View 2 Repliesthe variables from the text file are loaded in swf and in dreamweaver the swf throws an error
Error: Error #2101: The String passed to URLVariables.decode() must be a URL-encoded query string containing name/value pairs.
at Error$/throwError()
at flash.net::URLVariables/decode()
at flash.net::URLVariables()
at flash.net::URLLoader/onComplete()
I understands this is because of flash player security and need to place crossdomain.xml file. but the my doubt is where to post my crossdomain.xml file in the local machine(to check the swf) and also in my website for the rest.

I have a Flash movie that loads variables from an external plain text file, that a client updates themselves (from a web site which generates the file). A problem occurred when they used an ampersand symbol in the text field. Is there a way around this? I haven't seen a way to escape it that works.
View 4 RepliesI'm loading 6 variables from a text file to populate an array, then using setInterval to populate two textfields every 5 seconds. IE7 gives me the "A script in this file is causing Flash Player 10 to run slowly do you want to abort this script?" It runs fine locally, but when I upload it, it won't work. Files are in the same folder in each case. Here is the entire script.

i wanted to a load unknown number of variables from a text file
View 1 RepliesI made a .fla file that uses an "include" to pull in a bunch of variables from a .as file. I would like to be able to count the number of variables in this file so that I can make the thing more "automatic" so that if someone else in my office adds more variables to the .as file it updates itself. Similar to the way you can count children using an XML file.

View 2 RepliesI'm using Flash CS3 Actionscript 2. I'm loading an external file (it used to be an XML file but now it is an aspx file). Anyway, my actionscript for loading the file looks like this:
xmlFile = "flash/info.aspx?id=1"
Which works great with the aspx file I've created. But I need the "id=1" to append a dynamic number instead of the "1".
I am currently helping make a project which needs to load variables from a PHP file into Flash. What I want is the flash movie to go to a frame if the PHP variable in the PHP file equals some text, say "hello".For my PHP file I have this:
Code:
<?php
$dataForTxtbox_1 = "hello";
print("&name1=$dataForTxtbox_1");
?>
I have tried several bits of actionscript, but with no luck. Basically, I want the movie to go to a frame if the variable in PHP equals "hello". Which it currently does, I have tried using the if statement in several ways but with no luck.

I'm new to AS3 and dealt with AS2 before (just getting the grasp when the change it). Is it possible in AS3 to load an excel .csv file into Flash using the URLLoader (or ???) and the data as variables?I can get the .csv to load and trace the values (cell1,cell2,cell3 but I'm not sure how to collect the data and place it into variables. Can I just create an array and access it like so.... myArray[0], myArray[1]? If so, I'm not sure why it's not working.
I must be on the completely wrong path. Here's what I have so far..

I have a text file that holds names. I want to import the variables from the text file.I can do that, but I also want to create a loop that will iterate through the text file and create the variables. The number of variables in the text file will vary.I simply don't know what I'm doing and need a hand.Here is an example of my variables in my text file.
Code:
name1=Anna&name2=Joe&name3=Carmen&name4=Susie

I have variables named name1, name2 in my text file and want the same names in my flash file. I know my onDataLoad function is incomplete but I left some fragments so you can see my failed attempts.
I currently have a file set up that imports and external text file and displays the parameters in the text file in separate dynamic text fields. No problem there. the text file reads: param1 = 300śm2 = 450śm3 = 500 However, what I want to be able to do, is set parameters that rather than defining text strings, define numeric values. I want to be able to use those numeric values to set the x position of an instance of an animated MC on the stage (animated with actionscript). I need to be able to pass the values from the text file to the actionscript. I tried using the code below and it doesn't work..,

I am using Flash CS4 with AS3, I'm building a form with 3 fields for users to input into:
-name
-email
-comments
Each of these input text fields have their variable boxes labeled respectfully:

-email field = email
-comments field = comments
For the submit button just below the bottom of the comments input block I have inserted this AS3 code:
on (press) { getURL("send_comment.php", "send", "POST");}
For the separate php file named "send_comment.php" I have this block of code:
<?php
$name = $HTTP_GET_VARS["name"];$email = $HTTP_GET_VARS["email"];$comments = $HTTP_GET_VARS["comments"];
