ActionScript 3.0 :: Loading List Of URLs From Text File
Apr 4, 2009
I got a text file in the same directory as the flash file, and I am wondering what is the problem with it loading the url. the header is live on [URL] and it doesn't want to load the urls. what would be required to get it to do this? when ctrl + enter to test the movie, it loads the url in a new window. am pasting the code below:
Code:
// CLASS IMPORTS
import flash.geom.*;
import flash.display.*;
import flash.events.*;
import flash.filters.*;

i am having with xml being displayed in flash mx.the tutorial on this site works fine, but when i write my own xml file and modify the as, i encounter the problems. ideally, i wolud like to be able to load text files and urls of images to be loaded into flash, flash recognises the xml file fine and actually loads it, however, when i try to use the nodeValue action, i am always given the value "null." this is because flash thinks the node is an element rather than a text node (type 1 rather than 3, when you use nodeType.) i don't know why it does this when it is obviously a text node.

I'm loading an xml file that contains nothing more than a list of "valid" zip codes. Here's a sample of the xml:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<zipCodes>
<zip>82930</zip>
<zip>82931</zip>
<zip>83114</zip>
...and so on.
What I need to happen is when a user enters a zip code, I need to return a "yes" or "no" based on whether or not the zip code they entered is in the xml list. So far, it only works if the zip they enter happens to be the last one on the list. This tells me that it's either not searching the entire file, or that it perhaps needs to search in a loop somehow.
Here's the code that works the closest to what I need:
stop();
var xmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader;
xmlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, showXML);
xmlLoader.load(new URLRequest("zipCodes.xml"));
var xmlData:XML;
function showXML(e:Event):void {

I have a TextArea and a DataGrid. I've populated the DataGrid with a list of text files in a directory. Now I'm trying to load the selected file into the TextArea. I'm getting a null pointer exception when selecting a file from the list, which tells me I'm not accessing it right...I think.
<s:TextArea id="mainTextField" x="0" y="0" width="730" height="523"
editable="true" enabled="true"/>
<s:DataGrid id="list" x="730" y="0" width="294" height="523" dataProvider="{files}" gridClick="listHandler(event)">

Using loadVars and importing variables into Flash through a text file, is there a way to automatically list all of the variables that are in the Text file? For example say my text file had these variables:
&foo=chuck&
&mario=luigi&
&frodo=hobbit&
If I didn't know the names of the variables foo mario and frodo, could I somehow scan the text file for all variables and simply list:
chuck, luigi and hobbit?

I am using this random code below to choose a quote to display and I want to move the quotes list to a text file.
Code:
quotes = [Fish are the last to recognize water.","I am my brains publisher.", "Every tool carries with it the spirit by which it has been created.","Curiosity is the mother of intelligence.","Thinking is drawing in your head.","A person without imagination is like a teabag without water.","Realism is a corruption of reality.","Its always better to be looked over than to be overlooked.","The hardest thing to see is what is in front of your eyes.","The soul has no secrets that conduct does not reveal.","Creativity is the defeat of habit by originality.","Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.","If you want to get lucky... it pays to get ready" ,"Realism is the corruption of reality","I'd give my right arm to be ambidextrous.","Music is noise submitted to order by wisdom.","God...invented the giraffe,the elephant,the cat.He has no real style.He just goes on inventing things.","The person you love is 72.8% water."]
qNum = Math.floor(riddles.length*Math.random());
partThree = quotes[qNum];
mainTxt = """+partThree+""";

am using Carousel 3, and have my images working properly, and even the application in general. What i'd like to do is embed urls in the text, however i'm finding the (") issue preventing this from happening in an element in the XML file. Initially I thought there was a way around using the quotes so that I could provide links in the text. what i'm trying to accomplish is this:
<icon image="icon1.png" tooltip="This is the Tooltip" content="This is the content and a link ((http://www.gotoandlearnflash.com)) that i'd like to make clickable for a user." />

I want to create a simple high score list of 10 high scores of a game. From reading the forums I seem to get the idea that flash cannot create a simple text file. I don't have php or asp but do have cgi capability. Does anyone know where I can find a simple cgi-script that will allow me to write the text the cgi receives to a simple text file: game.sco I want to be able to write a single long string to it so that I create a string of values and can load it back in using flash loadvariables. I can create the string in flash... but how do I write it to a text file using a cgi script? the text file would include this string...I already know how to read it and split it to parse it into arrays:

I have several SWFs pulled in at runtime from different domains (we're using a CDN). There are some shared fonts within the SWFs. I'm trying to minimize file sizes as much as possible, so that means either not embedding the fonts in any of those SWFs and setting all their TextFormats at runtime. That's very impractical, and it would be easy to miss some of them.
The other, better option is to use runtime shared libraries to pull in the fonts, but that requires either an absolute URL (goes against the concept of using a CDN), or a relative URL (defeats the purpose of using RSLs in the first place since those resources would be downloaded several times anyway). Ideally i'd like to be able to tell each SWF at runtime where to pull in the fonts, and give them all the same, dynamic URL. I can't find anyone who's encountered a similar situation, so i'm not sure if this can or can't be done, but most AS3 problems i find are solved here, so i'm hoping someone knows a good solution for this.

