ActionScript 2.0 :: OnLoad Function - Reading Text File
Feb 16, 2008
Code:
onLoad=function() {
my_text=new LoadVars()
my_text.load("C:\Documents and Settings\Wrkspace\Desktop\flash_wordlist.txt");
my_wordlist="";
} my_text.onLoad=function(success) {
if(success) {
my_wordlist=(this.var_wordlist).split(" ");
trace(my_wordlist)
}}
The trace doesn't showup at all....by the way, this is in the first frame of the timeline, and i am trying to load a wordlist and then use the words in my program separately. Is it because flash loads the text file slowly? I am using flash 8, AS2.

I am writting an image gallery that loads one intial xml file named galleries.xml.From this point each xml node loads a XMl file for that gallery that holds all the images.The problem arises in the fact that to do this I need a onload function within an onload function.Onload functions dont accept parameters so I can pass down the variable that shows what loop the gallery loop is on as I need that in the function that holds the images.

This is where the path_var becomes undefined
trace("This is outside the function... "+path_var);
pathVar1="This is outside the function... "+path_var;

I turn to you for help, dear sweet Kirupa Forumites. First, let me explain the problem: I have a flash file reading an external text file for the content. Everything works perfectly for nearly everyone - you click a menu button, and the content text comes up fine. However, a couple of people have found that the text shows up as "undefined". I have checked the player versions of the people where it doesn't work, and it is the same as for those where it does work, so that ain't the problem.
I don't understand why it works perfectly for nearly everyone, but a small number of people have this "undefined" text problem. It seems to be a problem with loading the external text file, but I don't know why. I have a main flash movie, and load the text in the first frame, using the following:
var my_content = new LoadVars();
my_content.load("content.txt");
my_content.onLoad = function(success){
if (success){
[Code]...
I then have a couple of dynamic text boxes in the main movie - one called ErrorText (for displaying an error message to the user) and one called ContentText (for displaying the content). I use an external menu swf which jumps to a specific frame in the main movie, depending on which button is clicked. Actionscript on the main movie frame for the first button does the following, with the other frames similarly configured:
ContentText.htmlText = my_content.content1;
stop();
My external text file is properly configured (content1=blah blah&content2=other blah blah) etc.
Does anyone have any advice on how I can solve this particular weird problem??

Quick question. Ofcourse I know that you can read flash variables from a text file, which is formatted like: @var1=firstVariable@var2=secondVariable and so on.But is there a way to read normal text out of a textfile? Is it through the bytearray class?

i dont even really know what xml is... i saw somthin with sql and somthin else on here (cant remember what) but i dont know what those are either... so umm i was wondering if there is a basic way to just read in from a text file... a command or anything... to load from a local text file into a dynamic text box... i wanna make a flash site with like a weblog... but i just wanna type in the text file instead of modifying the fla every time i wanna update... so is there an easy way to do it... or a place you know where there is a tutorial on it?

Is there a way to do file reading and writing in flash, like using actionscript 2.0? Just like how we do it in C++. Like read variables or a string from a .txt file and write in it.

I am using flash 8 and I have succeeded so far in loading variables from a text file that contains around 20 lines and have the variables displayed in texboxes. The problem is that it goes directly to the last line and displays those variables. I need it to read the first line only and stop so I can add a "next" and "previous" buttons and be able to navigate through the database.

i have a text area, set to multiline. For some reason, when my text imported from xml shows up in the box, it starts several lines down into the box. So for example, my Text box is positioned with the top at the midpoint of my stage, but the text starts about 3/4 down the page, about half way down the text box. Can someone please tell me why this is happening and what I can do to fix it?
I noticed that when I put my cursor in the box and move it up and down, the rest of the text 'scrolls' into the frame, but otherwise it's cut off.

