I'm working on a game, that loads up external text files to create maps. There is a error if the player moves out of bounds, and there is no map to load. All I need is a sort of check to see if the text file actually exists, before loading it
View 3 Repliesi am currently trying to learn ZendAMF, but i have a hard time troubleshooting which makes learning it quite hard. Is there a way to make the PHP file throw an exception that gets traced as an error message in AS3 (not Flex), the only error i seem to be able to get is "Error #2044: Unhandled NetStatusEvent:. level=error, code=NetConnection.Call.Failed", but it tells me jack ****.
i have gotten ZendAMF working, i just want to know how i can make error handling better, so that as an example can use PHP to tell flash that no results were found, or that the typed text was invalid. Is it better to use AS3 to check if the field was filled properly?
I use UrlLoader.load() in my flash app. And I'm handling UncaughtErrorEvent.UNCAUGHT_ERROR to stop the app when an uncaught exception occured. UrlLoader.load() works when you are connecting the internet normally. But if the connection to the internet was lost after your browser loaded the app, SecurityError happens when UrlLoader.load() is called. I can not catch the SecurityError by using try catch and UNCAUGHT_ERROR happens and it stops my app. I don't want to stop the app when UrlLoader.load() failed because I'm just using UrlLoader.load() to log some unimportant information.
And I think timeout error also can be ocurred if it takes a long time to load. And I also don't want to stop my app due to the time out error. How can I solve those problems? And are there more other type of errors which can be ocurred and stop my app?

How do you communicate an error to the web service consumer ?
For example, my web service has a function to insert employee into db.Suppose while inserting the data , the database gave an error,what should be the best way to inform the user about the error.
One way is to depict it through the return value of the web service method but what to do when the function is supposed to return a complex object like employee when there is no error ,and will send an error string when there is an error ?
I'm asking many questions these days but its really urgent
I am doing an application to load xml file into data grid and everything is done now. The only thing left is that i wanna make sure that if the xml file isn't there, the user will not have a runtime error.I have the following code to load the file.
var myXML:XML = new XML();var XML_URL:String = "questions.xml";
var myXMLURL:URLRequest = new URLRequest(XML_URL);var myLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader(myXMLURL);
myLoader.addEventListener("complete", xmlLoaded);
i tried many ways i found on the net using try and catch but didnt work. Anyone can write me the peice of code to hande this error if the file is not there??

View 1 RepliesI'm trying to use the new(ish) AS3 global error handling class. I am trying to use it within a Flex mxml application. I can't get it to work at all. Below is an entire program that shows the problem. I set this to use Flash Player 10.2 and compiled with the Flex 4.5 SDK. I've tried using Flex SDK 4.0 and 4.5 but I get the error in either case. I must be missing something obvious here. This is a normal Flex SWF file that will be shown on a web page. Assuming I could import the UncaughtErrorEvent, I would then do something like this to setup the event handler:

There is a file (php script) stored remotely on the server and I want to read it into flash using AS3.0's URLLoader. However, if I unplug my cable just before reading the file, and attempt to read the file, I want to capture an Error event in some error handler, which would mean "internet connection is down, file can not be accessed". I am reading the AS3.0 documentation now for 2 hours already (mainly: "Handling asynchronous errors in an application" and "Events of URLLoader class"), but I didn't stumble across an example of how to catch an Error event of the URLLoader object when reading a remote file from the server. However I took all possible events I could find (even those which are not necessary at all), and tested them in the following code:
Code:
public function URLLoaderTest( ) {
_loader = new URLLoader( ); // _loader is private var of this class
configureListeners(_loader);
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("url_with_php_script");
_loader.load(request);
[Code] .....
This code traces tons of data, when executed with internet connection up:
Code:
openHandler: [Event type="open" bubbles=false cancelable=false eventPhase=2]
progressHandler loaded:10 total: 30
httpStatusHandler: [HTTPStatusEvent type="httpStatus" bubbles=false cancelable=false eventPhase=2 status=0]
completeHandler data: 1165428133
but it traces NOTHING (?!),
If the connection is down (whether closed by firewall, or cable-unplugged). So that basically means, none of the above events is fired, none of them takes care of the errorHandling in case of no-internet-connection (or if for some reason we can't reach the server atm). Any ErrorEvent i can use to catch such (connection down) Error Event? Or do I have to use Timer class instead to check wether the server responded in some time or not? I would like to leave this as the last option.

