swf works on its own, but only flashes when called from html

[jadeg93]

Hi all,

I'm not new to flash, but I haven't done much passing of parameters between flash and php. What I'm trying to do is create a flash file that will load swfs that are randomly chosen from a directory full of swfs. The random choosing is done by a php script.

When I call the swf directly, it functions properly but opens a new window, which I don't want. When I run the html page generated by flash (I'm using v8), the loaded swf is embedded, which is what I want, but it just flashes and leaves me looking at a blank page.

The swf is at

http://www.teryg.net/test/SwfOnly.swf.

The html is at

http://www.teryg.net/test/SwfOnly.html.

The php code is at

http://www.teryg.net/test/image/RandomSwf.php.

The actionscript in the master flash file is:

/* first create a new instance of the LoadVars object */
myVars = new LoadVars();
// call the load method to load my php page
myVars.load("

http://www.teryg.net/test/image/RandomSwf.php");

// once vars have been loaded, we will have these variables:
myVars.swfToLoad // URL of swf
yVars.onLoad = function( success ){
if(success){
trace("variables loaded");
for( var prop in this ) {
loadMovie (this[prop],"photo_clip");
}
} else {
trace("Error loading page");
}
}
stop() ;

I've been messing with this for hours, so I know it must be something obvious . . .

TIA,
JadeG

I would change the script a bit:

/* first create a new instance of the LoadVars object */
myVars = new LoadVars();
// call the load method to load my php page
myVars.load("[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.teryg.net/test/image/RandomSwf.php");[/URL]
// once vars have been loaded, we will have these variables:
[b]//[/b]myVars.swfToLoad;
// URL of swf
myVars.onLoad = function(success) {
	if (success) {
		trace("variables loaded");
		[b]loadMovie(this.swfToLoad, "photo_clip");[/b]
	} else {
		trace("Error loading page");
	}
};
stop();

I did a quick test and it works well in your HTML.
