Passing Property Values And Passing Them Back
Hi,
I am trying to pass property values from one function to another function, let it do it's work then pass it back to original function when called.
Example:
Code:
function displayText()
{
nameCurrentMap.curMapName.text = flashServ.map;
nameCurrentMap.curMapName.embedFonts = true;
nameCurrentMap.curMapName._alpha = 0;
fadeInCurrentMap = setInterval(fadeIn, 50);
}
function fadeIn()
{
if(nameCurrentMap.curMapName._alpha < 100){
nameCurrentMap.curMapName._alpha += 5;
}else{
clearInterval(fadeIn);
}
}
As of right now this code works perfectly. However, I have to hard code my property value. I wish to make it more dynamic so I can use the function "fadIn()" more universally.
The colored (red) text shows on what I wish to make it more dynamic.
I basically want to take the property and be able to use any instance name in place and pass it back.
I hope someone out there understands on what I am trying to explain.
Any Help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
- Alex

Passing XML To Flash
Hello all,
I found the following XML driven quiz on the net and I was wondering how can I adapt the XML doc to pass CDATA instead of "Value". The code is currently sending the "answers" values into Flash as value, instead of values I will like to type the answers inside of CDATA tags. I don't know how and what to change in the XML as well as in the AS file.
I tried to contact the author but no use, I guess his email is no more
Please see the link http://actionscript.org/showMovie.php?id=831 where you can see and download the files. I will appreciatte your help

Passing Variables From ASP To Flash
Hey, folks.
Here's the deal -
I've got a .swf that sits at the top of an html website. The .swf contains sound - and a nifty on/off toggle button to turn said annoying sound on or off.
Unfortunately, the .swf is not in its own frame - so every time a link is clicked, the .swf is reloaded.
I'm DESPERATELY trying to pass a 'sound' variable from the .swf (eg. sound == "on") into asp.
THIS seems to be working - because I can see the sound=on (for example) tag in the url when the page reloads, and when I view the source of the .asp document.
Now... how in tarnation do I get Flash to load the value from the ASP? It's clearly not doing that. It's in the query string - it's in the url - hell, when I view the source, the value in the ASP is changing.
How do I succesfully load the value 'sound' from the ASP into Flash?
stop ();
if (_level0.sound != "off") {
tellTarget ("sound_toggle") {
gotoAndStop (2);
}
} else {
tellTarget ("sound_toggle") {
gotoAndStop (3);
}
}
I know how to load values from, say, a text file - does it work the same way, especially given that the ASP is continually being changed by the Flash?
Does anyone have ANY idea how to save seven professional developers from insanity?
Thanks, folks!

Passing Variables To Flash 5?
When you mouseover a section in my nav, the color of the clip will change, let's say to orange. When you click, a new HTML page will load and the navigation would then default back to it's normal "off" state, with a color of "blue". Orange is the "on" color, blue is the "off" color. What I want to do is to make the orange color "sticky". Meaning that the navigation would stay orange even after a new page has loaded.
This SHOULD be possible, but I'm not sure how I would go about doing it. I'm not using frames or it would be fairly easy. I'm thinking about putting a "nav=orange" on the end of each link on my site. I'm hoping that I can somehow pass that variable into Flash which would then know to "make orange the default color" for the selected page instead of the normal blue color. I would use this method for each different color that I wanted to make "sticky".
Does that make sense at all? Can someone point me in the right direction, either with code or a link to code?
Passing A Value To A Flash Movie
could you find out what you need to do to read in the value that I pass to the flash movie.
In the HTML page that holds the movie there is this line in the code:
<PARAM NAME=movie VALUE="debug.swf?src=gotit">
I need you to be able to read the value of the variable 'src', which in this instance is 'gotit',
and have that appear as one of the values when your form submits.
Passing A Complex URL Through Flash
Hey all,
Have a problem that I don't know how to fix...
as you all know flash can supply dynmaic text after the SWF file name (i.e. link.swf?link=whatever)
my problem is this... I"m setting it up to work with an ad generation system, and my problem is this.
This system creates the links and i've got them to work all fine except when I need to use the "&" sign.
the link looks something like this (link.swf?link=whatever?click=something&zone=somet hing×tamp=somethingelse
as you can see the ad program puts a "?" at the begining of it's link... which is what it's supposed to do... what flash does is treat the "&" as a variable or something, because it get's ignored all together...
Any thoughts on how to fix this?
Thanks
ASP Passing Variables Into Flash
Will someone kindly help me to understand how I would go about passing vaiable "X" into my flash movie which contains a dynamic text field.
Passing Variables Into Flash
Here is the snippit of code...
<object ...>
<param name=movie value="Flash/test.swf?songid=123">

