ActionScript 2.0 :: External XML Loads But Content Variable Remains Undefined?
Sep 5, 2005
what i have got is an external XML file that loads the news data into flash where it is there parsed and assigned to a dynamic text box and styled with a style sheet. Through trace() if found the xml gets loaded properly but when i upload it to a webserver it does not always load. Many times the variable just reads out undefined. If i refresh it a few times it will eventually load. This is not acceptable of course. It needs to try until it loads. I thought i had the code to make this happen but Im afraid im mistaken.here is the code, its inside the first frame of a simple swf with only the dynamic text box.
Code:
stop();
trace("1");
[code]......

I'm trying to make an empty movieclip (content) that loads an external swf move above some other movieclips after is is fully loaded, and another movieclip (stage_mc) hits frame 25. It needs to load behind and the stage_mc, then move above it when stage_mc hits frame25. I tried this code on the main timeline, and the main timeline is one frame.
[Code]...
and it's not working. I've also tried it without the this.onEnterFrame, and another variation on the content mc.None of these things are working.

I have a main.swf file. In first frame i load a background slideshow with this code:
[Code]...
My problem is that when the site loads the 1st time and click from the menu to go to the 2nd frame (1st content page) then i have to wait at about 3-4 seconds to load my html content. The same for the 3rd frame. If these two content pages load for the 1st time, then the pages open immediately. What can i do for this? Is there a way to open this content pages more quickly, or place a loader, and with what code?

I wanna create some sort of actionscripted typewriter which loads its content from an external file, but i can't seem to get the code to work properly!
This is what i got till now:
2 layers:
- one with a textfield called 'textbox'
- one with the actions
A textfile which contains: waarde=Wannaloadtextfromanexternaltextfile!
4 frames, in the first frame i load the textfile this way:
[AS]q = 1;
loadText = new loadVars();
loadText.load("data.txt",this);
loadText.onLoad = function(success) {
[code]...
The problem is that when i assign the value of "text" in the first frame this way : <-- text = "Wannaloadtextfromanexternaltextfile!"; --> (witout the comment tags ofcourse) the typewriter works fine but when i load the var from the textfile nothing happens, the trace works fine and displays the contents of the var but the typewriter displays nothing.
the weird this is that when i add this after all the code in frame 1 it works fine: text = "azerty";
But when i add this it doesn't: text = "a";
So when i overwrite the var with the azerty value suddenly it contains the correct value in the next frame, when i assign only one character to it the script doesn't work anymore.

Trying to augment the Kirupa tutorial "ActionScript Text Animation" [URL] to take an external text file. When I switch out the line:
text = "There is only one..."
with:
myLoadVar = new LoadVars ();
myLoadVar.load("davetextdoc.txt")
myLoadVar.onLoad = function (success){
if (success == true) {
output.variable = "text"
output.text=myLoadVar.text;
}}
I get the word "undefined" repeatedly loading itself. The text file is properly formatted (text=dave's text here...) I've tried untold permutations to self-solve.

[URL] Above is a link to view the project I'm working on. Once the site loads if you go to the "Contact Us" page the content doesn't load correctly. I'm using an extrnal .xml and .css files for the content. I'm also embedding the fonts dynamicly. If I test the file locally on my computer is works fine the image loads as it's supposed to and content looks correct. However when I post the files to the server (which work exactly the same way) I get the white box when you can see from the link above. I'm at a complete loss as to how to to fix this.

I am using a content loader through AS3 to load some images and then later pushed into an array. I have pushed my image file paths in to an array (arrayImages). But when the loader loads the images it doesn't load the images based on the order they are listed in the arrayImages, instead they were loaded based on their file sizes. Is there anyway that these can be loaded in the order they were pushed to the array? Below is the code that i use to load the images.
function funcLoadImages() {
for (var i:uint=0; i<arrayImages.length; i++) {
var ldrImageLoader:Loader=new Loader();
ldrImageLoader.load(new URLRequest(arrayImages[i]));ldrImageLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener( Event.COMPLETE,pushLoadedImagetoAnotherArray);
}
}

This swf file (attached) will load the xml content (rss) when I Publish Preview it in Flash CS3 (AS2), but not in the browser. This is an aggravating problem and think that it may be flash stopping it from accessing the content but frankly I have no clue.

