Options For Passing Variables From AS2 Swf To AS3 Swf On AS3 Button Press?
Feb 14, 2011
I have 2 swfs, one image loader which I built a while ago and will eventually update to AS3 and a newer swf I built in AS3. I want to be able to 'pull' a variable from the AS2 swf when a button on the AS3 swf is pressed. How might i be able to do this. LocalConnection wont do it I dont think - i cant load the AS2 swf into the AS3 swf and obviously cant do the reverse though this would be the way to do it if it were possible. So when a button in the AS3 swf is pressed I want to call the AS2 swf and return a variable from the AS2 swf (the filename of the current image). Would both swfs sharing ExternalInterface work?

I've got an XML document that holds the info for a Press section I'm doing for a client. The XML holds the path to a thumbnail, the headline text and a link to the original article. I'm having no problem getting the thumbnails to load in and the headline was a breeze too. Put them both in holders so I could position them later. My trouble comes when I try to pass the link attributes to a button that also gets attached to each press clipping. I can trace out the link array that I create to hold my XML data but when I try to pass it to a getURL function inside a button in the same For loop "i" is never passed.
Code:
var yPos:Number = 0;
var xPos:Number = 0;
var spacer:Number = 6;
var imgPathArr:Array = new Array();
var headlineArr:Array = new Array();
var linkArr:Array = new Array();

What's supposed to happen is when you click button "go_0", the object "square" will animate moving down.

i need to make a little multimedia/presentation where depending on the options you take (normal buttons) a Mc plays and in the end you a get list of itmes depending on the choices you took. I cant remember how to do it, its been a few years since i last did something like this, is there any good tut where i can understand how to do it? cant find anything, basically what i want is to be able to save the choices the user takes during the "game" and with each lode a different .txt at the end. Is this possible with Fl8? its going on a USB Stick, and it'll be a .exe that will load a few swf . . .

Im building a program that queries a database for options and displays the options in a number of comboBoxes. The comboBoxes are dynamically built and loaded via code and added to the stage. I would like to build the comboBoxes into a single movie clip (maybe not the correct wording) so I can use options like tweening and such to make it look better. The code is below.
package classFiles
{
import flash.display.MovieClip;

I'm currently working on a few small paint programs designed to emulate certain famous painters. I'm using a pretty basic AS2 painting program and simply manipulating it to my needs, but have run into a few problems that trial and error have not been able to fix.For two of the programs I would like the up and down arrows of the keyboard to change the size of the brush, which is currently set by the variable ranWidth (one of the other programs uses random widths for the brush).For one of the programs, the left and right arrows will increase or decrease the paint opacity.One of the programs will be a pointillism style drawing program, so instead of drawing a line as it does currently, I'm trying to have it draw a series of dots, without having to click down every time.Third, my color selection right now changes randomly each time the user clicks down. This works fine for some of the programs, but others it really is neccesary to choose a color. I've tried creating buttons with on release functions that would change the color variable but havn't got them to work properly.I know its a bit of a list but I think most of the coding is fairly simple, I'm just new to actionscript and trying to learn the ropes. I've used keys to change items before but am not having any luck.Here is my basic script for one of the painting programs. This one simply draws lines in different colors at random sizes.[code]

I am trying to create a scrolling text section for a cd-rom I am creating.I have created buttons for the scroll up and scroll down and so far all I am able to get is a click click click to scroll up and down 1 line at a time.Would prefer to make a loop so when you hold down the button it "scrolls" until you release.Have had no luck in setting variables on press and release.

im trying to create a button, in which when highlighted should bring up options relating to that specific scene. I cannot seem to get it working, because whenever I highlight the options movie clip, it play the animation which hold the buttons, but as soon as my mouse moves over to click the buttons it disappear.I have attached an example .fla file.
P.S. If what i said above is confusing, then basically my problem is that when i select the options movie clip, it brings up another box, with the options. But i cannot move my mouse into the box with the options because it disappears when my mouse enters the box area.

There is a div in my project, and this project is on-line. Inside this div there is a space that is made in flash (actionscript 3), inside this space we have to sign a contract with the mouse. How can I save this signature without an options window to choose where I want to save this signature?
(The button to save the signature is made in flash too).

I want the press button to detect the last button pressed and if the shapes match, make them do something...obviously. I think I'm going at it the wrong way. I need to stick a "triange" id into the button/mc then if compares that and then if there is a match works then... right?

I'm loading in 5 jpegs from an external file using "loadMovie" and i have 5 corresponding buttons (1-5) to load them with.
I want to change the jpeg the button loads in depending whether a separate navigation button has been pressed -
i.e.
navigation buttons:
-motorbike pics
-car pics
-lorry pics
If a user clicked on "car pics" then the loading buttons 1 to 5 would load "car1.jpg", "car2.jpg" and so on...
similarly if the user clicked on "lorry pics", the same loading buttons 1 to 5 would load "lorry1.jpg" and "lorry2.jpg"

i have a set of buttons cranked out from and XML file. how can i emulate, in code, a press on one of those buttons? i'd like to 'press' one of them for an initial state so that the list it controls will load first off instead of waiting for the person to click it manually and THEN show the list it's connected to. thing is, the first loaded list is going to be random, so i need to 'press' what on another day/load would be a button that the user would press themselves.
in other words, i have 3 buttons. on random, i have to 'press', say button 2, to start. users can press 1 or 3 and then 2 again if they like. another time, it's button 1 that gets 'pressed' on load, etc. make sense? i have a sneaking suspicion it might be easy... or stupidly convoluted.

I have a swf with an input text box and a button. When the button is clicked, I need it to open another swf in a new window on a different domain and pass the variables to a dynamic text box in the new window. I looked at local connect but I wasn't sure it would work because the two windows wouldn't necessarily be loaded at the same time and they are on different domains.

I am loading images into a movie clip dynamically from an XML file. Based on what image the user clicks, I would like to be able to open a separate window, displaying a different image. Ideally, I'd pass the variable of which image was selected to the new open window.I've done some research online, and am thinking I'm making this harder than it needs to be.
Actionscript from main movie
Code:
chosenImage.onPress = function() {[code]......
I've also seen where I could possibly pass a variable through ASP.NET, but am experiencing the same errors when trying to pass the variable. I suppose I could embed the popup.swf file in a new .aspx page, that would probably be acceptable.

I'm trying to develop a site map, which draws a tick over the sections of my app that have been completed. I've figured out how to draw the tick and how to pass variables from root to the MovieClip that the function is in.
To make the tick appear only after an mc has been watched, I tried setting a variable equal to 1 ino the last frame of the MovieClip, and telling the function to run if that variable was 1.
I'm not getting compiler errors, but I'm also not getting the tick. And I'm definitely completing the Movie
Here's what I've got so far: In root
Code:
var xcoord = 125;
var ycoord = 300;
var WaterComplete = 0;

Creating a flash project where users can visit the site, and turn off/on objects in a house (ie. lights, tv, computer, etc.) The next user who will visit the house in the website, will see what lights or house appliances were left on. Flash variables are passed to PHP, and those variables are saved in an XML file. (For testing to see what is being saved to the XML file, on each click --vars.xml opens.) In the vars.xml file, I see that the house objects that were last turned on--are saved in the XML file- But in the SWF file, only one of the objects that are listed in the XML are turned ON. Only the last object that was clicked on would show ON--not all the objects in the XML file.)
