ActionScript 3.0 :: Read Info From Txt File To XML Line?
Mar 4, 2011
Below, I will copy the code I am using and I have placed to .fla file and images online, but I cannot place the link here (don't have enough posts yet), so ask me if you want.he script runs perfectly and loads its parameters from the "hardcodedXML" variable. This way, however, whenever the images and their information need to be changed, someone with knowledge of flash and AS will need to open the sourcecode and alter the "hardcodedXML".I am currently assigned to make a renewed website for my employers and would like to enable them (no knowledge of flash or AS whatsoever) to edit the contents of the scroll box. The easiest way for "dummies" is to have a .txt file in the same directory, that contains the stuff that is put in the "hardcodedXML" right now.My actual question/problem: how can I create a txt file that is read by the script, to store the string in "hardcodedXML" (the current string that is hard coded looks like "<photos>...</photos>".I've tried searching Google, but didn't come up with anything.
ActionScript Code:
import fl.data.DataProvider;
import fl.events.ListEvent;

I'm making a yearbook for my school and I have A LOT of information to be shown on it (in case you were wondering, its a digital year book lol). Theres a certain page that has all the headshots of all the students, and when the picture is clicked, a new scene opens with the information on the student (along with fancy opening animations). Firstly, is that the easiest way to do it, or can i have an overlapping MC that appears over the pictures, fading out or blurring the background, then click an X to shrink and fade out and unblur the background...Secondly, is there a way to create a template thingo for this MC or scene so that it can automatically read data from an xml or text file and place it in the appropriate position for that name. For example-the text would look like this
"bob_bio"
pic:"C:~~obphoto.jpeg"

I'm trying componentize one of the pieces of UI in an AIR application that I'm developing in Flex. In this example, I want to display file information on a single line (which has an icon, some text/link and the size).
My code looks like this (component is called FileDisplay):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Canvas xmlns:mx="[URL]"><mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
public function set iconType(source:String):void {
this.ficon.source = source;
[Code] .....
However, when I do this, I get an error: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. This is because the child components of the FileDisplay are null (or at least they show up that way in the debugger). Am I supposed to be waiting for events indicating the child components were created? For now I can manually do everything in ActionScript in my main app (create a Canvas and add children to it) but how to separate the code more cleanly.

A 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'

I'm using the text effect I found in ActionScript Text Animation , and the script works great.
My question is, is it possible to have line breaks? I tried adding spaces to end a line, but you'd have to wait for the script to read through the added spaces before the next line begins.

I need to read a large CSV file (8-15 MB) and generate a LineChart in Flex AIR. Since Chart need data in structurd format like XML. When I read CSV and convert it to XML object 8 MB file size become 24 MB XML object and not able to graph.
Best solution is to read Line by line and read only part of data. How can I acheive this in Flex AIR ? Is it possible to read line by line in Flex.
Otherwise what are the best ways to draw a graph in FLEX using large data.

I have some scrolling content (info). I've also made my own scroll bar.I want the scrollBar dragger to be positioned in relation to the info._y as the user scrolls info.I have created two vars: one that worsk out where info._y is as a percentage and the other that works out where the scroll._y dragger should be as a percentage...
Actionscript Code:
var scrollBarPercent = Math.round(scrollBar.dragger._y / [code]........
also onMouseWheel working too.I need a small bit of code that takes the % of info._y and moves the scrollBar dragger to the same % but in relation to the Stage.height...so if projectGalleryPercent = 50%, make dragger._y 50% of Stage.height using scrollBarPercent.

I am using Adobe Flash Media Streaming Server 3.5 but I can't find any output file (fx a xml file) that I can pull out info from and use on my website via a PHP or ASP script. It could be nice - in the website - to retrieve info like "online users attending", "running / streaming state" (online or offline) and other relevant info about the streaming, so I on the website can display how many that are online when a webtv event is streaming.

how to determine swf publish date/time stamp from within the swf?
I have a template fla used to build apps (in AS3) and would like to know some info about when it was published.
I initially thought it would be in the loaderInfo but it doesn't have the date/time stamp of when it was published (or at least not that I could find)

I 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.

[Code]....
I'm new to the action script and problems about creating functions after preload() function i call for firstsong(). I have firstsong(), prevsong() and nexsong() functions and timebar() function that is called in each firstsong(), prevsong() and nexsong() functions.

trying 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();

I am currently trying to modify a hangman game I found on here (URL...). I'm not very good at actionscript and hopefully this will be a good exercise to learn more - I really want to learn how to make games. I have seen hangman games that include clues for words, but the only games I can find that I can read the source in don't have a clue field, and pull the words from an external .txt file. Is there a way of also pulling phrases to be as clues from these files? I could just create another .txt file and make it a new variable, but of course I would have the problem of it not matching the word. I hope i made sense.

I want to upload file and get some information from server at the same time. I have the code:
file.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, function():void {
trace("complete 1"); });
file.addEventListener(DataEvent.UPLOAD_COMPLETE_DATA, function():void {
trace("complete 2"); });
When the returning data is not empty, I see:
complete 1
complete 2
But when the returning data is empty, I see:
complete 1
How can I understand that file uploading is compete absolutely even if received data is empty?
