Flash :: Getting A Variable From Query String In The URL

Variable From Url Query String
simple ish

i understand the whole moviename.swf?variablename=content format to pull a variable into flash

but i cant seem to apply that formatting to the new method that dreamweaver uses flash

any ideas?

Code:
<script type="text/javascript">
AC_FL_RunContent( 'codebase','http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=7,0,19,0','width','700','height','273','src','script4_pressures','quality','high','pluginspage','http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer','movie','script4_pressures' ); //end AC code
</script><noscript><object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=7,0,19,0" width="700" height="273">
<param name="movie" value="script4_pressures.swf?page=climate">
<param name="quality" value="high">
<embed src="script4_pressures.swf?page=climate" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="700" height="273"></embed>
</object></noscript>
i should be able to take the "page" var and use it, but its not working, could this be something to do with the dreamweaver fix for embeds?

cos my browser is using javascript it's not getting to the <noscript> tag

how can i parse the url using the above format?

any help would be appreciated

thanks

Query String Variable In A Loaded SWF
Hi there, this is what i would like to happen.

- A Variable is set in the query string of the HTML
e.g. flash.swf?number=1

- In flash.swf, a movie is loaded into a container using the if function

Code:
if(number == 1){
loadMovie("my_mc.swf", loadhere);
}

- However, I would like the loaded movie (my_mc.swf) to also read this variable and play an action. For example

Code:
if(number == 1){
loadMovie("my_mc.swf", loadhere);
_root.loadhere.gotoAndStop(2);
}

In theory this should work, but it just doesn't. Anyone got a solution?
I've tried levels to no success as well.

Pass Variable Via Query String
i'll try to explain this the best I can.

I have a flash header that I need included in a shopping cart site that will have nav and the header descriptions for each site page. It has 2 navigations, top and side. Side nav only controls the flash itself to display stuff that won't be in the rest of the site, like an about us section. The top nav controls what page the shopping cart goes to AND the flash header display. For example, when I click on my top nav button 'systems' I need it to go the 'systems page' and change the flash header to display info about the systems. Now when the 'system' button is clicked the page changes to the 'systems' page but since its a header the flash just pops up on the new page reloaded to its original state. So how would I fix this? could flash pass a variable via the query string to determine what frame it should be on when going to a new page?

Passing A Variable To A Query String
I am trying to create a form in Flash that passes variables to a query string. Simple enough, but when my variables have an underscore (eg variable_one) Flash coverts the underscore to “%5F”. I noticed that it seems to convert all non letter or number characters to something else. Unfortunately I don’t have the option to change the names of the variables I am passing.

This is the code:

submit.onRelease = function () {
getURL ("http://www.actionscript.org","", "GET");
};

Has anyone encountered this? Help Please!

Setting A Variable From A Query String...
I'm creating a banner for a client that pulls in images via XML (sub_banner.xml.php) and depending upon which section of the site the user is in, PHP writes a query string sent via flashvars to set which section images to pull in.

The URL for example, after the query string is set for 'conferences' section of the site will be: sub_banner.xml.php?headerImages=conferences

All the PHP is in place, I'm just having trouble setting the query string variable (headerImages) in flash.

I've tried: var headerImages:String = headerImages;

Any idea on how to set a variable passed through flashvars??

My background is HTML/CSS based and still learning AS2 so any help is much appreciated!

Passing Variable From An HTML Query String
HELP?

I am using the javascript

window.document.smoothie.SetVariable("_root.texty" , query);

in an HTML page, to pass the value in 'query' to a dynamic text box, 'texty' on the main timeline of my Flash movie.

The passing of the variable works, and can be seen on any one of these 3 pages:

http://www.runspotrun.com/test/page2.html?chewbacca
http://www.runspotrun.com/test/page2.html?hansolo
http://www.runspotrun.com/test/page2.html?obiwan

If the value of query is 'chewbacca' then what loads on the page is different than if the value is 'hansolo' and so on...

The passing of this variable works, EXCEPT - one needs to RELOAD the page to see it. When the movie/page first loads, the value doesn't appear. If it is reloaded, then the value appears. A following visit to the same page, even passing a different variable will work fine also. It's just that very first visit, the first time the movie is opened on a particular browser.

After many hours of trying to figure this out, I am at a loss. Can anyone help me with this please?

ThankS!

Error 2101: The String Passed To UrlVariables.decode() Must Be Url-encoded Query String
I am trying to make a flash contact form which will submit the firstname, lastname, email and comments to an asp.net page.

I am have having the following error:

Error #2101: The String passed to URLVariables.decode() must be a URL-encoded query string containing name/value pairs

I am using the following action script code as pasted below. This action script is communicating with an asp.net file to send the email out. In the end it responds back with response=passed or failed.

