ActionScript 3.0 :: Select Variable Filename From Local Directory With Fn To Load XML

Aug 23, 2011

I would like to select a specific xml file to load from a local directory. The file name is composed of "Title" + "number sequence". I know the Title (in this case its XLink07), but I need to select the latest number sequence or the latest by date stamp.

For example, the local directory has the following files:
XLink01[36735298100].xml
XLink02[36735298100].xml
XLink02[36735298101].xml
XLink07[36735298100].xml
XLink07[36735298101].xml

In this example I need to select file XLink07[XXXXXXXXXXX].xml where XXXXXXXXXXX is the highest number within the XLink07[XXXXXXXXXXX].xml files. Title is Xlink07 and function should return Number sequence [36735298101]. Files with higher number sequence have later date stamps than files with lower number sequences. I need to select the highest number or the latest date stamp for the file that begins with XLink07.

My action script to load the local .xml file without any function to select the correct file is:
Security.allowDomain("*", "*")
var xmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
xmlLoader.load(new URLRequest("XLink07[36735298101].xml"));
xmlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, showXML);
function showXML(e:Event):void {

ActionScript 3.0 :: Get The User To Select A Local Directory?

Oct 12, 2009

I've been asked to write an app where I have to get the user to select a local directory, scan that directory for all images inside and then upload these images to the web. After a few hours of searching the only way that seems like it could be possible is with the use of an AIR application rather than just a flash application.

Flash :: Get A Random Filename From A Directory In AS3?

Sep 21, 2010

I need to get a random filename from a directory in AS3, and open it. (This will be online, so no AIR)

I'm thinking of just using a text/xml file with all the filenames listed, and just traverse through it getting the filename. But is there a more "direct" way to just look at the directory so I don't have to edit the text/xml file all the time?

ActionScript 2.0 :: Making Filename A Variable

it's possible to have AS take the filename of itself and make it a variable. I need it to be done by AS only. I know it's possible in PHP, but I'm not sure about AS. I'm guessing if it's possible it's one line of code. I'm using Flash 8 but publishing at Flash 6, AS 2.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Pass Textbox Value As Variable For URL/Filename To NetStream.play(url)

Oct 1, 2009

I would like to pass a value from a text box on stage as the URL or filename to the NetStream.play() argument. example:

var url:String = url_text.text;
var conn:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
conn.connect(null);

[Code].....

The point of the matter is that I'm pulling the values from JavaScript/HTML using the ExternalInterface which changes as the user selects next on a HTML page. The page name (URL) is being parsed and passed back as the video filename. I'm using the text boxes currently just to test/view the values being received and sent to JavaScript. The value send and receive fine, I just can not seem to pass the value into the NetStream.play(JavaScriptValue).

function getTextFromJavaScript(str:String):void {
sending_ti.text = str;
var jsArgument:String = sending_ti.text;

ActionScript 2.0 :: How To Select File From Local Disk Dynamically

Feb 22, 2004

I want to do a stand alone application in wich you can select a mp3 from local disk with Flash MX. I've been searching for a function or a method who allows to open a "browser window" or to have a string with the filenames but I haven't find nothing. I also have searched for an argument for fscommand but nothing. Does someone know if some function exists in javascript to give a string with the filenames of a folder? And in this case, how to integrate it in actionscript? I know that I can use a explorer to do that with javascript, but I need to do it without browsers.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Exchange A Filename/url (like "XMLtoLoad") By A More General Variable?

Jun 25, 2003

I have the following question: How can i load a dynamic xml, i.e. the .xml file that will be generated automatically and thus gets different names.I want flash to "listen" to a variable "file", that is "file" represents the name of the xml-file to load. Like showXml.swf?file=abcd1234.xml. btw i don't exactly use the xml extension so it becomes showXml.swf?file=abcd1234

I using a general name = "XMLtoLoad" to load my xml.My AS right now is somthing like:

file = XMLtoLoad;
_root.xmlDocument.load("XMLtoLoad");

how can i exchange a filename/url (like "XMLtoLoad") by a more general variable? Or maybe i should ask how can i convert the name after "?file=" to a URL within AS

Actionscript 2 :: Function's Local Variable Through A Concatenated Variable String?

how you would target a function's local variable through a concatenated variable string.For example:

I'd expect the trace to be "Hello World" but rather is given "undefined". So if variables created outside functions are created on the main timeline, where are local function variables created and how would you access them?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Uploading Local Files Without Requiring User To Select Files?

