I'm building a class with AS3 which is supposed to be able to read via php an xml file of the which I specify the url and assign the return to a variable, the as3 cose is the following:
package
{
public class phpInterfaceClass
{
[Code]....
I know that I should make the readXML function return only after the loading event has completed, but I don't know how!
I am doing an Actionscript 3.0 project which involves introspection. I am wondering if there is a way to get all the classes within a given package structure.
[Code]....
does anyone know how do i make a string as a classname.[code]
View 11 RepliesI have already set a variable in my document class "Main.as". I am now trying to access that variable and read its value from a different Class and Function, take that value and email it. For example in my "Main.as" file I have this function:
public var _myVar:String;
function create() {
_myVar = "hello";
}
Now from my other class "EmailtoFriend.as" I have a new function to try and get the value of that pre set variable:
function getVar() {
trace(_myVar);
}
Why will it not output "hello"? Instead I get an error saying: Access of undefined property _myVar.
Ok, I've written a simple class with some string/number variables and set/get functions (tested by creating static objects).
ActionScript Code:
import EventClass;
var aEvent = new EventClass();

I am changing the flashvars variables v1=value&v2=value ect then after the flash movie runs I am changing the variables externally by javascript, so far so good.when flash first loads it reads the vars correctly.when I try to read them ( after the change ) it keeps reading the old values.[code]everything works except I cannot seem to read the changed FlashVars.
View 1 RepliesThe project will have a web based interface but the actual presentation will be in flash. So the premise is you create a presentation, flash then reads the XML data, creates a menu and presents the other XML data in a linear fashion and my first question is whether the XML is in the correct format. I am not the one programming the XML side of things we have a .NET programmer doing that and he has not worked with Flash too much and this is also something new for me as well.
Code: Select all<presentation>
<info>
<name>My First Presentation</name>

I recently made a website and the links for the main page do not seem to link properly to their rightful pages when I put the site online (but it does work well when Im just testing the site on my computer in my Flash program) I know that the website I made is very large - so I was wondering if that could be a reason for why the pages don't load properly - also one of the pages links to another site and although that seems to work on my swf when I play it in my Flash player - it doesn't work when I put it online-
Finally my sound quality is not that great for the site. The songs are in mp3 format - would it be better to make them .wav files?
Or are all these problems related and its just that my computer does not have enough power to convert this massive flash website into a proper swf file? If this is my problem. What do I do?
The site that I made is [URL]
I have a move that reads class files located in folder called 'src' and has been working once I changed the path to absolute. for some reason now my movie has decided not to work.
this is how I create the path:Go to porperties and click 'Edit' then clicking the AS3 'settings'. I then go to the 'Source path' tab and click 'browse folder' icon to the folder of the classes.having done all this my movie still does not work.
I have an XML doc that was exported from FileMaker Pro that I need to read into flash to get the variables from. The XML doc is laid out like this (shortened for brevity):
<FMPXMLRESULT>
<ERRORCODE>0</ERRORCODE>
<PRODUCT BUILD="06-20-2006" NAME="FileMaker Pro"/>
<DATABASE DATEFORMAT="M/d/yyyy"/>
[code]....
It keeps telling me a term is undefined and has no properties. This I've isolated to the backgroundArray.push statement. Just not sure how to fish the data out of that XML doc properly. What call would I use to iterate thru the different ROW tags to get to the DATA info?
I'm creating a interactive 'thing' where I've got buttons which when clicked show a an image and display text relating to the value in the XML file.
The XML is working and I can trace the any percentage(value I'm looking to find).
Code:
function LoadXML(e:Event):void
{
xmlData = new XML(e.target.data);

