Reloading Variables Without Reloading Movie
After speding several hours on this and countless other boards, I've yet to find a solution that works for me. It's a common enough question I suppose.

I'm creating something of a one way message system. On comptuer I'm using an SWF to (succesfully) send data and store it in a database using Cold Fusion and an SQL db. On that side, all is good.

On a seperate machine, I'm trying to place an IM type window that will continually call to a ColdFusion page that pulls from the previously mentioned DB. The very first time the SWF is loaded, all is good, however I have yet to find a succesful way of essentially re-running the cold fusion page to pull new information. Looping through the animation seems to do nothing but load previous information, even thogh the database has changed.

Frame 2 of my SWF uses loadVariablesNum to load the variables from a CF page directly into root. Frame 1 of the SWF clears the variable prior to it loading again so that they are not duplicated.

I don't have a problem with setting a timed resoponse within reason, but it seems regardless what I do, the page continually caches the results. How can I force the SWF to load fresh variables from a ColdFusion page that has already been run once?

Argh Reloading Same Movie Doesnt Reset Variables Or Intervals?
Hi,
I have a "controler" movie which loads child movies into a movieClip called "holder_mc", if you load a child movieclip and run actions or functions within this, then reload the same child movieclip, the original settings are not reset and intervals are not cleared, which as you can expect causes some problems.

I am loading the movie with loadMovie, and inbetween reloading, i remove the movieclip, however this still has the same problem?!

ANy ideas would be great
thanks

Obtain Movie Background / Flash Activex
Hi all;

I'm using VB6 and the FLASH activex control. I have a form with two such controls on it (flash1 and flash2) and I want to be able to match the background of the movie in the FLASH1 control with the same color as the background of the movie in the FLASH2 control.

1) How do I obtain the color of the movie in the FLASH2 control? When I run 'flash2.backgroundcolor' it always returns the value for black, which is not accurate for the movie I am using for testing this process.

2) How do I then set the background color for the FLASH1 control? I believe 'flash1.backgroundcolor = " will work fine here, but any other ideas are appreciated.

thanks in advance!!!!

How To Obtain Relative Position Of Movie Clips?
Dear all,

Firstly, many thanks for all your help on previous questions posted.

My problem is based on the code below (which won’t work as it stands as it requires linkage from external movie clips). The code (adapted from Chapter 15 Flash MX 2004 ActionScript by Derek Franklin / Jobe Makar) creates 30 movie clips on the stage. I wish to be able to use the mouse to detect their position on the stage (display_mc.list_mc[name].onRelease = function ()).
However when ever I try this I only get
450 from trace (yposition) which is space x 15 (i.e.30 x 15)
regardless of which movie clip I select.
Yet I can obtain the relative value from the display_mc.list_mc using
trace (_root.display_mc.list_mc.infoBar3_mc._y); that displays 90 (i.e the 3rd one along)

I want to be able to obtain these individual movie clips position on the stage but I am unsure how to do this. Can this be done?
Hope the above makes sense.


Many thanks in advance


ActionScript Code:
var list:Array = ["Adrastea", "Amalthea", "Ananke", "Callisto", "Carme", "Elara", "Europa", "Ganymede", "Himalia", "Io", "Leda", "Lysithea", "Metis", "Pasiphae", "Sinope", "Thebe"];

function buildList ()
{
    var spacing:Number = 30;
    for (var i = 0; i < list.length; ++i)
    {
        var name:String = "infoBar" + i + "_mc";
        var y:Number = i * spacing;
        display_mc.list_mc.attachMovie ("infoBar", name, i);
        display_mc.list_mc[name]._y = y;
        display_mc.list_mc[name].moonName_txt.text = list[i];
        display_mc.list_mc[name].moonNum_txt.text = i + 1;
        display_mc.list_mc[name].onRelease =  function ()
        {
            var yposition:Number = display_mc.list_mc[name]._y;
            trace (yposition);
            trace (_root.display_mc.list_mc.infoBar3_mc._y);
            trace (display_mc.list_mc.infoBar3_mc._x);
        }
    }
}
buildList();

Reloading Variables On The Fly
I am loading variables from a text file. It works fine when i have the loading code in the movie and the textfield variables set. I want to be able to press a button to set the textfield variables while the movie is playing. I am using this code:


Code:
datetxt.variable=date
datetxt is the textfield instance name and date is the variable. This should work fine except when i press the button the variables are being set on the text fields but they are not loading into the text fields. Does anyone know what i mean or is there any way to refresh the textfields so that they load the variables?

Variables Not Reloading. HELP
Hello all, this is my first post, so be gentle.

I am working on an announcement movie that will display a set of messages on a large screen display for our office.

The problem I am having is that when I run the movie in IE, the variables do not reload, but when I am testing in Flash (ctrl+enter), they reload fine.

The way I currently have it setup is to use the LoadVars command, then build my messages, scroll them across the screen, then once all messages have been seen, I use a gotoAndPlay and put the slider at the last frame which then immeadiately reloads the movie.

Everything works perfect when I test in flash, but the variables do not reload when brought up in IE. Any help would be greatly apprieciated. Thanks.

Unable To Obtain Full Window Flash Movie Playback
I am new to using Flash and have converted a wmv file to a flash movie intended to show in an inline frame on my website. I produced the flv, content swf, skin swf and html files the tutorial describes and opening the html file in a browser (or the inline frame) plays the movie. However, I am unable to fill the frame with the movie. This leaves a blank area around the movie on the web page. I am not sure if my problem is in the wmv encoding or further down the line in the encoding and loading process. I would appreciate an explanation or a pointer to the documentation I need to look at. Thank you.

Reloading/flushing Variables
Hello,

I am wondering how one would flush variables in a movie. I have a scene where I import data, set them into variables and then display them in dynamic text. I then have a button that changes it to a different set of import data. So I am trying to have the output text seamlessly change its values with the click of a button.

I can get it to work if i separate out the frames. Meaning I have frame 1 load the variable, and frame two display the data. The button loads frame 1 with a different value and then frame 2 picks up the new value again. The problem is that when I click the button, there is that 1 frame gap where the text field isn't displayed. Is there a way to do this in code?

If I can elaborate more or clarify more, please don't hesitate to ask. Thank you for your time.

Reloading Flash With Other Variables?
Hi is there any ways to reload my flash with other variables, lets say i'm running a flash which is called myFlash.swf?id=1&step=1

If I then from the same flash want to call myFlash.swf?id=1&step=2

is that possible?

I have a movieclip which loads some jpgs and I want to only show 10 of them at a time? so in my frame 5 I load the jpgs and shows step=1 to stepto=10 (values I define in the first frame of my movie). Now I thought I could just make a button which onrelease changed step=11 and stepto=20, and then gotoAndPlay(4) which then reached frame 5 and the images 11 to 20 was shown, but that doesnt work? any help would be highly appreciated :-)

Reloading Variables From Database
I have a flash header that receives random text from a database through a PHP page. I'm using the loadVariables function to bring in the first random text and that works fine. I then have a button that should access the PHP again and retrieve another random text set from the database (once again using the loadVariables function).

Whenever I use the loadVariables function on the button to renew the random text, it brings up the same text over and over again. When I use loadVariablesNum it works, but opens up a blank page with the output of the variables (getURL also works, opening up a blank page).

Is there a way for me to use the loadVariablesNum without having the page popup with the variables printed out? Or better yet, is there a way to just use the loadVariables to renew the info?


Cheers!

Reloading Movieclip As Variables Change.
Okay, i am working on a flash website and i have for the first time made everything dynamically loading from outside of the SWF to reduce the file size. I have a text file which is dynamically loaded into a text box, which i have defined in a variable called "textfile". I want to reload the movieclip on the click of a button and at the same time change the variable for the text file to be opened into the text box. so as i click content, the variable changes to content and the movieclip reloads, showing content.txt in the text box, does anyone have any idea of how i would go about this?

Reloading Of Flash Doesnt Update Variables?
Hello!

I have a problem with a flash movie that counts down to a deadline. When the movie loads it collects the current date and time from the server via a php script. The first time I load the movie it shows the correct time left to the deadline as numbers counting down, but if I "refresh" the frame that holds the movie the countdown jumps back to the numbers it had the first time I loaded the movie (for example if it said 22:10:10 when I loaded first, and was down to 22:01:10 when I refreshed, it jumps back to 22:10:10). Why doesnt the flash-movie reload when I refresh the frame and yet again collects the correct time from the server via the script, and where the heck are those variables stored so that flash can "reuse" them when I reload the frame, they should be gone!?

