I am trying to load variables from a text file and having a problem. i am using this code,
[Code]...
I am sure this is something simple, but have no idea what,
im trying to use the following code to load variables from a text file (and later a php file). The code is meant to put a movie clip called mcLoading to show that the text is on the way, and then fade the text in and show it on the stage. The whole code block is inside the constructor of a class.

I'm pretty inexperienced with actionscript, and I'm having the hardest time trying to figure out how to load variables from a file and send it to a dynamic text box. The content of an external file, "varload.txt", is "name1=John". Here is actionscript of my flash file:

I'm having with loading variables from a text file that is sitting on a Hard Drive rather than the server?
I would like each computer station to pull data from the server based on their individual Station IDs (which is defined in the text file on the hard drive).
The path to the text file is C:StationID.txt - I am having trouble with defining the PATH to the text file on the actual hard drive.
I have an odd problem in CS4/AS3 with one of my flash files where text is incorrectly rendered if the movieclip containing the text has a 3d matrix transform and quality is set to medium or low. It is easy to reproduce:
[Code]...
ok i have a movie clip with a dynamic text field being animated... i have a text file with this in it
&textline1=time
&textline2=place
&textline3=year
&textline4=month
now how do i make the movie clip to first go from frame 1 to 10( last frame in teh movieclip) with the text time and then when the movie clip starts again it should say place and so on and so forth.. depending on how many textline variables i define in the text file?
Has anyone here ever developed a function (or general library of relevant functions) that will allow one to find the inverse of a matrix? I've searched the forum archives, as well as the internet more generally, but haven't found anything. If anyone has some leads, I hope you'll pass them along.
If I don't hear anything within the next few days, I might try to develop something on my own, but I'd hate to do so if someone has already done the dirty work.
A solution to this problem would be very useful for 3-D work or anyone doing mathematical programming more generally.
I'm working on a function that checks for 2 things to pull up the correct .swf file. I have to check for 2 things
ˇ_global.theYear
ˇ_global.theDate
Is there a different way I could write this function to say something like:
checkAll(_global.theYear, _global.theDate) = function(){
loadMovie(_global.theYear,_global.theDate".swf", 1);
}
So when a button is pressed, it runs the function above and fills in the variable. Names in the .swf name, does that make any sense, am I on the right track? Because all the .swf file names are all consistent such as 2009_18.swf, 2007_5.swf., etc. The only problem I see is there are 2 sets of buttons, one when you press it sets the _global.theYear variable and the other sets the _global.theDate variable.
So would one button look like this:
mybtn.onPress=function(){
checkAll(2008,_global.theDate);
}
And the _global.theDate would be set with what the current var is set at as?
I've tired to load multiple variables from a php file like this :

But dosen't work , it display me only the first var, the most simple metode to do that.
I have a dynamic text box on my scene, and I have tried the following code:
Code:
var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
loader.dataFormat = URLLoaderDataFormat.VARIABLES;
loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, loading);
[code]....
This doesn't work, although if I put the vars.txt file in the same directory as the flash file it's fine.
Code:
loader.load(new URLRequest("vars.txt"));
Is there a way to load the vars.txt through the internet?

View 1 RepliesIs possible to load variables from a dynamic text box. On the stage I have a button and 2 text boxes, One is a dynamic box called "var_box" and it contains some variables that I input without loading any text file and the second one is another dynamic text box called "output_box", now when I press the button I want that the variables from "var_box" to be loaded in the "output_box", we tried a lot of different things
View 4 RepliesI am making an audio player app that collects variables based on javascript running on the page. By default it loads 2 mp3s, but I need to be able to re-assign the mp3s that it loads based on different javascript clicks.
I think what I want to do is assign the default 2 songs to variables on file load. Then call a function that re-assigns those variables to the javascript variables passed in. My question is - how do I create a function that only runs on initial load? I assume I could then use javascript to call a different AS3 function to stop the player, re-assign the variables, load the file, and then start it again.
I set up a simple dynamic text on my stage.[code]...
How do I load this valueStr to my myText.text ?
I've searched, but I don't believe flash (actionscript 2.0) itself offers a "select filefield" and fileupload functionality?
That's why my swf has a button which opens a popup window. In the window the user has the ability to upload a file to the server. That's no problem.
But I would like to send the filename back from the popup to the swf. How on earth can I manage that?
I can't use Loadvars.sendAndLoad in the swf because then my visitor does not see a popup and can't select the files. Loadvars.load doesn't work in popup?
I want to load Variables from a .txt-file to edit the properties of a movieClip. For example: 700 is written in the .txt-file. After loading the Clip the x-position of the clip should be set to 700. How can I do this?
View 14 RepliesI have a rotaing menu that loads in images from an xml file, I would also like it to load in text info from the same xml file to the left side of the images that load in. In my main .fla have created a movieclip and called it 'textInfo' and inside that I have two dynamic text fields called 'headerText' and 'bodyText' where I want to load the text in. this is what I am using to loading in the text in my actionscript, is this correct?