I have already spent around 3 hours figuring it out.. and looking through the internet for resolution but no luck. Any help will be appreciated.

stop();
submit_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, submit);

function submit(e:MouseEvent):void
{
var variables:URLVariables = new URLVariables();
variables.firstname = firstname_txt.text;
variables.lastname = lastname_txt.text;
variables.email = email_txt.text;
variables.comments2 = comments_txt.text;

var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest(â€emailacount.aspxâ€);
req.method = URLRequestMethod.POST;
req.data = variables;

var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
loader.dataFormat = URLLoaderDataFormat.VARIABLES;
loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, sent);
loader.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, error);
loader.load(req);

}

function sent(e:Event):void
{
status_txt.text = â€œYour email has been sent.â€;
firstname_txt.text = â€œâ€;
lastname_txt.text = â€œâ€;
email_txt.text = â€œâ€;
comments_txt.text = â€œâ€;
}

function error(e:IOErrorEvent):void
{

Query String With %D8
Dear everybody

I have changed from Flash 5 to Flash MX. In Flash 5 it was possible to call a flash movie with a query string containing the danish letters æ, ø and å, which all have numbers beyond 127.

The same query strings write nonsense in my flash movie text fields.

I have also tried to use FlashVars as documented on

but it gives the same error.

Have I forgotten something? How can I transfer letters like %D8 to the flash 6 player?

Pulling From A Query String
alright I've fidgured some things out and this is what I am currently doing.

I am attempting to load variables placed into the query sting (url) into a dynamic text field with the same variable name. Currently it is effecting the variable but it is not putting the values into the text field
Here is my code:

loadVariablesNum ("void", 0, "POST");
to = "0";
from = "0";

I have attempted sending the variables using "GET" as well as "Don't send" with the same results

the page is
http://www.familyties.com/dogDaystes...=josh&from=bob

If you remove the "to" and "from" on the query string the default value of "0" appears in each variable

What am I doing wrong?

Load Swf Into Swf (specifying In Query String)
Hi I have the following problem (I am not too experiences with flash AS, but trying to learn).

Basically I have the following model:

player.swf (interface that looks like winamp for instance)
song01.swf (swf with imported mp3)

What ends up happening is song01.swf is loaded into player swf. The way it works right now is I have to hardcode the name of the song to load into each player.swf. But what I'd like to do is to specity which song I want to add in a query string and player.swf will pick it up. For instance:

www.mysite.dom/player.php?song=song01.swf

then player.swf in player.php will pick up the variable song01.swf and laod it into itself.

Can anyone give a quick hint? Thanks much guys.

And lastly, I am doing it all in Flash 5.

My Query String Function
In case anyone was interested, here's a query-string routine I wrote that may be of some use to people. It works just like __GET(tolken) in PHP or Request.QueryString(tolken) in ASP. Just call queryString(tolken) where you want the value of a string you passed to the .swf file in URL. For example: ...src="mymovie.swf?valA=hi&valB=there"
queryString("valA") will return 'hi' and queryString("valB") will return 'there'
Below is the function definition. Just slap it wherever, the function is defined on the global scope.

Code:
_global.queryString = function(tolken) {
// Written by Gus Crawford. No usage restrictions,
// don't have to credit me, be happy and solve problems.
// The entire queryString:
var theQueryString:String = new String();
var theStart:Number = new Number(0);
var theLength:Number = new Number(0);
theQueryString = unescape(_root._url);
theStart = theQueryString.indexOf("?", 0);
theLength = theQueryString.length - theStart;
theQueryString = theQueryString.substr(theStart, theLength);
//_root.out.text = tolken;
// Good, we have the ENTIRE qstring isolated.
// now find our specific tolken
// look for our tolken name preceded by a ? or & symbol.

// look for ?tolken= or &tolken=
var valStart:Number = new Number(0);
var valEnd:Number = new Number(0);
var valLen:Number = new Number(0);

valStart = theQueryString.indexOf("?" + tolken + "=", 0);
if (valStart == -1) {
valStart = theQueryString.indexOf("&" + tolken + "=", 0);
if (valStart == -1) {
return "undef";
}
}
valStart ++;

valEnd = theQueryString.indexOf("&", valStart);
if (valEnd == -1) {
valEnd = theQueryString.length;
}
else {
valEnd --;
}

valLen = (valEnd - valStart) + 1;

var FinalValue:String = new String();
FinalValue = theQueryString.substr(valStart, valLen);

var ChopHere:Number = new Number(0);
var ChopThisLong:Number = new Number(0);

ChopHere = FinalValue.indexOf("=", 0) + 1;
ChopThisLong = (FinalValue.length - ChopHere) + 1;
FinalValue = FinalValue.substr(ChopHere, ChopThisLong);
return FinalValue;
}

How Do I Get A URL Into Flash From A Query String?
I've looked around in books and docs and forums and I've realised that I've got no idea of what to look for.

