ActionScript 2.0 :: Creating A .txt File From Flash?
Aug 7, 2006
I have a swf gallery that I created in flash MX which accesses images in folder using an XML file. This XML file has a header and a footer, and a standard image node for each image where the information of the exact name of each image... ie image01.jpg and the description of it ... and their locations .... is gallery01/image01.jpg etc, where gallery01 would be the folder. Currently all of this information about the images is entered by hand in the XML file and this task starts to become very tedious when there are many images per gallery. What I would like to konw.... and like to do... is create an swf or flash application that would create a the xml file... Ideally I would like the user to have a sort of gui in which each image from a folder to which he or she browses to ...is displayed... one at a time... and with the display of each image .. there is a text field where the user can name and type the description of the image.... and all of this data should somehow be recorded and stored in an XML file.

I am working on school project for a beginner Flash class. The code I was given in class for the preloader does not for my particular flash movie. Q #1: can you create the pre-loader within the same file as the movie (ie separate scenes)?Q #2: if yes, why wouldn't it wouldn't work for me? i was told that it doesn't for all files, but i would like to know why?Q #3: is there a way to do it through two different files with coding (the preloader file pulling up the movie file)?

Since I started using CS3 I sometimes get the following error: Error creating Flash movie file. Be sure the destination file is not locked or on a locked drive. Also, check that the file name is not too long. It doesn't happen all the time, and I haven't been able to figure out what causes it. I have been able to confirm that it's not anything to do with locked files/drives, permissions, or file name length.
It happens with files created elsewhere (by other developers) that I've modified, and it happens with files I start from scratch - I can create a new FLA on my desktop and it won't publish. Sometimes (but not always), publishing to a different directory than the one the FLA is in will work. This is becoming a big problem. I'm on OS X 10.4.9, 2.33 GHz Core 2 Duo MacBook Pro 17", running CS3 Web Premium package.

I have created a small flash project with 6 Scenes(two scenes contain flv clips 2 minutes each(1560 frames)). If I test each scene separately it runs perfectly, but when I try to run the whole movie it runs for 10 minutes "Exporting SWF Movie" and then stops without any errors or warning and without running project or creating swf file. I am using Adobe Flash Professional cs5.5.

I have a movie which loads quiz questions from an XML file. This works perfectly, although editing the questions is a bit tricky. Whether it is possible to create an XML file from a flash movie.
I would like to create a simple template in which:
- the user enters the question and answer data
- the user chooses a filename for their data
- this data is saved to the hard drive in the form of an XML file
- this data can be accessed by a serarate quiz movie
Is this possible?

I am doing a project for class and I am trying to see how i can make a certain action script in flash.I wanted to see if I can stack a few hundred (very small) images on top of one another with very low opacities.These stacked images will randomly change their order in the layers and create a unique composition everytime.Is there a way to do this in flash? if so, how would I go about it?

In the past I have used PPro CS4 and Encore to create a DVD of clips which I show to clients. Each clip has a chapter mark so that I can jump quickly to the start of each clip. I now want to make a big Flash file of all the clips, with chapter marks which I can quickly jump to. But when I create the file from PPro, I get all the clips in one nice big file, but with no chapter marks. If I create it from Encore, it cuts the file into lots of little Flash files, the cutting points being the chapter marks. How can I create one big Flash file consisting of all the little clips, but with chapter marks which I can jump to?

Firstly, I've created with Adobe Captivate an SWF file which I have been able to reference in an aspx page and when I view the website, it runs fine (no other file is referenced to run this). Example of the below code in the aspx page I have created:
object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000"codebase="http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab# version=8,0,0,0"width="500" height="400" id="Untitled-1" align="middle"><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" /><param name="movie" value="progressive2.swf" /><param name="quality" value="high" /><param name="bgcolor" value="#aaaaaa" /><embed src="MY_VIDEO.swf" quality="high" bgcolor="#ffffff"width="500" height="400" name="Untitled-1" align="middle"allowScriptAccess="sameDomain" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" /></object>
My objective is this. I have a final edited FLV video file. I also have Flash Professional. What I want to do is create a single SWF file (like with the Adobe Captivate example), which will include the video and the skin for the progress bar, volume etc and then reference this in another aspx page for the website.
I want to be able to have the same 'packaged' SWF file, as in the captivate, created from this FLV video. In Flash Proffessional, I've imported the FLV into the 'stage' and added a skin through the wizard. But trying to publish or other options, I've not been able to get this single 'packaged' SWF file to run correctly in the website, via the same apsx code as above.Am I missing a trick here? I would presume it would be fairly simple as I don't want to edit the video, more I want to embedded it with a skin in the one SWF file.

