ActionScript 3.0 :: Framework - All Different Way Of Loading Data?
Jun 18, 2010
I'm developing a little framework in as3 for making my works someway faster. I'm trying to make a loader as flexible as it can be because different clients want different loading ways: XML, single swf, etc. I've used loading external data with an XML and, inside flash IDE, with the option of "export for Action Script". Now, my question is, which are all the ways of loading data in a flash app? I've been looking but i'm kinda lost, too many search results.

I'm loading a few .PNG images in via the CASA framework and all works fine except the image quality. Had these images been placed inside the .fla, I'd use the Library's "allow smoothing" checkbox.
Is there a way to do this with AS2.0 ?
Note: I tried setting .bitmapCaching & forceSmoothing properties of the mc that contains the loaded .png but no luck.

According to the Adobe asdocs, Flex framework files are supposed to be able to be loaded at runtime. These localized framework files, the ones that exist at (on windows) C:Program Files (x86)AdobeAdobe Flash Builder 4.5sdks4.5.0frameworkslocale, are responsible for items such as button text on Alert Dialogs, and a host of other controls. My expectation is that once these framework files are loaded I would see these resources available in my Flex app.
I've set up my project as follows:
MyProject
-src
-Flex4.5
-Referenced Libraries
[code]....
Now the asdocs state that in order to do this, you have to set the compiler settings to read
-locale=en_US,da_DK,de_DE,es_ES,fi_FI,fr_FR,it_IT,ja_JP,ko_KR,nb_NO,nl_NL,pt_BR,ru_RU,sv_SE,zh_CN,zh_TW -allow-source-path-overlap=true -source-path=locale/{locale}
which I have done.My Build Path Libraries for Flex 4.5 - C:Program Files (x86)AdobeAdobe Flash Builder 4.5sdks4.5.0 are set to be Runtime Shared library (of note, the {locale} subfolder says "Merged into code")
But when I change the language in the browser, I'm not seeing any of the framework resources.Also, when I build my project, I don't see any indication of the locale-oriented resource files in the bin-release. Since we only deploy the contents of the bin-release folder (and not the entire project), how is this supposed to work?I am also seeing .swz files in my bin-release (and I know these arent the localized framework resources).
Does anyone have any experience with Runtime Framework Localization?? What am I doing wrong? My expectation is that once I build my project (with the framework resources externalized) that the app would be able to load those resources, but this isn't happening and I am not interested in compiling a different version of my app for all of the locales I support.

The site appears to be loading on some machines, and not on others I can't determine a common theme. In this instance, loading = Splash screen appears, user makes language selection, main site then pre-loads. On a successful load it gets to 100% and displays the website, on a failed load it stalls at 99%.
Tests currently show:
Primary test computer (with problem)
OS: Windows 7
Browsers:Chrome 12
Internet Explorer 8
Firefox 3.6.13
Flash version: Chrome: 10,3,181,35
Internet Explorer: 10,2,159,1 and 10,3,181,34
Firefox: 10,3,181,34
On other machines, it works with Flash versions:
Chrome, Flash version: 10,33,181,35
Internet Explorer, Flash version 10,3,181,34
Since these tests, I've also tried it on a number of other Mac/PC's and haven't found any problems. Steps I have taken so far to try and troubleshoot: Cleared Flash cache and browser cache on machine where site works, and also on machine where site doesn't work. There is a file that doesn't appear to be load (this is showed in Safari on Mac) - framework_3.1.0.2710.swz - initially I thought this to be the problem, but yet the site works on some machines still without this file.

I am attempting to get data from an xml file load in flash. I followed a tutorial in a new fla and it seemed to work fine, I then tried to adapt it to my own needs which worked fine. But then when trying to implement this into my news section it doesn't seem to work. I am trying to make a news section, that displays the date and news article. This is in within a movie clip, I even tried putting it in the timeline of the scene but still nothing.
- I have 2 dynamic text boxes, date_txt and news_txt
- The xml file is named news.xml,
- both the fla and the xml are in the same folder
This is the actionscript I am using:
function loadXML(loaded) {
if (loaded) {
_root.thedate =

I have the following code:
[Code]....
In another function I have the following:
myText.htmlText = pageDetails.text;
Now, if I uncomment the above (and pull out the previous definition of pageDetails), everything works just fine. However, if I leave the comment, it throws the following error:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. at DeltaMain/Text() at DeltaMain()
Now, the file pageDetails.xml does exist in the appropriate folder with the following, essentially identical to the above comment:
<PAGE name='index'> <DETAILS>This is the home page.</DETAILS></PAGE>

I've built a custom FLV player that needs to rely on a PHP script to serve it FLV files in order to control access to those files. My player uses the FLVPlayback component.My actionscript makes a call like this to the PHP script:[code]When tested, the FLVPlayback component simply won't accept the FLV served up to it in this way. It WILL work if loading directly from the file system, so I know my actionscript works. I can load just about any other type of file into Flash this way,including JPG and SWF. FLV is the only format that doesn't work.I've added the video/x-flv MIME Type to all test servers I've tried this on, so the server should recognize the file.