Feb 3, 2009

My users upload a certain kind of text file that sometimeshas references to images stored locally on their hard drive. I needto check this file either on the server or within a flash app tosee if it has these references and then grab those images in aflash app to upload to my server.So I can use FileReference easily enough to have users uploadlocal images. But FileReference requires users to select their files with a dialog box. I can't have that. Myusers wouldn't know where to look and there are typically way toomany files, sometimes with the same name but in differentdirectories.

I can also just use URLLoader with a local URL, I guess I canprobably just use Loader too? That works great. The problem here isI can't communicate with both the server and the local filesystemin the same flash application due to Flash's security sandboxrestrictions. So I can get out of those security restrictions byplacing or editing a trust file in designated locations on variousOSes. I then need to install this trust file which is more invasiveand confusing to users then I want to be...Java's method of accessing local files from a web applet bysimply signing the applet with a certificate and having a dialogbox popup where the users grants access is ideal. Is there anything

Flash :: Load Images Into It From Directory?

Jun 24, 2011

Anyway what im trying to achieve is - AS reads a directory on a server lets say, it contains 10 images, this would create movie clips for each one and assign them to array "pockets"(im not sure if you can do this in AS, you can in PHP and JS so I'd expect so) then I'd use a repetitive function to manipulate each one of those images.

Actionscript 3 :: Why Moving A Symbol's Class File From Top-level Directory To Deeper Directory Break

Feb 9, 2010

When I have a class linked to a MovieClip in my library and that class takes an argument in its constructor method. That class will compile properly ONLY when it's located in my top-level directory (same dir as the .fla and Document.as files). If I move that class to a deeper directory, say com.place, and update the package statement and symbol link appropriately, the compiler will generate error "1136: Incorrect number of arguments. Expected 0."Create flash project and put a rectangle on the stage. Covert it to symbol and assign it to class TestPanel - or whatever you choose. Also configure the fla so that is uses a Document (Main) class.Create Main.as and TestPanel.as in the same folder. In the Main class, instantiate a instance of TestPanel and add it to the stage. Flash will, predictably, add the rectangle symbol and everything is fine.Now modify TestPanel so that its constructor method takes a Number and have Main.as pass some number to TestPanel.[code]You now get the error: 1136: Incorrect number of arguments.Expected 0.When I move the TestPanel.as into a deeper directory, Flash somehow is looking elsewhere for the base class for Symbol, even though I'm mapping that Symbol to com.place.TestPanel.

Actionscript 3 :: Load The Last Text File From A Directory?

Nov 8, 2010

I have this function that loads an specific .log file:

function loadTracks():void {
tracksLoader.load(new URLRequest("/Users/Me/127.0.0.1,"+_logNum+".log"));
}

The logNum variable gets its value, writing it by hand in a separate text file, avoiding to open and editing the .fla each time the new .log has a different name:

logNumLoader.load(new URLRequest("/Users/Me/trackLogNum.txt"));

Some application creates in each session a new .log file with this file name pattern: 127.0.0.1,NUMBER.log // Being NUMBER the 5 digit changing part of the name, each time a new .log file is created. The newer the file, the higher this value is. how to make this script to autoload the last .log file, as it has the highest value in its name.

Actionscript 3.0 :: Reference Break When Load The Main .SWF Of The Gallery Into Another .SWF Within The Base Directory

Nov 20, 2009

I'm having issues with references. I'll do my best to explain the problem simply. I have a website I'm currently working on in flash. I've created the base of the site and most of its content. It functions fine. I went online and found a decent looking gallery that I wanted to incorporate into the site and it works great also. The gallery is in its own directory.

When I try and load the main .SWF of the gallery into another .SWF within the base directory, the references break. I understand that this is because its being pulled and the gallery's .SWF looks for its assets based on where its located. Is there anyway possible to make a .SWF keep its paths relative to where it is pulled from instead of changing when it is pulled into another .SWF from different directories?
