I am using this code, to get data from a PHP file:
Code:
var result_lv:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
result_lv.onLoad = function(success:Boolean) {
if (success) {
[Code].....
This works fine the first time i publish it, but the next, it fails.
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.
View 8 RepliesI am the fan of kirupa but this is my first thread in forum. I have some problem with sendAndLoad method with actionscript 2.0. I am developing a online game with flash mx , MS SQL 2000 and asp. The problem is I send the data using sendAndLoad method to asp file and get data back from asp file. But when the internet connection is not good there is a problem like jam or lost packets. How can I prevent the lost of packets. Some of the data are important. Is there any way to solve this?
View 1 RepliesI 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).
View 1 RepliesI have an xml file (externally saved) that is similar to the following:
[root]
[main]
[title]...[/title]
[Code]....
What I like to do is to get what's in [title] tag using HTTPservice, import it into Flex, and save it as array objects, and do the same thing for [content]. This way I can later refer the array object saying title[0] or content[2].
this is my current cv, painstakenly written in flash: [URL] I was told that I can use an external data file and load this into a flash file with xml, i am trying to make an xml file that will do what you see here above. But i cannot get the information to load properly where each title is separate (bold) and the description underneath it (plain text). i cannot get my cv to show up in a linear format as it only shows the
first entry and then stops.

Is it possible to pull questions from a data file into flash without having to create new frames for every question. This would be a multiple choice test. We currently hand type the questions into multiple frames and grade at the end.

I am seeing repeated comments on this discussion forum that it's not possible to save data from Flash into a locally stored XML file . . . but there must be a way to do this. Why is you can read data from a locally stored XML file but not update or add data to it. how absurd a design would that be, it simply wouldn't be logical!

View 4 RepliesI have written a ac3 script to upload files to remote servers and it is working as expected with all the events.
From the server side script i am echoing some text according to the upload status and i want that status to be received in flash like response text in ajax.
Is it possible to receive response text from a server script after uploading a file.
Or it doesn't have to be a file upload yet i wanted to have the string echoed in the server side script as response text in flash.
If that is not possible like ajax or normal request and response then is there another ways of achieving that?
Here is the code which gets executed when upload is complete.
fr.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, function(e:Event): void
{
lblPer.text = 'Completed';

I have a main swf file and config.xml located in the same directory. My .swf file uses config.xml to fetch config variable which it does with success.The problem appears when I put those files into Flex directory. I embed .swf file like this.
<mx:Image id="loading" source="@Embed('/blobs/visualLogo/mySwfFile.swf')"
visible="true" horizontalCenter="0"/>
I also place config.xml into /blobs/visualLogo/

TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.

I want to retrieve data from a Database and display inside a datagrid in a Flex web application. The way I'm thinking of doing it is :
Send the Query data from .mxml file to the .jsp page using HTTPService. In the .jsp, connect to the database and retrieve the data using select statements. send the results back to the .mxml using HTTPService.
I know what to use but I have an ambiguity. In the (.mxml) I use xxx.send() to send the data. What do I use in the (.jsp) to send it back ? I know that I should store the results in an XML in the .jsp file, but how to do that ?

I have a website on wich you should hear 10 different songs. Everey Song has a Flash Start and Stop Buttton.
Flash generates HTML-Code like this:
AC_FL_RunContent( 'codebase', '
http://download....../flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,0,0',
'width', '100',
[Code]....
In former times you could add the file behind the swf-file : xxx.swf?file="newSong.mp3"
But now I have problems to transmit the name of the sound-file:
Is it 'URL', 'mySong.mp3',
Is it 'File', 'mySong.mp3',
I have a flash file (SWF) I downloaded from a website. It's a card game.
Let me say up front I don't intend to steal their graphics or anything like that.
I'm wondering if there's some way to examine the file.. I want to be able to see if it has any thing in there to define how many of each card makes up a deck or if it's just random.
I'm want to make this game as an actual card game, but with a different theme. The Flash game is single player, but the card game I make I want to make it so you can play single player or with up to 4 people.
My current query is how to get data into a flash file. I inherited a .swf file and I am in the process of incorporating it into my java web application. It currently reads in an xml file that sits in the same directory as the .swf file. The previous programmer saved the xml file after a database query to fill it, and has the same file name each time. I'm thinking that this isn't very scaleable, if more than one person wants to use the application at the same time. If I was going to add a session id to distunguish files, I'm not sure how I would do it as the Flash file has a hardwired string in it.
var strXML:String = "seq_list.xml";
I considered using FlashVars to load in the xml file but its going to be consistantly over the 64k limit so I'm guessing thats not going to work.
My supervisor is interested in showing certain data within a dynamic map and this data must be fed from an Excel file. I was thinking I may have to use some service to convert the XLS to a CSV file, but if there's a direct way to do it with AS3 I can skip that step. The Excel file will be updated regularly. Eventually, she wants this movie to allow her to modify the Excel file as well.

Ultimately the XML file will sit on a server and will be updated separately from the flash file.
