ActionScript 2.0 :: Way To Periodically Dump Cache
Feb 26, 2007
I am using the following code to Pause, Fade-in & Play a streaming Mp3 from an external site:[code]The problem is that this file is never-ending and ultimately slows the computer WAY down. I'm assuming this has to do with the cache filling up with the never-ending Mp3 file.Does anyone know a way to periodically dump the Cache or... limit the amount of the file loaded into the Cache? Say 3-5 SecondsI am assuming a "DO NOT CACHE" code won't work as the Mp3 is streaming and requires a certain amount for uninterrupted play.

I'm using a flash rotating banner in my website which takes images and descriptions from an XML file.
I do changes to my XML very often... but in my local machine, the banner takes a day or two to get updated.
Although I can clear my local machine's cache, the problem still remains for other users who visit my web page..
is there a programmatic way in flash or in html to overcome this problem ? Maybe a server configuration?
PS: below code works fine, but it clears out the cache completely... i need to clear XMl cache after a specific time period..
var timestamp:Date = new Date();
xmlData.load("/flash/images.xml?cachebuster=" + timestamp.getTime());

Do FMS cores share the same FLV cache or does each core have it's own cache?

Well this is strange:
ActionScript Code:
var myObject:Object = {firstName:"Alf", age:34, city:"Oslo"};
for (var prop in myObject) {
trace("myObject."+prop+" = "+myObject[prop]);
}
This will output all the properties of the object, but if I make my own class object it doesnt work at all! Simple.as:

I am building a dynamic menu system with XML. Back in AS2 I would make a movieclip, then attachmovie and duplicate the attached movie. When I did this I could always over write the old data. Now in AS3, it seems to be overlaying or "stacking" on top of one another. So my question is, is there a way to overwite the addChild, or a way to dump the contents of a movieClip so I prepare it for another attachment? Here's a sample of the code I am using.

I tried to search the forum for this problem but my browser every time got too busy to load the search results, so i thought I'll ask it in a new thread.I've made a Chat in Flash CS4 with AS3 - PHP - MySQL.I set a timer to check if there are new entries in the database once in every second. This way the chat window is refreshed every second. Works fine.But I think, if (let's say) 100 people are chatting, the server is bombed by 200 queries (1 for the message and 1 to find who sent it by userid) a second.Is there a way to periodically check the database if there are new entries without making queries? So Flash will ask for new data only if there IS new data available.

I want to make a small application that reads an RSS feed.However, this will be part of an installation, thus this is supposed to run "forever". Do you think there is another way than using the Timer class, that would check for new posts on the feed every 15 minutes for example? Do you think this will be a reliable and safe approach?[and an extra questionFor that purpose, is it worth to make an AIR app, or just an executable from the flash player? Do I have some pros/cons regarding memory, resources, etc when using AIR?

I'm using Flash CS4 and Actionscript 2 and would like to know if it's possible to call an external script (php script) or take some kind of action (like update a database, write to a file etc) at regular intervals while a video is playing?
1. Is video playing?
2. If yes and time is more than 5 mins (or some inteval) then call a script
3. Sleep and repeat from step 1

I have a swf that connects to Flash Media Server. What I am looking to do, is display the connection status via a green (connected) or red (not connected) icon. I need it to check frequently and update the icon according to the connection status.
I have the following code but it does not work. I have a connect/disconnect button which starts/stops my connection to FMS. That works, but when I unplug my internet connection (thereby making it impossible to be connected to FMS), it still says it is.
Code:
function checkConn()
{
if (nc.connected)

I will be trying to obtain data from a periodically updated xml file. As far as I know, this file will simply continue to have data added to it indefinatly. Is there a way to load only the newly added data to the xml object? As opposed to loading the entire xml file each time I want to update my flash movie with new data added to the xml file?

I run through the process of making code for a whole scene without compiling periodically I overlook where a child is added to and try to remove it from somewhere else. However, I dont believe this to be the case on this occasion. I have only two funcytion that deal with the addition and removeal of the children of the mc that is throwing me errors. If I add the simple:Code: Select allif (holder.contains(thisChild)) {It stops the error but doesn't fix my actual problem...
Code: Select alloverride public function unLoad():void {
for (var i:int = 0; i < currentDeck.length; i++) {
currentDeck[i].removeEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clicked);

Here's my situation: I'm working on an AS3-based game and I'd like to have a "Report a problem!" function within the game so that users can submit feedback to me.
When my user reports a problem, I'd like to get as much information as I can about the state of their game; basically what objects are in memory, what the values are of all those variables inside all those objects; essentially the same information I can get when I hit a breakpoint in the debugger.
Is there a simple way of doing this? I'm afraid that I'll spend several days trying to write a bunch of functions that gets all this information for me, only to have somebody tell me afterwards, "Oh, why didn't you just call ASUtils.getSnapshot()"?

