ActionScript 2.0 :: Parsing XML Loaded From Embed Statement?
Jul 7, 2007
I don't know if I'm using the correctly terminology but I've made a movie rater in flash for MySpace. The problem is it doesn't allow script access. The music players on MySpace load xml files through the embed statment.
Now, I've done the same thing using this:
[URL]
I know how to read xml files in actionscript (variable=moviedata.xml.firstchild.firstchild.node value; ) and all that good stuff. The problem is, I don't know how to read an xml file that has been loaded this way with out the actual load commands being in the swf itself.

how memory is assigned for an embedded graphic? I'm using an embed statement to include a 240kb splash screen into my code and it seems to massively increase the memory usage out of all proportion to its size.
ActionScript Code:
[Embed(source = '../splash.png')]public var splashScr:Class;
private var ss:Bitmap;
[Code].....
With a 1kb splash screen an ongoing trace of system memory bottoms out at ~3500kb, whereas with the 240kb screen it never drops below ~6500kb.

Just looking for some advice/leads on "best practices" for protecting a sensitive id (personally identifiable information) I've got a Java-based webapp (JSPs, Servlets, etc) that is going to need to embed a SWF file running on a trusted 3rd party site.
As part of embedding the SWF file, I'm going to need to pass a parameter in the block containing the currently logged in customer's ID. Question: knowing that I have a Java stack and not really knowing (or caring) what technology stack the SWF hoster has, what's the best way of encrypting that customerID such that someone who views source and starts trying to change the customer ID parameter can't suddenly get a SWF that's not related to them?

I am trying to import data from a SVG but as i found out, SVG is essentially XML.I have loaded in the SVG file and managed to output this to the output window:
Code:
<svg:path style="fill:#000000;fill-opacity:1;fill-rule:evenodd;stroke:none;stroke-width:1px;stroke-linecap:butt;stroke-linejoin:miter;stroke-opacity:1" d="M 53.8125,53.21875 L 52.84375,53.4375 z" id="path2435"/>The information i want to extract from this the M and L values.
Code:
d="M 53.8125,53.21875 L 52.84375,53.4375" Firstly im not really sure how to shave off the rest of the garbage to leave me with the above.Then comes the issue of actually finding what i want to work with. I want to end up with an array of Point objects, So in this example, i would have 2 points in my array:
point1 = (53.8125) , (53.2187)
point2 = (52.8437) , (54.4375)
This seems hugely complicated so i was wondering if anyone can enlighten me? Do i need to use regular expressions for what i want to do and if so, do you have any tips?

I have the same swf externally loaded over multiple frames. I am hoping to be able to check to see if the swf is loaded, if not then load it into the container movieclip or else don't load the swf.

I am initiating loading a swf file, "bg1.swf". I have a button that, when clicked, is suppose to check to see if "bg1.swf" is loaded.I cant figure out how to write the conditional "if" part. Currently, instead of checking to see if my statement is actually true, it executes loading bg1Req? Here is the code .
var bgLoader:Loader = new Loader();
var bg1Req = new URLRequest("bg1.swf");
var bg2Req = new URLRequest("bg2.swf");

Just starting to delve into as3. I have made a flash website with four navigation buttons (home, products, about, contact). When user clicks on "products", an external movie clip is loaded and everything works fine. User clicks any button after that, and myLoader.unloadAndStop, the swf is removed when you navigate away from "products". However, if the "home", "about", or "contact" buttons are clicked first (before the external swf has been loaded), it of course, throws the 1009 error.I need some sort of if/else statement to check whether or not the external swf is loaded, remove it if it is, and if not, just navigate to the "page" clicked.[code]

Trying to get a MovieClipLoader to work for me... This code is taken pretty much right from Macromedia's Help file. I get no error messages (yay), but I also get no trace statement (boo) or loaded clip (boo2). There *is* a clip named audioplayer.swf in the same directory as my file.

[Code]...
What I'm trying to do is: When this button is pressed, whatever is in the current news_Clip movieclip goes to frame 71 and plays till it reaches the end of the outro animation which is frame 101. When it reaches frame 101, I want to load a new swf into news_Clip. Using the above code, the contents of news_Clip does its outro animation but the new SWF is not loaded into it after reaching the end. I've been screwing around with this for the past 7 hours and can't figure out what I'm not doing or doing wrong.

I've got a little script that scales a video to the stage. The scaleing function has a switch statement to indicate what kind of scaling to apply.If I declare the case value of the switch statement internally all is fine. However if I load this value from an XML doc, even though the trace indicated the value has loaded, the switch never fires.
Code:
/stage variables
var sH:Number;
var sW:Number;
var _contentHolder = new Sprite();

is there a way to create an if statement that would load a movie clip after a different movieclip is loaded.i have text_mc and scroll_mc. I dont want scroll_mc to load unless the content is loaded into the text_mc.I tryed to make an if statement sort of like a something used for a preloader but I must have been off just a bit because it was not working. I dont even know if it possible.

