Peek-a-boo, me again. I'm having some trouble with loading in a txt-file and I can't figure out why, as it works in a new .fla file as well. Here's the code in a nutshell:
PHP Code:
goldstar.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, showHS);
var weekrequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("weekscores.txt");
var weekloader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
[Code]...
What is the difference between URLLoader and URLRequest in Actionscript?
View 1 RepliesI need to parse a particular web page every 25 seconds in order to take some particular values that are frequently updated in this web page. I need the parsed values in order to dinamically fill some text inputs components. So I write the following script:
Code:
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.events.TimerEvent;
import flash.utils.Timer;
[Code].....
With this script I'm able to get the webpage and parse the particular line of code that I need but only the first time! When the timer goes to zero the URLLoader function always loads the first version of the webpage and not the one that has been updated in the meanwhile! So I have always the same values! Using the trace function I have discovered that URLLoader loads the first version of the webpage. I don't know what is the problem here. Cache problem? URLRequest or URLLoader problem (maybe I have to clear the previous data?)?
For a game I have build a sequencer. This game is part of a larger system and is loaded into the main application. As soon as the game is loaded, the game is initialised, which creates a new Sequencer instance and initialises the sequencer. During initialisation a pool of Voice instances (in a Vector.<Voice>) is created.The first time the Sequencer is initialised all goes well, but the second time I load the game into the main application and initialise the Sequencer, Flash throws a TypeError stating it cannot convert l.submarine.audio.sequencer::Voice@1f337901 to nl.submarine.audio.sequencer.Voice.To me this is rather odd, since they look like the same type to me. What could be happening here, since I have no clue where to look
View 8 RepliesI am building a simple swf that will load in variables from an asp page using a URLloader and URLRequest. The asp page loads in the current values from a SQL database but these values will change every second. My swf loops every 6 frames and loads the data. How much load this puts on the server? And when the server is busy might this cause a problem with the variables I am reading in?
Does AS3 run all actions on frame 1 before going to frame 2 etc? I don't know if this is the best way but my last variable in the ASP page is called Loaded and I test for it before moving on. My major concern is the load I am putting on the website but is this small? In firefox the status box constantly flickers transferring data from ... and waiting .. but in other browsers you can't see the activity.
there you are, you set up your AS3 code to load XML via a URLLoader and URLRequest, as normal. You then take your XML file, and upload it to a server. You then run your program, and trace out the XML you receive. So far so great, and you see the results of your XML traced out. Then you change something on your XML, either adding to it or removing a line. You then run your program again from CS5.5, and trace out the XML, and it shows the same results that it did before you made any changes. I deleted the XML file from the remote server, and it is like it stored it in cache, and still able to read it. If I change the url or file name, it gives me an error, which it should.
If I point the url back to my remote XML file, and run the program again, it gives me the XML results I had in the beginning, before I made any changes to it (regardless if the XML file exists). The only fix I have found so far, is closing CS5.5, and reopening, and then it can see the changes. I did that, and it was able to see my XML changes on my remote server, but again, only one time. If I try to change anything, or delete the XML file, it still pretends as if its there, reading the results that it read the first time I run the program. Is this a cache issue? Anybody else experience this? I never remember running into this problem using CS5/CS4/CS3, only CS5.5. Of course, I can test it all locally first, and then upload the XML file to the remote server when I know that no other changes need to be made, but still, this is really weird!
I have been creating an Inventory for my game and some thing go wrong... here is my code :

I have written code to read an XML file by using URLRequest and URLLoader in ActionScript 3.0. Code is pasted below. This runs well in AS3.Problem I am facing is because I wrote this in AS3, I am not able to use the DateChooser component in another part of the flash module because it seems like DateChooser component is not supported in AS3. So I want to migrate my below AS3 code back to AS2.
**** Code in AS3 (I need help in writing equivalent code in AS2) :-
var xmlText:XML ;var xmlReq:URLRequest = new URLRequest("myFile.xml");var xmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
So let's say we want to load some XML -
var xmlURL:String = 'content.xml';
var xmlURLRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest(xmlURL);
var xmlURLLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader(xmlURLRequest);
[Code]....
I hate that you can't just say e.target.src or whatever - is there a good way to associate URLLoaders with the URL they loaded data from?
I am trying to setup two variables:
var xmlURLLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
var xmlURLRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest();
I am taking some old AS code and trying to plug it into Flash Builder. I am getting a "Type not found."warning with those variable declarations. Does anyone know which package to import?

