ActionScript 2.0 :: Path To Xml File For Swf Inside Swf?
Mar 24, 2010
I'm trying to get a swf inside a swf to load xml data and I don't fully understand relative paths.I want to include all the necessary info.I have a main swf in my index.html page and a gallery.swf loaded into a container in the main swf, and I can't get the gallery.swf to load the xml data. See pic. I'm not sure if the path to XML file is wrong OR the paths to the image in the XML file are wrong.Here is the structure in the root:
root/index.html (contains main.swf)
root/flash/gallery.swf[code]....
I know the gallery swf IS loading into the main swf because for now I'm using the absolute path and I have typed "test" on the gallery stage and it shows up. (Once I get a grip on paths, I'll change the absolute path to a relative path, but for now, I need to reduce my variables for troubleshooting).I've think I've tried every path permutation for the load XML path inside the gallery swf:
ActionScript Code:
myXML.load("scripts/xml/gallery.xml");
myXML.load("./scripts/xml/gallery.xml");[code]....
I've also tried every permutation for the paths to the images, but unfortunately BOTH need to be right for the pics to show up!
Code:
<image image_small="gallery/thumbs/kirk_ross_01.jpg"
<image image_small="./gallery/thumbs/kirk_ross_01.jpg"[code].......

I'm trying to reference a specific frame inside a MC in my .swf file from an .as file. What I want is to capture the current frame of the movie clip for the .as file. It's for the purpose of points when you shoot each plane. It's an easy trick of frame 1's plane would be worth 100 points, frame 2's plane 200 points, etc. I thought I'd write a line like this in my collision detection section of my .as file.
Code:
planePoints = currentFrame * 100;
The only problem is, of course, it grabs the current frame of the main .swf timeline that my flash file uses, and not the movieclip that's being called to produce the planes. So I thought I'd be able to specify a path to the movie clip (in this case it's called Airplane in the MC's linkage properties).
Code:
planePoints = Airplane.currentFrame * 100;
Then, of course, it freaks out and says that 'access of possibly undefined property currentFrame through a reference with static type Class.'
I still get confused with AS3 and the way items are handled vs AS2. I've lost track of how many times I type _root. Am I getting something basic mucked up here or should I be importing something in the package to get it to recognize the class?

When using as3 and embed my swf via swf object JS, one of the parameters that being transferred to the embed JS function is "base=http://www.mydomain.com" which needed in order to load external widget into application.
Now, am also loading external assets like Styles.swf that placed locally on client side, and when I'm trying to load these assets I get error that they don't found in [URL]
For example: StyleManager.loadStyleDeclarations("Styles.swf");
Error: can't load [URL]
Is it possible somehow to load Styles.swf as local assets??? I've tried use
StyleManager.loadStyleDeclarations("../Styles.swf");
StyleManager.loadStyleDeclarations("./Styles.swf");
StyleManager.loadStyleDeclarations("/Styles.swf");

When I click on the button, it should bring me to a specific location which is inside the MovieClip, and that works. However, from inside that MC, I want to click on the same button, it should bring me on the main time line. How to do that? I am making of a variable (boolean) here. Is there something wrong in my code? (see path.fla)
(b) How do I remove a movie clip? (see path2.fla) When I clik on the square_btn, it brings me to a location inside that movie clip where there is an oval button. When I reach that oval button, I want the square_btn to me temporarily removed on that page.

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?

mylistener.onOpen = function(file){

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.

How can I get the full file path of a file? I have this so far:
ActionScript Code:
var fileRefList:FileReferenceList = new FileReferenceList();
fileRefList.addEventListener(Event.SELECT, selectHandler);
browse.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, brwoser);
[Code]....
I can only get the file name and that pretty useless for an upload to a server. I will be using php to ftp it to my server.

Not sure if this is right?
// Setup our XML loader and tell it the file path to our XML file.// Also, add an event listener to call the loadComplete() function// when the loading of our XML file is complete.
var xmlURLLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();var xmlURLRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("loadImages.xml");xmlURLLoader.load(xmlURLRequest);
xmlURLLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, loadComplete); function loadComplete(e:Event):void{ // Build new instance of XML object (imageList) and copy into // it the data from e.target which is the xml_loader object (which // contains the data loaded from our XML file). var imageList:XML = new XML(xmlURLLoader.data);

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.

I am coding an AIR application.
I've got directly a path of a swf file (because it was stored in a xml file). Do yo know if it is possible to get the ByteArray from this file ?
I know that FileReference do that very well, but this class need a select event. But it isn't my case because I've allready got my path.

I'm using UILoaders to load different .swf files into the main .swf and am having a problem when I try to load a specific .swf file after a series of steps.I wanted to know if there was a way to see which is the current path that the application is in so that I can know if my relative paths are working or if I have to change them.I want to do something in the likes of this.path, or anything that works that way.

I have a swf that is in a different directory then the index. so I make sure that the xml has the proper relative path to the location of the index. which works fine for all the images that I load in.. simple enough right?but for some reason the NetStream seems to want to use the base url location as the location of the swf instead of the index.. to apply the relative url too..I have never seen this behavior before and was wondering if this is how its supposed to be..I already double checked my xml to make sure it was not doubling up the folder name..but basically the xml is like so..
<video src="foldername/videos/file.flv" />
but when i view it online. the browser is looking for the file here..
domain.com/content/foldername/foldername/videos/file.flv

I am making flash mp3 player. I am using FileReference to browse for files. I won't get the file path and later realized that it is a security concern. But I tried using HTML.
I used ExternalInterface to trigger flash function from HTML which opens file selection box using FileReference.browse() option.So, as the flash file is in the HTML form, can i track the file path in HTML and send it to flash.

I plan to run my App off a thumb drive, and I need to be able to find the full filepath of my Flash app at run time, so I can then point to an xml folder on the hard drive. I need it to work on Windows or Mac, so it needs to find the full path of the running file, then append the "xml" folder onto the end.

Is there any way to get the file path of an object that is selected through the browse() method in the FileReference class. I don't think it can be done with a FileReference object, but is there another class that allows this, or any possible way to do this using XML?

I have an xml file that includes image paths.I'd like to read that image path from the xml and display theimage (a jpg or gif) on the stage.However, when I trace image_path from my xml file, the resultseems to knock off the "http:" part of the node.Also, when I load the image, the loader ends up being null(maybe this is because I didn't set up an event handler for it).

I am trying to build a .xml image scroller using the scroll pane component in CS4.I choose Actionscript3. Drag the component to the stage. Give it an instance name.Then I look for the Parameters that used to be in the properties panel in CS3. Not there anymore.I find that the Components Inspector has Parameters in there now.OK.I need to use ContentPath to tell the component where the .xml file is so it can find the images for the scroller.Can't find 'ContentPath'.How can I point the component to a .xml file?Is there a way of getting Parameters back in with properties - it was so much easier.

I've downloaded the tweener.swc from their google project page I create my fla file put it in a folder and put in the same folder the tweener.swc file.
I go to ActionScript settings > Library path > hit the + button > I type the relative path which should be just tweener.swc or not sure but just a dot (.) or / to get all the classes and libraries from the same folder in which the fla is located.
But it says it can't load the swc or my imports don't find the classes.
P.S. With absolute path it works.
