Best way to pass vars from html into flash?

I've read a variety of pages that describe how to pass a variable into a flash movie (AS3, player = v9) from the html in which it is embedded.  This page describes AS3 but neglects to mention what to do with the object and embed tags in the noscript section. Furthermore, I'm not sure the javascript I see generated in my page looks like the example there (the js in my page doesn't check AC_FL_RunContenta against zero).  This page is quite long and appears to deal mostly with AS1 and AS2 approaches which I have used before and neglects entirely the newish javascript approach which appears to be used to embed flash these days (i.e., the javascript function AC_FL_RunContent).
I was wondering if someone could spell out the proper way to pass in a variable from HTML so that flash can see it in such a way that works even if javascript is disabled, in all browsers, etc., etc.
I've attached the HTML generated by the Flash IDE to this topic.  Any help would be much appreciated.

You'll have to search for that concise and thorough list of steps or figure it out using the information you now have, which is sufficient to get it done.  It's not that hard--add the FlashVars in the embedding code in the three places and use the various examples you have links to to add the code in the Flash file to access and use the FlashVars.
Your Flash will be embedded in a web page depending on the visitors settings... if they allow javascript then the javascript portion will be used.  If they don't, then either the object or embed sections will be used depending on their browser.
As far as javascript changes go, don't sweat 'em until you have a problem... use whatever code your Flash-created html page creates to embed the file in the page.

  • Passing variable from php into flash, help please

    Here are what I'm having:
    <?PHP
    $testVal = "This is a test";
    $test = urlencode($testVal);
    $out = "test=". $testVal;
    echo $out;
    ?>
    // and this is my flash file
    function getData() {
    // Prepare request
    var urlReq:URLRequest=new URLRequest("http://localhost/test.php");
    urlReq.method=URLRequestMethod.GET;
    var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
    loader.dataFormat=URLLoaderDataFormat.VARIABLES;
    loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, completeHandler);
    loader.load(urlReq);
    function completeHandler(evt:Event) {
    var vars:URLVariables = URLVariables(evt.target.data);
    trace(" TEST = ", vars.test);
    trace(" TEST = ", unescape(vars.toString()));
    // and below is the ouput
    TEST = undefined
    TEST = test=This is a test
    I've tried with several different ways to get ONLY the value of the variable - that means I only want to have "This is a test" returned, but I either got "undefined" or the whole thing "test=This is a test", instead.
    I'm new to Flash and PHP. Please help.
    Thanks

    There's no need to write any fake variables out, Flash does not need that. OK, here's a simple PHP script like yours - I called it test.php
    <?PHP
         $testVal = "This is a test";
         $out = "test=". $testVal;
         echo $out;
    ?>
    And the AS to call it:
    var myLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
    myLoader.dataFormat = URLLoaderDataFormat.VARIABLES;
    myLoader.load(new URLRequest("http://www.mydomain.com/test.php"));
    myLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, dataLoaded, false, 0, true);
    function dataLoaded(e:Event){  
        trace( e.target.data.test);
    You will see 'This is a test' traced to the output window.

  • What is the best way to import pictures from Lightroom 5 into FCP X

    What is the  best way to transfer pictures from Lightroom 5 into Final Cut Pro X?

    There is no one best way.  If, for instance, you want to be able to zoom into the picture with a Ken Burns effect then you may want to save out a very high res version that will be larger than your video resolution. Just use Lightroom to export a jpg file wherever you want it. You could export it into the Events folder and then choose not to copy it when you import it within FCPx. You could import the picture into iPhoto and then access it directly from within FCPx. Those are two simple, "regular" ways to get it into FCPx but if you are not going to Ken Burns the image by zooming into it and such you will want to crop it in Lightroom to the same size you will be using ie if you are making 720HD video then crop the image to that size and proportion before you export it from Lightroom.

  • Pass properties from clickHandler into a TitleWindow that uses the popUpManager

    If there a way to pass parameters from a clickHandler that loads a titlewindow via the
    popUpManager into the TitleWindow?  To begin with, I'd like to change the title based on the ow!_clickHandler.
    SCRIPT
    // Custom PopUp:ow1 //
    private var popup:ow1PopUp = new ow1PopUp();            //ow1PopUp is a TitleWindow component//
    protected function ow1_clickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void
    PopUpManager.addPopUp(popup,
    this, true);popup.x=110;
    popup.y=110;
    CLICK_HANDLER
    click="ow1_clickHandler(event)"  // I'd like to be able to stuff a variable as an argument here to pass to the TitleWindow's title property. 

    @doug,
    You can pass any number of arguments in your click handler as it is in MXML so you can do something like this...
    click="ow1_clickHandler(event, 'some param')"
    In order to pass this value to the PopUp create one Bindable public variable in your ow1PopUp popup component and bind it to title property of your TitleWindow component as shown below:
    <mx:TitleWindow title="{titleText}">
         [Bindable]public var titleText:String="";
    </mx:TitleWindow>
    protected function ow1_clickHandler(event:MouseEvent, title:String):void
    PopUpManager.addPopUp(popup,this, true);
    popup.x=110;
    popup.y=110;
    popup.titleText = title;

  • What is the best way to get PATHS from one Photoshop psd file to another?

    Hi! New on the site, and I signed up specifically to ask the best way to import one .psd file into another, including the paths on the paths palette.
    Almost all of my Photoshop drawings make heavy use of vector paths, which I then stroke using using PS natural-media brushes and the "stroke paths" function (usually with "simulate pressure" checked.) Also, my .psd files tend to be, um, HUGE... and I typically break up a whole drawing into separate PS files and then assemble all of them into one final finished graphic.
    I have no trouble moving raster stuff from file to file. Just put all the layers I want to transfer into a group and drag the group to the other .psd. Works fine, including layer masks. But I have not found a good way to get vector paths from the Paths palette of one .psd to another. Of course I can select paths and copy them to the Win clipboard, switch to the other .psd, and paste them back in. The drawback to that method is that I lose the correct size relation between the results of previously done "stroke paths" operations (on raster layers) and the paths that generated them. Sometimes the copied-in paths are way too large, sometimes way too small, never Just Right.
    As I'm sure most of you know, if you resize an entire Photoshop document from within PS, any paths it contains are correctly resized along with everything else. That's no longer true after grouped raster layers are dragged over to another document but paths are copied and pasted in. The size connection is lost. (Location placement, too.)
    I WANT those paths! After I bring a piece of a drawing into the full final drawing, what looked good when I was working on it separately often doesn't look right any longer and I want to re-stroke those paths using different brush diameter, opacity, etc., or maybe even a completely different brush.
    I've tried bring outside .psd files in as smart objects with the Place command but either that doesn't work or I'm not doing it right. Using Place, the paths in the Placed document don't come in at all.
    I'll be very grateful for any hints or strategies any of you knowledgeable folks can give me. Thanks very much!

    1. Connect the two macs - firewire, ethernet, sneakernet as suits you - and copy the iPhoto Library Folder from Old Machine to New Machine. Drag it from Home/Pictures to the same location on the new machine.
    2. Because all the files 'belong' to the account on the old machine, you have to update the file permissions: hence Download BatchMod from
    http://macchampion.com/arbysoft/
    And apply it to the iPhoto Library Folder using the settings found here:
    http://homepage.mac.com/toad.hall/.Pictures/Forum/BatChmod.png
    (Credit to Old Toad for this one).
    Note: This must be run on the new machine after copying the files over.
    3. Then launch iPhoto on the new machine.

  • What is the best way to merge a file content into log file

    What is the best way to merge a file content into log file.
    In worst case, I will read the file line by line as string, then use
    logger.info(lineString)to output to log file.
    However, is there better way to do this?
    The eventual log file will be something like:
    log message 1
    log message 2
    content from file line 1
    content from file line 2
    content from file line 3
    log message 3
    log message 4Thanks

    I would like to see better performance. read line by line and log each line as string can be slow. Did you measure this and determine that it is actually a problem for your application? Or are you guessing?
    Regardless of what you do you are still going to need to read the file.

    Yes, I have to do it beacuse the requirement is to have that file content be part of logging.
    Any idea?How is it supposed to be part of it? For example which of the following is better?

