Transfer Data From One Swf To Another
Need help... Currenly I have a picture from main.swf. Once I've clicked this, it launches another IE window with a swf file in it. I have a lot of pictures in main.swf. I want to be able to have one pop-up window wic recognise wic pictures I've clicked and setting the drop down menu according to the name of the picture i clicked on. Currently I have been searching but yet to find. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.
This is the codes I did to launch the pop up window
Movieclip.prototype.openWinCentre = function (url, winName, w, h, toolbar, location, directories, status, menubar, scrollbars, resizable) {
getURL ("javascript:var myWin; if(!myWin || myWin.closed){myWin = window.open('" + url + "','" + winName + "','" + "width=" + w + ",height=" + h + ",toolbar=" + toolbar + ",location=" + location + ",directories=" + directories + ",status=" + status + ",menubar=" + menubar + ",scrollbars=" + scrollbars + ",resizable=" + resizable + ",top='+((screen.height/2)-(" + h/2 + "))+',left='+((screen.width/2)-(" + w/2 + "))+'" + "')}else{myWin.focus();};void(0);");
}
on(release)
{
//customize the window that gets opened
// 0 equals NO.
// 1 equals YES.
address = "prototype_01_animate.swf";
target_winName = "etienne";
width = 400;
height = 300;
toolbar = 0;
location = 0;
directories = 0;
status = 0;
menubar = 0;
scrollbars = 1;
resizable = 0;
//sends data back to the function
openWinCentre(address, target_winName, width, height, toolbar, location, directories, status, menubar, scrollbars, resizable);

7gb Data Transfer Enough/?
I know the topic of hosting is a taboo subject here... but i just want to know is 7Gb data transfer a month enough for a flash site? Im making a portfolio site and dont really know much about hosting as i always had to deal with clients who already have a host.. so this is new to me especially with flash.
So what do you guys recons? is that going to be enough?
Actionscript Data Transfer
I need script that will allow me to bulk transfer text data from a text file into a flash-based manual I am working on. This is high priority so if someone can tell me where I can find a tutorial or is willing to share they're own script that will be great. If at all possible please email a respose to richp@interservers.com instead of posting a reply.
Thanks.
Bandwidth/Data Transfer
I made a message board that I was told its going to be recieve millions of visits and hundreds of thousands of posts. Its set up almost exactly the same way as FlashKit's forums even with IMG tag avatars and login.
What I need to know is how much server space and Bandwidth/Data Transfer I will need to buy hosting for this site. Its set up with a mySQL database for info storage and the total size of the site is 23.79 KB.
I'm hoping I can get away with buying this package below but I'm not sure if its enough.
Disk Space:
100 MB
Bandwidth / Data Transfer
8000 MB
Thanks!
Data Transfer Delay
Hi,
I am making a multiuser game,
if for ex player1 move his object, all the players connected can see the player1's object moving on their screen, this is working fine. The problem is it is not moving smoothly.getting data from sharedobject is not fast, because of it my movieclip is not moving smoothly on all screens when i am moving in my screen.
this is similar to shared_ball sample in Flash communication server. this is also working fine locally.but when i am testing this sample remotely(that is FCS in different server and swf in diffent machine,) data transfer is slow, ball is not moving smothly on all the instances.
please someone help me

Data Transfer And Back
I'm working on a Flash in which I need to have a variables information transfered to another flash file. Once the user completes the task required of them the second flash file will send a variable's information to it. One will be Boolean variable and the other a numeric variable.
Basically it'll work somewhat like this. Flash 1 will be accessed by the users and when they have the opportunity they can go into Flash 2. Flash 1 will be dealing with two variables. The first variable is true or false for whether or not the player has completed the task. If true then the player can no longer access Flash 2. If false then the player can go to Flash 2. The Second variable will be for sending a number to Flash 2.
Now that Flash 1 has found that you CAN access Flash 2 it sends off the numeric variable to adjust Flash 2 accordingly. Once you complete the task in Flash 2 it will send a "true" back to the original variable in Flash 1 and also add to a numeric variable already taking place in Flash 1.
The real question is, how do I communicate between flash movies (referencing variables that take place in the parent Flash (1), sending information to variables in the other flash, etc.). I'm using an emptymovieclip to load the second flash (flash 2) into the main flash (flash 1). Any direction and advice is appreciated.
What Is The Best Way To Transfer Data In And Out Of Databases?
I just upgraded to MX 2004 and it seems there are a lot of options as far as connecting to databases and retreiving data. I was plaaning a huge project in MX that would require retrieing data from many tables, putting them in Flash, having the user manipulate the data several times and sporatically sending some data back to the database. It seems I have a luxury of options for doing this in MX 2004 and I just kinda wanted to open up the thread to discuss performance issues as well as ease of use between the different options for record set retrieval like PHP/ASP, Cold Fusion, and XML, a combination of any of those things, as well as any I don't know about. I heard about something called "Flash Remoting" and I'm not sure what that's all about. Is there a new standard for this sort of thing with the new MX 2004?
I am basically going to be retreiving a lot of user data, data about their city, as well as program data loading it into flash and updating those records possibly a number of times all inside of the flash interface.
Data Transfer Monitor (FMS)
Hi,
Im not having much luck in the FMS forum so I thought I would try here.
Im building a video chat application and I need to monitor the video data that has been transfered/streamed through the server. This needs to be a client side funtion too.
Has anyone found a solution to this or can anyone point me int the right direction.
This one is pretty urgent so any help would be very much appreciated.

