I'm working with a Flash gallery that loads picture description from the actionscript that looks like this:
import mx.controls.CheckBox;
function title_name() {
bigname_arr = new Array();
[code]....
I have text file containing list of words.
//sample textfile
textfile.txt
apple
orange
banana
How can I load it in my flash and put it on array. what I saw in my research about this, I gonna use split("/n") //is this right?, /n is for next line?
I would like to load the content of a texte file (i.e : value.txt)
in a Array.
I use :
onClipEvent (load) {
_global.testLoad = new Array()
gStartFrame = _root._currentFrame;
[Code].....
there is a another code below this one , where i want to get the value of testLoad to use it.
but I can't get the value in the second trace !! i known that the variable is declare in function (so as, local) but i can find how to get the content of testLoad in the second trace, to use it later on in script.
there is a 10 arrays in my root and everyone contains 2 inputs: new arrays = myresult1["1","2"]like this one, when i got a new result i change it in all arrays in the fla file and play it to get the swf which i'll use it in my screen.is there any way to make it load from txt file i'll put in it the final result and if i do this will it load the final one or i've to add refersh method in the swf file.
View 3 RepliesI am trying to load a couple of .jpg files by getting array data from .txt file. I searched this forum and found some code bits I could use. When I tested the file, getting array part seems to work fine (I get output for tracing), but nothing loads onto movie clips.
Here is the code:
var dataArray:Array
var dataLVs = new LoadVars();
dataLVs.load("vars/imgName.txt");
dataLVs.onLoad = function(success){
if (success){

I have an array collection of strings and integers (which I have displayed in a data grid) and I am wondering if it is possible to export the array collection into an html table? or even a text file for the user to download
I found some pages that had an export to .xls files but I want to stray away from that for now.
I have a rotaing menu that loads in images from an xml file, I would also like it to load in text info from the same xml file to the left side of the images that load in. In my main .fla have created a movieclip and called it 'textInfo' and inside that I have two dynamic text fields called 'headerText' and 'bodyText' where I want to load the text in. this is what I am using to loading in the text in my actionscript, is this correct?

View 8 RepliesI'm using Flash 8 and I'm trying to load new text into a dynamic text box already populated by a xml file.
I have a home page with 5 different buttons on the top menu.
1. Home
2. News
3. Tips
and a few more.
Upon my home page loading, I have a dynamic text box with the welcome text which is populated by my xml file, here is my code for AS2:
function loadXML(loaded) {
if (loaded) {
_root.home = this.firstChild.childNodes[0].childNodes[0];
_root.tips = this.firstChild.childNodes[1].childNodes[0];
[Code].....
What I want to do is load the news and tips text into the same dynamic text box on the home page when the news or tips button is clicked, so I don't have to load a whole new swf for each category thus making the site faster.
What code would I have to use to clear the text from the xml file and how would I load my new text upon clicking the button?
I cant load and external text file into my dynamic text box...when i trace the loaded var it can be found, but when it's loaded inside the text box, the value that appears is really strange.i tried to load the vars into the MC and on a level, the result is the same, it can be traced but does not appear correctly on the textbox..the code i used is here..i made a text box with about_us instance name, loaded the variables and tried to load my text inside it by setting the text property of the textbox but as u will see...
loadVariables("about.txt", "this");
about_us.text = about;

am setting up a webpage with Flash MX. On the homepage I have a dynamic text box with links to the left (currently the links are just typed words). We want it to setup so that when a user clicks a link (such as "HOME") it will access text from a .txt file and load it into the dynamic text box. We want all of the links ("HOME", "PERSONNEL", "RECRUITS", "CONTACT US") to load their text from a seperate .txt file into that same dynamic text box.

I have my main stage, and into this main stage I am embedding another .swf file (multiple instances on a map). I would like to be able to load dynamic text from an array (addressA) on the main stage into the embedded .swf - can this be done?
Here is what I have tried, and failed with:
1) Creating a dynamic text box on the embedded .swf, giving it an instance name of markeraddy_txt, and writing AS in that .swf for markeraddy_txt.text = addressA;
2) Creating a dynamic text box on the embedded .swf, giving it an instance name of markeraddy_txt, creating a variable on the main stage of var embed = {url:'embed.swf'};, and writing AS in the main stage for embed.markeraddy_txt.text = addressA.
3) Creating a dynamic text box on the embedded .swf, giving it an instance name of markeraddy_txt, and writing AS in that .swf for markeraddy_txt.text = addressA[i];
Code:
addressA = [];
function parseXML(){ addressA.push(this.firstChild.childNodes[0].childNodes[0].firstChild.nodeValue);

I wrote this script a while ago and it's worked extremely well for me ever since. I use it in nearly every project I do. But the other day I was asked to do a project where I could only use Flash 7.
This is a class I made to easily handle multiple file preloading by passing it an array of files to load. It only has two useful methods. One gets you the current total progress (total of all the files 0-100%) and an onLoadComplete. The actual usage is in the top of the file. It works great under Flash 8, so go ahead and use it.
I just want to load a .swf file withing my current .swf file as per the value the external text file.
I have done few experiments too.
1) I have writter below code on the first frame of my movie. here "myMC" is my target movie clip inside which i want to load another swf file.
loadVariables("myData.txt", "_root.myMC");
2) the code of my external text file is as below sm=one.swf;
Now my doubt is where and how i should write the loadmovie command to load my swf file.

I have an ASP.Net handler which returns to me all the file name of the images present in a folder in the server. Note that I'm an ASP programmer, not a Flash developper. It'll return something like that:
1.jpg|2.jpg|3.jpg|4.jpg
It's the same as if it was written in a .txt file, there's only text in the "webpage" source. The | is the separator in which I'll use a method to return a [] of string. However, the problem is how do I access it.
i followed the tutorial and got some other advice.

how to create a image gallery that uses arrays from a text file rather than xml (this is because the project I have now generates alot of html coding and stores it within a DB, it doesn't have any set html pages so using flash and xml is out of the question as it needs to be relative to the html page).
I have got as far as including my own way to get captions to be displayed as well....but here comes the problem, no matter what loop i have tried the captions seem to stay on the 1st caption and not change as the different thumbnails are clicked..
here is my code
Code:
var locVar = new Array();
locVar = imgLoc.split(",");
var tmbVar = new Array();
[Code].....
i have this code below that i made using a tutorial....it loads vars from txt file splits it then puts it into an array....once in an array it the brings the pics in from the array to create thumbnails and a larger image. my problem is i have captions to go with it and when i try to load the captions nothing happens or can be seen to be happening. i dont know where i am going wrong as i have no output or compiled errors