I'm just starting out with my first Adobe Air project (I'm a pure AS3 developer by trade).I'm planning to build an image editor which supports layers. I'm wondering what the best way would be to store an entire project including layer data (images) to a users hard disk.I'm wondering if there is any pros/cons in creating a custom file format for my application. The idea is I will be able to store an entire project in a single file. This will be done by writing meta data to the file's header such as the image dimensions, layer names, layer data offsets etc...I'm trying to be mindful of the issues which might arrise such as maintaining backwards compatibility after adding new project features/meta etc.I guess I'm asking whether people have any advice or experience with creating a custom file format for Adobe Air and if there are any other 'out-of-the-box' solutions to saving 'complex' data to a users hard disk.

I'm trying to figure out the best way to create a search box that searches an XML document and returns the results. So far I know how to do a search that returns exact matches but I want to make it so if someone typed in say "Manager" it would return results that Also had "Sales Manager" or "Account Manager".
Currently I have
PHP Code:
var authorList:XMLList = xmlData.job.(title == citySearch.text);
Which only works with exact results. What is the best way to get around this? Do I just need to bring in everything from the XML file and then compare it using .search()?

Creating a high score table in flash, using external file handling, can be achieved using server-side scripts, such as PHP. However, as this is not allowed for my game (school project), I need a way to write a few variables directly to a text file and read it back again. Is this possible? I am using AS 2.0. Any other ways in which a high score table, which is portable and can be saved and updated

I am creating a SWF file using a MXML file. The MXML file define several MX:Button and uses an external stylesheet to style them. There is a problem I am facing at the moment, I am aiming to style the buttons in a way that is similar to the way I can style HTML button elements. However, I could not achieve such look and feel. For example, I could not find a way to define the color and thickness of the borders for each side of the button (top, bottom, left, right), the background color, the margins, the padding, the width, and the height of the button. Also, selector such as hover, active, focus are not available. I was only able to change the size and the font color of the button successfully.

Initially I had a 2039 error I resolved this by using a local testing server, which resulted in a 2038 error. So then I hard coded the url and now I dont get any errors but the file doesnt upload.
Instead a file is created (FileUpload.cs) in the directory where the files should be.
Does anyone know what this FileUpload.cs file is?

We're building a web-based application that requires heavy image processing. We'd like this processing load to be on the client as much as possible and we'd like to support as much platforms (even mobiles) as much as possible. Here's the info: Image processing is rasterization from some data. Think like creating a PNG image from a PDF file. We don't have a lot of server power. So client-side processing is a bit of a must.
So, we're considering: Flash - most widespread, but from what i read has lackluster development tools. (and no iPhone/iPad support for now). Silverlight - allows us to use .NET CLR, so a big ++ (a lot of code is in .NET). But is not supported for most mobiles ( rumored android support in the future) HTML5 + Javascript - probably the most "portable" option. The problem is having to rewrite all that image processing code in Javascript.
Clarification: I don't need further ideas on what libraries are available for Silverlight and Javascript. My dilemma is choosing Silverlight means no support for most mobiles choosing Flash means we have to redevelop most of our code AND no iPhone/iPad support HTML5 + Javascript we have to redevelop most of our code and not fully supported yet in all browsers choosing two (Silverlight + Flash) will be too costly Any out-of-the-box or bright ideas / alternatives

I have a file .fla and some other files like .as(I think they are actionScript classes dependent of the fla). But I am trying to create the swf with adobe flash. So I open the fla and I do: File - export movie but the resultant swf file is less size than the original swf file because I think it is not including the dependent *.as files.

I am having an XML file which I am reading in Flash/AS3. I store the loaded XML into a variable say: parentXML. From this parentXML, I am creating two XMLs say child1XML and child2XML, depending on certain conditions.The problem I am facing is that when I change a property of a node in any XML, it gets changed in the other XMLs also, wherever it was addedWhat I think is happening is that in actual no new node is getting added in the child XMLs, rather just the reference is getting added.here is a snippet of the code I am using:[code]

Each file links to 1000+ pdfs, so i'd like to avoid doing this one at a time. Is there a way to export the results of the find function to a .xml or .txt file?
