I have one file in a folder. I want to access that file but all I know is the extension. How would I link that file? At the moment, I have:
new URLRequest("music/*.mp3")
I have also tried various others such as:
new URLRequest("music/'*'.mp3")
new URLRequest("music/*.*")
When I put the actual link in such as:
new URLRequest("music/song.mp3")
It works perfectly fine, though.
how to trace the current swf path, or the parent folder name in AS3?
View 3 RepliesI am using Flash CS3 and Actionscript 2.0.I want to make a photo.jpg that is in my images folder load into a swf that is in a swf folder. It works fine when I have the photo.jpg in the same folder as the swf. But it does not work when I have the photo.jpg in a different folder. What must I do to the AS2 to make this happen? Here is the path: mcLoader.loadClip("swf/images/photo1.jpg",mcHolder);
View 11 RepliesSo I'm building a drop down menu, and I'm done, almost, all I need is to link everything. The tutorial uses action script:
on(release){
getURL("http://www.something.com",_blank)
}
so it works for me when I enter actual website (ie coldplay.com) BUT I'm trying to link everything from my computer, this to be more specific: F:ColdplayWebFinalcoldplay.html
But it DOESN't WORK and I spent so much time building everything. Is there any way to make it work?
My teacher gave me the task of making an interactive touch screen flash for an open day at my school, i can easily do most of the things to make this work but two things evade me.
He wants the writing in a word document linked so he can easily change what the document says without re exporting the flash.
He also wants me to be able to make the pictures from a document appear in a slideshow without adding each individual picture in a random order as a screen saver effect.

View 2 RepliesWhat I have is some actionscript that displays an image from an external folder. All I have to do is specify the location of the folder, e.g,
Code:
var path = "icons/"
However, this is going to be used as a widget that people can embed on their site, I can specify the full URL to the icons folder and the app works, but to save bandwidth I've imported the images into the flash library under the folder "icons". All I need to do is set the path variable to the icons folder in library and it should work by the loading the images from the library rather than loading the images from my site.
I've previously worked for commercial companies and when developing a Flash Actionscript 3 class path, we would use the industry standard such as: com.companyname.* for where we stored out classes, and set up the directory structure with the com folder being the top level. Now, I'm working for a company who's URL ends with .org should I make the top level folder org or leave it as com? What about people who make classes for educational systems, do they use edu or com?
View 1 RepliesActually I am the application is for recoeding live stream. The recorded videos are placing in the folder named live_test as specififed above.But I want to change this path. There is a folder named public in the root directory. In the "public" folder we have a folder named Recorded_Videos, I need to place the recorded videos on this folder. How can I do this.Another issue that occurs while recording is NetStream.Record.noAccess. This is occuring while the recorded video is placing on client's flash media server with the path that i specified above. But when i running it in the local flash media server(developer version), its working well. The recorded files are placed on live_test folder. In the client's server the stream is not recording, instead its showing an error like "NetStream.Record.noAccess". The code that I am using for recording live stream is follows:
stop();
var nc = new NetConnection();var CommPage = 'http://68.233.8.57/videos/destination';System.security.allowDomain(CommPage);

I'm trying to solve an Actionscript problem using E4X.I have an XML like this one:
<root>
<person firstname="john" lastname="doe" age="21" />
<person firstname="jayne" lastname="doe" age="35" />[code]....
I want to have just one function search() that takes three parameters (firstname, lastname, age) and return an XMLList. So the result could look like this:
var result:XMLList = xml..person.(@firstname == firstName && @lastname == lastName && @age == age );
But I don't want to use all three parameters all the time. I would like to have a function that uses a 'wilcard' if the parameter is NULL. So if the wildcard would be "*" the function could look like:
searchPerson( firstName:String ="*", lastName:String = "*" , age:String = "*") {...}
so that I would only pass 'John' for the firstName I'd get the first and the third node in return.
When I use swfobject (or, for that matter, publish from Flash)...if my HTML file is in the same folder as my Flash .swf (called "bin")...the flash file displays as a blank white page. I can tell the .swf is on the page, because when I right-click I see the flash context menu...however, the swf is blank. So the path isn't written incorrectly.If I move the HTML file inside the "bin" folder and change the path from "bin/myFile.swf" to "myFile.swf" everything works again...what gives?I think it might have something to do with using the Loader class...I am using loaders to loader external .jpeg files. But I don't know what to do about this other than to keep my HTML files in my "bin" folder which is a bit of a pain.

When declaring a variable to have an open datatype, is there any difference, especially a performance difference, between typing a variable as a "wildcard" (I'm not sure of the official name for this) and typing a variable as an Object?