I have a rather large Flex SWF and am breaking it up into separate Modules. There is some overlap between the modules and I want to put all of this into one shared RSL. The problem is that this RSL gets really large as soon as I use any Flex code because it has to include the Flex Library.Flex Builder doesn't seem to give me the option to use the Flex framework RSL in a library. Also compiling with compc and passing the runtime-shared-library-path doesn't seem to actually use the rsl.So it seems like this is something that is unsupported? Does anyone have any idea how I can do this? Is it just not possible? Is this something that is likely to be supported in the future or already supported in Gumbo?

I am trying to read XML data from a SharePoint site. The issue I am having is that the flash project works just fine when I preview the swf in flash, however when I try to view it in HTML it does not load the XML file.Now the XML file is not a simple document that can live in the same folder as the swf. I have to use a link to a web page. This is the code that I am using (sorry. had to change the web address)
Actionscript Code:
var testXML:XML = new XML();testXML.ignoreWhite = true;testXML.onLoad = function(success) if (!success) { trace("testXML did not load"); } else {

I've set up a holder flash file that checks an XML file every 30 secs, and if the content has changed loads a new movie into itself. I am getting mixed results and baffled why this is not working consistently - the XML is being read successfully, but the attributes that should be read from the XML are being returned as 'undefined' for some reason. Here is the code:
holderXML = new XML();
holderXML.ignoreWhite = true;
holderActive = false;
function loadSWF(swfNam) {

what is the best method for loading external XML (with inherent HTML) content into Flash and into the TextArea component?i have an image loader and a TextArea together on the screen. a "story" is loaded which will present a series of images (in the image loading) associated with a corresponding text (in the TextArea). a "story" has multiple image/text sections that are navigatied through with FRWD/BACK buttons. any given section can also have multiple sub-sections or "frames".
[URL]
below is my proposed sample XML structure. i want Flash to recognize how many sections and frames within sections there are in each story XML document - in order to generate a corresponding navigation structure (a tab for each section). HTML content will be immediate availble to loadinto TextArea as user move forward in sequence with nav. and images references can also be preloaded into available MC containers to be swapped into place as user navigates forward in sequence. also need to read and store attributes for each node in the XML to come up in MCs in sequence. and must also be able to parse XML in a way to place simple HTML formatted content (within XML) into the TextArea.would Arrays be used?
<story title = "Story Title">
<section num = "1" title = "Section One Title" >
<frame image = "1.jpg" caption = "caption text
here"><b>Content</b><br><br>content

I have an accordion style btn that expands and contracts base on the user's cursor.
When the btn expands it loads an external XML file. The problem I'm having is that after the btn contracts the loaded XML content is still in place. Is there a way to unload this XML content after it has loaded?

I need to load data from an xml file.The data i'm loading has basic formatting like italic, bold. The formatting is applied in the xml file and the other formatting is in a css file.I have used code from a tutorial which loads both xml and the css file. The code works fine, if I load the entire xml in my text field.If I want to load data from one of the xml node which has Italic tag then it returns a null value.

I have created a simple flash animation for my employer. I basically have a square that changes color depending on which of three buttons are clicked. This is replicated about 30 times on the page. There is also about 15 circles that have a toggle button created so that when you click on the circle, they change between two colors. As I said, a very simple application.
Now, I need to save the data so that whenever someone new opens the swf, the current color combination is displayed. My way of thinking, with my limited AS3 experience, is that each button click, in addition to changing the color of a movie clip, should also send the data to a server. Then when someone opens the application fresh, I can use the URLLoader to load the most current data.
Am I on the right track, or am I missing it completely? I think I can figure out the URLLoader, but what code would I use to create the text file or xml file?Here is a snippet of my code:
var rtmColor:ColorTransform = f13335.transform.colorTransform;
var okColor:ColorTransform = f13335.transform.colorTransform;
var usColor:ColorTransform = f13335.transform.colorTransform;
[code].....
By clicking on either the rtm_13335, ok_13335, or us_13335 buttons, they will change the f13335 movie clip to the appropriate color (blue, green, or red). The default color is green.
What I would like to do is make the movie clip red, for example, then another person opens the swf, and the movie clip is red as opposed to the default green because I saved the current state to a text or xml file.
