View 3 RepliesIs there a way of making a normal loadVars.load load a url depending on a variable you set in the swf?
var reciever = new LoadVars();
loadurl = "test_onload_3.cfm?propertyID="+MY_VARIABLE_GOES_HERE;
reciever.load(loadurl);
so that I can set my variable and then load the variables with the propertyID that I choose in the swf??

View 8 RepliesI have a MC which when user presses a button slides onto the screen. Within this MC is a number of buttons, with names like 'btn1', 'btn2' etc.I have already searched around and found a tutorial which shows me how to load images from an XML file.What I'd like to do is for each button in the MC, find the corresponding XML element and then load those images, then move onto the next button, until they are all done.So I'd imagine the XML would be something like:
Code:
<images>
<btn1>

Preloader hanging / freezing with "hiccups"I'm trying to do the following. I have a menu with 11 buttons and a xml. The user can select multiple buttons and depending on which buttons are selected it will be loaded images of the xml corresponding to the selected buttons.
The menu have to works as follows, for example, if I select the button 1, will be loaded X images, if I select the button 1 and 5, will be loaded X + Y images, if I select the button 1, 5 and 9 it will be loaded X + Y + Z images.

I have a small gallery that loads thumbnails and the links they represent from an xml file. When I test it gallery on my computer everything works fine. However, when I simulate a download or when I upload to an actual site things start going wrong.[URL]I modified what i needed too and reused the rest. Everything works fine except for that the load order of the thumbnails is reversed. I haven't really changed any part of the code that would cause this, or at least I don't think I have.
The real problem, however, is that when i simulate a downloaded version or when upload them to my test site, the position of the thumbnails are swapped. A thumbnail i expected to load in a certain place and order has now taken the place of another one. When clicking a thumbnail it displays the picture of the thumbnail that should actually have been there, so the links still load in the correct order.When i change the simulated bandwidth while testing the movie, the position alter. At one bandwidth they show up in a certain order and when then trying out another bandwidth the order changes.

Is it possbile to make 'bumblebee' a variable?
var mybee:bumblebee = new bumblebee();
I am using php to read a file (specified by a cookie on the users machine) with the function readfile(). The file I am reading is an actionscript 3 flash file that depends on a configuration file appended to the url to function properly. Ex: [URL]. When I use readfile - the headers are set properly and the swf is returned to the browser which then runs it. I have discovered that using this method the config file (CONFIG_URL) has to be appended to the php file's url to be read properly by the swf - as the swf considers the path to the php file it's own. This is fine when these are the only two elements involved - but when loading the php>read(swf) combination into another swf - the 'read' swf returns a url that is null (using this.root.loaderInfo.url) and therefore fails to execute properly as there is no config file (CONFIG_URL). How can I load in a swf file from a php page (using readfile, fopen, whatever) and pass in $get parameters?
View 1 RepliesHow can I set the parameters of a smaller mc, to be placed on top of a larger mc, and not have the active ingredients (such as some random floating objects) roam outside of the smaller mc? The problem I am having at the moment, is my objects will not stay inside the smaller mc, but instead, roam all over the larger mc below it. So I'm thinking I need to set up some solid parameters for the smaller mc. I was up late, late last night on all sorts of actionscript boards, and still haven't found the answer. I am using flash 5, and the small mc is, once again, on TOP of a larger mc.

View 3 RepliesI'm currently trying to use the FLVPlayback component and pass a source FLV that's living on a cloudfront webserver. The problem is that the cloudfront requires authentication in the form of query strings in the source FLV. For example:[code]It adds on "&FLVPlaybackVersion= 2.1" to the end.I saw a different article that said I should add a dummy variable at the end like "&dummy=.flv" because I was told that Flash is basically looking for an .flv extension at the end and you can trick it, but it doesn't work because they add on additional code.
View 9 RepliesIs there a way for flash to detect a user's bandwidth, and depending the size of bandwidth, stop loading, or continue with the load? Now that I'm thinking about it, this would probably be a javascript detection script and if the bandwidth is high, load .swf, if not load a .jpg?
View 3 RepliesI am currently using the code below on a scroll that can go up and down depending on the ymouse. The problem I am having is that when the movie loads through html it will not scroll until you mouse over it. It's like the movie is paused. If I remove the onEnterFrame it scrolls fine without issue but the rest is broken and it basically does nothing but scroll. I do not have it checked to pause at start. It does preview fine within a flash preview.
_root.onEnterFrame = function() {
if (_root._ymouse<50) {
scroll.prevFrame();
scroll.prevFrame();

What I want to know: is it possible to manipulate the flash so that if the [url]...then london remains highlighted on the flash map. I presume I will have to use some AS which is fine as long as it is AS3.

I am fairly new to ActionScript, therefore I do not yet understand the syntax properly and understand ActionScript 3.0 would be easier for myself to learn first, however my movie is quite big as it is and unless I can convert it to ActionScript 2.0 I'll need to learn how to do this.
what i want to do is create a site that knows what the time is in your area via your pc clock hopefully and depending on the time puts a different background image up e.g. night time = night picture daytime = sunny daytime pic

I'm creating a christmas calendar in flash, where naturally the movieclips representing days should be activated based on the day of the month.
I'm successfully passing the variable to flash in PHP ( I know because I used a textfield to see if the variable existed.) Then, in a external .as that is loaded after the variable is accepted I have the following code.
Code:
for(var i:Number =1; i< dagens; i++){
aLuker[i] = eval("nummer"+i);
aLuker[i].onRelease = function():Void {
[Code]....
This code is supposed to enable the clips "nummer1, nummer2, ... nummer24". I know that the aLuker[i] = eval("nummer"+i) assignment of the movieclips is correct, as I use the same method earlier in my script to set the text in a textfield inside the movieclip.
What actually happens is that although the variable exists in Flash (as a _global even) flash ignores it and enables all the movieclips.
I've developed a quick video player that pre-loads, auto-plays and then finishes with a frame at the end that allows the user to play the video again, but a recent discovery is that the video reloads as a user browses through a few fields on the site (represent via string at the end of the URL).
What I'd like is that if you arive at index.aspx it starts the video at the preloader, but if you then move onto index.aspx?ID=1234 it goes straight to the scene with the replay function. The AS I'm using at the moment in the first scene is:
if (_url == "http://www.mydomain.com/index.aspx") {
gotoAndPlay("Preloader", 1)
} else {
gotoAndPlay("Replay", 1)
}
but I'm getting nothing from it.
I am working on an interactive guide with some sort of different maps that are supposed to move together depending on where you are if that makes any sense...well no it doesn't. ok the main clip pans side ways on mouse move using a tutorial from this website. And when this clip slides along x up to a certain point, I need to get two other clips to also slide to a precise point depending on the first one position, one only along x and the other one on both x and y. OF course i also have to set several key position on the mainclip to mave the two clip at a different place each time the main clip reaches a different point.
