ActionScript 2.0 :: Read Info From Text File?

Jan 30, 2009

I'm making a yearbook for my school and I have A LOT of information to be shown on it (in case you were wondering, its a digital year book lol). Theres a certain page that has all the headshots of all the students, and when the picture is clicked, a new scene opens with the information on the student (along with fancy opening animations). Firstly, is that the easiest way to do it, or can i have an overlapping MC that appears over the pictures, fading out or blurring the background, then click an X to shrink and fade out and unblur the background...Secondly, is there a way to create a template thingo for this MC or scene so that it can automatically read data from an xml or text file and place it in the appropriate position for that name. For example-the text would look like this

"bob_bio"
pic:"C:~~obphoto.jpeg"

ActionScript 3.0 :: Read Info From Txt File To XML Line?

Mar 4, 2011

Below, I will copy the code I am using and I have placed to .fla file and images online, but I cannot place the link here (don't have enough posts yet), so ask me if you want.he script runs perfectly and loads its parameters from the "hardcodedXML" variable. This way, however, whenever the images and their information need to be changed, someone with knowledge of flash and AS will need to open the sourcecode and alter the "hardcodedXML".I am currently assigned to make a renewed website for my employers and would like to enable them (no knowledge of flash or AS whatsoever) to edit the contents of the scroll box. The easiest way for "dummies" is to have a .txt file in the same directory, that contains the stuff that is put in the "hardcodedXML" right now.My actual question/problem: how can I create a txt file that is read by the script, to store the string in "hardcodedXML" (the current string that is hard coded looks like "<photos>...</photos>".I've tried searching Google, but didn't come up with anything.

ActionScript Code:
import fl.data.DataProvider;
import fl.events.ListEvent;

ActionScript 2.0 :: Pulling Multiple Info From Text File

Jan 28, 2009

I am currently trying to modify a hangman game I found on here (URL...). I'm not very good at actionscript and hopefully this will be a good exercise to learn more - I really want to learn how to make games. I have seen hangman games that include clues for words, but the only games I can find that I can read the source in don't have a clue field, and pull the words from an external .txt file. Is there a way of also pulling phrases to be as clues from these files? I could just create another .txt file and make it a new variable, but of course I would have the problem of it not matching the word. I hope i made sense.

Linux :: Intercept A Request To Read A Particular File And Instead Generate The Apparent Output Of That File Read Programatically

Mar 31, 2010

A friend of mine has a Flash Action script running on a LAMP server that currently reads an xml config file. He's asked me if it's possible to remove the xml file, and replace it somehow with a system (lets call it an 'auto xml generator') that intercepts the request to read that file and generates an output, so it appears to all intents and purposes as if the file still exists and contains the contents that has actually been returned from our auto xml generator'

Read A Local Text File Using Flash Or Javascript?

Feb 23, 2010

Is there any hook to react to a user drag and dropping a text file onto a browser? If the user drops a text file onto the browser with my page loaded, I'd like to be able to open the contents of the text file using javascript. I don't think this is possible, but just checking.

Is something like this possible in flash?

As an alternate, the user could specify a file path for me, then I could open the text file and read it. Seems like this is a security risk and probably won't be allowed, but just checking. It looks like this is possible with flash 10?

Calibri Font Display Is Unclear If Text Is Read From Xml File

Nov 14, 2009

when the flash file reads text from a xml file, the font display is unclear. when the text is embedded in the flash, it appears clearly

problem in detail -

i am unable to resolve this problem despite my best efforts. see '~about.fla'. it has been decompiled from a swf file as the original source code was not available (can this be causing the problem?). the xml folder resides in the same folder as '~about.fla'. it contains 'about.xml'. you can download these files at [URL]
 
i discovered a problem - if you view 'about.swf' - when you click on 'history' link, you can see that the text is distorted. this text is read from the xml file. but is you click on the 'key people' link, you can see that the text appears perfectly. this text is embedded in the flash itself.

i have given the screenshots 'text is unclear.jpg' and 'text is clear.jpg' to further explain my query.

ActionScript 3 :: Read Text File And See Lines In Multiple Frames

Feb 11, 2012

I would like to see a line of a text file on the frame that I want (and view it in a dynamic text). This is my text file:
Foo
Candy
Bar
Dog

This is my code in the first frame:
var myTextLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
firstLine.wordWrap=true;
firstLine.autoSize=TextFieldAutoSize.LEFT;
myTextLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onLoaded);
function onLoaded(e:Event):void {
[Code] .....

With this I can see "Foo" in the first frame. How could I see "Candy"? a second frame. Is it repeated all this code again? Is there any way to just invoke the Lines array:
Array = e.target.data.split (/ n /)
And obtain the desired Item?

Anyway...I know that you can type the text in Word and then save it as plain text with the CR/LF changed into either CR or LF.For me it works fine and so will it for most of you.I'm writing a website for a firm who has someone to update the textfiles the site is reading. She is cute, but I want to make the darn thing fool proof of course. So isn't there a way to read the text file, search for double linefeeds and skip it before it is placed into the textframe? Just to tell her to type the info into notepad and then WYSIWYG? (It's going to be code-free, so no bold, italics etc.)
