i'm exporting xml from flash to a file on the server as a URLVariables string. When the file arrives on the server every double quotation mark has been escaped invalidating the xml. I suspect the URLRequest class may be doing this.

[Code]...
lately i've associated a class file (.as) to my movie and immediately after, when publishing the movie i got the following error message: 1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: URLRequest. as well as a couple of other related error messages: 1180: Call to a possibly undefined method URLRequest. 1180: Call to a possibly undefined method navigateToURL. when i remove the link to the class file, the problem goes away. also, i have checked the class file for mentioning of "URLRequest" and nothing is there.
it is possible to use navigateToURL without automatically escaping the url? I want to for example navigate to [URL] and instead it sends me to [URL] witch doesn't work..this is what the documentation says:If System.useCodePage is true, the request is encoded using the system code page, rather than Unicode. If System.useCodePage is false, the request is encoded using Unicode, rather than the system code page.

Flex is trying to find a variable named PROTOCOL, SERVER and FOLDER. I need to prevent this by escaping the curly brackets. Question: How can I escape curly braces?
Does anyone know if there's a workaround to the fact that when you escape fullscreen mode in a browser, the swf seems to lose focus? I'm doing fullscreen video and I have to press the pause button twice when returning from fullscreen. I noticed the same problem with YouTube videos.
View 1 RepliesWhat I'm trying to do here is to build a simple XML document and then submit it to a PHP script.I'm having 2 major problems:
1. Building the XML document. I'm not sure that I'm doing it right. If I don't first create a root node (mapXML = <xml/>; ) then it refuses to create any nodes. I would prefer to create "planet" as the root node, but if I do that instead then it just duplicates it (planet -> planet -> other child nodes....)
2. Even more annoying, it's escaping the quotation marks, no matter what I do. In the final XML document there are backslashes before the quotes.At this point I'm not really certain at what point it's happening, whether it's in the XML parsing or whether it happens when I prepare the data for uploading. I'm submitting a large Base-64 encoded chunk, though, so URLLoaderDataFormat.VARIABLES is out
Code:
mapXML = <xml/>;
mapXML.planet.@id = "1";
mapXML.planet.map.layer.@id = "0";[code]............
I decided I might want to compress the data before base-64 encoding it, since the map data is very large - 500x500 bytes. I tried deflate() with my ByteArray object. Didn't work. Said the method was undefined. Tried compress(). That worked. Why? The docs say it should be the other way around, that compress() only works in AIR. I am not compiling for AIR, and this .swf runs in the webbrowser just fine, compression and all)
I am finding this task challenging in AS3.if I am missing something basic/simple or some builtin method which can do this. I am not well versed with RegExp.I have a DYNAMIC string representing full file path which looks exactly like "d: empabc.doc". I want to extract the filename part from complete string e.g. abc.doc.I am aware of techniques like using "fullPath.lastIndexOf("\")" or regular expressions. The problem is it doesn't seem to work if you have "" in your path. It works with "/". The path being dynamic can't be manipulated to replace "" with "/" or any other delimiter. My interpretation is that since "" is used to escape characters - ANY character appearing AFTER "" is ignored by actionscript. e.g.[code]

i am trying to load text from an XML file to a dynamic textfield inside a flash movie.. if the text written on the XML was something like: this is a text message... then it would work.. but if the text written on the XML was something like: this is a "text" message... then it would return an error...
how can i load XML text that has quotation marks in it to flash?
I've been trying to add quotation marks to a variable for the past hour or so, but I haven't been having much luck. Basically, here is what I am hoping to create:
Code:
blarg = W71;
temp = magic code that I can't figure out
trace(temp); // displays "W71"
I stumbled on a previous case of this [URL], but that method didn't work for variables when I tried it. Adding a + symbol before and after blarg gave me an error.simple way to incorporate quotation marks around my variable?

View 2 RepliesI created a contact form for this Flash site using Actionscipt 2.0 The problem I'm having is that when I try to enter the @ sign (shift+') I get quotation marks and vice versa as if I were using a Mac instead of a PC. This only happens in the contact form and works fine when entered anywhere else such as the address bar or a search engine.
View 1 RepliesI am having issue with my created flash, it can't handle chinese characters? is there some way i can handle this thru code? or should there be any font or language pack installed
View 3 Replies1) Each field in the form only allows 3 characters and no special characters such as @ _ ! . , etc... 2) When the user goes to the next field in the form, the previous field appears blank but the when clicking on that again, the original text appears. 3) When submitting the form, it just keeps saying "in progress" and never shows the confirmation text nor does the email get sent. There is an HTML file included with this form but I am not sure if I need to put that in as I have embedded this form into an SWF file so I don't think I need that code but let me know if I am wrong about this. I am posting both the AS code and PHP code below..

I've got a bug in my code, where a button has to be double clicked to work.Just wondering what is the standard distinction for the difference between single and double click.
my code
ActionScript Code:
ns.seek(0);
subtitles._visible = true;[code].....
the idea is that it runs a function only when the above button is pressed, but it doesn't seem to work the first time you press the button ?

View 2 RepliesI am no longer able to doubleclick SWFs on my PC and have them open up in their own little SWF preview window. It is asking me to choose how I want to open them. There was no option for any Flash player, so I have had to settle for Firefox fo now which is annoying as it has changed all my SWF icons to the FF logo.I have Flash CS3 installed, and use Flash regularly to create banners and things, so this is a pain.
View 2 RepliesUse Double Datatype in flex?
View 2 RepliesI'm tasked with updating a Flex project created by an outside contractor and in the Actionscript is the following chunk:
CONFIG::FLASH_10_1
{
//Some code here
}
I've never seen this type of structure before and I'm having a heck of a time trying to search for it on Google - I've found what it means in just about every programming language except AS3.
I never really dealt with double click in flash, but I've been always thinking it's just the same as any mouse event handling. Here is the simple test code I've made:
ActionScript Code:
package
{
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.events.Event;

I'm really sick of clicking that red circle, but I got no event firing at all. I've changed windows double-click settings, have made another testing mouse listeners (all of them are firing) and all the things...
I have a MC in my project that acts as a popup window only it is really just a movie clip. One that loads hi-res pictures AND... here's the important part....has a startDrag() action attached to it so that the user can move the picture aside if they so desire.However to close this window, I'd like to have the user DOUBLE CLICK with the mouse. They should be able to double click anywhere on the movie clip or even anywhere else... it doesnt matter really. The thing is, how do I listen for a double click in ActionScript??
View 6 RepliesI build a .fla project, and publish a .swf.
If I double click the .swf to play, it opens two .swfs, the one I'm double clicking and one from a previous project.
If I drag the .swf directly to the stand alone Flash Player then no problem, just the one movie.
I could deal with this except now I've sent a client a .swf, and when he double clicks it opens the .swf he clicked on, and one from a previous project I sent that is on his hard drive.
I wand add some code to a button until avoid double click.is there something in as2 like this [code]...
