ActionScript 1/2 :: Listing All The Populated Variables When A Swf Is Loaded From An Embed Tag?
Mar 9, 2009
I've been wondering how I could possibily do this for some time now. and all I tried or thought of went nowhere. I'd like to list all the variables an html embed tag passes on to the swf file called, whatever they are named and how many there is. <EMBED src="example.swf?var="varcontent",var2="var2content"> it's not life-threatening, but I hate using things that work when I have an idea for things that would work better x)

I am making a scoreboard. On this scoreboard I will have 10 different scores. I want to compare the 10 scores and list the top 3 scores in another location. I was thinking at first
if(score1>score2&&score1>score3&&score1>score4 etc.....){
some function
}
But this will only give me the top score in the group. I would like to find the top 3 scores, and then list them.

I tried making a multidimensional Vector that was populated by other Vectors that are populated by Strings.
ActionScript Code:
var myVect:Vector = new Vector.<Vector>;
for (i = 0; i < 10; i++)
{
myVect[i] = new Vector.<String>;
}
This is giving me a Type Coercion error, even though the Vectors all have the correct object types in them. Is the error because I'm putting a Vector full of Strings into another Vector?Also, I'm working with large amounts of data, so using Arrays aren't an option because I need all the performance I can get.

Making a piano/keyboard application and trying to figure out the best way to set this up .I plan on having a directory of sounds for each 'instrument' in my assets folder (piano1/C4.mp3,piano1/D4.mpg,...)Is there a way to import/embed all of these as an array? Also is there a way I can pass a variable to this class to indicate which folder I want to import these from? Something that would be ideal
var type = "piano2"; //passed from class being called by
foreach(notes as note){
[Embed(source = 'assets/sounds/'+type +'/'+note+'.mp3')] private const C3:Class;
public var c3:Sfx = new Sfx(C3);
}
Or would it be a better idea to have a class for each of these "types" that pulls all notes?

I have a class that loads data from a text file and puts it into an array called tdv.importedTxtArray (public var).In a separate class i have written [code]The infoArray does not then contain the imported text however because tdv.importedTxtArray is not given its popper contents until about 1/2 a second after the tdvLoader class executes (i.e: when Event.COMPLETE is run and the array is populated with strings from the external text file). Subsequently in the code above infoArray is set to a blank array.How can i get the code in my separate class to ''wait' until tdv.importedTxtArray is properly populated before accessing it.

I have a AS3/CS5 project in which I am dynamically loading in a font whose location is passed in via XML.
I want to then embed the font per below:
Code:
//font location string passed via xml - "/fonts/randomfont.ttf"
var fontLocation = xml.navigation.font.@fontLocation
[Embed(source=fontLocation, fontFamily="font1", embedAsCFF="false",
[Code]....
it works fine. Are you not able to use variables as metadata in the embed tag? Is there a work around for this?

I'm develloping a little image loading application for a client. the same swf has to be reused over and over to load the files. They are passing me the image location in the embed tag but they are not using the usual
flash.swf?path=folderpath&img1=image1.jpg&img2=ima ge2.jpg&img3=image3.jpg
instead they are using this format :
flash.swf?/folderpath/::SPLIT::image1.jpg::SPLIT::image2.jpg::SPLIT::ima ge3.jpg
do you know how I can read those variables into my flash file ?

what I need to do is have a flash movie jump to a set label in timeline according to which named variable I have defined in the embed HTML code.So, let's say I have a movie with two labeled frames ("shape1" and "shape2") and when the variable pagevar equals "one", the movie jumps to "shape1" while when the variable pagevar equals "two", the movie jumps to "shape2". If the variable is undefined or equals anything else, the movie simply stops.[code]

I seem to have the [Embed] tag working OK for embedding fonts But I want to specify font and font location in an xml file, read in the font location, and pass it into the [Embed] statement. Like this
var xFont = xFormat..navcontrols.font;
//then...
[Embed(source = xFont, fontName = 'myFont', mimeType = 'application/x-font-truetype')]
var csgFont:Class;
The error I get is
'unable to resolve 'xFont' for transcoding
I want to keep this all in AS3 if at all possible. I dont want to use the Flash IDE to create embedded fonts. I would ideally like to minimize the impact of changing a font.