If anyone gest what I'm saying I would be VERY thankful for help

Send Variables From Flash To Php Without Reloading The Page
Hi,
I know there were many messages posted regarding sending variables from flash to php. But I am facing a problem. I wrote a small code where in I used send() method of LoadVar object, it sends the message but it reloads the php page which I do not want it to do. I tried using sendAndLoad() and here it does not send any variable at all. Below is my sample code. Please can anyone tell me where I am going wrong

PHP code: (recieve.php)
<?php
$s = "12";
$r = $_POST['name'];
echo $r;
?>
<embed name="move" src="static.swf" height=250 width=250 play="false" loop="false" quality="high">

Flash code:

c.onLoad = function() { trace(this.s); };
c.name = "xyz";
x.sendAndLoad("receive.php", c, "POST");

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.

Loading A Movie From A Remote Location And Reloading The Main Movie
HELP!!! I have a flash movie that loads a movie (at level0) from a remote location.. There are two movies there, one that stops the movie and another that reloads the main flash movie (I just rename the swf's to toggle which one I want loaded). The problem is, when the second remote swf reloads the main flash swf, it just loops back to playing the remote swf again. I've tried using telltarget to make the main movie play a frame after the actionscript that loads the remote swf, but that doesn't work either. Are there any alternatives to doing this? thanks...

Reloading Movie?
Just curious about something.

Lets say I go to my movie (using MSIE as I do). I find something wrong so I fix it, re-publish and upload.

If I hit reload, I get same old movie not the new one unless I either:
1. Change movie file name
2. close browser and re-open.

Is there a way around this? I know with php, you can just do somelamevar=randomnumbersequence.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Why Would This Movie Clip Keep Reloading?
If anyone can lend me some help here, I'd appreciate it! I'm new to flash, so this may be a basic question - bear with me!

I have one layer in my .fla file that is a movie clip (Background). When it finishes, it stayes on the page as my background - this layer works fine. In a different layer I have a small movie clip that loads and SHOULD just stay there (in other words the movie clip itself has a loop in it to give it the appearence of hovering). What seems to happen is that the entire clip reloads. If I take away the background layer and ONLY have the "hovering" movie clip as the entire .fla file, it works just like it's supposed to. When I add it to the background layer, it seems to loop back and start over entirely. How do I get it to load once then just sit there?

Hope that made sense.

Thanks in advance.

Reloading Movie Issue... Odd.
I had this movie (

http://www.offsite-it.com/flashers/Services_Feb_20.fla

) working properly in FLASH MX, but when I moved over to MX 2004, it started acting really strange. I ignorantly thought there would be no trouble moving it from one version to another. So I opened it, and without respect to any varying file types I saved.

Whoops. It now rolls the movie over and over when you try to mouse-over any other slection aside from the first selection.

Additionally. I have removed the first selection in the list, only to find that the NEW selection, listed first, now works fine and the remainder do not.

Your information and expertise are greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

i've made a movie clip with a piece of music in it and an on and an off button, which works fine by itself, however when you import it into a the scene it restarts each time you go to a different point in the scene. obviously this is not desired as it means that once you've turned the music of it restarts.

is there anything i can do?

also, i've published my flash document in dreamweaver to make it appear in the centre of the screen, it's in a one cell table and justifies to the centre horizontally but not vertically, which it seems to do in dreamweaver. confusing

Reloading A Movie Clip In The Library
I'm creating an interface that uses nested SWF clips as components. I've imported each SWF into the library and have placed them throughout the stage and performed various keyframed transformations on them. Typical stuff.

After using some of these nested clips, however, I've made changes to the original FLAs. I'd like re-publish the FLA, then update/refresh the SWF in the library so I can retain the animations and transitions I've created for them in the parent clip. Is this possible? I can't find any way to do this, but it seems pretty basic.

Is my only option to delete the clips within the parent, load the new version into the library, create an instance of the new clip, and then redo all the animation/transition work from scratch?

Stop Movie From Reloading After User Have Seen It
Hello everyone.

I have website in .html, with flash movie embeded (with preloader and menu buttons).. and I'm trying to stop the movie from loading after the user clicks on one of the menu buttons and goes to the next page.
I did some search and looks like I need to use sharedObject, I found some scripts but nothing worked for me...

Here is what I was using.


Code:

var my_so:SharedObject = SharedObject.getLocal("seenThis");
if (my_so.data.name == "seen it") {
//been here before
gotoAndStop(251);
} else {
//first visit
gotoAndPlay(1);
my_so.data.name = "seen it";
my_so.flush(1000);
}
stop();
I also come to realize that the movie/menu has ongoing animation, and I guess something else should be done for that...
I'm using a template and I'm not sure how I would get that script to work...

here are the files

FLA

Flash Movie Reloading Solution
Hey all.
I'm having an issue and someone would be my golden child if they helped me solve it. I have a flash movie that sits as the header of my shopping cart. The problem is, whenever you click ANY LINK on the page, the page of course reloads (duh, that's how the web works unless I use iframes..I got that). I think you see where I'm going with this. IS THERE a way to set a cookie or something in the flash movie so that the movie knows that that user already saw the first 10 frames and it won't keep showing them everytime the movie loads?? Any ideas here? I'm very familiar with flash but just getting into advanced actionscripting. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hello,

I've created a Flash movie with animation as a header for my website. This movie is embedded into my "header.html" file which is called by every page on the site (by way of PHP).

Is there a way that I can have this movie only load on the first page the user visits, and then have the movie stay at its last frame whenever the user goes to another page (as opposed to reloading every time a new page is loaded?

I hope I made this clear, and that I'm in the most appropriate forum. Thank you for any help!

Preventing Button From Reloading Movie
Sorry I know this is not really a problem, jus something id like to do.

When you press any of the button they keep reloading their assigned movie onto the root movie even though it is currently visible and occupying the target.

the actins on the buttons are simply this (home button)

on (release) {
_root.content.loadMovie("home-clip.swf");
}

Please see the file. http://www.fxstorm.com

what actions should I add to make the buttons realise it's assigned movie is currently loaded and active, thus, shouldn't be reloaded.

"content" is the target area of the main movie, the buttond are also loaded onto a seperate taget area.

Thanks in advace for all your help

I have a quick question with hopefully a simple solution. If you click on a button in my movie and as the movie is loading, quickly click on a different button. What happens is, my movie starts to rapidly repeat itself. Does anyone have a solution for this?

Please help. Thank you.

Stop Movie Reloading On Back Button?
Hi all!

This question has probably already been asked but I couldn't find it in search so I'll ask again

I am not sure if this is even possible but basically what I want to do is stop a flash movie from replaying/loading when someone presses the back button. Say someone is surfing my site and they click on a link, and it takes them off to another page, they do what ever it is they want to do there, then press the back button to go back to my page, but instead of the page just flashing up it goes through all the initial animations for each movie, which I don't want. If they refresh the page, fair enough, but is it possible with flash to do the same as with an image. Press back and the image pops up instantly?? Is this possible and if so how do I do it?

Any help would be much appreciated

Thanks

Vince

Reloading An Altered Flash Movie With A .txt File
i have seen a couple of websites that you can draw/load images/move them around to create pictures and other things. you can save your picture at anytime (i believe as a .txt) and then come back to it with everything already drawn and loaded onto the screen. i am trying to create a program very similar to this and i have no idea how to access the .txt file and load a previously altered flash movie. if anyone has any ideas i would appreciate it. thanks

Timer Seconds Aren't Seconds On Fast Connection?
On my flash site at
http://www.yogashanti.com
there is a timer which displays my random quotes for arund 20 seconds, but on fast connections woooooah!

How do i resolve this without setting the seconds to a looong length of time (which would mean on dial-up connections each quote will be there forever.

I hope i made it clear what the problem is - sorry if it seems un-clear.

Many thanks in advance

[noob Filter] Reloading A Movie After Loading A Random Mc...
Hi, I have the following problem. Probably it´s very easy to solve.

I have a 1 frame flash movie that loads random movies into a movieClip.
What I want is that at the end of each loaded movie, the movie will unload itself (its already working) and reload the main movie so another random movie is loaded instead.

The code to load the random movie is as following:

filename = ["hipotecarios_1.swf", "hipotecarios_2.swf", "hipotecarios_3.swf"];
path = "";
i = filename.length;
k = Math.floor(Math.random()*i);
loadMovie(path+filename[k], movieTarget);

What I dont have is the code to put at the end of each loaded movie to make the "randomization" happen again. Anyone can help?

Thanks a lot in advance.

Stop Reloading Movie Clip On Frame Entry
Hello. I have a movie that requires the download from an external source of 25 different swfs. I use a thumbnail button to bring down each swf by going to a frame that then loads the swf into an empty clip. This all works fine. How can I return to the various frames holding the movieclips without a reload each time?

Many thanks.
