Pass a variable from an XML to a Javascrip

Aloha Everyone,
What do I make wrong?
Maybe it is just a sintax failure and maybe... . How can I
pass a value to a javascript witch is loads a php code to generate
the text on the button witch is the src of an <img> tag. The
value of @id doesn't reaches the PHP file and the problem is in
spry:region="dsmenus" is a special definition needed to pass the
variables in such a region to a javacript, if so then how to do it
if not than also please help if any of you can!
Here is the code:
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;
UTF-8">
<script src="xpath.js"
type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="SpryData.js"
type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
var dsmenus = new Spry.Data.XMLDataSet("menus.xml",
"menuelements/menuelement");
</script>
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
var textid = new string;
function mouseOutImage(textid)
document.getElementById("phbutton").src =
"button2.php?text="+textid;
function mouseOverImage(textid)
document.getElementById("phbutton").src =
"button.php?text="+textid;
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div spry:region="dsmenus"
spry:repeatchildren="dsmenus">
<img id="phbutton" spry:setrow="dsmenus"
src="button2.php?text={@id}&x={x}"
onmouseover="mouseOverImage('{id}');"
onmouseout="mouseOutImage('{id}');"
onmouseenter="mouseOverImage('{id}');"
onmouseleave="mouseOutImage('{id}');">
<a href="button2.php?text={@id}">{@id}</a>
</div>
<div>
<p name=log>
</div>
</body>
</html>
Thank You in advance!

Sorry for spamming i just realized what do i make wrong after
3 hours of programig.
..({id'} has a missing @ mark :)

LoadVars-using send to pass a variable from flash to php

For the life of me, I've tried everything:
I've researched LoadVars on Adobe forum, used David Powers'
books, googled 'flash to php', LoadVars, etc. and tried
sendAndLoad, send, and using $_POST, $_GET, $_REQUEST.
$HTTP_POSTVARS but I keep getting this same error. any advice
please?
I have a Unix server running Apache/PHP 4 - LoadVars worked
to load name-value pairs into an array -see thread)
My goal with this simple app is to prototype being able to
pass a variable from flash to a variable in php.
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in
flash_to_SQL.php on line 5
Actionscript 2.0 code:
var c :LoadVars = new LoadVars();
c.testing = "123FOUR";
c.send ("

php code: (I also tried $_POST, $_GET, $_REQUEST.
$HTTP_POSTVARS)
<?php

How to pass a variable from one class to another class?

Hi,
Is it possible to pass a variable from one class to another? For e.g., I need the value of int a for calculation purpose in method doB() but I get an error <identifier> expected. What does the error mean? I know, it's a very, very simple question but once I learn this, I promise to remember it forever. Thank you.
class A {
int a;
int doA() {
      a = a + 1;
      return a;
class B {
int b;
A r = new A();
r.a; // error: <identifier> expected. What does that mean ?
int doB() {
     int c = b/a; // error: operator / cannot be applied to a
}Thank you!

I am wondering why does (r.a) give an error outside the method? What's the reason it only works when used inside the (b/r.a) maths function? This is illegal syntax:
class B {
int b;
A r = new A();
r.a; //syntax error
}Why? Class definition restricts what you can define within a class to a few things:
class X {
    Y y = new Y(); //defining a field -- okay
    public X() { //defining a constructor -- okay
    void f() { //defining a method -- okay
}... and a few other things, but you can't just write "r.a" there. It also makes no sense -- that expression by itself just accesses a field and does nothing with it -- why bother?
This is also illegal syntax:
int doB() {
      A r = new A();
      r.a; // error: not a statement
}Again, all "r.a" does on its own is access a field and do nothing with it -- a "noop". Since it has no effect, writing this indicates confusion on the part of the coder, so it classified as a syntax error. There is no reason to write that.

Is it possible to pass a variable from one animation to another?

I have multiple animations on the same page. I need to pass a variable from one to the other.
Animation One has this:
sym.setVariable("myVarOne", 1);
Animation Two has this:
var myVarOneInTwo=Edge.getComposition("EDGE-12345678").getVariable("myVarOne");
Seems like it should work, but kinda hard to tell. I put in:
console.log("myVarOneInTwo = " + myVarOneInTwo);
But I get: Javascript error in event handler! Event Type = timeline
So it seems that it doesn't like getting a variable from another animation.
Is there a way to pull a variable from one animation into another?

