I use an external txt to load some vars... works fine... But when I change the values of vars in the txt, and reload the txt in my swf, the old values are still displayed. Only when I take a new browser I can see the changed values. Does enybody know how to make sure I can load my changed vars from the txt without refreshing the internetbrowser?

I can't get code in my button to change the values displayed in my dynamic text boxes. I have a column of twelve dynamic text boxes which display numbers stored in an array. The array contains more than twelve numbers. I want to use buttons to refresh the information in the boxes (effectively creating a scrolling effect) so that the remaining contents of the array can be revealed as required. In the code below Stats1 etc. refer to the dynamic text. The array is called Stats4display. This shows the information fine.[code]I had hoped that by incrementing the value of x I could update all the dynamic text boxes with the next value along in the array.

I currently pull an html file into our site via iframe. (due to various factors, I cannot host the information in the html on our site and need to host it elsewhere). Is it possible to use a loader or other method to pull this information into flash?
View 2 Replieshave a swf that plays an flv in the flvplayback component. Currently, I have an external preloader that loads the swf, then once the swf is displayed the flvplayback component buffers. I would like the external preloader to also load the flv buffer. I had done it before it AS2 by having the first 50% of the preloader be the swf,and then have the flvplayback component invisible and have the last 50% of the preloader do the flv buffer.Maybe this is a crazy solution, is there a much easier and logical way to do this?My real problem is that my external preloader loads the swf and the preloader bar using the addChild method and I can't figure out how to have the swf communicate with it's sibling to update the progress bar on the progress of the flvplayback component.
View 3 RepliesI have an accordian which contains a repeater. That repeater takes an array as a dataprovider. The array in turn gets data from an XML file, on server, via HTTPService.
Now, data in the XML file gets modified after sometime frequently so I send the HTTPService after every 5 secs by using a Timer.
Problem: When the timer timesout after 5 secs, HttpService is sent, data is retrieved and showed in accordian but each time this happens, the accordian flickers. Thus, the flickering happens every 5 sec which is quite irritating.
Can I somehow remove the flickering to make the accordian update seemlessly? If it's the problem with accodian, will it persist if I use a DataGrid in place of accordian?
When executing dataprovider.refresh() for a chart component it redraws the chart. How do I determine when the chart is redrawn? I would like to take a png screen shot of the chart when it is fully drawn.
View 1 RepliesI have a swf with a link which loads another swf, the second swf is not visible unless you refresh the page or "back out and go in" again. have a look at [URL] If you click on the image labeled "Television" you should see the new swf but all you see is the television image link in the lower left (this is correct as you use this to (back out) return to the main swf. If you then go back and try again the new swf shows.

mctotal = _root.getBytesTotal();

I am working on my new portfolio, made entirely in AS3. I am well aware that it is quite graphic heavy, and the videos will slow down some of the other animations. What I can't seem to figure out is: why does it load fine initially, but once I click around to various sections previous sections seem to be slower and slower. When i refresh the site it runs quickly again (except in FF on a PC, thats another issue I'm working out). Is it simply just a memory issue? Aside from getting rid of videos/rasterized images, does anyone have any tricks as to how to get it to run smoother? Seems to me that if each section runs fine initially, but only run slow once different sections are loaded then perhaps there is a solution. [URL]

Once loaded they are fine, but if browser's cache is cleared, no go.

It works fine the first time people are on my site but when the page is refreshed or is gone back to sometimes the loader bar is just stuck and doesnt load.
I placed my AMFPHP folder inside my htmltemplate project folder, but now everytime i build it wants to 'refresh' the folder which takes forever. Is there a way to set it so that folder does not refresh each time? I put the AMFPHP folder in there so I can have a unique copy for my debug builds and leave the production build one alone.

I am working on a FLASH website that loads 3 flash movies (header, content and menu). The menu movie is displayed at the bottom. I am looking for a way to display the menu always at the bottom of the browser window (the visible bottom). This way, if the screen resolution of the user is too small, the user won't have to scroll to see the menu. I know it can be done. On this page, you can see that the copyright character is always displayed the bottom right of the browser window.[URL]

I'm attempting to get a variable to be displayed on a screen by the use of dynamic text thats been linked to a variable via the properties menu. The variable however is attached to a move clip and is within an onClipEvent.For some reason I can only get the varible to be displayed by putting it on a frame. So is there anyway i can get a varible to be displayed that is within a MC or can I use a command in that MC to change a varible thats stored in a frame?

View 2 RepliesHi Everyone,
I'm totally going to embarrass myself with my lack of actionscript knowledge... but, I hope someone can at least point me in the right direction.
I'm designing a flash site that has 5 buttons, each corresponding to a different company. When a button is pressed, the logo for that company will appear in the body of the site along with a brief company description. So far, that's all very easy I know. But, here's where it gets complicated (at least, for me):
I've set up shape tweens (25 to be exact) so that every logo can "tween" into any of the other logos. The goal is to have it so that when you click on one of the company's buttons, the logo will shape tween from the current logo displayed to the logo for the company button you clicked. Make sense? I hope so.
When a button is pressed, the script basically needs to find out what logo is currently displayed, so that it can know what shape tween movieclip to play.
I've set up all the tweens on the timeline with Frame Labels: logo1ToLogo2, Logo1ToLogo3 and so forth. And then Logo2ToLogo1, Logo2ToLogo3 and so forth...
