ActionScript 1/2 :: Sending And Getting Data From External File?
Nov 22, 2010
I'm running it in actionscript 1 and 2 since 3 wouldn't work when getting data from external media. I'm trying to find out how to post data to a PHP file and getting from that file I'm trying to make the flash for something that works like a game but differently. Since I just found out how to make the HTML stuff show up but a lot of times, some of my text will not appear so I don't know what's going on.
how to send and get data both at the same time from a sample file?
The sample file is example.php
It has to sent information like ID and NAME and it has to get information like Description and userID

I will be creating a program to use for data entry. I'll be studying zebras in kenya and I won't have the internet there as I'm recording the data. I'd like to be able to send the data I generate in flash to an external text file. I understand I need some sort of script to do that, but is this something I can run just on my machine? (I'll probably make the data into xml format).

I want to retrieve data from a Database and display inside a datagrid in a Flex web application. The way I'm thinking of doing it is :
Send the Query data from .mxml file to the .jsp page using HTTPService. In the .jsp, connect to the database and retrieve the data using select statements. send the results back to the .mxml using HTTPService.
I know what to use but I have an ambiguity. In the (.mxml) I use xxx.send() to send the data. What do I use in the (.jsp) to send it back ? I know that I should store the results in an XML in the .jsp file, but how to do that ?

I have an interactive Flash simulation that I have imported into SABA Publisher. I need for the Flash file to communicate with SABA, basically returning that the user has successfully completed the simulation. SABA is supposed to be able to receive data from Flash.

how to embed a value into a dynamically created MovieClip within an external file (.as) that I can access in my .fla file when the MovieClip is clicked.
I have created an external file (.as) that draws a series of adjacent boxes with a number in sequence on top of them. That much works OK, but I want to load it into a Flash file that will do math calculations based on the number of the box.
Here's my .as file.
Code:
package {
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import flash.text.TextField;
[Code]....
How, for example, can I get the "slide_number.text" box to say something like "The square of this number is ..." and the square of the figure?

i have been given two sources for a weather data feed:
[URL]
i would like to 'load' the text similar to loading xml i have seen several articles on reading variables from .txt but they all suggest the .txt file needs more formatting - whilst this one is just seperated by lines.

I have a simple swf file which loads data from an external XML file.At present, the user types the filename of the XML file they wish to load.Is it possible for Flash to 'read' the filenames of all of the available XML files in the folder and then present these filenames in a drop down list for example? Then, instead of typing filenames, the user would just click on the XML file they wanted to load.

1120: Access of undefined property xmldata.
If I try this on the main timeline
var myXMLmlimport=new xmlimport();
I get the error message
TypeError: Error #1010: A term is undefined and has no properties.

1. How could I make it where some images/text in a flash file is taken from another outside file. For example lets say I have a image and text that would need to change constantly. The image could probably be done by using a url and changing the image set to that url, but I would rather have it search for a images file name on my computer. For the text is there a way I could use a text document, and have it set up to take the text in that document and display it.
2. How can I make it so when I click a link to an outside url it doesn't confirm that I want to visit it.

I'm loading text from an external file (a notepad). Now all I want is to be able to change the text by loading text from another external file when a certain button is pressed. Basically, I got this as my default text which loads automatically at the start:
loadText = new LoadVars();
loadText.load("data.txt");
loadText.onLoad = function() {
title.text = this.title;
info.text = this.info;
body.text = this.body;
};
But now I want to load text from a different file (data2.txt) by the press of a button. I also have a transition animation so work with me. It would be...
b3.onRelease = function() {
if (_root.section != "photos.swf") {
//I also got this pic (swf) that changes on the button release//
_root.section = "photos.swf";
_root.transition.gotoAndPlay("closing");
So what exactly do I add to be able to change the text source?

I have this Simple Flash banner, that loads text, colors, and entire banner hyperlink from external .txt file into flash.For importing text into dynamic text fields with ïż½varsïż½ set i use
loadVariables("http://www.mysite.com/DIR/data.txt","");
For importing hyperlink onto flash button i use two layers:On blank layer i use:
loadVariables("http://www.mysite.com/DIR/data.txt","");
On button itself i use:
on (release) {
getURL(link1, "_blank");
}
Button has instance set also.Everything works fine and nicely.I use this HTML script to use banner in any website i like:
<object classid="clsid27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"
codebase="http://active.macromedia.com/flash4/cabs/swflash.cab#version=4,0,0,0"
id="name" width="468" height="60">
[code]....
Ok So everything works nicely. I load flash i load text, and i also load hyperlink. So after a happy job i went to sleep and other morning i tried to enter website with HTML code, that shows flash and i noticed:
1. Some times flash loads animation, but doesn't load my data.txt and places where dynamic text should be are blank, also hyperlink doesnt work, because it also seems to fail to load.
2. So i press "Refresh" on explorer and data loads perfectly.
3. So i keep pressing refresh some times try to turn of explorer and i noriced that some times it fails to load data and only non dynamic flash animation is played, and some times it loads it nicely.

I trying to load indivual strings of text from an external file. example: I have a movie that navigates from frame to frame. on each frame I'd like a line of text to load into the movie. When the user navigates to the next frame the text loaded vanishes and is replaced by another line of text. This can be done with separate txt files, right but I was wondering if and how it could be done using one external text file.

I am working to send data from as3 to php and I am having a little trouble with it. I am new to both AS3 and php but at this point I think I am doing fine.The project is simple it just takes two values from as3 and send its to php. But apparently I am not able to send variables from as3 to php. Here is the code(its very simple code):[code]I am sure the insert.php is working as I hardcoded the values in insert.php and it inserts the rows. So, I am assuming that there is some problem with sending the data from as3 to php.

Not getting data back into flash from php that queries mysql data, think the problem is with my as3 code here?The php works, the as3 posts to the php ok, its the returning of the variables to as3 that I am unsure about and seems to be the problem?
public static function MineData():void{
var myRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("login.php");
var myLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
