I am creating a CBT course using Flash CS4 As3. I need to capture progress information from the user as they complete each unit in the course so that the next time they access the course they can pick up where they left off.
To do this I need to know how to write and retrieve this information to and from a text file or a cookie so that it can be retrieved re-enters the course.
So I want to trace info out of a textfile and into flash but I'm having some trouble
info.txt
Code:
&money1=40
&money2=50[code]......
Is it possible to record speech in AS3 and to write the spoken words into a textfile or something? Or maybe record something twice and compare this to each other? Like if I would record the word "Hello" and then the word "Hi" and it returns me a false or something like that.
View 5 RepliesI am wondering if it is possible to use RegExp to retrieve info from a web site. I want to retrieve hurricane information from a web site by "scanning" the site for longitude, latitude information and have it return it to a text box on my app. Any ideas?
View 2 RepliesI have the following code
Code:
//import fl.events.ListEvent
myDataGrid.addEventListener(ListEvent.ITEM_CLICK, clickHandler);
function clickHandler(e:ListEvent):void
[Code]....
When I run this I get an error on the first click and any next click on a row will give me the cell data of the previous click (so I'm one step behind).
What should I do to get the data from the cell to show up in my text field?
Currently I'm setting up a webservice, which includes a login to access the member area.I'm testing all components seperately, and I've ran into a problem. When the user logs in I want flash to retrieve the user_id as a variable, so that I can use this user_id for member related database access. However, I'm having problems with retrieving the user_id.The login is done by inputting the email and password of the user. If these variables match the data in the database the user is send to the member area. I want to get the user_id by posting the email variable to a php file. In the php file the following code is responsible for this:
PHP Code:
$email = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST["email"]);
Im sorta beginner at AC3 and i've made a little FLA file wich i a want to compile and upload to a host for load it to my website.However, before i compile it i would like to put restrictions for it not to be loaded from other sites it might be requested by flash insert methods or whatever.Is there a way to retrieve info about the site or location the flash (swf) is being requested to be loaded/run?
View 2 RepliesI am scratching my head because there isn't much out there even in the forum on something this simple.[code]...
Here is what I am trying to accomplish I am able to retrieve these variables from the txt file that is stored with the SWF file and display them, I am unable to allow the user to change a line "item" and then have them save it amending the TXT file.
So the goal is to have this list on multiple office computers so that you can go in add an item to the list it then updated the TXT file so the next user can open up the flash file see the list and even add or remove an item.
The TXT file is going to be stored on a private drop box folder that is available on all computers concerned. ( If it's going to be easier than putting it server side )
I have some scrolling content (info). I've also made my own scroll bar.I want the scrollBar dragger to be positioned in relation to the info._y as the user scrolls info.I have created two vars: one that worsk out where info._y is as a percentage and the other that works out where the scroll._y dragger should be as a percentage...
Actionscript Code:
var scrollBarPercent = Math.round(scrollBar.dragger._y / [code]........
also onMouseWheel working too.I need a small bit of code that takes the % of info._y and moves the scrollBar dragger to the same % but in relation to the Stage.height...so if projectGalleryPercent = 50%, make dragger._y 50% of Stage.height using scrollBarPercent.
I'm trying to read a XML file and output the values, but i'm getting a 1120: Access of undefined property URLRequest. error.

hi guys! just asking how to save text to textfile using AS2.
View 1 RepliesOkay so I am new to using txt files, and not too great with arrays, but I think I should have this right. But when I try to trace the array, I get undefined!I found this on another thread, and changed it accordingly.
Code:
_root.textArray = new Array();
_root.text_lv = new LoadVars();
[code]...
I have a variable which takes a particular form of array (used with the component DataSet). It looks like this:
Code:
var recData = [{svenska:"Hej", spanska:"Hola"}, {svenska:"nej", spanska:"no"}, {svenska:"ocks�", spanska:"tambi�n"}];
I want to extract this variable from a textfile instead of writing it directly into the code-area of the flash-file, so I used the following code:
Code:
// 1) Loads the textfile, recieves the array, and puts it into a variable called txt_Data
var txt_DataSet = new LoadVars();
[Code]....
Unfortunately it seems the array gets converted to an ordinary string in the process, so I cant use it properly. Is there a way I could extract the array from this string again, and if so, how?
What I'm wanting to do is set the scale of a textfile (putted in an mc) at 200% and scale with a prototype on release of a button to 100 precent (its height).

View 2 RepliesIn have an application that uses buttons t0 load different text files. The problem is when I load the second text file I still get variables from the first one showing. To clarify things, suppose I load a file that displays variables 1 through 5 randomly when I click one button, then I click a second button in order to load a file that displays 6 through 10. The problem is that I still get some variables from 1-5 when I want to get only 6-10. Is the first file kept in memory or something? How do I unload or clear the temp/memory where the content of the first file is held.

I'm trying to load data from an external textfile, called "config_flash.txt". It works perfectly if applying the fetched data is done within the same function where the loading is done. However, I would like to use the fetched variables in other parts of the script.
Here's what works:
Actionscript Code:
var varLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader(new URLRequest("config_flash.txt"));varLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,

So, basically I want the variables/values defined inside the function to be available anywhere in the script. The error that the second code snippet causes is as follows: "1120: Access of undefined property text1/text2".

I have scoured the internet in search of an answer but everything I find doesn't work. Take this example:
Code:

myData.onLoad = function(done) {

var wordsArray:Array = words.split(",");

When I run the above code the Output window displays Undefined.
I'm trying to load variables from an external .txt file into Flash MX and this is the code I'm using:
links = new LoadVars();
links.load("assignLinks.txt");
links.onLoad = function(success){
if(success) {
diovan = links.diovan;
diovanhct = links.diovanhct;
}}
trace(diovan);
trace(diovanhct);
(The text file has the following content: diovan=whatever&diovanhct=whateveragain&)
The trace outputs "undefined" for both variables. I also tried loadVariables instead of loadVars... same result. If this is a problem specific to Macs, whats the work around?
I want to load the same external textfile in two different textfields. No problem. My freaky question is: Can I adapt the text a little in one of the two fields, more specifically: leave out the last three symbols/letters? For instance: Elvis would have been dead if he was still alive >>> and: Elvis would have been dead if he was still alive The only trick I can think of is embedding the font, but not embedding the > sign. Is that possible? I am using Verdana here.
