ActionScript 2.0 :: Reload Variables From Txt File Every X Minutes?
Nov 14, 2009
I am trying to create something in which even when the flash file is already loaded and never closed, it will update itself. All the variables that are changing are pulled from a text file and loaded using
myData = new LoadVars();
myData.onLoad = function(){
and then I set all of the variables of the text equal to dynamic text fields. My question is: Is it possible to have it reload this text file (reset the text fields to the new variable) every so often?

I have a flash header that receives random text from a database through a PHP page. I'm using the loadVariables function to bring in the first random text and that works fine. I then have a button that should access the PHP again and retrieve another random text set from the database (once again using the loadVariables function).
Whenever I use the loadVariables function on the button to renew the random text, it brings up the same text over and over again. When I use loadVariablesNum it works, but opens up a blank page with the output of the variables (getURL also works, opening up a blank page).
Is there a way for me to use the loadVariablesNum without having the page popup with the variables printed out? Or better yet, is there a way to just use the loadVariables to renew the info?

I have been searching and trying different methods to locate how to calculate minutes and seconds of an audio file that has been loaded within my public class. Does anyone know how to get seconds/minutes with a loaded sound object? I can easily do it with video, but it seems a bit harder to find info on calculating sound object length in minutes and seconds.
Currently, my class:Loads the mp3 file Contains pause/play, mute/unmute buttons and they function beautifully A scrub bar - this is the piece I am currently working on. I want to add a current time and total time (minutes/seconds)Scrub bar contains progress area bar - already built and functioning

I'm trying to show a loop of SWF/JPG files in an existing SWF file. A timer decides when to load the new file and the external files are showing and scaling correctly during the first loop, but when the loop has run once I get really odd values on the external files with the Loader.height and Loader.width properties. The files have the following height values during the first loop: 278, 286, 278 and 787. During the second loop they all of a sudden have the following values, and of course don't scale correctly: 101.05, 786.8, 101.05, 2165.15.[code]...

I have a slide show swf file in AS3 that gets the paths froman XMlL file. The problem is that I change the XML file every dayand unless a viewer empties their cache, they get the old slides.There is a technique where you add ?mathRandom() code at theend of the XML path inside the .swf file, but from all I have readand believe, this only adds to ones cache and could irresponsiblyfill a viewers cache.Does anyone know a way to use actionscript 3 inside the .swffile to force a reload of the XML file if the browser has beenopened for the first time?

I'm trying to create a method of saving data to disk in Flash.
Uploading the data to a PHP server works... well enough I guess. The issue is that when I go to reload the data, the file has been cached, and so I can't load the saved changes.
Is there a way to force flash to reload a file? Or clear it's current cached version?

This seem like a silly question but as far as I've found: It's impossible to reload an xml file from a remote location while the SWF is running.
For example, I have a kiosk project that will run 24/7 (with a restart each night). I have an "calendar events" loading off an XML file that I want to keep on a webserver so I can update the kiosk by editing the XML file. However, the SWF caches the first XML file and keeps reusing it. I'm testing this by triggering a function that reloads the XML file with a button click.
I found trick that concats a unique ID to the file name which prevents using the old file but that means I'll have an ever growing list of XML files in the Temporary Internet Files folder.

I'm a newbie at programming and had performed serveral search on the net without much useful results. For all you programmer guru out there, please lend me a hand if you can.I am using flash version 5.0. I have 7 flash movie files within one working flash file and only 4 movie files gets display on an HTML page at a time. I need a script that will randomize the appearance of the movie files each time the browser gets refresh. But the script should only randomize 2 of the 4 movie files.
So for example, say I have movie files named 1 to 7. On browser load, I have movie file, 1,2,3 and 4 displayed. Now when a user refresh browser, I want movie file, 1 and 4 to be replaced by either movie file 5,6, or 7 (ie. random diplay of file).This might sounds confusing or I might not be explaining it well, but if you go to www.standpipe.com you will see what I mean. Look at the Case studies section, there are 4 movie files being displayed.

When I deploy a new .swf file in an HTML file as shown below, I have to clear the browser cache before the new .swf file loads in the browser. Is there anyway to force the browser to load the .swf file when I replace it with a new one on the server.

Im pretty new with the flash -> php -> mysql thing .. And I have made a script that sends some variables (that a user inserts in some input forms) with some var names, and then php handles it and insert it into my MySQL database its kinda ugly that a page pops up and opens the php page.So I was wonderin' if there is some way to send the variables to the php file and process them inside the flash file. without openin' some fancy browser window ?

I have basic knowledge of Flash and AS3.0. Suppose i have a flash swf file(main.swf). In this main.swf file, i loaded another swf file(sub.swf) by writing the following code snippet in main.swf file as shown below:
var textLdr:Loader=new Loader();
var noteUrl:String = "AddNote.swf";
var noteUrlReq:URLRequest=new URLRequest(noteUrl); textLdr.load(noteUrlReq);
addChild(textLdr);
Now, how to acess the data present in main.swf into sub.swf.Note: Here data represents values/data stored in variables/objects of main.swf file.

I just upgraded to Flash CS4 on my laptop. program that used to take 5 seconds now takes up to 2 minutes. I installed the 10.0.2 update, and searched the web for a solution. I am desperate because all of my programming is based on CS4. I know how to compile a swc and use FlashDevelop with the compiled graphics, but this isn't a solution for me. Whenever I need to make changes to the graphics I can't wait this long. I am using an HP dv5-1190. This meets the minimum requirements by far.

I am working in Flash5. My problem is that I want my animation to run after every 5 minutes.
I mean that when I run my fla file, it should load my animation when 5 minutes has passed, then there should be a break and screen should become blank and then again after 5 minutes it should appear and run. I want this process to keep on happening. If this is not possible, can that be done through HTML code as I want to put it on my web page, what would be the html coding in that case. An important point is that, I want the coding to be in FLASH5, if done in flash.

I am rather new to actionscripting and am looking for a script or something that will automatically return to frame 1 after 5 minutes of inactivity and then reset the timer. It will be used on an interactive sign that the user can click through like a website but I want it to reset so when the next user uses it, they begin at the main page. I am using Actionscript 2, with CS3 on a Mac. I have tried different scripts that I have found on the net and can't get anything to work.
