I'm on a project where the main SWF loads some other swf file and show them. I told my boss that AS3 need the exact path and name of the file to load it, that it can't list a folder and take everything in! I'm almost totally sure I'm right ! I'm not talking about a php script that list the folder and send variable to flash.
View 2 RepliesI AM USING AIR FOR ANDROID. I want to get all the jpg's (or Mp3's) in a folder of an external folder ... that will be stored on the users PHONE with included in the APP.
How can I do that from FLASH using Action-script 3?[code]...
I was wondering if it was possible to list all the files inside a specific folder using Flash 8 Action Script. Just that I have an image gallery that has all the image names in an array. What I would like to do instead is get the image names from the folder they are in. Is something like this possible without the use of a server side programming language like PHP since the flash file will not be on a PHP server.

View 3 RepliesI want to create a flash app where the site owner can simply put images in a folder, and the flash app finds all the images in the folder, and will display a slide show from them.
Is there any way to list all files in a folder, so I can load them without prior knowledge of their names? I'd prefer not to have to tell a dumb customer what an XML file is and how to edit it, and also the images need to keep their original names so I can get titles for the images from the names.
what I need to do is get a list of files in a folder in a Flex application from the web (i.e. all the files in a location like [URL]

View 4 RepliesI have a SWF file located at the local network in the public shared folder that I do not control over trying to read the external file on the local network.
I am currently hitting instead an security violation
Error #2148: SWF file file://....mySWF.swf cannot access local resource file://...config.xml"
I've added the network path where SWF an XML file resides to "trusted locations" via Flash Player Global Settings.
The added network path is successfully displayed at the list of "trusted locations" within Global Settings Manager, but it does not look like Flash Player is able to really parse the local network path as a "trusted location"

View 2 RepliesI'm in the final stages of designing a game for the iPhone using Flash CS5 and I'm running into a problem with it running on the iPhone. I am a registered Developer, so I'm doing this completely legit... I'm just doing it on a PC and with Flash so there are a few workarounds being done lol. I'm at a point where it runs perfectly in the simulator but not on the iPhone itself. I load up the game and the opening screen loads up where I have my PLAY button located. The problem is, it doesn't work. It doesn't click, change screens... nada. So I worked it out to be something I'm doing wrong with the way I'm using the Filesystem and my save game file. If I take out the filestream stuff and just put in hard values into all my save game variables, the game runs just fine. The PLAY button does its thing and the game is good to go, except of course that I'm stuck to just the hard set values instead of being able to do little things like change levels. So here is the code I'm using, and hopefully someone can see where I've gone wrong.

From what I've read, the fileSystem class (which I need to write a data file to disk from a projector) works in Flash CS4 as long as you have the AIR runtime (which I do), according to the documentation.
I found quite a bit of sample code, but I can't even get the package to load and all of the types and functions and classes are undefined.
Here's my code:
import flash.filesystem.*;
function writeFile():void {
var file:File = File.documentsDirectory;
[Code]....
I can't find filesystem.as in my install folders. Perhaps it's somewhere else?
Or perhaps I misunderstand the documentation and you can't use fileSystem in a flash projector with AIR?
Or is there some setting in Flash I need to adjust to work with the library and AIR?
I am creating an EDM (Electronic document Management) system which will use Flex for front-end, PHP at server side and Mysql as database.

I have made a game, and now I'm putting in a highscore-function. Like the one below, who reads the highscore-list. Everything is working fine when testing from flash, but when I start the swf-file from the folder (or test it on the iPhone), it just loops throught every frame, why is this? If I cut out the code below, it works fine on both stand-alone sfw-file and on the iPhone. I've tried to only use the first line below, to test, and it loops.
ActionScript Code:
var file2:File = File.documentsDirectory.resolvePath("highscore.txt");
// Create a file stream to write stuff to the file.
var stream2:FileStream = new FileStream();
