Flash :: Can Flash Interact With Php Without Reloading Everytime?

SharedFont Reloading Everytime New Page Loads
Hello List,

First my apologies if this is in the wrong category.

Now, I have about 150 files all sharing the same font symbols. I have 1 HTML page, 1 mainLoading .swf and then about 140 .swf's that get loaded into mainLoading. The shared font symbol is working when all the files are in the same folder. However I just learned that the HTML file will be two folders up. I made appropriated changes in the HTML file and everything loads in fine however now the SharedFont.swf loads in every time a new page loads.

I watched the Activity monitor when all the all the pages were in one folder and SharedFont.swf loaded only once.

Now I can see its loading everytime affecting loadtimes and quickly using up memory.

Any thoughts on this. Does the sharedfont.swf have to be in the same folder as the HTML file. I don't see why it should but maybe there is something I am missing.

Again sorry if this is not exactly on topic but any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Reloading Flash Clip Without Reloading HTML Page
Hello.
It is possible to Reload flash clip without reloading HTML page ?
Using JavaScript
I used this:

<javascript type='text/javascript'>
document.getElementById("id1").value="2.swf";
document.getElementById("id2").src="2.swf";
</javascript>

It's changes Tags Values. But the clip don't reloading.

Loading New Flash Everytime.
Can someone remind me how I can load a new copy of a Flash file everytime?

I've done a few searches... but am not sure what to search for!

I know it's something like: flashfile.swf#randomstring - I'm not sure about the exact syntax either.

If I wanted to do this... how would I do this from one browser call?
Would I need to involve any Javascript?

Thanks.

Flash Crashes EVERYTIME
I am dead in the water. Flash CS 3 9.0 crashes 100% of the time after running a SWF. This happens using ANY SWF, even one that contains only the single line
trace("hello world");

I am using Mac OS X 10.5.5. This problem seems to have started after I installed Flex Builder 3 Pro Edition. I am not using Flex at the moment though, I am trying to use the Flash IDE. The odd thing is even if I run the simplest SWF outside of the IDE (by double clicking it in the Finder) I get a similar error.

I need both Flash and Flex on this machine. All was well just a few days ago. I am on a tight deadline and need to resolve this. The problem APPEARS to be some problem with the Flash Player itself, although Flex does not seem to crash. I paid a lot of money for these two applications and I need to figure this out quickly! All help appreciated.

The OS is reporting the following. The machine is having no other problems and no other applications crash. It's high end MacBook Pro with 4GB RAM and 2.5GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with 320 GB HD.

Running Windows XP Pro SP2 - Flash Pro 8, everytime I choose an item and select any of the items under time line effect, the whole application crashes...This was working up to today, and it just stopped...i haven't installed anything new..

I'm thinking maybe its a registry key issue but anyone else came across this...?

Thanks!

Memory Leak/Does Flash Make Another Instance Everytime It Pa
I've got a Flash project about 100 frames long. The movie gets the filename of a jpg, then displays it as Flash makes it slowly drift by....but there's a memory leak. Everytime it loads another jpg, it adds about 1mb or so of memory, and that quickly adds up. I was reading another post ([url="http://www.actionscript.org/forums/showthread.php3?t=156554"]http://www.actionscript.org/forums/showthread.php3?t=156554[/url]) and Witchunter was having the same problem, he seemed to fix it by referencing the same variable. I thought my code was doing that already. Do I have to use .dispose()? Does Flash create another instance everytime the movie goes back to frame 1? Is it because I'm using "new Bitmap()"?

...Any solutions?

This is the code on my first frame.
Code:

import flash.filters.GlowFilter;
import flash.filters.BlurFilter;
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.external.ExternalInterface;
import ascb.util.NumberUtilities;

/*********************************

var blur:BlurFilter = new BlurFilter(64, 64, 2);
var fxArray:Array = [border1, border2, blur];
var image:Bitmap;
var xInt:Number;
var yInt:Number;

var url:String;

loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, imageLoaded);
loader.load(request);
}

function imageLoaded(event:Event):void {
//load and init image: alpha=0, autoSize
var ratio:Number;

//create image instance and initalize blurry and translucent
image = new Bitmap(event.target.content.bitmapData, "auto", true);
image.alpha = 0.5;
image.filters = fxArray;

//resize image, no side is bigger than 220 pixels
if (image.width > 220) {
   ratio = 220 / image.width;
   image.width = ratio * image.width;

}

}

//randomly place image
image.x = NumberUtilities.random(-20, (380 - image.width));
image.y = NumberUtilities.random(-20, (255 - image.height));

//randomoze velocities
xInt = (Math.random() * 0.3);

Flash Script Interact With Php
Hey,

I making a mail form but get stuck on something, im having a flash script looking like this

Code:
on (release) {
// create LoadVars(); Object
emailForm = new LoadVars();
// Attach vars to object
emailForm.totalName = firstName + " " +lastName;
emailForm.emailAddr = emailAddr;
emailform.adres = adres;
emailForm.messageBox = messageBox;
emailForm.newvar = myComboBox.getValue();
//traces vars
trace (emailForm.firstName);
trace (emailForm.lastName);
trace (emailForm.emailAddr);
trace (emailform.adres);
trace (emailForm.messageBox);
trace (emailForm.newvar);
// Send vars out with sendAndLoad
emailForm.sendAndLoad("viperMail.php",emailForm,"POST");
_root.contactClip.gotoAndPlay("thank");
}
And a php code like this

Code:
<?php
$interest = $_POST["newvar"];
$comment = $_POST["messageBox"];
$EmailBody = "Keuze van workshop: $interest
Message: $comment";
$sendTo = "info@moonsmile.nl";
$subject = "Inschrijving Workshop";
$headers = "From: " . $_POST["totalName"];
$headers .= "<" . $_POST["emailAddr"] . ">
";
$headers .= "Reply-To: " . $_POST["emailAddr"] . "
";
$headers .= "Return-Path: " . $_POST["emailAddr"];
$message = $EmailBody;
mail($sendTo, $subject, $message, $headers);
?>
I know how to ad a extra var in flash as you can see
Code:
emailform.adres = adres;

Code:
trace (emailform.adres);
But my question is: what must I put in the php then? to make it work correct?

Many thanks Michael

Is It Possible To Have Two Flash Movies Interact With Each Other?

Best regards

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?

Make Flash Interact With JavaScript
Hi all,

I´m trying to find out a way to Add a Flash navigation for the site I´m working on. But I need this menu to interact with the Javascript I´ve created in order to each "DIV" be called when you rollover the button or click on it, that doesn´t matter at all.

The question is: Is there a site with a tutorial that can give me a light on this or at least show a few ways that flash interacts with Javascript?

Thanks all!

Can 2 Seperate Flash Movies On Teh Same Page Interact With Each Other?
Hi, I was wondering if it is possible to get 2 flash movies on the same page to interact with eachother. For example, if at the top of my page is a flash menu, to the left of that is a flash movie that I want to change depending on what button is pressed, the rest of the page is html. Is there a way to do this? Below is a pic of what I am trying to get with the layout if it helps to show you what problem I am having. Thanks for any suggestions.

(If the movie in the gray box is a menu, can I get it to make the other movie in the blue box play or stop if they are 2 seperate .swf files?)

Security Issue - Flash Wont Interact
I'm developing a web site for kids that will allow interactivity between the flash application and an image on the local computer - eg to draw a moustache and beard on their own photograph. I know that the best method is for the user to upload the photograph but it would save a lot of fuss to just point the application to the location of the jpeg.

The problem is that, for security reasons, Flash does not allow you to access anything on the local host. Does anybody have a workaround?

Many thanks,
John

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 :-)

Stop Flash From Reloading
Im using a Flash header on my site and have an issue with it reloading everytime I change page.

Im wondering if anyone has any ideas on how to keep it static so its not constantly reloading on every link click.

the script for LOAD is:

onClipEvent (load)
{
total = _root.getBytesTotal();
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame)
{
loaded = _root.getBytesLoaded();
percent = int(loaded / total * 400);
text = "" + percent + "%";
gotoAndStop(percent);
if (loaded >= total / 4)
{
_root.gotoAndPlay(2);
} // end if
}

i tried to change _root.gotoAndPlay(2); to

if (page == "123") {
_root.gotoAndPlay(2);

} else {
_root.gotoAndPlay(134);

}

and adding in each page:
<param name="flashvars" value="page=123">
(embed tag ) flashvars="page=123"

Thanks guys