i am wanting to know how much I can be sure that users of my website will not be able to pass bogus variables to my Flash movie. Basically I will have some features available to certain users and I realise that for the average user they will not know anything about how to send spoof vars but is it possible for someone to change the variables sent using SWFObject when a page loads and thus be able to use the functionality that I am trying to disable for them.I have a PHP (my_flash_movie.php) page that calls a function from an included globals.php file to determine if the user can see the restricted functionality is_ user_a_subscriber($_SESSION['user_id']); which returns 1 or 0. This 1 or 0 is then passed to Flash which enables or disables certain features. I dont want someone to be able to send a 1 instead of a 0 basically. This isnt a site where security is critical and the functionality that is disabled is not really critical either so wouldnt be too bad if this happened but im just curious about this and wondering if I should think of another way to pass these vars that might be more hidden.

I don't know if I'm using the correctly terminology but I've made a movie rater in flash for MySpace. The problem is it doesn't allow script access. The music players on MySpace load xml files through the embed statment.
Now, I've done the same thing using this:
[URL]
I know how to read xml files in actionscript (variable=moviedata.xml.firstchild.firstchild.node value; ) and all that good stuff. The problem is, I don't know how to read an xml file that has been loaded this way with out the actual load commands being in the swf itself.

Does anyone know if it's possible to list the references an object currently has in ActionScript3 (e.g. listeners, children etc)?
I'm trying to clear an object from memory ready for garbage collection but for some reason it's hanging around.

so i want to have my dynamic text listed with a consistent space between each textfield. However, the textfields can have varying amounts of text, so just doing txt.y = t*40 would not cut it. I've tried getting txt.length to calculate how many lines it would be, but if i change the font size it changes everything.

I am basically creating an application that prioritizes jobs listing, so far I can assign a task priority, description. So basically once the task description and task priority is chosen, the user will click the add button, and this will be stored in the database and on the screen another mc will appear where the created priority and description assigned will be display. In the mc there will also be a delete button to remove/delete the task. What code could I use to remove the task...
So far I have typed the following
mc.task_mc.delete_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onDeleteClick);
private function onDeleteClick(e:MouseEvent):void {

I have an API for a flash player that I want to use, but it is closed source. I know I could try a decompiler but I need to see what it loads and what it's doing at runtime.I'd like to see the objects (and all their info) that it loads and has on stage along with thier instance names. I'd like to see what this SWF has/does so I can write my AS3 code accordingly... maybe add some additional event listeners.Is there any was to go about doing this? I know there's some AS3 commands to get this information but I dont know what they are.

i'm trying to create some code which would create instances of arbitrary classes.for example... i'm making a game which will be hosted on a site, and characters i create over time will eventually be selectable for use in game. but instead of uploading an entirely new game whenever i decide to add a new character, i'd prefer to just update an xml file listing the characters, as well as an swf file for each character class.so during actual runtime, i'd have to create instances of these characters.... but i wouldn't necesarily know which character class constructor i'd be creating.... it would depend on who the user selects.if it were up to me, i'd be able to decide what class instance i'd like to make from a string variable (taken from xml).like this maybe...
var classname:String = "CharacterOne()";
var character:Object = new classname;
....instead of having to write: var character:CharacterOne = new CharacterOne();

I am building an application that uses a series of combo boxes that are populated by XML.The XML nodes that populate the combo box have three attributes name, file and id. Name is the label that displays in the CB. File is not important now. ID is a value that I would like to set a variable to upon the user selecting a certain item. This is my question.I need to set a variable to the value that is determined by the ID attribute in the XML node upon a user selecting an item in the combo box. For example. user chooses France from the CB, the variable "id" is set to say 5 which is the value of the ID attribute in the xml node where France is the "name" attribute.

I am populating the text of text fields with data from an XML file. I would like to do two things.
The code looks like this:
PHP Code:
DSGbox.textFirstName.htmlText = xmlDSG.name.first; DSGbox.textLastName.htmlText = xmlDSG.name.last;
First, I would like to format the text... bold, font size, etc...Second, I would like to concatenate the first and last name to appear on the same line without space in between caused by two text fields. I tried the following, but it didn't work.
PHP Code:
DSGbox.textFirstName.htmlText = xmlDSG.name.first + xmlDSG.name.last;