I have the following problem. I am trying to load custom PaperVision3D objects from an externally loaded SWF in a simple FLARToolKit example project. The external SWF is compiled with the same libraries included in its path as the loading project. I will include only the pertinent functions in order to save some space. Both the external SWF and the loading project include security definitions to allow for access:

when handling data, i always have to write the following:
var dataSourceRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("/path/file.xml");
var dataSourceLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader(dataSourceRequest);
dataSourceLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, handleDataSource);
while i can understand the usefulness of these 2 objects and event listener being separate, since they often work with each other i'd like to know if there is a method that will combine them all? the closest i can get is this, but it's a bit pointless/nesting:
var dataSourceLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader(new URLRequest("/path/file.xml"));
dataSourceLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, handleDataSource);
what i'd really love would be something that automatically combines the URLRequest, URLLoader and completed event listener like this:
var dataSource:Whatever = new Whatever("/path/file.xml", handleDataSource);
I have a queue of messages that I would like to send to a URL and I would like to remove messages from that queue only after I am sure they have been successfully sent. To do this I need to know in the COMPLETE event for the URLLoader exactly what data was sent so that I can remove the correct message from the queue.That is if I have something like this.
var urlRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest(targetUrl);
var urlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
urlLoader.dataFormat = URLLoaderDataFormat.TEXT;

I am attempting to add a child to the stage with the following code:
Actionscript Code:
//Buttons: Adds movie clip to stage.readtomeShortA1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, playShortAReadMe1);function playShortAReadMe1(e:TimerEvent):void{ var playShortA1:ShortAReadMe1 = new ShortAReadMe1 addChild(playShortA1); playShortA1.x = 307; playShortA1.y = 603;}
When I test the movie the following message appears,
"TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed:cannot convert flash.events::MouseEvent@212a161 to flash.events.TimerEvent," when I click the button ("readtomeShortA1"). Note the instance I am referring to is a button. When the swf is created there are compile errors that appear. The "TypeError....." only happens when I click on the button ("readtomeShortA1").
FYI, there is other code on the page which is below the code in question:
Actionscript Code:
//Button CodebackTo.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, backToShortA);function backToShortA(event:MouseEvent):void{ gotoAndPlay(1); SoundMixer.stopAll();}ForwardTo2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, toPage2);function toPage2(event:MouseEvent):void{ gotoAndPlay("page_2"); SoundMixer.stopAll();}

I have a project where a 3D VR swf created and compiled in Flash Builder that is being loaded into a Gaia site. The Gaia site is being coded in Flash Builder but compiled in the Flash CS4 IDE. In order to use strong typing I have set up a Flash Builder Library project that holds a few interfaces and VOs to be passed between the Gaia site and the 3D VR Component. That library's swc is referenced in all the projects (Flash CS4 IDE and FB).
If I try to pass a typed object from the site to the 3D VR, I get a coercion failed error. The error only happens when the 3D component compiled in FB expects that custom VO object. If I set the function to expect a generic Object type, it works. I can access the values of my custom VO object manually.
The full error is
"TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert components.vr.vo::VRRoomDataVO@4640fec1 to components.vr.vo.VRRoomDataVO."
Is there a trick to share custom VOs between Flash IDE projects and Flash Builder projects?
is there a way to verify that an image file exists at the stated URL before passing that URL to various URLmethods?

when I remove all the as2 code in that swf and compile it as an as3movie, the error is gone... Is my loading code malicious?

i am trying to bring over some classes i made in as2 to as3. i've migrated everything appropriately but keep getting this error:
TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert
ball$ to flash.display.MovieClip. at
test_animateClass_fla::MainTimeline/frame1()
[Code].....
and the .fla loads an external class into it, Animate, which then tries to use addChild() to add a copy of 'ball' to the stage when it's created. a movieClip variable is passed into Animate() from the .fla, which in this case, is the movieClip 'ball'.
why does it have this error converting 'ball' to flash.display.MovieClip?? ball IS a MovieClip already..
I am trying to create an audio that only uses the first entry in an xml file. I have most of the things working but I keep getting an error related to the audio file. TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert "[URL]. at latestMessage_fla::MainTimeline/frame1()
I inserted the url for the file into error message so you can see if there is s problem with that. I was initially trying to use a variable to hold the url for me, because this xml file gets updated every week and I only want to access the most recent entry. This is my first attempt at making an audio player in flash, so I am sure I have made a simple mistake, but for the life of me I cannot figure out what it is.
One last question is in regards to using id3 tags versus xml tags to fill dynamic text fields in the player. Currently I am using the xml file to do this, are there any advantages one way or the other for this. The only reason I ask is that I am hoping to display an "album art" image from the id3 tag in the player. Would it be better to grab all of the information from the mp3 file?
