I'm using LoadVars to load an external file that has one variable containing an array with a few sub arrays.
Code:
var externalData:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
externalData.onLoad = function() {
var sectArray:Array = externalData.sectArray;
};
externalData.load("portfolio.txt");
But every time I try to get one of the values I get "undefined". is there another way?
Someone here recently helped me immensely with a question I had about creating a previous button in my flash file that would allow the user to click on the button and view the previous swf file. I'm hoping someone can help me with making the Next button now, too.
I have a movieclip that loads an array of external swf files. I thought making the next button would be as simple as changing just a select few things to the previous button.However, that's not working. When I try that, the movieclip doesn't even load the swf files. Below is my AS2 code for my file. I bolded the part at the end that is for the previous button. Does anyone know how to make the previous button?

I have a class that loads data from a text file and puts it into an array called tdv.importedTxtArray (public var).In a separate class i have written [code]The infoArray does not then contain the imported text however because tdv.importedTxtArray is not given its popper contents until about 1/2 a second after the tdvLoader class executes (i.e: when Event.COMPLETE is run and the array is populated with strings from the external text file). Subsequently in the code above infoArray is set to a blank array.How can i get the code in my separate class to ''wait' until tdv.importedTxtArray is properly populated before accessing it.
View 2 RepliesI am having trouble trying to use actionscript to load different files when different values are changed. I am currently using a tilelist and they have different values so the code is something like this: (the title is just there, non-related)
if (startTileList.selectedItem.value == 1)
{
//textFile1 load here[code].........
So I want different text files to be loaded when different value is selected but I cannot seem to get it working.
i know you can load them in as variables... but is there anyway SAVE a variable as a text file (overwriting old one as well)

View 1 RepliesI'm working on a project that involves pulling a number from a text file on a remote server. I am familiar with the intricacies of loadVars and loadVariables, but in this particular case, the text file only contains a number. It is not preceeded by a variable name or anything like that. It is just: 40. Is there a way to pull this into flash without a variable name so I can display it in a dynamic text field?

Trying to augment the Kirupa tutorial "ActionScript Text Animation" [URL] to take an external text file. When I switch out the line:
text = "There is only one..."

I've managed to piece together a flash website with my limited as3 knowledge. The text is loaded from external text files and styled with an external css file.
It's working perfectly in Firefox and Explorer but it only works SOME of the time in Safari (on my mac).It's hit and miss. Sometimes it styles the text sometimes it doesn't.

I spent almost a week trying to figure out how to unload a currently loaded swf using its button and loading a new swf... I have three files, a main.fla, file1.fla and file2.fla. In my main.fla, I have a code which loads the other two files. If i will click the "unload" button in the file1.swf, I would like the main.fla to unload the file1.swf and load the other file, file2.swf. Here is the code to load the file1.swf:

Lets say I have subgallery.swf file that loads jpeg images. And I have gallery.swf file that loads subgallery.swf.The jpeg images and both swf files are in the same folder.When I test gallery.swf it loads subgallery.swf but subgallery.swf doesn't load images. When testing subgallery.swf alone, it loads jpeg files.Is there any limitation or setting preventing external swfs loading other content?

View 3 RepliesStructure: There is 1 main file that loads external SWF files depending on what is clicked on.One of the external SWF files loads its text from external text files. This works fine when viewing the SWF applet on its own. But when viewing as a whole site, the text doesnt appear. Very annoying.I made that particular SWF on my mums computer running Flash MX 2004The flash file itself uses the Scrollbar component from MX.Could someone tell me why the text doesnt load in this scenario? It runs fine on its own, just not as an external SWF.

I'm having trouble importing an external .swf into my .fla. file. The only AS that is working gor me is-

However, once the swf shows, it replaces the background interface. I assume I have to add a _level into the code but how?

I've been making a game using Adobe Flash CS3 and actionscript 2.0 on my desktop and it was working fine. I tried to transfer the folder containing the flash file and all of the .as files to my laptop via a jump drive and now, when I run the the swf, it doesn't appear to be loading any of my .as files. All of the files are still located in the same folder as my flash files and it still compiles and runs fine on my desktop.

My ProblemI have a large (30mb) swf file created in InDesign. It's an interactive PDF. Now rather then allowing people to view it straight away and having to wait elements to load we'd like to pre-load it somehow.
I was wondering how I might go about building a preloader for this SWF file. I have limited knowledge of action script, and most of that was as2 rather then 3.
When I click on a button eg news, I use the loadmovie function to load news.swf. In news.swf, I have the following command (from Kirupa scrolling dynamically loaded text tut) to load a text file in:
