Passing jsfl variable to actionscript

[vodo]

Hi,

I think I am actually going mad with this! Is there any simple way of passing a variable from a jsfl file into actionscript?

I am basically getting the path of a swf in jsfl that I want to use in the loadMovie variable.

Any ideas?

Cheers

Im not an expert but can you paste some code so ill understand what exactly youre trying?

sure:



var randomMovie = fl.browseForFileURL("select", "Import File");

doc.getTimeline().layers[0].frames[0].actionScript = "loadMovie(randomMovie , randomMovie);"




I want the the randomMovie variable to be passed to the action script. If I use that code now then it just puts this into the actionscript, instead of the url.


loadMovie(randomMovie , randomMovie);


Now after this I find I have another problem. I'm loading the swf in because it has lots of movieclips in that won't work if i just import it. But if I was to use the final swf on a differnt comp or upload it then it won't work because the location would be wrong.

is there any way to load a swf into a fla and then export it with all its movieclips working?

I doubt I am making any sort of sense here.

Are you trying to make it copy code to your clipboard?

I found when creating the string you need to delimite " and \.

the weird part is when you do this you need to do it for the java and the flash string so " looked like \\\" and \n looked like \\n


Also with your code copy it to the clipboard. not everyone will have the same location for ther actions.


Hope this helps.
