ActionScript 2.0 :: LoadVars OnLoad Delay In External Class File?
Mar 25, 2012
I'm building an external class file that other developers can use to include a set of functions that essentially read and write data to MySQL via PHP.
The idea is that their AS2 script calls a method in my class which uses LoadVars to verify the data passed to it and write it to a database, and then it returns a value back to the AS.
I'm having a problem where the delay in waiting for OnLoad means that the calling AS function gets an undefined value back. i.e.
var returnValue=myClass.myMethod(params);
This (I assume) is setting returnValue instantly, despite the fact that LoadVars can take a little while to work.
What's the recommended/normal way to deal with this? I don't want to have to bring the OnLoad part of the process back into the developer's script, it would be nice to keep it all in the class. is there a way to make the calling script wait for a response?

i have been stuck on this thing for a while now and can't find the solution anywhere on the internet. I'm working on making a class file for the flash foru i just made and am stuck on the logging in part. The cript works and logs in the user, but i want to be able to know when the data has been loaded from php to flash.

I am using the following code to load my flash file, contact a php script and decide what frame to play based on the results. THat is all working fine, the problem is that when the animation starts from Frame 2 - gotoAndPlay(2) - it seems to repeat a few frames over and over until the whole animation is complete.
I have done some reading up and the enterFrame is called many times so I can understand why the problem is there but I don't know how to resolve it. The interesting thing is, when I just use gotoAndPlay(2) in the if loaded section, it all works fine. It's only when it's in the onLoad for the loadVars that causes it to break. Using: Flash CS5 and Actionscript 2.0

I'm trying to create a new instance of a MovieClip when the original one has been used. Would sound easy enough. Just use: var
instanceName:ClassName = new ClassName();
the class name/mc in the library im trying to duplicate is MCg1 so
var instanceName:MCg1 = new MCg1(); right?
However, the particular object in the library i'm trying to duplicate has a base class that is an external class file (just to control it's drag drop functionality)... i.e baseclass is not set to the standard flash.display.MovieClip, or whatever the case maybe. So i end out with a: TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.

How can I use LoadVars inside a class?I mean, if I assign the method name to onLoad of LoadVars, the method will be override, and will not pertence to my class.look this:
[AS]
class myClass{
var lv:LoadVars;[code]...
this at onLoad function points to loadVars not to myClass.the only solution I found to this was to myClass extends LoadVars, but it limit me since AS 2 does not support multiple-Inheritance.I think I will face the same problem with all others components that does not has addEventListener capabilitie.

I'm messing around with trying to load variables from a text file and it's just not working as I'd expect. First, my text file is formatted like this
[Code]...
For example, if I do something like create a simple Dynamic Text Box on the same frame as the above code, to show the value from _level0.Test.variable1, it displays "undefined" even though the debugger indicates this variable has the value "value1" as I wish it to. (using "trace(_level0.Test.variable1)" yields no better results)
I have attemped using onLoad and onData alongside the above code, and neither one has made the situation better. I have also attempted trying to reference the variable in a few different ways, and it's just returning the same thing every time. When I was experimenting last night, I managed to get the variables to show up properly on a "trace()" but not when referenced by other things in the flash file. Regrettably, I cannot remember how I did this. Either way it didn't quite work still. Do I need to do something else to be able to reference loaded data in my project, or is there some fundamental mistake I am making? I'm usng Flash CS3 Pro, if that makes any difference. Flash Player is up to date, etc.

I have Domain1 that is hosting my flash .swf file, and Domain2 that is linking to that .swf file. In the flash file I have a;loadVars.send "POST");command. When the flash file is placed anywhere on a page on Domain1, this works perfectly fine. But when placed on Domain2 (and other domains), this loadVars statement does not work and does not forward to But when I change "_self" to "_blank" - the statement works fine on Domain2.

I have this fully functioning program with me that has a certain line of code that I am having a little difficulty figuring out. Here is how it goes:
Code:
var initVar:LoadVars = new LoadVars( );
I know what the above line does, as in a variable 'initVar' of type LoadVars is being decalred. It's a composite datatype and LoadVars is a class.
However what I don't understand is what comes next:
Code:
gBasicConnect = initVar.basicConnect;
I was expecting basicConnect to be a method of the LoadVars class, unfortunately according to the AS2 API, it's not. Where could basicConnect have come from than? The program was originally written with ActionScript 2.0 in Flash 8.0, I am now looking at it in CS3.

Code:
onLoad=function() {
my_text=new LoadVars()
my_text.load("C:\Documents and Settings\Wrkspace\Desktop\flash_wordlist.txt");
my_wordlist="";
} my_text.onLoad=function(success) {
if(success) {
my_wordlist=(this.var_wordlist).split(" ");
trace(my_wordlist)
}}
The trace doesn't showup at all....by the way, this is in the first frame of the timeline, and i am trying to load a wordlist and then use the words in my program separately. Is it because flash loads the text file slowly? I am using flash 8, AS2.

I'm trying to wrap my head around AS3 and it isn't going well. I'm getting stuck on the most basic of problems it's making me pretty angry. I'm trying to do something as simple as reference the stage and I just can't figure it out; something that usually takes me seconds has eaten up 2 days of my time.
I have a Main.fla that outputs Main.swf; it contains no script, only library assets. I have a document class set up using Main.as, which itself has 1 trace and code to run the Preloader class, which is held in Preloader.as.

My flash application has lots of resources which will change all the time. In order to keep the the user from having to download my main .swf file over and over again, and in order to keep the main file's size low, I would like to put the resources into separate .swf files and load them dynamically from a url using a Loader.
Once downloaded I would like to extract the classes that are in the resource swf and use them in the main swf. Can anyone share some code for doing this? Note that I am not just interested in using a symbol from the resource swf. I would like to use a class, with all of its methods and everything, and my main swf does not contain the class definition. Only the resource swf does.

I have been searching for information regarding the use of loading an external xml file from a variable (string) that contains the location of the item and passes it to the document class.
I receive the following error:
Error: Error #2136: The SWF file file:///C|/Documents%20and%20Settings/xmikxm0/My%20Documents/workingDocuments/freelance/brightStar/webSiteStructure/core.swf contains invalid data. at BuildSiteElements/::frame1()[BuildSiteElements::frame1:2]
FLA code:
ActionScript Code:
/* variables to load XML */
var BuildItems_obj:BuildSiteElements = new BuildSiteElements();
BuildItems_obj.loadSiteXML("templateBuild.xml");
[Code]....
fla is in same folder as class and the fla compiles the swf in another location (outside the folder and pulls xml from the xml folder).

I am currently using an external Class file for an instance in my .fla project. It creates an instance of that specific class and has it carry out some functions.I want to access a MovieClip on the stage in the .fla file in the external Class file. How can I do this?For example, the Class file creates an instance of that class, and I want the x and y coordinates of that instance to be equal to that of let's say circle_mc. Now circle_mc is on the stage of the .fla file, and therefore cannot be accessed. How can I get around this?

Instead of posting my entire files and such, I'll make a brief example of my situation and my desired outcome.My files consist of my document class entitled Engine.as and another class Abilities.as all within the same folder.On my stage I have a MovieClip with the instance name of item1_mc. On its personal timeline I have 2 frames, one entitled "inactive" and the other "active". Here's a sample of very similar code....
Code:
package
{
import flash.display.MovieClip;
[code]....
How do I access item1_mc? In reality I have 6 different clips and I desire to access much more than frame changes...what's the overall best way to be able to interact with an item placed on the stage via an external .as file that is not the document class?
