ActionScript 2.0 :: Loading External Text Files With Variable Containing Array

Sep 6, 2005

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?

Professional :: Next Button In Array For Loading External Swf Files?

Jan 5, 2011

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?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Loading External Text / Variable Used Before Populated With Loaded Text

Nov 29, 2009

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.

Flash:: Loading Different External Text Files When Different Value Selected?

I 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.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Loading External Text That's Not A Variable

Dec 23, 2004

I'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?

ActionScript 2.0 :: Undefined Variable Loading External Text

Feb 8, 2005

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..."
with:
myLoadVar = new LoadVars ();
myLoadVar.load("davetextdoc.txt")
myLoadVar.onLoad = function (success){
if (success == true) {
output.variable = "text"
output.text=myLoadVar.text;
}}
I get the word "undefined" repeatedly loading itself. The text file is properly formatted (text=dave's text here...) I've tried untold permutations to self-solve.

ActionScript 2.0 :: External Text Files Wont Load Into External Swf File?

May 28, 2007

Structure: 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.

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.