i've created a socket extension class. the pseudo code below tries to make a socket connection using the passed parameters. if there is an security error, such as the port number not being an acceptable port number, i want to handle the security error.
however, i can't catch the security error. a popup window appears with a description of the error and my errorHandler function is never called.

Is there a way to handle errors and exceptions in AS3 as one would do so using `set_error_handler` and `set_exception_handler` in PHP?
View 4 RepliesI'm currently trying to make a fun little SWF that lets the user input the URL of an image online, then play around with that image via filters, painting, etc, and save their finished work to disk. However, I'm running into some issues once I upload the SWF online. My SWF works without any problems at all from the Flash sandbox, but once online there seems to be a problem.To overcome the issue of not being allowed to smooth an image loaded from an external source, I am using a URLLoader with dataFormat set to BINARY to load the image. Then I have a regular Loader loadBytes from the loaded data of the URLLoader. This allows me to apply smoothing and chang ethe bitmapData of the loaded image.
This works for a select amount of images online. The problem here is that for most images, the URLLoader never finishes loading, nor does it produce an error. It doesn't even produce a ProgressEvent. The .load method of the URLLoader executes with error.
I have an URL loader with the following code:
public function getUploadURL():void {
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest();
var url:String = getPath();
[Code]....
My problem is that this request might be wrong, and so the server will give me a back a 400 Bad Request, with a message to explain the error. If the Event.COMPLETE, I can see some message (a response) back from the server in the "data" field of the Event, but if onGetUploadURLError or getHttpStatus is called, it just says that the error code is 400 but does not show me the message associated with it.
The "data" field is undefined in getHttpStatus and it is "" in onGetUploadURLError. On the contrary, in getBaseURL, I get: {"ResponseMetadata":{...}} I checked and I do get a similar response in my browser for a wrong request, but I cannot see it.
In Chrome upon network error, the event object in error handler is behaving differently than IE and flash player (i.e. directly running the swf, not from the browser). Consider the following test code :
private function loadData():void {
var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
loader.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, onError);[code]....
In IE and flash player, debugField shows error : Error #2032: Stream Error. URL: http:[url]... but in Chrome it is error : Error #2032That is URL is stripped from the text. Why this is differentany way to get the URL in error handler? Or is this a bug of Chrome itself?My Chrome version is 5.0.375.86
When my PNG encoded data is sent to my uploader php file its throwing an error the very first time and only after I havent done it in a while... half an hour maybe... it says this:
Code:
Error opening URL 'http://apps.mydomain.com/jpg_encoder_download.php?name=mytest10.png'
Error #2044: Unhandled ioError:. text=Error #2032: Stream Error. URL: http://apps.mydomain.com/jpg_encoder_download.php?name=mytest10.png
Then when I press the button a second time it goes through fine. If I close and re-test the movie its fine the only way to reproduce it is to wait a while and try it for the first time. Any clues whats causing this?
I'm trying to streamline my error reporting for internal testing. When I use URLLoader/URLRequest to load a page that responds with the 500 HTTP status code, I catch it with the IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, but can't find a way to get the response body. Unlike with Event.Complete, loader.data (My URLLoader) is an empty string.
Yes, I can use Fiddler/Firebug to get the actual response, but this would be good to catch intermittent/hard-to-reproduce errors when I don't have these running.
For a client, I am working on a project where a live RTMP stream is published to an Adobe FMS 3.5.6 server from a java application, using Red5 0.9.1 RTMPClient code. This works fine, until the timestamp becomes higher than 0xFFFFFF after 4.6 hours, and the RTMP extended timestamp field starts being used. I have already found: when the extended timestamp was written after the header, the last 4 bytes of the data were being cut off. I have fixed this locally, and now the data being sent seems to me to be conformant to the spec. However, FMS still throws an error message in the core log and then kills the connection from the Red5 client. Here is the error message:

