check if a filepath supplied to a FLVPlayer component is valid or not - as in the player will fail, but I don't know how to ACT on it. I tried various try-catch and I tried listening for stuff - nothing seems to work. This is AS2 I'm concerned with.
View 1 RepliesI have a working flash php mailing form but the only problem is that I put some code in there to check if the email is valid before it sends it off but it doesn't seem to work. I did a test by just putting in a as the email and that worked, sent off the email without giving an error.
Code:
mailReceiver.onLoad = function() {
if (this.response == "invalid") {
mainTL.gotoAndStop(1);

Is is possible to check if its valid before it sends off or is there another method for checking valid email addresses. I used that code from [URL] website.
I'm making a form in flash for an application I'm building. In the Email text input, I want to check that the user has entered a real email address. Obviously as long as its text@text.text then I'm happy. How do I check what the have entered a valid format?

the same class is passed to the mxmlc compiler in SWF library as a symbol linkage class and again in a source-path. But the compiler uses the definition from the source-path so creating new instance of that class won't create new instance of the library symbol. How do I tell the compiler to prefer the definition linked to the symbol (the one dfrom SWC)?
I have my design assets in an FLA file and they are linked to classes (e.g. [URL]. Then I export those assets to a SWC library and pass it to the compiler. Now when I create an instance of the class (new MyAsset();) it will be a new instance of the library object.
But there are other classes too in the source folder (e.g. "com.myproject.model.*" so I need to pass the source folder to the compiler too. And that is the problem, now the compiler will use the MyAsset.as definition from the source path, not from the SWC where it is assigned to the library object so if I create new instance of MyAsset now it won't duplicate the library object.
Here's what i'm trying to do: Hide a MC depending on the path variable as:

I am displaying some flash content on a fairly standard page.

View 1 RepliesI have a UI component calendar that populates a text box that I validate before I let the form send.All works fine in this department until you put the date in the text box manually, then the form does not think there is a valid date. This is because I validate the two dates not by what�s in the textbox, but by what date the person chose in the calendar UI component.Confusing I know.So, how can I take a date someone puts is a listbox and formulate it so it looks like this
There date = 2/31/2003
Formulates to inputday = 1
inputmonth = 31
inputYear = 2003
I think if I have it in this form I can validate the date against the current date.Or, where is a good web site with form/date validation?

I'm trying to have a flash video, with fallback to the html5 video element for those browsers which don't support flash, such as iPhone. I'd also like to have valid html5. The issue I see is that in html5, object doesn't support the classid attribute anymore, but this would be required for a user to get flash if they don't have it but want it.
It seems my options are to accept invalid html5 but not have the flash work properly, or have the classid and not have valid html5.
I have a block of code that I want to execute directly after a url is known to be valid. What I mean by 'valid' is that the program has checked to see if that filepath actually exists. This could be accomplished by a COMPLETE listener, because after all, a loader couldn't finish loading its content if the referenced file didn't exist, but I want it to happen before any of the bytes begin to get sucked in. I have also tried the HTTPS_STATUS event, with a conditional saying "if the status is this [some non-error status number], then run this block of code." This would have worked great, except that different environments produce different network codes, and some even can't distinguish between errors and non-errors, just returning 0's no matter what. Because of this, I can't write a conditional that works no matter what browser....

On my network I have a couple of pc's all running a bespoke server which will return the username of the person logged in when queried.I have the following piece of code.
private function LoopAndList():void

var loopSocket:Socket;
var fourthOctet:Number = 6;

Now when this runs it doesn't work as I first thought. The iterations go though. the fourthOctet value is decremented. But somethinjg strange happens. You will notice in the above code that I have a hardcoded IP address in the loop. I have put this there to ensure that there is always a valid connection.

But the connection only happens on the last connect call.
