I have a SWF on another server, it loads the first SWF. Here's my basic code:
Security.allowDomain("my.central.server.com");var loader:Loader=new Loader(); // used to load external SWF.var mcExternal:MovieClip; // used to store the loaded SWF.loader.load(new URLRequest("http://my.central.server.com/data/FSC_Test_Automation/called.swf"));loader.conte

I'm using an AdvancedDataGrid to display hierarchical data. The DataProvider is an object and the children field is an ArrayCollection of objects. When I update one of the objects in the ArrayCollection I'd like the grid to refresh.
After researching, I do understand that this won't happen automatically. Not even if I use itemUpdated() and then refresh the AC. Not even if I call executeBindings(recursive).
I know that to be smart I should've used ObjectProxy all along as this would solve all my problems. My issue now is how do I go about fixing this without totally revamping my Hierarchical Data objects?
I tried having my Value Objects extend ObjectProxy but that didn't do the trick. Is there an elegant solution? Can typed objects even take advantage of ObjectProxy class? [code]...
The title describes the problem: Loader.load() is firing the INIT event, but in my listener it's reporting loader.content as null. The description for INIT event is "Dispatched by the associated LoaderInfo object when the properties and methods of the loaded SWF file are accessible."I'm loading a lot of JPG images, and 95 percent of the time it works fine; the init listener fires and reports valid loader. content.I absolutely need loader.content available because I need to set the bitmap smoothing property to true.I've tried using Event.COMPLETE and it has the exact same problematic behavior.
View 13 RepliesI'm have made some buttons (movie clip) and when I click on it, I want a file (home.swf) to load in a loader (mx.contents.loader) and I want the other buttons to do the same, all load into the same loader. I have no Idea how to do that. The way I have it set up now, the home.swf will load over the entire screen and that is not what I want. I just want the content to load into the loader and have its content change once I click on the other buttons. Here is a copy and past of that I have at the moment, I'm using Flash 8 to do it all.

View 1 RepliesI have BitmapData (in short 'bmp') which I use to compare pixels between two, same pictures. When I find my thing, then I load next picture into BitmapData and compare again but here is my problem. Loading picture into bmp only works when I click button which lead to function like that:

private function dodaj():void{
bmp = new BitmapData(imedz2.width,imedz2.height);
bmp.draw(imedz2)

I set up empty movie clip containers to hold my external .swf files when i load them in. I have 9 different external files that all load correctly. My issue is that when people view my website and cache the files after dynamically loading them, my changes that i make and upload dont take effect because their computers just pull the cached files from the last time they viewed it. This is critical for my site to work because of the amount of text updating and news that i do on it.
View 13 RepliesI've got these dynamic text fields that have their autosize and multiline set to true. I assign a width when I create the textfields, but that doesn't seem to have an effect. Using an interval, i cycle through an array that provides strings to populate the text fields.
The textfields seem to take the width of the first strings that populate them, and then stay that size, regardless of the amount of text in each new string.[code]...
Is it possible to make text content for a site in Flash be changed/updated by
someone without having to take the route of Flash? Like I have a text file in notepad, or Word and the text will automatically appear in the swf file?
I have two classes (shown below, after the problem description).The first class , InteractiveStrategy, is the main class definition. In there I declare and instantiate a variable download of DataTxRx class. Once the data download is COMPLETE, I trace the length of the property questions.The second class, DataTxRx has a method DownloadData() , and a property questions of Array type. In the constructor, I am calling the DownloadData() method. The property questions is(MUST be) updated whenever the DownloadData method is called.The problem is that the property is updated only once, at progran start up. Subsquent executions of the DownloadData() are not updating the property. How can I get around this problem?

