SWF object and therefore only one hard-coded place of data or value where i can pass the argument in string ?
Do I need to divide my flash object to as many swf's as i need buttons and links ?
Have a thumbnail image acting as a button - sitting on my HTML page.When the user clicks it, the button uses the POST method to send a specified variable.I think I can handle the variable from there using javascript - which will talk to my embedded swf.

I need to pass multiple flash vars into my swf -- I see multiple places in the adobe-generated HTML in which to put the flash vars. While I can do this successfuly for one flash var, I can't for more than one (I'm using something like this at the moment, which works, but cannot be extended URL

I have 2 HTML files with embedded flash movies. One HTML file is the main area (main.html) with a flash movie called gallery.swf which has a grid of thumbnail pictures, and the second HTML file (popup.html) is a pop up chromeless window for enlarged images depending on the thumb's the user clicks. Essentially I need to pass variables to popup.html and ulimately its embedded movie enlarged.swf. These variables will basically be id's of the clicked thumbnails which I will use to locate the correct enlarged images on the server to load into into a container clip within enlarge.swf.

I built a flash file that pulls in an external file. During testing this worked because the html file with the flash and the external file to be pulled in were all in the same directory.Now I have the html file that loads the flash else where.In my flash file I have something like this.Code:xmlData.load("file.xml");What I need to do is to programatically get the directory location of the html page that is loading the flash so I can append it to the above code like so...
Code:
dirloc = get_dir_location_of_html_file_loading_flash;
xmlData.load(dirloc + "file.xml");

I have a list of items in a database as well as images in a directory folder. I am looking for a flash app that can pull from the database to display the info and also the images and scroll this info vertically with associated links. I need to change this for each client by adding their unique "ID" in the code so their information pulls in correctly.

I have a quick question that I am not 100% sure on. In my program I need flash to recognise if the object it is pulling in from XML is an: image/sound/mvie or animation. In XML the tag looks like this:
Code:
<mult_file type= "image" alt="alt text">intro.jpg</mult_file>.what I need flash to do is read the file type of it - I know how to put nodes in but how would I get it to find the type?
I am pulling a blog into flash through an XML sheet. I have a clip in the library that gets attached per blog entry. The issue I am having right now is not all the posts are the same length so I am trying to adjust the clips background to the height of the post text box, but they are all reading as the same height so they aren't properly adjusting. I even have the text boxes set to autoSize = true;

View 2 RepliesHere's my problem. I currently have a Flash banner on my website that displays artwork I have made. However, it currently just shows jpegs that are embedded into the Flash file. Is there a way that I can set up a directory in my domain and just have the flash file pull these external images, at random to display? Also, it should be noted that it shouldn't pull the same image twice. That would look silly I would make the files all the correct resolution and size, so resizing is not an issue. I know you can do this sort of thing with javascript, but I want more control and a more stylish appearance.
