ActionScript 3.0 :: XML Data Read By AS3 Being Cached By Browsers
Sep 29, 2008
We have a flash app (AS3) that reads some data from a local XML file and displays it in a cool way. The problem is that the browser(s) seem to cache this XML data, i.e. when we revisit the page containing the flash, it is rendered using out of date data (the XML file is updated regularly). We find we must visit the URL of the actual XML file and hit refresh (CTRL+F5) to get the new XML to load, and then go back to the page with the flash to see it rendered with the up-to-date data. Is there a way to remedy this? Perhaps the solution is like the one used to prevent caching of Javascript, i.e. appending a random GET param to the URL?

I have about 50-100 flash elements on a page which are audio players that play only one audio each that are different from each other.Whenever a user clicks one of the player buttons, the audio either streams or loaded as a single mp3.I would like to know how browsers handle swf or audio that is on a page. If 50 of the players are clicked at 10mb each and not all at once, then I can imagine that there would be 500mb stored in the browser eventually as cache.If the browser only has 100mb to cache, how does it work? Does it delete the other swf or audio in cache or does it cause issues to the browser such as crashing or slowing down the computer, etc.

My problem is that once flash reads an XML, it then wont read the XML again but rather uses a cached copy. This causes problems as I want it to update a record number in the XML.
My flow of data is like this:
1)Flash reads (and presumably caches) an xml file.
2)User enters data into flash (including update data for xml).
3)Flash sends data to PHP.
4)PHP edits XML file (adds a line and updates a record #).
5)Repeat above.
In practice what happens:
I have a recorded number recorded in the XML. (say 10)
Flash reads the recorded number from the XML. (still 10)
Flash updates the recorded number (now 11)
Flash sends the number to PHP which updates the XML (so XML is now 11)
When process is repeated: Flash uses cached XML so reads record number as 10!!

I am working on a page the allows the user, once logged in,to upload information and a picture. The picture is saved as his/her username, and if they upload a different picture, the old one is still displayed unless they leave the site and come back 10+ minutes later.I tried the HTML no-cahce headers and they don't even help load a new (up-to-date) version of the main movie.This should have an easy solution, that Adobe should have
addressed if they expect flash to be capable of being a dynamic site with user interactivity.

I'm trying to read some data in from a sql source, some of which contains double quotes embedded in the text. I know I can strip the doublequotes, but don't want to go that route if I can avoid it. I've tried replacing to double quotes with hex codes before passing the text via parameter to my flash file, but the text string always cuts off at the hex code, the same as if the double quote were present in the string. For example:This is a "text" stringreplace double quotes with hex: This is a x22textx22 stringesults when read into flash: This is a <remainder is dropped>Yet if I type the same text string in a variable in flash, the string displays the double quotes properly:

I'd like to persist a list of favorited items for all browsers on the user's machine.
Cookies are too volatile, and localStorage, while useful, does not move between browsers.
Are Flash's Local Session Objects my best bet?

I inherited a flash website about a year ago.. not sure what version it was originally done in. I've made changes on the model last year using CS3 Flash Action script 2, but don't remember the flash version when published. The audio in question is the music that plays in the background when you get on the website:
[URL]
When I changed the image of the model this last week using CS4, I published it as Flash8 actionscript 2... now, the music plays on Mac Safari and Mac Firefox, but not on the Windows versions of IE or Firefox..
this is the code called sound control
onClipEvent(load)
{
_root.soundstatus="on";
_root.mySound = new Sound(_level0);
[Code]....
then there's the stop() that's used when the music is toggled off..
I've tried updating the flash player in Windows to the latest release, and I even tried republishing as flash 10, just not sure where to troubleshoot this..

I have a slideshow.swf (I cannot change it contents, there is no .fla) which gets input from slideshow.xml and finds pictures to display in a folder called 'images' . Pretty basic for a flash picture gallery.
The problem: I want to load the slideshow.swf into a loader component in another flash movie, say holiday.fla. (So i have the loader component in holiday.fla and I tell it to load the movie slideshow.swf). How can i tell the slideshow.swf file where to find its data e.g. slideshow.xml? or How can i have slideshow.swf read from slideshow.xml?

I'm using sendAndLoad to send data from a Flash form to a PHP script. The PHP script will search an SQL database and return the results, in XML, to Flash for parsing. The problem is I'm completely stuck on how to extract the sent Flash information with PHP. It's a single tag with attributes.

I'm new at Flex and I wanted to know how to read an xml file to pull its data into a chart, using Flex Builder 3.Even though I've read and done some tutorials, I haven't seen any of them loading the data dynamically. For example, I'd like to have an xml like the following:[code]and then loop through every "visitor" xml item and draw their values, and display their "fullname" when the mouse is over their line.

There's a RadioButtons group (=Group3) and event listener applied on it. The value of _root.choices3.a3.data is "a". The code is following:
trace("DATA BEFORE" + _root.choices3.a3.data);
var rbListener3 = newObject();
rbListener3.click = function() {
trace("I am inside.")
trace("DATA INSIDE" + _root.choices3.a3.data);
}
_root.choices3.Group3.addEventListener("click",
rbListener3);
If I compile it, the output is:
DATA BEFORE
I am inside.
DATA INSIDE
Why can't I read the value of _root.choices3.a3.data inside the function?

I'm trying to read json data from a web service. The problem is that it seems URLLoader always return the data as XML so I can't decode the json string.
This is my code :
import com.adobe.serialization.json.JSON;
var myRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest(<asmx, web service path>);
myRequest.method = URLRequestMethod.POST;
var variables:URLVariables = new URLVariables();
[code]....
not surprisingly i get an error on the json decode because as far as i can see using trace, i get xml data.Also i tried to run it on the browser, didn't help. Also tried to set the content type in the request to 'application/json', but it gave me an error.Even though i googled it, i couldn't fint what is the problem in my as3 code. It seems to me it should have worked.

I want to create a flash swf file that will store a token in Local Shared Object. What do I need to do to read that token and look it up in the database on the back end? Is this possible at all?
here is a possible scenario:
User visits my web page A token is generated on the server and stored in the database Token is then saved in LSO User leaves the site (maybe shuts down his computer) and comes back later Token is read, located in the database and the user is recognized (lets say that token is a foreign key that links to other user data stored in the db)
I researched this for quite a while and all I find is that flash can use LSO to store read data for flash movie... Does this mean that the data can not be accessed by the server?
