any one had a function that made strings url friendly. like for example it would turn "Beastie Boys" into "Beastie%20Boys" so it could be used in urls.
View 4 RepliesIt is my desire to transmit some data encoded in Action Message Format (AMF3) over a socket to and from Flash. I need to know two things:
1) How to read AMF3 data off a Flash Socket object. I'm assuming it will come through as an array of bytes and that array of bytes must be decoded into actual Actionscript Strings/Arrays/Objects or whatever.
2) How to turn Actionscript vars into AMF encoded binary strings.

I'm wondering if theres a way I can turn a variable of strings (separated by commas) into an array?I'm using the loadVars object to import variables from a text file that I'd like to import to flash as an array.For example if the variable I import from the text file looks like this:&myVar=charlie,dog,cat,test&I'd like to get it into an array in Flash like thismyArray = new Array["charlie","dog","cat","test"];
View 14 RepliesI work on AS3 one week, and then take a break for a few weeks, then work on it a day, take a break, etc.. So I forget some of the basics, and need refreshers. I think I need to stop taking breaks.
Problem: I push multiple strings into an array, and some of the strings are the same.
Code:
var myArray = new Array();
myArray.push (Snivvle);
myArray.push (Kirupa);
myArray.push (Snivvle);
I want to find out which element positions "Snivvle" hogs up. We can see that it would be using element 0 and 2, and if we do an "indexOf" we would only get to see element 0, and doing a "lastIndexOf" we would only see element 2. How do I find out ALL of the element positions "Snivvle" is located in, so that it returns: element 0, element 2.
I'll start off by saying I'm a newbie, just putting that out there. How do you make a turn by turn multiplayer flash game? I don't know if an engine is made in AS3, PHP, Javascript, or whatever,I made my game already, it's just that it isn'tmultiplayer yet. Basically, there are lines, and each player crosses out a number of lines, and the last player to cross out a line is the loser. I want it where one user crosses out some lines, then presses End Turn, then the other does their turn and then presses End Turn to allow the other player to move his cursor. But how can I get both players to see the same frame and only have one player have the ability to move the cursor during a turn? Is there some easily adaptable multiplayer engine for flash for newbies out there
View 2 RepliesI want to make a navigation, but this is a flash navigation in a normal website.
naturally its going to include rollovers, but i'd like it to show which page your already on.
is there a way in AS3 to detect URLs?
I have a flash template and I can not add urls to the menu text.
View 1 RepliesOn one of the pages (In the site I'm designing) I have 4 buttons that need to link to 4 separate URLS. When I code one of the buttons, a link on another page is stopped.I guess what I'm asking is, what is the best way to 'layout' my button links in each page? And what is the best way to achieve 4 buttons with 4 different urls.

I am a designer working on a flash project that is used to navigate to html pages. The project is a map - when you roll over different states there is an animation making that state pop out and show the state name. When you click each state (Button), it should open an html webpage. Right now the project works great, but I have the url's coded in flash actionscript using "onpress" and "load url." I would like to set it up so the flash file calls the URL for each button from an xml file, so it can be easily edited. The only thing it needs to call is the URL for each button. Can anyone give me simple instructions on how to make that happen?
View 5 RepliesHow would you add a target="_self" function onto the buttons in this actionscript (as3) I need the buttons to open within the same browser window and not a new (_blank) window:
skype_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, mouseDownHandler);
function mouseDownHandler(event:MouseEvent):void {
navigateToURL(new URLRequest("skype:mySkypeIdentifier"));
} email_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, mouseUpHandler);
function mouseUpHandler(event:MouseEvent):void {
navigateToURL(new URLRequest("mailto:myEmailAddresss@myDomain.com?subject=rts
Esolutions enquiry"));
}
I have a slide show swf file with an invisible button on the top frame. I would like this button to go to different URLs depending on what frame the movie is on when it is clicked. Is this possible?
The following works for one url:
oneBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, oneButtonFunction);
function oneButtonFunction(event: MouseEvent) {
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://webpage/");
navigateToURL(request);
}
The reason I am trying to do it this way is I want the script to all be on one frame because I will be using this as a template for other slide shows and want to be able to edit the urls all in one window. I already have a slide show with key frames at the places where the new url would be accessed is click, but it is a pain to edit and add new content.
I'm building a flash app that gets rss links from a list but then I need to retrieve the rss feed from the rss link to work with in flash. I did this locally using a proxy.php wich works on all types of urls.
PHP Code:
<?php
$url = $_GET['url'];
readfile($url);
?>
But on the server it only works with urls ending in .rss but not when it's a redirected url like .xml or other feedreader urls. How do I retrieve the rss from redirected urls on servers? Little sidenote, I made a test using a php form to call this proxy.php file that I made and when I use the urls that don't work in the flash app it does retrieve the rss feeds.
I'm building an mp3 player expressively to make my music URLs a little less steal-able. Forgive my hacking ignorance here, but would it be better to embed my playlist XML (with the URLs) in the SWF rather than having the SWF read the XML file from my server? Seems that the latter approach would be easier to intercept...
I'm pretty sure that no one wants my mp3s badly enough to decompile the code. But with the player currently at my site, my XML playlists -- with the URLs -- started to come up in Google searches. Would rather avoid *that* level of exposure.

