ActionScript 3.0 :: Variable To Determine Which Xml To Load In A Given Site.
Apr 7, 2009
I have a flash piece with all of the text loaded dynamically through xml.I also have several versions of the same xml translated into different languages (Russian, Japanese ect). Using this loading method, or others if one is better than the next, how do I set a variable to load in the specific xml for the specific site.Other words: Five different site versions, five different xml, using only the one flash file, as opposed to a different flash piece for every different xml... The Flash piece is unchanging except for the xml that is fed in.
Code:
import flash.net.URLLoader;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
var xmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
var xmlData:XML = new XML();
I am developing a movie, wherein the value of a variable changes over time. I wanted to determing whatever the new value is, immideatly after the value changes, and play a movie clip. Is there a ready-made function for this purpose?
i have a game inwhich a bait is thrown determined by a variable of a power meter, when the meter is full it returns a variable of 1 when half 0.5 and when low near 0, how can i use this to determine how far my "bait will be thrown" onto the screen? i have tried how ever the X value would not be consistent with my fishing rod placement, and when the point is decided i will have to move my bait to that point and stop.
I am using an external preloader to load up my main SWF from the same directory that the preloader is loading from. This is my custom class that I used based off of the adobe docs example for using Loader objects.I implemented a maxRetries variable as you can see, but how on earth do I make use of it and where do I perform the retries?Do I detect the Http status code and perform a retry based on whether it was a 200 or 0, or do a I do it in the IOError or what?
I'm pretty new/bad at actionscript (3) for web. I have a site up for a client/friend [URL], but it takes FOREVER to load. I'm under the impression that a good way to make the site load faster is to load in swf's externally. Right now, the site, in its entirety, is one big movieclip. I have large images (movieclips) for background images. If you look at the site and are kind enough to wait for it to load (aprox. 45 seconds or so) you will notice how the background image changes when you click to go to each section.
I am trying to find a way to load in the background as external .swf's to cut down on the initial load time. I'm also open to any other ideas. Below is the as3 code for my buttons/how they direct the site. I'm hoping to use a similar/generic style to load the background images. I'm hoping to load the movieclips underneath the rest of the site, and use the same naming scheme (e.g. homeBTN.swf) to keep it organized.
I make simple site but I have a little trouble with loading images. As you can see with new category there is new image. There is a problem, beacause only then img is loading, and I want to load all images when my site is loading. sample code how I operate with those img.
imgUrls.push("img/01.jpg"); imgUrls.push("img/02.jpg"); var k3:Boolean=false;
I have a whole lot of small flash movies with text.I want to make a site that is bilingual, that is, have the user navigate thru an English version or a French version.I've been told the best way to do this is to create a global variable for the Frech button and another for the English on the opening Flash screen, which is also the parent swf. Then as each movie is loaded I should use an if/then statement to send the user to appropriate frame/s.

BUT not sure how to construct the first script. and where to put the if/then script?
I'm trying to combine PHP/SQL and Flash. I've got a problem now. I want to load a variable that contains an url to an image. so the variable is like this: [URL] Now I want flash to load the image, not the text. The variable is called 'img1' but the loadmovie function doesn't work when I put it in.
I am trying to implement paypal payment in as3. But the return variable conflicts with an as3 keyword. So how to set return variable for returning from paypal to merchant site.
I am currently using to in a sound player in an on the homepage of an html/asp website. At the moment it plays some welcome audio when the visitor arrives on the site (index.asp), however it does get an little annoying when it plays everytime you go onto the homepage.
Is their any way of setting a session variable in actionscript that only plays the audio once when using the site?
My flash site works but takes too long to load. Could you tell me if there are any settings I could adjust to somehow compress the file and shorten the loading time?
I can't seem to load a swf from another domain. I'm not doing this from another flash file or anything. Just a page on SiteB.com trying to load a swf to display on SiteA.com. That flash file on SiteA.com does load an xml file from SiteA.com though using the full path to the xml file (domain and all). This is my crossdomain.xml file that has been placed on the main level of the domain:
is there any who know how to load the site by itself (the swf). I don't speak about loading an external source (jpg, mp3, xml, etc...) in AS2 it was with getBytesLoaded and getBytesTotal in AS3 it seems to be bytesTotal from URLLoader class but don t know how to use it to load the site by loading the site, I mean, I guess, loading the librairy of th swf.
I'm trying to convert this PONG code so I can load this into an AS2 swf site. Anyone have any recommendations on where I could go to brush up on my AS1 it looks so foreign to me compared to AS2/3!
I'm having trouble getting my swf to load its xml data on a site. It seems like the swf is properly embedded if only for the fact that I can click on the invisible link it has to another part of the site. However, the rest of the slideshow won't start online but does locally. I've checked to see if relative or absolute references are the problem and it doesn't seem to change anything.[URL]
i want to load a swf file in my project & i want it load only at the first time . i want in next time when i click button, project show me swf's that was loaded beforei use different buttons with this script and different swf files:
I made a preloader that works perfectly to load one of my .swf's on my machine, but how do I make it work on a site? I'm mocking up a site currently just using local files.
winning designer, went about building a portfolio website. He left for Vermont and me hanging. When loaded, in browser, it will not start automatically and load the first page. When I load it up in Flash CS5.5, and preview it does not work at all, I think it is something to do with finding swf in the location. Oh, and one other thing the components that make up my portfolio works it just the main page. SO, the question is where did I do wrong? [URL] code for the main page
My problem is this: I built a Flash website, but it is painfully slow to load up (3-5 minutes) when I visit the site (via Firefox, etc). Once it does load up, everything is fine with navigation, etc. I'm having a hard time figuring out why its taking so long to load up on the web because, basically, I don't know how to trouble shoot.Details: the site is just a portfolio site with pictures and a few motion-things, no complicated animations. The swf file is about 9MB. I do have a flash preloader, but it doesn't show up until after the 3-5 minute "load-up" time. When I do the testing via Flash, its Ok and doesn't show the lag. But once I upload the website files and try to visit my website, the load time problem occurs.My thoughts: do I have to purge my Flash file/library of unused images before creating my swf file? Is there a problem with my html code in my index fil Just in case, here is the html code:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
I want to load some text data from a third party web site (I guess I need to use URLLoader) but everything I'm reading says the Flash player security will prevent this because it's coming from a different domain.isn't there any way around this? How else could a Flash RSS reader work - you can't possibly get all web site sources to include a cross-domain policy file. I would have to believe there must be some way to load text from an arbitrary URL.
I am an Actionscript newbie - is this is possible,
I have a fla file which is loading external swf files from my local folders.I inserted some of the swf files to a web site and tried to load them from the site, not from my local folder...So it gave me a security error like below:
*** Gvenlik Sanal Alan °hlali ***security domain-area violation http://www.celiktek.com.tr/KIRIL.swf' SecurityDomain esi -- security domain element, 'file:///C|/Users/Acer/AppData/Local/Temp/Untitled%2D1.swf' uyumsuz baÄŸlamına erieye
I'm trying to load an swf placed on Amazon S3 ([URL]) into an swf on a different domain ([URL]), and it throws this error SecurityError: Error #2121: Security sandbox violation: Loader.content: [URL] cannot access [URL]. This may be worked around by calling Security.allowDomain. at flash.display::Loader/get content()
I built a website in Flash (CS5/AS3) and published it to a .swf and .html file. I then uploaded to my host and tested. My site displays fine in Firefox and IE, but appears as an empty page when attempting to view in: The site will load, but isn't visible for me until I double click in the browser window or minimize/maximize the window... The site also loads fine if I access it through a hyperlink. This one's really got me confused! Any more ideas?
