ActionScript 2.0 :: How To Make SWF Not To Save With Loaded Contents
Oct 9, 2009
I'm using my dynamic library to load all the photos & descriptions from an XML file. The photo upload is being done by a PHP page that edits the XML every time I upload/change/delete any data. The problem is, the *.swf seems to get saved, and doesn't check the XML after the edit is being done. (it works fine if i load the page again from another PC). How do I make my swf not getting saved with the loaded content? I just want the applet to load + check the xml + load everything written in there every time any PC loads it.
Here is the *.fla.
album.zip
The XML looks like this...
Code:
<photos><image><addr>
*photo name textnode*
</addr><desc>
*photo description textnode*
</desc></image></photos>
the reason i ask is, instead of creating a variable for each and every bit of stuff that in the swf (created texboxes, movieclips) can it just be one big save?
I'm aware this is possible in AS3, but Im working in AS2... and (to make things difficult) I'm working on an offline application. It is going to be distributed via CD, will run through the application and then save the text inputs (basically an order form) as JPEG (unless it's possible to save to PDF - but as not all computers will have PDF writer I assume this is impossible)Am I correct in thinking I need to utilise the Bitmap Class? I'm using SWF Studio to wrap the application
I have created a simple Flash file using actionscript 2 (CS3) that allows a user to enter text into an input text field and then print the results. Now what I want to do is allow the user to save the information they've typed in a file of some sort. I would prefer a .pdf, but I'm not married to that format.

I want to make a web radio and i want to have a box displaying the current song playing and the song that is going to be loaded after.
In fact i need a solution to the first one as the second is the same.
The streaming provider is going to provide me with a txt file that is going to be refreshed every time the song changes .
So we have a txt file changing it's contents , now how can i make the swf refreshing it self to read the new changed txt file and displaying it ?
The best solution would be the swf refreshing every time the txt changes but i believe this isn't possible. So how can i at least refresh it let's say every 2 minutes or so ?
I loaded an external swf into flash using loadMovie. The loaded movie has a hidden button which does some actions. How can I, by clicking on a button on flash execute the actions of the button which exists on the loaded swf?
after loading an external movie clip called "mv_frame" into the main flash file , i need to access a movie clip inside the loaded movie called "hit" in as2 we do that using the point (.) to navigate into movie levels , but my question is how to do that in AS3?
can I make the flash movie full screen (filling entire area of browser window and continue to do so on window resize) AND load an external swf into that movie so that external swf does not get stretched but remains at 100% its default size?
I was trying to create a preloader that preloads content loaded by the LoadVars() Object. For some reason, the getBytesLoaded and getByetesTotal variables of the LoadVars object kept retuning a null value. Below's how I do it:
PHP Code:
var news_lv = new LoadVars(); var url = "news.aspx" news_lv.load(url);
How I can reload/refresh contents that have been loaded by an external XML file. I have a XML file that has more than one parent node. When I click on a arrow button(to go to the next one) it does not reload or refresh the thumbnails.

I have created 2 textfields: an input textfield at level 0 with an instance name of input_txt and a dynamic txt box in a loaded movie at level 20 with an instance name of output_txt. How do I get the text that is input into level 0 to appear into the textbox at level 20?
I loaded a swf from external. using loader class. But if i check with the width and height of the loader is differes from loader.contentLoaderInfo.width.
From this statement i came to know the loader gets the width of all hidden objects, which are already outside of the stage area. But now I need to increase the size of the stage contents only..
I tried to make auto scroll for contents. It works but someting is wrong [AS] function core() { buttons_height = 566.3; //this is the height of the contents (buttons) mask_height = 319; //this is the height of the mask (mask) the_speed = 6; if (mask.hitTest(_root._xmouse, _root._ymouse, false)) { mousepos = _ymouse; [Code] .....
But when the contents of someArrayCollection change, it leaves the combo box too small:How can I trick the combo box into automatically resizing to fit the label of the largest item?
