ActionScript 2.0 :: Loading External Variables From TextFile With Mac

Mar 2, 2004

I'm trying to load variables from an external .txt file into Flash MX and this is the code I'm using:
links = new LoadVars();
links.load("assignLinks.txt");
links.onLoad = function(success){
if(success) {
diovan = links.diovan;
diovanhct = links.diovanhct;
}}
trace(diovan);
trace(diovanhct);

(The text file has the following content: diovan=whatever&diovanhct=whateveragain&)
The trace outputs "undefined" for both variables. I also tried loadVariables instead of loadVars... same result. If this is a problem specific to Macs, whats the work around?

IDE :: Unloading A Textfile Completely Before Loading Next One?

Oct 20, 2009

In have an application that uses buttons t0 load different text files. The problem is when I load the second text file I still get variables from the first one showing. To clarify things, suppose I load a file that displays variables 1 through 5 randomly when I click one button, then I click a second button in order to load a file that displays 6 through 10. The problem is that I still get some variables from 1-5 when I want to get only 6-10. Is the first file kept in memory or something? How do I unload or clear the temp/memory where the content of the first file is held.

CS3 : Accessing Data Loaded From External Textfile?

Mar 3, 2010

I'm trying to load data from an external textfile, called "config_flash.txt". It works perfectly if applying the fetched data is done within the same function where the loading is done. However, I would like to use the fetched variables in other parts of the script.

Here's what works:

Actionscript Code:
var varLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader(new URLRequest("config_flash.txt"));varLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,

[code]...

So, basically I want the variables/values defined inside the function to be available anywhere in the script. The error that the second code snippet causes is as follows: "1120: Access of undefined property text1/text2".

ActionScript 2.0 :: Load The Same External Textfile In Two Different Textfields

May 28, 2005

I want to load the same external textfile in two different textfields. No problem. My freaky question is: Can I adapt the text a little in one of the two fields, more specifically: leave out the last three symbols/letters? For instance: Elvis would have been dead if he was still alive >>> and: Elvis would have been dead if he was still alive The only trick I can think of is embedding the font, but not embedding the > sign. Is that possible? I am using Verdana here.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Loading Variables From External Source?

How 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.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Loading An External .swf With Additional Variables?

Oct 14, 2009

I'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]

ActionScript 2.0 :: [external Variables] Loading Textformats From .txt Files?

Jun 2, 2004

I 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 2.0 :: Extracting Arrays From Textfile?

Aug 1, 2004

I have a variable which takes a particular form of array (used with the component DataSet). It looks like this:

Code:
var recData = [{svenska:"Hej", spanska:"Hola"}, {svenska:"nej", spanska:"no"}, {svenska:"ocks�", spanska:"tambi�n"}];

I want to extract this variable from a textfile instead of writing it directly into the code-area of the flash-file, so I used the following code:

Code:
// 1) Loads the textfile, recieves the array, and puts it into a variable called txt_Data
var txt_DataSet = new LoadVars();

[Code]....

Unfortunately it seems the array gets converted to an ordinary string in the process, so I cant use it properly. Is there a way I could extract the array from this string again, and if so, how?
