I'm making something like a dynamic Picture Viewer, wich should display Pictures named by photo1, photo2, etc. dynamically from an url I give the viewer as a parameter. Thats not my problem by now, my problem is that I try to give the viewer few "parameters" through a text-file
NumberOfPictuers=12
I load this file like this
loadNumber = new loadVars();
loadNumer.onLoad = function()

I'm writing code that takes data from mysql that's processed by a PHP script. It's actually a bit bizarre, at least to me. Anyway, here's some basic AS3 code that's moving toward what I want to do:
var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
var urlRequest:URLRequest=new URLRequest("receive.php");
urlRequest.method=URLRequestMethod.GET;[code]....
For some reason, the statement "trace(evt.target.data);" produces a whole pile of garbled text before the actual stuff that it's supposed to show Because of problem #1, I've had to include a throwaway variable at the beginning, otherwise the first variable I try to pass into AS3 comes back as undefined. This causes errors when I run my flash movie in the IDE, but when I run it from the browser it doesn't seem to have any effect.But this is the strangest thing of all whenever I make any changes to the database (and subsequently try to load data from different variables), the new variables come back as undefined. For example, let's say that I add another entry to the database, and decide to load students 2, 3, and 4 instead of 1, 2, and 3. When I do that, any new data I've added comes back as undefined, even though when I view the PHP output in my browser, it looks just fine.
And now for the REALLY bizarre part: I'll copy that output, paste it into my PHP script as an echo statement, comment everything else out, and my flash movie runs fine. Even though the output from the PHP script is exactly the same, it gives me errors.
I'm trying to load variables from an external .txt file into Flash MX and this is the code I'm using:
links = new LoadVars();
links.load("assignLinks.txt");
links.onLoad = function(success){
if(success) {
diovan = links.diovan;
diovanhct = links.diovanhct;
}}
trace(diovan);
trace(diovanhct);
(The text file has the following content: diovan=whatever&diovanhct=whateveragain&)
The trace outputs "undefined" for both variables. I also tried loadVariables instead of loadVars... same result. If this is a problem specific to Macs, whats the work around?
I'm trying to load data from an external textfile, called "config_flash.txt". It works perfectly if applying the fetched data is done within the same function where the loading is done. However, I would like to use the fetched variables in other parts of the script.
Here's what works:
Actionscript Code:
var varLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader(new URLRequest("config_flash.txt"));varLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,
[code]...
So, basically I want the variables/values defined inside the function to be available anywhere in the script. The error that the second code snippet causes is as follows: "1120: Access of undefined property text1/text2".
just a quick shoot here...okay I try to refresh updated textfile data every 2 seconds and it's works ok if I'm using normal delimiters and proper data arrangement in textfile such as
[Code]...
I just make a simple system login that the username & password loaded from textfile then I store in array..but the problem is when I doing tracing nothing was trace..?this is the code I'm using for the flash
Code:
lv = new LoadVars();
myArray = [];
lv.onload = function() {[code].............
I want to load the same external textfile in two different textfields. No problem. My freaky question is: Can I adapt the text a little in one of the two fields, more specifically: leave out the last three symbols/letters? For instance: Elvis would have been dead if he was still alive >>> and: Elvis would have been dead if he was still alive The only trick I can think of is embedding the font, but not embedding the > sign. Is that possible? I am using Verdana here.

View 1 RepliesI have my XML data loading into my SWF OK. However, is there any way to call that tag name instead of the child node number?So instead of something like this[code]...
View 2 RepliesI have an .SWF that is a "Share With A Friend" and the text fields are filled in and then the SWF sends the variables to sendToFriend.php and then the email is sent out.. The PHP is working fine and I have all the right codes to send that information from the SWF to to PHP, but the client wants another feature I can't figure out..
They want me to grab data from an XML and use those variables as well, because the XML will have the USER EMAIL and I need to grab the specific data from the XML and I can't find anything that does this..
I barely know where to start. Maybe a simple tutorial that doesn't just load the XML and display the content (I have found that), but rather something that loads the XML, then refers to a specific child and turns the text to a variable to get sent to PHP..
EXAMPLE XML
<client>Joe</client>
<email>JOE@JOE.com</client>
How do I load the XML and directly refer to the <email> information so my PHP file can grab "JOE@JOE.com" ???
I am trying to get my PHP variables from my load.php document to my flash-document.That all works fine and I am able to get my data down to flash variables inside my function.But, I would like to be able to access this data from outside of this function which gets the data - unfortunately I cant, or.. Don't know how to. I hope that you are able to shed a light upon my problem. So here goes, this is my code:
Code:
var myLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader()
myLoader.dataFormat = URLLoaderDataFormat.VARIABLES

