ActionScript 3.0 :: Loading External Text Which Will Then Be Used As A URL Source?
Apr 1, 2009
Using Flash CS4 professional And Action-script 3.0 I am currently working on an mp3 player in flash.I have my main fla file in my root folder.Also in my root folder is a folder names 'source_files'Inside the 'source_files' folder there is.A folder named 'songs' (which holds several mp3 files) and a text file named track_list.txt The text in track_list.txt is set out as follows (example values used).
//song1
//song2
Where '//' represents the start of the name of each song.
From within the project I have a code that loads track_list.txt and uses the split function to split the loaded data into an array before adding 'source_files/songs' to the beginning of each index of the array.

How to load variables from an external source? For example, Lets say I have a movieclip that contains 6 keyframes, and I want flash to load the proper keyframe when the main swf is opened. Flash knows what the proper keyframe is, because that variable is stored in a MySQL database, or txt file, or xml file, or whatever. Also, how could i have flash write to an external file, so that i can save the changes.

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.

I'm using this example [URL] at the moment, using buttons to feed text into a dynamic text box. What I've done is changed it to 'on (rollOver)' when the text pops up, and what I'd like to do is have a on (rollOut) and have it load a blank.txt so the text dissapears when you move your mouse away.

I have a class that loads data from a text file and puts it into an array called tdv.importedTxtArray (public var).In a separate class i have written [code]The infoArray does not then contain the imported text however because tdv.importedTxtArray is not given its popper contents until about 1/2 a second after the tdvLoader class executes (i.e: when Event.COMPLETE is run and the array is populated with strings from the external text file). Subsequently in the code above infoArray is set to a blank array.How can i get the code in my separate class to ''wait' until tdv.importedTxtArray is properly populated before accessing it.

in my projects i often use some xml files to load external text that i can format in css and it worked fine till now..i have a site that i am prograaming in italian and german and in both languages there is much text that contains special characters as "à " "ò" "è" "ù" "ä" "ü" and so on .. the problem is that when i write some text with this special characters in xml when the text is loaded in the flash this special characters are not recognised and instead of them a small square is displayed ..
i tryed to load the text from a html file instead of a xml file (because in HTML i know how to write theese special characters and let them display right in my html pages .. for example à = à but no way .. the flash now loades the text à instead of à ..

So I'm loading text from an external file I've uploaded onto the internet. It loads absolutely fine when I test the movie from my computer, but when I upload it and embed it onto an html page, all of the dynamic text refuses to load. Can someone enlighten me as to what's going on? Or at least tell me how to fix it? XD;

I'm loading some external text dynamically. Before I've always added the text to a textbox which is already on the stage. Now I'm adding the textbox with actionscript too but it's cutting off the exterally loading text at the height of the textbox (I know this because I am scrolling the text). There must be some property of the textbox which I haven't setwhat it is?Btw, I don't want to just change the height of the textbox as I am loading in many different texts of different lengths and this is affecting the scrolling.

Alright. I currently have a site where I need to have daily specials load into either dynamic text fields or tfl which ever is easier. Right now I am using as files loading into dynamic text fields but to update it I have to open flash move that days .as files into the same directory and publish, I have to do this everyday. Whats an easy way for me to set the code to automatically load the files everyday. Like on monday the code goes to /monday/specials.as and then tuesday does the same....or would it be easier to have an external file where all I have to do is edit the text and not have to open flash move files and re publish everyday.

I followed the dynamic text tutorial on this site, and it worked perfect in my test .fla, however it isn't working in my actual implementation...
Basically, I have a movieclip that is several layers deep into the movie that I want to load the text, but for some reason its not loading...
I take the same movie clip, and I put it on the main stage and it works just fine.
So somehow the placement of the MC in the flash movie is screwing the linking...

I've grabbed this code from the tutorials section and it works fine. I'm now trying to adapt it so that I can use it in a function. I'm calling the function from a deeply nested button and trying to load the text into a deeply nested textfield. I've located which part of the code is giving me trouble but am having trouble sorting it
function contentLoad (contentTitle, contentFile, contentId) {
_root.mc_contentMain.mc_bodyText.txt_title.text = contentTitle;
// text loading function below

I'm determined to have my external .txt file load into my dynamic field without ANY DELAY WHATSOEVER.
It seemed like the onLoad method of the LoadVars object would handle this nicely, however it does not work for me.
I placed the following code on the first frame of my movie:
loadText = new LoadVars();
loadText.load("content.txt");
loadText.onLoad = function() {
[Code]....
It displays fine but there's still a delay. I figured the content from my .txt file would be loaded by now (its 2KB in size and has html tags embedded).
How can I properly "preload" my external text?

I'm working on a project that involves pulling a number from a text file on a remote server. I am familiar with the intricacies of loadVars and loadVariables, but in this particular case, the text file only contains a number. It is not preceeded by a variable name or anything like that. It is just: 40. Is there a way to pull this into flash without a variable name so I can display it in a dynamic text field?
