[Flashcoders] FlashVars - place data in a variable
I was so sure I had it but it looks like I have to accept defeat on this. I can
trace the variable from everywhere in, out and around the code. If hard coded
the db call works but it simply will not accept the variable. I'm so very
disappointed but enough is enough. It just doesn't work. Period.
Thanks for all your help.

Hi Mack,
The variable should still be holding the value. When you trace keyStr
right before you do your call, does it come back null?

[Flashcoders] FlashVars - place data in a variable
Hi Bob,
Thanks for looking at my code. I really appreciate it! Below are the two
scenarios that result in printing the string to the stage via a text field.
//Version 1
var keyStr:String;
keyStr = stage.loaderInfo.parameters.itemID;
texty.text = keyStr;
addChild(texty);
//Version 2
var keyStr:String;
var paramObj:Object = stage.loaderInfo.parameters;
var path_course:String;
for (keyStr in paramObj)
{
keyStr = String(paramObj[keyStr]);
texty.text = keyStr;
}
If I reference keyStr outsided of text field, there is no response.
Example:
gw.connect("http://www.mysite.com/amfphp/gateway.php";);
gw.call("load_data.my_data", res, keyStr);

This works just fine for me, I have an entire list of flashVars I have
to access and set to variables to run an application. I wouldn't be
able to loop them and know what I was accessing since they are all
just string values. What you may want to do is trace the keyStr in
your loop as well to see what is being looped:
for (keyStr in paramObj){
trace(keyStr+ " : "+paramObj[keyStr])
}
Still, you should be able to get to the loader info object and
directly grab the flash var you want w/o looping through to get
values.

[Flashcoders] FlashVars - place data in a variable
Hi Bob,
Thanks for the code. Unfortunately the code you gave me didn't work for my
AS3/CS3 file. However I can trace out the data via for loop or through
stage.loaderInfo.parameters directly. But the only thing I can do with the
data is print it out. (If I use the for loop I have the print is out inside the
loop). This is really frustrating! I don't need to print it out, I need to use
it as a variable in a database query and it just won't go in!
Were you able to use your variable data in this way?

So you are trying access strValue after your loop? It may be a scope
issue, try casting the var before the loop and trace after the loop.
Also, you may want to access your flash var one by one to help debug:
//quick example
var strValue:String = LoaderInfo(this.root.loaderInfo).parameters.strValue
trace(strValue)

[Flashcoders] FlashVars - place data in a variable
Hi everyone,
I have added a text string to my swf using FlashVars. I can output the import
text string to a text field just fine. However when I try to put it into a
variable that is used for criteria to contact a database, it doesn't work. The
text string is loading into the swf, the database query works when the text
string is hard coded in and the text string can be displayed on the stage via a
text field.
How do I place the imported text string into a variable? I am overlooking
something simple no doubt, but that simple item is eluding me.
Example:
//loads into a text field but won't stay in a variable
keyStr = stage.loaderInfo.parameters.itemID;
//loads into a text field but won't stay in a variable
var paramObj:Object = stage.loaderInfo.parameters;
for (keyStr in paramObj)
{
strValue = String(paramObj[keyStr]);
myText.text = strValue;
}
I also tried putting it into a Global variable but no success
All feedback is welcome!

I should have mentioned that I am also using a SSL certificate to encrypt traffic to and from the site.

Good day all, To test my Flash site, I downloaded the free version of Sothink SWF Decompiler and was surprised at how much it was able to obtain from my swf - even the AS files in a protected folder on the server! Impressive in its own way... I have used amfphp to import text from a mysql database. This text did not appear in the decompiler.