I've developed a preloader for an ActionScript 3 application that uses URLLoader to load an encrypted swf. This has been tested on different OSs, Flash Players and browsers and everything works as expected except for a series of PCs being used by a colleague on a corporate network. The PCs at fault use Flash Player 10.0.22.87 with IE6 on WinXP and get security sandbox error #2048 depending on the contents of the file being loaded! Some of the tests and results include:removing 99% of the contents but keeping first 6k (works)replacing contents with 4 bytes 00 (works)inserting 16 bytes: EF BB BF <html></html> at beginning of file (works)inserting 16 0s at the beginning of the file (fails)xor FF all bytes (fails)I've tried other tests such as different file extensions, Security.allowDomain(), crossdomain.xml, Security.loadPolicyFile(), dataFormat = URLLoaderData Format.BINARY etc but I think these are all irrelevant due to the fact that the app sometimes works.The code is just the standard new URLLoader(), adding event listeners, then calling load(new URLRequest()). The test app doesn't include the loadBytes() so this isn't the issue either.
The PC at fault could be behind a firewall or using a proxy. At this stage my only theory is that their antivirus, firewall or proxy is examining the contents and sometimes decides to intervene, perhaps with a redirect. This would also explain why (according to the web server logs) the files are being requested even though the security sandbox error is generated. However, this does not explain why Flash generates the error in the first place, depending on the contents.It's not possible for me to visit on site or get them to modify their settings or configuration, but I can ask them to run various Flash Apps for testing.URL...I can come up with a workaround (such as ensuring the file always starts with dummy <html> tags and then strip them before decrypting), but I'd prefer to get to the bottom of this issue if possible to be confident it won't occur again; this is for a Facebook application so it's possible it will be used in a large variety of environment
In Adobe AIR 1.5, I'm using URLLoader to upload a video in 1 MB chunks. It uploads 1 MB, waits for the Event.COMPLETE event, and then uploads the next chunk. The server-side code knows how to construct the video from these chunks.
Usually, it works fine. However, sometimes it just stops without throwing any errors or dispatching any events. This is an example of what is shown in a log that I create:
Uploading chunk of size: 1000000
HTTP_RESPONSE_STATUS dispatched: 200
HTTP_STATUS dispatched: 200
Completed chunk 1 of 108

I�m getting Error #2032 when my URLLoader complete event finishes firing. What I can�t figure out is why. The complete event fires successful (I ran a number of trace statements to make sure it made it all the way to the end of the method with no error) and I�m not getting any helpful output when I trap the IOError. Here is the error message:

I'm creating a flash basketball bracket that I need to submit the picks to a MSSQL database on an ASP.NET server. Every time, I get the #2032 Stream Error, which usually means the URL doesn't exist (which it does). The thing that chaps my behind is that if I trace the url and the variables, then paste that into a browser window, the database updates perfectly, just as I want it to. My code is below. Of course, the tournament is ten days away and I've been stuck here for a week, so if anyone can see what the heck is going wrong, please let me know.

which everything seems fine, but when i implement a slider on a page inside a folder in the root (i.e. aboutus/index.aspx) i get that error when the slider is trying to call the images.I have similar slider animations in pages located in the root folder and in those i get no problem at all, seems it only happens when the page is located inside a folder.The website is done using main.master on asp, maybe the cache or rendering of the website is missing something, hope someone has had something similar or know how to get around this.

I have a problem with event handling. I'm working on a calendar, on which events can be listed. With actionscript i loop through an XML file with the days (and if there, the events for that day). So far so good. Where it goes wrong is this: I only want to display blocks with the day numbers on it. When you click on a day, a box pops up and shows the event's for that day.
This is what i did: created a movieclip with classname mc. loop trough the xml file and for each day create a new instance of mc with the day number as text on it. This al works, but now i want to add an eventhandler for each day. How to do this?
