ActionScript 2.0 :: MyArray.length [MX] - Loading An External Array From A Text File
Feb 9, 2003
I am loading an external array from a text file like this.
file = new LoadVars();
fileURL = "PhoneBook.txt";
I then trace fileURL.length and I getting a number much greater then my fileURL array length.
The array I am loading into flash looks like this. firstName0=zzzzz&lastName0=zzzzz&phoneNumber0=zzzz zzz firstName1=zzzzz&lastName1=zzzzz&phoneNumber1=zzzz zzz Is there a problem with using myArray.length for an external file?

I have figured out how to load an external video file - and I can play an imported audio file, but I can't seem to use either method to load an external audio file into an array.
Here is my audio code:
var tour_audio:Array = [tour1, tour2];
var my_num:Number= Math.floor(Math.random()*2);
var ChosenSound = tour_audio[my_num];
var playing:Sound = new ChosenSound();
playing.play();
Here is my video code:
var my_videos:Array=new Array ("link1.mp4", " link2.mp4", " link3.mp4", " link4.mp4");
var randomIndex = Math.floor(Math.random()*my_videos.length);
my_player.source = my_videos[randomIndex];
I tried "var tour_audio:Array = ["link1.mp3", "link2.np3"]; - but that did not work.

I'm using LoadVars to load an external file that has one variable containing an array with a few sub arrays.
Code:
var externalData:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
externalData.onLoad = function() {
var sectArray:Array = externalData.sectArray;
};
externalData.load("portfolio.txt");
But every time I try to get one of the values I get "undefined". is there another way?

Let's say I have array foo and a positive integer y, where foo.length > y.I want to remove elements from foo so that foo.length becomes y (or very close to it).Also, I need to preserve the first and last element of foo. The indices of the removed elements must be spaced apart as equally as possible. Foo can be sliced, or it can be used to create a new array.
Example: if foo = [a,b,c,d,e,f,g,1,2,3,4,5] and y = 6, then trimmedfoo could be [a,c,e,g,2,4,5] or maybe [a,c,e,2,4,5], but not [a,c,e,g,2,4] because the last element of foo is missing.

I'm creating a flash portfolio, I have small image icons, each icon when clicked on loads a diff. swf file, image gallery that loads bigger external images. I would like a different external text file to load every time a diff. image gallery loads, for some reason I cant find the answer to my problem,
I would like to add some actionscrpt to each icon/button so it will load a new txt file when clicked on.
(each image icon is a button and has the instance name of icon 1, 2 etc.)
the code goes like this;
stop();
menuHolder.loadMovie("retail/photoViewer.swf")
loadMovie ("retail/photoViewer.swf", "_root.menuHolder");

Code:name=Kirupa Chinnathambi&email=blah@blah.com&location=EarthI've tried to make it neater by putting a few line breaks here and there. But it causes the movie to not work. So, is there any way to not write the text in an external file in one super long and disgusting line? It's quite hard to edit the text when you have many variables.Question 2How do you use the basic HTML text formatting functions in an external .TXT file? I'm talking about stuff like:
Code:
<br>, <p>, and etc...

I'm trying to get an external text file to load into my movie. I read the tutorial about the scrollbar w/ external text file but it's not really clear and it seems somewhat out dated... I'm anxiously awaiting ASDG2 coming out on December 19th. What would the code look like to load a text file called "theText.txt" into a text field called "theField_mc" created with AS itself attached to a mc called "theMC_mc" created with createEmptyMovieClip(); ? I'm trying to do this %100 AS, no instance manually put on the stage.

I have a Flash movie that loads variables from an external plain text file, that a client updates themselves (from a web site which generates the file). A problem occurred when they used an ampersand symbol in the text field. Is there a way around this? I haven't seen a way to escape it that works.

I have to modify an existing flash 8 movie (not created by me) which uses as2, and is composed of multiple movieclips. One such movieclip holds a textbox (static) which however needs to be updated frequently to show latest news, and because of this now I have to make this movieclip's textbox to read texts from an external file instead, a text file to be precise. How to proceed with this in Flash 8 AS2, whether I need to create a new layer for the as code or add it directly to the movieclip's layer, and also the as 2 code itself, as I tried the following but it is returning an error that cannot load the text file, I also change the textbox from static to dynamic and gave it an instance name Text1 (I once tried something like this in flash cs4 and it worked fine, but in flash 8 its not working.
Code:
var timeStamp:String = "&timeStamp=" + new Date().getTime();
var noCacheUrl:String = "?noCache=" + Math.random() + timeStamp;
var myLVars = new LoadVars();
myLVars.onLoad = function(success) {
if (success){
_root.mcNews.Text1.text = this.VarEn;
}}
myLVars.load("News_En.txt"+noCacheUrl);

So I have a dynamic text field that is loading an external .txt file with html coding in it.I can get the text to load and display properly, however I now want to make a custom scrollbar and I have no clue how to even get it to work.I've tried a few things and just can't figure it out. I want to make a custom one instead of using the component one. It doesn't even have to be a traditional scrollbar, I would much rather just use an up and down arrows. In the past I've just used buttons and placed AS directly onto them.The code that is loading the text into the text box is: (I don't know if that will help at all but I'm posting it anyways)[code]

I am attempting to load text from an external .txt file into dynamic text fields using AS2When you click on a button (named forward and back), I want the next &-denoted "news" item to repopulate the current dynamic text boxes to replace the first bit of info.This is what I have so far, but I'm stumped. I used the trace to make sure the button is "clicking" (it is), but I can't get the integer to go up a number and repopulat the fields.
var newsData:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
newsData.load("data.txt");
newsData.timeline = this;

I'm loading 6 variables from a text file to populate an array, then using setInterval to populate two textfields every 5 seconds. IE7 gives me the "A script in this file is causing Flash Player 10 to run slowly do you want to abort this script?" It runs fine locally, but when I upload it, it won't work. Files are in the same folder in each case. Here is the entire script.

I'm using the .unshift method therefore the newest values go into [0] and the rest are pushed down.
What is a good method to remove a value from an array once it has passed a certain length? For example i only want my array to hold 5 values.
Also, is there a method for clearing the entire array, ie removing all values? Or will i have to manually change all the values with a loop?

I've managed to piece together a flash website with my limited as3 knowledge. The text is loaded from external text files and styled with an external css file.
It's working perfectly in Firefox and Explorer but it only works SOME of the time in Safari (on my mac).It's hit and miss. Sometimes it styles the text sometimes it doesn't.

im trying to use array.length to get the total indexs of the array, before running a loop on all of thoes indexs when i attempt to do this(i added a few extra things for the sake of debugging and understanding)
ActionScript Code:
var selectcharacternames:URLVariables = new URLVariables(evt.target.data);
trace(selectcharacternames)[code]....
does array.length not work with url variables is it possible to turn url variables into a array(im assuming it is not a array as a reason why this doesnt work)

Array 2 = [5,7,10];
Now, I wanted to create a new Array the is the same as the length of Array 1. The output should look like this:
New Array = [0,0,5,7,0,10];