                       Second Line XXX
            Log 1

                    2009-03-27 DEBUG: ----- File: AAA -------------
                    First Line
                    Second Line XXX
                    2009-03-27 DEBUG: Random following lineBoth of the above have some advantages and disadvantages.
    The first in a mult-threaded app can end up with intermittent log entries in between lines, so having log lines with thread ids becomes important.
    The first can be created by reading one line at a time and posting one at a time.
    The second can be created by reading the entire file as a single string and then posting using a single log statement.

  • Best way to pass data sets to another program

    Hey
    I want to connect another (maths) program with my java application. Therefore I need to paste data (some kind of tab separated table) to this program.
    I try now to save these data in a separate newly generated file and to pass a command with Java's Runtime.exec() method to this program to read these data. Is this a good idea or might there be better ways?
    If I do so, is there a way in Java to generate some kind of a "temporary" file which will be deleted automatically after usage or is this nothing else than to save it in a common file and delete it afterwards. What's the best way to pass data generally?

    Well, the connection will not be over a network, so I'd rather think it's not a Socket or RMI problem (unless someone convinces me).
    Yes it's very external, it's a C or C++ written program, I don't have any source codes. So far I generated a file for Input command and data, I passed that on to the maths program and returned the output into another file.
    Now I would like to separate the output and like to obtain some tables and graphical things like charts at the output. Do I have to generate three different types of outputfiles? How to store some graphics e.g. some distributions. I thought even of generating a database. I never thought about XML, I don't know if this works for that kind of problem?!

  • Best way to extract data from archived cube

    Hello Experts,
    Can anyone tell me best way to extract data from archived cube.
    Basically I am trying to pull all the data from archived cube and then load it into another brand new infoprovider which is in different box.
    Also I need to extract all the master data for all infoobjects.
    I have two options in my mind:
    1) Use open hub destination
    or
    2) Infoprovider>display data>select the fields and download the data.
    Is it really possible to extract data using option (2) if records are too high and then load it into another infoprovider in new system.
    Please suggest me the pros and cons for the two options.
    Thanks for your time in advance.

    Hello Reddy,
    Thanks a lot for your quick reply.
    Actually in my case I am trying to extract archived infocube data and then load it into new infoprovider which is in different system. If I have connectivity I can simply export data source from archived infocube and then reload into new infoprovider.
    But there is no connectivity between those two systems (where archived cube is and new infoprovider) and so I am left with the two options I mentioned.
    1) Use Open Hub
    or
    2) Extract data manually from infoprovider into excel.
    Can anyone let me know which of the two options is the best and also I doubt on how to use excel in extracting data as excel have limit of no.of records 65536
    Thanks

    Its Distributed data. No. of clients and N no. of Transaction data fetching from the database based on the different conditions and insert into another transaction table which is like batch process.Sounds contradictory.
    If the source data is already in the database, it is centralised.
    In that case you ideally do not want the overhead of shipping that data to a client, the client processing it, and the client shipping the results back to the database to be stored (inserted).
    It is must faster and more scalable for the client to instruct the database (via a stored proc or package) what to do, and that code (running on the database) to process the data.
    For a stored proc, the same principle applies. It is faster for it to instruct the SQL engine what to do (via an INSERT..SELECT statement), then pulling the data from the SQL engine using a cursor fetch loop, and then pushing that data again to the SQL engine using an insert statement.
    An INSERT..SELECT can also be done as a direct path insert. This introduces some limitations, but is faster than a normal insert.
    If the data processing is too complex for an INSERT..SELECT, then pulling the data into PL/SQL, processing it there, and pushing it back into the database is the next best option. This should be done using bulk processing though in order to optimise the data transfer process between the PL/SQL and SQL engines.
    Other performance considerations are the constraints on the insert table, the triggers, the indexes and so on. Make sure that data integrity is guaranteed (e.g. via PKs and FKs), and optimal (e.g. FKs should be indexes on the referenced table). Using triggers - well, that may not be the best approach (like for exampling using a trigger to assign a sequence value when it can be faster done in the insert SQL itself). Personally, I avoid using triggers - I rather have that code residing in a PL/SQL API for manipulating data in that table.
    The type of table also plays a role. Make sure that the decision about the table structure, hashed, indexed, partitioned, etc, is the optimal one for the data structure that is to reside in that table.
