ActionScript 3.0 :: Flash Calling On URL's From XML File?
Aug 29, 2011
I am trying to attach URL's to a button in my Flash movie for a photo gallery. Photo, description and URL's will be generated from a XML file. The action script is as follows:
var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onLoaded);
var xml:XML;
[code]....
I get no errors when testing the movie, except when clicking on the button (that should be going to the URL from the XML file), I get the following error in the Output window:
TypeError: Error #2007: Parameter url must be non-null.
at global/flash.net::navigateToURL()
at Function/<anonymous>()

I'm trying to make a flash uploader. The issue however that has me stumped the uploader doesn't seem to be calling the php file. I'm watching in httpfox and its dosen't seem to be calling any file. Yet it appears to be uploading. It never actually uploads anything but it acts normally I don't get any errors I check the logs I don't see any issues in the logs. I have an html uploader that works fine. What else is there to check?! BTW this is on a server with self assigned cert I know there are issues with that but wouldn't it complain instead of not doing anything?

I've got a flash file that reads some links from an xml config file. These links look like:
<url target="_blank" method="GET"><![CDATA[http://www.google.com]]></url>
Instead of a link, I'd like to call a javascript method that opens up a modal dialog with a list of items. I've tried the following based on some things I found, but I can't get it to work.
<url target="_self" method="GET"><![CDATA[javascript:loadAsModal(#modaldiv, ajaxmenu.jsp?gid=3)]]></url>
and
<url target="_self" method="GET"><script type="text/javascript"><![CDATA[loadAsModal(#modaldiv, ajaxmenu.jsp?gid=3)]]></script></url>
loadAsModal() takes in an empty div that i put on the page, and then the menu.jsp which builds the menu given the group id. I made sure to import all of my js libraries on the page.

We're making a viral video which is going to be distributed as FLV movie file free for download and redistribution.
I don't know much about flash yet but I can imagine FLV is just some sort of special flash application which can also include arbitrary code.
Is it possible to track how many times that movie file has been played by letting the FLV file perform a server-callback when playback begins?

I have been searching forums and tutorials for 3 weeks now and I'm going mad! What I'm trying to do is to make a simple link in flash that is called from my xml file.I have wracked my brain for weeks trying to figure this out on my own I know that it has to do with the for loop and calling a new link for each project, that is what has me confused.

what i am trying to do is by pressing zero_btn which is an object in the library to print a number in the dynamic text box ( result_txt ) which is also an existing object in the library and on stage. my knowledge in actionscript is not much and messing with .as files is totally new to me! then thing is that this code when i locate into to .fla file works fine. there is no error with the code i posted, but am sure something is missing ... like calling the constructor of the .as file.In the library the name of it is Zero_btn and the instance name of this object is zero_btn and it is a button.[code]

I am trying to make a website that you can press a link in flash that opens up a external swf file within the same area but in a overlay effect... similar to lightbox image viewer.
I have linked in already with the requestURL function but that just opens in a browser window.

I'm trying to drop in a quick mp3 player into a site that creates a playlist from an XML (to the folks at ClickPopMedia for the basics of the code). It works fine in the Flash testing environment, but when I put it online, or even on my local testing server, the playlist doesn't load ,just an empty space where the List component should be. I get this error in the debugger in the Flash environment even thought it works (C:htdocs is my localhost):Quote:Error #2044: Unhandled ioError:. text=Error #2032: Stream Error.URL:file:///music.xmlat Mp3Main()[C:htdocsTrafficEntertainmentTE_sitephpsitemus icPlayerMp3Main.as:26]I'm assuming it's some sort of pathname or URLRequest issue but Every file involved is in the same folder for now. Do I need to do something different because it streams?The AS (only a portion):
ActionScript Code:
package {
import flash.events.*;

I am struggling with what seems to be a simple problem. Searched and can't find the answer, it seems. I have an FLA I said I'd edit for a friend... just a few simple text edits. However, when I go to publish the movie, it makes a call to an external "State Manager" that it can't find, so the movie loops endlessly. Here is the actionscript: Code: Select allimport com.exanimo.managers.StateManager;
So I'm guessing it's looking find that at that domain. I guess that's the doing of the original programmer. However, I have noticed that there is a StateManager.js file on the webserver in the same directory where the SWF resides. Have I received an old FLA that pointed externally instead of to the local js manager? How can I change the syntax so that it finds the state manager locally?

I've calling file names from an XML document, for example: <file>thisGraphicab.swf</file> Then when I call the graphic, the graphic with the matching file name does not exist, but similar named files do exist. For example: thisGraphicab does not exist but thisGraphicbb does exist. Flash will load the thisGraphicbb.swf file in place of the file actually called.
Is there a way to remedy this? I want flash to fail when the file requested does not exist. When you type the name graphics/thisGraphicab.swf into the browser address bar, the file name is changed by the browser to be thisGraphicbb.swf, and it displays, but here again I need it to fail when something like this happens. I know this seems odd, but there's more to it in the end. Anyway, this is what I need to take care of now.

I have been asking a fair number of questions here recently and have been very pleased with the responses, so here is one more for you. Hopefully I can get another solution. :]
I have a flash project acting like a menu and being published as an .exe (projector). In this file, I have a button with the following code:button1.onRelease=function(){fscommand("exec", "openfiles.bat");}
I have an fscommand folder (in the same directory as my flash file) which contains the openfiles.bat, with one line: start myfile.txt
myfile.txt is also located in the fscommand folder. When I simply click on this batch file and run it, the text file opens as it should. However, when I click the button in my flash file, a command prompt window flashes too quickly to see with some sort of error message. It says something about not finding a certain directory and defaulting to the windows directory. I'm assuming it cannot find either my batch file or my text file. I am under the impression that as long as everything is in the fscommand folder it should work properly.

I have a main Flash file that loads up other SWF files using Loader objects. I want to be able to call methods of this main object from within the loaded SWF files. For instance, I want the loaded file to be able to add an event listener to the stage of the main file. I've found this example:
[URL]
Which appears to do what I want, but I can't figure out how to implement it in my setup.
My 'main file' that loads up other SWF's is called 'main.swf' and has a document class Main.
My loaded file is called start.swf, and has a document class "Start".
[Code]....
How can I reach the stage from a loaded SWF? Or at least, how can I call a function in my Main Class from the loaded start.swf file so I can move the functionality I need to the main.swf file?

How do I call a private function from an external ActionScript3 document? I'm working in Flash Builder 4, and I need to call a private function from an external AS3 document. I think I've imported it correctly....
import myapp.utils.WebcamFaceDetector;
import myapp.utils.FaceDetector;
But I want to call a function from "FaceDetector". Here's the part of the code in FaceDetector...
public class FaceDetector
{
private var detector :ObjectDetector;
private var options :ObjectDetectorOptions;
[Code]....
I want to call "private function FaceDetector()" to initiate at a certain point in another AS3 file. How do I properly declare it and get it to run?

I've inherited an application and am fixing a bug. There is a refresh button in a the application's mxml file and it has a click="refresh(null)". This works.
However we also want to do a refresh every five minutes automatically using a timer. There is code in an .as file (that is sourced' into the above mxml file) that uses a Timer and calls refresh(null) from within the .as file, but this doesn't seem to do anything.
Is this the right way to do this? Or do we need to explicitly reference the object we want to refresh? If so, how do we do that?
foo.mxml:
<mx:Application ...>
<mx:Script source="funcs.as"/>
