ActionScript 2.0 :: Can't Get Flash To Refresh Server Data
Jan 27, 2006
Here's the simple steps
1. Enter part number and submit
2. Part number is sent to server
3. Part number is returned from server with a string of results (manfacturer, product location, number of stock, size, image)
4. Flash takes the results and places them in to their apprpriate display text fields and loads the image also.
All this works great EXCEPT when you try a second, third, fourth...time.
I trace all the responses and get new and correct results for every part number I enter, but it simply won't overwrite the previous displayed data. Nothing I try will get rid of the last results!
I have a flash app which runs on my browser using Apache with PHP.This app displays items according to xml files which can be created anew or added to.When the user changes these files via php, these changes are not reflected in the app. If I close the app and re-start the changes are there.Is there some way to refresh the localhost in the program?
I have a Flash app that uploads an xml file using URLLoader() and URLRequest(). But this file gets overwritten every 10-30 minutes with fresh data. The only way I've found so far to view changes in the xml data is to refresh my web page (F5 or Ctrl-->F5). Short of turning to Javascript, isn't there some way for Flash to refresh its xml data?
I had an issue with my index.html testing on IE and the preloader just stalls on "loading 0%". he told me that locally the progress event doesn't have time to load and to try uploading it to your server and see if it works. It worked just fine. Rah Rah Kglad.
So today I'm fine tuning the swf/ fla to clean it up. Reduced some picture sizes and deleted unused files and reduced the swf from 4000 KB to 350 KB Rah Rah Gene. replaced the swf in Dreamweaver and re-uploaded with Filezilla. Rah ah Filezilla.
Everything working great and my preload went from 23 seconds to less than 3. So I'm real happy except for one small issue. Firefox and IE both do this. If I hit the refresh button, it stalls on "loading 0%" once again just like it did locally.
If I hit the refresh several times it WILL refresh randomly....2 times refresh......10 times refresh etc.

Spoke to my hosting company who said everything seems fine on the server. BTW he said Chrome did NOT have this issue Rah Rah Chrome.
When a user refreshes the page in IE9, the disconnect handler isn't called. So in an application like a fms lobby, a user seems to stay in the list when he actually isn't there anymore.
I am using some simple ActionScript to load an XML file and then populate some things in my .swf from the elements and attributes. I have implemented a simple interval which calls a function to reload the XML file every 30 seconds, so that whatever is new in the XML is reflected in the swf almost immediately. The problem is that in Firefox and IE, the .swf doesn't update. If I edit my swf with Flash and then manually change the XML file it successfully shows the new changes when the re-loading is called, but for some reason this only works successfully inside Flash CS3 and not when viewing the swf in a web browser. Do I need to do something different? My code is below
I am tying to find a way to refresh variables with new data. I am using PHP and MySQL to randomly assign new data to a variable when the script is called. This new data is passed to Flash as in a variable using these functions:
varReceiver = new LoadVars(); varReceiver.load("iat_config.php"); varReceiver.onLoad = function(success){
[code]....
So my problem is that every time I call my movie to go to this frame that contains this actionscript, it does not provide me with new variables. Another important variable I need to change every time the frame occurs is startTime = getTimer(); However, the variable startTime will stay they same and not change when the frame is recalled.
Calling a simple refresh (like with a simple arraycollection as a dataprovider, or with a refresh on the Grouping Collection) does not work. Also re-assigning the arrayCollection to the Hierarchical Data and then assigning this one again to the Datagrid does not work (even with calling invalidateProperties() or validateNow()).
I'm very new to Flash, but I have an app that uses mult widgets. What I need to know is if one of my widgets data changes can I force another widget on the screen to force it to refresh its data.
When updating the data provider for a menu bar component, the state of the menu items fails to update until the user interacts with the menus (rolls the mouse over them, clicks them, etc). For example, a disabled item remains enabled until the user roll the mouse over it. Is there a way to force a menu 'refresh' after modifying the data provider XML?
I'm trying to make a software which sends video and audio data to a flash media server by using RTMP protocol. Currently, my program can communicate with a flash media server correctly. RTMP specifications does not describe about the raw data in video/audio messages, so I muxed raw H.264 and AAC data into video/audio messages and sent to the server. The server seems to accept them, but a video player cannot playback the stream sending from the server. The player just says "Loading..." For a test purpose, I sniffed the network packets between Wirecast and the flash media server and ripped off only video and audio data. Then, I muxed those data into video/audio message and sent to the flash media server. In this case, the video player connected to the server can playback the stream correctly.
