Re: Inserting action script variables to a frame

Hi Andrew,

I managed to do it, that is, I'm able to use variables in the actions script
in this way:

StandardContext aStandardContext = new StandardContext();
aStandardContext.setValue("variable name", "somevalue");
aFlashFile.processFile(aStandardContext);

In this way it is not really set I think in the action script, but since
they are apperently global variables they can be used.

Thanks for your offer to look at thet swf!

Regards,

Niek

sure, that even though Flash lets you use a variable without defining it,
when it comes to action script it is always defined somehow... either with a
DefineLocal, DefineLocal2 or ActionConstantPool, so in effect you are trying
to set the value of a variable that doesn't exist, which the flash
interpreter just seems to ignore.  To remove this error, you could use
aASAssembler.localVar("extension", ".COM") instead of the setVar call.

whether it actually gets added to the movie or not.. if you try the above
and it doesn't fix the error, send me an example swf (before and after) and
I will look into it further.
