ActionScript 3.0 :: Load Text File From Different Web Site?
Nov 13, 2008
I want to load some text data from a third party web site (I guess I need to use URLLoader) but everything I'm reading says the Flash player security will prevent this because it's coming from a different domain.isn't there any way around this? How else could a Flash RSS reader work - you can't possibly get all web site sources to include a cross-domain policy file. I would have to believe there must be some way to load text from an arbitrary URL.
I am an Actionscript newbie - is this is possible,
I have a fla file which is loading external swf files from my local folders.I inserted some of the swf files to a web site and tried to load them from the site, not from my local folder...So it gave me a security error like below:
*** Gvenlik Sanal Alan °hlali ***security domain-area violation http://www.celiktek.com.tr/KIRIL.swf' SecurityDomain esi -- security domain element, 'file:///C|/Users/Acer/AppData/Local/Temp/Untitled%2D1.swf' uyumsuz baÄŸlamına erieye
I have made revisions to my SWF file and only part of the SWF loads. I have included the path for the .FLA
[URL]
I have checked and rechecked the AC_RunActiveContent.js (attempted to update and that failed)
I get this error when I attempt to Run command to update the AC_RunActiveContent.js "At line 5 of file "AC_RunActiveContent.js": ReferenceError: navigator is not defined".
I am looking to dead center my site: [URL] which 1400 x 700. I am trying to get the file to load so that when someone with a 1240 or less res links to the site it loads the with the horizontal scroll bar in the center of the page.
Im trying to get my Swf File to Load My Flash Mini Button Site this is mY code...fscommand("SHELLOPEN" , "C://WINDOWS.DESKTOP + New Site.exe" Maybe it wont load because Im putting it on the frame I have no idea what i must do to get this to work!
used external XML files with text for my sites but now i have a special request that i can't make with the code i used till now.i want to have an external xml textfile with ALL the text form my site in it spearated with different tags. exaple:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><text> <home> <headline>This is headline</headline> <body>this is the body of the text for the HOME page</body> <footer>this is footer</footer> </home>
I have build a flash form that uses php to save variables to a web folder on my site in a text file. There is a .swf file with dynamic txt fields in the same folder it which pulls the data from the txt file. It doesnt seem to pull it as real time as I would like. sometime just once and not after that.When I update the form the text file saves to the web folder ok, but I have to refresh the link to pull the data in or empty browsing history etc.is there a way around anyone can think of so everytime I update the flash form the data come in straight away or after a few seconds.
I have a rotaing menu that loads in images from an xml file, I would also like it to load in text info from the same xml file to the left side of the images that load in. In my main .fla have created a movieclip and called it 'textInfo' and inside that I have two dynamic text fields called 'headerText' and 'bodyText' where I want to load the text in. this is what I am using to loading in the text in my actionscript, is this correct?
I have the folowing codo to load text from a text file into a text field in my flash document:
loadVarsText = new loadVars(); loadVarsText.load("homePage.txt"); loadVarsText.onLoad = function(success) {
[Code]....
the same, and I want to make the homePage.txt file load when the flash file starts, that is what it does right now by placing the code on the main timeline.
i have banner with 5 images fad in fade out effecti need to load images & test from external file " text file or xml file " with keeping fade effects on imagesall ways i know can't keep fading effect on images so
i want to load variable from text file to my main movie (swf file).what should i put in the second parameter of the function loadVariables ("target" parameter) - should i insert _this? _parent? _global? (nothing works.
I'm using Flash 8 and I'm trying to load new text into a dynamic text box already populated by a xml file.
I have a home page with 5 different buttons on the top menu.
1. Home 2. News 3. Tips and a few more.
Upon my home page loading, I have a dynamic text box with the welcome text which is populated by my xml file, here is my code for AS2:
function loadXML(loaded) { if (loaded) { _root.home = this.firstChild.childNodes[0].childNodes[0]; _root.tips = this.firstChild.childNodes[1].childNodes[0];
[Code].....
What I want to do is load the news and tips text into the same dynamic text box on the home page when the news or tips button is clicked, so I don't have to load a whole new swf for each category thus making the site faster.
What code would I have to use to clear the text from the xml file and how would I load my new text upon clicking the button?
