ActionScript 2.0 :: Multiple Save And Load Text (theory)?
Apr 22, 2011
I understand flash does not allow to save text to file, but i have been using zinc 3.0 and can save and load a single text file within flash.1. run me through what the theory would be to have multiple input text fields that save to 1 text file and then is able to load the text from those text fields back into the same place? In theory or if someone knows.2. Is it possible to automatically load and save text to files using something similar to flush() with shared objects?3. Is it possible to have a username and password so multiple people can save and load there own answers? Perhaps having this password on the first frame as i have multiple frames with sl.

As the title states, I need to know how to save multiple text files, from multiple text boxes on the screen. Each textbox has the instance name of t1, t2, t3... and so on. Here is the code I have now:

Let me start by saying I have no intention of using php and I can't wait until flash cs5 comes out with its new read/write capabilities want to load and save XML files (stored on my local hard-drive) in AS3.I am using the FileReference class.Firstly I have noticed that when using FileReference.save if you replace an existing file instead of writing over the file data is appended to the end of the file. Can I make it so the file is overwritten (as it should be) or make it impossible for the user to save in such a situation.Secondly I want to load in text from an external file using FileReference.load I know that somehow you use FileReference.browse first to get it to work but I want to know exactly how to do it.I have looked for a tutorial about loading text in this manner and have not found one.

how to save and load .txt files using flash? like let's say i want to make my program so that when the user(s) get onto my website that they can save a .txt msg. and then they want, they can re-load this value from the .txt (it doesn't have to be a .txt file, i just figured that would be trhe easiest way) also i need this information to be saved onto the server. how can i do this? Like do i need Side Script? (and if i do what is that?)

I have read the tutorial called "loading text from external sources"(with 3 buttons loading 3 different texts) . I tried it but when I click right on the button, it says "cannot place actionscript directly on an object" Must the different buttons be on different layers?(In my project, they are on the last page of my site)

I've got several archived text files - 040107.txt,040207.txt, 040307.txt, for example - and I want to be able to build a dynamic link which loads whichever file is selected intothe Flash movie. This list needs to be able to build itself as Iwrite new files every day and add the old ones to the archive.

I've been trying to work on a web portal for updating a website I am creating. I originally duplicated a write-to-.txt php script and duplicated it for each of my pages, but for some reason it isn't working out very well as I assume they are fighting with each other. I am looking into creating what I assume is called an array, so that I can store 5 separate data pieces in one text file but I can't seem to find a tutorial that is close to this. the closest I can find is a guestbook tutorial but it is very out of date. I would like to be able to store multi-line text (so that paragraphs and breaks are preserved) from 5 different input boxes and then retrieve that data upon loading of the input boxes and in a different page which would be the actual content of the website.

I have managed to load an external text file in one place one the maintimeline. I would like to do the same thing on other frames. When I go to duplicate the same thing that I did on the first one I get a duplicate textReq request. Do I need to give the textReq a more specific name for each section? When I did this the movie wouldn't even recognize and of the code that was working before.I am attaching link so you can see sections I am talking aboutAlso you will notice that the swf file I loaded won't go away. That's another problem...ugh.Here is code on maintimeline:

I am trying to load text from an external XML file into a dynamic text box. I have so far managed to load single parts of the XML file into a dynamic text field. I now want to be able to load different parts of the XML file (something similar to a string with appendText) into the same text Field. I have so far managed to achive this using the String and append text properties, but would like to use XML file to do it instead.

i'm attempting to resolve a problem with targeting. i would like to target multiple iframes from a link that has been pulled into a flash document. basically, the link needs to load a title and an mov file. the mov file has to be loaded into an iframe, but the title could be loaded into another dynamic text field.. i'm using a text file that is loaded into a dynamic text field. the link within the text file currently looks like this:
<a href="video/AlzyGramp.mov" target="videowindow" onClick="parent.titles.location.href = 'alzy.html'; return true;">Alzy Gramps</a>
but it doesn't work. is there a problem with flash htmltext reading javascript? i even installed the flashjavascript gateway.

Site loads two flash files at the same time with multiple dynamic text fields that load .html files with external css style sheets. The site works almost perfectly when viewed offline, but when you upload it the text boxes sometimes load and sometimes do not. I'm a graphic designer so I really don't know actionscript 3.0 (or any version) very well... so I'm attaching the footer .fla file which by itself suffers from the same problem, and the other files are too big to upload so here is the link to the other .fla file used on the homepage

I have four objects with a .speed property. I want to compare all four and snag the object with the lowest speed. That alone I can get a grip on no problem. But, it's quite possible that 2 or more of the objects could have the same lowest speed. Here's where my ideas start to get muddled and rather involved. Compare two, toss the lowest in an array, if equal toss them both in.Compare the third to the array, if it's lower replace the existing item(s) with this one, if it's equal add it.Do a similiar thing with the fourth.To do all that I can't think of anything but a boatload of IFs and nested IFs.

I am trying to get a handle on interfaces with AS3 and am kind of at a sticking point. Someone tried to explain them to me using legos and conceptually I get the idea of consistent interaction. Where I seem to get stuck is, I don't really see how the implementation of interfaces accomplishes this.

