ActionScript 3.0 :: Flash Opening And Reading Data From A Text File?

Dec 20, 2011

...Anyway. Since college happened, I'm used to C++ storing data in .txt files and reading in from there. I'm trying to make a monopoly remake for something to do while Christmas comes, and I wanted to store all the card information somewhere. I thought of storing it in some sort of "Information Class" or perhaps just a text file.

how does AS3 read from text files?

Data Integration :: Multiline Text Box Reading From Xml File?

May 20, 2009

i have a text area, set to multiline.  For some reason, when my text imported from xml shows up in the box, it starts several lines down into the box.  So for example, my Text box is positioned with the top at the midpoint of my stage, but the text starts about 3/4 down the page, about half way down the text box.  Can someone please tell me why this is happening and what I can do to fix it?
 
I noticed that when I put my cursor in the box and move it up and down, the rest of the text 'scrolls' into the frame, but otherwise it's cut off.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Flash File Reading An External Text File For The Content?

May 16, 2005

I turn to you for help, dear sweet Kirupa Forumites. First, let me explain the problem: I have a flash file reading an external text file for the content. Everything works perfectly for nearly everyone - you click a menu button, and the content text comes up fine. However, a couple of people have found that the text shows up as "undefined". I have checked the player versions of the people where it doesn't work, and it is the same as for those where it does work, so that ain't the problem.

I don't understand why it works perfectly for nearly everyone, but a small number of people have this "undefined" text problem. It seems to be a problem with loading the external text file, but I don't know why. I have a main flash movie, and load the text in the first frame, using the following:

var my_content = new LoadVars();
my_content.load("content.txt");
my_content.onLoad = function(success){
if (success){

[Code]...

I then have a couple of dynamic text boxes in the main movie - one called ErrorText (for displaying an error message to the user) and one called ContentText (for displaying the content). I use an external menu swf which jumps to a specific frame in the main movie, depending on which button is clicked. Actionscript on the main movie frame for the first button does the following, with the other frames similarly configured:

ContentText.htmlText = my_content.content1;
stop();

My external text file is properly configured (content1=blah blah&content2=other blah blah) etc.

Does anyone have any advice on how I can solve this particular weird problem??

ActionScript 3.0 :: Saving Data To Text File - Appending Data In Text File - Importing Data From Text File

Aug 23, 2011

How can I save data to a text file and also append a record to data in an existing text file? I've used Authowrware previously and it was quite easy to create a large string of data (a comma separated list) and export that to a text file (and create the text file if it didn't already exist). I could then easily append additional rows of data (records) to the text file. We want to build a questionnaire that will store the data locally on the computer in a text file. Each record may have a few hundred data points in a comma separated list.

Data Integration :: Sending Data In Flash To External Text File

I will be creating a program to use for data entry. I'll be studying zebras in kenya and I won't have the internet there as I'm recording the data. I'd like to be able to send the data I generate in flash to an external text file. I understand I need some sort of script to do that, but is this something I can run just on my machine? (I'll probably make the data into xml format).

ActionScript 3.0 :: Reading Text File With Multiple Variables?

Dec 29, 2010

When I open a text document containing 1 string of a Base64 Encoded Image, it works fine:

ActionScript Code:
import flash.display.Loader;
import flash.utils.ByteArray;

[code]...

The image displays and that's great, but I need to display multiple images; therefore, I used the standard format: var1=value1&var2=value2&... (In reality, the values are the huge base64 strings.) Then I just needed to add "my_loader.dataFormat = URLLoaderDataFormat.VARIABLES;" since the format of my source changed. The thing that bugs me is that I'm tracing the imgB64Str after I set it and it traces fine (just like the other version).

ActionScript Code:
import flash.display.Loader;
import flash.utils.ByteArray;

[code]...

It runs with no errors, but the image no longer displays.

ActionScript 2.0 :: OnLoad Function - Reading Text File

Feb 16, 2008

Code:

my_wordlist="";
} my_text.onLoad=function(success) {

my_wordlist=(this.var_wordlist).split(" ");
trace(my_wordlist)
}}

The trace doesn't showup at all....by the way, this is in the first frame of the timeline, and i am trying to load a wordlist and then use the words in my program separately. Is it because flash loads the text file slowly? I am using flash 8, AS2.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Reading XML Data Generated By PHP In Flash?

Sep 9, 2009

I have a normal XML file which i chucked together that works fine with the code i have below - this is obviously saved as an xml file as well. What I'm trying to do is generate an XML page using PHP. I have done so, works fine and reads as it should correctly when simply viewing the page in a browser, but when i try and read out the data in flash (loading in a php file instead of an xml file, everything is undefined!! Below is the flash code, which works when the load() link is changed to a straightforward xml file...

Code:

newsPageContent_txt.html = true;
var test_xml = new XML();
test_xml.ignoreWhite = true;

[code]....

the header at the top of this PHP is generating the page as xml, so it should all be valid.

Php :: Reading RAW Data From A Flash POST Request ( Images )?

Dec 8, 2009

I'm basically interacting with a third party API flash file to send HTTP POST requests to my server. know I'm on somewhat the right path because it requires a crossdomain.xml file, and before I added that part nothing in the POST variables was showing up, however since I added that file there are 4 variables that are set, these POST variables are sent by the application to give me basic information about the file.. but I actually need to read the RAW POST data to actually save the image being sent by the Flash.I'm aware there are 3 ways...$GLOBALS['HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA'] $HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA which is probably the same as the firstfile_get_contents('php://input')For whatever reason, neither of these "work". By "work" I mean they're not being set, when I var dump them I get nothing.

Could it be that there's a setting in php.ini that I need to set, or perhaps the Flash application is truly not sending the actual image? I think it's doing the right thing, because it's a semi popular API and it's used by a couple other sites so I'm pretty sure it's right on their end.
