ActionScript 2.0 :: Some Variables Aren't Reloading From Text File?
May 19, 2011
I have 6 variables that load into 6 different dynamic text boxes. They all load fine when I load them, but only the first one updates after 6 seconds. I have them all set to update after 6 seconds. Here is the code that is working fine followed by the code that isn't. I'm using CS5.5
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 am working on a flash website and i have for the first time made everything dynamically loading from outside of the SWF to reduce the file size. I have a text file which is dynamically loaded into a text box, which i have defined in a variable called "textfile". I want to reload the movieclip on the click of a button and at the same time change the variable for the text file to be opened into the text box. so as i click content, the variable changes to content and the movieclip reloads, showing content.txt in the text box
I know there were many messages posted regarding sending variables from flash to php. I wrote a small code where in I used send() method of LoadVar object, it sends the message but it reloads the php page which I do not want it to do. I tried using sendAndLoad() and here it does not send any variable at all. Below is my sample code.

I'm trying to compile an SWC file and everything works great until the part where it needs to add components, none of them added added to the .swc file at all.
The original file should be somewhere around 211 KB and when i compile it its only 1.64 KB, after unpacking the .swc and then the .swf inside it i can see that there is no components added at all.
BTW some components showing some errors but i dont think its a reason to not include ALL the components because the errors are like:
Description Resource Path Location Type 1084: Syntax error: expecting rightparen before leftbrace. XXX.as /XXX/[source path] src/com/XXX line 1469 Flex Problem
What could the problem be? ask me if you need some future info cause i don't really know what to include in here cause there is no code it's only a project with a library.
Recently downloaded Powerflash (FDT) to compare with Flash Builder, but it doesn't seem to cleverly colour the MXML code, nor provide me with predictive text. Is that only for action script files?
I have a text input box on a site i'm currently building. Problem is, when testing it, some letters don't register as being pressed (and no, its not my keyboard before you ask hehe).
The letters which don't show up are, "B,C,E,F,G,H,I,J,K,L,M,N,Q,T,U,V,X,Y,Z". In fact, the only letters that are recognized and displayed when I type into it are: "A,D,O,P,R,S,W".
im having a problem with my input text fields on my site. I have a contact form swf loading into my main swf and for some reason when its loaded in the text fields arent selectable. when i test the form swf by itself it works fine.
now how do i make the movie clip to first go from frame 1 to 10( last frame in teh movieclip) with the text time and then when the movie clip starts again it should say place and so on and so forth.. depending on how many textline variables i define in the text file?
I need browser refresh (page reloading), when we click on button in swf file. i dont know flash scripting. i want just html page reload when i click button in swf file. i want code for page refresh.
I have a text file that holds names. I want to import the variables from the text file.I can do that, but I also want to create a loop that will iterate through the text file and create the variables. The number of variables in the text file will vary.I simply don't know what I'm doing and need a hand.Here is an example of my variables in my text file.
Code: name1=Anna&name2=Joe&name3=Carmen&name4=Susie Here is my URLLoader[code].........
I have variables named name1, name2 in my text file and want the same names in my flash file. I know my onDataLoad function is incomplete but I left some fragments so you can see my failed attempts.
I currently have a file set up that imports and external text file and displays the parameters in the text file in separate dynamic text fields. No problem there. the text file reads: param1 = 300śm2 = 450śm3 = 500 However, what I want to be able to do, is set parameters that rather than defining text strings, define numeric values. I want to be able to use those numeric values to set the x position of an instance of an animated MC on the stage (animated with actionscript). I need to be able to pass the values from the text file to the actionscript. I tried using the code below and it doesn't work..,
the variables from the text file are loaded in swf and in dreamweaver the swf throws an error
Error: Error #2101: The String passed to URLVariables.decode() must be a URL-encoded query string containing name/value pairs. at Error$/throwError() at flash.net::URLVariables/decode() at flash.net::URLVariables() at flash.net::URLLoader/onComplete()
I understands this is because of flash player security and need to place crossdomain.xml file. but the my doubt is where to post my crossdomain.xml file in the local machine(to check the swf) and also in my website for the rest.
im trying to use the following code to load variables from a text file (and later a php file). The code is meant to put a movie clip called mcLoading to show that the text is on the way, and then fade the text in and show it on the stage. The whole code block is inside the constructor of a class.
I want to get some leaders name from text file as variables using URLLoader.load() the application is working fine while testing TestMovie from flash but it's not working in html page and throws the following error even i read articles about crossdomain policies.;[code]
I have build a flash form that uses php to save variables to a web folder on my site in a text file. There is a .swf file with dynamic txt fields in the same folder it which pulls the data from the txt file. It doesnt seem to pull it as real time as I would like. sometime just once and not after that.When I update the form the text file saves to the web folder ok, but I have to refresh the link to pull the data in or empty browsing history etc.is there a way around anyone can think of so everytime I update the flash form the data come in straight away or after a few seconds.
How I can save data to a .txt file. This .txt file will be stored on the same server that the flash file is stored on and is executing from. I want to, later, be able to access the data previously stored on the .txt file from my flash movie.
I couldn't find a good, clear question and answer for this in StackExchange, so I'll pose this as clearly as I can and hopefully get a clear, concise answer.Suppose I have a .txt* file with variables for a bunch of objects of one type that I was to load into an ActionScript 3 program. I can use an import statement such as:
[Embed(source="test.txt",mimeType="application/octet-stream")] private var testFile:Class;
for some of the places where I need to do this, but I also need to know how it's different for files chosen by the user from their local hard drive.n code, how can I convert this file, testFile:Class into an array, result:Array, of strings?*: If you have a solution using .xml or another format, please also include a sample of what the file's contents would look like and how you would get them into variables within AS3Edit: Below is a quick example file I threw together, test.txt:
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).
I am scratching my head because there isn't much out there even in the forum on something this simple.[code]...
Here is what I am trying to accomplish I am able to retrieve these variables from the txt file that is stored with the SWF file and display them, I am unable to allow the user to change a line "item" and then have them save it amending the TXT file.
So the goal is to have this list on multiple office computers so that you can go in add an item to the list it then updated the TXT file so the next user can open up the flash file see the list and even add or remove an item.
The TXT file is going to be stored on a private drop box folder that is available on all computers concerned. ( If it's going to be easier than putting it server side )
I need a AS that will load n number of variables from a txt file, which will have string values assign to them, and then in fla, it will fade in - wait - fade out in a dynamic textbox all of them one by one, and at the end it will loop it. I know how to do certain parts of this code, but I am not really good with array's yet.
Reason is the XML file has variables/text that need to be used for other preloaders to work off.If at all possible, it would be great if the similar method I have used to preload my MCs (external images) could be used that would be fantastic! So I could have one bar load to 100% after the other.
I'm trying to make an application, with I could change the value of a variable on a text file. The thing is, at this moment I have to modify the text file variables and then upload this last again and again. The file with variables could be a XML file too. I was thinking make something like a guestbook, the problem is, it would create new variables and I want to modify the existing ones.
Using loadVars and importing variables into Flash through a text file, is there a way to automatically list all of the variables that are in the Text file? For example say my text file had these variables:
&foo=chuck& &mario=luigi& &frodo=hobbit&
If I didn't know the names of the variables foo mario and frodo, could I somehow scan the text file for all variables and simply list:
