just a quick shoot here...okay I try to refresh updated textfile data every 2 seconds and it's works ok if I'm using normal delimiters and proper data arrangement in textfile such as
[Code]...
I'm trying to load data from an external textfile, called "config_flash.txt". It works perfectly if applying the fetched data is done within the same function where the loading is done. However, I would like to use the fetched variables in other parts of the script.
Here's what works:
Actionscript Code:
var varLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader(new URLRequest("config_flash.txt"));varLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,
[code]...
So, basically I want the variables/values defined inside the function to be available anywhere in the script. The error that the second code snippet causes is as follows: "1120: Access of undefined property text1/text2".
In have an application that uses buttons t0 load different text files. The problem is when I load the second text file I still get variables from the first one showing. To clarify things, suppose I load a file that displays variables 1 through 5 randomly when I click one button, then I click a second button in order to load a file that displays 6 through 10. The problem is that I still get some variables from 1-5 when I want to get only 6-10. Is the first file kept in memory or something? How do I unload or clear the temp/memory where the content of the first file is held.

I have scoured the internet in search of an answer but everything I find doesn't work. Take this example:
Code:

When I run the above code the Output window displays Undefined.
I'm trying to load variables from an external .txt file into Flash MX and this is the code I'm using:
links = new LoadVars();
links.load("assignLinks.txt");
links.onLoad = function(success){
if(success) {
diovan = links.diovan;
diovanhct = links.diovanhct;
}}
trace(diovan);
trace(diovanhct);
(The text file has the following content: diovan=whatever&diovanhct=whateveragain&)
The trace outputs "undefined" for both variables. I also tried loadVariables instead of loadVars... same result. If this is a problem specific to Macs, whats the work around?

I am attempting to get data from an xml file load in flash. I followed a tutorial in a new fla and it seemed to work fine, I then tried to adapt it to my own needs which worked fine. But then when trying to implement this into my news section it doesn't seem to work. I am trying to make a news section, that displays the date and news article. This is in within a movie clip, I even tried putting it in the timeline of the scene but still nothing.
- I have 2 dynamic text boxes, date_txt and news_txt
- The xml file is named news.xml,
- both the fla and the xml are in the same folder
This is the actionscript I am using:

hi guys! just asking how to save text to textfile using AS2.
View 1 RepliesOkay so I am new to using txt files, and not too great with arrays, but I think I should have this right. But when I try to trace the array, I get undefined!I found this on another thread, and changed it accordingly.
Code:
_root.textArray = new Array();
_root.text_lv = new LoadVars();
[code]...
I have a variable which takes a particular form of array (used with the component DataSet). It looks like this:
Code:
var recData = [{svenska:"Hej", spanska:"Hola"}, {svenska:"nej", spanska:"no"}, {svenska:"ocks�", spanska:"tambi�n"}];
I want to extract this variable from a textfile instead of writing it directly into the code-area of the flash-file, so I used the following code:
Code:
// 1) Loads the textfile, recieves the array, and puts it into a variable called txt_Data
var txt_DataSet = new LoadVars();
[Code]....
Unfortunately it seems the array gets converted to an ordinary string in the process, so I cant use it properly. Is there a way I could extract the array from this string again, and if so, how?
What I'm wanting to do is set the scale of a textfile (putted in an mc) at 200% and scale with a prototype on release of a button to 100 precent (its height).

I want to load the same external textfile in two different textfields. No problem. My freaky question is: Can I adapt the text a little in one of the two fields, more specifically: leave out the last three symbols/letters? For instance: Elvis would have been dead if he was still alive >>> and: Elvis would have been dead if he was still alive The only trick I can think of is embedding the font, but not embedding the > sign. Is that possible? I am using Verdana here.