Passing ASP Variables To Flash MX
Sorry for asking this but I'm new to flash actionscripting so here goes...
I have a form that passes several variables (in ASP) to another page, would it be possible to extract those variables and have them show as text in a flash movie and also replace the url encoded spaces with blank spaces?
i.e. n=Andy
or m=Andy%20Smith
in asp file that contains the flash file I want to set the variables from the previous page then display them in a movie file...
What I'm trying to do is have someone fill out a form with various text fields, these details are passed to another page for confirmation, they will also be able to see a representation of the text they have entered in a layout in a flash file which is contained in an ASP page...
hopefully that's reasonably clear...
Cheers,
Andy
Passing Vars To Flash
Hi I'm using flash MX and
having some difficulties getting a flash form to "Read" vars from an asp page.
Basically the asp checks if a user name is allready in use
, then creates the vars that tell the movie to goto "success" or "Failed" parts of the movie
this is the asp code that is giving me trouble:
<%@LANGUAGE="JAVASCRIPT"%>
if(!rsUserName.EOF)
{
Response.End
Response.Write("iFailed=1");
}else{
Response.Write("iSuccess=1");
}
%>
I've tried it without response.write e.g just iFailed=1
still doesn't work.
I'm sure it's somthing to do with the vars because if a user name is being used it doesn't perform the task after the Response.Write("iFailed=1");
If the user name is not in the db then it works (performs the tasks in the script) but always sends flash to the failed part of the movie
what am I doing wrong?
In Flash:
frame 1.
// Quantity of time to allow (in milliseconds) for variables to load.
qTimeOut = 3000;
// Quantity of retries (after initial try).
qRetry = 2;
stop();
---------------------------------------
This code is attached to button:
on (press) {
MM_insert = "true";
iSuccess = 0;
loadVariablesNum("http://localhost/myfolder/form.asp",0, "POST");
nTimeStart = getTimer();
nRetry = 0;
play();
}
--------------------------------------------
frame2.
play();
-----------------------------------------
frame 3.
nTimeElapsed = getTimer()-nTimeStart;
if (!(Number(iSuccess)) && nTimeElapsed<qTimeOut && nRetry<qRetry) {
gotoAndPlay(_currentframe-1);
} else if (!(Number(iSuccess)) && nTimeElapsed>=qTimeOut && nRetry<qRetry) {
nTimeStart = getTimer();
++nRetry;
gotoAndPlay(_currentframe-1);
} else if (!(Number(iSuccess)) && nRetry>=qRetry) {
// frame with you have submitted unsuccessfully message
gotoAndStop("Failed");
} else {
// frame with you have submitted successfully message
gotoAndStop("success");
}
-------------------------------------------------
in frames 4(success) & 5 (Failed) stop()
Hope fully there's some one here who can help
Thanks in advance.

Passing Variables To Flash
I am trying to pass variables into flash using the GET method, by appending a URL eg http://www.mydomain.com/flashhost.php?var1=test.

Passing Hex Colors Into Flash
Hi,
I posted a simlar question before, but didnt explain the problem correctly.
I have drawn up a map in flash which is made up of several, movie clip images that define areas.
I want to pass these movie clips a colour, so when the final movie loads, the individual movie clips take the colour passed to them from a variable.
Any one have any ideas?
P.S. Im a very flash newbie, and know no action script so the less complicated the better.
Many thanks
Passing Variable From Flash To ASP
Hi all,
I'm just fixing a swf for a friend....it should be a quick fix.
Basically i have an input field in flash thet when the user clicks the button the following action is executed:
Code:
getURL("dosearch.asp?KEYS=" add val.text, _self);
The search works fine except when i seem to use special characters.
If i do a search for say
Ned's Head
it brings up an error but if i were to do:
Neds Head
it would search correctly.
My question is how do i escape special characters or do i have to do it in the ASP script. Because i have never used ASP can anyone tell me where i need to modify the script to allow special characters?
Here's the dosearch.asp
Code:
<%

Passing Variables From The Url To Flash

Passing Variables To Flash
Hey All,
I searched through the forums and didn't find anything that addresses this specific issue.
I want to pass a variable to flash from my html file. I know I can pass a variable inside of the <EMBED> and <PARAM> tags, but all the examples I've seen set the value of the variable at the same time.
I'm defining and setting the value in the url (i.e http://www.url.com?variable=value) then I want to pass the variable to my swf file and have it keep the value I define in the url.
It's currently not receiving the variable. If I define the variable and assign it's value inside the embed and param tags it works fine, though.
Thanks for any help.

Now this link calls a different page as per the different products.

