Actionscript 3 :: Determine If A Child Exists?

Mar 19, 2012

I have an event driven flash program. I need to be able to call removeChild() if and only if an object is a child. getChildByName() and most other functions don't seem to allow for this and if you call removeChild() on an object that isn't a child it will throw an error. I suppose an option may be to catch the thrown error and just ignore it, but that seems like a bad solution.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Detecting Whether A File Exists In A Folder?

Jan 18, 2009

I am trying to detect whether a movie has been loaded properly via the "loadMovie" method. Another option is somehow getting a boolean value telling me whether or not a file exists in a specific folder... or whether a url exists. Basically, I want to be able to know whether or not a client has added a photo to the gallery folder on the server.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Detects If A File Exists AND If It's Empty

Sep 23, 2006

I have to load a text file. First I want to detect if the file exists or not, so I use "if (rawTxt == undefined)".

Now, if the file exists and contains data, the condition n2 is met...it's OK! But now, if the file exists BUT is empty it doesn't meet the condition n2.. It's not "undefined" neither "not undefined" since any trace action accours.

In other words, how can I check that a text file exists...AND that it's empty or not (so that I can add a branch if that condition is met?) Try by yourself with an empty text file named "Favorites.ini".

Code:
var loadFavorite = new LoadVars();
loadFavorite.onData = function(rawTxt:String) {
if (rawTxt == undefined) {

[Code].....

ActionScript 3.0 :: Checking To See If A File Exists Before Loading?

Jun 11, 2009

in AS3 to check if a file exists before loading it. There was not very much about so I wrote these classes to do it. There are two classes, the FileLoaderUtils and the UtilEvent. the FileLoaderUtils has the function doesFileExist(url:String) and when called the class uses the URLStream class to attempt to load the file. If the file exists a UtilEvent.FILE_EXISTS event is dispatched. If the URL is incorrect or the file doesn not exist a UtilEvent.FILE_NOT_FOUND event is dispatched.

Flash Jfsl Command Cannot Find As File Whereas It Exists?

Sep 24, 2010

I have C:flashFlashApplication1FlashApplication1FlashApplication1.as

package {

public class FlashApplication1 extends MovieClip {[code]......

When running jfsl in flash command run it says it cannot find file:///C:/flash/FlashApplication1/FlashApplication1/FlashApplication1.as on line 7 (var doc = fl.openDocument(uri);) whereas it does exist at that location.I have looked at official doc on openDocument
http:[url]....it shows a weird path syntax:

var doc = fl.openDocument("file:///c|/Document.fla");

I tried to use file:///c| instead of file:///c: but it didn't work either.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Determine If Two FileReferences Reference The Same File?

Apr 30, 2011

I'm trying to determine if two FileReferences reference the same file.  I'm trying to guarentee file uniqueness in a space where file size and name might not be enough.  What I'm really trying to tell is if the path of each of the referenced files is unique.
 
I have already tried an approach with hashing the data in the file, but the files I am working with are large, and this is a very slow process.
 
I would be currious to know as an alternative if it is possible to load only a limited amount into the data array of a FileReference.  I should be able to guarentee uniqueness if I could hash say, the first MB of data, or the whole file...whichever is smaller.

ActionScript 1/2 :: Determine Total # Of Frames In Externally Loaded .swf File?

Apr 29, 2009

I need to be able to load a couple of external.swf files and have them play sequentially. To do that, I need to know the number of frames in the first .swf file so that I can check _currentframe against _totalframes to determine when it is finished playing so that I can load the second one.Most of the tips I see indicate that _totalframes on an external .swf can be determined by loading the.swf into a container clip and then checking using a listener within .onLoadInit. Like this:

---------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------
this.createEmptyMovieClip("tester_mc", 1);var mcListener:Object = new Object();
mcListener.onLoadInit = function(target_mc:MovieClip)[code].......

Unfortunately, that doesn't seem to work. The trace always returns a total frames of 1.I imagine this is because the container movie clip only has 1 frame, and the external .swf timeline appears to be ignored.how to gather the total frames of an external .swf file or, alternatively, tell in some other way when it is finished playing. (Not just loading, but playing to the end.)

Mxmlc :: Does Flex SDK's Create A Cache File Or Hash To Determine If Source Code Has Changed

Oct 22, 2009

My ant buildfiles tell mxmlc.jar to recompile target mxml source. However, if the target mxml source file has not changed, either ant or mxmlc is ignoring the file and will not create a new swf. This is an annoyance because I'm editing files imported by the target mxml. I need it to rebuild when those files change. I'm guessing that the mxmlc is creating a cache file somewhere and comparing the target mxml (or maybe just a hash). Is this what is happening? What's the standard work-around? At the moment, I'm editing the target mxml just to cause a file change.

IDE :: Checking If MC Exists?

I have a gallery loading jpegs from an xml file into a mc called mainPicArea, on frame 5. I have other content on frames 1,2,3,4,6,7.

I want to run an if statement to check whether mainPicAreaexists and if it does, then run a removeChild(mainPicArea), and if not do nothing.

[AS]
if (MovieClip.mainPicArea){
trace("exists");
//removeChild(mainPicArea);

When I test, it comes back with the trace "doesent exist", even though it does exist.
