ActionScript 3.0 :: What Is The Largest XML File That Can Be Loaded Into Flash
May 4, 2009
What is the largest XML file that can be loaded into flash? I have a 14MB XML file that I'm trying to load into flash. It gets to the listener function that listens for the Event.COMPLETE event fine, but in there when I try to set e.target.data to an XML variable I get an error that says one of the tags doesnt have an ending. I know for a fact that it is a well-formed document. So I'm assuming it's cutting some of it off. Is there a size limit for xml files?

So, after just being dumped on from a great height by our development company I need to create an entire site in flash with login and dynamic addition of content etc etc.. What would be the recommended maximum size (pixel wise) for a flash site... what I have here is 1600px sq? It's mostly database driven so shouldn't lag too much from a point of view of file size, I'm just concerned because of the short deadline and I find this kind of large size wise to do 100% in flash..

What is the largest stage that should be used for an entire flash website?
What is the average or most common, and how big can I get away with making the stage?
This is for a site that will be made completely in flash?

How would I do to sort this array by the largest sum and not just the first number?
var myArray:Array = new Array(100, 200, 9);
myArray.sort(Array.DESCENDING)
//puts out (9, 200, 100)
How would I do to get it (200, 100, 9)?

Context: Making a guessing game where up to 20 users guess times. A countdown timer script runs at the game start. As time goes by, flash compares the guess with the real time, moves a movieclip (horse1, horse2 etc) along the x axis and displays an integer (time between the guess and ever changing clock [horse1.displaybox1, horse2.displaybox2, horse3.displaybox3, etc]). This is all working.
How to I display the current closest guesser?
I TRIED to avoid arrays, but doubt I can. JUST learning about arrays and for loops, but found this elegant code to find the max number in an array (or with modification could get the min):
maxValue = function (array) {
mxm = array[0];
for (i=0; i<array.length; i++) {
if (array[i]>mxm) {

i have 2 arrays, a and b... in array a i have a bunch of random numbers.... now i want to loop through array a find which of the elements is the largest. for example if a[4] is the largest number in the a[] then i want b[1] = 4 and so on....
//array a full of random numbers:
a[1] = 4
a[2] = 3
a[3] = 1
[code]....
so if a[4] is the bigest, b[1] will have 4 and if a[1] is second biggest, b[2] will have 1 and so on... is there an algorithm that can do this for me with an array length of X?

I am looking for a way to sort numbers enterred by a user, prefferably in order smallest to largest or vice verser - but at very least to find the smallest & largest numbers of the ones enterred.There are approximately going to be 15 numbers or so.
So for example:
Enterred A = 56
Enterred B = 7
[code]...
when sorted or the other way round (largest to smallest).this could be done with comparrisons but for 15 numbers it would be A LOT of comparisons.

I have a flash file that is 1.5mb in size. As it takes about 6 minutes for someone on dialup to load this file, I have created a smaller swf file and loaded the larger one from it but I don't want the larger one to begin to play until it's fully downloaded. How do I set this up? I have set up the action script 2 as follows: loadMovieNum("top2.swf", 0);

I have loaded a model using the 3DS parser that is already linked to a material and loads fine. I would like to make this model semi-transparent part of the time but not all of the time. I would like to just set alpha = .5 but when I target the materal that is not an option.
Here is the code and using:
var slingPar:Max3DSParser = new Max3DSParser();
var slingLoader:Loader3D = new Loader3D();
sling = new ObjectContainer3D();

I'm working on my first Flash project, and for my preloader I'd like to do a really simple gradient based on the percentage loaded. The preloader says "77% loaded...", where the number 77 is a dynamic text instance called percentLoaded. I'd like the textColor of percentLoaded to change on a gradient from #000000 to #FFFFFF, in gray-scale.Therefore, I can't simply do:percentLoaded.textColor=(currentValue/100)*0xFFFFFF;This just converts the textColor to a multiple of FFFFFF, but outputs a color since it's not three separate components. Currently, here's what I've got:

I am trying to resize a swf file that is loaded into a loader_mc clip. I have tested this in two ways so far:
load_mc.loadMovie(swfUrl);
load_mc._width=210;
load_mc._yscale=175;
Soon as I do this though, the swf does not load. I can do it like this however, but it does not use _width, which is what I need.[URL]..