This is for mx 2004. How to load variables from an external txt file at the beginning of flash movie...At various keyframes in the scene the movie shows different forms for user to fill in into the TextInput components. As soon as these forms are shown, the TextInput components are pre-filled with default text (the variable values that were loaded, for example "Enter your title here"). I know how to do this in earlier versions easily with the Var variable but now I'm stuck. I've been trying to do something but I keep getting "undefined" in the TextInput.

the same, and I want to make the homePage.txt file load when the flash file starts, that is what it does right now by placing the code on the main timeline.
I have a text file that holds names. I want to import the variables from the text file.I can do that, but I also want to create a loop that will iterate through the text file and create the variables. The number of variables in the text file will vary.I simply don't know what I'm doing and need a hand.Here is an example of my variables in my text file.
Code:
name1=Anna&name2=Joe&name3=Carmen&name4=Susie
Here is my URLLoader[code].........
I have variables named name1, name2 in my text file and want the same names in my flash file. I know my onDataLoad function is incomplete but I left some fragments so you can see my failed attempts.
I currently have a file set up that imports and external text file and displays the parameters in the text file in separate dynamic text fields. No problem there. the text file reads: param1 = 300śm2 = 450śm3 = 500 However, what I want to be able to do, is set parameters that rather than defining text strings, define numeric values. I want to be able to use those numeric values to set the x position of an instance of an animated MC on the stage (animated with actionscript). I need to be able to pass the values from the text file to the actionscript. I tried using the code below and it doesn't work..,

I am using Flash CS4 with AS3, I'm building a form with 3 fields for users to input into:
-name
-email
-comments
Each of these input text fields have their variable boxes labeled respectfully:
-name field = name
-email field = email
-comments field = comments
For the submit button just below the bottom of the comments input block I have inserted this AS3 code:
on (press) { getURL("send_comment.php", "send", "POST");}
For the separate php file named "send_comment.php" I have this block of code:
<?php
$name = $HTTP_GET_VARS["name"];$email = $HTTP_GET_VARS["email"];$comments = $HTTP_GET_VARS["comments"];
$to = "soundgeek2496@yahoo.com";

the variables from the text file are loaded in swf and in dreamweaver the swf throws an error
Error: Error #2101: The String passed to URLVariables.decode() must be a URL-encoded query string containing name/value pairs.
at Error$/throwError()
at flash.net::URLVariables/decode()
at flash.net::URLVariables()
at flash.net::URLLoader/onComplete()
I understands this is because of flash player security and need to place crossdomain.xml file. but the my doubt is where to post my crossdomain.xml file in the local machine(to check the swf) and also in my website for the rest.
I want to get some leaders name from text file as variables using URLLoader.load() the application is working fine while testing TestMovie from flash but it's not working in html page and throws the following error even i read articles about crossdomain policies.;[code]

I have a question concerning the use of the matrix objecThe following code works well to rotate the sprite from its center if its x and y properties don't change.However, if I drag and drop the clip somewhere else after having rotated it, and then add a new rotation, it keeps rotating from the previous rotation point. Even if I add point =new oint(myspr.x+myspr.width/2, myspr.y+myspr.height/2); in a function that is called at the end of the drag and drop, the rotation point remains the same.So,how to update the position of the matrix rotation point if the x and the y of the clip change on the scene after a rotation?
Code:
var myspr=new Sprite();myspr.x=100;myspr.y=100;addChild (myspr);var point:Point=new Point(myspr.x+myspr.width/2, myspr.y+myspr.height/2);rotateAroundCenter(myspr,45);
