ActionScript 3.0 :: Reading XML File For Phrase And Output When Found
Mar 11, 2009
I have a problem with my video. On the Stage I have an input box (book_box) with a "submit" (submit_btn) button. The purpose is to read an xml file for a phrase (the input box) and then output the phrase when found. The problem is it only ever reads the 2nd item in the XML list... So In this case, test.
The XML
<root><books><book>
<title>Learning</title>
</book><book>
<title>test</title>
[Code] .....

I've been using FlashTracer recently but it doesn't work in all browsers, so if I have to work in IE or some other browser I like to output trace actions to a TextField. Sometimes I will output to a javascript function as well. The only problem with this method is that I miss the runtime errors... for example, the runtime errors that are formatted like this:

I am have written a flash "reader" which I use as an aid for language studies. Various narrations are loaded into a combobox via an XML file, and the user can play the selected narration in a "sentence mode", a "passage mode" (several sentences) or in "continuous mode". (I use Soundbooth to set navigation cue points at the beginning of each "sentence".)
I would like to add a "Phrase Mode" which would cause the player to play the sound file until it hits a pause / quiet spot. In other words, if the user selected "phrase mode", the player would play to the next spot where there is no voice for x period of time. He/she will then be able to select 'repeat' to replay the phrase or 'next' to play the next "phrase" - as with the other modes. I am using FLVPlayback to play the .flv files.

I turn to you for help, dear sweet Kirupa Forumites. First, let me explain the problem: I have a flash file reading an external text file for the content. Everything works perfectly for nearly everyone - you click a menu button, and the content text comes up fine. However, a couple of people have found that the text shows up as "undefined". I have checked the player versions of the people where it doesn't work, and it is the same as for those where it does work, so that ain't the problem.
I don't understand why it works perfectly for nearly everyone, but a small number of people have this "undefined" text problem. It seems to be a problem with loading the external text file, but I don't know why. I have a main flash movie, and load the text in the first frame, using the following:
var my_content = new LoadVars();
my_content.load("content.txt");
my_content.onLoad = function(success){
if (success){
[Code]...
I then have a couple of dynamic text boxes in the main movie - one called ErrorText (for displaying an error message to the user) and one called ContentText (for displaying the content). I use an external menu swf which jumps to a specific frame in the main movie, depending on which button is clicked. Actionscript on the main movie frame for the first button does the following, with the other frames similarly configured:
ContentText.htmlText = my_content.content1;
stop();
My external text file is properly configured (content1=blah blah&content2=other blah blah) etc.
Does anyone have any advice on how I can solve this particular weird problem??

I am compiling my css files to swf files and loading them at run time. I have no problem compiling these and using ClassReference statements most of the time:
[Code]...
Does not work. The difference is that the HeaderBackground is a class in the same project as the css file. That does compiel fine if I move the style into my mxml file though.
I wonder if the compiler uses different source paths when compiling the css fiels or something. This is in FlashBuilder 4 build 269271 SDK 13963

I'm trying to read bmp fille byte by byte and then redraw it. For that I made a .fla file for veiwing and .as file for coding. I just started coding and made import to the follwing files in this scenario and I get errors while debugging.
Code:- package

import flash.filesystem.File;[code]....
Error Message:-
1172: Definition flash.filesystem:File could not be found.1172: Definition flash.filesystem:FileMode could not be found.1172: Definition flash.filesystem:FileStream could not be found.5000: The class 'FileStreamLive' must subclass 'flash.display.MovieClip' since it is linked to a library symbol of that type.
I've seen many samples on filestreaming but all were using the mxml scripting that I don't know

I am working on a new flash project that allows the user to prepare artwork using the .swf flash file and allows them to overlay hypertext links into their artwork. The output of this custom content is needed to be saved as a .swf file itself, so that it can be used independantly. The new .swf file would essentially just be a single frame with the interactive artwork on

I would like to have two applications communicate with each other. One app is a Flash running the browser and the other one is another app of ours that is distributed as *.exe file. We need the C/C++ application to read some info out of the SOL file, that is written by the Flash app.
Any other mean that can be used to read the SOL file from a C/C++ application? How often is the format of the SOL file being changed ?

What I have so far...sure there is a better way to do this and as I learn AS3 I will figure it out. The following is what I put together where I now have three instances of the segmented thumbnail button that shows an image when cliked on. What I figure out why it only reads the one xml file.
My XML files: images, images_a, images_b
<images><image full="images/full/image1.jpg" thumb="images/thumb/image1.jpg" /> <image full="images/full/image2.jpg" thumb="images/thumb/image2.jpg" /> <image

I'm trying to read a url from an xml file and attach an onRelease event to a movieclip that opens the url when clicked.
Code:
var thelink = getValue(findNode(i, "link")).toString();
var thelink2 = "../news/Press Releases/testpdf.pdf";
if (thelink <> "")
{
tempMC.bat.onRelease=function(){ getURL(thelink); }
}
If I use the "thelink" variable as input to the getURL function, I get a "Page not found" error.If I use the "thelink2", it works as expected.When I look in the debugger, "thelink" and "thelink2" are identical!Here is the code for the findNode function. I've had no problems before with this code, so I don't think the problem is there.
Code:
function findNode(node, nodeName)
{
if (node.nodeName==nodeName)

I have a couple variables coming from PHP. So for example if my PHP looks like this:
PHP Code:
$qry = "Select * from memory";
$result = mysql_query($qry);
echo "memory=";
while($resultset = mysql_fetch_array($result)){
echo $resultset['name'].";".$resultset['memory'].",";
For this the output from the PHP file would look like this:
memory=Person2;Memory2,Person1;Memory1,
So basically the comma represents a new record in the database. So basically in my text field I'd like the following result to happen:
Memory: Memory2
From: Person2
Memory: Memory1
From: Person1
So take the first record and display it like I've shown and then have a couple break lines (not sure how to accomplish this either) and display the next record that was separated by the comma.I have the following AS code which works for one variable but I have more then one like above:
ActionScript Code:
files = new Array();
lv = new LoadVars();
lv.onLoad = function() {
[code]....

I am making a random name chooser for a class (using an array to read from 28 names). I was wondering if it is possible for flash to read an array from a notepad file. [code]Is there a way to make it so that instead of having to edit the Fla file to edit the names, I can just make a notepad file with the array and _root.NumberOfStudents variable so that it can be edited from year to year easily?

I have an AIR app im currently developing. And often I am reading 150+MB CSV files. To load the entire file takes a long time, and is quite a memory hog. Im currently loading the entire thing, but the software often only needs part of it, but then will need other parts later.he files are about 1.7Mill lines long, so what I am trying to do, is read the file, but just load every 1000th line. then load all the lines of just the part the person is looking at. But when the look at a different part, I need to load that part in full.

Quick question. Ofcourse I know that you can read flash variables from a text file, which is formatted like: @var1=firstVariable@var2=secondVariable and so on.But is there a way to read normal text out of a textfile? Is it through the bytearray class?

I am trying to import an xml file with multiple sections of HTML. It looks like:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<htmlcontent>
<application>
<title>Site Deployment</title>
[Code].....
Whenever flash sees an html tag such as <p> or <img src=""> it stops reading the xml file at that point. I currently have it working with each application in its own xml file, but that is messy and I would rather it all be in one place.