Transfer Data From Flash AS 3 To PHP
I have coded a program to accept several text fields in Flash and then transfer them (using a defined Class function, sendExample with sendPhp) and display them with a pfp form. When I run the swf from my pc it transfers the data correctly (the php file is on my hosted server.) However when I transfer the swf to the server (along with the class I defined to do the transfer), the php file is called but no data is transfered. What is missing from the server to make the data transfer complete? No errors, just a php page with no data inserted.

Data Transfer To And From Server
I am making an RPG game, and I have got my basic isometric engine ready. I have made it to call a PHP script each time you move one square, the trouble is that it takes time to call the script over and over, so there is a high latency.
Is there a better way I have send and retrieve mysql data from the server, like using sockets or something? And if so can someone please direct me to some tutorial or something to help me, thanks.

Transfer Data From Function In One Frame To Another
Hi Guys,
I have four frames in this game that I am writing.
first frame: "player1" contains 5 input text boxes and a "done" button instance. The instance name of all these boxes are different.
what I want to be able to do is the following:
when player1 enters some letters in those five boxes, and presses the "done" button, i want to take the data from those boxes and place them in a function initGame(), that is in the next frame "player2".
"done" is the movie clip that contains the done button. this movie clip onPress needs to carry out the job i've explained above. here is my code for the "done" movie clip: (Its not working. Please help me out.)
Code:
_root.done.pl_1_done.onPress = function() {
x1 = _root.player_1_squares.pl1.pl_txt.text;
x2 = _root.player_1_squares.pl2.pl_txt.text;
x3 = _root.player_1_squares.pl3.pl_txt.text;
x4 = _root.player_1_squares.pl4.pl_txt.text;
x5 = _root.player_1_squares.pl5.pl_txt.text;
//gotoAndPlay("player2");
_root.initGame(x1,x2,x3,x4,x5);

Component Data Transfer Within Flash
as read in an earlier post, flash 4 was user friendly, flash 8 is quite impossible, until you get used to it...
anyway, i need to transfer component data from say page 1 to 5 and store on to page 6 before sending.
i have no probs with Input text, using same name var. with dynamic text.
i know it is simple but i have been trying for days now.
Data Transfer & Network Protocol
Hello all,
I'm trying to create a service for data transfer. I know XML connector, etc. allow a Flash client to send and receive data over HTTP. My questions are :
1. Is the data transfer/communication done over HTTP only?
2. If not, what about other network protocols, eg, bluetooth, Jabber, etc.?
3. If not, does it mean there is a HTTP library in Flash so that I can detach from?
4. Can one XML connection handle multiple requests & responses or handle one response only?
Many Thanks in advance.
Best Regards

Flash PHP Form Data Transfer Delay?

Stop Data Transfer? - Problems With Images Loading
my name is shamhead and i have a problem.
Ive got a flash movie with a gallery which loads in a series of thumbnail jpg's into movieclips, the buttons to select the images are activated depending on whether the thumbnails load or not ("on Data" command on the MC's)
when the images start to load its fine, and you can go between each of the 5 gallery sections (different mc's on seperate frames) and all the thumbnails load in no problem.
but when i go from one section to another as the images are trying to load in, it takes absolutely AGES to load the next batch of thumbnails. I think this happens because the movie is still trying to load in the requested images from the last section and the viewer has to wait for that to finish first.
soooo, is there a command to stop data transfer before the viewer enters another section? - or is another solution anyone can suggest?
cheers

Live Data Transfer = Huge Bandwidth Consumption
I've created a simple Flash app that would allow people to move boxes around and see other people move theirs. I've been using XML to do the data exchange but it slows down tremendously when more than 2 or 3 people are using it. Is there a more efficient way to transfer data from Flash to a server and vice versa?
Here is also another question, is it possible for Flash to act as a client and server? This way a Flash client would directly connect to another and exchange data without a middle-man server.

Extremely Long Data Transfer Time For Webservice To Return A Query To FMX2004?
Has anyone else had this problem?
I have a page with about 50 fields that need to get populated with data. I have a webservice that returns a recordset of about 200 records, with 50 fields each. However, for Flash to finish taking this data in and display the first record, for some reason it takes about 2 minutes. Does anyone know why this is?
Transfer
I am working on re-designing my site. I am going to be adding games, and someone gave me the idea to make it like a tap dance game (if you haven't been to my site, I am a tap dancer).
I would like to transfer the tap sounds onto the computer.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to do this?
Thanks!

