ActionScript 3.0 :: Loading A CSV File And Accessing The Variables?
May 6, 2009
I'm new to AS3 and dealt with AS2 before (just getting the grasp when the change it). Is it possible in AS3 to load an excel .csv file into Flash using the URLLoader (or ???) and the data as variables?I can get the .csv to load and trace the values (cell1,cell2,cell3 but I'm not sure how to collect the data and place it into variables. Can I just create an array and access it like so.... myArray[0], myArray[1]? If so, I'm not sure why it's not working.
I must be on the completely wrong path. Here's what I have so far..
I add the sprite to the stage and define it's x and y in the class file. How would I go about changing the x and y of the container within my fla file?
I am currently helping make a project which needs to load variables from a PHP file into Flash. What I want is the flash movie to go to a frame if the PHP variable in the PHP file equals some text, say "hello".For my PHP file I have this:
I have tried several bits of actionscript, but with no luck. Basically, I want the movie to go to a frame if the variable in PHP equals "hello". Which it currently does, I have tried using the if statement in several ways but with no luck.
I'm trying to load some variables dynamically from a text file, when a button is pressed. They will not load on first press , but on second or subsequent presses they will.
the variables from the text file are loaded in swf and in dreamweaver the swf throws an error
Error: Error #2101: The String passed to URLVariables.decode() must be a URL-encoded query string containing name/value pairs. at Error$/throwError() at flash.net::URLVariables/decode() at flash.net::URLVariables() at flash.net::URLLoader/onComplete()
I understands this is because of flash player security and need to place crossdomain.xml file. but the my doubt is where to post my crossdomain.xml file in the local machine(to check the swf) and also in my website for the rest.
I want to get some leaders name from text file as variables using URLLoader.load() the application is working fine while testing TestMovie from flash but it's not working in html page and throws the following error even i read articles about crossdomain policies.;[code]
I know you can run a .bat file through flash , but can you "load" a variable from a text box in flash ( for example a URL ) to a .bat , and then run the batch file ? have an input box in flash , enter a URL , and then , through a batch file , open this URL in multiple browsers.
I need a AS that will load n number of variables from a txt file, which will have string values assign to them, and then in fla, it will fade in - wait - fade out in a dynamic textbox all of them one by one, and at the end it will loop it. I know how to do certain parts of this code, but I am not really good with array's yet.
I am trying to load two variables from a text file testi.txt Heres my file (test1=here is some text&test2=OK)I have no problems loading test1 -part to dynamic text field but the second variable (test2) is giving me troubles.
I have a Flash movie that loads variables from an external plain text file, that a client updates themselves (from a web site which generates the file). A problem occurred when they used an ampersand symbol in the text field. Is there a way around this? I haven't seen a way to escape it that works.
I'm loading 6 variables from a text file to populate an array, then using setInterval to populate two textfields every 5 seconds. IE7 gives me the "A script in this file is causing Flash Player 10 to run slowly do you want to abort this script?" It runs fine locally, but when I upload it, it won't work. Files are in the same folder in each case. Here is the entire script.
I have finally started with AS3 and flip-'eck its a different animal that AS2
I have a swf called login.swf and in it have declared the variables var total:uint=0; and loginState:Boolean=false
All my scripts for logging in sending/receiving variable from/to server scripts are all working!
So... when a user supplies a correct password another swf (userLogged.swf) is loaded (note: in AS3 this process is seriously different than in AS2) swf dont seem to be loaded 'into' another movieclip anymore... and this leads me to the puzzle!
How do I access variables declared in the project.swf, from within the userLogged.swf!
the old AS2 way = trace (_root.loginState);
or trace (_root.project.loginState)!
I am stumped by this new approach of AS3 of loading in other swf files. The _root. options is no longer available in AS3 (that much I've descovered, some tuts say use root. but I cannot get that to work)
trace (root.loginState) or
var userLoggedIn=root.loginState
gives me the error
1119: Access of possibly undefined property loginStatus through a reference with static type flash.displayisplayObject.