Once the text file is assigned to a variable, spaces for example are replaced by %5F.My text file: bddtxt.txt Content of text file: 1_1_0,2 3_2 3 4_0,4_5_0,5_6 7_0,6_8_0,7 8_9 10_0,9_11_0 My script (Flash 6):

When I open a text document containing 1 string of a Base64 Encoded Image, it works fine:
ActionScript Code:
import flash.display.Loader;
import flash.utils.ByteArray;
[code]...
The image displays and that's great, but I need to display multiple images; therefore, I used the standard format: var1=value1&var2=value2&... (In reality, the values are the huge base64 strings.) Then I just needed to add "my_loader.dataFormat = URLLoaderDataFormat.VARIABLES;" since the format of my source changed. The thing that bugs me is that I'm tracing the imgB64Str after I set it and it traces fine (just like the other version).
ActionScript Code:
import flash.display.Loader;
import flash.utils.ByteArray;
[code]...
It runs with no errors, but the image no longer displays.

...Anyway. Since college happened, I'm used to C++ storing data in .txt files and reading in from there. I'm trying to make a monopoly remake for something to do while Christmas comes, and I wanted to store all the card information somewhere. I thought of storing it in some sort of "Information Class" or perhaps just a text file.
how does AS3 read from text files?

Is there a way that I can run a function when it first loads, as if it wasn't inside of the function, but still be able to call that block of code as a function later on? For example if I did...
Code:
someFunction();
function someFunction():void{
//do this
}
It wouldn't work correctly.. I need it to do what is inside the function as if it wasn't in the function, which it loads, but also be able to call it again later on.

load XML data (it parses automatically), parse through the XML tree and assign the values to an array of my choosing for access later in the movie. I can load the XML data, but the only time I can access the XML functions, i.e. XML.firstChild, or XML.getChildNodes(), is when I am within an XML. onLoad function.[code]Shouldn't I be able to call these XML function and properties from anywhere? not just within the XML.onLoad function? I look at other people's scripts and they do it, but I can't?I created a function that parses through the data and puts it into an array. And that works well if I say XMLdata.onLoad = my_array_funtion();But the problem is, if I do it that way I can't get the array out of the function. I can't return the value because the function is being called from an onLoad event and the return value of the function isn't assigned to a variable. So the array I create is worthless.And there is no way to call the function, and have the XML.functions, i.e. XML.firstChild, to work outside of an XML.onLoad event. Is there? Please tell me there is a way.I tried assigning the array to a global variable, but evidently you can't modify _globals within a function.Ultimately, I need this array because later in the script I use the data on the fly, and I want instant access to it.

I can't figure out why this doesn't work. I need to pass the text in the xml file to an object that needs to be created outside of the onload function so i need access to the data out side of that function. I've declared variables to store the data at the class level which i thought would give me access to the databelow is the code:
Code:
package {
import flash.display.MovieClip;

I've been searching this problem for a while and have tried a number of solutions found on google but nothing has worked so far. I'm sure this is a common problem, but due to my lack of flash knowledge I can't logically work through it as I'm used to windows form development, it makes sense to me that the function could access the variables I have defined but they dissapear after the .onLoad event. Does anyone know the common solution to this problem? I want to be able to pass the xml details into the local variables so I can pass on the details into a dynamic text field when movies are hovered over etc
var myXML:XML = new XML();
myXML.ignoreWhite=true;
var nav1Text:String;

I have 2 swf's:
Section.swf (to be loaded in main)
Main.swf
In section.swf, on the first frame I have this:
[AS]
onLoad = function(){
// start doing stuff
}[/AS]
When I run the section.swf on its own, the onload function works, and the "doing stuff" code runs. But when I load it into main, this onload (within the section.swf, above) does not run!

I would like to break a for-loop. It should be easy with "break;", but there is a slight complication to the code - the for-loop contains a function from within which I want to be able to break the loop. Here is a codesnippet:

So, somehow, I want to break the for-loop from within the onLoad-function. Is that possible with some other code (this ofcourse doesnt work)?
