How to pass Html emb...to Flash ...please asap

zex · 03-12-2001, 09:23 PM

This is my html code :
<html>
<head>
<title>Flash</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">

</head>

<body bgcolor="#000000">
<table width="600" border="0" height="500" align="center">
<tr>
<td><object classid="clsid

27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8- 444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=4,0,2,0" width="600" height="500">

<param name=movie value="SCFlash.swf?querystr=<? echo $QUERY_STRING; ?>">

<param name="querystr" value="<? echo $QUERY_STRING; ?>">

<param name=quality value=high>

<embed src="SCFlash.swf?querystr=<? echo $QUERY_STRING; ?>" quality=high pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="600" height="500">
</embed>
</object></td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>

How I can pass querystr variable to my Flash so that I can later send it to php script. What code I have to write in Flash to retrieve querystr into Flash and pass it to php script.

Thank you !!!!

to be more clear:
I know this is possible. I just don't know where to begin to get it set up.

I need to load some variables into a swf from a web url. I know I'll have to use cgi or php to append the variables to the url but then how do I get the variables into the SWF?

http://www.someserver.com/index.phtml?querystr=1345pass

Sending those variables into the swf - and from swf to php script how?

Any help would be greatly appreciated-

use loadVariables to send the vars back to the script.

so should I just use querystr in Flash or I have to declare new variable... or I can see it in Flash form html code..

If you're using PHP when you do this:

file.php?variable=value
you get a variable called 'variable' defined in your PHP. So to pass it into the flash file mebeded in that PHP page all you have to do is use the same method of appending it to the embed code.

Find the code that says:

Code:

<EMBED  src="files.swf"

and replace it with

Code:

<EMBED  src="files.swf?variable=<?php echo $variable ?>"

This way if you type the url:

page.php?test=Hello

your embed string will come out like this

file.swf?test=Hello

then Flash (which can read values in from this sort of URL-line pass format) will read the variable 'test' in and set it's value to "Hello"

Cheers

Thank you Jesse for big help...

I just don't understand this part:
"then Flash (which can read values in from this sort of URL-line pass format) will read the variable 'test' in and set it's value to "Hello" "

How Flash reads it? automaticly or I have to declare new variable test in Flash and somehow pass it's value...
Because I want that value later to pass to php script.

Thank you one more time Jesse for helping me out.

Hi quincewyss

If you want pass an ASP variable to flash use this

PHP Code:


			
<param name=movie value="default3.swf?content="&<%=content%>>

don't forget about the two places where the movie file name is called within object tag. it took me 1/2 hour to figure this out. hope to avoid this for future people reading this. thanks guys for the input.
