14.4.7 Flash as an Interface to VIEW and ViewDAQ

ActionScript 3.0 in Flash is now supported. There are many incompatible issues between ActionScript 2.0 and 3.0. When setting values to variables of AcrionScript 3.0 in Flash with flashvars=your_flash_variable... from within ViewDAQ/View client or fscommand(“GETVAL”, “your_flash_variable=your_webaccess_tag”);, root.loaderInfo.parameters. your_flash_variable must be used to retrieved the values in ActionScript 3.0. The following sample script written in ActionScript 3.0 illustrates how this can be done.

function WaitGetValue():void {

fscommand("GETVAL","pv=%ANUMRAND");

pv=root.loaderInfo.parameters.pv; // This statement is not required and not allowed when using ActionScript 2.0;

if (pv != pv_old) {

pv_old = pv;

tbox.text=pv;

}

}

var sid;

var pv;

var pv_old;

pv = "";

pv_old = pv;

tbox.text=pv;

sid  = setInterval(WaitGetValue, 500);