I cant load and external text file into my dynamic text box...when i trace the loaded var it can be found, but when it's loaded inside the text box, the value that appears is really strange.i tried to load the vars into the MC and on a level, the result is the same, it can be traced but does not appear correctly on the textbox..the code i used is here..i made a text box with about_us instance name, loaded the variables and tried to load my text inside it by setting the text property of the textbox but as u will see...
I can load the text from a text file till later in my movie. i have 8 different areas of information but there is no text shown in the last two even though the actionscript is identical. the link is [URL] i can add the fla this is the gist of the actionscript given to me:
am setting up a webpage with Flash MX. On the homepage I have a dynamic text box with links to the left (currently the links are just typed words). We want it to setup so that when a user clicks a link (such as "HOME") it will access text from a .txt file and load it into the dynamic text box. We want all of the links ("HOME", "PERSONNEL", "RECRUITS", "CONTACT US") to load their text from a seperate .txt file into that same dynamic text box.
I just want to load a .swf file withing my current .swf file as per the value the external text file.I have done few experiments too.
1) I have writter below code on the first frame of my movie. here "myMC" is my target movie clip inside which i want to load another swf file. load Variables("myData.txt", "_root.myMC");
2) the code of my external text file is as below sm=one.swf;Now my doubt is where and how i should write the loadmovie command to load my swf file.
I have an ASP.Net handler which returns to me all the file name of the images present in a folder in the server. Note that I'm an ASP programmer, not a Flash developper. It'll return something like that:
1.jpg|2.jpg|3.jpg|4.jpg
It's the same as if it was written in a .txt file, there's only text in the "webpage" source. The | is the separator in which I'll use a method to return a [] of string. However, the problem is how do I access it.
i followed the tutorial and got some other advice. I can load the text from a text file till later in my movie. i have 8 different areas of information but there is no text shown in the last two even though the actionscript is identical. the link is [URL].. i can add the fla this is the gist of the actionscript given to me:
I'm pretty new/bad at actionscript (3) for web. I have a site up for a client/friend [URL], but it takes FOREVER to load. I'm under the impression that a good way to make the site load faster is to load in swf's externally. Right now, the site, in its entirety, is one big movieclip. I have large images (movieclips) for background images. If you look at the site and are kind enough to wait for it to load (aprox. 45 seconds or so) you will notice how the background image changes when you click to go to each section.
I am trying to find a way to load in the background as external .swf's to cut down on the initial load time. I'm also open to any other ideas. Below is the as3 code for my buttons/how they direct the site. I'm hoping to use a similar/generic style to load the background images. I'm hoping to load the movieclips underneath the rest of the site, and use the same naming scheme (e.g. homeBTN.swf) to keep it organized.
I make simple site but I have a little trouble with loading images. As you can see with new category there is new image. There is a problem, beacause only then img is loading, and I want to load all images when my site is loading. sample code how I operate with those img.
imgUrls.push("img/01.jpg"); imgUrls.push("img/02.jpg"); var k3:Boolean=false;
I'm trying to load a text file and I've run into a wall. So far, I've loaded swf files, image files and XML files without problems. But the text files just don't seem to load. It's not a tough situation. The files are in the same directory as the application. When I run it, I see no sign that the file has loaded, but haven't found the error trapping to tell me what is (not) going on.
The code below was culled from examples on the web, they seem fairly consistent, and they are copied pretty much exactly. and I put them both into a single action to test them. Any clues as to what is not happening? I need to read an old txt data file that was used with AS2, with pairs of names and variables. The first example just reads a couple of variables. The second just reads some random text. I'm just trying to see what works here, so I can incorporate working code into the real program.
I have a dynamic textbox 300x500 in fla i use it to load text from as file (coding in AS3) how to load text and add scrollbar dynamically(appear or disappear) according to the loaded text()
i am using loadvars to load a quite big text from a txt file.The problem comes when i trace the same string variable. It shows that JUST PART of the text was loaded.
I want to load information from a Text file and then want to use in action script as a variable.What I did. I make a file with the name Text.txt and write there TextFld=You are Good Boy In flash I make a getText.fla in which i build a Text box at stage and set it to dynamic and the name of this variable is also TextFld Instance Name is Txt. Write the following code at main timeline
loadVariables("Text.txt",_root);
pretty fine it shows this information in flash but i want to use this variable in action script to do more action i.e i want to make flashy text. I want to store this information in a variable and then use that variable for other purpose.
i have a flash file where i have created a text it is dynamic .i would need to get evry 10 seconds an update on this text from a file called update.txt
