ActionScript 2.0 :: Use Data From External Text File For JavaScript Alert Message In Flash?
Sep 14, 2010
Can I Use data from external Text file for JavaScript alert message in flash? I wanted to change the alert message dynamically using the external text file.
1. I created the text file with data as: &Enter=Please Enter
2. And the flash action script i used is as below..
var message1;
message1 = trace(Enter);
loadVariables("temp.txt", "");
getURL("javascript:alert('"+message1+"')");
But this is not working properly. It showing me the alert window but the message it showing as 'undefined'
I have a colleague who will be using Adobe Flex and adobe flash builder to design the application. The final application will be in that software. I am creating the database features and testing them using online browsers.What I want to know is that some alerts I am getting a 'prevent this message from multiple dialogues' message on the alert but this is because of the browsers. But if the application is on flex and flash builder (I don't know which one is where the app is stored coz I have never used it) then will that message appear on some alerts in that software or is it only on browsers?[code]
Is there any way to debug the external AS file as i dont want to use "trace".I have an idea to use the input text field the check the variable/function is working right but this is not enough so is there any process in AS2 or AS3.
I will be creating a program to use for data entry. I'll be studying zebras in kenya and I won't have the internet there as I'm recording the data. I'd like to be able to send the data I generate in flash to an external text file. I understand I need some sort of script to do that, but is this something I can run just on my machine? (I'll probably make the data into xml format).
I am trying to load an external text file but keep receiving the following error message:
Code: Select allTypeError: Error #2007: Parameter url must be non-null. at flash.net::URLStream/load() at flash.net::URLLoader/load() at lee.dataload::TextLoader()
this is the code i'm using, i'm very new to actionscript so it's probably loaded with errors:
We have a client who wants to share with us flash widgets whose contents can be updated using an external file. Our question is: Is it better to use a .txt file (such as notepad) or a .xml file to input data into Flash?
I am trying to style the Alert window on an external file but I get the following warning and the style won't be applied, keep in mind that the Alert is being called from an external AS file as well so the code is not embedded in the MXML.
The CSS type selector 'Alert' was not processed, because the Alert was not used in the application.Type alert in CSS selector 'Alert' must be qualified with a namespace.
Alert{ color : #124332; background-color: #ffffff; header-colors : #243322, #243322;
How can I save data to a text file and also append a record to data in an existing text file? I've used Authowrware previously and it was quite easy to create a large string of data (a comma separated list) and export that to a text file (and create the text file if it didn't already exist). I could then easily append additional rows of data (records) to the text file. We want to build a questionnaire that will store the data locally on the computer in a text file. Each record may have a few hundred data points in a comma separated list.
I'm working on a project for a User Interface Design class, so the emphasis is on the UI being as nice to use and non-annoying as possible. I would like to display a message to the user after they've clicked save, for example, without requiring them to click an OK button. I'm thinking of the kind of thing you see in gmail if you send a message or do some other actions, where a message appears on the screen, but the message disappears after you do something else.
I'm sure there's a way to do this in Flex (I'm using 4.6), but I just don't know what it is. I'm pretty new to Flex and I'm having trouble finding anything via Google, because the results keep showing confirmations messages in Alerts; I don't know the search terms to get the results I'm looking for.
I have an AS2 Flash SWF that is calling another AS2 Flash File using loadMovieNum("flash.swf",2) and a JavaScript file that calls a function on page using a timer. This is what I get in Firefox with Flash 10 (IE8 gives no error message):
uncaught exception: Error calling method on NPObject! [plugin exception:
Error in Actionscript. Use a try/catch block to find error.].
What is going wrong? I can't see a problem. It is suppose to clear the contents of the embedded swf and use a Flash alert dialog to confirm Yes or No.
i have a login system done in flex.once the user logs in and if he refreshes the page it will take you back to the login page.how can i make the logged in user stay in the same page using flex and java only?and also if once user is logged in and another loggs in with the same user name and passwrod how can i handle dat using flex and java?
I have 12 display monitors installed in different floors in a building. These monitors display announcements that will be update once in a day. I'm retrieving these announcements from db and storing in an array and displaying it all day long. In addition to this, I have a requirement to display emergency alert messages on the monitors. My Server is a windows 2000 server. I'm using asp for creating the JSON object.