Sorry also had to fix this:
var myVarOneInTwo=Edge.getComposition("EDGE-12345678").getVariable("myVar One");
To this:
var myVarOneInTwo=Edge.getComposition("EDGE-12345678").getStage().getVariable("myVar One");

Passing a variable from a movie clip to the main timeline

Hi,
I'm having trouble passing a variable from a movie clip in my
flash file to the main timeline.
I have a movieclip with the instance name IntroNav which
contains several buttons. Clicking a button sets the variable
"page" to a specific name, i.e. page = "home"
However, outside of the movie clip, on the main timeline I am
unable to call this variable, and "page" seems to have no value.
Can anyone tell me why this is and how to solve it?
Thanks

Umm, yes ... declare your variables correctly.
var page:String = new String(); //proper complete
var page:String; //strict typing
var page:String = "home"; //stirct typing with value
declaration
Do not declare the variable in your buttons, you would have
to do so in every button and be constantly resetting the value.
Declare it on the main timeline at the lowest level. You do not
need to use it as a _global, you just need to resolve your path
issues. You can 'set' the variable value from a button, without any
problem, but you have to call to the variable correctly.
You do not 'name' a variable as "_root.page" , the '_root'
refers to the lowest level of the SWF or the main timeline, as does
a call to ' _level0' (that's a zero). If the variable is declared
on the main timeline, and you're calling from the MC/button or
anywhere you can refer to the variable by calling to it by
the proper path of '_root.page'
To set the variable from any of your button/MC instances
call:
_root.page = "value"; OR _level0.page = "value";
But you must have the varibale declared on the main timeline,
and only once and the playhead should be stopped or it will reset
the value to the default upon looping.

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"

<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">

</script>
</head>
<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.

Is it possible to pass a variable from a shell script back to an Automator action?

Is it possible to pass a variable from a shell script back to an Automator action?
For instance, if I assign a value of foo to $var1 in my shell script how would I retrieve/pass that value in the next Automator action. I see that there is a variable called "Shell Script" but I can't any information on how to use it.

red_menace,
Thanks but I still don't understand how to pass a single value that was set in the UNIX scipt back to Automator has a variable. Take the example below, I write 4 varables to STDOUT and all 4 are stored in a variable named "storage". How do I assign 1 of these values to the Automator "storage" variable? For instance if I wanted to assign the value of $var2 to "storage" , how would I do that?

Passing a variable from Captivate 5 to Flash CS5/ActionScript 3

I don't get it. Why is it so difficult to pass a variable from Captivate 5 to AS3/Flash CS5. I must be making it harder than it really is. I cannot figure it out. Can anyone help?
I have a variable (gpDone = 1) defined in Captivate 5 (it's a guided practice) on the last frame which will indicate that the learner has completed the guided practice file.
Now I want to pass that variable back to Flash/AS3 so I can evaluate whether I should show the Continue button so they can continue. They have to complete the guided practice before they can continue. If it is equal to 1, the Continue button will display. If it is not equal to 1, the Continue button will not display, but a message will display telling them they have to complete the guided practice in order to continue in the course.
Do I need to edit the Flash html? Or just put code in the Flash timeline or the associated AS file?
Help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
CAH

Having the same problem...getting variable values FROM captivate to my inserted .swf (not widgets).
I can set the value from the .swf to the captivate using Object(parent.parent.parent.parent).captivateVariable but not the other way around.
Very frustrating.
I hope someone answers your query.

How do I pass a variable from edge animate to an external JS?

I need to pass a variable value from Edge Animate to an external JS file. How can I do it?

Not sure if this is the best way ,but works
Set the variable as a property of a global variable
Like
SET
window.myVar = 'your value';
AdobeEdge.myVar = 'your value';
Read
window.myVar
AdobeEdge.myVar

How to pass a variable from one scene to another

I'm making a call from one scene to another via a button, but I have two buttons calling the same scene, each for a different purpose, and I need to pass certain variables tied to each button to that called scene. How can I do this?

import flash.events.MouseEvent;
stop();
var nam:String="test";
testscene2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,fn);
function fn(e:MouseEvent){
    nam="Raja";
    gotoAndStop(1,"Scene 3");
testscene1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,fn1);
function fn1(e:MouseEvent){
    nam="Emily";
    gotoAndStop(1,"Scene 2");

How to load a variable from an XML file?

I need to use an XML file so I can update one variable every
once in a while.
Let's say I want to load Variable "foofie" into a flash
movie, and the XML says that "foofie" is 11.
What code do I put in my flash file to read what 'var foofie'
is from an XML, and what do I put in the XML so I can frequently
update what number is stored in 'foofie'
Thanks!

look up XML.load(url) in flash help, it's fairly simple
in the xml you put, for example
<foofie>11</foofie>
if foofie is in a database or some other dynamic place,
(which I assume, since you want to frequently update to its value)
you need to write a script, in php for example, that returns the
desired xml data

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....
http://mikethenderson.com/2009/02/as3-return-query-string-value-version-2/#more-105
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;