I am Developing a flash site, I made it full screen and centered the content my flash contains a jpg photo with a certain size. My question is I want my site to be full screen and fit the window dimensions and the content will be scaled depending on the screen dimensions without the content being bad quality whatever the screen resolution (1042*786 or 800*600) or any dimensions. I want to make my site looks the same for all screens. I reached to make the flash full screen with no margin but with no scale means that it will be fixed at certain dimensions i choose it inside the swf dimensions. I want to know how to make my content full screen and scalled at any screen dimensions. How to make this without the quality is affected and if there is a certain dimensions that the flash must be of.
I have built a simple Flash application that will be presented using a projector, the application will show messages in the form of questions that will come from a simple flat-file text file or XML file.
In addition to this I would also like to be able to add my own messages using a simple HTML form.
I've been looking around the web for some resources, but have been struggling to find what I am looking for. The basic idea is that the flash application will loop through these different messages from the XML, but then when a user types in a message that will also appear within these messages. Think of it as a sort of dynamic tag cloud.
I'm trying to create a Flex application that can automatically shrink based on the size of the components that it contains, so that a user can shrink it to a minimal view to see more of the HTML page it's embedded in.
I know how to change the size of the whole application using ExternalInterface, but I'm having trouble automatically figuring out how much the size changed when something is hidden or shown.
How can I hide one of the text fields and cause the VBox to shrink? I'm currently setting it to visible = false, but that doesn't seem to affect the parent VBox.
Once the VBox shrinks, how can I detect that the Application no longer needs so much space, and then go about figuring out how much less space it needs?
I've tried using ResizeEvent, but I haven't been able to get them to work, but I could be doing something wrong.
I'm currently trying to make the contents of a window draggable and disabling the scrollbars on it.
This is the code i got to create the window and add the contents to the window. The window creates flawlessly and the contents gets loaded too but i can't get the contents to drag by clicking on the contents itself.
I want to do is a simple transition that allows to me start some function (at the external swf!) to dismount the LOADED content. I'd like to change the external contents with intros and "outros" located on their own timelines.. It's a simple logic, but I dont know how to manage that.. Everytime I try some simple, it never happens.
I'm customizing an xml flash website and while I can handle all the html and xml well enough, but in Flash, I have no clue how to: Now go on the stage, and delete the contents of the last layer(background & pattern). Here, add from the library, the square movieclip, and name it mcBackColor(see attached image).And then to add your swf background in the "background & pattern" layer from the main.fla file.
I can change the name, but don't know how to delete just the contents of the layer and then add the new clip.I've made a slideshow before and that's all I can do.
im trying to use loader class to load a swf from a remote server, and FileReference.save() to save it on my hd. But i'm confused how to reference the loader obj that contains the swf as bytearray, and then write that bytearray out.
I'm building a flash movie for something at work and im loading in some images using an XML file but when i use a preloader it only preloads the XML file (as in just the text inside) and not the images.
This causes the movie to start playing without having the images loaded.Does anyone have any ideas about how i could get it to preload the contents/images being called in the XML file so it doesn't run as soon as the XML file is loaded.
I know that most of the media in web pages are temporarily stored to a temp folder or browser cache. Some are directly embedded in web pages so that we can see the source and can save them. But how to save images loaded using any other method? You can see what I am talking about here. Is there any solution to save images from this site's gallery?
I want to save a jpg of dynamically loaded swf's to the user's computer. Everything works great, except the loaded swf's don't appear in the jpg (everything on the stage renders fine). Any thoughts?
I'm using StageWebView to load mp4 & pdf files in my iPhone app (Adobe air 3.2 for iOS, in Flash CS5.5)
Below is the code I'm using to load the pdf file (same code to load an mp4 file).
I need to save the file on the iPhone, so the next time the user opens the app, i'll check if the file exist I'll load it using FileStream.open(filePath, FileMode.READ);Is there a way to save a file loaded using the StageWebView? [code]...
