ActionScript 3.0 :: Loading External Data To Array (Syntax Error)
Jan 24, 2009
I'm trying to load data from an external text file into an array. I created an array and am able to load the data into an array if I explicitly say something like:
ActionScript Code:
array[0] = event.target.data.uid1_name;
I can then do a trace statement on array[0] and it will output the correct name from the file. My problem is I'm trying to iterate through the variable names in the text file in the file by using an index variable. This is the code I'm using after doing all the URLloader, URLRequest, and so forth stuff:
ActionScript Code:
for(var i = 0; i<20;i++){
fArray[i] = event.target.data.uid[i]_name;
}
This produces a syntax error. I've tried several other syntax variations but haven't been able to figure it out. Why syntax iterate the number after uid (uid1_name, uid2_name, uid3_name, etc)?

fArray

fArray = event.target.data.["uid"+i+"_name"];
fArray
= event.target.data."uid"+i+"_name";
All three of those also give me errors. For the first one the trace statement outputs "undefinded" instead of "Doug". For the second I get "syntax error. Expecting identifier before left bracket". And for the third I get "syntax error, expecting identifer before uid.":
syntax to iterate the number after uid(uid1_name, uid2_name, uid3_name, etc)?

Possible to load an array from a external data source. I.e. like from a .txt file? I tried putting this in the external text file:
mytest = new Array("dadada")
It loaded, but not as a array, just as text. I am using LoadVars.

ok, I got this doubt wich is kinda making me wonder for a while. scenario:_I've got a movieclip with a bunch of buttons inside that invoke a function and send parameters to it.no sweat so far._those buttons are named with a specific word followed by "_btn". that word is the same as the one that goes in the parameter. for example:ode:gobbledigook_btn.onRelease = function() {_root.myFunction(gobbledigook)}question:I'd like to be this work with a for loop, so I don't have to repeat the code for every button. so this is what I did:
Code:
_root.wordsList = ["bafflegab", "esculent", "kakistocracy", "palimpsest", "quincux"]
for(i=0;i<_root.wordsList.length;i++){

1.) I have the following exact code for a button in a keyframe on the timeline (not in the button itself and of course excluding the quotes)
"
on (release) {
getURL ("www.yoursite.com", "_blank");
}
"
and I get the following error when I try and preview in Flash CS3 1087 : Syntax error: extra characters found after end of program.
2.) Also, I have another layer with a "stop" action taking place at the same time that this button occurrs, however, once I have the script in the keyframe for the button, it seems to override the stop action. So, basicly, IM looking to stop the movie and get this button to, once clicked, open a web address.

A friend of mine gave me this template that she want me to edit (change color etc) but when I try to export it, it gives me this error 1084: Syntax error: expecting identifier before 21431. (13 times - on every as file it loads from) 21431 = the name of the .fla file, also there's a folder called "21431_fla" where it loads a bunch of as files from. When I choose "Go to source" on one of the errors in the compiler it opens up a file (i.e. AboutPageContents_35.as) from the 21431_fla folder - and I guess the error comes from (and I did some searching on the web regarding this) it starting with the line;
ActionScript Code: package 21431_fla As I understand it reports the error because you can not load a package that starts with a number? I haven't change any code, so I'm curious how it could work before I edited the colors? And how do I fix it so it works I post a .zip file so you guys could check it out; [URL]

The flash movie in my server (www.mydomain.com) is trying to access data from a different domain (www.otherdomain.com). I've placed the crossdomain.xml in the webroot of the otherdomain. I am getting flash error on accessing the data from otherdomain. When I tracked the HTTP request sent, it shows only one request with URL: https:[url]....
INET_E_SECURITY_PROBLEM.Its clear from this result that IE is not able to load crossdomain.xml file from otherdomain.The same application works in Mozilla Firefox and failing in IE6.

