ActionScript 3.0 :: Reload SWF / JPG From XML File?
Oct 27, 2009
I'm trying to show a loop of SWF/JPG files in an existing SWF file. A timer decides when to load the new file and the external files are showing and scaling correctly during the first loop, but when the loop has run once I get really odd values on the external files with the Loader.height and Loader.width properties. The files have the following height values during the first loop: 278, 286, 278 and 787. During the second loop they all of a sudden have the following values, and of course don't scale correctly: 101.05, 786.8, 101.05, 2165.15.[code]...

I have a slide show swf file in AS3 that gets the paths froman XMlL file. The problem is that I change the XML file every dayand unless a viewer empties their cache, they get the old slides.There is a technique where you add ?mathRandom() code at theend of the XML path inside the .swf file, but from all I have readand believe, this only adds to ones cache and could irresponsiblyfill a viewers cache.Does anyone know a way to use actionscript 3 inside the .swffile to force a reload of the XML file if the browser has beenopened for the first time?

I'm trying to create a method of saving data to disk in Flash.
Uploading the data to a PHP server works... well enough I guess. The issue is that when I go to reload the data, the file has been cached, and so I can't load the saved changes.
Is there a way to force flash to reload a file? Or clear it's current cached version?

This seem like a silly question but as far as I've found: It's impossible to reload an xml file from a remote location while the SWF is running.
For example, I have a kiosk project that will run 24/7 (with a restart each night). I have an "calendar events" loading off an XML file that I want to keep on a webserver so I can update the kiosk by editing the XML file. However, the SWF caches the first XML file and keeps reusing it. I'm testing this by triggering a function that reloads the XML file with a button click.
I found trick that concats a unique ID to the file name which prevents using the old file but that means I'll have an ever growing list of XML files in the Temporary Internet Files folder.

I am trying to create something in which even when the flash file is already loaded and never closed, it will update itself. All the variables that are changing are pulled from a text file and loaded using
myData = new LoadVars();
myData.onLoad = function(){
and then I set all of the variables of the text equal to dynamic text fields. My question is: Is it possible to have it reload this text file (reset the text fields to the new variable) every so often?

I'm a newbie at programming and had performed serveral search on the net without much useful results. For all you programmer guru out there, please lend me a hand if you can.I am using flash version 5.0. I have 7 flash movie files within one working flash file and only 4 movie files gets display on an HTML page at a time. I need a script that will randomize the appearance of the movie files each time the browser gets refresh. But the script should only randomize 2 of the 4 movie files.
So for example, say I have movie files named 1 to 7. On browser load, I have movie file, 1,2,3 and 4 displayed. Now when a user refresh browser, I want movie file, 1 and 4 to be replaced by either movie file 5,6, or 7 (ie. random diplay of file).This might sounds confusing or I might not be explaining it well, but if you go to www.standpipe.com you will see what I mean. Look at the Case studies section, there are 4 movie files being displayed.

When I deploy a new .swf file in an HTML file as shown below, I have to clear the browser cache before the new .swf file loads in the browser. Is there anyway to force the browser to load the .swf file when I replace it with a new one on the server.

I have a flex application that has a home button. I need to reset the application when this button is clicked. I can't use navigateToURL or ExternalInterface.call("window.location.reload"); as its not acceptable to reload the swf file.

I have an animated logo swf file that loads and runs once on the home page every time the page loads. The logo has been updated to appear in three different colour schemes. I want one scheme to load and when the page is refreshed or revisited, one of the other colour schemes to load in its place. They can appear in any random order, just a different one to the one that played before reloading.

I have a simple flash website it is in AS3. Inside the website is a portfolio with a link to "print," "web," and "motion." When they click on motion, I have another swf that runs -- so far so good -- however, if they click off the "motion" page to look at any other page and then decide to go back to the "motion" page the swf no longer runs. The code I'm currently using is below. The swf that runs from the "motion" page is a component that I bought that is in AS2. Prior to buying it I asked the developer if it would work in AS3 and was told yes. I have posted these questions to the developer and have received no answer.

i'm working on a project that uses php and xml to link my database information with flash. I've successfully allowed flash to read the xml contents. I need to randomise the data i retrieved from the database, so my xml content will change everytime i refresh the browser. However, i realised that the flash content didn't change like the xml content. The script to read the xml is written on the 1st frame of my 1st scene. Is there a way to read the xml again everytime i refresh the browser or re-enter the scene?

I've searched the internet for hours looking for a solution. Seems like a few people have posted the same problems I am having but no solutions.
I have a flash project that contains a preloader. The project can be seen in this header[url]...
The flash animation plays fine when first loaded. However, when IE is RELOADED or REFRESHED, the animation gets stuck on the first frame I believe. The bizarre thing is that is works perfectly in FireFox after reloads.
I have tried multiple different embedding solutions and nothing fixes it. I suspect it could be the action script on the preloader. It is a one-frame preloader, and then the animation begins.[code]...

After searching the internet I found myself back here for the right answer. I've updated an swf for a client andin IE it won't reload without clearing the cache files. I know this is a common problem, but I couldn't quit figure out the best way to go about fixing it. I'd like to just add some actionscript to the swf if possible.

I have an html form within a flash site. The form is php processed. fix the php file so that after processing the form, the php returns the user to the flash page and reloads the html form. I tried a window.location in the php to send to the page but that did not work. It results in a white rectangle within the html code area (maybe frame but I'm not sure). How can I get just that html form reloaded? I do not want to load the entire page using a URL because that is too slow and I cannot replicate the flash state. BTW, below is a stripped down version of the code to simplify.

Tell me how to reload the movie itself, same like we embed a swf file on a web page, click browser's reload button so the flash movie reset to its original state?
But I want to do this from within the movie, when user click "reset" button, all the previous created instances will be released from memory. I can delete each object manually, but lots of work involved, also not sure if the resources are really free.

I am making my own video player and am adding an SD/HD feature which will basically be moving to a replica page with the relevant definition video on it. I was wondering if it is possible to have it so when this is done, and the new frame loads the FlV will load at the same position as the previous one when the button was pressed?
So like a
ActionScript Code:

I'm a AS3 beginner and are trying to make a nowplaying script for a local station where I do some work as volunteer.
The xml script that is created looks like [code]...
What I wanted to create is that flash takes information from the xml, the artist for example and compares this every 15 second with value it already has. If it's equal then do nothing else unload xml and movieclip and reload the new one.

I'm pretty new to flash and was hoping someone could offer some guidance with shared objects.hen the user refreshes the page by either refreshing or moving to another page the movie replays which is not the desired action.
