Flash :: Passing Variables From Flash To HTML Form List

Passing Variables To HTML List Form Field
Hello and yes, I am stuck again.

So, here's my dilemma...
I have an HTML page with a form on the right hand side of the page and an embedded SWF on the left. Upon pressing a button with the SWF, I want to send a variable to the HTML form, to a list box. I've worked with the Javascript Integration Kit from the Expert Tutorial in the Flash 5 Bible and I don't see anything about it in the Flash MX Bible. Does anyone know how to do this?

The code I used in Flash was this:
on (press) {
getURL("javascript:FDK_AddValueToList('frmindex/selmy', 'Rogers Park', 'Rogers Park', "1'");
}

Then in Dreamweaver, I entered the this code (it isn't PHP. I couldn't get the code to show up any other way):

Any ideas?

Thanks,
jessicuh
PHP Code:

<script language="JavaScript" type="text/JavaScript">

</script>
</head>
<body>
<form action="" method="post" name="frmindex" id="frmindex">
  <select name="selmy" size="1" multiple id="selmy">
  </select>
</form>

Passing HTML Form And Hidden Variables From Flash To Html Page
Hi,

I have a html/flash site now, http://www.zachariack.com.

i access email from my site itself by giving the userid and pwd text box which i copied from the actual website hosting my email access. i copied the entire
<form...></form> tag to my page and thus was able to put the name and pwd in my home page only and access the email in a separate window.

now i have redesigned my webpage using only flash. i would like to know how i can implement the same using flash. as i have not much experience using action scripting i am a bit stuck about how you pass the hidden form variables. the below is the the exact form syntax:

<form name="form1" action="http://www.accudatanet.com/mail/msglist.php" method=post>
<input type="hidden" name=sid value="E9697301F704A0CE947DEF42CF86636A">
<input type=text size=15 name=f_user value="">
<input type=hidden name=six value=0>
<input type=password size=15 name="f_pass">
<input type=submit name=submit value="Login >>" class="button">
</form>

how do i implement the above using action scripting. thanks.

regards,
vasant

Passing Variables From Flash To PHP [form]
Hi

I have a question.
How do you pass variables from flash to php?
What I wanna do is, get the username and password entered in this form made in flash, when the submit button is hit, it will open and send these variables to login_processor.php. If the info is put in correctly, it will take them to a different page.

The login_processor.pgp works for html form, but not for flash. In flash I have two input texts, and I gave them each their own var names.

This code I assigned to my submit and reset button:

submit_btn.onRelease=function () {
getURL("login_processor", "_self", "POST");
}

reset_btn.onRelease=function () {
usernameText.text="";
passwordText.text="";
}

stop();

this script is not working, even though you put in the right info, it will take you to login_processor.php and that's it, you're not even logged in.

any ideas?

thanks alot

Passing Flash Variables To HTML
Hi,

I have a question regarding passing Flash variables to HTML pages. I have looked on several resource sites but can't seem to find the answer anywhere.

Basically I have two flash movies in two separate HTML pages. The first page links to the second page and back to the first page via the Flash movies using getURL.

When the first page is reloaded, the first movie then plays from the start. I would like to pass variables from the second page to the first so that I can test for them at the start of the first movie and use gotoAndPlay to go the the relevant frame.

Is this possible with just the two HTML pages and Flash movies or would I need something server side such as PHP or ASP?

Thanks in anticipation,

Danny

Passing Variables To XML, HTML, & FLASH

ok. Here's my problem.

-There are about about 1500 pages. And I dont want to have 1 flash file and 1 XML file for each time the navigation changes.

Here is what I need to do.

-I want to have, if possible, 1 flash file and multiple XML files and pass variables from the specific HTML page that you are on, to the flash file and then the flash will pull a specific XML file. (confusing, i know).

I hope this is understandable.

Passing Variables Into Flash From HTML?
Hi, 2 Quick questions -

(a) Can I pass a variable into a Flash movie from its .HTML container?
(b) Can I pass a variable into a Flash movie from the browser QueryString?

P.S. I know I can load variables from a text/asp file but that won't help in this case.

Passing Variables From Html To Flash. How?
Hi,
I have a flash file with a movie clip with actionscripted movement. It moves based on variables passed to it. So when a button sets the value of moveX to 100, it moves to _x=100. This is all easy. But how do I send moveX = 100; from an html button?

Code:
//MovieClip Actions
onClipEvent(enterFrame){
movieClip._x = moveX;
}
The code is much more complex in reality. I am just using this as an example
How can I modify this code to look for a variable set by an HTML button? What do you I use on the HTML button? I figure I would have to JavaScript, right?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Flip.

Passing Variables From Html To Flash
Im trying to figure out how to pass commands from html to flash. I made a navigation bar that needs to change color for each page, but I don't want to have to make a different navigation bar for each html page. So I want the html page to have a variable or something that flash can read and therefore interpret what page it is being displayed on.

Anyone know how to do this?

Passing Variables HTML->Flash
so I was a pretty good actionscripter back in my day, but its been a few years. Anyone mind debugging this for me. It seems to be working on some platforms and not others.

--- html object tag

<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=7,0,0,0" width="760" height="117" align="middle">

<param name="quality" value="high" />

<param name="bgcolor" value="#000000" />
<embed src="../new%20site/header.swf?headType=company" quality="high" bgcolor="#000000" width="760" height="117" align="middle" allowscriptaccess="sameDomain" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" />
</object>

------------
so I am passing the variable headType=company
------------

--- actionscript in first frame of flash file
stop();

if (headType !="") {
if (headType=="home") {
gotoAndPlay (2);
}
else if (headType=="film") {
gotoAndPlay (3);
}
else if (headType=="television") {
gotoAndPlay (4);
}

}
else if (headType=="technology") {
gotoAndPlay (7);
}
else if (headType=="partnerships") {
gotoAndPlay (8);
}
else if (headType=="company") {
gotoAndPlay (9);
}
else {
gotoAndPlay(2);
}
}

Passing Variables From Html To Flash Movie
Hi,

When I load my game I want certain variables to be automatically passed to it. The movie is embedded into a html page created by asp, so the variables will be passed into the html easily. I just don't know how to get them from the html to the Flash.

I realise that once loaded I could use loadVariables to make an asp call, but in this case the asp has created the html page containing the variables to start with and I just want to read them in.

Hope this makes sense and somebody out there can help!

Thanks

Passing Variables From The Embeded Flash Into The Html
my problem may be very simple - hopefully it is...

I think that I need to pass variables into the javascript with the head of the html - does anybody know how???

let me explain..

I was having probs with the scoreboard - as i think i mentioned before -- getting the thing to open up within a window of a set size while still sending the variables.

Okay - so I found - or variated from a code that i had found to come up with this:

getURL ("javascript:spawnWindow(window.open('http://www.myPage.com/cgi-bin/gamefiles/sendscore.exe?" add username add "&" add email add "&" add score add "&" add type add "','game5','status=yes, scroll=yes,width=400,location=yes, height=550')) ");

ok - well a bit different from that actually --- the same exluding the spawnWindow() - and i was getting it opening alright but the problem was is that the game window turned into a grey page saying"{object}" and the address bar saying javascript: bla bla --

so using this spawnWindow code - i have sort of got it to work -- but not unless i repeat the same code in the head text of the html - ok?

Now the problem - when i repeat the code - what must happen is that it spawns a window for each bit of code - i.e. - spawns one from the flash - and another one from the html---- the one from the html - requires debugging and states person is neither member nor guest.....(this is default if the variables have not been sent)

ok so far?

Now if I have the code only in the html and in flash i say getURL("javascript:spawnWindow()") - it tries to but the same thing happens.

okay - so finally i get to the question - would you know how to pass the variables into this code in the head of the html? - i.e. - is this possible?

anyone that can - I would really appreciate some help here

thanks in advance

Passing Variables From Html To Flash Not Working Any More.
I have had complaints from a few previous clients that their flash files weren't displaying. I have looked at them all and the problem is that any flash file with a variable passed using the url method just hangs.

eg. anything with something like this in the embedding code just hangs:

Code:
< param name="movie" value="flash/myMovie.swf?myVariable=123" >

I am completely baffled by this. Any suggestions anyone? The file hasn't changed, the html page hasn't changed, but it no longer works!

Passing Variables To Flash From Html Link
how can i pass the var to flash where i can send from post..

for example: http://www.brandlite.com/index.htm?link=exhibits

the only way i can pass it so far is hardcoding it into my html page like this...

Code:
/embed src="main.swf?link=exhibits" width="780" height="480" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent"/
where i do it in the embed src="main.swf?link=exhibits tag..

how can i pass with a link instead of hard coding.. see the thing is that i have one movie that loads all other swf.s so i want it to load the specific one that was set by the variable instead of hardionign different pages for different scenarios.

please help thanks[/code]

Passing Variables From HTML To Flash: Tutorial
I've just completed a new tutorial on passing variables from HTML to Flash. In the tutorial, I show how to pass files names of external MP3's to your Flash movie. This way, you only need to edit your HTML, and never need to open the Flash to update your music player. However, the variables could be anything - a text string, numbers, etc.

The new tutorial is listed toward the bottom of the index of tutorials available.

[fmx2004] Passing Variables From Html To Flash
After reading a few posts, I wasn't able to find the answer to this.

I want to have links on several pages of my website which, when clicked, take the user to an html page called "portfolio.htm" which has a flash portfolio on it. This portfolio is set up with a series of buttons which load external .swf files for each project. How do I tell flash which .swf to load when the flash file opens.

ex: user clicks on "project x" on a web page called print.htm. The user should then be taken to portfolio.htm where a flash file resides and loads "project x" into a movie clip called "content_mc".

All the other posts I've read make reference to PHP. Is it neccesary to use PHP, or can I achieve this without PHP? Thanks for any advice you can offer.

Avoid Reloading Of Flash Movies When Passing Them Variables From Html
Hi all.
I've created a two-levels flash menu (mainsections each with subsections) which I am using as navigation in a html page. When I go to a different page, the html sends the movie a variable telling it to what section it should be automatically opened. Everything works fine except that when the movie receives a new variable it reloads from zero. Is there any way to avoid this without the use of frames?
Thank you very much.

Passing Variables In Form Thru PHP
I am making my first form in Flash 5. It comprises of several one line text fields (subject, first_name, last_name, company, country, city, area of interest, email) and a multi-line text field (comments). I read through the tutorial at http://www.actionscripts.org/tutorials.shtml - intermediate level, tutorial 06 (PHP mail form in Flash)and I spent quite a bit of time unsuccessfully trying to adapt this code to my form;
I altered the script that gos into the PHP document by writing the following and saving it as a PHP3 file:

PHP Code:

<?php

PHP Code:

mail("visuallyinclined@yahoo.com", $subject, $message, $first_name, $last_name, $company , $country, $city, $discipline,"From: PHPMailer
Reply-To: $from
X-Mailer: PHP/" . phpversion());

I created my own form, including the text input fields in my first frame, naming the input text fields by their corresponding variables listed above (subject, first_name etc...). - and placed the thank you confirmation in the second frame. I also copied his exact script (top of page http://www.actionscripts.org/tutoria...l/index3.shtml) into my first frame
and the button actionscript (bottom of page http://www.actionscripts.org/tutoria...l/index3.shtml) was similarly attached to my button. I place the PHP file in the same location as my Flash file

the 3 problems are the following:
1. I am not receiving email.
2. When the user fills out the last field in my form, the writing is illegible.
3 In some fields the writing is bold, in others, it isn't.
4. The confirmation page works erratically

Can someone please please PLEASE take a look at my file and tell me what the problem is. The site is www.lv-em.com/form.html. I've attached my .fla for your review.

Thank you in advance!

Passing Radio Button Variables In Email Form
I am trying to figure out how to pass the variables of a radio button group in an email form. I have been going through everything I can find and tried a number of approaches with no success. I am able to pass text field information with no problem but I get a "[object Object]" result for my radio buttons. I am using PHP to process the email form.

I have two radio buttons in a group named "Softwaresupply". From what I understand, I need to load the variables of the resulted selection of these two radio buttons that can then be passed to the PHP page. In my actionscript I have this set up to gather that info (why is it that you don't need to do this for the textfield info??):

function POST() {
formData = new LoadVars();
formData.Softwaresupply = "";

formData.Softwaresupply = Softwaresupply.getValue();
}

My submit button has the following code attached to it:
on (release) {
loadVariablesNum("quote.php", 0, "POST");
Softwaresupply = formData.Softwaresupply;
gotoAndStop(5);
}

The gotoandstop is simply a "thankyou for your submission screen"

My PHP to display the results is as follows: (This includes the textfield info which does work):

$message.="Name:*".$_POST['FirstName']."*".$_POST['LastName'];
$message.="
Email:*".$_POST['Email'];
$message.="
Phone:*".$_POST['Phone'];
$message.="
Purpose:*".$_POST['Purpose'];
$message.="
Software Supply:*".$_POST['Softwaresupply'];

SOOOO... what am I missing here???

Thanks,

Passing Variables From Html
I can pass variables directly into a swf via the url:

Code:
http://www.wesite.com/Movie.swf?MyVar=true

and I can hard code a variable value into my movie by altering the body and embed (or whichever ones you alter)tags in the html:

Movie.swf?MyVar=true

But what I want to do is pass a variable into Flash when calling the html page it is embedded in

i.e.
Code:
http://www.website.com/page.html?MyVar=false

then the value of MyVar is passed from the html into the Flash movie embedded in it.

any ideas?

i have a test, which at the end, must open a html , passing on 3 variables: question number, correct/not, and number of tries. I've managed to make my variables show up on a textfield, so all is ok with them so far. but i don't understand exactly how to send them. if i put an action on a frame with a "geturl" action that specifies to GET the variables, they don't show up on my url...

where do i specify *which* vars to send? do they have to be on a textfield onstage? in the same timeline? in a frame?

help!

thanks

Passing Variables From Html To Swf
hi... got a problem:
i used to pass values directly from an html (or php or asp) to an swf using this:

<param name="movie" value="menu.swf?type=3">

(and the other tag)

<embed src="menu.swf?type=3" ...

this used to work fine, i would have a varialbe in root called "type" with a value "3" to do my stuff. but now i can't get the swf to recognize the passed variable.

has something changed with Flash CS3? i am using action script 2

thanks

Passing Variables From 1 Html To Another
I was just wondering what would be the "best" way to pass a variable that's in a swf to another swf located in another html.

something like index.swf embed in index.html and sends a value to a variable to index1.swf embed in index1.html.

What I'm trying to achieve is have a user select the language he wants, plays the rest of the swf and when it reaches the last frame it does something like

ActionScript Code:
//this is the last frame of splash.swfif (language == "fr") { _root.container.loadMovie("about.swf"); //_root is on index.swf _root.getLanguage(language); //passes the value to a variable in a function}else if (language == "eng") { _root.container.loadMovie("about.swf"); _root.getLanguage(language);}

so that works perfectly when splash.swf is loaded into index.swf but now I want the same result but having splash.swf and index.swf on different html
