I'm importing a SWF by URLRequest, and I need to read from a var that is in there (actually, is a textfield).
Code:
//loading my local swf file (wich is a keyboard) and placing it where it goes
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("keyboard.swf");
var loader:Loader = new Loader();

In first frame of my movie I've got this:
PHP Code:
loadVariablesNum("produkter.txt", 0);
import TextField.StyleSheet;
var myCSS:StyleSheet = new StyleSheet();

and a dynamic textbox called "myHTML". If I name 'var' on this textbox everything works fine, but I want to write it in actionsscript instead. Where do I write that? (I have 3 different vars in the text-file)
I am developing an air application where I have to drop an image and save the Image path, width, height to variables and pass those variables to external swf. I load the swf like this:
var myLoader:SWFLoader = new SWFLoader();
var url:URLRequest = new URLRequest("myExternalMovie.swf");
myLoader.load(url);
I am getting this error: the way I am passing the URL of the swf is incorrect and not supported in AIR.
I'd like to set two seperate variables from two external .txt files, while I'm not new to AS 2 this is something I've never had to do and after searching for examples I've found that most apply to dynamic text fields. I simply want to populate some variables

View 1 RepliesI'm trying to pass a variable into my program through an external .txt file. Here's the basic code:
numberOfColors = new LoadVars();numberOfColors.onLoad = function(){ numberOfColors_text.text = this.myNumberOfColors;};numberOfColors.load("Text/NumberOfColors.txt");

I've tried every example I could find, but nothing really worked. What I'm looking for the to actionscript code (without using classes - i'd like to do all the code in the section of the mxml file) to load in an XML file that is stored in the same location as the swf file.

I'm writing an app that I want to ideally pull a random entry from a txt file. Each row of the txt document has 12 separate entries. When I use LoadVariables to read the file, I get the entire file. I cannot for the life of me figure out how to parse the individual lines.
I have so many questions I don't know where to begin...
First, do I need to use varName= in front of each item in the text file? Second, does flash anything that will allow you to read a file by line, then parse based on tab delimiters? Third, should I be using something besides loadVariables to retrieve data, or should I be using something besides a txt document?
this will get me started, but there is still the matter of randomly selecting a line in the txt document.
Okay i have a problem where I am reading an ASP page into my flash. It works fine when I am reading into the dynamic text fields but when I want to use a variable for something in the actual flash nothing is working.I am reading a Database and everything is working just great, except that there are no more records to read! I have a variable named last which is displayed during the last record set so that i could use it to end the display of the records.I tried setting it up in an if statement...
if (last =="yes")
{
counter = 0;
}
my program pretty much just ignores this statement but when i read the variable last into a dynamic text field on the last record set it will display yes

I need to read an external information from a TXT file or from an XML file, but as a number. I know Number() should convert string to number, but seems like the XML gives me an array, while I used XPath.selectNodes(durationXML, "/xml/@")... I used this code:

durationXML = new XML();
durationXML.ignoreWhite = true;
durationXML.load("duration.php?filename=projects/tracks

I have a text file containing html formatted text which I try to get into a textfield. All works fine locally and even on my localhost test server, but when uploading to the real server - I get a blank.

Once the text file is assigned to a variable, spaces for example are replaced by %5F.My text file: bddtxt.txt Content of text file: 1_1_0,2 3_2 3 4_0,4_5_0,5_6 7_0,6_8_0,7 8_9 10_0,9_11_0 My script (Flash 6):

On my html page I have two frames, one for navigation and the other for content. The navigation menu is an swf. Most of the content is html, except for the 'gallery' page.
The thumbnails for the gallery appear within the navigation. I can get the pictures to load from the thumbnails into the 'content' frame using LoadVars sendAndLoad.
However, doing this means that the flash gallery refreshes itself each time a thumbnail is clicked (thereby losing the transition effect).
So, how do I load the images in the other frame without reloading the flash??
Could I do it using external interface? ..
I'm importing external vars using loadVariablesNum() from .txt files. I know that each variable must be surrounded by amperstands (&) in order define the start and end of each variable.
ie:
Code:
&var_1=abc&
&var_2=xyz&
And then I want to use something like:
[AS]mc.gotoAndPlay(_level#.var_1);[/AS]
But my question is (for simplicity), is there a way to do this if the amperstand at the end is not included, such as:
ie:
Code:
&var_1=abc
&var_2=xyz
Flash returns the first variable above as var_01="abc " which is understandable since it was not closed properly. However, I want to be able to use the gotoAndPlay(); with var_01="abc ". I have tried labelling the frame with abc , but that didn't work.
I also tried using frame_array = new Array(_level#.var_1.split("")); and then said gotoAndPlay(frame_array[0]); but for some reason I couldn't get this to work either....
I am changing the flashvars variables v1=value&v2=value ect then after the flash movie runs I am changing the variables externally by javascript, so far so good.when flash first loads it reads the vars correctly.when I try to read them ( after the change ) it keeps reading the old values.[code]everything works except I cannot seem to read the changed FlashVars.
View 1 RepliesI 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 trying to load vars from a text file into a load vars object.

but i am having trouble doing this.
i have a textbox called displytext.
_root.displaytext.text = kitchentext.name;

I'm building a little application in AS3 but I need to get variables from PHP. I searched on the internet on how I should do that. It makes the connection, but it doesn't get the variables. It just prints whole my php script.

I think this should not be a big deal, but I do not get it to work. I got a "MainFlash" witch loades an XML with about 60 variables (Settings), in base of a paramater then this "MainFlash" loades another "FlashMovie" and this one needs, all, the same Variables too.
How do I properly pass all the Vars in the new/other "FlashMovie"?
U need to know I use LoadMovieNum to Level 0 I do replace the "MainFlash", cause the new loaded "FlashMovie" can have a completly different height and width ( ...I don't think it's possible to change the Document-Setting in a compiled swf, or is it? If this is possible I would not need to load a separate swf to Level 0. the main SWF usually ist about 320x180, the following can be 2x, 3x bigger...
var navChildXml:XML = <subpoint>
<text>XML(_nodes[prop].childNodes[inc].title)</text>
<link>XML(_nodes[prop].childNodes[inc].title)</link>

how to in this instance
the vars are not being declared
I've created a Flash interface that sends variables to PHP to place in MySQL.In Flash I have the following AS2 (abbreviated) ..
myVars=new LoadVars();
submit_btn.onRelease=function() {
myVars.username=_root.username;[code]..........
Invariably the else statement is deployed and a new record is inserted into the database even when the username and passwords (md5 encrypted) are identical. I've been on PHP forums and nobody has a solution, so I'm wondering if this is a Flash issue. Perhaps even though the username and password in MySQL 'appear' identical to what's submitted by Flash and md5 encrypted they're really not for some reason. I tried trim() and stripslashes() to no avail.
I have set something up for my flashvars. I have a form in html which accepts two inputs. This is then sent to this php page

how can I do this trick and keep different vars for each mc?
for(var i=0; i<arr.length; i++) {
var mc[i] = _root.createEmptyMovieClip('mc'+i, _root.getNextHighestDepth());}