I need to save and load data to and from variables. I know how to read from text-files, but not how to write to them. The text-files should work as a "database" for the high-score in a game, I cant use php cause the computer running the game wont be online all the time.
View 6 RepliesI'm wondering if it's possible to create variables in a for loop that uses an incrementing number in the variable name.
This is the code I've tried (as a long shot) but isn't working:
var i:Number;for(i = 1; i < 10; i++){ var ["number" + String(i)]:Number = i;}
trace(number5);
What I'm trying to create here is a series of variables called "number1", "number2", "number3", etc. Is there another way of doing it? I'd need them to be public (I think that's the term?), so they can be used elsewhere in the script.
I have an onEnterFrame function controlling all the movie clips in an array. The motion of each of these movie clips is controlled by a few variables speed, acceleration, etc that are modified on each enterFrame. I can't figure out how to create unique variables for each element in the array. At the moment my variables are the same for all the elements, and so the motions for each movie clip are the same.
I have used this code to add my movie clips into the array:
for(i = 0; i < starNumber; i++){ duplicateMovieClip(star, "star" + i, i); starArray.push(this["star" + String(i)]); }
Do I need to do a similar thing to create unique variables for each? Or is there something I need to do in my for(myClip in myArray) loop that is contained in my onEnterFrame function?
I'm trying to build a musicians site. I'm populating menus, the musicians page, and some other stuff with XML. getting all the attributes (of the artists CD) for each artist. Here's one artist entry in my XML file:
Code:
<ARTISTS>
<ARTIST>
<NAME>AP.9 FED-X</NAME>
[Code]....
Yeah, I don't know how to handle several CDs for each artist. I can see I need a nested loop, but do I store those CD attributes in an array, or create a variable like some_mc["CDLIST"+j] ???
Then I gotta think about building the discography movieclip. I'll worry about that later. What I got working so far is at [URL]
I'm working on a small validation script, to check elements of a data object for duplicates... it goes a little something like this (hit it!):
[Code]....
and continued my loop, it would work, but instead, it would catch the first duplicate, but miss the rest after that. Basically what I'd like to do is simple: If this record[i] is equal to record[i+1], skip record[i+1] and go through it again... I just can't seem to figure it out
So is there officially no way to load mp3s externally without the pause between loops? I need to know if I can rest at night or not. If it is absolutely without a doubt impossible, I will look at alternatives.
By the way, this would be for background game music. I need a seamless loop and we are using mp3s.
I have an empty SWF that's sole purpose is to call loadMovieNum and start the project. Each loaded movie has a few variables defined within them - unique to those loaded SWFs. Instead of declaring all the variables in each SWF can I declare all of them in one place, in the first frame of the empty loader it all starts from? I'm thinking I can then declare a variable which each loaded movie can increment as needed for me.
View 2 RepliesI am trying to load variables from a text file, and have them available from then onwards in the movie, globally so to speak.
While I can read the variable values in a loader function which executes when the text file is loaded, I don't seem to be able to keep those variables available afterwards.
Im new to placing external data into Flash. I just got CS3 and Im trying to use Flash to dynamically load XML data via a FlashVars call in the HTML.

We have implemented a Flash photo slideshow on our site and it works just fine for most of our users. Whenever the xml.load(success) returns false I have the Flash email me a debug report. For the life of me I can not find a common thread between all of these people having problems with the Flash. I don't think it's a cross-domain issue because it works for most people, and I have the crossdomain.xml files where they should be.

I have an Access Database (doesn't need to be Access, I can phpAdmin or mysql, whatever will work) that has a list of names. I want the user to open a Flash form and have the names load up into seperate input boxes for each name. The user can then change the names, move them, whatever, and then save the record. I want it to just overwrite the record. I donlt want create a new record. I cannot, for the life of me, figure this out. I have tried to find some tutorials but nothing makes sense. Is ASP a good way to go? I have been struggling with this for a week now.
View 3 RepliesI currently have a Flash app that gets populated by parsing data from an external XML file. However, I need to get the XML data into a (JSP) session and can't neccesarily have an external XML file--any suggestions? Can I put the XML string into a hidden input field in a form on the HTML? Can Flash communicate with that HTML? Or are one of the below methods recommended:
* FlashVars
* Flash Remoting
* Web services
* JavaScript - call JS function
* fscommand
* ExternalInterface
