I am writing a small Flash script to display incoming SMS text messages. I have a text file that is constantly updated with the new messages, it's in the format:
mobile_number|message.......................|date| location
mobile_number|message.......................|date| location

I recently made a website and the links for the main page do not seem to link properly to their rightful pages when I put the site online (but it does work well when Im just testing the site on my computer in my Flash program) I know that the website I made is very large - so I was wondering if that could be a reason for why the pages don't load properly - also one of the pages links to another site and although that seems to work on my swf when I play it in my Flash player - it doesn't work when I put it online-
Finally my sound quality is not that great for the site. The songs are in mp3 format - would it be better to make them .wav files?
Or are all these problems related and its just that my computer does not have enough power to convert this massive flash website into a proper swf file? If this is my problem. What do I do?
The site that I made is [URL]
I have a Flash MX 2004 program that can't read .txt files from my server. Is it possible that it needs special permissions to do so? I'm using a free hosting plan from Godaddy (comes with the domain name plan), is there any way for my to change my permissions?
View 3 RepliesI'm trying to load the content of a XML file, that name is the same of the fla or swf file. By example, if my swf names "quiz.swf", I want that ActionScript loads a xml file with name "quiz.xml". So in this way many swf files can co-exist in the same folder and look for different xml files without conflict.

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?

View 8 Repliesi 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?
View 8 RepliesIs 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.
View 9 RepliesI have an input text box and I want the user to be able to enter a number in the text box and hit a button and it will jump to that frame of a movie clip. For some reason I can't get the input text to read the input as a number. I have tried using parseInt or Number, but it gives me this output instead. "<TEXTFORMAT LEADING="2"><P ALIGN="CENTER"><FONT FACE="Myriad Pro Light SemiCond" SIZE="13" COLOR="#000000" LETTERSPACING="0" KERNING="0">2</FONT></P></TEXTFORMAT>" when I just want it to say "2".
Here is the code I have linked to the button:
Code:
btn_newPage.onRelease = function (){
pageNum=parseInt(pageString);
[code]...
On the trace of pageString I get the text i put in above and then pageNum comes back as NaN.btn_newPage is the button they would click after they have input a page number in the input text box. pageString is the name of my input text box variable and I was trying to use pageNum to change it to a number. And doc_content is the movie clip I am trying to control.
Is there way to dynamicaly use the URL reference (File Link path ) from a external text file on any button events, ?

I need to make a countdown. I set 6 Minutes as the Default time, but then i decided to make it editable, so i created another frame where the user can set the minutes.So I created a TextInput form (SetMinutes) and I tried various codes, but any of this worked. You are my last chance, i'm trying to figure out this problem from a month but it seems i can't find any solution.CODES:Frame1 Code
gotoAndStop(1);
letsgo.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, startapp);

I need to make a small app accessible to screen reader.I'm managing to make buttons accessible, but I would also like to have a section of text accessible by screen readers so that users can hear what the text says.
I can't seem to work out how to do this.. I've tried various text controls and set them as focusEnabled, tabEnabled, i've set the accessibility* attributes too but it never seems to work, I cannot tab to a text label and hear the content.
I'm honestly a little new to accessiblity in Flex so apologies if i'm missing something obvious.
How can I use my array, which is now filled with the data from a text file, outside of the function from the URLLoader? Here the code:

ActionScript Code:
// create text fields to hold debug information.

this.createTextField("debug_txt", this.getNextHighestDepth(), 0, 20, 100, 22);

i have a dilemma. i want to create dynamic buttons that arrange itself spaced horizontally and im having a hard time getting it to read the width of the text inside the button.For example, each of those buttons are being referenced in the library and its text placed dynamically. How do I get it to read the length of "Home" so I can dynamically create the Menu button and so forth on the _x axis?Home / Menu / About Us / Contact I'm currently trying maxhscroll to read its width, but its not accurate at all once I embed a font to the dynamic text field.
View 2 RepliesI 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):

var liens = new LoadVars();
liens.load(_global.url+"bddtxt.txt");

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.
I would like to intergrate 6 pictures in my AS 2 website, that uses XML, but i cannot manage to do anything. I added a flash magazine, but what it only does, is keeping my website loading hard and jerky. so i wanted to put a simple gallery with 6 images, and zoom so the user can read the newspapers images well, like 200% zoom so the text would be visible to the viewer. When it clicks on any of the pictures or a separate button,the newspaper image goes zoomed like 200% and, when the mouse is out the image zooms out, or click on the separate button and the image zooms out as its initial state.

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.
...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?
i need a simple python lib that check the uploaded files to my webserver are flash media (FLV), by reading the flv header (metadata) and not the mimetype extension.
