I've been busting my head forever on this... I'm trying to load variables from an external txt file in the same folder as my SWF file to be used as normal variables in _root and not in Text Fields, every method or Tutorial I found and tried with both LoadVars() and LoadVariables() only works with loading into Dynamic Text Feilds but there is no way I can copy those values into normal variables to be used for other purposes like integers and normal strings...
I've read over a dozen tutorials and tried more than 30 different lines of code but there seems to be no way to get the values into normal variables, the list of things I've tried is way too long to mention, so I'll just ask, anyone here know how to load values into normal variables and perhaps an Array? my text file is called "Strings.txt" but again I do not want to load those strings directly to a text Field I want them to be used in a different area...
I have a pre-made solution I purchased. But it only works when it's variables are all loaded from a #include .txt. Here's a sample file: [URL] It's all in the form of an include rather than a loadVars. Is there anyway to load this file with a loadVars?
I'd like to load a .txt file containing HTML with LoadVars, and have a link within the HTML code perform a Flash action. I'm sure I've seen this before but I'm not sure of the syntax, and I can't seem to find the documentation. If anyone could provide information or links to information on this, I would appreciate it.To clarify--let's say I've already loaded my HTML into Flash. I want a code kind of like this:
HTML Code: <a action="myFunction();">Start this movie</a>
where myFunction() is defined in the Flash movie already.
Is there any workaround to load in complete html pages with LoadVars ?
I have this client that wants to update some pages (just adding and removing text and pictures), but I would love to do it in action scripting and have him update an external file.
Now I could tell him to remove the tags from <html> to <body> and from </body> to </html>, save it as text file and add a variable (like myText at the top of his file, but that wouldn't make things much easier for him.
He'll probably start to complain that it would have been easier if I'd made it in html instead of flash
how to display an html page inside of flash ? (except for opening browser windows and loading the page in that window ofcourse - that isn't good enough)
I am trying to control the visibility of a movie clip using a boolean variable contained within a text file.
The mc i want to make invisible is in a swf which is loaded into a 'master.swf' using a MovieClipLoader object.
I have managed to get text to display across various boxes in my loaded (child) MC using a loadvars obeject defined in the masterMC and used by the childMC. I just cant seem to be able to get the value of my Boolean variable to go with the text variables and therefore control the visibilty of my MC.
This is my code - (in the master movie):
var myLV:LoadVars = new LoadVars(); myLV.onLoad = function(success) { if (success) {
One of the moderators, could you've a look at this tutorial: [URL] it doesn't works with me, maybe because I've 2004 so if you change loadVars() into LoadVars() it should work
im new to flash - actionscript 3.0. I have created a text and i am able to set a string by doing txt.text = "something". My problem is, i want to display an integer instead of a string, how is this possible?
I've stumbled upon a strange thing in Flex. I created an integer variable:
var foo:int = 1;
And in the debugger it says foo is a Number with a value of 1.It wasn't a biggie for me but seems Numbers are being sent instead of integers when doing remote service calls. What's happening here?
I'm loading an XML file into flash, one of the fields is an ID of them item in the database the XML file was made from.I can load everything fine and have put all the data into a multi-dimensional array, but for some reason the ID is a string. I've tried using Number(myID), to covert it to an integer but nothing seems to work.So how can I load an Integer into Flash using XML and have Flash recognise it as an Integer?
i want to choose one of these randomly, I have a loop way in which there is a loop searching for the index number which is inside an array like M1[1]=1 , M2[1]=2 and if I have a random number between 1 and 20 I can loop the arrays [1] element.
But is there another way with directly get the random array buy name. For example I have the random number 14 which directs me to M14. how Name of the array help me to choose M14 when I have the number 14....
I heard that dynamic Object() properties, when looped through via a "for in" do not preserve their original order they were added to the Object.However if I use integers as object properties like this:
ActionScript Code: import flash.utils.Dictionary; var obj:Object = new Object();
I'm getting a millisec timestamp in ActionScript as a Number object which can return a primitive double. I'd like to cast it for a backend that expects a primitive long long millisec, however the language does not provide long long. Am thinking a double can be converted to two ints and submitted together. Any encounter something like this and have a solution?
ive got a c++ program that im writing, its a simple calculator, the way it runs is by the user entering a number then another number, then the operand..what i need to know is how to carry out a check on the two integers so that only a number can be input, if anything else is then the program returns to the "insert first integer" code.
Is there anyway of changing an integer of 100, into a 1, 0 and another 0?In context, I've got game with a score. Every time you pick up a coin, it adds 10 to the score, there's 20 coins (so a max score of 200 possible). I've got numbers 0-9 as seperate images. The score currently is a single three digit integer, and I need it to be represented as three single digit integers so I can assign those to an image.
OK, I am trying to do my first simple user authentication for a test built in Flash. I'm just checking to see if someone with the same name and email exists in the mySQL database and then echoing out entryAllowed=false if they exist.
Code: PHP Code: //query is successful and these vars trace out in flash
I have created a site that calls in text from an external .txt file. The text file is a flat file that is updateable using PHP. What I need is for the Flash site to reflect the current contents of the text file each time it's updated through the PHP interface. I'm using the standard:
I did get it to 'kind of work' at one point, but the output text would flash 'undefined', then show the contents of my text file, then go blank then start that loop over again. Not acceptable.
I am converting a class into AS3 (was AS2). What would be the best way to replace the loadVars ? This is how the code looked like in AS2
ActionScript Code: public function load(csvPath:String): void { // Use the LoadVars class to load in the CSV file as a String var csvLoad:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
I have managed to develop code that will run a php script by passing a variable (obtained from a combobox control) to the MySQL database. Initially this works fine but if I try to repeat the excercise using a different value nothing happens.[code]...