This is my first post here in StackOverFlow, and I bring you a problem that is hauting my development team.
We are in a project, using stand alone FlashPlayer as a news displayer.The news feed is a dynamic XML returned from a ASP.Net request and runs on Windows XP.
The problem is:- The display is running in a bus screen and sometimes the internet connection fails, but we still need to keep displaying images from the news already downloaded. When we manually put a string on a URLRequest it works. The image is downloaded from the server, cached by the IE8, and re-loaded from cache if the internet is gone. But, when we dynamic retrieve the image url from de XML and puts inside de the URLRequest method, the re-load from cache do not work.[code]...

We have a web app. built in flash that allows customers to upload images and text, customize the container in which these will be shown (a swf file) and then embed the code into thier website. There is also a sharing options that allows their users to display this container, together with the content, on their websites. (For e.g you can see the container as the Youtube player and the content as the videos the user chooses to show). The swf container uses an XML file to know what to display.
Now, I am not a flash developer, but a person who takes care of the project.We are currently working on the app and the swf and we still find bugs. Every time we fix sth, I am told to erase my cache to see the changes. My concern is that the client/users might not see the newer version that we make available, but the old one. We can't tell them to erase the cache and we can't afford to renounce using the cache since the images are big.I was told that, sometimes, the browser does not see that the current version is a new one and loads it from the cache (actually, it never detected that there is a newer version and I always had to erase the cache). How can we tell the browser "now, load the swf from cache" or "now, don't load the swf from cache".

I'm working on a project that includes several flash elements developed using an XML method. The objects work fine in all browsers except IE. Here is the behavior in IE. You can interact with the objects fine the first time through, but if you leave the page and come back, you just get a perpetual loading symbol. You can get the object back by right clicking and pressing play, but that is an obnoxious work around. I think it is a caching error in IE, but I'm unsure how to fix it given that it is not occurring in other browsers.

I've made a program using AS3, AIR and php to look up a remote dir, and download mp3 file to a folder on my local machine.It works fine.However, even if I delete the downloaded mp3s from the folder on my local machine, and run a test, the program seems to 'instantly' populate the folder with the mp3s again, as if it's getting them from some windows temp folder, and not bothering to re-download them.I was wondering if the above is the case, and if so, if there's a way to force it to download the file even if it resides in a temp folder somewhere?[code]

The flashbox I've created is a dynamic object - like a coverflow - that loads 8 images (4 channels with a background and forefront image) on its first load and then every 5 seconds loads up another channel to replace one of the other channels. There are 8 channels & 16 images in all and the whole process loops. The images and the data incidentally are loaded via an XML file. Instead of loading the 16 images from the start and then loading them from the cache, it instead constantly loads new images, keeping the older images in the browser memory. If you leave it on the page with the flashbox for 30 minutes, then the browser memory can rise above and beyond the 500MBs of RAM usage mark. Leave it longer and it still racks up - for instance, I had Firefox (this is with all browsers though) get to over 2.5GBs of memory being used earlier on today.

I have built a flex application which has a "main" project and it is assosciated with a few RSL's which are loaded and cached once i run my "main" application. The problem i am facing is that the newer versions of my RSL's are not being loaded as the cache holds the older version of my RSL and execxutes the same. Each time i have got to clear the cache to execute the new version of my RSL's, which is irritating.

i have a flash app that requests xml generated by a php script. The data doesn't change much, and i would like flash to cache the xml instead of loading it every time. I've been checking my access logs, and every single time i reload a page with the flash app on it, the php file is accessed and the xml downloaded.
I've read that flash doesn't control what is cached, as it just requests something from the browser, but nothing else that flash downloads (i.e. mp3 files that are supplied by the xml) doesn't get cached. So I'm not really sure what that means.
I've googled the heck out of this, but everything i find is telling me how to keep flash from caching stuff.
Here's the code i used (AS3):

I have a website that is currently all flash-based. Unfortunately if you return to that website, it won't change a thing until you delete your temporary internet files, being that it is flash. So for every update, I have a new .swf file ie: 2801091.swf and this works perfectly fine. However when you enter the calendar, it loads the .xml file but it's always what's been cached.
1) Everything about the flash file can be revised if it's the newest version so dated .swf files aren't created every time there's an update?
2) A way to clear the .xml cache or refresh it every time the calendar is opened?

Code: Select allvar netConn:NetConnection = new NetConnection(); // Create a NetConnection object
netConn.connect(null); // Create a local streaming connection

xmlData = new XML();
xmlData.ignoreWhite = true;
xmlData.onLoad = loadXML;

I'm having this strange problem with the progress bar in the gallery section of my site. I made the site on flash.Go to the English section and click any image. you'll see the progress bar not working but wait a bit untill the gallery loads. There's no close button but if move your mouse pointer to the up right corner it's there, click it. Now click on the same image and you'll notice that now the progress bar and close button works fine.url.. It's weird because when i publish the site and test it on my computer it works fine. But when i upload the files to the server this happens. The preloader only works when it's in the computer cache.
