View 1 RepliesHow 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 RepliesUsing Flash CS4 professional And Action-script 3.0 I am currently working on an mp3 player in flash.I have my main fla file in my root folder.Also in my root folder is a folder names 'source_files'Inside the 'source_files' folder there is.A folder named 'songs' (which holds several mp3 files) and a text file named track_list.txt The text in track_list.txt is set out as follows (example values used).
//song1
//song2
Where '//' represents the start of the name of each song.
From within the project I have a code that loads track_list.txt and uses the split function to split the loaded data into an array before adding 'source_files/songs' to the beginning of each index of the array.

In the tutorial with that name there is this code:
Code:
on (release) {
loadText = new loadVars();

Do you have any tips, or a link to a good tutorial? I'm a bit of a newbie...

i have a Air Project in which i have added three extenal source folders. but when i reopen project or strat flash builder again i get icon on those folder like this but when i open the configuration for that project and try to validate the path and adding it again i get message like this but the path is valid. proof is this pic what could be possible error,,, is there any way that i when ever re-open project i get no warning and able to navigate through the linked source code. now i am doing it
1- deleting on of the linked folder
2- again adding that folder.
So inside my src folder I have my app.mxml file. I have a source directory pointed to my actionscript library.It appears that Flex does not look inside that source directory including an .as file within the master mxml file.
Code:
<mx:Script source="com/domain/something/somethingelse/app.as"/>
I could just have the main app.as file inside the src folder along with my app.mxml file but it would be nice if it could live in the actionscript library.

View 2 RepliesWe've updated to Flash Professional CS5.5, but are noticing that when multiple users access the FLA over AFP network file share off our OSX Server, they are not restricted from opening the FLA at the same time.Could have sworn that's always just worked in past versions. Most apps just refuse users access to open files; Other apps like Office warn us of multiple user access to open read-only.

Will they be able to open up my modified document?

View 7 Repliesim trying to get text from a text file to appear in a text box on my time line. the initial movie stops at frame one where a map appears..once they click on the room it'll take them to a specific frame toward the end of the movie where i have decriptions, pics, etc for each room set up...for the description box in, for example, the computer room (frame 477) the instance name of the text box is computer room,the text file is named computerroomtext.txt, the variable name is computerroom....in the actionscript i did loadVariables ("computerroom.txt","_root.computer room");
in my text file i put computerroom=blahblahblah
when i test the movie and click the button that takes me to frame 477 (the computer room) theres no text. if i remove the text file from the folder i get an error that it couldnt be found, so i know its doing something...i just cant figure out why the text isnt showing up.
I was woundering if anyone has ever run into the problem when they are useing the getTime(); command but wanted it to stay in a specific time zone no matter what zone the user is browsing in. So basically I want it to display central time, but if a user browsing my site is in Pacific time, I want the time to display in central, even if he/she tries to change the the clock on his/her computer. So I think the only other way to do this would get the time from another source? I tried getUTCTime(); but that time still changes if the user changes the clock on his/her computer. I was thinking if I could do something like getTime(); and inside the () , mabey I could put my IP address?

View 5 RepliesI am a Java programmer and I can read and edit most anything I get my hands on. I don't work much with flash and when I do there is no reason to look at any sort of source.I received a file from someone to add to a project and the instructions were to open the .fla in CS5 and edit certain lines to pioint to directories . The file is and interactive app type.I have tried doing this but I am at a loss. I had thought that I would just be able to view some source in the file and edit those lines and export the ,swf, but I can see nothing like that.

Quick question, has anyone ever come across either a web cam API or an open source alternative that can be easily integrated to a site without having any Flash or ActionScript experience.
I should probably say what I'm trying to do.... The idea is to create a Facebook app that lets friends communicate (and meet new people too) in real time over web cam.
I am looking for an open-source iTunes style media player that I can use as a base for functionality I would like to develop. I am quite keen on Flex/Air, or C# or Java will do for languages.
View 3 RepliesI would like to compile my view classes into an SWC from flash, and compile the rest of the application using mxmlc (avoiding recompiling through the IDE). However, because the view classes (source) are in the project class path, mxmlc gives them precedence over the compiled SWC.
Now I'm thinking that maybe the view classes have to be separated into a separate project, but I am hesitant to do so because I don't think these classes truly constitute an independent project, and separating them out would not serve any purpose beyond working around the linking precedence problem. Furthermore, if i were to change my mind about the linkage, i would have to restructure both projects, and any common dependancies between the two projects could be messy to maintain.
How can I get mxmlc to give precedence to the SWC over the Actionscript? Or, if this is not possible, is it more common to create a separate project for the Flash-compiled library, or to isolate the Flash source in the project so that it is not included in the project class path?
