Problem that I want to share with you is that I have two external swf. One is swf generated by Flex IDE and second one is generated by Flash IDE. When I load flex swf, loading progress output is not showing until the whole file is loaded. This problem is not presented when I load flash swf as you can see on this testing page 90.157.198.254/test/test.php.

View 2 RepliesI am trying to preload an mp3 file dynamically while showing the typical 'percentage loaded' in a dynamic text box. However for some reason, the percentage just doesn't count up - it freezes on 100% even though the mp3 file is still loading. I have included the code that I'm using below. Also, does anyone know what would be the best way to adjust this code so that I could preload multiple mp3 files at the same time or one after another?

When using the "Display data from an external file" tutorial from this site, I ran into a problem. It loads the text, but it only loads a certain number of characters... I am trying to load a few paragraphs of text but it stops loading halfway through the text file.Can someone please tell me how to get it to read the whole text file?I need it to read from a text file, so xml is out of the question. it must be editable by someone with no computer knowledge so I'm trying to make it as easy for them to change as possible.I am in a rush to fix this problem i'm having. I am searching, but hopefully someone will be able to give me a fix that will make it quicker.

View 2 Repliesthe variables from the text file are loaded in swf and in dreamweaver the swf throws an error
Error: Error #2101: The String passed to URLVariables.decode() must be a URL-encoded query string containing name/value pairs.
at Error$/throwError()
at flash.net::URLVariables/decode()
at flash.net::URLVariables()

loadVariablesNum ("text.txt", 0);
2. A dynamic text instance as: text
PHP Code:
loadVariables("text.txt", _root.text);