For the emergency alert I am thinking of doing this: Create a page in asp that lets user to enter emergency msg and save to db. Create a page in asp that will check if there an emergency msg in db and show it in a asp page in json. Create a timer that pings this json page every 1 second. If it's available then show it. Is there any other sophisticated method available to poll the server or to send messages from server to client?
I have a flex app and I am adding a callback method like this:
private function init():void { ExternalInterface.addCallback( "playVideo", playVideo ); }
[code].....
However if I uncomment and run the alert first. I get no error and it works perfectly.My first thought was that the alert was buying time until the script could execute, so i tried to run the script inside a setTimeout() but did not work.
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):
ActionScript Code: var liens = new LoadVars(); liens.load(_global.url+"bddtxt.txt");
1. How could I make it where some images/text in a flash file is taken from another outside file. For example lets say I have a image and text that would need to change constantly. The image could probably be done by using a url and changing the image set to that url, but I would rather have it search for a images file name on my computer. For the text is there a way I could use a text document, and have it set up to take the text in that document and display it.
2. How can I make it so when I click a link to an outside url it doesn't confirm that I want to visit it.
I trying to load indivual strings of text from an external file. example: I have a movie that navigates from frame to frame. on each frame I'd like a line of text to load into the movie. When the user navigates to the next frame the text loaded vanishes and is replaced by another line of text. This can be done with separate txt files, right but I was wondering if and how it could be done using one external text file.
I have combed the Web and I can't seem to find the answer. All I want to do is display some html-formatted text, located within an external XML file, in a dynamic text field in Flash CS3.
I don't have any code to supply because at this point the only thing I'm trying to display in the text field is "<b>This</b> is a <a href="http://www.google.com">test</a>." For this hypothetical example, I could call the text field myTextField. I just need to know how to format the AS3 code to get the XML to display inside myTextField.
I'm loading a external text file to flash and according to the number present in the text file i'm trying to do a IF - ELSE command. It's not working coz the value I load from the external file is string. How can i get this as intiger.
In our application we have an embedded Flash control (in a HTML file in our Browser control) that shows some games. I looking for some way to call / notify this Flash control from C++ or JavaScript when some events are happening outside of it in order to display something / set it's internal values.
how (if possible) this could be acheived? I think there is an option to call JavaScript from C++ and then JavaScript call Flash, but that's looks a bit tricky to me. is there is a way to "call" the Flash control "directly" or send a message to it.
I have an html form within a flash site. The form is php processed. fix the php file so that after processing the form, the php returns the user to the flash page and reloads the html form. I tried a window.location in the php to send to the page but that did not work. It results in a white rectangle within the html code area (maybe frame but I'm not sure). How can I get just that html form reloaded? I do not want to load the entire page using a URL because that is too slow and I cannot replicate the flash state. BTW, below is a stripped down version of the code to simplify.
Is there any way to embed Flash completely in HTML, without reference to an external SWF file? I ask because I would like to send an HTML file as an email attachment that the recipient will open in a browser and fill out as a form. The last step is that they will copy the result to their clipboard, paste it into a new message, and email it back. I cannot reliably copy to the clipboard with JavaScript because of the security issues, but there are simple Flash apps to add that capability.
I know I could just display the response text (which will be Base64 encoded) to the recipient and have them copy/paste, but it would be nice to provide this small convenience to them. Also, so you are aware, the text is often too large to include in an email using mailto. Yes. This needs to be done via email. The users have slow, occasional satellite email access and no other data connection to the interwebs. To make things worse, I cannot make them install anything. It is a difficult situation.
Everytime I try to do even an ExternalInterface.call('alert','abc'); (Which will work on every browser) I get an object doesn't support this property or method After the alert appears. It even happens in the HTML generated by flash without me touching it...
We can easily alert anything in java script. Is it possible to get this or similar alert in ActionScript? I have below test Class in Action Script. Trace does same as console.log() in java script. Is it possible to display messages in action script ?
[Code]...
Above code alerts the "test" similar to javascript. This is a Flash Window that shows the message. But How to integrate similar code in my Class. i.e. How to do repalce trace ("something") with this Flash Alert window ?
Is it possible to use Javascript in flash. For example, as a simple test I am trying to use Javascript's alert method when a button is clicked. I am using AS3. Is it possible?