I'm using Flash CS3 Pro. and actionscript 2.0 for my flash documents.I have a flashfileA.swf which is a picture of a rotation shoe (view here)it has a slider bar that calls the action to zoom while rotating. if you checked it out, it works fine.
the code I have for the slider is this:
Code:
this.perc=0 ;
handle.onPress = function(){
this.startDrag(false,0,0,375,0);
[code]....
so I have flashfileB.swf that I load that flashfileA.swf into. Initially, I was getting pages of pages of "Security Sandbox Violations".
I added the code:
Code:
System.security.allowDomain("*");
in flashfileB.swf and that seemed to get rid of all of the violations but the slider doesn't zoom the shoe when I'm using it in flashfileB.swf I need to get the zoom to work while it's loaded within flashfileB.swf and I'm assuming it has to do with the way I coded it.

And I have gallery.swf file that loads subgallery.swf.The jpeg images and both swf files are in the same folder.When I test gallery.swf it loads subgallery.swf but subgallery.swf doesn't load images. When testing subgallery.swf alone, it loads jpeg files.Is there any limitation or setting preventing external swfs loading other content?

One last time and then I abandon this idea of importing XML files forever
I have attached a sample .fla file plus folders with the other files in the Variables not found only on "simulate download" post if you want to try running it.
There are 42 XML text files and 42 buttons on stage. In 'Test Movie' all 42 external XML files load perfectly every time - switch to 'Simulate Download' and keep clicking. It won't take long to "break it" and an 'undefined' will appear. But if you keep clicking, the same text will be defined on the next time around - so this isn't simply a case of the array not being created properly.
This is the frame in the preloader that creates the array that holds the XML files - it loops until they are all loaded - the counter is set and incremented in the other preloader frames:
Code:
function loadXML(loaded) {
if (loaded) {
//loops back to load all text
[Code].....
'textNum' will never fail to show the number clicked when 'undefined' appears - but 'textForStage' which is the actual text in the array will show 'undefined' in the output window.

I've an Accordion component in my Flex application and works great, but I found a little glitch in its behaviour.While one of its menus is opening, it shows a white rectangle and, when it completely loads, it shows me the content. But I want to show the whole content without this "white" rectangle when it loads.For example:
Image 1: My Accordion is ready to use
Image 2: I want to open another submenu, so while it's opening, a white rectangle is shown (I was really quickly to take an screenshot)
Image 3: Recently opened submenu is fully loaded.Here is my source code:
<mx:Accordion id="accordion" width="100%" height="90%" verticalGap="0" horizontalGap="0" creationPolicy="all">[code]...........

I have a situation where I am reading a wide variety of data from an XML file, and if a particular bit of data is not there, I simply want to hide a button. Before I go further, all my XML data in and out works fine, that's not a problem.
If I have this node in my XML:
Code:
<name1></name1>
read it in, assign to a variable and check that variable in the debugger I get this:
Code:
Variable _level0.assocImageName1 = undefined
This is fine. It has no value, so it's undefined.
Now, if I do the most simple of If statements this check just doesn't work. I've tried something like:
Code:
if (_root.assocImageName1 == undefined) {
_root.linked._visible = false;
} else {
break;
}
Now the odd thing, is that with quotes ("undefined") or without, this doesn't work reliably. It seems to just run right past the If and perform the hiding of the button regardless.
Also, if I put something in the XML like so:
Code:
<name1>data</name1>
I get this in the debugger:
Code:
Variable _level0.assocImageName1 = "data"
And check for that like this it doesn't work:
Code:
if (_root.assocImageName1 == "data") {
But oddly enough, if I take the quotes off it does work. What's going on there? I thought you also had to always use quotes when testing a string?