Transfer Of Power
hi - i'm pretty new to flash and have been working through the tutorials in joshua davis' book 'flash to the core' recently. i have adapted chapter 21 "transfer of power" for a project of my own, which functions perfectly exported as flash 6 (im using flash mx), but have been totally unsuccessful getting it to work in flash 5. when exported it as a flash 5 movie, it looses all functionality.
i understand this is the same technique used in the motown.com site a couple years ago so im assuming there's gotta be a way to make it work with 5, im probably just missing something completely obvious. any help will be greatly appreciated.
thanks, emil

Transfer Coordinates
Hi, I have been looking to dynamically draw a box around a shape that can be rotated.
This shape is inside another shape call MyStage.
I have tried using localToGlobal (not get bounds), and failing. I think I am failing because I am trying to do all of this with a function that lives on neither Clip.
At the moment I am putting the _x, _x+_width, _y, _y+_height to get the bounds and then convert those coordinates to the clip below.
I am not using getBounds because that results in a big box when its rotated.
I'm not having too much success...
Any suggestions?

Transfer Coordinates
I am not sure if anyone can answer this but here goes. What my project is is to create a postcard editor. This I have done. The user can add text to the post card in predefined text fields. What I need to do is take the X Y coordinates of those text fields in flash and place the text at those same places on a 300 dpi PDF version of that same postcard. I am not quite sure just yet how to do this. If anyone has done this already or if someone can give me some insight on how to do this it would be very appreciated. Thanks in advance!
[F8] Transfer Script
Hi Everyone
I'm currently developing a USB key with a standalone mp3 playing app for MAC/PC within Flash 8 .. The question I had is :
My client has asked for a button within the inteface itself that allows user to download all the mp3s to a folder on your computer...
I know you to do this from a web server but have no idea from a standalone app ?
If anyone knows the answer I'd be most grateful ... thanks !!
Also here is a simple image of what I'm trying to achieve....
Socket To Transfer AMF?
Hey,
I don't really know anything about binary sockets, but I was wondering if the AS3 Socket class could be used to transfer native AS data between clients? Obviously, unless the server could read AMF, it wouldn't be able to do anything with the data other than broadcast it back out to connected clients, but that's all I really want.
Possible?
Transfer Array To PHP

myArrayVariable = my ArrayFunction();
so here my ArrayFunction would compiel the array and then hand it off to myArrayVariable.
if anyone is intereted this is the cod ei have so far:
PHP Code:
function loadMap(mapDir:String) { var mapDataArr:Array = new Array(); IFVmapData = new LoadVars(); IFVmapData.load("Maps/"+mapDir); IFVmapData.onLoad = function(success) { if(success) { mapDataArr["base"] = IFVmapData.baseMapData.split("[~]"); for(var IFVa = 0 ; IFVa < mapDataArr["base"].length ; ++IFVa) { mapDataArr["base"][IFVa] = mapDataArr["base"][IFVa].split("[]"); for(var IFVb = 0 ; IFVb < mapDataArr["base"][IFVa].length ; ++IFVb) { mapDataArr["base"][IFVa][IFVb] = mapDataArr["base"][IFVa][IFVb].split(","); //trace(IFVa+":"+IFVb+"[::]"+mapDataArr["base"][IFVa][IFVb][0]) } } return mapDataArr["base"]; } else { trace("could not Load The Map"); } } return mapDataArr;}var mapData:Array = new Array();mapData = loadMap("map001.php");trace(mapData[0]);
(the code is kinda messy cuz ive been messing aroudn with it so much)
all that happens when i trace mapData[0] is it says "undefined"
any help woul dbe appreciated.
Can't Get Variables To Transfer
I've been working very hard on a game (it's an election sim that has some different features than the usual) for a long while, and I can't figure out why certain variables aren't transferring. Anyway, I posted the .fla on megaupload [link: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=786BZZKQ]. The game code is decently documented, so it should make sense, but I will happily answer any questions via email (esoltas a-t gmail d-o-t com). The reason I am not posting my game here or providing details is because this requires a little more in-depth assistance.
No one has answered any of my posts for quite a while, while I see others getting whisked away with more assistance than they can handle. I'd appreciate a little more than passing comments. If the person who helps me wants to have a part in finishing the game or wants credit for the work that he does, that is fine and welcome.

AMF Transfer Progress
Hi,
I'm wondering if its possible to know the progress of an transfer trough AMF.
I would like to send some binary data trough AMF... and becuase this can be quite big, I would like to display a progress bar. Does anyone know if this is possible? I can't seem to find any info on this.
Would be a shame if this isn't possible when using AMF to transfer data.

Transfer Of Power / Loading Mc
Hi,
I recently followed a tutorial in Flash to the Core by Joshua Davis. It can be found at http://flashtothecore.praystation.com/ Section 21.
It set up a dual navigation for a loaded mc and then he set up an array that apparently targeted section_mc into content_mc while duplicating the section_mc 4x, giving itself instance names Section_0, Section_1, etc...
So the nav bar only tagets the same mc even though they have different instance names.
But, here is what I want. Instead of the same mc, I would like several mcs that scroll seamlessly with the navigation. So rather than the same mc with 4 different instance names I would like some different content. Is there a way of targeting the different instances of the section_mc or is there another way to do it? I've been trying for the past 14 hours to do this and I give up! I don't understand arrays - do I even need them to do what I am trying to do? The final effect should look something like www.motown.com.....
Please help!
