I am trying to figure out how to read an XML file containing a list of the swfs I want to import, pause for 8 seconds to allow the swf to run and then continue the loop with the next swf.
I am reading the XML correctly but I am having an issue creating the timer to pause the for loop for 8 seconds between slide.
I am trying to read a XML file and display its content in a simple list component or at the console. The problem is that the event listener is triggered in an infinite loop.
The code:
var myXML:XML;
var myLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
myLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, processXML);

A friend of mine has a Flash Action script running on a LAMP server that currently reads an xml config file. He's asked me if it's possible to remove the xml file, and replace it somehow with a system (lets call it an 'auto xml generator') that intercepts the request to read that file and generates an output, so it appears to all intents and purposes as if the file still exists and contains the contents that has actually been returned from our auto xml generator'

I'm looking for a way to randomly start an ordered list of SWF's. Well, that's not all I have my main SWF calling up external SWF's. I have 2 groups of external SWF's. From my main SWF Actionscript, I want to randomly play one SWF in Group A and continue cycling through Group A (in order) until it is finished. Then I want to randomly start playing one SWF from Group B and continue cycling through that list (in order) until the Group B is cycled through. Then repeat Group A (random start, but staying in order), etc.
Does this make sense?? I realize it's a challenge My current ActionScript works for Group A to randomly select and play in order, I need it to stop after it gets to the random starting point again (so it doesn't repeat) and start up Group B (which isn't in there yet)

trying to swap various children or change their index in the display list, and I think I might have painted myself into a corner (get ready, this one should blow your skirt up).I've got the following sequence of events:1. A pre-loader.swf (the parent) loads main.swf and about.swf, then adds main.swf to the stage.2. When main.swf is added to the stage, it displays all its content, including various buttons.3. When the "about" button is clicked, main.swf calls a function in pre-loader.swf that instructs pre-loader.swf to add about.swf to the stage.4. When about.swf is added to the stage, it displays all its content, including a text field.
At this point everything *looks* fine, but unfortunately the buttons in main.swf no longer work. They're visible, but they're no longer responding to mouse over/out/click events. I think maybe the buttons are being "covered" by about.swf (or its text field), so I'd like to place the text field below the buttons in the display list. However, since the objects are in different SWFs, I'm having all sorts of problems accessing them.

I need it to completely play through the Group A list before it goes onto Group B
I have a combobox and list component on the stage. The combobox has 3 selections. How do I get it so that each selection triggers the specific xml file to load into the list component? I can't get them to communicate to each other.
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to load a bunch of external swfs into a tile list. Once the swfs have been loaded I'm adding them to a dataprovider which I then sort and add to the tilelist. Like so:
dp.addItem({label:e.currentTarget.content.getLabel(), path:e.currentTarget.content.getPath(), source:e.currentTarget.content, cost:e.currentTarget.content.getCost(), category:e.currentTarget.content.getCategory()});
It works fine except that the way I'm doing it I have to add a bunch of functions to each swf to know which one is loaded and pass the correct info to the dataprovider.Is there another way to tell which swf has been loaded? Something like this.URLRequest. If I could tell something about it I could compare that to my original xml and find out all the other information I need for my dataprovider.
I have a main swf file and config.xml located in the same directory. My .swf file uses config.xml to fetch config variable which it does with success.The problem appears when I put those files into Flex directory. I embed .swf file like this.
<mx:Image id="loading" source="@Embed('/blobs/visualLogo/mySwfFile.swf')"
visible="true" horizontalCenter="0"/>
I also place config.xml into /blobs/visualLogo/
This time I get an error in Flex:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.

I mean, I use dynamically changing xml-data in my app that I could get straight from the server but it is gzipped. So I was wondering is there a way to unzip it and read it as a xml file with actionscript?

View 1 Repliestrying to change a gallery that reads xml file to one that reads txt files and that also has a preloader and centrally resizes automatically. since i got no replies i tried and finally after a few months managed to get it to read txt files. unfortunately, i have realised that i require the gallery to read data from a php file and not a txt file because i dont have the permissions to create a txt file and edit it on the server.
Code:
spacing = 10;
//photo._alpha = 0;
pArray = new Array();

Basically, I'm looking for all the events that happen as a swf is loading, getting starting, playing the first frame, etc. Ideally, I'd like it broken down by flash version....

View 1 RepliesSo lets say I created a simple game with all of the parameters are stored in variables. At any time of the game the user can press save, and these variables will be sent to .csv file using PHP. Each time the user presses save, it will add a new line in the file. This I know how to do.
Here is what I don't know how to do. How would I make it so that when the game is started, I wanted it to load the last line of variables from the .csv file into the game? So basically the last save needs to be loaded when the game is started.
I need to read a CSV file, (text only), I am using Flash builder 4, Flex 3.5 sdk.I have found a LOT of examples, but no one is working completely..
View 7 RepliesIs there a AS function or another way a SWF file could read its own filename? The reason for that I have a FLASH chess game which can store the position of the pieces in a sharedObject. The name of the sharedObject file as well its path has to be hard-coded. If I need to have several chess-games played at a time on the same computer, to store each game position I need to compile a separate SWF with a different sharedObject filename hard-coded. A user will fill more independent if he could just save a copy of the same SWF under a different name. But in this case how shall I make each copy of the SWF use its own sharedObject?

View 1 RepliesIm sure this is really rather retarded, but zeros are not being read from my xml file into the dynamic text boxes. ie. if I have a 10 it reads it as 1, and if I have 101 it reads it as 11.the strings calling the nodes from the xml file look like this:this.ref["pos1"].text = nodes[0].firstChild.firstChild.toString();and the xml file is like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encode="UTF-8"?>
<nodes>
<node>