On the website will be a downloadable file with a password.Since the beginning of the promotion there will be single letters added each hour. Probably only one visible at the time.Since this action takes place during weekend and i don't want to spend it in front of a computer updating the letters manually each hour i was wondering if there is a script which will do it for me.There is a restriction though - the whole password cannot be included in the swf file (obvious security reasons).
View 1 RepliesThere's an annoying bug in AIR (or in the TextArea component itself but showing up only in AIR) because of which, if you do:
my_textarea.htmlText=someLongText;
my_textarea.textField.scrollV=someValue;
the second instruction just does not work, and the textarea scrolls to the beginning (as a consequence of the first assignment). Has anyone else run into this and have you come up with any workaround?
This only happens in AIR, not FP, and only with TextArea, not with a plain input text.
I have a main "shell" swf which, by clicking several buttons, will load/unload various external swfs into a Placeholder_mc which resides on the main timeline in Shell.swf In the documentation and tutorials I've seen a couple different methods, and I'm not sure I quite understand the difference, or at least the reason you would use one over the other...In the 1st method, you can just add the Loader object using the addChild() method:
Code:
var myLoader:Loader = new Loader();
var myURLRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("ExternalFileA.swf");
myLoader.load(myURLRequest);
Placeholder_mc.addChild(myLoader);
This will apparently add myLoader to the display list once it has completely loaded.The 2nd method, you supposedly can add the Loader.content; however, it appears you can only do this once the content has completed loading, so you need to incorporate an event handler with the contentLoaderInfo object:
Code:
var myLoader:Loader = new Loader();
var myURLRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("ExternalFileA.swf");
myLoader.load(myURLRequest);

What are the pros/cons of adding the entire Loader object, as opposed to the Loader.content and vice versa?
So I have this Photo class than handles loading a pic, and dispatches an event when the loading is done with:[code]which is simple and works, but now I'd like to make something more advanced. I'd like to dispatch the load ratio.So far I have extended the Event class, with my own EventRatio class, and I can put properties on that class. Which is cool, but I need something more dynamic than just sending a fixed value.So, what is the best way to connect the Loader object of the Photo object, with the EventRatio object?
View 5 RepliesWhen you make a shape object and add it to the stage i goes fine, but often when you then change the shape object, like adding another line to it, it won't show the changed version. You can for example have this:
ActionScript Code:
var line:Shape = new Shape;
line.graphics.lineStyle=(1,0xFFFFFF,0.5)
line.graphics.moveTo(10,10)

I've run into something I find very, very odd. Bordering on bug-level odd, even.I load a gif file with a Loader. No fuss there.I then attempt to instantiate two different bitmaps with the loaded content:
image = Bitmap(loader.content);
image2 = Bitmap(loader.content);
I then place them apart on the stage so I can see them both:
image.x = 50;
image2.x = 200;
Finally I add the bitmaps to the stage:
addChild(image);
addChild(image2);
But only one of them turns up - depending on the order in which I assign the x-values. The bitmap I assign to first, is the one that renders on the stage.I should have two distinct bitmaps after the first two lines.When I examine the values, it's as if there's only one object on the stage, yet debugging info suggests that there are in fact two objects, both referencing the same bit of memory for the image.
trace(image.x);trace(image2.x);trace(stage.numChildren);
These traces yield: 2002001
How do I force it to make an actual copy of the content, not just the memory reference I think is going on here? I'd really prefer not to load the gif file for every new instance.
Given the following xml:
<form>
<personalDetails>
<name>John</name>

Is it possible to create a variable that references a loader content ? For instance, in the example below, is it possible of having something like:
var LoaderContent:SOMETYPE = new SOMETYPE();

And then using LoaderContent variable instead ? What type of variable should it be ?
var container:Sprite = new Sprite();
addChild(container);
var pictLdr:Loader = new Loader();[code]........
I have an XML-file which holds some info about picture and text.A designer have made some mc's and I have to load the pictures (which has URL from XML) into this mc-animation. I can only load the images into the loader and then I cant get the image from the loader in memory into the animated timeline mc. how this is done? I have tried addChild but this doesnt help me attach the loaded picture to the anim_mc. or...?The designer also have a textlayer, which is put in a mc and then animated. And the text from XML must go into the textfield and be animated.
View 5 RepliesI have a flash file for a website section. I inserted a Loader component component to load a .swf file, and set the "scaleContent" property (in the Component Inspector) to True, but the .swf loads tiny, like a thumbnail. I also set the minimum dimensions (400x300), but this seems to have zero effect. I also have the size of the loader component set to 424x350. I have played with both sets of these numbers to no effect.
Here is where I've uploaded the file for testing: [URL] If you click any 1 of the 4 images, it will load 1 of 4 .swf files within (but very small).
Furthermore...the size of the embedded videos is not always consistent. Sometimes, after re-uploading the main file, Some of the 4 videos will be correctly sized, but if visited more than once, they return to being small. Very weird.
P.S. I have attached a screen capture of the Flash program, showing the component inspector and properties.
