ActionScript 2.0 :: Dynamic Flash Sometimes Fails To Load Data From External .txt File?

Sep 2, 2010

I have this Simple Flash banner, that loads text, colors, and entire banner hyperlink from external .txt file into flash.For importing text into dynamic text fields with �vars� set i use

loadVariables("http://www.mysite.com/DIR/data.txt","");

For importing hyperlink onto flash button i use two layers:On blank layer i use:

loadVariables("http://www.mysite.com/DIR/data.txt","");

On button itself i use:

on (release) {
getURL(link1, "_blank");
}

Button has instance set also.Everything works fine and nicely.I use this HTML script to use banner in any website i like:

<object classid="clsid27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"
codebase="http://active.macromedia.com/flash4/cabs/swflash.cab#version=4,0,0,0"
id="name" width="468" height="60">

[code]....

Ok So everything works nicely. I load flash i load text, and i also load hyperlink. So after a happy job i went to sleep and other morning i tried to enter website with HTML code, that shows flash and i noticed:

1. Some times flash loads animation, but doesn't load my data.txt and places where dynamic text should be are blank, also hyperlink doesnt work, because it also seems to fail to load.

2. So i press "Refresh" on explorer and data loads perfectly.

3. So i keep pressing refresh some times try to turn of explorer and i noriced that some times it fails to load data and only non dynamic flash animation is played, and some times it loads it nicely.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Load Data From An External Script (same Domain) Fails

Oct 31, 2009

Below is the script I'm using to pass a parameter to a script in the same server (and folder) as the flash file. It gives "null" as the required variable (use_url) value, instead of what the script is giving. The script itself works, when tested in a browser.

What it should do - it receives a value for "lesson_id" variable, passes it on to a script "movie_url" and receives a response with a new variable "real_url" and it's value.[code]...

Flash :: SWC File Fails To Load In Design Mode?

Feb 10, 2012

I am exporting an SWC via Flash Professional CS5 version 11.0.0.485 with the latest Flex Component Kit (2.0.0) installed in the Extension Manager. In Symbol properties, I'm Exporting for Actionscript in Frame 1 with the Class name equal to the Symbol name.

I've imported the SWC into Flash Builder 4.6 with all the different available SDKs.

With all of them I get an error in Design Mode

"SWC File Failed to load. Any component dependent on this SWC will not be displayed in the design mode."


If I instantiate the component via the Source it runs ok and in the browser I see the component.

I know I could just say "whatever, I don't need Design mode" but I'd like to know what is happening.

Any ideas?

Actionscript 3 :: Testing Movie With Flash IDE Fails To Load File From Localhost

Feb 25, 2010

I have created an SWF that loads an XML file from [URL], but I get this error when running the movie using Test Movie in the Flash IDE.

Error #2044: Unhandled ioError:. text=Error #2032: Stream Error. URL: http://localhost/flash/Projects/MEL/Quiz/Quiz/bin/xml/quiz.xml
at Main/loadConfig()[D:wwwwebrootflashProjectsMELQuizQuizsrcMain.as:126]
at Main/configLoadError()[D:wwwwebrootflashProjectsMELQuizQuizsrcMain.as:143]

[Code].....

Trouble is running the SWF in a browser locally does work, it only throws these errors in the Flash IDE.

I have tried a adding wildcard crossdomain.xml file in my root web directory and setting the SWF publish properties for local playback security to Allow network only, but neither of these have solved my problem.

I know Windows 7 handles localhost name resolution differently compared to previous versions of Windows but I have even added 127.0.0.1 localhost to my hosts file to no avail.

CS3 - Make XML Data From External File Display Inside A Dynamic Text Field?

Mar 23, 2010

I have combed the Web and I can't seem to find the answer. All I want to do is display some html-formatted text, located within an external XML file, in a dynamic text field in Flash CS3.

I don't have any code to supply because at this point the only thing I'm trying to display in the text field is "<b>This</b> is a <a href="http://www.google.com">test</a>." For this hypothetical example, I could call the text field myTextField. I just need to know how to format the AS3 code to get the XML to display inside myTextField.

Data Integration :: Load Individual Strings Of Text From An External File?

Feb 21, 2007

I trying to load indivual strings of text from an external file. example: I have a movie that navigates from frame to frame. on each frame I'd like a line of text to load into the movie. When the user navigates to the next frame the text loaded vanishes and is replaced by another line of text. This can be done with separate txt files, right but I was wondering if and how it could be done using one external text file.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Load Variable Data From An External XML File And Dynamically Displays The Item Names In A Menu - Arrays - Functions

May 18, 2005

I have been working on a Flash movie that loads variable data from an external XML file and dynamically displays the item names in a menu which may then be clicked to display other dynamically-loaded content that corresponds to the menu item that was clicked. I have now come to a standstill in the project as there is something I'd like to achieve but simply cannot work out how. This is my first attempt at working with XML in Flash and one of my early attempts at using variables. What I'm trying to achieve is; once the user has viewed the item's content, they can simply click "next" and "previous" buttons to display all of the content for the next or previous items in the XML document.

I know it probably sounds simple and I'm sure some of you could achieve this in 5 minutes (!) but I can't get my head around some of the coding. I assume previousSibling and nextSibling would come into play here as well as some sort of functions which access arrays of data for the previous and next items, but I'm just not sure how to correctly put these things to use. Rather than post my code and example images of the stage up here on the forums, I've created an html page here: [URL]

ActionScript 2.0 :: Loading Data From XMl File And Uses It To Run An If Statement. If Statement Fails?

Oct 10, 2008

The Flash movie contains 2 Text files, one Component button, and 1 component checkbox.The purpose of the application is to load an XML file(works)Populate 2 text fields with information from the XML file(works)Compare the two text fields, if they contain the same information then the checkbox, via AS is told to be selected. (Heres the problem);

Heres the code:

Code:
runCode_btn.onPress = function() {
data_xml = new XML();
data_xml.ignoreWhite = true;
data_xml.onLoad = function(success) {

[code]....

The idea behind this app is that its an electronic form. The user fills it out, the information is then sent to a newly created XML file, months later the open the XML file in flash, and Flash fills out text fields and check and or unchecks Checkboxes based on the XML data.CheckBoxes are mandatory.But I don't see how I'll be able to use them if i can't create and condition statements based on the loaded Data.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Load Dynamic Data Into Text Fields Within Flash (.swf)

May 2, 2011

I am trying to load dynamic data into text fields with in flash (.swf)  the system is a closed circuit (no internet & web access)  basically there are about 10 standalone computers connect through a network and one central computer  i created a flash which will be downloaded to all the computers at once and each computer has a unique (name).
 
My goal is to load  the different data into the text field for each computer:
 
Computer 1 would have winner 1
Computer 2 would have winner 2

and so one........

Steps the code should do..

1. call function and load the "unique (name)."  of the computer by going to ("c:/myharddrive/local.ini"); flash will reconize the "ini file to say "this is computer 1
 
2.then have the txt request come from("c:/CMS/MediaFiles/Data2.txt");
 
when i publish the file out there is no errors-
 
When I view the files on each computer there is no data  (blank screen")
 
so my guess it is not seeing the path for new URLRequest("c:/myharddrive/local.ini");
 
or
 
new URLRequest("c:/CMS/MediaFiles/Data2.txt");
 
can anyone breakdown the code and let me know how flash can go to those specific areas on each individual computer and pull the data into flash

[Code]....

ActionScript 3.0 :: Creating A New Instance Fails When Base Class Is Assigned To An External Class File?

Jul 22, 2009

I'm trying to create a new instance of a MovieClip when the original one has been used. Would sound easy enough. Just use: var

instanceName:ClassName = new ClassName();

the class name/mc in the library im trying to duplicate is MCg1 so

var instanceName:MCg1 = new MCg1(); right?

However, the particular object in the library i'm trying to duplicate has a base class that is an external class file (just to control it's drag drop functionality)... i.e baseclass is not set to the standard flash.display.MovieClip, or whatever the case maybe. So i end out with a: TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.

Adobe Flash Builder Http Data Service Call Fails Only After Export?

Dec 8, 2011

I wrote an app using adobe flash builder that makes an http data service call to a website.

When I build and launch the app it loads in my browser (the address in the broswer is C:Userspath omyapp.html) and works perfectly. However, when I upload the app to my website or even launch it from outside the project build directory, the HTTP service call fails with the popup

Security error accessing url
Destination: DefaultHTTP

Of course I googled this error and realized it may have something to do with a 'crossdomain.xml' in my web root directory. I tried this and it continued to fail.
Below was my crossite domain file

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE cross-domain-policy SYSTEM "http://www.macromedia.com/xml/dtds/cross-domain-policy.dtd">
<cross-domain-policy>
<allow-access-from domain="www.my_domain_for_http_service.com" />
</cross-domain-policy>

I'm using the free trial version of Adobe flash builder, but I do not see anything indicating that this has to do with the error.

Data from http service call is in xml format.

I've got a movieclip with a blank dynamic textbox inside. On frame 1 of this movieclip, I have the actionscript to load the contents of an external .txt file into the dynamic textbox. The problems are:

1. I have an <img> tag in the external .txt that doesn't work (actually, the text does wrap around where the img is supposed to be in the dynamic textbox, but the img itself is not appearing.
2. All <p> tags don't work, but <br> does.
3. I have an ampersand (&) in the .txt file and all text is cut off at that point when loaded into the dynamic textbox. I've tried escaping it (&) and using & to no avail.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Flash Pre-loader - Load An External SWF File

I'm very new to flash - I'm trying to use a pre-loader that loads an external SWF file.
