I want to develop one application flash or flex based which can read SVG file and draw according to its layer and all property, I wan to know how can I develop such application using action script or how can I use Adobe SVG viewer.
View 1 RepliesA friend of mine has a Flash Action script running on a LAMP server that currently reads an xml config file. He's asked me if it's possible to remove the xml file, and replace it somehow with a system (lets call it an 'auto xml generator') that intercepts the request to read that file and generates an output, so it appears to all intents and purposes as if the file still exists and contains the contents that has actually been returned from our auto xml generator'
View 3 RepliesI have a main swf file and config.xml located in the same directory. My .swf file uses config.xml to fetch config variable which it does with success.The problem appears when I put those files into Flex directory. I embed .swf file like this.
<mx:Image id="loading" source="@Embed('/blobs/visualLogo/mySwfFile.swf')"
visible="true" horizontalCenter="0"/>
I also place config.xml into /blobs/visualLogo/
This time I get an error in Flex:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
at mySwfFile_fla::MainTimeline/frame1()
I mean, I use dynamically changing xml-data in my app that I could get straight from the server but it is gzipped. So I was wondering is there a way to unzip it and read it as a xml file with actionscript?

View 1 Repliestrying to change a gallery that reads xml file to one that reads txt files and that also has a preloader and centrally resizes automatically. since i got no replies i tried and finally after a few months managed to get it to read txt files. unfortunately, i have realised that i require the gallery to read data from a php file and not a txt file because i dont have the permissions to create a txt file and edit it on the server.
Code:
spacing = 10;
//photo._alpha = 0;
pArray = new Array();

So lets say I created a simple game with all of the parameters are stored in variables. At any time of the game the user can press save, and these variables will be sent to .csv file using PHP. Each time the user presses save, it will add a new line in the file. This I know how to do.
Here is what I don't know how to do. How would I make it so that when the game is started, I wanted it to load the last line of variables from the .csv file into the game? So basically the last save needs to be loaded when the game is started.
I need to read a CSV file, (text only), I am using Flash builder 4, Flex 3.5 sdk.I have found a LOT of examples, but no one is working completely..
View 7 RepliesIs there a AS function or another way a SWF file could read its own filename? The reason for that I have a FLASH chess game which can store the position of the pieces in a sharedObject. The name of the sharedObject file as well its path has to be hard-coded. If I need to have several chess-games played at a time on the same computer, to store each game position I need to compile a separate SWF with a different sharedObject filename hard-coded. A user will fill more independent if he could just save a copy of the same SWF under a different name. But in this case how shall I make each copy of the SWF use its own sharedObject?

View 1 Repliesi have a file called soundList.txt with some text in it, for example1.mp32.mp33.mp34.mp3e text file changes in lenght from time to time (as new .mp3s are added or deleteed)but it will be 1 thing per line .. now i want to read this into an array called "soundList" in flash..or if any of you have any better ideas im open for suggestions, but keep in mind i want it as simple as possible ( im getting to xml stuff but dont have time for it yet and i need this to work now)
View 1 RepliesIm sure this is really rather retarded, but zeros are not being read from my xml file into the dynamic text boxes. ie. if I have a 10 it reads it as 1, and if I have 101 it reads it as 11.the strings calling the nodes from the xml file look like this:this.ref["pos1"].text = nodes[0].firstChild.firstChild.toString();and the xml file is like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encode="UTF-8"?>
<nodes>
<node>

i have a file called soundList.txt with some text in it, for example

View 7 RepliesI can't get it to work. I now messed up the code so I have to start over and I'm a bit desperate now
I think the core of the problem in my actionscriptproject is the following:
1. I need to read, for example, 20 variables from a file, preferable an xml file. This file has 20 lines, and has two fields per line, variable name and content
(being text between " ").
so data.xml would be something like:
variable1, "text for variable1"
variable 2, "this is var2 content"
...
or even:
&variable1=value1&variable2=value2&variable3=value3&variable4=value... and so on to 20.
2. Then, from the 20 read vars, a new array should be "populated" randomly! And at this point, I don't even know how to start doing that.
Im having trouble getting flash to read mms.cfg file. This file only contains one line;
[Code]...
Where i believe it should be stored on a 64-Bit Machine. When ever we check the global settings on a flash video the setting still remains on "check for updates automatically).
I try to read a txt file and split the content into variables, I use the following:
var fileURL = fl.browseForFileURL("open", "Select file");
var str = FLfile.read( fileURL);
the problem is the str get the whole test file, if the text file has multiple line,can I read the file each line by line, such as a function like readLine or something,so the str only get information for each line?
I was wondering so long that how can people analyze the trait of each file extension (of course open it in notepad is not readable) For example, I want to write a program that can read everything from .fla file like timeline, movie clips, position of each MCs or all the motion tween values. And get the image embeded in it. (I'm planning to use flash as IDE for another project.)
(The reason that I tried to read proprietary format is I want to utilize their awesome editor. What I actually want to do is, I want to make an iOS game with cocos2d. There is a code to move things around in cocos2d but there is no decent editor. So I'd like to use Flash as an editor, then convert the motion to objective-C cocos2D code by reading the .fla file.)
I want to read an xml file placed in the same folder as the swf. Note however there is no webserver running.

public function startup():void {
output.text="CheckPoint1"; //This is the only output that displays!

So on the on CreationComplete event i call startup(); The Checkpoint1 output displays but none of the other checkpoints are reached? how to read a file placed in the same folder as the swf file!
