Flash :: Send A Variable Into A .loadClip Swf.

LoadClip With Variable Problem
I can not seem to find any info on the problem I'm now having. Using the below code will not work for some reason. It refuses to load the jpeg. If I substitute an actual path, it works great. Also, I can trace varFromAbove and it trace fine. Any ideas?

Code:
function loadImages(varFromAbove) {

var myLoader = new MovieClipLoader();

var myListener = new Object();
myListener.onLoadInit = function () {

}

myLoader.addListener(myListener);
myLoader.loadClip(varFromAbove, _root.largeImage);

}

LoadClip Url As Variable? Problem
ok,
I am constructing a appearently simple photo thingy in flash.
I have some variables that contain the paths to images.

When I give the url as a string like loadClip("url",.... all goes fine. When the url is inside a variable it does work when the variable is defined like: var something = "url"; it also works....

but as soon as I use my loop generated urls the image won;t
load.... Has that anything to do with the nature of my variables:

I am trying to load the var called photolocs

Code:

function showContent() {
var nr = 0;
for (i=0; i<this.m; i++) {
if(this["album_id"+i] == 23){
nr += 1;
var rijnr = i;
var photolocs = String('"'+this["photo_location"+i]+'"');
newMC = basismc.duplicateMovieClip("mcname" + i, i);
newMC._x = newMC._x;
newMC._y = newMC._y + 50*nr;
var mcname = eval("mcname"+i);
basismc._visible = false;

mcname.loc = photolocs;
mcname.nummer = nr;
mcname.rijnr = rijnr;
}
mcname.select_album = this["album_id"+i];
mcname.newsfla****em.team_mc.content.text = ">> "+this["album_desc"+i];
mcname.newsfla****em.vereniging_mc.content.text = this["album_name"+i];
mcname.newsfla****em.loploplop = 2+(i*10);
}
}
var c = new LoadVars();
c.onLoad = showContent;
c.sendAndLoad("getphotos.php", c, "POST");
stop();

I can not think of anything, I tried it all
I hope for a push in the right direction, many thanks!

Send Variable To Pop Up ?
Hi everybody,
I have a project to finish and no idea how to. I suspect that I have to use PHP on this one, but I ask you - flash guru!

I would like to open a popup window from a flash movie and send an action to it. I explain it better. I have a movie with 25 thumb. When you click on the thumbs a popup window should open displaying the respective picture in big dimensions. The popup window is simply a photo gallery were you can look than at all the big pictures with two normal next and prev buttons.
It?s possible to send a variable that loads the choosen pictures into the popup window? Somenthing like: if you click on the thumb1 the popup window open and load the pict1big into a movieclip, if you click on the thumb2 the pict2big is loaded .. etc..

here the code I use to load the thumbs on the movie and launch the pop up

Code:

for (var i = 1; i<=26; i++) {
var thumb = tumbs["t"+i];
thumb.loadMovie("http://www.site.com/pict/thumbs/"+i+".jpg");
thumb.id = i;
tumbs.onRelease=function(){
getURL("javascript:NewWindow=window.open('http://www.site.com/popup/popwin.html','newWin','width=561,height=784,left=100,top=50,toolbar=No,location=No,scrollbars=No,status=No,resizable=No,fullscreen=No'); NewWindow.focus();void(0);");
}
}

and here the code I have in the first frame of the pop up window (to be as clear as possible..)

Code:

stop();

empty.loadMovie("http://www.site.com/pict/big/1.jpg","_root.empty")

bnext.onRelease=function(){
empty.loadMovie("http://www.pulver-studio.de/pict/s04/big/2.jpg", "_root.empty")
}

prev.onRelease=function(){
empty.loadMovie("http://www.pulver-studio.de/pict/s04/big/25.jpg", "_root.empty")
}

At the moment when the pop up opens it dislpays the picture number 1.
It?s possible to do what I would like?

thaks for reading all this at least ;)
any help, please!

Send Variable Values From One SWF To Another
Greetings

Here's the didge: I want to send different variable values to a SWF when loading it - so it goes to the frame I want it to.

I have several buttons - each send the SWF to a different frame upon loading - okay I got that... but now when I want to choose a new link to zip to a different frame, or part of the site, the SWF must load again - some kind of caching problem.

A kind gentleman gave me some assistance to solve this problem, but I didn't know how to interpret it: (this is out of context - from the scripting & backend forum)
__________________________________________________ ___

Hi,

if you require a recent flashplayer (this feature was added to FP6 later), you can also use <embed src="movie.swf" flashvars="var1=value1&var2=value2"> and its param counterpart - this looks the same for the movie but solves the caching problem

Either way is very similar to flash loading variables from a text file or server, and you do not add quote marks there either

Could this work with a loadMovieNum command?

