getVariables in Flash 9

[z3ro]

Hi!

I downloaded Flash 9 public alpha from adobe, and i have some proplems with as3 and ffish script get/set variables.

i write a package for update files (xml, swf, and image files) to my prog.

package com.login.update
{
import SWFKit.*;
        public var filetoupdate:String;

public class UpdateFiles 
{
               public function init ():void {
                         //checking file versions and get file names and locations
                         //..
                         //......
                         filetoupdate = "engine.swf";
                         //in ffish scipt resolvFile is a function for inet.ongeturl event
                         ExternalInterface.addCallback("resolvFile", dlProgress);
                         //runs the download script
                 ExternalInterface.call("ffish_run", "download");
               }
           
                public function dlProgress(type:String, dlstatus:String):void {
                            swfkit_trace("File download at progress: " +dlstatus+" bytes);

                }

        }
}

and my swf first frame has :

import com.login.update.*;

var updating:UpdateFiles = new UpdateFiles;
updating.init();

but i couldnt get filetoupdate variable in swfkit download script section (flashplayer.getVariable) , and callback function (dlProgress) not called.
i tryed many variations but not seems to work
in as2 this works fine, and i get the downloaded file size
my stupid as2 brain.. i know... Can anyone help me?

Thanks.

It seems that the "getVariable" method does not work with a class member, just like in flex 2. However, you can use the way introduced in http://www.swfkit.com/forum/thread_1_1807.html

That will work in both as 2 and as 3:

1. define a download method in ffish script ("initialize" script)

function download(swfile)
{
    filetoupdate = swfile;
    // call the "download" ffish script
    invoke("download");
}

2. in actionscript, call the download method instead of the download ffish script

 public function init ():void {
                        //checking file versions and get file names and locations
                        //..
                        //......
                        filetoupdate = "engine.swf";
                        //in ffish scipt resolvFile is a function for inet.ongeturl event
                        ExternalInterface.addCallback("resolvFile", dlProgress);
                        //runs the download script
                   ExternalInterface.call("download", filetoupdate);
              }
