ActionScript 2.0 :: Load A Variable From A Txt File?
May 17, 2002
I load a variable from a txt file.The dynamic text box has html turned ON.All characters are embeded.Here's the problem:In the txt file I have a text that contains an html link:
myVariable=Hello! This is my text! Click <a href=http://www.uachq.cjb.net>here</a> to visit my site!
However the swf displays everything up to "Click" ie before the link:
Hello! This is my text! Click
And that's it. I heard that Flash can recognize a simple html command like <a href> but this seems odd to me... Why isn't this working?

I have an external SWF file that is a dynamic chart. It normally requires (in the object and embed tags on the HTML page) a variable passed to it that points to an XML file.
What I want to do, is create a "container" program that simply has a few buttons, that when clicked load up that same chart.swf and point it to a different XML file.
What I can't figure out is how to get that external file to recognize it's dataURL parameter that it normally receives off the html tags. (BTW, I can't edit that chart.swf, it's a purchased product.) I tried setting a root variable of the same name in my container to point to a new XML file, but that doesn't work. I tried setting that variable, and using loadMovie with a GET to pass it the name, but that just looks for a string that flash seems to be interpreting literally, so it can't locate the file at all (I.e. it's looking for the literal name "chart.swf?dataURL=datafile.xml")

What I want to do is load the contents of a file and sent it to an mxmlc compiler as an argument parameter. I can load and read the contents of a file using loadfile and setting a property value say propery="filecontent". But the problem is I can pass it into the mxmlc (flex) compiler. I'm not able to pass it (tried with ${filecontent}) to the arg line. Its gives an error: "value contains unknown token 'filecontent'" How will I pass the contents of the file as a argument value to a compiler argument? Edit: The problem is with the include-resource-bundles arguments. When using command line it works. But using ant build doesn't. Do we need to manually provide the name of resource bundles by generating the resource file?
<exec executable="${MXMLC}" dir="${APP_ROOT}/src" >
<arg line="-locale 'en_US'"/>
.. .. ..
<arg line="-include-resource-bundles
[Code]....
which doesn't work and gives and error -> command line: Error: configuration variable 'include-resource-bundles' value contains unknown token 'resources'

I'm trying to modify an XML jukebox by adding an artwork functionality to it. The problem is that the jukebox is a component so I'm not able to pull it to pieces.

I want to pass a string variable to a SWF so that I can specify a XML file to load without republishing the SWF. When I assign the string variable to a textfield it is correct.But when I use that variable in the loader it does not display the XML from that file.You can see below that I commented out the string "lesson_11/images/0301_objectives.xml".If I put this string in the loader it works, if I use the string variable in its place it does not work.
Code:
var xmlFileToLoad:String;
var myQueryString:Object;

I have a block of html text which is displayed to the user in a TextArea. Currently, the I have embedded the HTML as an XML object within one of my classes, but this seems like a terrible design. I would like to put the HTML in an embedded file and load it into an XML or String object.
I've tried to search for how to do this, but my searches return information on embedding images and fonts, not text which can be loaded into Strings.
Is it possible to embedded text or xml files and load them into variables in Flex?

I have been working on a Flash movie that loads variable data from an external XML file and dynamically displays the item names in a menu which may then be clicked to display other dynamically-loaded content that corresponds to the menu item that was clicked. I have now come to a standstill in the project as there is something I'd like to achieve but simply cannot work out how. This is my first attempt at working with XML in Flash and one of my early attempts at using variables. What I'm trying to achieve is; once the user has viewed the item's content, they can simply click "next" and "previous" buttons to display all of the content for the next or previous items in the XML document.
I know it probably sounds simple and I'm sure some of you could achieve this in 5 minutes (!) but I can't get my head around some of the coding. I assume previousSibling and nextSibling would come into play here as well as some sort of functions which access arrays of data for the previous and next items, but I'm just not sure how to correctly put these things to use. Rather than post my code and example images of the stage up here on the forums, I've created an html page here: [URL]

loadurl = "test_onload_3.cfm?propertyID="+MY_VARIABLE_GOES_HERE;
reciever.load(loadurl);
so that I can set my variable and then load the variables with the propertyID that I choose in the swf??

I have a task to upgrade a web site. I have a map of ND with some cities on it. I needed to add a new city to the SWF which did not seem to be hard (asuming I did it correct). The action on all the buttons for each city look like this except the name after the # is the city selected.
on (release){ getURL("locations_info.html#minot", "location_content");}
In HTML code snip that controls this looked like this :
<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"

I'm currently working on a project that contains a lot of data, about 14.000 records. This means an xml file of about 3mb. Now my question is: Should I use the xml file to load all the data at once, or should I use a webservice, that provides the data when I need it? Keep in mind that I'm new to webservices. And if I'm going to use a webservice: How do I store the data, in a mySQL database?How fast is a webservice?

I have a little app that can read and write content that is stored in XML files. As those files get updated and re-loaded quite often I have made the experience that the browser tends to use the old/cached XML-data. Can I somehow flag the URLLoader that I use to load the XML to always load the actual file instead of looking for cached versions?
