Is the onLoad function the only way to find out if a file exist or not. As for now. I'm looping through a xml file. if image exist i add the filepath to an array if not, i ignore it. But if i check the filepath with onLoad. All the images in the xml file are loaded. I dont want to load the files yet.
var fileFound:Boolean = new Boolean();
var fileExists = new LoadVars();
fileExists.onLoad = function (success)

I have some button code on frame one. that looks like this:
[AS]on (release, keyPress "<Enter>") {
mylogin = new LoadVars();
mylogin.password = password;
[code]....
basically sending and recieving variables from a php page. I want to be able to specify what my textbox on frame 5 says in the onLoad statement. Currently the only way I have been able to get the text to display is either to use the textbox variable and declare that in the onload statement, or to put textbox.text = mylogin.message; on the actual frame.
Is there a way to check file name case when loading a file? For example:

View 2 Repliesonce a video file has been encoded into an flv is there a way to confirm the compression settings? Say if I wanted to double check that I had the right setting or duplicate setting of a flv I encoded earlier, is there a way to access this info?Like QT you can choose Movie Inspector.In QT I opened a flv file that was encoded with a Max data rate: 50kbps (I know, I know very low but it's the setting I was given). I then selected Movie Inspector thinking it could do the trick but it listed the data rate as 359.68 kbits/s.is if I encoded at a Max data rate: 50kbps how is 359.68 listed as it's data rate in QT?

The scenario is that I have a file that I am loading with loadMovieNum and all is working successfully.

View 2 RepliesIs there a way to Check if the xml file that your loading in has changed since you loaded it in last? I want to check to see if it has changed before i reload it into flash.
ActionScript Code:
var myXML:XML;
var myLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
Here's a little script i wrote to check for a serial code to a xml file, and allow the user to use the flash document. this code seems pretty useless, but in all reality you can sell you flash document, with having users to input a serial code in order to use the flash document.
which might allow flash developers to make money on such a pointless project. eg. sell games, as a (.exe, or a .app) file, or make then buy a serial online an play it online. or sell very useful programs, for real money, and don't have to worry about people using it for free.

NOTE: i am not responsible for any lost of anything due to this actionscript code that you have choose to use at your own lost, of hackers, cheating you to use your flash document for free.
I've got this code which works out which day it is and shows a file based on that info. But when the day changes the file doesn't. I wonder if anyone would be kind enough to look at this for me. I just need to set up something to listen out for the day and make the change.

I've set up a shared object using user_so.data.flashVar = value.This works fine, but as it is being used to store details for saved games, users could easily edit their saved games to cheat their way through the game. Is there any way to check if a shared object has been altered outside of Flash, or are there any other methods of saving files in AS2 that I'm unaware of?