What I want to do is quite simple: somehow append a URL string to the Flash <object/> and <embed/> tags to tell Flash where to look for an MP3 file.

Something like:

HTML Code:
<object height="40" id="fl_cube" width="50" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"> <param value="http://mysite.com/assets/mp3player.swf?url=audio_file.mp3" name="movie" /> <param value="high" name="quality" /> <param value="#FFFFFF" name="bgcolor" /> <embed width="50" height="40" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" name="mp3player" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" quality="high" src="http://mysite.com/assets/mp3player.swf?url=audio_file.mp3" />
</object>
I don't even know if the query string is right:

"http://mysite.com/assets/mp3player.swf?url=audio_file.mp3"

Any help or tutorials would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Query String Variables
I know I've done this before, but I can't find the file that had it.

I'm trying to simply load a variable from the URL into flash as a variable.

eg.
"http://www.mywebsite.com/index.html?page=home"
Would send Flash a variable "page" with value "home"

I remember only having to change the embed code to get this to work.

I've seen countless examples of this, but where the variable is in the source code of the page, which is not what I need. The variable must be dynamic, and therefore in the URL.

Query String Glitch?
This should be an easy one. For some reason, the query string I am passing into Flash is not working completely.

I use the Flash Satay method to load my movie. Then, I am sending simple variables using a query string. Here is the code that I'm using:

c.swf?path=navigation.swf?skipIntro=1&curSection=1

The first variable, "skipIntro", is passed with no problems. The second variable, "curSection" has no effect. I've tried reversting the order like this:

c.swf?path=navigation.swf?curSection=1&skipIntro=1

But, then "curSection" works and "skipIntro" has no effect. Another thing to note is that the problem produces the same effect in both IE and Mozilla.

I think this is why this is happening: A query string starts with the ? symbol. The & symbol indicates the next variable. So, the second ? (the start of the "second" query string) is treated as text. The & symbol is taken by the holder movie rather than as a the second movie.

Does anyone know of a simple workaround? I'm going to try and get the navigation.swf to retrive the variable from the holder swf.

I am guessing LoadVar or loadMovie.....then a swf. then the query; my.swf?="query"

I know what it has to do, I just don't know exactly how to "say" it.

Query String And AS3 In Flash Cs3
I have been searching for how to read querystrings from html into flash.

I mean that I would like to get the variables like this:
Code:

<embed src="header_v2.swf?beta=1" quality="high" ...></embed>
I would like to get the variable: beta into flash.

In AS2 it was pretty easy, but when I try it in AS3 I get the error: Access of undefined property beta.

This is what I tried:Code:

var betaString:String = beta;
trace(betaString);
I have searched everywhere but cannot figure out how to get this in, is there someone that can help me out by pointing me in the right direction. If I find it out I will post an example/solution here.

I have looked at URLVariables and URLLoader, but those seem to be for outbound calls to a specific location, not when actually embedding the swf file. The reason that I am trying to figure this out is that I need the HTML/PHP embeded calls to remain the same.

Pulling Variables From The Query String
Does any one know how I would go about pulling variables from the query string (URL) and post them in a dynamic text box? My overall goal is to have an animated Flash 5 card that will display the name of the person who sent the card and the name of the person recieving the card.

Thanks

Pulling Variables From A Query String?
alright I've fidgured some things out and this is what I am currently doing.

I am attempting to load variables placed into the query sting (url) into a dynamic text field with the same variable name. Currently it is effecting the variable but it is not putting the values into the text field
Here is my code:

loadVariablesNum ("void", 0, "POST");
to = "0";
from = "0";

I have attempted sending the variables using "GET" as well as "Don't send" with the same results

the page is
http://www.familyties.com/dogDaystes...=josh&from=bob

If you remove the "to" and "from" on the query string the default value of "0" appears in each variable

What am I doing wrong?

Passing Data With Query String
I'm trying to 'pass-through' a variable in a flash movie.

Basically I'm using flash to create a form that needs to be posted back to a server side database, using get url this is no problem.

However I want to populate the flash movie with a value that when the get url command is exectued, this value is passed back to the database.

e.g.

I have a variable called "AdvertID" it's value is "100". I know this before I play the movie, so I call the movie thus:

embed src "movie.swf?AdvertID=100" etc.

However when flash posts this data back using get url, it doesn't appear as one of the variables.

I do not want the user to see this value (however if they must I can live with it).

Do I have to declare "AdvertID" as a variable for this to work?

If I do where?

Thanks.
