How can I import some variables from a txt file and treat them like normal variables in fla file? something like in txt file
Code:

&variable2=8&

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 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:

I want to have a flash document that will import certain variables from an XML file (name, age, and gender) and be able to manipulate them in flash... (i.e, be able to change someone's age or gender or even name in the flash program) But I don't have the first idea where to start. The XML I think I know what to do, but not the flash.Here's a sample of my XML file:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<people>
<person id="John Doe">

Im pretty new with the flash -> php -> mysql thing .. And I have made a script that sends some variables (that a user inserts in some input forms) with some var names, and then php handles it and insert it into my MySQL database its kinda ugly that a page pops up and opens the php page.So I was wonderin' if there is some way to send the variables to the php file and process them inside the flash file. without openin' some fancy browser window ?
View 3 RepliesI have basic knowledge of Flash and AS3.0. Suppose i have a flash swf file(main.swf). In this main.swf file, i loaded another swf file(sub.swf) by writing the following code snippet in main.swf file as shown below:
var textLdr:Loader=new Loader();
var noteUrl:String = "AddNote.swf";
var noteUrlReq:URLRequest=new URLRequest(noteUrl); textLdr.load(noteUrlReq);
addChild(textLdr);
Now, how to acess the data present in main.swf into sub.swf.Note: Here data represents values/data stored in variables/objects of main.swf file.

i have a file uploader in AS3, and can successfully save a file using php. I'd like to also send variables along with the file, have php process the variables, and display them back in Flash.
In a separate project, I was able to get variables from flash-php-flash, but I can't work out how to do this while also uploading a file. I get a null reference error in the completeHandler function when flash tries to display the vars coming back from php.

I have created an external actionscript file, which is called from Flash with the command#include "my_script.as"
The question is: how can I pass variables from Flash to the external actionscript file?
I am currently helping make a project which needs to load variables from a PHP file into Flash. What I want is the flash movie to go to a frame if the PHP variable in the PHP file equals some text, say "hello".For my PHP file I have this:
Code:
<?php
$dataForTxtbox_1 = "hello";
print("&name1=$dataForTxtbox_1");
?>
I have tried several bits of actionscript, but with no luck. Basically, I want the movie to go to a frame if the variable in PHP equals "hello". Which it currently does, I have tried using the if statement in several ways but with no luck.
I am attempting to retrieve data from a PHP file within my Actionscript file.I have a large amount of incoming dynamic variables so it is necessary for me to retrieve them all, however, I don't want to get every variable individually as that would take a very long time to code and does not work well. Is there any way to get all variables at once?[code]...
View 3 RepliesGot a movie that loads some variables from an XML file. The content of each XML.node fills the corresponding dynamic (on the fly) recipients (mcs).
I know how to do this once, not using a for (loop) basic parser, so, I got stuck with this simple code while I was trying to "make it" with a "loop" parser.[code]The idea is to have 2 buttons that change the number of the array sothat I can access the next XML.node without having to write all the code again, neither the dynamic recipients -movie clips- nor the parser. Can't I make a function from all of these sothat I can call it later?
You know how & is used to separate variables in a .txt file if your loading variables, like &height=22&width=3353&....well what if you want to pass a string into flash like "We all went & drunk lots of beer"?

Basically I have a SWF file, there is a movieclip in this SWF file with instance name "stage" and I can alter the parameters of "_level0.stage" from within this SWF file to change the way it acts. But now, I am making a second SWF file, which loads the first SWF file, and from this new SWF file I want to interact with the same "_level0.stage" variable from the first SWF, does that make sense? This is the AS3 code for the second SWF, I have a movie clip with instance name "LoadSWF" in this SWF.
Code:
var movieLoader:Loader = new Loader();
var movieRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("load.swf");
movieLoader.load(movieRequest);
LoadSWF.addChild(movieLoader);
load.swf is the file which contains movie clip "_level0.stage"
I've tried referencing this movie clip from this code using
"_level0.LoadSWF.stage"
but it doesn't find it?
