ActionScript 2.0 :: How To Loading External Variables

Is it possible to load external variables from a different server other than the one that the flash site is hosted on?And if so, what would that command look like?For instance, if you load a variable from the site's own server it might look like this;loadText.load("TEXT1.txt");Would loading it from a different server look something like this;

ActionScript 3.0 :: Loading Variables From External Source?
Jan 23, 2011How to load variables from an external source? For example, Lets say I have a movieclip that contains 6 keyframes, and I want flash to load the proper keyframe when the main swf is opened. Flash knows what the proper keyframe is, because that variable is stored in a MySQL database, or txt file, or xml file, or whatever. Also, how could i have flash write to an external file, so that i can save the changes.
View 2 RepliesActionScript 3.0 :: Loading An External .swf With Additional Variables?
Oct 14, 2009I've been attempting to load an external .swf within a parent .swf. The problem is that the external .swf requires additional variables to pull it's content from a database. This code of course works just fine if the .swf doesn't contain any additional variables or if it's requesting an image.
Is it possible to do this using the GET method, or is there an alternate method while using Loader()?
parent.php as3:
ActionScript Code:
var loadit = new Loader();
addChild(loadit);
loadit.load(new URLRequest("gallery.swf?xmlUrl=http://localhost/gallery/api/rest/get_gallery/1/json"));
The external .swf is obviously gallery.swf while the variable that is necessary for it to function is [URL]

I have a text file called "variables.txt" formatted like this (note the jump form p9 to p11) Quote:

ActionScript 2.0 :: [external Variables] Loading Textformats From .txt Files?
Jun 2, 2004I want to make a small flash animation in which the user can specify what text and what font/color will be used throughout the animation, by typing in the text file.On with the code which is of interest:
Code:
//Mouse.hide();
since1_txt = "";
since2_txt = "";
thename = "";
[code]...
Of course, the movie clips contain this text and all works fine if I specify it this way.So I have this in my "actions" layer on the first frame and apart from the fact that it works if I specify the formatting within the actions, it's all good. But now comes the fact that I want to specify my textformat options within the text (.txt) file. So I'd specify two color sets (in RGB hexa sets, 0xFF0000 for example), the font (in this case, tahoma) and the three sizes, and have them assigned to myTextFormat's dynamically through loading, using, for example,
Code:
myTextFormat = new TextFormat();
myTextFormat.align = left;
myTextFormat.color = theColor1;
[code]...
Which doesn't work because i can't seem to get the myTextFormat.font = Tahoma; to work if i use myTextFormat.font = theFont; because it is, perhaps, searching for a font called "theFont" instead of taking the reference to the variable within the text file.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Loading External SWFs From Another External Swf Into The Main SWF Container?
May 4, 2011I have created a main "site.swf" file that loads a "default.swf" file into a container after a preloader. On this default.swf file I have buttons that needs to load new external SWF files in its place in the container. All of the external SWFs contain buttons and navigations that will also call up other external SWFs into this container. So, I would like to know how to program each button (some are movieclips as buttons) to unload itself and load the respective SWF into the container (eg. AboutUsButton to call up aboutus.swf into the container). I do not have a main navigation on the site.swf file bacause the navigation changes on each SWF that needs to be loaded into the container.

In some of the external swf files, (using a FLVPlayback component) when you press a button on the main timeline to unload the current playing swf the audio/video continues to play after loading the new external swf file.So I believe that my approach is all wrong and I should be working to dynamically load the .mp3 and.flvs in the external swf ... my questiion is how to unload those assets when loading the new external swf

May 24, 2005I created a site using Kirupa's external .swf loading tutorial. Now in one of my externally loaded .swf's, I am loading another external .swf. I've gotten this to work fine, but the second external .swf (loaded into the first) contains buttons that will swap this second external .swf with another external .swf. I can't seem to get the AS references to the variables set up correctly in order to swap the swf's. The initial .swf loads fine, but the button control gets complicated inside it. It sounds rather confusing, so I've included a link to the .fla's and .swf's below.

-band.swf load's profiles_main.swf
-The buttons in profiles_main.swf are trying to load chris.swf (swapping it entirely with profiles_main.swf)
