ActionScript 3.0 :: Using XML To Save Data
May 12, 2011
I am planning an eLearning project for an AS3 version of a family health history diagram (pedigree/genogram). A major consideration would be whether the diagram (created by the user by their inserting square, circle, other symbols, connecting lines, text labels, etc.) can be saved and re-opened for editing, so the user can build their family health history diagram, edit, change/add to it over time.
I've seen XML mentioned as a possible method for saving data and wondered if it (maybe by adding a server-side script-ASP, PHP) can save/re-open for editing, x,y positions of shapes, line positions, angles, length, type, etc. An SO could also work, but I'm not sure if 100 kb is enough for this data (if the Max storage is not changed in player settings, by each user).

I have an xml file (externally saved) that is similar to the following:
[root]
[main]
[title]...[/title]
[Code]....
What I like to do is to get what's in [title] tag using HTTPservice, import it into Flex, and save it as array objects, and do the same thing for [content]. This way I can later refer the array object saying title[0] or content[2].

I have an Access Database (doesn't need to be Access, I can phpAdmin or mysql, whatever will work) that has a list of names. I want the user to open a Flash form and have the names load up into seperate input boxes for each name. The user can then change the names, move them, whatever, and then save the record. I want it to just overwrite the record. I donlt want create a new record. I cannot, for the life of me, figure this out. I have tried to find some tutorials but nothing makes sense. Is ASP a good way to go? I have been struggling with this for a week now.

I did small program on which the user will type some data into array which should be later on saved onto server or to local machine as an xml file. Now I know that flash cannot save files on its own and it would probably need some php script or something. I've never worked with php and to tell the truth i couldn't fine any articles about this topic. Are there some examples that you can show me the way with??

I plan to create a level editor for the game I currenty work on. Thats no problem at all, but I have no idea, how i could save data for the maps into a server from the .swf and get them back at a later point.And I also would like to know, what kind of a server I would need. Are free ftp servers enough for stuff like this, or are they useless?

I create an area within the site where a user can manually create something from a list of objects, if I, say, wanted to save this data as a number of variables to the server ie- a new row containing all the data unique to that saved item, does anyone know the best method of doing this, I'd figure it'd be XML but resource seems a bit sparse in this area.

I am trying to save user data and I keep on coming up with the same problem. The problem code is highlighted red in the ITEM.as file. The problem is that when I update the variable it updates the savefile also, when it should not! I do not have a clue what is wrong because I am putting the traces for the savefile in one right after the other so the code can't be executing elsewhere right?
SAVE.as
ActionScript Code:
class Save_mc extends MovieClip {
var nSaveAnim:Number = 0;
function onEnterFrame() {

there are 2 items on stage, one is the "button" with instance name myButton and a dynamic text field.so the action script goes this way...
myVar=0;
myButton.onRelease=function(){
myVar++;
trace("click");
}
the dynamic text is initially zero (0) and when i click the button it counts the clicks up to here every thing works right but...when .swf file previewed in html after clicks if refresh is pressed the number is going back to zero.i want to upload this file and use on webpage.

As part of a project I am working on, I would like to know if it would be possible to store some data in the actual flash file.
Let me make this clear now... I DO NOT WANT TO USE COOKIES!
I need to be able to save some data to the SWF itself, NOT to the local computer.
To be more specific, I need to store a set of URL's, but they also need to be added by the file, so...
Lets say i have a button that when you click, will make a text box appear, and you type in some urls such as:
[URL]
I then have a button that says "Save" and this will save these 3 URL's. I then would have the SAME SWF display these URL's (these will be URLs of Images). The important part is, these 3 URLs MUST BE READ by everyone who views the swf afterwards, so if I were to enter some URLS of Images, when someone else views the page, they will see the images that i entered. This is why it cannot be a cookie, as their computer will not see my cookie.
Even if the data cant be stored in the SWF itself, i will need some way to load this information where ever the swf is viewed.

So, I'm creating a quiz, and I'm using shared objects to save their resume data. So far so good. MOST of the various things I put into myso.data work fine. But oddly, two bits of information, specifically a String and an Array of Strings come out as [object][Object] when they are reloaded later. Now, at first I thought that maybe they just weren't getting written correctly, so I thought to trace them out before and after I put them in the SO.
When I do trace(myso.data.sectionName) or even trace(myso.data.sectionNamesArray) the first time (i.e. immediately after they get written, but before closing the window) everything works as expected. But if I trace those same things out upon the reopening of the swf, those things become [object][Object] for the String, and an array of [object][Object]s for the Array. So I thought maybe it was Strings in general, but other pieces of information, also Strings or Arrays of Strings trace out fine before and after. It's just these two pieces.

I would need to save some binary data (bitmap data or similar) as a part of XML file.[code]...
I suppose I must serialize or encode "ba" (binary bytearray data) some way to string before writeing to XML and decode them back during the reading from XML, but I cannot find the correct way how to do it.

I've made a little game in Flash, and I want it to have an online leaderboard. But after looking into it, it seems it's complicated saving a simple .txt file because of security, and the tutorials I have tried to use, using PHP to do it, have not worked, not even the excercise files. So I was wondering if anyone have either a working tutorial or code to save a simple string in a txt file, or know another way of saving data remotely?

I have a stand alone application that would run without a browser on desktop. I would like to write data to a text or database (MYSQL/PHP). Would it be possible for me to extend this functionality to a AS3 Stand Alone Application which would be strictly running on desktop?
