Flash (Coding) Problems

This thread is on behalf of someone else!

Hi,

I have a flash document that needs to dynamically load an XML file. At the moment, it loads it like:

var myShowXML = new XML();
myShowXML.ignoreWhite = true;
myShowXML.load("feed.xml");

Could anyone please tell me a way to convert that to reading from the HTML (param etc) for the XML feed. The URL of the feed will be input to HTML via PHP, but I just do not know how to get the variable from HTML to flash.

If someone could post the above actionscript modified for flashvars, and the HTML, that would be great

Thanks!

That isn't HTML, it is XML.

It will be input to HTML via PHP.. what the **** are you talking about?

You are meaning to say the XML feed is dynamic, and processed by PHP.

I am fully aware of what I am talking about, you must have mis-read my post =]

PHP will not manipulate the XML feed itself. PHP will simply use $_GET[''] to get the number of the XML file.

For example, the page URL is:

page.php?x=4

The XML file would then be 4.xml and the 4.xml would be put into a flashvar within a param tag, and then passed to flash to load that file.

I am stuck with passing the variable from HTML to flash.

Why can't you use Google?

I am fully capable of using google and obviously, I used google before coming here. The HTML bit isn't the problem to be honest, the problem is retrieving that variable inside flash via actionscript.

I wasn't able to find the actionscript bit on google, just the HTML.

Even the adobe site is no use: http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/view...6417&sliceId=2

Are you ******* stupid? 'The HTML bit isn't the..' the HMTL bit is easy as ****.

Are you doing bla.swf?param=param or <param></param>

If you are capable of using Google, you would have found it by now.. I have found like 20 articlecs telling how to do it.

Found out now. It appears the variables are avaliable via level0.

If I were you, I would sort out your attitude, it won't get you very far in life.


Matter resolved.

My attitude is perfect, it is just people like you.

We don't need the "Reply from person:", we know who the hell you are..

[DarrenToogood]

Denta, it is not me who wanted to ask this question, I was doing it on behalf of a freind called Matt

Problem resolved, and the website is near release.

[Dentafrice]

No one asked about the website near release.. not a single person, no one asked who asked the question.. no one at all.

We don't care.