I'm trying to access the AchievementScreen's textfield from a medal object. Point being to have a mouseover event of the medal, change the content of the textfield shown. I tried a trace first: trace(this.parent.parent.parent.parent.textLineCon tainer); 1119: Access of possibly undefined property textLineContainer through a reference with static type flash.displayisplayObjectContainer. trace(this.parent.parent.parent.parent) shows me it is a AchievementScreen object. textLineContainer is the instance name of the MC nesting the textfield (I actually drew the achievement screen then exported it to actionscript.
I want to use the variable var_page3_title for dynamic text boxes in movie clips further on down the timeline. Of course I don't want to repeat this code for every textbox so my question is, how to I access the variables from the function loading();
First off I don't understand classes, how to "call" or "initiate" them. I'm class ignorant.
I have two .fla files. One of my .fla files consist of 15+ .as files; we'll call this one XML editor. The other .fla file consists of 10+ .as files; we'll call it the interface.
The xmleditor.swf loads the interface.swf. Within the xmleditor.swf, a login screen appears and the enduser logs in as either a "user" or an "admin". The "user" or "admin" is stored in a public variable called "userType". The userType variable is created in one of the many xmleditor.fla .as files called Login.as.
Once logged in, xmleditor loads the interface.swf. interface.fla uses 10+ .as files. one is called nodeNames.as I need an if statement in nodeNames.as that is something like this:
if (Login.userType == "user"){ trace("do something"); }
I have the following FlashVars.as file but I have no idea what the steps are to make it work.
I would like to know if it is at all possible for AS3 to grab header information and process it? I am trying to avoid having to use PHP to get the information, then store it in a DB, give it to flash, then go and delete it again, or something alike.
Basically the flash is waiting for three variables that get sent through the URL, right when it gets initialized, then once it gets those variables, it can determine where to go next.This is for a Facebook application, and I am using FBML to embed the flash.
I am creating a flash program to open other flash programs (load swf files), and change their textfields to my own extended textfield class. This is to capture all text written to screen using a textfield object. Here is what I am doing:
1. If a textfield has been created, the event is captured
2. I want to replace the textfield with my own class extending textfield
*3. Any further access to the original textfield for value changes can be captured, and would update the replaced extended textfield object
The problem is if in their original code, at sometime, the text value of textfield is changed (mainly through textFieldObj.text = some_value) , I don't know how to capture this event.
This cannot be captured by event.CHANGE which requires the user input (ie: keyboard strokes) into the actual text field and changing the text through the code: textFieldObj.text = some_value does not trigger the event.
Here is a simplified example:
// FlashMovie.fla START ------------------------------------------- // any DisplayObjects (such as a created textfield) created will be captured // by ChildAdded() this.addEventListener(Event.ADDED, ChildAdded);
i'm having trouble creating an image preloader with a loop. my apologies, this might be a very simple task that i've been pulling my hair out over for an hour.
i have 8 UIloaders. each named image1,image2,image3, etc. they are inside a movie clip called "allClips_mc".
I have an input box and button on frame 1. I want user to enter some text in the textbox, and press the button.This will take him to frame2 and based on the info supplied it will take something from the server. The code on the frame 2 would be:
ActionScript Code: var path:String = ("Http://" + w.text + ".pl"); var nodeLoad:URLLoader = new URLLoader(); nodeLoad.load(new URLRequest(path));
[code]....
I get the error. - Access of undefined property w. (where w is the input box)
I need to access the contents of a variable that is filled inside a function, but is declared outside the function.. [URL] says that if you declare the variable outside of the function the variable should be accessible even when its content is filled by a function. I have declared the imgs variable at the start, outside the function, as an array. After that the function retrieves a string from the URLLoader and splits that string into to the imgs array/variable.
I have a parent swf which loads a child swf. The. Child swf is a game and when. It finishes, I need to access the score from the parent swf. How is this possible....
number = '12345' I'm trying to hook my counter up to a PHP script that echo's a DB query. Now I've had no issue passing the variable and I can even display it in a dynamic text field but no matter what I try I cannot get the "number" varibable to use my PHP variable The dynamic text field shows the correct value clear as day but the counter just shows "undefined".
