ActionScript 2.0 :: Handling URL Loader Error Event

Dec 6, 2006

There is a file (php script) stored remotely on the server and I want to read it into flash using AS3.0's URLLoader. However, if I unplug my cable just before reading the file, and attempt to read the file, I want to capture an Error event in some error handler, which would mean "internet connection is down, file can not be accessed". I am reading the AS3.0 documentation now for 2 hours already (mainly: "Handling asynchronous errors in an application" and "Events of URLLoader class"), but I didn't stumble across an example of how to catch an Error event of the URLLoader object when reading a remote file from the server. However I took all possible events I could find (even those which are not necessary at all), and tested them in the following code:

Code:
public function URLLoaderTest( ) {
_loader = new URLLoader( ); // _loader is private var of this class
configureListeners(_loader);
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("url_with_php_script");
_loader.load(request);
[Code] .....

This code traces tons of data, when executed with internet connection up:
Code:
openHandler: [Event type="open" bubbles=false cancelable=false eventPhase=2]
progressHandler loaded:10 total: 30
httpStatusHandler: [HTTPStatusEvent type="httpStatus" bubbles=false cancelable=false eventPhase=2 status=0]
completeHandler data: 1165428133
but it traces NOTHING (?!),

If the connection is down (whether closed by firewall, or cable-unplugged). So that basically means, none of the above events is fired, none of them takes care of the errorHandling in case of no-internet-connection (or if for some reason we can't reach the server atm). Any ErrorEvent i can use to catch such (connection down) Error Event? Or do I have to use Timer class instead to check wether the server responded in some time or not? I would like to leave this as the last option.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Loader Never Fires Complete Or Error Event

Sep 13, 2010

I have a Loader class which I'm using to load an image:

Code:
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest('https://some website path to .png');
var loader:Loader = new Loader();
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, error);
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, done);

[Code].....

The code above works when I run it from FlashDevelop but fails when it runs from a website. The domain is protected by a crossdomain file which allows the website I'm calling it from. I've tried other https requests to the same domain using URLLoader and those work fine. This code never calls Event.COMPLETE or IO_ERROR and no alert error comes up.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Event Handling & Architecture Design - Event Dispatched Automatically At The End Of An Animation?

Jan 3, 2010

The app I want to build is an interactive map for a site I'm designing. In a nut shell, students looking to enter an exchange program should be able to use the map-image (as in, an actual 'map of the world') to preview possible destinations (I've attached an image of the two basic states to clarify).

After an introductory animation, I want a mouse-over to trigger a function that populates the map-image with a series of buttons. I need the buttons to be distributed according to information in an XML file (ie. x/y coords, some information text, and an animation to load upon being clicked). I want each button to call a mouse-over function that loads info data from an XML field and place it in a dynamic text field at the top. Then, I want each button, when clicked, to call a function that animates replacing the map-image with an image of the corresponding travel destination. Finally, I want a button on each image that will clear that image from the stage and call the function that populates the map so the process can start again.

I'm working out of a couple of books on AS3, but I'm a little hazy on how I ought to be constructing this thing. So here's the first place I've run aground: After the intro animation, I want the user to mouse-over the stage and have a second animation play (clearing away the introductory text), and I want the conclusion of the clearing animation to immediately call the map-populate function; but I don't want a mouse-over to have any effect until the introductory animation is finished. Is there an event dispatched automatically at the end of an animation? What is the event listener class?

I'm not sure if I should be storing each of these animations in an independent .fla file or if I should create them on all one timeline and have the program redirect to specific frames.

ActionScript 3.0 :: ZendAMF Error Handling - Make The PHP File Throw An Exception That Gets Traced As An Error Message

Jul 7, 2010

i am currently trying to learn ZendAMF, but i have a hard time troubleshooting which makes learning it quite hard. Is there a way to make the PHP file throw an exception that gets traced as an error message in AS3 (not Flex), the only error i seem to be able to get is "Error #2044: Unhandled NetStatusEvent:. level=error, code=NetConnection.Call.Failed", but it tells me jack ****.

i have gotten ZendAMF working, i just want to know how i can make error handling better, so that as an example can use PHP to tell flash that no results were found, or that the typed text was invalid. Is it better to use AS3 to check if the field was filled properly?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Loader Event.INIT Fires But Loader.content Is Null?

May 9, 2009

The title describes the problem: Loader.load() is firing the INIT event, but in my listener it's reporting loader.content as null. The description for INIT event is "Dispatched by the associated LoaderInfo object when the properties and methods of the loaded SWF file are accessible."I'm loading a lot of JPG images, and 95 percent of the time it works fine; the init listener fires and reports valid loader. content.I absolutely need loader.content available because I need to set the bitmap smoothing property to true.I've tried using Event.COMPLETE and it has the exact same problematic behavior.