Very strange thing has happened. I've had this site running fine for over a year, and recently I have discovered that the buttons that go to external URLs do not work.All of the buttons should be going to another .php file, and they have been until discovered yesterday that they do not.If you go to the .swf file directly, you will see that the navigation buttons take you to the correct .php files, but it becomes unclickable when it's in index.php.VERY strange... but then when you go back to index.php, and click the php active hyperlink "Gum Drops" at the bottom of the page, you'll get taken to the php page... and then all of a sudden the navigation, and all flash links to URLs work!

I'm working on a flash header for a website with the page links contained in an external .txt file, and I'm experiencing a strange problem.The site is both in English and Italian: I worked first on the english version, I modified the AS code for the new .txt file and then I saved the project with another name and translated all the text into Italian.I also changed the name of the external .txt file as well as all the page links contained therein.Problem is when I click a page link in the Italian version of the site, the links are the same of the English version; seems like the .swf file "remembers" the old links just as I never changed the file name.This is the "_urls_IT.txt" file:
url1=index.html&url2=servizi_stefania_muggianu_traduttrice_interprete.html&url3=curriculum_vitae_stefania_muggianu_traduttrice_interprete.html&url4=campi_di_specializzazione_stefania_muggianu_traduttrice_interpre

My client has asked me to provide a template for an investor relations section of their website. The HTML page or template for this page will be at the service providers site, but all the images etc. for the page will be linked to files on my clients server. Everything looks fine, but the absolute URL's in the .swf file back to my clients site aren't working.
This is what the service provider's guidlines say, but I'm not sure where the code is supposed to go:
Similarly, newer versions of the Flash Media Player installed by most users have a high level of security enabled by default. This is done to prevent Flash movies from playing on web pages that are hosted on different domains than the movie itself (again, to combat "phishing" or "spoofing").

In an AIR app, I am loading a bunch of arbitrary text via JSON, loading it into an object, and displaying it via a custom renderer. I would like to have urls be clickable. So I'm sure that this is possible via some crazy regex thing (as I found for php here), but, Flex being flex, I'm astonished that there isn't some builtin functionality for this that I'm just not finding, or, failing that, a library that someone has created to do just this. (I'm equally astonished that this question hasn't been asked here before. I anticipate being flamed with the link to that)

It's possible in plain HTML to wrap pieces of text in spans or tags that can make it easy to style them later. For example, if I wrap "part can be styled" in a span wit class stylable, I could define my own style later for it. This <span class="stylable">part can be styled</span> later if needed I'm new to actionscript, and I'm wondering if something similar exists for actionscript/flex?

I have a dynamic text box that is loading in a text file. It seems to be doing this perfectly well. However, some HTML tags seem to break it. <b> makes the text dissapear. I tried doing a <span> on it, and changing the font-family with CSS, but I dont think its reading the CSS at all.

Anyone know of any good classes or functions that will do this? I've found some regexes but what I need is to pass the string to a method and have it return the same string, but with urls turned blue and turned into hyperlinks. Seems like a fairly common task, but I can't find anything.

I've built a flash photo gallery that pulls image urls from an external XML file. The gallery has different image catagories that load their own set of images.The user decided which catatgory they'd like to view by clicking an HTML button in the flash movies parent page...using javascript, this button click sends a variable to the root level of the flash movies with the new XML location...
Trouble is, onces the initial XML file is loaded, the movie has no need to refresh (and read the newly sent variable) ...*Unfortunately the catagory buttons MUST be outside the movie on the page...

When using the "Display data from an external file" tutorial from this site, I ran into a problem. It loads the text, but it only loads a certain number of characters... I am trying to load a few paragraphs of text but it stops loading halfway through the text file.Can someone please tell me how to get it to read the whole text file?I need it to read from a text file, so xml is out of the question. it must be editable by someone with no computer knowledge so I'm trying to make it as easy for them to change as possible.I am in a rush to fix this problem i'm having. I am searching, but hopefully someone will be able to give me a fix that will make it quicker.