The work in progress is at

http://www.indoamericanfilms.com/test.html

several links under "the film" all go to the same SWF-but jump to a different frame. but the SWF reloads every time

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you,

Is there any easy way to do this?

Send Variable To PHP From Projector
I have made an XML file editor that needs to run from a stand alone projector. The code i have will overwrite and save the XML via PHP just fine when used in a browser, but i cannot get it to work when run from a projector.

i am using this code to send variables to a php script:

code:
send_btn.onRelease = function() {
input_xml.parseXML("<edit> new text </edit>");
input_xml.firstChild.firstChild.nodeValue = input_txt.text;
input_xml.xmlDecl = "";
// declaration duplication bug
input_xml.sendAndLoad(server_file, output_xml);
output_txt.text = "Loading...";
};

the PHP script is as follows:

code:
<?php
$filename = "unit401.xml";
$raw_xml = file_get_contents("php://input");

print $raw_xml;

$fp = fopen($filename, "w");
fwrite($fp, $raw_xml);
fclose($fp);
?>

This works fine when used in a browser. However it needs to work from a stand alone flash projector. any suggestions?

Send A Dynamic Variable To An SWF
I have an ASP page where users can choose from a list of titles. When they click on one I need it to open up an SWF and display data appropriate to the title chosen by the user. So in other words I need to pass an ID from ASP to Flash. I know about LoadVariables and how I can have it grab variables from an ASP page, but how do I have it grab a variable that changes based on what the user clicks? I hope that made sense. Thanks in advance.

hello,
i have "One.as", which is the document class for one.swf.
i also have "two.swf", with "Two.swf" entered as its document class...

One loads two into it. two is basically a 10 frame movieClip with a variable at the beginning called "var endFrame:Boolean = false", then on the last frame it says endFrame = true.

my question: how in the world do I communicate this back to One.as??? i've tried ENTER_FRAME listeners, declaring the variable here and there... and many other embarrassingly usuccessful strategies.

i would just like to load in "three.swf" after two.swf finishes... but One needs to know that it has indeed finished.

your help would be greatly appreciated. thanks

Send Variable To Flash From HTML
Does anyone know how i would go about declaring and sending a variable to a flash movie that is embedded into an html page.

Here's what I'm trying to do...

I have a menu tree designed in flash.
It sits in a table on an html page.
I need to let the flash movie know what page it is on...
so that the menu will open to the appropriate submenu.

My initial thought was to set up the embed code to url encode
the variable like so...

(EMBED src="mymovie.swf?mymenu=submenu1" ect)

But this causes the movie to not play.

If anybody knows how to control a flash movie with the html
page that the movie is embedded into, it would be greatly appreciated.
thanks.

How To Send Variable From Html To Flash?
Can anyone give me some hint how to do this?
I have a html file with pull down menu. It will direct the user to a flash file, simply depend on what value he has selected from the pull down menu. (a flash file with some frames, go to which frame simply depends on what value he has chosen from the html files).

Send A Variable From Flash To Dreamweaver
OK,

I have a flash movie embeded into a dreamweaver designed page, I have loads of variables passed to flash, and have no problems with that.

I now want to use a button in flash, that once pressed will send a variable in the flash movie back to dreamweaver.

I want it to send the variable to a blank form field or text field.

Is there a nice an simple way to do this?

Send A Variable To A Shim-movie
I'm using a shim-movie to load data across domains (as explained at http://www.macromedia.com/support/fl...ad_xdomain.htm)

The shim-movie that I use, activates a PHP script, and because the PHP-script can be activated in diffrent ways, and the results will differ (depenting on the action started), I would like to send a variable to the shim movie.

Now I run movie.swf, which calls the shim movie like:
loadMovieNum("http://www.MyOtherDomain.com/shim.swf",1);

In shim.swf I call script.php like:
loadVariables("script.php",1);
(or something like this, because I'm not home right now I can't check the exact way I run this, but the effect will be the same...)

now I want to ad some options to the loadVariables-line, and I'm wondering how I can do this. Is this possible by calling the shim movie like:
option="run";
loadMovieNum("http://www.MyOtherDomain.com/shim.swf",1);
(or maybe it's possible to do this???:
loadMovieNum("http://www.MyOtherDomain.com/shim.swf?option=run",1);
)

and then put the next thing in the shim-movie:
if(option=="run"){
loadVariables("script.php?action=run",1);
} else {
loadVariables("script.php",1);
}

Can anyone help me? I really have no clue on how to sent a variable into the shim-movie, so that I can use this variable in the way I want to call my php-script.

Thanks in advance!!!
(by the way, I'm pretty new with actionscript as you may have noticed, but I really would like to get more familiar with the language. I'm experienced in PHP, CGI, HTML, etc so I'm not totally wacko...)
