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?

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.

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.

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?

I'm creating part of my code to only be executed if a textfile on my server says it's okay. textfile.txt = "Okay=1 or 0"
I can get it to display in a textfield, but I cannot figure out how to simply put it in a variable for further actionscripting..
So how do I get the text from my external file, into a variable:string?

I'm having trouble with this script. I have an external text file, from which all of the text on the page is loaded. I also have a series of thumbnails, but I need to have different numbers on each page, so I figured I'd put the number of thumbnails into the text file too and then run a loop to create the thumbnails and buttons dynamically. The loop works fine, until I try to use the value I have loaded from the text file. I think it is something to do with it being in a separate function, but I have tried making it _global.counter, I have tried putting the whole for() loop inside the myData.onLoad function. Basically, I have tried everything I can think of and still the loop does not run when the counter value is specified externally.

in my projects i often use some xml files to load external text that i can format in css and it worked fine till now..i have a site that i am prograaming in italian and german and in both languages there is much text that contains special characters as "à " "ò" "è" "ù" "ä" "ü" and so on .. the problem is that when i write some text with this special characters in xml when the text is loaded in the flash this special characters are not recognised and instead of them a small square is displayed ..
i tryed to load the text from a html file instead of a xml file (because in HTML i know how to write theese special characters and let them display right in my html pages .. for example à = à but no way .. the flash now loades the text à instead of à ..

So I'm loading text from an external file I've uploaded onto the internet. It loads absolutely fine when I test the movie from my computer, but when I upload it and embed it onto an html page, all of the dynamic text refuses to load. Can someone enlighten me as to what's going on? Or at least tell me how to fix it? XD;

I want to load multiple images from an xml document into rows, one on top the other on a y axis?
here is my xml:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<cardRewards>
<rewardImage path="images/redStar1.jpg" />
[Code].....
right now i'm just trying to trace each image name and it's height through the for loop, but what i would like to do is stack each image, 1 following the other.
when i run the trace, the output repeats just the last images name and image height. There is something wrong in my loop, right? Also i should mention that each image has a different height dimension.

I'm loading some external text dynamically. Before I've always added the text to a textbox which is already on the stage. Now I'm adding the textbox with actionscript too but it's cutting off the exterally loading text at the height of the textbox (I know this because I am scrolling the text). There must be some property of the textbox which I haven't setwhat it is?Btw, I don't want to just change the height of the textbox as I am loading in many different texts of different lengths and this is affecting the scrolling.

From all the documentation and examples I can find, it appears that it would be
correct to create a global array variable [outside of any functions] to load image names into, then use these images for a slideshow. I want to make the app dynamic, in that changing the text file gives a new set of images.
The global variable goes null [no values] after the load event listener. Why is that?
Isn't global, well global, and alive for the duration of the SWF?
PARAMS.TXT:

How do I access these values after loading from the external file, after the load?

I have a variable that changes according to the position of a slider. I would like to display the numerical value of this variable inside a dynamic text field (created on the stage during authoring).I tried many approaches, but the one I was sure would work didn't. I referenced the "text" value of the dynamic text field from the frame in which the variable was instantiated and used. This did not work, so I am not sure what to do.[code]

Alright. I currently have a site where I need to have daily specials load into either dynamic text fields or tfl which ever is easier. Right now I am using as files loading into dynamic text fields but to update it I have to open flash move that days .as files into the same directory and publish, I have to do this everyday. Whats an easy way for me to set the code to automatically load the files everyday. Like on monday the code goes to /monday/specials.as and then tuesday does the same....or would it be easier to have an external file where all I have to do is edit the text and not have to open flash move files and re publish everyday.
