Need help sending variables from HTML to SWF...

I have a header with tab buttons--- When you are on a certain
page the coorisponding tab is a different color(as a locator).
Right now I have like, 7 or 8 different headers that are the
same thing minus the colored tab of the current page.
Is there a way to code the flash so that I only need one
header, but still keep the off-colored buttons when on the
coorisponding page?
Apparently, from what I have gathered I need to Send a
variable to the SWF from the embedding HTML using FlashVars or
SWFObjects' 'addVariable' method etc so the SWF knows which
tab/color to use.
But, I have no ideal where to start...uugggggg.
Any Suggestions????
I really, really need to figure this out.
Thanks in advance,
hutch

the easiest way to pass vars to the flash is by appending
them to the url of the flash:
e.g your swiff is called "mymovie.swf" and you want a
parameter "color" to be available on the _root level of your movie,
so all you have to do is embed the flash with the following url
into your html page:
"mymovie.swf?color=black"
now back in flash you can get the value of "color" like this:
in _root timeline:
color
in any other timeline:
_root.color
the value will be filled once the movie is called from within
the HTML as explained above

HT3228 Need help sending email from iPhone 5S

Have a new iPhone 5S and can receive email but every email I try to send is copied to the outbox and message says the recipient was rejected by the server. How do I fix that?

You can't use iCloud to do that. Any photos in iCloud must also be on your phone. If you delete them from your phone, they will also be deleted from iCloud and they will be lost. You might want to try updating your phone using iTunes on your computer (as explained at the bottom of this article: Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch iOS software). It requires much less space than updating over the air.

Send data from html to flash action script

Hi,
I would like my flash to act differently depending on what
html page it is on. Can I send information from html code to action
script?

Hi,
Yes you can, by using FLASHVARS. Refer the attached code for
example. Also you can use Javascript setVariable method of Flash
object to set values in between i.e. after the page has loaded, as
in case of FLASHVARS these are sent to flash just at the begining
i.e. once SWF loads. In the attached exmple i've sent 2 variables
to Flash one is 'username' and other is 'userId', thse will be
fetched inside flash movie as _root.username and _root.userId.
Note: I've added flashvars as PARAM and also as an attribute
for EMBED tag (used by Mozilla, NS etc)
Hope this helps.
Thanks,
Sumeet

Before trying to remove try re-installing CS3 right on top of the current install. Often re-installing Photoshop on top of itself fixes the install. If it does be sure to apply the cs3 updates.

TS1389 I need help removing UAC from itunes..

I need help removing UAC from itunes so it will not allow me to open itunes. Everything I have read from other comments that you shouldn't turn off your user account control. I just to be able to open itunes. Can anyone help me with this problem?? Greg, ogrady612@yahoo,com

I had this problem too but you do not need UAC to be turned on.
Click on start and search for 'uac' in the search box at the bottom and click on 'Change User Account Control Settings' when it comes up. Move the slider to the bottom when the window appears and save the changes and your done!
It's worked for me and my uac has been off for months without causing me any problems!
Hope this helped

Need help coping project from one computer to another.

I need help coping project from one computer to another. I loaded all video on computer 1, copied events and project folder to computer 2. I was told I only needed to copy the project folder back to computer 1 since the events folder is already there. I copied project folder back to computer 1 but the files wont open. I dont have computer 2 available.
Please help!!!

Hi
No that's not the way to do it - iMovie gets confused and in some cases the problems might be un-repairable.
You've got several problems
• iMovie'08 - CAN NOT MOVE PROJCTS - You NEED iMovie'09 or iMovie'11 - I see no other working solution
• Never MOVE or alter any folder named
iMovie Projects - or -
iMovie Events
on DeskTop/Finder - This might be very harmful
• Moving (Projects) and Events - HAS TO be done within the iMovie Application.
You've got an Evets window and here You can view Your Events in two ways - Yearly - or - Yearly per Hard disk
Here You can move within this "window" to another location
• Projects - NO they do not contain Your full movie - only a document on howto use the material in Event folder
and there might be worse if You added Photos from iPhoto and Audio from iTunes/Garageband - then You have
to get this over to the second Mac too, to be able to continue editing.
So to move Your projects to another Mac You need
• iMovie'09 or 11
• an external hard disk -
MUST BE Mac OS Extended formatted - as UNIX/DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange will not work for VIDEO
Should be a FireWire one - as UBS/UBS2 performs badly when used for video
• Then move/copy over within Project resp Events window in iMovie Application
Hopefully I've been not to confusing or badly structured to be followed.
Yours Bengt W

Help!! Which java jar do I need to send SMS from PC to movil

I would like to know what do I need to be able to send SMS from my Pc
Is there a jar to do so.
I would realy appreciate if someone gives me a clue about sending SMS.
My e-mail is: [email protected]
Thank you very much

Do you have the hardware in place to interface and talk directly with the communication systems of the telecom companies?
I seriously doubt it. So, all you can do is send email messages to their email address assigned to their mobile phone, provided the carrier offers that. Most ofen the form is <phonenumber>@<mobile.carrier.isp>

Set Variables from HTML

Here is the set up, I have a video player embedded in an html
file. The player will play a lead in video for branding purposes IF
the user has not viewed this lead in video yet. ELSE it wil play
the video they specified and then continue to play the rest of the
videos in a que.
Everything is fine except, the current video is dependant on
the HTML page the view is at and I would rather just have 1 swf
file rather than 1 swf file for every video.
So my question is, how can i get the HTML page to tell the
swf file which file to load after the lead in file. I essentially
need to send this parameter from the HTML file to the swf file -
How do I do that??
Thanks!

Using FlashVars is just appending the variable to the SWF's
url. So, in your embed script, where ever you have the path to your
SWF, like, mymovie.swf, you just append whatever variable you need
to that. So, lets say you want to pass in a name, you would use
mymovie.swf?name=dzedward
Then, in flash retrieve it like so:
root.loaderInfo.parameters.name;
Lets say you want to pass in first and last name:
mymovie.swf?firstName=Damon&lastName=Edwards
retrieve it like so:
root.loaderInfo.parameters.firstName;
root.loaderInfo.parameters.lastName;
Now, if you're using SWFObject to embed your SWF, its as
simple as:
so.addVariable("name", "dzedward");
retrieving it the same way as above.

How to pass a variable from HTML to Flash

I have built my flash ad banner in Flash 9 and now want the
HTML code to pass the url over to the flash movie that it should
jump to when clicked.
The info in the help file seems out of date for the latest
HTML template as it uses mainly JavaScript to get round IE's
dreadful embeding issue. So my problem is, how do I pass a variable
from the HTML to the actionScript specified int he Help file
(running on a full screen button) as shown below?
myButton_btn.onRelease = function() {
if (clickTAG.substr(0, 5) == "http:") {
getURL(clickTAG);
via the html code now used by Flash 9 which is like this:

<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;
charset=iso-8859-1" />
<title>Advert_long</title>
<script language="javascript"> AC_FL_RunContent = 0;
</script>
<script language="javascript"> DetectFlashVer = 0;
</script>
<script src="AC_RunActiveContent.js"
language="javascript"></script>
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">

<body bgcolor="#ffffff">

You should use SWFObject to embed your Flash. Not only does
it make
embedding more straightforward, it makes passing query
parameters very easy.

Passing dynamic variable from html to Flash

I know this is pretty simple but all that I have read doesn't make much sense to me. I have one swf calling another swf that I have embedded into an htnl. In other words just calling another html page in a seperate window.
In one.swf (runing in broswer) I use the below to call another html page passing the variable NewLessonArray. This contains an array of completed chapters.
// LOADING URL
var NewLessonCompleteArray:String = LessonCompleteArray.toString();
navigateToURL(new URLRequest("two/index.html?CurrentLessonInfo=<NewLessonCompleteArray>"), "_blank");
In the receiving swf I want to retrieve the passing parameters.
two.swf
// Getting the parameters passed
this.loaderInfo.parameters.toString()
All that is returned that I can see is object Object. But since I am passing on a address line into another swf embedded in a html page I am unable to determine that correct syntac for retrieving the information.
Any suggestions? This has got to be pretty simple... I think.
THANKS

What you are trying to do is not extremely difficult to do, but it is not something I would consider as being simple. With Andrei's approach you should be able to take the url String and dissect the parameters from it using String methods, like split().
As for the loaderInfo end of things, you are not passing the parameters to the swf file, you are passing them to the html page. So the loaderInfo won't have any info for you regarding the url parameters. The loadInfo would typically get parameters via the FlashVars parameters passed in in the html's swf embedding code.
Here are some other solutions that you might consider. I have not dealt with these myself, they are merely in my collection of useful info, so you might have to experiment to get them working. One is a link to a class-based approach and the other is an approach that use swfObject embedding to dynamically add the parameters as FlashVars to the embedding code....

OR
In your HTML:
var flashvars = {};
if (swfobject.getQueryParamValue("aParameter")) {
flashvars.param = swfobject.getQueryParamValue("aParameter");
swfobject.embedSWF("myMovie.swf", "myContent", "550", "400", "9.0.0", "", flashvars);
And the param variable will be available as a FlashVar to your movie:
var theParam = loaderInfo.parameters.param;

Need help sending variables from HTML to SWF...
