AS2 :: Flash Parsing XML Without Loading An External File?
Nov 8, 2009
In my flash, the socket server returns some xml data that I need to parse, but it seems that the only way to start the XML object is with the XML.Load() which loads an external file, but my XML file is already loaded into a variable
trace("raw: "+msg);
msgArea.htmlText += "update remote player loc";
var playerLocXMLOb = new XML(msg);
I'm trying to call to a date in an external txt file (losttime.txt).The date is written as: 2012, 1, 09 in the .txt file.I've loaded the txt file and need to calculate the amount of time between that date and today.Right now, I have the date set in the lostTimeDate variable, but need it to call to the date in the txt file instead. I assume this has to do with Parsing the date, but for the life of me, cannot figure it out.Here is my code:
var myTextLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader(); myTextLoader.load(new URLRequest("losttime.txt"));[code].......
I'm new to using AS3.0 so I'm building the audio/video page for my group's website and I already have a seperate mp3 player and a video player I want to put on one flash file. I would just paste all the layers for both players on one file but the mp3 player is AS2.0 and that causes a problem. I tried to load both swf in AS2.0 but the only way I know how to do it is through an on release script from a button. I want the swfs to appear when loaded without having to use an on release function. I'm using the xspf player [URL] and this video player I found from the techlabs. [URL]. I tried to take an easy way out and just insert both swfs onto my dreamweaver file but when I test the site the video player won't appear.
I am trying to load an external swf file. The swf width and height is small and I want to enlarge it when loading it. (My scene has large width and height). My current code could load the file but I am not sure how to enlarge the swf width and height.
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("index.swf"); var loader:Loader = new Loader() loader.load(request); addChild(loader);
So there must be a million variations of questions and answers to this but I have yet to see one that works! Trust its nor for lack of trying as I think I have tried them all, so I am hoping by reposting this question that some one has found the answer. I've wracked my brain for the past 3 weeks an dthe closes i can come up with is this coding someone did in Flash 8 but aslas tis not complete or something.

I have tested with the absolute URL, with and without extension (.html or .txt ) I have testes with just the filename, with and without extension again. The text box is Dynamic, with Multiline (with wrapping) and I did press the button that says allow html rendering.
So I got two flash movies. A big one and a small one. I want to display the small one into the big one. Additionally I want the ability to resize it, load it at certain frame in the clip and apply some sort of tween/fade in effect to the loaded swf, but first things first.
I've got a movieclip with a blank dynamic textbox inside. On frame 1 of this movieclip, I have the actionscript to load the contents of an external .txt file into the dynamic textbox. The problems are:
1. I have an <img> tag in the external .txt that doesn't work (actually, the text does wrap around where the img is supposed to be in the dynamic textbox, but the img itself is not appearing. 2. All <p> tags don't work, but <br> does. 3. I have an ampersand (&) in the .txt file and all text is cut off at that point when loaded into the dynamic textbox. I've tried escaping it (&) and using & to no avail.
I need to load contents of an external html document through AJAX. The problem is the external page has some Flash application embedded. Now I need to show this html with the embedded flash in my own webpage.
I'm loading a external text file to flash and according to the number present in the text file i'm trying to do a IF - ELSE command. It's not working coz the value I load from the external file is string. How can i get this as intiger.
I am trying to load an external variable text file into a movie but it is returning compiler errors. Please suggest a solution. The source code is ......
var myTextLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader(); myTextLoader.DataFormat=URLLoaderDataFormat.VARIAB LES; myTextLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onLoaded);
[code]....
The external file is "gxcvrt.txt" while name, slogan, rep, button1-7 are the variables to be loaded.The compiler returns the following errors (highlighted in red)
Line 4 '{' expected Source = function onLoaded(e:Event) :void {
I am trying to import a SWF file into a custom loader and then treat the loaded SWF file as a MovieClip object. The code for the functionality can be seen below.
public function loadMyMovie(movie:String) { var now:Date = new Date(); var rnd:String = "?randomize=" + now.time;
[Code].....
When I do this I get the following error.
"Implicit coercion of a value with static type flash.display:DisplayObject to a possibly unrelated type flash.display:MovieClip."
I got a problem with adobe flash cs4 : I can't launch it normaly and its says that a fatal error has occured.. I really don't know what I must do.. Please, help me.... I've just lost like 3 or 4 files of adobe by trying to reinstall it.
what is the best method for loading external XML (with inherent HTML) content into Flash and into the TextArea component?i have an image loader and a TextArea together on the screen. a "story" is loaded which will present a series of images (in the image loading) associated with a corresponding text (in the TextArea). a "story" has multiple image/text sections that are navigatied through with FRWD/BACK buttons. any given section can also have multiple sub-sections or "frames".
[URL]
below is my proposed sample XML structure. i want Flash to recognize how many sections and frames within sections there are in each story XML document - in order to generate a corresponding navigation structure (a tab for each section). HTML content will be immediate availble to loadinto TextArea as user move forward in sequence with nav. and images references can also be preloaded into available MC containers to be swapped into place as user navigates forward in sequence. also need to read and store attributes for each node in the XML to come up in MCs in sequence. and must also be able to parse XML in a way to place simple HTML formatted content (within XML) into the TextArea.would Arrays be used?
<story title = "Story Title"> <section num = "1" title = "Section One Title" > <frame image = "1.jpg" caption = "caption text here"><b>Content</b><br><br>content
I have an external .txt file that contains data some variables with strings in them. I need to be able to tell if a string has a certain type of character in it. Like for example "no,yes"I want to detect the "," and split that string up at that point and assign the "no" and the "yes" to variables.Similarly if I have the string"1-100" or 1-2-3-4-5-6-7I want to detect the "-" and split that string up at that point and assign the "1" and the "100" to variables or 1-2-3-4-5 to variables
I have a 6mb XML file, resetting my script timout in CS4 doesn't help. (it does have some unnecesarry HTML in it I could probably do away with, but that would be the wrong direction I think)I can't even trace it.I am loading it into an :XML object and trying to work with it, but all to no avail.
Here is my Class:
Code: /** User class author: Manaburn
[code]...
The for each loop wont iterate for some reason, but the for loop will, then again, it always crashes me with:
Code: Error: Error #1502: A script has executed for longer than the default timeout period of 15 seconds.
(which as I stated above I reset, but as this is a .as file, I don't think it allows that.)
loadVariablesNum("produkter.txt", 0); import TextField.StyleSheet; var myCSS:StyleSheet = new StyleSheet();
[Code]....
and a dynamic textbox called "myHTML". If I name 'var' on this textbox everything works fine, but I want to write it in actionsscript instead. Where do I write that? (I have 3 different vars in the text-file)
I'd like to load external .swf file after clicking a button, so the new file replaces current one which is pretty much the same but in different language. Here is the file http:[url].... I'd like the little red&white button to do the work.I though this code would do the job, but something is missing here:
FlagPL_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, webEng);function webEng(event:MouseEvent):void{windowLoader.source="AyeAyeMedia FOTO VIDEO AUDIO
I have external actionscript files that I call like this:
#include "../events/allevents.as"
But if I want to inport the full URL i.e. #include [Url] it does locate the file although it is the correct URL. How can I set this up so it always calls the server as and not my local as file
I am building a SWF player which loads external SWF's. Rite Now. I could call the external SWF using URLRequest.
but I am getting 2 problems How to run the SWF with the frame rate of the actual SWF movie. How can I know the frameRate of external SWF dynamically from within AS3. I have set a layer of 450px by 350px. How do I scale the external SWF with showall property to fit in the layer.
