ActionScript 2.0 :: [CS3] Verify URL Existence Before Using 'loadMovie(someURL)'
Sep 22, 2007
I'm working on a simple non-XML-based slide show where the container MC dynamically loads sequentially numbered files (01.swf, 02.swf, 03.swf, etc). As you may already be gathering, I want to write a little loop that returns true if the file is there, e.g. if there's only files, 01.swf � 07.swf and the loop checks for 08.swf and doesn't find it, it returns false. BTW, in this particular case checking loader MC's _width won't work, so I need an alternative to that.

Why does the trace in the loop below return false for every iteration, even though there ARE nodes named with 6 of the 8 possible values??? This only happens when I have a namespace. Is there some other way to check for the node values???

I need to check for file existence in Flash on x number of videos. I've tried LoadVars and MovieClipLoader. LoadVars works but it actually loaded the entire video before reporting its done. Without a way of knowing that its started, I can't delete it before its done. I don't what to load the entire video, i just want to check that its there. MovieClipLoader has onLoadError and onLoadStart, which works because I can unload the MovieClip right after its starts loading and know its there and if there's a load error I know it's not there. Should work, but I need to run that x number of times to check for the other videos.

What is the best method to test the existence of an attribute on an XML object in ActionScript 3 ttp://martijnvanbeek.net/weblog/40/testing_the_existance_of_an_attribute_in_xml_with_as3.html is suggesting to test using
if ( node.@test != node.@nonexistingattribute )
and I saw comments suggesting to use:
if ( node.hasOwnProperty('@test')) { // attribute qtest exists }
But in both case, tests are case sensitiveFrom the XML Specs : "XML processors should match character encoding names in a case-insensitive way" so I presume attribute name should also be match using a case-insensitive comparison.

I have an array with some elements that may repeat themselves or not (this is actually because they're attributes retrieved from xml nodes, but you don't need to know that); what I want to do is: go through that array and check for elements and store them in another array according to the following condition (this is where it gets tricky): if that element does not exist in the final array yet, store it; if it does exist already, nevermind it.
I wrote this code:
//custom method for searching through array
Array.prototype.contains = function(searchValue){
for(i=0; i<this.length; i++){
if (this[i] == searchValue){
return true
[Code] .....
Trace returns lisbon, oporto, oporto, coimbra, oporto, coimbra wich means that the only element in the destinations array being prevented from getting pushed into the final array is the first element in the initial array (in this case, "lisbon")... but if it prevents the first one, how come it doesn't prevent the others, damn it?...

I have a parent.swf file that loads a child.swf. When the child.swf is running on it's own, I'd like it to do one thing, but if it has been loaded into the parent.swf. I want it do something else (i.e. change behavior). Is there a way for the child.swf to detect whether it has been loaded into a parent.swf or not?

I'm using the FLVPlayback class to play my FLV files.
If I'm trying to play a FLV file which is not existed yet then I am getting a "VideoError: 1000" with message of Unable to make connection to server or to find FLV on server.
I want to check for the FLV file existence using the file URL or path, before playing that FLV by FLVPlayback.

My Flex 3 application has some modal dialogs displayed via the PopUpManager, but there are times when I'd like other view components to know there is popup displayed. The PopUpManager doesn't have any method for actually checking the existence of popups. Is there any other way to detect this in flash/flex without writing my own global manager?
(also systemManager.popUpChildren.numChildren == 0 even when there's a modal popup)

In ActionScript 3 you can declare optional parameters like this:function (i:int = 0, s:String = "", o:Object = null):void { }So you can check if the user passed parameters s and o because you can test against the empty string or the null object if(s && o)...But how do you allow an int to be truly optional? What if all values for i are valid, including 0, negative and positive integers? And what if you want to enforce integer (not use Number?)what's the best practice here? the (...) rest may work but then you can't enforce a certain number of parameters at runtime, nor can you make for useful code completion?

I am working on a CD project in flash. I have a main Projector(.exe) file which call other swf files. I compile all these files(.exe and swf) to installable CD which copy all the files on the local hard disk and make a shortcut on the desktop.
Now the problem is that I want to run my .exe file only if CD is in CDROM otherwise it loads another swf(from the local hard disk) which shows the message "please insert the CD and restart the application".

What I want to do is what parseInt and parseFloat does..basically I want to take ANY string and a radix value from 2->36, and then cut the leading part of the string that makes it a value in that radix.Let's call this method "cutValueFrom( str:String, radix:uint ):String".[code]and yes I could technically bang this out in some long ugly loop... but I want it faster then that. parseInt does it speedy like, I'm looking for something comparable, hence my desire for a good RegularExpressio.

I am uploading files, jpgs, pngs, gifs, using filereference ... no problems.
my concern is the validity of the files that a user might upload.
for instance, I took a .txt file, changed it's extension to .jpg, and filereference was able to upload it to my server ( furthermore my php script was able to create a copy of it, resize the copy, and save it also ).

I am trying to create a form in actiocsript that verifies correct user input before submitting. So far I have the form checking that NewEmail contains characters, an "@" symbol and a "." symbol. However is there code that can check that the layout of the email is correct before submitting i.e. <"sometext"@"sometext"."sometext">
Also I need to insert a seperate name verifier to check that there are no numbers included in a text box. This is my code so far:
_global.detailsCheck = function() {
if ( _root.NewEmail.length == 0 | _root.NewEmail.length == "" | _root.NewEmail eq "") {
// Alerts the user that their password is incorrect
_root.Guide2 = "Please Fill All Detail Fields";

How do you verify if a variable contains a specific set of characters. Let's say: my_var="My name is Peter and I like apples";
