ActionScript 2.0 :: LoadVars And Textarea Sporadically "undefined" URGENT?
Jan 15, 2010
Been beating my head against this for a while now and am starting to get down to the wire. I could really urgently use a hand here and would be so appreciative of any help you can offer.
I have a flash site, built in CS4 and AS2, with four textareas that are populated by a LoadVars that is pulling variables from a .txt file. These textareas are unreliable; about 50% of the time, the text displays just as I want, but about 50%, all I get is "undefined."
I have a flash with some text linked with loadVars, all works perfectly in my computer but shows as "undefined" when i publish the web...both text are actived by buttons so load time is not the matter, and both .txt files are in same directory as the .swf and the .html, and codded as UTF-8[code]...
I've been working with LoadVars a lot recently and like it very much so. However, I have encountered a new problem. I have this array that already works in my Flash project:
I have a movieclip with a TextArea inside it with the instance name writeUps_txt.The movieclip is added to the stage with actionscript and I want to set the text inside writeUps_txt after the movieclip is added to the stage.Why won't the following work?
infoPages[i].writeUps_txt.text = blurbs[i];
I've checked everything and all of my arrays contain the right objects so everything is kosher there. To add to the problem, this line:
infoPages[i].title_txt.text = locations[i];
does work and the only difference is that title_txt is dynamic text.Is there a difference between how dynamic text and textAreas behave in this regard?
Is there a way to do file reading and writing in flash, like using actionscript 2.0? Just like how we do it in C++. Like read variables or a string from a .txt file and write in it.
i imported some sound into my movie, and since doin that my preloader only shows when its about 60% percent done, any one know how to make it show from the start?also my sound controls are contain in a movie clip wich slides down when u roll over, using hit tests, when u lower the volume down it works fine, but when the controls slide back up, and then u roll over again the volume is the same, but the slider is back at the top, any ideas?
One of the moderators, could you've a look at this tutorial: [URL] it doesn't works with me, maybe because I've 2004 so if you change loadVars() into LoadVars() it should work
Unfortunately, when I start placing text in this text area. Either through code or user input, the text will be placed on a new line after about 80-100 pixels. Yet I want it to start a new line after 320 pixels (it's length).
Is it possible to save text of textarea in some variable or so and with its textformat (more than one color) and then reuse it to replace text in textarea?
I tried saving htmlText of textarea but the problem is when i replace it in textarea <p> tags causes problem.There will always be another extra line.

If anyone wants to view p tags problem try following. Just click on text and then move your down arrow key, cursor will go to next line.
i am using flash, .Net, and MySQL and have elements (text fields) posting in flash.Question is, if the table in the data base is not holding the var char how can I set the text field in flash to not show undefined and just be blank?
OK, I am trying to do my first simple user authentication for a test built in Flash. I'm just checking to see if someone with the same name and email exists in the mySQL database and then echoing out entryAllowed=false if they exist.
Code: PHP Code: //query is successful and these vars trace out in flash
I have created a site that calls in text from an external .txt file. The text file is a flat file that is updateable using PHP. What I need is for the Flash site to reflect the current contents of the text file each time it's updated through the PHP interface. I'm using the standard:
I did get it to 'kind of work' at one point, but the output text would flash 'undefined', then show the contents of my text file, then go blank then start that loop over again. Not acceptable.
I am converting a class into AS3 (was AS2). What would be the best way to replace the loadVars ? This is how the code looked like in AS2
ActionScript Code: public function load(csvPath:String): void { // Use the LoadVars class to load in the CSV file as a String var csvLoad:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
I have managed to develop code that will run a php script by passing a variable (obtained from a combobox control) to the MySQL database. Initially this works fine but if I try to repeat the excercise using a different value nothing happens.[code]...
I have read a little bit about loadVars and loadVariables, so I am trying to read and write to a .txt on my server. This is my functions: (only Read works, but Send doesn't)
ActionScript Code: function Load(F, VAR) { var DATA:LoadVars = new LoadVars();[code]...........
There are no errors or something; but the file is the same after Send();
I try to get a variable from php : I have a button with : on (release) { $myLoadVars = new LoadVars(); $myLoadVars_received = new LoadVars(); $myLoadVars.var_to_php = myComboBox.getSelectedItem().label; $myLoadVars.sendAndLoad ( "script.php",$myLoadVars_received); $affich_var = $envelope_received.var_from_php; }
PHP // script.php : <? $result = mysql_query( "select counter from data_base where data1='".$_POST['var_to_php']."'"); $counter = mysql_fetch_row($result); echo ("&var_from_php=$counter[0]"); ?>
My result of all this : nothing happens. no variable is received from php. (The is no request ( from the firewall ) from flash to access the internet). So I think the error is around the sendandload. By the way, the php script works perfectly with loadVariablesNum.
Okay, so ive loaded some data from PHP into a textbox in Flash with loadVariables, but then found out, that loadVariables, havent got a way of checking if everythings loaded. So im gonna use LoadVars instead,This is the old loadVariables code:
Just wondering if you can use the sendAndLoad method of the Loadvars object to send "POST" data to a server then recieve the response in an XML object.
I am using the loadVars class (Flash 8) to load key/value pairs from a mySQL database through php (example &pic1=pic1.jpg&pic2=pic2.jpg&...).
The ultimate goal is to create a dynamic slideshow with a variable length, depending on how many pics were submitted by the user. Since the associative array object returned by loadVars does not share the "length" property of indexed arrays, my guess is that the values need to be converted into a new indexed array before being able to use them in the slideshow.
I have a project that needs to store user input on the server, then be able to reload it later.I am interested in opinions as to which separator would be best to use, ie comma, semicolon, tilde, etc. Of course whichever character it is, it will be restricted from usage by the user, so it must be uncommon.I'm leaning towards using the tilde, since I already use input textfield restrictions to prevent backticks for server security (same key on the keyboard). Seems to me as if the tilde is a very rarely used character, and so should be fine to exclude it from user inputs as well.
i'm currently trying to make a "create you're own guy" type thing, i dont have any clothes right now i just have skin colour and eyes, but it works on frames, like if you have frame 1 of eyes you'll have asian looking eyes. etc.
my problem is that, it only loads the first variable from my php doccument, ive tested everything, and all, switching up my 2 variables, and when EYES comes first in the doccument only eyes load, and when SKIN comes first in the php doc only skin loads...
but anyways heres my code.
Code: Var = new LoadVars(); Var.load("http://THISISMYSITE.com/site/phptest.php"); eyes.onEnterFrame = function() {