I am trying to access a button inside an external swf file that I loaded. Problem is every time I try to access this button I get an error saying that it's null!
Here is my code:
public class DocumentClass extends Sprite
{
public var loader:Loader;
public var swfFile:URLRequest;
[Code].....
Now this should work, code-wise I think its correct. The problem is that loader cant find the required button. There is indeed a button in the loaded movieClip with an instance name of "button", I double checked that.
[URL] basically i was just a layer too high and this is why i couldn't access anything..

i have a test website here which has externally loaded files coming into the container on the main index page. the code on the buttons at the top right hand corner have this code on each of them for the externally loaded .swf files to come in:
on (release) {
if (_root.currMovie == undefined) {
_root.currMovie = "contact";
container.loadMovie("contact.swf");
[code].....
and that all works perfectly fine. what my problem is is when i click on the "contact" button and i'm on that page. on the left hand side column towards the bottom, i have a block of text with one red word. i want that word to bring in the f.a.q. page (and replace the contact page i'm currently looking at) which can also be accessed from the top nav. just a little thing, but i wanted to learn how to do it.
i've put the same code into the invisible button that says "faq" which is identical to the code listed above except i changed all instances of "_root" to "_parent" but that didn't do it. i think it's something like that that would have to do with the problem.

I have a preloader.swf that loads another swf (main.swf). It all works fine, however I would like the loading bar to stay on 100 (once it gets there) for 2-3 seconds before the main.swf opens, currently as expected from the code below, as soon as it gets to 100% it flicks straight over to the main.swf.
I am using tweener, and I could achieve this easily using the onComplete code to call this.addChild(loader);, however, the problem is, both my preloader and my main swf are liquid layouts, and if I were to call the this.addChild(loader); at the end in its own function, then it throws a
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
. The only way to get around this error is to put the this.addChild(loader); so that it loads upfront. After a bit of google research, i found this error occurs due to the stage properties already been set in the preloader.swf (from liquid layout)then once the main.swf loads it tries to set them again...So is there another way i can cause a delay for 2-3 seconds once my preloader hits 100?
Below is my preloader code with liquid layout settings
Code:
//LIQUID LAYOUT
stage.align=StageAlign.TOP_LEFT;
stage.scaleMode=StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE;
stage.addEventListener(Event.RESIZE, resizeHandlerLoading);
[Code]....
1. using my tweener onComplete method and fixing the error caused by preexisting stage properties
2. Thinking of an alternate way to delay the main.swf from opening straight away (keeping in mind that this.addChild(loader); would need to stay where it is...
PS - here is a link to a person who was getting the #1009 error with preloader and liquid layout, their solution works, but won't allow me to use a tweener delay...[URL]

everytime I look for ways of sending back to XML changes produced in Flash, the tutorial always assume that we are using a server. Is there a way for having a Flash projector that everytime it starts 1-checks for data to load to the projector 2- lets us do changes to data (add, change and remove xml data) 3- and in the end we can save the changes made to the XML file that was initially loaded?

I was wondering if there is a way to make the actual stage dynamic to the content loaded in the flash file.
Firstly the method I am using is importing a external swf to the stage into a container called container. The main stage, lets call it index, is still on default size, and I want this to expand dynamically as content is loaded in. page1 may be 900px width, page2 may be 500px width, and as I load the content the index stage should expand the width to that of the page loaded. Some steps I have tried but did not work.
if page1 button is pressed stage.stageHeight = 900; - not working (how do I set stage size in as3)made a movieclip in page 1 spanning the page size and called it p1_stage so I can reference the data from there. trace(container.p1_stage.height); gives this error: TypeError: Error #1010: A term is undefined and has no properties. at index_fla::MainTimeline/frame1()

I'm building a flash movie for something at work and im loading in some images using an XML file but when i use a preloader it only preloads the XML file (as in just the text inside) and not the images.
This causes the movie to start playing without having the images loaded.Does anyone have any ideas about how i could get it to preload the contents/images being called in the XML file so it doesn't run as soon as the XML file is loaded.

I am doing this so I can rollover the viewing window and have it appear. I cannot get any code to work to control the timeline (which is broken down into sections with individual MC's in each section.
What I am looking for is the code to apply to the buttons on the external swf file that has the controls to control the playing of the movie.
