Pass Variables To A Flash Movie
1st, I'm not sure if is is really concerning ActionScript (maybe it is silly HTML)
How can I load a page with a flash movie, passing a pair of variables to the movie?
In other words, I've an ASP page, that get name and age, and put them in variables. After that, I'll jump to a page with a flash movie, and I want to get the two variables inside the flash.
Any help will be pleasant

Pass Variables From One Flash Movie To Another
Hi,
I need to find a method of passing a single variable from one flash movie to another, I have read up briefly on this subject but have only found methods of retrieving variables.
Basically, I have a swf with a number of buttons which call upon the corresponding URL containing the new swf when pressed. The problem is, I want a standalone preloader swf before the new swf loads, and rather than create lots of separate preloaders for each new swf, it would be nice if i could create just the one preloader, with the variable of the desired swf being passed to the preloader.
I'm sure this is possible, but if someone could get me started I would be very grateful!
Thanks, Steve.
How To Pass Variables To A Flash Movie?
Hello guys, I have a question regarding work with variables.
Now, the base of what I'm doing is php scripting. Among other things I want to pass some variables to a flash movie. So I have a script A that passes some variables to a php script B that has a flash movie included. I want that flash movie to pick up values of those variables.
I'm not sure what's the best way to do it and how it should be properly done to exclude any possibility of an error. Is the best way to do it, passing the variables through the URL? So I call "scriptB.php?somevariable=somevalue" in my script A or are there other options?
I'm really not sure how to read those variables in flash. I know functions like loadVariables, but that's loading an entire URL, ain't it? What I would like is for flash just to receive the variable & value pairs that were send to the script B that's holding the flash movie?
I hope it makes sense. Thank you for help.

Help, Trying To Pass Variables From A Flash Movie To Html Using GetURL
here's an example of the code i am using (it's for a banner that lets you select a few dropdown options):
//concatenates the variables in my movie to the url
_root.urlvar=("http://www.examplesite.com/page.html?var1="+_root.variable1+"var2="+_root.var iable2);
//opens the url in a new browser window
getURL (_root.urlvar, "_blank");
The problem i am having is that IE and Firefox block this. Is there a way of getting around the security without changing browser settings?

I have a parent movie and a child movie.

I want to avoid using _root if I can.

Pass Variables To Duplicated Movie Clips
I am working on a XML based photo gallery that loads 16 images into thumbnails. The concept is to have the thumbnails be buttons that change an image that is located on the left.
This image is changed using a LargeImg(x) function, where x is an image inside an array.
I have two movie clips:
1.Thumb which is duplicated 16 times and replaced with images
2.ThumbButton which is duplicated 16 times as well, ontop of Thumb.
ThumbButton has a transparent button located inside that runs _root.LargeImg() function. I need to pass a value to the duplicated ThumbButton mc, that will enable the LargeImg() function to well, function.
How do I do that?
I hope that explains the issue.
Thanks for the help!
How To Pass Variables Values From Movie Clips To The Main Stage
Hi all,
Newbie here. I have been studying up a storm but the learning curve is steep.
I'm perplexed by passing variables from a movie clip to the main stage.
I have a movie clip with an instance name mc1 on the main stage. In that movie clip I declared a variable
c = 5;
on the first frame inside the mc1 movie clip.
I thought I could access that variable inside mc1 from the main stage by placing this on the first frame of the main stage:
x = _root.mc1.c;
Obviously I don't understand what is going on in terms of scope of variables because I keep getting an undefined statement in my variable x.
Some insight would be appreciated.

How To Pass Variables From Movie To Movie
I am trying to pass a variable from Movie 1 to Movie 2.
Movie 1 is on the main timeline.
Movie 2 is a popup scroller window (swf file) that loads an external textfile.
I am trying to get the button actions in Movie 1 to tell Movie 2 which external text file to load.
Button on Movie 1
on (release) {
loadMovieNum ("popup.swf", 1);
}
--------------
Here is what loads the text file into Movie 2. It brings the contents of the entire textfile in as a variable. How can "scrolltext.txt" be replaced with a variable name so it will be dynamic, based on the button actions in Movie 1?
loadVariables ("scrolltext.txt", "");
Any help would be appreciated!
Pass PHP Variables To Flash
I am trying to create a flash site that will allow users to upload an image to database. I am using PHP script to upload the image through an HTML popup window. Once the image is uploaded (after 'submit' has been clicked), how can I pass the 'imgID' variable back to Flash?
I know variables can be passed back to Flash through PHP by simply using the 'echo' function, but I can't seem to get it to work in this case (maybe b/c I am launching my php script through the 'getURL' instead of 'loadVariables'???).
Flash code:
Code:
on (release) {
//launch upload window
getURL("javascript:openNewWindow('upload.php', 'myWindow', 'height=200,width=500,toolbar=no,scrollbar=no,menubar=no,location=no,resizable=yes,status=no'); NewWindow.focus(); void(0);");
}
PHP Code:
PHP Code:
<?php

$db="";
$table ="image";
// database connection
$conn = mysql_connect($host, $user, $pass) OR DIE (mysql_error());
@mysql_select_db ($db, $conn) OR DIE (mysql_error());
#ON SUBMIT
// Do this process if user has browse the

H E L P P L E A S E ASP And FLASH Pass Variables
Hope somone can assist here, I have an ASP page with 3 variables it gets from an excel spreadsheet (unusual but it works ok) I want to display the variables in 3 text areas in Flash 8
getdata.asp is my web page, variables are
STR_name
STR_add2
STR_postcode
its as simple as that, the ASP page works fine so I guess I need to run it in the background to produce the variables?
I have read many tutorials arround this but cant quite grasp it
I need to know what actionscript to run under what frame, I dont need to scroll through the records as the web page will only bring back 1 set of variables because the data is non conflicting
Thanks in advance
many thanks

Does ANYONE Know How To Pass Url Variables To Flash AS3
Hi,
I've done a ton of internet searching and can't find but snippets and vague, non-working tutorials on this.
How do I read url variables in Flash CS3 (AS3)?? What commands? Syntax? I tried the following:
var obj:Object=LoaderInfo(root.loaderInfo).parameters;
var try_txt:TextField = new TextField();
addChild(try_txt);
for (val in obj)
{
id=String(obj[val]);
try_txt.text += id;
trace(try_txt.text);
}
it's always blank. My url is of the form
www.mysite.com?x=77
Then I change the object and embed parameters in the swf loder:
<param name="movie" value="loadURLParams.swf?x=77" /> //x will be populated w/ php
and do the same for the embed.
NOTHING. How do I do this??
Thanks!

FlashVars: Here Is A Way To Pass Variables To Flash Via AS3
I have been doing a lot of searching and speaking to a lot of people about a way to pass the current URL to flash so that I can make a simple button go to the down position based upon what page the person is on. WOW, what a pain... lol
Well, A pain no more. Here is a list of everything I have found. Hopefully it will help someone out there.
First, you can use FlashVars in order to talk to Flash.
You can use Flash Vars by simply either adding parameters to the movie parameter in the HTML for flash as such
<param name="movie" value="main.swf?one=1&two=2" />
<embed src="main.swf?one=1&two=2"
Code:
<!-- using query string -->
<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000"
codebase="http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,0,0"
width="550"
height="400"
align="middle"
id="main">
<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" />
<param name="movie" value="main.swf?one=1&two=2" />
<param name="quality" value="high" />
<param name="bgcolor" value="#ffffff" />
<embed src="main.swf?one=1&two=2"
width="550"
height="400"
autostart="false"
quality="high"
bgcolor="#ffffff"
name="main"
align="middle"
allowScriptAccess="sameDomain"
type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" />
</object>
OR
creating an additional parameter name called FlashVars such as:
<param name="FlashVars" value="one=1&two=2" />
FlashVars="one=1&two=2" (for the embed statement)
Code:
<!-- using FlashVars -->
<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000"
codebase="http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,0,0"
width="550"
height="400"
align="middle"
id="main">
<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" />
<param name="movie" value="main.swf" />
<param name="quality" value="high" />
<param name="bgcolor" value="#ffffff" />
<param name="FlashVars" value="one=1&two=2" />
<embed src="main.swf"
width="550"
height="400"
autostart="false"
quality="high"
bgcolor="#ffffff"
FlashVars="one=1&two=2"
name="main"
align="middle"
allowScriptAccess="sameDomain"
type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" />
</object>
Okay, that was the easy part.
The next thing you have to be able to do is retrieve this information that you have just passed in
This was not so easy to find. Even when you do find it tutorials that explain it, they are not correct and they end up not working.
You have to change a few items in order to get this to work.
1. You have to add the following parameter to the AC_FL_RunContent Javascript on the HTML page generated by Flash: 'FlashVars', 'YourFlashVarParameterHere'
Such As:
Code:
<script language="javascript">
if (AC_FL_RunContent == 0) {
alert("This page requires AC_RunActiveContent.js.");
} else {
AC_FL_RunContent(
'codebase', 'http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,0,0',
'width', '550',
'height', '400',
'src', 'flashvars',
'quality', 'high',
'pluginspage', 'http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer',
'align', 'middle',
'play', 'true',
'loop', 'true',
'scale', 'showall',
'wmode', 'window',
'devicefont', 'false',
'id', 'flashvars',
'bgcolor', '#ffffff',
'name', 'flashvars',
'menu', 'true',
'allowFullScreen', 'false',
'allowScriptAccess','sameDomain',
'movie', 'flashvars',
'FlashVars', 'flashvars',
'salign', ''
); //end AC code
}
</script>
2. For testing, enter the following actionscript into your Actions Layer on your main timeline.
Code:
// Reading the FlashVars from the page
var tf:TextField = new TextField();
tf.autoSize = TextFieldAutoSize.LEFT;
tf.border = false;
addChild(tf);
tf.appendText("params" + "
");
try {
var keyStr:String;
var valueStr:String;
var paramObj:Object = LoaderInfo(this.root.loaderInfo).parameters;
for (keyStr in paramObj) {
valueStr = String(paramObj[keyStr]);
tf.appendText(" " + keyStr + " " + valueStr + "
");
}
} catch (error:Error) {
tf.appendText("error");
}
The above code creates a textbox dynamically and outputs the flash variable to that text field.
The following code is what I believe to be the actual item that collects the variable.
Code:
var paramObj:Object = LoaderInfo(this.root.loaderInfo).parameters;
I hope this helps someone here like many people here have helped me.

How Do I Pass Hidden Variables From Php To Flash
I am trying to make a flash file open a specific xml file from a URL that is set in the php file. when a the page is loaded, the php file is called for the variable. you must use a query line in the URL....example : http://www.mysite.com/test.swf?folder=myfolder
the php file should see the 'folder' variable and use it in the url that i want to load the xml file from. Once the variable is set in the php file, i want to transfer it to the swf file without having to change the url that the user types.
Here is basically what i want to do....
i want to be able to type in www.mysite.com/test.swf?folder=MyFolder in the browser. the php file will check some stuff in the mysql database and make sure that the user's space is not used up.....i can do that part with the space. If the user's space is not used up, it will post a variable to the swf file to load the xml file with the 'folder' variable in the url.. example : .....com/TheFolderVariable/thexmlfile.xml Once the variable is passed to the swf file, it will load properly.
I was trying to use the loadVars() and the loadVariable() commands but i cannot get the php file to post back to the swf.
Trying To Pass Variables TO Flash Then Back Into Php
First of all, I am a complete Flash n00b. I'm making a website right now and I've been trying to learn it 'on-the-go' with no avail. After 2-3 weeks of reading tutorials, reading up and researching I'm at the end of my wits. What I am trying to do:

Display the name when the game is finished and once the submit button is pressed, I want to pass on the score, gameid, and userid into another PHP script which contains the sql code.
The script that I'm trying to edit: http://www.strille.net/tutorials/sna...hHighscore.zip
I read over countless LoadVars tutorials and did a lot of examples but I still cannot integrate into the script.
If someone would be able to help me out, I'd be GREATLY appreciated!

Best Way To Pass Variables To Flash Media Server?
Hello all!
I'm new to the forum, so please excuse any blunders I make!
I'm trying to learn the best/simplest/easiest way to pass a variable from flash to a flash media server. The transfer will be triggered by a button press, sending the info to my FMS which will respond accordingly.
The real question is, is it better to send the info from the swf or to call on it from the FMS?
Thanks in advance to anyone who answers!
Pass Variables Into Flash Via Query String
I used to do this all the time to pass in simple values to Flash but with Flash 8 it doesn't seem to be working properly. I've stripped it down to it's most basic and it still doesn't seem to be working. I've got a test page here:
http://icglink.com/flashtest/
The top set uses the standard object/embed method, the left one passing in a 0, the right passing in a 1. Both use the variable named previousvisitor.
The bottom set use the same variable and value structure, but with the swfobject javascript call instead of the object/embed method.
I've got a case statement on the 5th frame that tests the incoming variable and directs the playhead to one frame label or another. The idea is that if someone has come to the site for the first time, they'll get to see a video. If not, they'll get a still frame with a "play video" button.
I'm also including a link to the FLA (version 8 remember).

So does anyone have ANY idea why this isn't working correctly? I really need to get this working and it should be dead simple.
Pass Variables To Flash Through Embed Object Param
Hello!
I was wondering if you can pass variables to flash this way:
<object>
...
<param name = "pageid" value="10">
...
</object>
instead of passing them as part of the embed src property:
<object>
...
<embed src ="myflash.swf?pageid=10"></embed>
</object>
Thanks.

Flash Menu 4 HTML Pages - Pass Variables On Page Refresh
So the subject is a hint as to how hard it is to search on this simple idea.
Will be very greatful for some help today!
PROBLEM DETAILS:
I am building a swf menu for an HTML site. It has the following buttons:
SectionA
SectionB
SectionC
What I want to do is modify the text when the HTML page for the correspoding section is loaded. So, if I click on "SectionB", SectionB.html loads. Now I want that button "SectionB" in the swf to have a background glow.
Of course the catch is, that each time a new HTML page loads, it reloads the swf menu (No Frames please!). So, naturally I know I can just tell the swf menu to go to a certain place in the timeline where there is the glow graphic behind "SectionB". But the swf needs a variable saying it is on a Section B HTML page. (of course I could build a seperate swf for each section - but that seems stupid.)
THUS....
MY QUESTION:
How do I pass a variable from a swf on one HTML page (that is being replaced by a new HTML page!), to a swf on a new HTML page.
Can I do this with a GET/POST or something?
Thanks!

Pass To An IFrame From A Flash Movie
Does anyone know if I can pass a command to an iframe from a Flash movie ?. Here is my situation outlined more clearly:
I have 3 html pages:
master.html (contains flashnav.swf, some tables, cells and an iframe called name="ima_iframe")
content1.html
content2.html
I have 1 flash movie:
flashnav.swf
master.html contains flashnav.swf and also the iframe. When master.html loads, content1.html appears in the iframe.
So I have a button in the flash piece that when clicked, should load content2.html into the iframe replacing content1.html
Is this possible ?.
Thanks for any help,
Stephen.

Pass Variables From One Swf To A Second Swf?
Help! I have two movies and I want the first to pass a variable to the second movie.
loadMovieNum("second_movie.swf", 0, "POST") just doesn't seem to do it. My second movie plays but does not receive the variable.
I have tried loading the second movie into a new level rather than replaceing the first but that doesn't work either.
GET also will not work.
I'm trying to do this locally so I can run the swfs from a CD.
