Is it possible to dynamically load an XML file but keep the location and name of the XML private ?I have an XML file that contains users names and email addresses. I would like a way to make it difficult for people to get access to this XML doc
View 1 RepliesAll I'm trying to do is load an external .swf file into a precise location on the stage of my existing Flash file. I've spent an hour and a half on this site search and found nothing. What do I add to my loadMovie command to place the file at specific x,y coordinates?
View 3 RepliesI created a simple button that displays an error messeage: "error opening 'url" when I test the movie, but does play and opens in browser after publishing. However, it won't open in the browser in a different location. I pasted the html code in a web page but it doesn't work there nor opens in the browser in a differnet location from where it was originally published and saved. Why is that?
View 13 Replieshere is a snippet of my code in an as file
ActionScript Code:
class PoolBall extends MovieClip {
private var poolBall:MovieClip;
[code].....
there are classes definitions where all their methods are private my question is why are they private, because i've tried a code wherein i changed all the private access modifier to public and nothing changed!
what if you make an instance of that class with all its method private, how are you be able to access that on another class. coz i know private methods are only accessible to the class where they are declared! will the instance of that class be able to access the superclass's private methods!
on private variables, it's still not clear to me as to why make a private variable and then use a getter and setter, when you can simply make it public! are these variables called static?cause on the way i understand it private functions and private variables are static?
ActionScript Code:
private var __milena:LoadVars;
private function Loadprom(prom:String):Void {
[code].....
Okay so you've got your private vars in your AS2 Class, you think they're all safe right? Wrong.
Doing a trace(MyClass.myvar); will spit out an error that the var is private and you can't touch it.
But a trace(MyClass["myvar"]); will work perfectly fine. You can use it normal, without any setters getters outside the class.
Is there a way to protect against this? I think this is a huge security flaw. I know it's simple OOP, but a private var in an object should have rules.
How do I call a private function from an external ActionScript3 document? I'm working in Flash Builder 4, and I need to call a private function from an external AS3 document. I think I've imported it correctly....
import myapp.utils.WebcamFaceDetector;
import myapp.utils.FaceDetector;
But I want to call a function from "FaceDetector". Here's the part of the code in FaceDetector...
public class FaceDetector
{
private var detector :ObjectDetector;
private var options :ObjectDetectorOptions;
[Code]....
I want to call "private function FaceDetector()" to initiate at a certain point in another AS3 file. How do I properly declare it and get it to run?
I'm trying to load a live swf (an online game .swf file) within a private swf (My own client)
I'm using this code:
ActionScript Code:
var loader:Loader = new Loader();
loader.load(new URLRequest("URL"));
addChild(loader);
Which works perfectly apart from the program (when run) causes this error:

I'm not sure why but the Fonts.as seems to crash the program... I decompiled it and found nothing really important inside the file... so I was wondering if it's possible to skip-loading the Fonts.as file... I can't delete this file/edit it due to it being a live .swf and not mine...
EDIT: I just re-looked at the coding and noticed it has similar coding to mine... could my code and this code be interacting be why it doesn't run?

_-0Jy = new _-1Nn(_-0DE, this);

is there a difference between classifying a function 'private' or 'private static' in a singleton? It seems that they both do the same thing. Maybe some difference in performance?

I have this code for laoding an external SWF :
var holder:Loader = new Loader() holder.load(new URLRequest("animation.swf")) addChild(holder)
However, It loads this animation on the upper left corner. But I need to load it on a specific location, for example 120 px to the right and 70 px from up...
Another thing I need to do, is to load this movie "animation.swf" on a "deeper" layer, because I am creating a border that has to be over the animation... how do I do these two things ?

how to change the default location that comes up when saving a new flash file.
For some reason, when I go to save a .as file that i've created in flash it choose some deeply buried folder from a project I haven't worked on in ages. I have no idea how it got set up to do that, but if possible I would love to have it default to the last location I saved a file.

View 1 RepliesI'm attempting to create a template with one simple change to the file output location. I need the .swf file to placed in a subfolder, i.e. "output/filename.swf" Instead of the default "filename.swf"My problem is, if I edit the output file name field in publish settings in any way, the export file name is now locked, meaning if i have used my new template to create 3 fla files, they will all be named the same thing and replace one another in the output folder i've created. (trying to eliminate the need to open the publish settings menu here)I was hoping there was a variable like ${filename} or something i could use, but cannot find something like that.

View 1 RepliesSo I have a .swf file that loads in xml and such. Now I want to have a flash file load that into it, but when I do the loaded .swf loses the location of its files to load?
So.
File A - the loader
File B - load swf
File C - load swf xml file
All sit in the same folder
if I open file B, it reads file C no problem
if I open A that loads in B, it loses location of C and it dont load the xml? I am on access network files.
i want save a xml file without select location.
Code:
_xml = <xml><test>data</test></xml>;
var ba:ByteArray = new ByteArray();
ba.writeUTFBytes(_xml);
var fr:FileReference = new FileReference();
fr.save(ba, "1.xml");
I'm trying to do some restructing of a flash codebase, and I was wondering if anyone could clarify something for me as I'm unsure whether what I'm trying to do goes against a fundamental priciple of flash development or I'm being confused by the Flash CS4 user interface(I've got a java development background, so some of the interaction between fla files and the like is somewhat difficult at times to get my head around). I've done several searches but can't seem to find any similar problems, apologies if any exist.
Basically, I want to restructure my codebase and move my fla files around by putting them at a different location in the directory structure.
Existing structure:
basecompany namecomponent name
where fla files are stored in base, and code is stored in company namecomponent name, and code in said location is in the company name.component name package.
What I want to do is move my fla files from base to component name for each individual project. The actual location of the code is unchanged, but the fla files no longer compile, giving me a 5001 error - package name does not reflect location. I'm assuming that this is because the relative location is different - as far as the fla file is concerned, the code it is referencing is located at component name, not company namecomponent name. Is it possible to make the CS4 publisher understand that the fla file is not at the root of the package structure, and if so how?
