I have found out that one can use an extra parameter in the embedding in order to load another xml other than the default xml file:<embed src="veppa_photo_album2.swf?xml=path/to/custom.xml" ....</embed>I was wondering how i can read this xml file in flash.
View 2 RepliesI am running flex with BlazeDS. My backend is in Java.
I have the following function in actionscript:
override public function execute():void
{
super.execute();
var responder:CallResponder = new CallResponder();
[Code].....
For example:
for(var i:int=0; i<someArray.length; i++)
{
var loader:Loader=new Loader();
loader.load(new URLRequest("http://testurl.com/test.jpg"));
[Code]....
The second paramter (i) for imageLoaded is always 1, I guess because i no longer exists and is defaulting to 1. Is it possible to get that second paramter to be evaluated when the load is started rather than on complete?
I'm loading a Flex 4.5 module (it's a SWF file) using a PHP code like this:
$module = 'modules/'.$_GET['module'].'.swf';
if(!file_exists($module)) {
$module = 'error.swf';
} $size = filesize($module);
$contents = file_get_contents($module);
header('Content-Type: application/x-shockwave-flash');
header('Accept-Ranges: bytes');
header('Content-Length: '.$size);
echo $contents;
And it works very well.
Now I want to get some extra data to load and populate the module with that data in just one request handler, something like:
private function requestHandler(response:???):void {
var data:Array = response as Array;
mySparkModuleLoader.load("", data[0] as ByteArray);
myController.load(data[1]);
}
I was trying to do it with AMFPHP but the ByteArray seems to be broken or something because it doesn't show up, but the rest of the data is fine:
return array(
'hello world!',
new Amfphp_Core_Amf_Types_ByteArray(file_get_contents($module))
);
Maybe creating a multipart response like [URL] and handling it?
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 would like to use the same XML file though to add an extra variable (is that the right term?) called artwork. Here is the modified XML:

I have tried this tutorial at: [URL]. I'm using Flash CS4 on the MAC. But when I run it, nothing happens, When I run the test movie I get an error: 1087: Syntax error: extra characters found after end of program. OnClipEvent (load) {
Also, it doesn't say in the tutorial, so I created a new layer first and then dragged the snowflake symbol onto the stage and then added the script to it. (now there are 2 layers on my timeline). Although it doesn't say to make a new (2nd) layer. Surely you can't do everything on the same layer, because you need to add 2 different scripts which you can't do to one layer.
It's a way to load external swf's with a parameter, like loading them from HTML in form: mymovie.swf?settingsfile=mysettings.xml? Loaded without parameters it works fine, but i tried to load them via URLRequest("mymovie.swf?settingsfile=mysettings.xm l") and i get an error: Error #2044: Unhandled IOErrorEvent:. text=Error #2035: URL Not Found.

So I downloaded this as3flvplayer script, but it hasn't been updated in over a year and has no documentation. It is based off loading the video from XML, but I would like to change it to where I can specify a URL parameter instead.

However, the client also wants to be able to use custom fonts that they would find and download themselves, and then place the custom fonts TTF file in the folder that I will specify for custom fontsIn the xml, there will be a tag for the font to use in the specific section.Question:Is there a way in action script 3 that I can load the custom font from the TTF or other related font file and then set a text field on screen to then use the custom font, even if the font is not installed on my computer at development time1. read xml2. read text content3. Set textfield.text = text content from xml4. Read colors from xml5. Set text field colors.6. Read font to use from xml7. load font from ttf file if not installed on user system.

If I hard code the php file with the values listed above, everything works perfectly. But I'm using a php script that checks the directory for images, then provides that output.
Can we skip an optional parameter and assign value to the parameter after the skipped one?
For example I have a function:
public function Dialog(message:String,title:String="Note",dialogsize:int=99):void
{
}
I can easily call the function with a message and a title:
Dialog("HELLO","Intro");
Is there a way to skip the title and just pass in the dialogsize? I've tried it but can't make it work:
Dialog("HELLO",,dialogsize);
Is it possible to skip some optional parameters without using (rest) parameter?
i have a small flash file with a dynamic text field with instance name: load_txt i have a server... [URL] what i would like to be able to do is when embedding my flash file with the empty text field, put a "?" after the .swf and then put something like "url" with that, in the actionscript i would have it set to go to: [URL] so if i did myserver.com/test.swf?url=ben the flash file would load, and whatever would be in: [URL]would load into the text field in the flash i would already have the url labeled, just need to place the name of the txt file in the .swf? and then it would load properly

View 2 RepliesForgive me for this stupid noob question but I want to call a function (loadList) that originally gets triggered after a mouseevent from another function (addToXML) that does not have an event.
The loadList function takes info from a XML var, sticks it into an array which then gets loaded into a tile list and that is working fine.
The addToXML function when called adds elements to the XML var after which I want to call the first function with the event parameter so it refreshes the items in the tile list.
I know it can do this by creating a new array and loading that into the tile list in the addToXML function, but it be much simpler to just recall the function.
I have tried things like
Code:
addToXML.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, loadList);
but all the event constants I have tried give me error messges like "1061: Call to a possibly undefined method addEventListener through a reference with static type Function."

I'm not using a document class.
