ActionScript 3.0 :: Multiple External Text Files?
Aug 17, 2011
I'm making a site that my clients will be able to log into, in order to check their status with my company.
Basically, I have the following dynamic text fields (instance names);
ActionScript Code:
/*
mayPay
junePay
julyPay
[Code]....
I will have .txt files uploaded to my server which I will be able to edit on the fly. I am just having trouble setting it up.
I can find a way where I am able to load one external text file into a dynamic text field, but not multiple..

I've managed to piece together a flash website with my limited as3 knowledge. The text is loaded from external text files and styled with an external css file.
It's working perfectly in Firefox and Explorer but it only works SOME of the time in Safari (on my mac).It's hit and miss. Sometimes it styles the text sometimes it doesn't.

I'm working in Flash MX
I made a site completly in flash.
But to lower file size I made the each section a different swf file
when you click a link you will have to wait for that section to load, it would be good if peoples can see the loading progress while they r waiting.
And i hav added a preloader in each of the external swf file.. and then i realise that if i wanna change or modify the preloader, i will have to change all the preloader too.. this is really kicking axx..
is there a way where on the main page there is only 1 preloader needed to show all the external swf files loading progress? i am using an empty mc as container to load thoose external swf files..

I am trying to find a way that I can print a range of jpgs that aren't currently loaded in my movie.
I have a list of thumbnails of photos (with correlating larger version residing externally)each with a number. I want the user to be able to specify a range they would like to print. I think I've gotten close by trying to create a new cast member and load the jpg into it for each one in the range. However my movie keeps hanging and not responding why I try that method.

I have a file (main.fla) which loads external movieclips on it,using an empty movieclip as loader (loader_mc).Now,I want to create a navigation,with two buttons (previous / next) which will allow me to navigate through the external movieclips.So,I have created these two buttons.For the "next" button I am using this code,to load the first external swf file (example1.swf):
Code:
on (release) {
if(this._parent.loader == Number(this._parent.loader_mc)){

Structure: There is 1 main file that loads external SWF files depending on what is clicked on.One of the external SWF files loads its text from external text files. This works fine when viewing the SWF applet on its own. But when viewing as a whole site, the text doesnt appear. Very annoying.I made that particular SWF on my mums computer running Flash MX 2004The flash file itself uses the Scrollbar component from MX.Could someone tell me why the text doesnt load in this scenario? It runs fine on its own, just not as an external SWF.

I'm fairly new to AS3 but this seems like a pretty basic thing to do.

I have a drop down menu whereby the clicking of a button causes it to move to a specific keyframe in the timeline. I also have multiple buttons which load external swf files.The problem is when i navigate to the drop down menu the loaded external files keep dissapering because they are not on the keyframe where the drop down menu is actuated. Is there any way of coding it so that which ever swf file is loaded remains there whilst the drop down menu moves to its specific stage in the timeline?

I have been working on this script that currently loads 2 external files into two separate areas inside my application. the 2nd file loaded is supposed to have several buttons that control the 1st movie clip. Like go to next frame, etc. My problem now is the 2nd file loaded, is not controlling the 1st anymore ( i had this all sitting in one file before).
So the action script to load the files is;
Code:
this.myBtn.onRelease = function() {
//load render 1 into viewer
this._parent.viewer.createEmptyMovieClip("clipHold", this.getNextHighestDepth());

I am trying to eliminate the Loader component from a project. Run locally, the Loader is sufficient to load-up the voiceover swf files that exist on many of the frames in the parent file. On the web, the short download delays at runtime due to the Loader are causing timing issues. I'm not sure if there is a way to preload multiple swfs into specific frames of a parent file so that they are available before runtime.

This list needs to be able to build itself as Iwrite new files every day and add the old ones to the archive.

I have managed to load an external text file in one place one the maintimeline. I would like to do the same thing on other frames. When I go to duplicate the same thing that I did on the first one I get a duplicate textReq request. Do I need to give the textReq a more specific name for each section? When I did this the movie wouldn't even recognize and of the code that was working before.I am attaching link so you can see sections I am talking aboutAlso you will notice that the swf file I loaded won't go away. That's another problem...ugh.Here is code on maintimeline:
stop();
import fl.transitions.*;import fl.transitions.easing.*;
import flash.net.URLRequest;import flash.display.Loader;import flash.events.Event;import

I have 5 text files that contain a list of 50 items in each file.
I want to bring that information into a datagrid; 1 column per text file. I'd also like to extend the code to add more columns when new files are created.
I was able to bring in one column, but maybe an approach with xml, an xml connector and dataset would be better.
Here is the code so far:
Code:
var PATH:String = "10-12-09.txt";
var extIndex:Number = PATH.lastIndexOf( '.' );
var extless:String = PATH.substr( 0, extIndex );

I have an external file highscores.txt, which my game opens. It finds the 3 variables in it and compares them to the score that the user got and determines if they beat it or not. If they beat the high score, I want it to re-write the variables in the file, which are "name", "seconds", and "minutes". Here is how I open the file and get the data.
loadText = new LoadVars();
loadText.load("highscore.txt");
loadText.onLoad = function() {

I am having a couple of issues with dynamic text. I am loading fairly simple text documents, but am ending up with some font oddness. For example, I am using plain Arial in the CSS but am ending up with words running together. In the word "Oxygen" the "Oxy" letter spacing is really tight. Do I have something odd in the CSS? Here it is:
[Code]...
Pretty straightforward so I can't figure out why things look bad. Would embedding the font, even if it's arial, make any difference? How does that work in the code? I tried using the embedFonts = true; but that didn't seem to really do anything. So I'm thinking that perhaps I should be loading HTML or something for these external text files. These aren't huge, but several of them contain listings, headline, main body copy, sub head - the typical sort of thing on would find in a text file. Is there a good primer out there as to what works with CSS and text files or different ways of getting text files into Flash?

I am fairly new to Flash 5, I have been using Swish for about 1.5 years. I want to advance to a new level though. I have asked this question at others boards, and haven't yet got a detailed enough answer for me to understand it and work it. Either that, or I am making just a tiny error. If anyone could explain in detail how to show a .txt file inside a flash OR give me a link to a detailed tutorial then that would be great.

I am having trouble trying to use actionscript to load different files when different values are changed. I am currently using a tilelist and they have different values so the code is something like this: (the title is just there, non-related)
if (startTileList.selectedItem.value == 1)
{
//textFile1 load here[code].........
So I want different text files to be loaded when different value is selected but I cannot seem to get it working.

A user, who is not familiar with html, wants to do very simple text formatting (font color, size, decoration) in external txt files that are to be loaded into Flash CS4 dynamic text fields. I know, some html tags can be used in txt files but the text becomes quite unclear. How is this issue usually coped with? Must the user learn a bit of html and use it or is there any other option?