I checked the stream sent from Wirecast, the stream seems not to be H.264 raw data because those data are not started from 0x17 instead of H.264 start code. With those situation, I am wondering what kind of container format I should use for H.264/AAC data to the flash media server.
I'm trying to load some binary data from server like this
var urlRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://localhost/test.php"); var loader:Loader = new Loader(); loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, completeHandler);
My rtmp client connects to the server ok and rtmp data flowing ok for about 4hours, in the wireshark trace I can see that the server just stops sending data roughly after 4hours. The server version is 3.5.1, and I also try it on a 4.0 server the data stops coming from the server as well after 5+hours. There are no errors or any indication of session disconneciton in the diagnostic logs. I have also looked thru the settings in applicaiton.xml and server.xml I just don't see any obviious reason for the issue. I do send rtmp Acknowledgement to server after the client receives "window size" bytes, and the client sends ping response to server.
I made a server connection with AC3 and C, I need the client(AC3) to be able to send a 3 byte message to the server (C) and have the server return a resopnse. So far everything works except for the fact that the feedback isn't fast enough becuase AC3 just tests for data once and moves on instead of waiting like in C. I'm using a binary socket at the moment but I was wondering if there was any way to wait for new data before moving on
What the directory location of the default webpage data when the Adobe Interactive FMS 4 video is installed at?When the page loads it has all of the Adobe products and featurs on the page, I just need to know the location so I can edit it.
I need to clone .png image data loaded from server in AS3, so that I am not required to load same data again and again from server. After a search on cloning image data in AS3 I was able to find following code over internet clone = new Bitmap(Bitmap(this._loader.content).bitmapData.clone()) By using this code I am able to clone bitmap data but the problem which I am facing is that my png background is transparent. If I typecast loaded png data to bitmap my icons background becomes white.
I am trying to access a FTP server that allows anonymous access to the data files stored on the server.. they are stored as txt files... I want to display some of the files in a flash CS4 Movie... It is also on a HTTP server directory...
I have accomplished it within the CS4 Flash development application using the HTTP Server but when I publish the document it gives me a blank stage the data that shows in the Test Movie swf is not showing when the SWF is on its own... I am thinking it has something to do with crossdomain security that is built in... is there a way I can accomplish this? I prefer the FTP access but will use the HTTP access...
I'm trying to do a Christmas Calendar in Flash. I'm using buttons for the 24 days, that I want to activate depending on the date. Since I can't count on clientcomputers having the correct date set I want to use the date from the server and pass it into Flash. Now I found out on the Macromedia website, that you can use FlashVars as a ActiveX Parameter to pass values into Flash. So far so good. How do i address the variable in Flash then? Using a syntax like this [code]...

Using a syntax like this PHPode:FlashVars="datum=DAY_OF_MONTH" //DAY_OF_MONTH holds the date I get from the serverin my html file, that's calling the .swf I should be able to simply use datum as a variable in Flash. However that doesn't seem to work
I've been making a simple RSS reader flash widget for my webpage. It works perfectly when I test it locally, but when I publishit, I always get the No.Data.Received error. I've played with allthe parameters on the XMLConnector and all the publish settings,but no dice.The only thing that I can think of is that I'm loading RSSfrom a different site, but it isn't restricted in any way.
I am trying to have a PHP page load some variables into aFlash banner ad that will be running on 8 different websites...I need to have one central location for the PHP page andallow 8 other domains access this data...I am finding that when everything is on one server... noissues... data reads just fine...But when the PHP page is on one server and the SWF file onanother... the data never gets through...I am assuming this is some issue with security within
I have an ASPX script that load the properties of a long list of objects from database (about 1000).
Then I have a spinning mc to entertain the user while data is loaded.
The problem is that it starts to spin, and then, at certain point of data reading the animation freezes indicating that Flash is too busy gathering and putting data into the LoadVars object (it restarts to spin after finish data reading).
Question is: there is a way to override this and force Flash to give priority to the animation? I think that's a very ugly behavior by the point of view of user and would be nice if it could be fixed.
Personally I cannot see another way to turnaround it but performing several smaller and consecutives database readings (to reduce CPU load), but I think that's a totally unaceptable solution...
I have a camera attached to a video object that is displayed on stage. When a user comes to the site they see themselves, but I want to be able to save the video and take a snapshot. How would I go about getting the data out of flash to the server?
My .fla/.swf file is unable to load the data from server. Instead, it is displaying the below error: Error #2044: Unhandled securityError:. text=Error #2048: Security sandbox violation: [URL] cannot load data from [URL]. at MiniHumanAp_fla::MainTimeline/MiniHumanAp_fla::frame1() the reply for root-cause of this error...