I've been wondering how I could possibily do this for some time now. and all I tried or thought of went nowhere. I'd like to list all the variables an html embed tag passes on to the swf file called, whatever they are named and how many there is. <EMBED src="example.swf?var="varcontent",var2="var2content"> it's not life-threatening, but I hate using things that work when I have an idea for things that would work better x)

Having a few problems with what I thought was a simple if statement. Here is the code:

I can't quite figure out the small problem with the code. It seems to just bypass the first requirement of the if statement when I do type in the proper input and go straight to the else statement.

I dont want to copy the code from the first into the second and the first and second into the third.
My mind isn't working and there is probably an extremelly simple way to get this working.
I know I could used functions but for some reason it stops the instance referencing working: _root["bullet"+j] doesnt work in a function.

The Flash movie contains 2 Text files, one Component button, and 1 component checkbox.The purpose of the application is to load an XML file(works)Populate 2 text fields with information from the XML file(works)Compare the two text fields, if they contain the same information then the checkbox, via AS is told to be selected. (Heres the problem);
Heres the code:
Code:
runCode_btn.onPress = function() {
data_xml = new XML();
data_xml.ignoreWhite = true;
data_xml.onLoad = function(success) {
[code]....
The idea behind this app is that its an electronic form. The user fills it out, the information is then sent to a newly created XML file, months later the open the XML file in flash, and Flash fills out text fields and check and or unchecks Checkboxes based on the XML data.CheckBoxes are mandatory.But I don't see how I'll be able to use them if i can't create and condition statements based on the loaded Data.

what I'm trying to do is create an else if argument for each object in an array based on a user set number
Code:
for(var i:int=0; i < numberOfElseIfs; i++){
GENERATE AS3 CODE
}
to which I want it to GENERATE THE FOLLOWING CODE:
Code:
}else if(baskets[i].used == false){
baskets[i].used = true;
drawButton(i);
}
the problem is obviously that the compiler reads this code rather than understanding I'm trying to regenerate the code within the for loop...does that make sense :S? So basically I need as3 to read the code between the for statement as if it is going to echo that out later. Is this even possible?

We have a flex application which compiles fine on windows box using mxmlc ant task but when we try to run the same build scripts on linux, it throws the 'Invalid Embed directive in stylesheet' error indicating it is not able to resolve the path to the image files.
Can someone pls. educate me on if there is a difference in the way the image files are looked up, in a CSS file, on windows vs linux.
Flex sdk version is 3.3. The same sdk is used on both windows and linux. Not sure if this has been fixed by any future 3.x sdks.

Making a piano/keyboard application and trying to figure out the best way to set this up .I plan on having a directory of sounds for each 'instrument' in my assets folder (piano1/C4.mp3,piano1/D4.mpg,...)Is there a way to import/embed all of these as an array? Also is there a way I can pass a variable to this class to indicate which folder I want to import these from? Something that would be ideal
var type = "piano2"; //passed from class being called by
foreach(notes as note){
[Embed(source = 'assets/sounds/'+type +'/'+note+'.mp3')] private const C3:Class;
public var c3:Sfx = new Sfx(C3);
}
Or would it be a better idea to have a class for each of these "types" that pulls all notes?

I am using the following line before my class declaration .
[Embed(source="C:WINDOWSFontsVERDANA.TTF", fontName="VERDANA", mimeType="application/x-font-truetype", flashType = true)]
But there is no change in the appearance of the Text whatsoever.. I need the text to be crisp and clear.Just like the way it looks when we embed the fonts using the Embed... Button in the Flash IDE.

I've been experimenting with learning game coding and have encountered an issue I'm curious about...
At the moment I have 3 GIFs and 1 sound effect being used, with more to come. Now, is it more recommended to embed these files, which I'm been doing, or is it better to load them externally? To be honest, I really hate the idea of having to load them and would much prefer to embed them directly in to my project. What is the general consensus as to which technique is better?

I have a couple of questions that I hope someone can answer. I have this ActionScript that reads the XML file into the flash movie. The poblem is this: The XML is in this format:
<listitem name="TEST" url="rtmp://000.000.000.000/">
<stream len="-1" name="Test" start="0"/>
<group name="Testing"/>

This is my first day to try and use XML to display dynamic text in Flash. My skillset is weak with AS3 and Flash, but I found some tutorials online and I have managed to successfully display the first record in mytest.swf. However I also seem to have all records displaying in each dynamic text box as well. My loop isn't stopping after each record. It's reading everything. And dumping the results into each text field.
I need to only display each record individually. Once I accomplish that, I will need to include some form of navigation. Lets say buttons that perform a NEXT, PREVIOUS, LAST, FIRST type function. Then lastly, I'll need to include some type of search navigation option by item number. I assume that I'd have to have a second screen that links to my primary results screen with an input form for the item number.