ActionScript 3.0 :: ADDED Event In Loader.load And Loader.loadBytes

Sep 13, 2010

I got this very strange behavior from FlashPlayer debugger 10.1 r82. When I call loader.load method, no ADDED event is dispatched to the loader object. But if I open the file and call loader.loadBytes instead, an ADDED event is dispatched to the loader object. I suspect the ADDED event is dispatched because the content is being set as the child of Loader object, but why in the other case it is not dispatched?

Event Handling On Multiple Instances Of One Mc

May 17, 2010

I have a problem with event handling. I'm working on a calendar, on which events can be listed. With actionscript i loop through an XML file with the days (and if there, the events for that day). So far so good. Where it goes wrong is this: I only want to display blocks with the day numbers on it. When you click on a day, a box pops up and shows the event's for that day.

This is what i did: created a movieclip with classname mc. loop trough the xml file and for each day create a new instance of mc with the day number as text on it. This al works, but now i want to add an eventhandler for each day. How to do this?

Flex :: Keyboard Event Handling?

Jul 31, 2009

I'd like to arrange things so that I have a chain of keyboard event handlers in my flex application, all of whom are queried when key down events occur. Basically, when a visual component is on screen, it is a candidate for handling a key press event. Something like this (clearly this is pseudocode):

<application handles_keys="F5, F6">
<tabGroup>
<tab1 handles_keys="pgup, pgdn">
<control handles_keys="0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9" />

[code]...

I have a class written that will respond to the key events the way I want it to, so how do I register one or more instances of this class to have the results I want? Also, note that there are some situations where this class should receive events that would ordinarily be handled by a UI component. The TAB key is the main example; I have a few cases where I want my key down event handler to fire even when the focus is on a text field.

ActionScript 2.0 :: XML.onLoad Event Handling?

I have a class with a XML object in it. In one of the class' methods, I tell the XML object to load a document. Before I do that, I set up the onLoad event to call one of the class' other methods. The problem is that in that handler function, I can't seem to access any of my class' data. If I try to use the "this" pointer, I'm getting the XML object not my class.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Question On Event Handling + Functions?

Jul 25, 2011

I'm trying to write a function, that would load XML file when I click an object. Now, I want to have one function for all the objects, and just transfer the proper name of XML file each time I click a different object.So, I think it should look like:
 
Object1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, LoadXML("XML1.xml"));
Object2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, LoadXML("XML2.xml"));

I'm not sure about "LoadXML("Xml1.xml") though.So I click Object1 - LoadXML with parameter "XML1.xml" is being called.Now, the LoadXML function would look like:

function LoadXML(evt:MouseEvent, urlXML:String):void{
some code
}
 
The problem is, that LoadXML has two parameters - how do I call it?I wrote in the beginning var evt:MouseEvent and just call LoadXML as LoadXML(evt, "XML1.xml")but then I get error message:"Implicit coercion of a value of type void to an unrelated type Function"

AS3 :: Flex - Unload Module Event Handling?

Mar 25, 2011

I am developing an AIR app. In the main app I have a module loader 'mainModuleLoader'. I am creating modules as separate mxml files using the <mx:Module> tag. And I am loading such a module in mainModuleLoader dynamically using actionscript. Everything works fine.For the module which I am creating as mxml files, I would like to know how to add an unload event handler. So that, whenever I call mainModuleLoader.unload(), the unload event hander is triggered from inside the module.mxml. I have tried the following without any success.

<mx:Module creatingComplete="init()" unload="unloadHandler()"/>
<mx:Module creatingComplete="init()" remove="unloadHandler()"/>

The problem with the second statement above is that it triggers the unloadHandler even if some child is removed inside the module. I have also tried to add the following in the action script.

private function init()
{
this.addEventListener(ModuleEvent.UNLOAD, unloadHandler);

ActionScript 2.0 :: Event Handling Using NetStream.onStatus?

Nov 8, 2010

I am trying to detect the end of a streaming video using NetStream.onStatus in AS2. It worked like a charm in a Flash app but I started having problems when I decided to put it in a separate AS class. Here's the snippet -->

class MyClass
{
�.
// Properties & variables

[Code]....

The code works fine and fires an event when the stream stops (I get the trace output without a hiccup). Problem is: it doesn't seem to recognize MyMethod function - or any other method of this class for that matter - for some reason! Just ignores it! When I set trace traps inside MyMethod they don't fire.