Lets say we have an online application written in AS3 and served from a server as a SWF. The first version to go out is V1.0.
Several users, some behind a proxy server, use the V1.0 application and now there is a cached copy on the client machines and the proxy server.
V1.1 is released and placed on the server. All users should see V1.1, but results will vary, some will be served the fresh copy, some will for a period receive their cache's copy, and finally some will be served the cache'd copy in the proxy server.
I can be code in the V1.0 that checks a server variable to see if it's out of date. BUT if it is out of date, is there a way in AS3 to force it download a fresh copy, or apply the differences into itself?
Considering that I don't have access to the proxy server and can't manually or automatically clear the cache.

what I am trying to do and maybe some of you nice people can point me in the right direction or present some code examples etc.I am an intermediate Flasher but have never really done anything too hardcore....Here goes.I have an html file(or maybe it's flash depending on what's easier) with 5 radio lists in a form. Each of the lists have post variables that consist of say, option1a,b,c etc... option2a,b,c etc.Once you have checked each option and submit I want to post those variables to an XML file.
NOW STEP 2....I create a flash file with 5 empty movie clips named box1,box2,box3 etc.I create individual LoadMovie actions which dynamically get the name of the .swf file they need to load in each box by calling the variables from the xml file.

I would like to create a swf that pulls images from a folder, creates a thumbnail for them and preloads them. This would have to work like a bare template that could pull 2 or 20 images depending on what folder it is placed in. I'm not asking for code here, what I would like to get from you is thoughts on what works, and what doesn't. paste code if you want to explain someting, but really I just want to be able to wrap my head around this, and then code it myself, and comeback here with specific questions if I run into problems. I would like to keep this to just flash and php if at all possible.

Can someone clear up for me the theory behind the fact you can not redispatch custom event?I am talking about the situation where you get custom event (in your event handler method) and try to dispatch it again as it is - and you get the Error #1034: Type Coercion failed.example:

I have been using flash since version 3 as a designer.I want to know how to make an object that I have manually placed on the stage from the library with a Class attached to it, interact with the Document Class? So I am basically dragging the item onto the stage and this item has a class attached and the Document Class with all of its SubClasses needs to know this exists.
Now I was dabbling with making geometry wars to learn AS3 Classes and it was great fun, I set up the Document Class, my enemies and Player 1 Spaceship. I worked out my different SubClasses, and everything was added to the stage by AddChild() along with all SubClasses being created through the Document Class....Every Class Object was linked to the Document Class as everything was created either by it or through SubClasses under it. So I had full control to do what I wanted. However, all I ever see are elements generated dynamically to the stage. As a designer I want to animate things here and there and then at specific times possibly gain control of this item with it's Class attached, but I want the Document to have a link to this Item.
Also can everybody please stop generating text boxes dynamically all of the time. just create a MovieClip with the form elements on it if it's a form that isnt going to change in layout at all. But this leads onto the same sort of questions, the items arent being created and added to the stage as objects so you still have to make the MovieClip Class understand the items under it exist, I would do it by the Instance Name but is this dirty these days in AS3..

I am new to ActionScript. I am designing a calendar with schedule just like outlook calendar. I have 30 or 31 small text boxes for each month. I would like to save data in the text boxes so that data remains in that even when the file is closed. I used the following code and it works fine.
[Code]....
My question is, I have totally more than 360 text boxes for 12 months. How can I save all data using shared object? I tried loop, Array and function with the above code. But it did not work. You can also tell me if there is any other way to save data using PHP MySQL or ASP? If so how to do that?

I'm wondering if purepdf has the ability to save formatted text from a user-inputted text field. If so, how is this achieved? From what I understand, purepdf is basically iText, and I believe iText has the ability to parse HTML and save formatted text into a PDF. Does purepdf have that same functionality that I can tap into and plug in 'textfield.htmlText' somewhere?

The desired affect is simple: I have a single button... with each click I want it to load text into a dynamic text field and load a corresponding picture or movieclip.There are only three unique text/image combinations- after its displayed the third, with the next click I want it to just start over. All the text functions perfectly with each click.
The problem is:I use "createEmptyMovieClip" then use the resulting clip as a loader clip.. With the first click I want a movieclip from the library to load, so I use the "attachMovie" method- it displays the first library fine.With the next click I want to load an external swf- so I call the "loadMovie" method of the loaderclip... The external swf loads just fine replacing the first library clip.The third clip is where I have problems... now I want to load another library item into the loaderclip... so I tried using the attachMovie method again but the external swf remains static... then with the next click, I discover the first library item no longer loads and the external swf remains still playing- it's like once it's been loaded into the loaderclip it cant be moved...
So I tried adding the "unloadMovie" method in the code for the third click.. it successfully removed the swf... but the next line of code immediately after the unload statement, doesn't work. The line calls the attachMovie method for the loaderclip... but the library item doesnt load... Oddly enough, with the next click, the first library item now does load as if everything's fine... It seems like you cant use the unloadMovie and attachMovie on the same executing code? if that makes any sense... the basic idea was that if I couldnt get the attachmovie method to replace the loaded external swf, then I would use the unload method to remove it, then have code immediately after, to then execute the attachMovie method... but it still doesnt load the library clip. and I know it's not a type-o, because when I comment out the loadMovie and unloadMovie statements, it loads both the library items perfectly ? The code is below
var increment:Number = 1;
var verbiage1:String = "Hello World1";
var verbiage2:String = "Hello World2";[code].............

I'm having a brutal time with a FLA. The wait time to open this thing is ridiculous, and alot of the time the program will just become nonresponsive. Its only this one specific file, as others open fine. It also has nothing to do with the hardware on my system, as we've tried the file on a variety of machines.The FLA itself contains very little bitmap art, most is vector. It's about 16mbs, but publishes down to a SWF thats about 300kb. There were some complex vector elements which were removed in a fruitless attempt to get this thing to move faster. Trying to "save as.." results in flash writing to a file extremely slowly. The resulting file will progress in size from 2 - 4 mb with about 10 minutes wait time in between. Its becoming nearly impossible for us to work in the file. how I could debug Flash itself to find out whats going wrong on load/save?
