I am going to make a flash music player. I need it to be able to read variables from the PHP file that it's placed in. Example variables include: path to the MP3, length of the song, etc... These variables are stored in a MySQL database, not in XML files.
So how do I do this? Can you point me to a good tutorial?
How would I go about reading/writing variables to a file? I would like to be able to have my program remember all of its settings from the last run.

View 6 RepliesA 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'

View 3 Replieshey, im just wondering for the best way to read variables of a .php page into flash
the page output looks like this array[0,0]=1&array[0,1]=3&....
i tried load(http://urlhere); but that dident work =p
then i tried
Code:
myVars = new LoadVars();
myVars.load("http://xev.mine.nu/nyheter/news.php?search=des","0");
myVars.onLoad = function() {
[code]....
the real problem is, i guess that i need it to read in the variable array[0,0]=1
just like that and not use sumthingrather=(myVars.varname)
because there will be a hell of alot of variables , and the variable ammounts will switch and i cant do a sumthingrather=(myVars.varname)for all of em
I used a movieClip to store the attach movieclip, but How to get back the variable from that movieClip container, such as a I set a array in the exiting movieClip
var m_click:Array = new Array();
for (var f=0; f<=this[mc_name+"_qty"]._totalframes-1; f++)
{ m_click[f] = 0; }
I want the attached movieClip "y_qty" with a button inside to get the m_click for changing each m_click[0]..m_click[1]..value, how to do it?
I have these movies already existing in my actionscript code: inner_mc AND gallery_mc.So - I attach my library movie clip: called "link_box", and name it link_box0 and so on through the loop.
-->
for (i=0; i<numimages; i++) {
inner_mc.gallery_mc.attachMovie("link_box", "link_box"+i, i);
Now I want to create a new movieclip called thumbnail0 and so on, to the newly attached movieclip.
This is my attempt: this.movieHolder = inner_mc.gallery_mc.link_box+i.createEmptyMovieClip("thumbnail"+1, i+1);
When i try:trace(this.movieHolder ) it says undefined for all times it loops through.
Whats the syntax to combine strings and variables so that the result is seen as an object name ?

View 14 RepliesI have written some code to read and compare variables and then to jump to a particular frame based on the results (pretty simple stuff). It works fine when I use a button to trigger the code but I want it to happen automatically.
I have tried using the OnEnterFrame thingy but it doesn't work and I tried just placing the code on frame 1 and letting it do its thang but that didn't work either....

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:

So 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>
