ActionScript 3.0 :: Turning Off Caching For Loading A Text File
Jan 29, 2009
I'm trying to turn caching off so when I reload the text file, it always gets a fresh copy. I keep getting compiler errors however with the useCache line. I'm not accessing the properties correctly or something. When I take out that line it works fine but always fetches the cached file.
My code is:
loadDoctorVariables();
function loadDoctorVariables() {
var requestJo:URLRequest = new URLRequest("
http://www.grxsolutions.com/gtslideshow3/"+doctorURL+".txt");

I made a Flash-based "news section" for my website. This file uses a text field (with render-as HTML) and an instance name of dynamicText. The actionscript fills this text field with content from a TXT file called homeNews.txt.Everything works great, except if I make additions to the TXT file and re-upload to the server, the Flash file still calls an old version of the TXT file from my cache. This even happens after emptying the cache. This is a huge problem if I need to add daily updates. This problem only occurs on the server and not when testing locally.
Here is the code I put in my Flash file:
Code:
Ext_text = new LoadVars();
Ext_text.onLoad = addText;
Ext_text.load("homeNews.txt","POST");

Using Actionscript 2, I'm a bit new to all the scripting stuff.I have a loader loading a couple of flash movies like this:loadMovieNum("sound.swf", 1);loadMovieNum("logo.swf", 2);loadMovieNum("mainmenus.swf", 3);Those 3 movies I need to go to the main section of the site. However, I would like the loader to also load the remaining movies needed to further navigate the site, but without displaying them now Kind of like 'caching' the rest of the site, so when the access is needed, there's no load time.

I have updated the crossdomain.xml security settings for my site - but it seems that the older version is being cached in both IE and Chrome.I've checked the headers sent by the server and it's not sending any cache control headers that would be forcing the browsers to be caching crossdomain.xml.
In an attempt to get around the issue I've also linked to my crossdomain.xml file in an iframe on the site. This hasn't worked though and flash still seems to be using the old security settings.

i have a dynamic text field which is filled by a list of attributes pulled from an external xml file... this is working fine... i would like to now turn each of these text attributes into a 'button', essentially giving them all event listeners but have no idea where to start for this...? can you turn text field data into interactive objects? or is there a better way to turn xml data into links?

I made a gallery with an XML file but the problem is that after viewing it on the web and modifying the XML I don't see any difference...it's like I never even modified it...I'm guessing it's because the browser reads the XML file from the cache...how can I make the flash movie read the XML from the web every time it loads?

I have a dynamic text box that is loading in a text file. It seems to be doing this perfectly well. However, some HTML tags seem to break it. <b> makes the text dissapear. I tried doing a <span> on it, and changing the font-family with CSS, but I dont think its reading the CSS at all.

I have this PHP page that lists several people. When someone clicks on one of the people they are sent to another PHP page that has their video greeting in a .swf embedded into the page. This works by the php writing the path to the greeting video to the xml file that the .swf loads and plays.
Well in firefox it works perfect, but in IE when they try to click on another greeting the original greeting still plays. Its like the swf is caching the first greeting and refresh of the page does nothing to alleviate this. Is this a problem with the swf caching? or XML caching? or am I totally clueless?

When using the "Display data from an external file" tutorial from this site, I ran into a problem. It loads the text, but it only loads a certain number of characters... I am trying to load a few paragraphs of text but it stops loading halfway through the text file.Can someone please tell me how to get it to read the whole text file?I need it to read from a text file, so xml is out of the question. it must be editable by someone with no computer knowledge so I'm trying to make it as easy for them to change as possible.I am in a rush to fix this problem i'm having. I am searching, but hopefully someone will be able to give me a fix that will make it quicker.

the variables from the text file are loaded in swf and in dreamweaver the swf throws an error
Error: Error #2101: The String passed to URLVariables.decode() must be a URL-encoded query string containing name/value pairs.
at Error$/throwError()
at flash.net::URLVariables/decode()
at flash.net::URLVariables()
at flash.net::URLLoader/onComplete()
I understands this is because of flash player security and need to place crossdomain.xml file. but the my doubt is where to post my crossdomain.xml file in the local machine(to check the swf) and also in my website for the rest.

Which is a more easier/simpler/preferred/more control way of dynamically loading a text from a txt file?
1. Put a dynamic text Var as: text
PHP Code:
loadVariablesNum ("text.txt", 0);
2. A dynamic text instance as: text
PHP Code:
loadVariables("text.txt", _root.text);

I'm loading text dynamically from a .txt file ( the font is embeded, verdana 10px, and it is rendered as HTML ). The problem is the following: the HTML tags work quite well but with some exceptions. I can't use <b> <i> <u> ( and maybe other options either but these were the ones I was playing around with ).

I'm creating a flash portfolio, I have small image icons, each icon when clicked on loads a diff. swf file, image gallery that loads bigger external images. I would like a different external text file to load every time a diff. image gallery loads, for some reason I cant find the answer to my problem,
I would like to add some actionscrpt to each icon/button so it will load a new txt file when clicked on.
(each image icon is a button and has the instance name of icon 1, 2 etc.)
the code goes like this;
stop();
menuHolder.loadMovie("retail/photoViewer.swf")
loadMovie ("retail/photoViewer.swf", "_root.menuHolder");

Code:name=Kirupa Chinnathambi&email=blah@blah.com&location=EarthI've tried to make it neater by putting a few line breaks here and there. But it causes the movie to not work. So, is there any way to not write the text in an external file in one super long and disgusting line? It's quite hard to edit the text when you have many variables.Question 2How do you use the basic HTML text formatting functions in an external .TXT file? I'm talking about stuff like:
Code:
