View 1 RepliesI am trying to create .txt file dynamically from a Flash projector exe on to the local system for a game, Wherein the score and the players name should be stored.I have tried using the Loadvariable POST method to no avail.
View 1 RepliesI'm thinking about making a game that would have 3 "save slots", so you could play the game and then load the game later. If you were to save the game, basically flash would store a list of variable values into a text file.
Let's say I have game.swf in a folder named MyGame.Also in that folder I'll have save1.txt, save2.txt, and save3.txt. If I'm loading a game, I'd want Flash to open that txt file, read the values, and then set the variables equal to that in the text file. So if you open save1.txt and you see a=1, b=3, and c=2, I'd want flash to then take those values and set it's own same variable a = 1, b = 3, and c = 2.
On the other hand, if you're saving a game, let's say a=10, b=10, and c=10, I'd like it for flash to open save1.txt and replace the text there with a list of the current variables.Flash would need to do one more thing... if for some reason the file were deleted, Flash would need to create a new txt file. If the txt file is missing, you couldn't load, but if you're trying to save to save1.txt and that file doesn't exist, I'd need flash to create a new save1.txt and then put the variables into it.
Is there a possibility to read files from flash web application on client HDD form fix location (e.g. D: est) ?
View 3 RepliesI'm just beginning to learn actionscript (I'm using Flash CS4).There's this little project I'm working on as part of my learning activities.I have a folder with 12 jpgs and I want to randomly load 6 of them into 6 mc's that I already have in my stage. I say randomly because I would like to have different images everytime I play my little movie. I know that if the jpgs names where somewhat serialized (i.e. "pic1.jpg", "pic2.jpg", etc.) I could easily do it by creating a variable to contain the numeric part of the name and concatenate it with the rest of the name (or something like that).
The name of my jpgs are pure strings (like "basketball", "soccer", etc.).Can I (via actionscript) read those names and push them into an array even though the names are pure alphabetical strings?If this is possible, I think I can figure out the randomizing after pushing the names into the array.
I am trying to get Flash to read my txt files with load(). Everything worked, until something happend. Suddenly I couldn't read my files. [URL]. And it just wont work. I Use CS3 with AS2.

Is it possible to zip/compress assets files into binary or .bin format through Actionscript or AIR? The compressed file will be in binary and can only be read by Actionscript which then parses the file.
Right now I am only able to read/write zip files using nochump's amazing library. I tried using AIR to write the bytes to disk and save it as filename.bin but I am still able to read filename.bin using 7-zip.
The objective is to protect my asset files as much as possible. Are there any other ways?
is there a way to have flash read swf from a directory dynamicaly. so if you add a new one it reads it and you could have a next and previouse button to dynamicly browse throught them.
this way you could just upload new swf and it would automaticaly add it to the set so when you hit next at the end it would read the new one.
use loadVars to read variables from .txt files on a different server with flash, do any of you know because I'm getting really annoyed?

View 4 RepliesI'm going to implement a file uploading application using flex 3.5 and php.

We are in the process of developing a CRM application and for that we need to upload *.doc and *.docx files and display that contents.
We successfully uploaded the *.doc and *.docx files in application by using FileReference and FileReferenceList. Would you please tell me some idea to read the contents from *.doc and *.docx files and to display the uploaded file content into flex text area.
I am using html in xml for some names in actionscript and there is ;quot;
Here is my variable where I want actionscript to read the name as html. Instead of normal text.
var field:TextField = currItem.createH3Black(0, 0, 180, 10, h3Size, h3Leading, font, "Left", _root.white, currItem.name.toUpperCase(), "textItem");
How do I make actionscript treadt the currItem.name.toUpperCase() as html? So that the name shows as HTM with "" . Instead of showing ;quot;

Recently I found out that event experienced flash developers do not know that it is possible to get "trace" content of flash movies outside of Flash IDE. This was kind of a surprise for me because I was using flash tracer for years already and I know what a pain it is when your flash application works fine in IDE and then fails fo load in browser.Are you still reading trace statements of your flash movies and applications from Flash IDE? Then this tool is for you.http:[url]....
It allows you to read all the "trace" statements of SWF files without adding any extra code! It works in Firefox, IE, Chrome, Safari, Flash IDE, Adobe AIR. Vizzy runs out-of-the-box and configures your environment for you to start debugging your flash applications immediately (automatic mm.cfg file creation, determining location, debug flash player detection, etc.)More features
* Allows you to watch trace outside of Flash IDE
* Allows you to see trace in all browsers like Internet Explorer,Firefox, Safari, Chrome, Opera and others * Allows you to see trace in AIR applications
* Cross-platform (Windows, Mac, Linux) * Customize font and font size * Automatically creates mm.cfg file * Automatically detects flashlog.txt file location * Comma separated filtering * Allows to set max limit of bytes loaded from the end of flashlog.txt * and much more...
I'm developing an application and because of certain design restrictions I have to do it in Flash. This application communicates with another one done in c++, but just because I need a couple strings, so I thought it would be easy to write them to a .txt file and parse it. But the only way I've found so far is adding a browse event handler and select the file manually. That's no good for me, I need the file to be read automatically given a path, something like:
var data:ByteArray = fileRef['C:whateverPath'];
var loader:Loader = new Loader();
loader.loadBytes(data);
I have been told something several months ago and from then I am wondering how can I read text from a textField in flash with the OS? Is this possible to make program that reads the text?
View 4 RepliesWhat I want is for flash to grab files from a directory without knowing what files are there. I dont think it's possible with AS3 but I'm not too sure about XML, and if I can get it into a xml file, then i can ccess it from as3. The concept might be confusing so an example would be if I had a mp3 player and I wanted to play files from a certain directory but not know what files were in that directory. I would assume XML can "scan" folders for files with a specified exstention and store that information in an array of somesort.

var fileURL = fl.browseForFileURL("open", "Select file");

I went through this tutorial and i pretty much understood how to extract data from nodes. I got a few questions though. (I'm new to flash and AS) How do you apply a getURL to a text? if i use "getURL" as such, it opens the page without being clicked on. And if i use onRelease, it'll cause an error because i don't have any buttons.

I am setting up a page that will read in data from an xml file. Text on the page will de read from the xml file and siplayed on the screen. I am also reading a website in from the xml file that I would like some of the the text to link to. Everything is reading in correctly, and displaying correctly, but I can't seem to get the text link to work.

I'm used to java so i can pick up some things fast. If thats used in the AS template from the tutorial it works pretty well except that the link opens up without it being clicked on. I'd like to learn how to link a piece of text.Secondly, from the RSS there are several such links, how would i go about a for loop? or an If statement? Could i do something like "if nodeName = URL" do something?
