ActionScript 2.0 :: Path To XML File And Image Files?
Feb 17, 2009
I have done some coding in the past in .asp .aspx, but it is not my primary forte. I am working on a site that has a page for project photo galleries, and have been following a lot of the tutorials from this site. I have a directory structure as follows:
For testing purposes, in projects.fla, and resulting projects.swf, I have:
xmlData = new XML();
xmlData.ignoreWhite = true;
xmlData.onLoad = loadXML;
[Code]....
how to code projects.fla with the correct path to the .xml file in the <root>projectsproject1 directory, and ideally, a way to make it dynamic so I can pass the path to the projects.swf file using a variable, and be able to direct the movie to use the intended xml file, thumbnails, and images based on the press of a button contained in a projects menu. Unless I have missed something, all of the tutorials I saw had the images and .xml file in the same directory as the .swf.
I'm in flash cs3 project. I need to create a pdf file from an image path included into an xml file or if easy also in a written path as the code below:[code]
I am trying to import an image path from a xml file. I can trace out the correct file name but I can't seem to load the file into the holder.I get this error:
Error #2044: Unhandled IOErrorEvent:. text=Error #2035: URL Not Found.
I presume there's something else I need to add to the XML syntax.
Code:
// HOLDER: var LoaderImagesMC:MovieClip = new MovieClip(); // LOADER:
I am converting a speexdecoder code to C in alchemy. The problem is that i am importing a header file #include <speex/speex.h>. Alchemy gcc gives an error that speex.h not found. I have placed the speex directory where my C code is.
I'm building a site that loads in various swfs for each section, which in turn load in videos, sounds, xml etc. Lets call these 'third level stuff'. Does anyone know how I can load the third level stuff into their swfs without having to put full paths in from the Main swf file? I hope that makes sense?! for example. A loaded swf pulls in a video from its own directory, so would look something like:
Does Flash look for .swc files only through library path or can I put .swc file to the .fla directory too? I tried that but It seems that Flash does not look for .swc files there, I guess only for .as files.
I'm trying to get this xml 'image_loader' (similar to kde wipes) rotation thing working for this page i'm working on. i have to make some adjustments with the path to the files according to how it is going to work on this site i'm working on. i'm not sure how or where to change the path in the actionscript to get to the path.
i've included a folder called '- example working without paths' which is to show how it is supposed to look. this works when everything is in one folder. but, when i setup the site structure the swf can't find the xml or the images to load...so i'm not really sure how to fix it. the 'root.hml' in the root folder represents the main html file that i'm using for the site.
I have a website im making in which jpgs are loaded through the loader component (using flash pro 2004) and I set the path and to autoload but the jpg. files won't load; something to note I have many instances of one loader but with different paths for different pictures.
I was wondering if it would be possible to write a file, not to the local system, but to a connected server or other network path. Would i have to use an external php interface for this or can i entrust this to the AIR framework?
Is there a way to add paths to the Flash runtime search path for loading files? Say I want to load myXML.xml and its down in /myDir1/myDir2/myXML.xml. Is there any way I can add "/myDir1/myDir2" to the search path so I can just load using the string "myXML.xml" INSTEAD of loading by the full path "/myDir1/myDir2/myXML.xml"? My directory structure will be changing on a semi-regular basis so I can't hard-code the direct path to the file.
I want to know the 'file path' when an user selects a file from 'any location' on his hard disk. I like to know is it possible to fetch the entire file URL instead of the file name alone?
Code: var fileRef= new FileReference(); fileRef.addListener(mylistener); mylistener.onOpen = function(file){ [Code]....
I am working with Flex, Flash, Action Script and I want to browse the local machine file system using Operating System's file browse window and select a file then i want to get the full path of the selected file. How can I do this?
I have managed to get it to open a file browser but all I can seem to get it to do is give me the NAME of the selected file *eg. selectedFile.name* I also need the path of the file as in C:examplefile.mp3.
The program I'm making plays an MP3 of your choice at a certain time, like an alarm clock. But I got tired of entering the file path of the MP3 EACH time so I wanted to have a browse feature.
I have a strange problem: When I type the absolute URL to my SWF file it works fine; however, only the background image appears when the SWF is embedded in the home page.
So I've created a script where a mc is clicked on and the player can draw a path using the mouse. I'm trying to figure out how I can get the mc to follow the path drawn out by the player's mouse and when the player clicks again, it erases all of the path.my code is below
I am working on making a picture move along a path but for some reason I can't get it to work. I have followed the instructions in my text book but the image just goes down at an angle to the bottom right of the stage instead of following the path I created in the motion guide.

I'm creating a DVD with an image gallery, everything local. But the thing is my loaded images appears within flash, and not outside when I execute the swf. The path of the image is inside an array (from an xml file). If I write the path of my trace(array[x][x]), the image outside flash is shown. But when I write: loadMovie(array[x][x].toString()) or loadMovie(array[x][x]) It doesn't... I did a trace of array[x][x] and it shows me the exact path to the image.. Code: _root.obra_mc.containerImg_mc.loadMovie("images/Patrimonio/Ceramica/"+(obras[0][1]).toString());
I'm trying to figure out a way to alter a path to an image that is in a meta tag. It's for a facebook share button, and I'd like the ability to change the thumbnail image that is sent to facebook depending on where the user is in my flash file. The link itself is sent from flash no problem but I'd like to update this meta tag Code: <link rel="image_src" href="[URL]" / > First somehow (not sure if PHP is the answer or flashvars or what) and then send the link. I attempted to just add all the facebook meta data to a php file that had a redirect link to the facebook share but it didn't like that hack. So basically I need to alter the meta tag on the current page and send the link from flash.
I have an application that I'm migrating from flex 3 to flex 4.5. In this application, there is some mx Image components that load a simple swf file (image). Spark image doesn't load swf files, so I was wondering, should I keep the mx Image, or should I change it to SWFLoader? Is there any advantages to using one or the other?
The solution should be straight forward but I cannot find it, my problem it's that I'm reading a xml, and one of the properties inside the xml it's a Bitmap path(string), when I`m reading this xml I would like to convert this string to a Bitmap Obj so I can use through my MXMLs.
