ActionScript 2.0 :: Automatically List All Of The Variables That Are In The Text File?
Feb 23, 2004
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:
chuck, luigi and hobbit?

I have a TextArea and a DataGrid. I've populated the DataGrid with a list of text files in a directory. Now I'm trying to load the selected file into the TextArea. I'm getting a null pointer exception when selecting a file from the list, which tells me I'm not accessing it right...I think.
<s:TextArea id="mainTextField" x="0" y="0" width="730" height="523"
editable="true" enabled="true"/>
<s:DataGrid id="list" x="730" y="0" width="294" height="523" dataProvider="{files}" gridClick="listHandler(event)">

Code:
quotes = [Fish are the last to recognize water.","I am my brains publisher.", "Every tool carries with it the spirit by which it has been created.","Curiosity is the mother of intelligence.","Thinking is drawing in your head.","A person without imagination is like a teabag without water.","Realism is a corruption of reality.","Its always better to be looked over than to be overlooked.","The hardest thing to see is what is in front of your eyes.","The soul has no secrets that conduct does not reveal.","Creativity is the defeat of habit by originality.","Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.","If you want to get lucky... it pays to get ready" ,"Realism is the corruption of reality","I'd give my right arm to be ambidextrous.","Music is noise submitted to order by wisdom.","God...invented the giraffe,the elephant,the cat.He has no real style.He just goes on inventing things.","The person you love is 72.8% water."]
qNum = Math.floor(riddles.length*Math.random());
partThree = quotes[qNum];
mainTxt = """+partThree+""";

I'm using the following mxml code for displaying a list of some data. I built a custom renderer which can have variable height. Each time a new data arrives, the scroller should go to the end of the list. I registered to the events which triggers an array change.
It's working fine if the height of items is the same. But if this is not happening, the scroller is going a little bit above the end.
If the height of an item from the middle of the list is bigger, then the last items are not visible.
<s:Scroller width="100%" height="100%" id="scroller" horizontalScrollPolicy="off">
<s:DataGroup
id = "lstComments"

I want to create a simple high score list of 10 high scores of a game. From reading the forums I seem to get the idea that flash cannot create a simple text file. I don't have php or asp but do have cgi capability. Does anyone know where I can find a simple cgi-script that will allow me to write the text the cgi receives to a simple text file: game.sco I want to be able to write a single long string to it so that I create a string of values and can load it back in using flash loadvariables. I can create the string in flash... but how do I write it to a text file using a cgi script? the text file would include this string...I already know how to read it and split it to parse it into arrays:

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..,

I am using Flash CS4 with AS3, I'm building a form with 3 fields for users to input into:
-name
-email
-comments
Each of these input text fields have their variable boxes labeled respectfully:
-name field = name
-email field = email
-comments field = comments
For the submit button just below the bottom of the comments input block I have inserted this AS3 code:
on (press) { getURL("send_comment.php", "send", "POST");}
For the separate php file named "send_comment.php" I have this block of code:
<?php
$name = $HTTP_GET_VARS["name"];$email = $HTTP_GET_VARS["email"];$comments = $HTTP_GET_VARS["comments"];
$to = "soundgeek2496@yahoo.com";

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.

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.

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:

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 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.

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.