I have written a simple program to randomly generate the name of a student from my class. Other teachers have asked if they could have a copy but as you can see from the code, I have to manually enter their students' names into the array.I wonder if there is a way to enter a list of names into the array from an external file so that teacher's can enter their own students' names and change them when needed.
(here is the code for a button that generates the students names)
on (release) {
_root.student1_txt.text = "";
myStudents=["Chloey","Paul","Rachel","Kudzayi","Josiah","S arah C","Daniel C","Micahel","Daniel Ha","Daniel He","Amanda","Tammy","Zach","Sam","Sarah M","Xanthe","Charlotte","Bethany","Luke","Jessica"

Having done loads of it in the first few years of this century, I've not done much Flash in the past few years, been focused on PHP/MySQL Development. Anyway, I now need to use the data from a MySQL database offline in a Flash executable so I'm jumping back in with AS3. There are several tables involved and I can write a script to export the data to whatever format is best.
XML or CSV? Should I get it all into one file with all the data or is it possible to do the quivalent of joined queries once the data is in Flash? I don't need a full explanation at this stage,

I built a simple application to load XML data using a external XML file. However, the link I am using will have a different Presentation ID each time a user creates a presentation. So some how the presentation ID needs to be know before I actually load the XML file at least in my mind it does. Is there a way to load the URL dynamically or set my url loader up so it loads whatever ID there is?

Ok, lets see if i can explain this right. I have been trying to make a movie that loads different information from an external file each day. I name the external files according the the date that i want it to be imported (example: 200667, for today)Ive been able to make the .getYear(), .getMonth(), .getDate() work to make the date in the above formatxmlData.load(" ");<-- now when i write in the url to load the external file is there a way that i can write it so that it will update itself to the correct date so that i dont have to update it manually myself?

I've got a few container SWF's that I"m trying to load a navigation and a content area into. Very simple, nothing fancy about the code -
ActionScript Code:
var bodyLoader:Loader = new Loader();
var bodyRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("./sub/games.swf");
[Code]....
And when I run it, I get the following error:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
But the confusing thing is that I saved this from the same file that works PERFECTLY with the './sub/intro.swf' file, throwing no errors ... all I did is change the file name.

I am building a jukebox for a website, which has a genres, bands, and tracks list.These are all populated from a MySQL DB. The info is dumped into a listbox component.ll of the lists are working, but on the tracks list, i need to pull the track name,and its filepath. So that I can assign the track name to the lable property, and the filepath to the data property.My problem, is that I cannot get a multiple value array from php to flash, it keeps coming up as undefined.
PHP Code:
echo "&testArray=[["track1","filepath"] ["track2","filepath"]]";// i have not put the query in i dont think the problem is there

I am loading images and data into flash via XML. Some bits of data are missing an image or just don't have one for various reasons. When the image URL is null flash returns the message TypeError: Error #2007: Parameter url must be non-null. I have been trying to catch this error using IO error event but I am unsure if this is the the correct method for doing this as I can't seem to get it working. This is causing a problem for me because when I add the items to the stage the data doesn't match the images and what I would like to do once I am able to capture this error is push a default image into the _trackArray which i will then use to add items to the stage.

I have a bit of a problem finding the correct syntax. I have a whole lot text variables here. The myLV value is in a external text file. So myLV.nr1 from my external textfield is loaded in ovrnr1.text. This way I can easily change the value in my text document.
ovnr1.text = myLV.nr1;
ovnr2.text = myLV.nr2;
ovnr3.text = myLV.nr3;
ovnr4.text = myLV.nr4;
If I put it like this it works fine but I thought, hey, in stead of writing
150 of these I can put it in a for loop. So I tried this.
for (i=1; i<150; i++) {
ovnr[i].text = myLV.nr[i];
}
However, this does not seem to work ? And could I do it to a button too ? So instead of writing 150 button onrollovers I could also make a loop for it ?
Something like
for (i=1; i<150; i++) {
this.btn[i].onRollOver = function() {