View 6 RepliesI've created a flash intro for a website and I have it setup so that in the first frame of the intro it opens a popup window, and then in the last frame it opens the actual site in the same window as the intro. Right now when it hits the last frame it opens up the popup window again also! Ack! The code I've used for opening the popup window is:var url:URLRequest = new URLRequest("player.html"); navigateToURL(url, "_blank");
the code used in the last frame to move to the site is:var urlReq:URLRequest=new URLRequest('index2.html');navigateToURL(urlReq,'_self');
I'm guessing that it has something to do with re-using the same variable name. I tried changing the code in different ways on the second window opening but still had the same result, or broke it opening up any pages at all. I've also tried moving the two code snippets to different layers. I'm thinking there might be a few ways around this too such as if there is a way to trigger the popup window, and then have the intro wait x seconds and then opens the main site or something, but I have no clue how to go about doing any of this. have the site in question in a temp location currently and it can be viewed here: [Url]
so i was trying to lop an Internet radio player, that will connect to different shoutcast servers, and play the radio, of course in development time everything was ok, now the time came for publishing just to be surprised with this messageof course i know what to do, but the end user will most likely won't know, and also i think this is a set back for developing such stuff, i also once tried to develop a twitter widget same thing happened when trying to communicate with twitter output, to work around that i could load the xml file from twitter into a local file using php, but i see a lot of flash files that uses flickr, twitter, and other sites, so how do these widgets work without triggering the security message,

I've created a flash animation where I am getting dynamic URLs from XML.Now, I need to use clickTAG in order to track the number of clicks.
I've never used the clickTAG thing, any pointer will be really helpful for me?
One more question is that Is it possible to use clickTAG and dynamic URLs together?
am using Carousel 3, and have my images working properly, and even the application in general. What i'd like to do is embed urls in the text, however i'm finding the (") issue preventing this from happening in an element in the XML file. Initially I thought there was a way around using the quotes so that I could provide links in the text. what i'm trying to accomplish is this:
<icon image="icon1.png" tooltip="This is the Tooltip" content="This is the content and a link ((http://www.gotoandlearnflash.com)) that i'd like to make clickable for a user." />
Im using Swishmax and I can't seem to make a url open in my flash site(so it doesnt open as a pop up but in my actual flash site) So basically that it opens in a designated space that I made for it on my site. I know that a tuturial for this exists on this site but i just can't seem to find it.
View 2 RepliesI've noticed that a number of Flash sites have urls such as [URL] which gives the ability to return to a specific area (in this case "services") of the site rather than staying on the homepage each time you go back to the page. As you navigate through the site the url changes to reflect where you are in the swf.
View 3 RepliesOk this one has confused me since I touched flash and AS3.0. 90% of the time, when I am trying to access a URL, or connect to anything on the internet through AS3, it doesn't work and tells me that it can't find the URL, or w/e I am trying to access. When I upload it to a server, any server, it works fine, but testing it from within the IDE, it doesn't, maybe 10% of the time it might actually work. I don't get this? How come it can't access these external connections while trying to run it locally?
View 1 RepliesI'm currently creating a video player to play files from a different server.
We have chosen to use a token authentication system to check where the files are from. This is a one number authentication code.
We can link to the files by going to a dynamic url such as...

The server has to recieve this token when you try to connect the movie or it won't allow it.
I've tried adding it as a dynamic url but ns.play() doesn't seem to recognise it at all that way, unless I'm really missing something with the parameters.

View 2 RepliesI am stumped on a problem that I've been searching the forums for, but can't seem to find an answer to. I was hoping a Flash genius here might have an idea. I'm working on a site in which I'm having issues with a mailto button. Here's the deal. The site shows up in "two" places (although they both pull from the same .swf files) [URL] and [URL] The site is built using Actionscript 2.0 and publishes for Flash Player 6. I'm using both CS3 and CS4 (depending on what computer I'm working on) but always publish for CS3.
On the www location, the mailto button works properly and opens up an email. On the http:// location the button does NOT work, and will not open an email. These buttons can be found in the "who" section - when the user clicks on a profile it opens a new window with a headshot - which are the "buttons" in question. I've done tests on the server, nesting buttons inside multiple movie clips to re-create the scenario. And they work. And I've also changed the button to a movie clip using:
