Flash :: JavaScript And Flash Communication Problem

ASP / Flash Communication
I want to pass parameters to my flash movie.

Can I do this with the <PARAM> tag in the <OBJECT> tag???

I know I can fetch a URL AFTER flash loads but this is no good for me since the ASP page that creates the Flash Page (with the Object tag) has the information that needs to be passed.

Please email me at: rweaver@movementrecords.com

Thanks

Communication Between BSP And FLASH
Hi

Here is what we are trying to do.

Send 2 values entered in FLASH file to a BSP page.
then the BSP page has to populate the DATABASE with those two values and then return an ok once its done.

I know this can be done using ASP or JSP ..but the problem we are facing is when we recive the values from flash the BSP has to excute a BAPI and then send the result bk to flash.

the way we have Response.Write to send the value bk
is there anything to do the same in BSP??

Any help will be very greatful.

thanks in advance.

Flash And Php Communication?
I am doing something wrong. I am trying to get flash to go request data from a php file. With the following code:

// press button to activate function
magic.onPress = function () {
// ask php for data
this.loadVariables("test.php","POST");
// populate mytextfield with data
mytextfield=data;
};

The php code is as follows:

< ?
echo"&data=test";
? >
What am I doing wrong?

Communication Between Flash & C++ On MAC OS X?
Hello All,

I am using MAC OS X 10.4.X to develop my application.

I want to communicate between flash & C++(which is container app for .swf), the data(in string format) transfer should be vice-versa i.e. from C++ to flash & from flash to C++. How can I do this? Any APIs to complete this functionality such as ExternalInterface/XMLSocket/SharedObject etc.? Which will be the best? Is it possible to communicate directly with the flash of the web-site from C++?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

Communication Between FMS And Flash
Good day to all you geniuses,

I have been working for a couple of years with AS2 and now am required to start using FMS, of which I know nothing.

My task is simple I believe, I need the user's swf to get access to the FMS stats. I found functions such as "getServerStats()", "client.getStats()" etc... but can't seem to find how to recieve the info.

Basically I need the client to know how many other users are connected, and build a waiting cue. It doesn't seem very complicated, but as I said, I can't get the swf to recieve the info.

Any help would be very welcome.

Thanks,

David

VB.net, Flash 8 Communication
Help me please,

please find the vb.net coding I want to assign the value of the selected font to an action script variable to dynamically change the font on a .swf movie.

//TO LOAD FLASH MOVIE
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
Try
AxShockwaveFlash1.LoadMovie(0, "F:dynamic_font_loaddynafontload.swf")
Catch ex As Exception
MsgBox("exception occured")
End Try
End Sub

// TO SELECT FONT

Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click

Try
FontDialog1.ShowDialog()
font_selected = FontDialog1.Font.Name.ToString
Catch ex As Exception
MsgBox("exception Occured")
End Try
End Sub

//ACTION SCRIPT CODE TO SET THE FONT ON THE MOVIE
btn_cf.onRelease = function()
{

var myformat:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
font_sel="Arial"
myformat.font = font_sel;
load_font.setTextFormat(myformat);

}

Instead of Assigning the font directly to the "font_sel" variable I want to send the name of the font selected using the vb.net program and change the font on the flash movie.

I am unable to send the value feom vb.net to flash variable so it doesn't want to work

Is this the correct logic

please help me

Flash And C++ Communication
Hello,

I'm mainly a C/C++ developer. I have a UI coded in flash (running inside a flash OCX fired up from C++) that is fed it's data using the Setvariable() method of the flash object from C++. On the flash side it's using the watch method to detect changes to the variable and process the data acordingly.
The C++ dialog receives it's data from a different thread in turn, this may cause the thread that executes Setvariable() to execute this method faster than flash may process it. Under high message load, the flash movie freezes while the rest of the app (located in other threads) continues operating.
Is there a way to determine when flash finished processing a message contained in the setvariable method? Maybe using the watch method on flash side is not the best approach. I'm not much into flash but I read that flash provides means of handling events through event dispatchers. Would that allow for messages to be processed asynchrounously, thus eliminating the crashes?
I would very much appreciate any comments or help you might offer regarding this. Thanks,

Sabelo

Flash - JS Communication From CD ROM
I am delivering Flash content (embedded in a HTML page) from a CD-ROM.

The Flash makes calls to JS that is in the HTML (e.g. AS code = getURL("javascript:openGlossary()") )

FF and IE do not seem to be happy with this functionality. Off my HDD, it works fine, but not when the content is burned and played from the CD-ROM.

Any ideas?

Cheers

Flash Communication
Hi -

Is it possible to get Flash Movies to communicate to each other from different locations throughout a LAN (sys1:SWF <-> sys2:SWF)?

Especially not using a browser doing some Javascript for the communication and therefore only playing the movies within a browser-window.

Communication TO Flash
Hi Guys,

I am looking for the smartest way to establish communication between the html-page and Flash.

The actual problem is: Our agency has many authors that we represent. Of course, each author has his own page. No I want ONE Flash-Navigation to cover all this. That means that some code has to "tell" the flash-film the authors name.

I know that this CAN work with flash-methods via javascript. But it DOES NOT work on IE Macintosh etc., which is ****.

What way would you propose to pass a simple variable to the flash film ? (asp, php etc...)

Thank you very much!

Communication Between Flash Files
hi.

the following problem:

a browser screen consisting of 3 frames, the upper one is the flash navigation, in the middle there is a database-driven html content frame and the bottom frame again is a flash navigation (w/ search and other things).

now, if one clicks one of the main navigation points in the upper frame, the color of the whole upper navigation "morphs" to another one (ie. form blue to red) - while the html content is loaded.

but the problem is: the additional flash navigation in the bottom frame should also morph its color when the upper one is clicked.

so there has to be some sort of "communication" between them - telling the bottom flash file that it has to react on something whcih has happened on the upper flash file

how can i do this?

thanks,

jomo

New Flash MX Communication Server Bug
Hi anyone tried the new Flash MX communication server trial , cause when I installed it the suggested components that must show up in the Flash authoring tool were not there ...I tried it on a several computers with the same result.

Flash Communication Server
What the hell is this. Another version of flash. I spent over 500 dollars when MX first came out, excited about the possibility of video conferencing development, and it turns out you need this new version to do this. Please tell me I am mistaken. If I am not, to hell with Macromedia. This is the kind of crap that makes people down load software illegally.

Is there a way I can create video conferencing with the current MX and use another type of server software to connect applications together?

Concerned, broke, and pissed,

Flash Communication With Html?
I would like to pass variables between a flash movie and outside html pages. Here are a couple examples:

Communication Between 2 Flash Movies
First of all I want to say Hi to everyone. I’m not new to this site (thank Flash Kit, you have helped me a lot :)), but today I decided to register in the forum. The thing is that I’m trying to make two flash movies communicate with each other (at least so that one of the swf can talk to the other file (1.swf (select something) --> 2.swf (starts the selected frame))). Hope you understand what I’m trying to do (if not, tell me what, and I'll to make it more understanding) :). I can’t find a tutorial/guide on this so that why I have turned to the forum.

Thanks

Javascript To Flash Communication...
Sorry if this is a frequently asked question, but I can't get the search to work and I really need some sort of answer on this.

I have a Flash clip that I'm writing that needs to both communicate with the javascript, as well as receive communication from the javascript. The sending is pretty simple, using the fscommand() stuff.

However, I'm having a huge amount of trouble having javascript call flash. Is there an obvious way to do this? I'd like to also call functions inside of my flash object, but all I find are SetVariable() tutorials, which really isn't what I need....

Is there an alternate way to do this? I don't need to use Javascript--just anything compatible with IE 6.0 (no other browsers, since I'm actually using this for a Microsoft Media Center environment). I just need to achieve communication inside of the flash object, and that's it...

Any help on communicating to a flash object is much appreciated, and excuse me if this is an often addressed issue.

Communication Between Flash And HTML
Hi,
I'm not sure if this is the right forum to ask this in, but I'll give it a try.

I want to add a preloader for a flash file in HTML. The most obvious way to do this would of course be to add this inside the flash file. However, this is not an option since there are already approx. 200 flash files we need a preloader for.

My next idea is to instead use a gif picture on the HTML page when the flash is loading and then hide it and show the flash file when its loaded. My question is, how can this be done?
Are there any events or properties on the flash file that indicates if the file is done loading? I've added the flash file to the html page like this:

<EMBED id="flashmovie" swLiveConnect="true" src="flashfile.swf" quality="high" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" WIDTH="520" HEIGHT="420" TYPE="application/x-shockwave-flash" PLUGINSPAGE="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash"></EMBED>

Thanks!
