ActionScript 2.0 :: Saving And Returning In Flash?
Mar 21, 2007
know if it is possible to use PHP/mySQL or using just actionscript to save current status of the flash file section that you were currently viewing and returning to the same section at a later stage when you log back onto the website. What I mean is using a log in/log out script. e.g. > I am at a website (flash of course):> I sign in> start at section one of the website (homepage)> Use website> get to section seven of the website> log off> return later and log on to the website with my user id and password again.
In a nutshell, I have a for loop updating a dynamic text element but it seems to iterate so fast that only the last item in the loop is updating the text. I'd like the dynamic text element to be updated with EACH item in the loop, not just the last.I have a single frame movie where I create a simple array of strings from an external text file:
_global.i = 0; _global.numplaces = 0; _global.PlacesArray = new Array();
[code]....
The traces work fine and show that the for loop is iterating properly. However the place.htmlText dynamic text in a movie nested one level down (for tweening purposes) that I'd like the loop to update is only updating with the last item in the array.
I have this class that basically reads a json file and then places it into an array, which I then want to pass back to the var set etc, how do i go about this:I have the following at present:Heres part of my list class:
Code:
... the normal import etc of stuff above then the following.... public function loadVideoList(_videoURL:String=""):void { try{
I'm having a problem with my flash-php-sql integration, my text output in flash keeps on returning NaN even if the data in mysql has a valid number(double).
I'm trying to return XML from an event complete back to the main function, but can't figure out how to do it.Here's the functions I'm calling:Main File:
public var mySendAndLoad:SendAndLoad = new SendAndLoad(); mySendAndLoad.sendData(url,variables) The mySendAndLoad class:
In the platform game I'm making, I have a movieclip level/stage with the platforms (which are there own class) added in. I'm trying to load those platforms into an array for future use, but as I keep on getting null. Take a look at the code:
package { public class StageLevel1Test extends StageManager { private var _platformListCntr:Number = 0;
I am trying to connect to an FMS application without flash (no SWF). To the best of my knowledge,the only way to accomplish this is thru the admin APIs, is that correct? If so, how do I return meaningful values from the admin API? I can call functions and stuff using the broadcastMsg API call but I can't seem to get back any values. All that is returned is a useless "Success" type message. I have tried using shared objects and the getSharedObjects API call, but the call doesn't return any info on the contents of the shared objects, just their names and some info on their persistance.
Is there another way of accomplishing my goal outside of the Admin API? If not how do I return meaningful variables from the Admin API? Is there a way to hack or extend the admin API?
I am trying to implement paypal payment in as3. But the return variable conflicts with an as3 keyword. So how to set return variable for returning from paypal to merchant site.
I'm calling a JS function with ExternalInterface.call and trying to get a return value inside Flash. When I trace out the op variable I get 0 instead of 500. Is there something wrong with my embed code?[code]
I seem to have an issue with a flash I have written. The person who I made it for is telling me that first time he loads the page with the Flash in it, it loads fine. However, at this point if he navigates to another portion of the site, then goes back to the Flash page, he says it freezes on the loading bar. Consistently everytime, but only on his work computer, not home computer or lap-top. I think it might be a caching issue in IE, but I am kind of stumped, anyone ever experience this?
I am currently working on a project that involves dropping objects (scrabble letters) onto different cells in a table. My project also involved multiple levels. My layout is rather basic. I have a a bunch of tiles (25 letters) above a 2-columns table (left side for definition, right for answers). The table is static from frame 1 til the end (no keyframe, blankframe, etc.). The problem is as follows: The exercise starts fine with the first Level, then I click a button to access the next level, and so on... Going FORWARD on the timeline seems to be working OK, I am able to complete each levels in succession. However, if I decide to go backwards (replay a previous level) I can no longer place tiles on my table (hitTestPoint not returning what it should). I checked and my "target" is indeed there but somehow the hit test does not register.
I'm trying to calculate an X/Y vector (calling it angle here) in code. Don't know hot to do static methods yet, so I'm doing the following in my class:
In Actionscript 2 I find that I cannot have a "private function set" without returning the error "A member attribute was used incorrectly." If I change it to "public function set" I'm fine but that defeats the goal of trying to protect the function from setting externally
Im trying to save from fla or swf to .mov or .avi. without having to buy a 3rd party app.I've tried exporting from Flash but both my computers just sit there and don't finish the job.I can't see any options to save as an .avi file either.I've tried opening both the swf and fla files in Quicktime with Perian
I have made a cartoon section that needs to go into a video movie, it uses a lot of movie clips etc. It needs to be very high resolution- 1920x1080 When I just export it as an avi, none of the movie clips animate- they just slide around on the first frame of their animations.
When I export is as a .mov the file size is huge and I am not even offered the ability to compress it. It is like 8 gigs. When it was finally done the movie played in slow motion- the clip was about twice as long as it should have been.When I saved the file as an swf, and then tried to convert it to an avi using a converter, all the movie clips moved in doubletime, while the animations in the timeline were fine. How can I get my flash file to play in a standard video format.
I've recently upgraded to Flash CS4. However, the project I'm currently working on was started in CS3 and I need to keep it as a CS3 as I transfer the .fla file between two computers because one only has Flash CS3. Is there way of setting it so when I click 'Save' or Ctrl+S it saves it automatically as a CS3 fla, rather than automatically converting it from a CS3 to CS4 file? I'm serial Ctrl+S hitter so this is getting really annoying now having to go to File>Save As everytime!
I am trying to take a variable sent from flash, and save it to a spot on my web server using PHP, I have NO idea how to do this, and I can't seem to find code that works anywhere on the web
I've been all over the interwebs, including Stack Overflow, for hours, trying to identify a solid, workable example of saving information in Flash into an XML file.
I want to take the positions of two different types of objects and export the lists of each to XML. We'll call the objects ball and bat.
Is it possible to set up FDT so that it only builds the workspace when I save (as opposed to constantly or manually) like it does in Flash Builder (previously Flex Builder) and if so, how?
I need to edit some CS5 files but don't have CS5. If anyone could open these and save them down to CS4 I'd be hugely grateful. There are 4 files. If there's a way I can return the favour I will. eg some beer money via PayPal.
I need to have a Quicktime.mov file play inside an .swf using the QT controller. According to [URL]
1. Do one of the following:To link the video clip directly to the current Flash document, select File > Import > Import To Stage.To link the video clip to the library for the current Flash document, select File > Import > Import To Library.
2. Select Link To External Video File, and click Next.
3. If you imported the video clip directly to the Stage in step 1, a warning appears if the imported clip contains more frames than the span in which you are placing it in the current Flash document.Do one of the following:To extend the span the required number of frames, click Yes.To keep the span at its current size, click No. Frames in the imported clip that exceed the frames in the span do not appear unless you subsequently add frames to the span.
4. Select Control > Play. Preview a linked QuickTime video before you publish your SWF file. When you import a linked QuickTime video, Flash adds the required number of frames to preview the QuickTime video, the same as it does for an embedded video.
Note: You cannot use the Test Movie command to preview linked QuickTime video content.[URL]
