View 4 RepliesI AM USING AIR FOR ANDROID. I want to get all the jpg's (or Mp3's) in a folder of an external folder ... that will be stored on the users PHONE with included in the APP.
How can I do that from FLASH using Action-script 3?[code]...
I wanted to load image from a folder. I wanted to load the last 30 images to the stage. How can I do it?
ActionScript Code:
var l:Loader;
var r:URLRequest;
var loc:String = 'cards/card%.png';
function loadCardNum(n:int):void {
l = new Loader();
r = new URLRequest(loc.replace('%',n));
trace("Will load card from: "+loc.replace('%',n));
Currently the code I'm using can only load picture with the file name starting from 0. And it will stop loading the image if there is any image missing between the 30 images. How can I make it load from the last 30 images uploaded and enable to continue load in the images if there is any image missing in between? I have the limit of 30 set on somewhere else. Where it will stop loading after it reached 30.
i'm making an application in flash and my client simply wont agree to anything but this. the application should be able to load fonts dynamically from a folder. it could be on the server. i'm prepared to use php if its necessary.
the tool is supposed to give the end user a wide range of choices for fonts for the text he enters.
I'm trying to create a slideshow which loads images dynamically from a folder on my server. The number of images in the folder will change on a daily basis, so I'm guessing that this needs some kind of array to predetermine the contents of the folder. The files will not have a regimented naming structure.
Basically, I need to display all of the images in the folder one by one and then loop back to the start.
Has anyone managed to do this before?
I need to create a tool which allows the users to apply a wide range of fonts to their text. The fonts may or may not be present on the user's system. I know how to embed fonts, but the problem is that I will have to import every font to my library and set their linkage properties. that will get very cumbersome. Instead, is there any way to dynamically load fonts from a folder on the server into the flash file? Or is there a better way to achieve what i need?

Is there a mechanism in AS3 that enables me to read directly the content of images folder directly without using XML or should I use php to do that?
My teacher gave me the task of making an interactive touch screen flash for an open day at my school, i can easily do most of the things to make this work but two things evade me.
He wants the writing in a word document linked so he can easily change what the document says without re exporting the flash.
He also wants me to be able to make the pictures from a document appear in a slideshow without adding each individual picture in a random order as a screen saver effect.
i have been juggling with this issue for some time now, and i haven't quite been able to coming up with something to solve this problem.this is an xml related matter.i have my xml file like this:
<files>

<file name="2" path="2.swf" />

I'm trying to load the content of a .txt file dynamically... If I leave the .txt file in the same root with the .swf it works perfectly, but I tried moving the .txt files into another folder and it stopped working...

my_lv.onLoad = function(success) {

"info" is the name of the folder the .txt file is in... I even tried upload it to my server and giving the absolute address like [URL] but nothing...
I want to create a folder structure through Flex or AIR... is it possible? I mean the Flex or AIR will receive the inputs on what the folders and file names will be and when i press create, it should create a directory structure...

View 2 RepliesI'm working on an image gallery in Flash that plays a slideshow of different images I have on my hard drive. I've got the basics of it working, but I'm still stuck on something. If my images are in the same folder as the Flash project file or a sub-folder of it, then it works fine. However, I can't figure out how to load images from some other folder. In my case, the Flash project is located at "~/Programming/Flash/Projects/slideshow/" and the images I want to load are at "~/Pictures/Gallery/". Using a normal path didn't work so I figured I could access them with a file:// path, but that doesn't work either gives me "Error #2035: URL Not Found"). Is there a specific way you have to format the file path in Flash, or is it just not possible?

View 2 RepliesI have a flash file in folder "/" which loads another flash file in folder "/xyz/". The second flash file will load several resource files on its own. Now flash is looking for the resource files at the base folder "/" and instead of the other loaded flash's folder "/xyz/". The second loaded flash file is provided by a third party and can't be modified. Is there any way to dynamically change the base folder of the "application" at run-time? I've heard about the html swf tag "BASE" so I've tried loading the second flash file with a ".....?BASE=/xyz/" but it doesn't work.

var clips:Array = ["clips/clip0.swf", "clips/clip1.swf", "clips/clip2.swf", "clips/clip3.swf"];

I am hoping to modify it so I don't have to "hard-code" the "folder/filename.swf" into the var clips:Array line...that way anyone can upload swfs into the "clips" folder and thisLoader will take care of the rest...
I have a flash .swf file that is intended to load .flv video files into them at the local root level. I have been able to do this on my own server, but the .swf and the .flv videos are now located on the media streaming server, and the .swf is able to show up on it's own when embedded onto my page (on MY server), but it's not being able to load the video files. I am perplexed because the videos are structured in the same EXACT way that it was being done on my server, but they will not load onto my .swf as they were doing when they were on my server. For example, one of the videos is loaded by using this convention in my actionscript: var file = "videos/Bob_Peebler.flv"; So, on my media hosting service, I've loaded the .swf file on the local root, and the videos are placed in the same exact directory structure as they were done on my server. In the example above, the "bob_peebler.flv" is located inside the videos folder, and the videos folder is on the same level as the .swf In my flash file, I've thought that the var needs to point to the actual URL of the flash file, so I've then typed out the URL of the flash video, but I still can't seem to get it to work.

View 1 RepliesI have been designing Flash Websites for years. And in the last 3 months almost all my flash websites are having the same problem, sometime it happens and sometime it doesn't. Heres what happens: When you go to the site not all the buttons and or movies load, or when you click on a button the first time it takes you to another page on the website, but if you click that same button again it goes to the correct page. Its very fickle.
I know in my actual FLA. file everything is correct, where the button goes to etc. I have to load the sites a couple times in order for all the content on the website to show up. does anyone know why this is happening? and if so how to fix it? here are some of the websites it happens on. It may have the problem for you it may not.