We need to use only 1 flash swf carrying the links since the site is based on Content Management System.

sender.Postcode = Postcode.text;
sender.Tel = Tel.text;
sender.Email = Email.text;
sender.DJ = DJ.text;
sender.Club = Club.text;
sender.Hear = Hear.text;
sender.Occupation = Occupation.text;
sender.Mobile = Mobile.text;
sender.Add2 = Add2.text;
sender.Title = Title.text;
sender.send("http://blahblahblah","_blank","post");
}
I know I need to put something else instead of .text but I've tried .selected .value and a few others but it still passes nothing. I've put Mr, Mrs etc.. in the Labels and Data section of the components properties.. what am I missing?
Thanks, Rockstar.
ps, thanks to Lexicon for all the help so far!
Passing Arrays Into Flash
Hi,
Is there a simple way to pass an array into Flash?
I have a database that I want to query.
I need the results of the query passed into an array in Flash.
I'm using Flash MX 04, SQL DB, and ASP.
My Process is currently as follows:
I've got a DB in SQL with data.
I'm using ASP to query the database and return the results.
In asp, I'm formatting a string of variables -
&item1=a|b|c&item2=d|e|f&item3=g|h|i and so forth
In Flash I'm using LoadVariablesNum and pointing to the asp page.
I parse the string so that item1's data will be in array[0], item2's data will be in array[1] and so forth.
The data to be passed into flash is a bit long so the strings are quite long.
Is there an easier way to do what I am doing?
Thanks.
Passing Variables In Flash?
I have a navigational movie which animates each time the user goes to a new page. I would like to make it so that the user only sees the nav animate once when they originally enter the site and not again after that. I know it can be done by creating and passing a variable but I dont know how. Can anyone tell me or give me another resource which will help?
Thanks

Passing Variables From FLASH To PHP
I'm trying to pass simple variables from flash to php and vice versa. I have come accross so many different ways that i don't know which one to use.
I have a flash movie and i have a php script. I want variables to pass to the script a few times a second, then the php script sends the values to a MySQL database. But i have no problem with that. The problem is that i can not get the variables in flash to pass to php. I don't want the movie to do anything when a variable is passed either. So the getURL command is no good.
Does anyone know how i can do this?
Thanks.
Passing Variables From Flash To PHP
I have a problem when trying pass a variable (entered into an input textfield) from Flash to PHP. When the button is hit to activate the LoadVars object, the PHP script returns the error message:
Notice: Undefined index: years in /Users/phil/Sites/phpflash/campaign/calculation.php on line 2
Here's the Flash script:
var path:String = "http://localhost/~phil/phpflash/campaign/"
var dataOut:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
myBtn.onRelease = function() {
dataOut.years = years_txt.text;
dataOut.send (path + "calculation.php", "_blank");
//trace(years_txt.text);
};
And here's the PHP script (called 'calculation.php'):
<?php
$calculation = $_POST['years']*7;
echo $calculation;
?>
The trace function shows me that the value entered by the user is recognised and I've done all the usual checks (ie: checking the path names and instance names etc are all correct), but I'm still getting the Undefined index error.
Can anyone help?
Help Passing Vars From Flash To PHP
I am trying to do something that is probably very simple, but I am having the toughest time.
I am simply trying to take 2 text inputs in flash (1 var is called username and the other called passwrd).
I simply want these variables to POST to a page called login2.php
I also want to first check to see if either of them is empty.
Here's what I have so far and it does not seem to be sending my variables. I think my code doesn't know exactly where my text inputs are because if I leave the fields blank, it still goes to the page.
Code:
on(release, keyPress "<Enter>"){
auth.txtuser = _root.closemovie.acctLogin.username.text;
auth.txtpass = _root.closemovie.acctLogin.passwrd.text;
if(_root.closemovie.acctLogin.username.text == "" || _root.closemovie.acctLogin.passwrd.text == ""){
_root.errormsg.gotoAndPlay("back");
} else {
_root.closemovie.gotoAndPlay("away");
_root.loginmovie.gotoAndPlay("back");
trace(auth);
auth.send("login2.php","_blank","POST");
}
}
My button and both my inputs all sit inside of a movie clip. Why doesn't this work?!

Passing Variables To PHP From Flash
Hey guys,
If anyone could help with this, I'd be very happy!
I have my Flash5 movie embedded in the index.html page in:
http://www.dar.cam.ac.uk/mayball/smrtj/
(swf file location http://www.dar.cam.ac.uk/mayball/smrtj/smrtj.swf)
On each page after the intro, I have an "admin" button. (Note there is also an "admin" button on the intro page, but this doesn't yet have any AS).
On each page, which is actually a scene in my swf, the variable current is set to the name of the current page, juniors, say. The "admin" buttons have the following AS:
on (release) {
page = current;
getURL ("form.php", "admin", "GET");
}
So that brings up a new window (called "admin") and, from the juniors page, loads:
dar.cam.ac.uk/mayball/smrtj/current=juniors&page=juniors
into it.
The problem is, the PHP doesn't get the variables! The URL is in the address bar as shown here, but "Here, page should be: $page" doesn't show anything for the $page variable!
Can anyone clear this up for me???
Thanks a lot,
Chris
Passing Arrays To Flash From PHP
Hi
I need to let my admin guy enter dates into external files for my calendar in my swf to load onto an events calendar.
The events calendar is actually more of a timeline, and these dates will place dots on the timeline.
Any ideas on the best way to do this??
Thanks a lot,
Chris

Passing Data From Flash To ASP
I'm not sure about how to go about this. I have a flash file with a search form in it. I want to pass the data entered into this search form to a non-flash .asp page to show the results there. And I have to use Flash 7. How do I go about doing this?
Thanks!