using the authoring tool to test,I find I can only read certain keys via:stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, keyDown);
But when I test in a browser, I can indeed read all the keys. So the IDE must be intercepting certain keypresses. E.g., I can read w and d but not e.
How can I read all keys? Testing in a browser all the time is a bit inconvenient
benefit a Flash/Action Script beginner?
View 2 RepliesI would like to have two applications communicate with each other. One app is a Flash running the browser and the other one is another app of ours that is distributed as *.exe file. We need the C/C++ application to read some info out of the SOL file, that is written by the Flash app.
Any other mean that can be used to read the SOL file from a C/C++ application? How often is the format of the SOL file being changed ?
I know there is a way to read variables from PHP, i have seen the many tutorials. What I want to do is slightly different. I need to load the flash file with a variable.I want the user to have a url containing a variable, the PHP will then get the posted variable and load it into the flash file on the page. Is there a way to load the variable into the flash file?URLtest.php?var="list.xml"Inside PHPget posted variableload flash file and load the var into the actionscriptFlash embeded on page or on a redirect pageActionscript uses variable which was originally embedded in the URL
View 3 Replieson my first frame in the main timeline, i specify a var var geklikt:String = "About";
now on the same timeline, on the same frame, theres an MCin that MC, i want to read the value of the var created on the maintime line.
What I have so far...sure there is a better way to do this and as I learn AS3 I will figure it out. The following is what I put together where I now have three instances of the segmented thumbnail button that shows an image when cliked on. What I figure out why it only reads the one xml file.
My XML files: images, images_a, images_b
<images><image full="images/full/image1.jpg" thumb="images/thumb/image1.jpg" /> <image full="images/full/image2.jpg" thumb="images/thumb/image2.jpg" /> <image

So I want to do something very simple I load a jpeg into a bitmapdata instance somewhere in the jpeg is an embedded xmp packet with useful info like image title, caption, copyright info etc... how to read the xmp data from inside a bitmapdata instance??? I have found the xmp library for actionsscript but it is absolutely no help I create actionscript by just creating as3 files in flash and attach my main class to my (empty) .fla file I do NOT use the IDE, FLEX, Flash builder or anything fancy. These are pure custom as3 classes everything is created from code

I have a dynamic textbox in flash called vt. It has attached to it the following in a class file:
vt.text = xml.video.@vt[cv];
and pulls the information from an XML File:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<playlist>
<video src='videos/video1.flv' vt='abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz'/>
</playlist>
Now for some reason only the letters a d g i l n o will actually display when tested with all the alphabet above.
UPDATE: Solved - Just needed to change the textbox AA to Use Device Fonts :) (New user cant answer my own question)
I am trying to work with this xml in AS3. [URL]. But I am getting a url error. I was wondering how to read this in, or what might be causing me to get this error:
ActionScript Code:
Error opening URL '[URL]'
Error #2044: Unhandled ioError:. text=Error #2032: Stream Error. [URL]&List={76269379-92F6-4418-8605-0A5414F91AA9}&View={9F672220-5766-409C-9C90-D746C4B85223}
at SharepointXML_fla::MainTimeline/frame1()
The xml shows up when you go here, but it won't read in.
Does AS3 have a Class that can read in lines from a .txt file and assign values to variables. For example, say I have a Player class with three int variables health, armor and damage. I also have a corresponding player.txt file that holds the variables.
health = 3
armor = 4
damage = 5
What code can i use to assign these variables their correct values in Flash.IMPORTANT It must be a txt file. XML is not applicable.
I'm trying to get my program to detect when certain pixels (not shapes) have been hit but don't know what sort of code to use for "reading" pixels. I read about the getPixel method, but it seems that's only for bitmap images?If it helps, I'm trying to put it into use with hitTest, with specific pixels rather than shapes in general.
View 0 RepliesI'm trying to read a url from an xml file and attach an onRelease event to a movieclip that opens the url when clicked.
Code:
var thelink = getValue(findNode(i, "link")).toString();
var thelink2 = "../news/Press Releases/testpdf.pdf";
if (thelink <> "")
{
tempMC.bat.onRelease=function(){ getURL(thelink); }
}
If I use the "thelink" variable as input to the getURL function, I get a "Page not found" error.If I use the "thelink2", it works as expected.When I look in the debugger, "thelink" and "thelink2" are identical!Here is the code for the findNode function. I've had no problems before with this code, so I don't think the problem is there.
Code:
function findNode(node, nodeName)
{
if (node.nodeName==nodeName)

I was wondering if there was a way to have a flash file read its own flash name and use it as a variable within that swf. ie, 05.swf. I would want 05 to be a variable with the page.
View 2 RepliesI'm having trouble reading an XMLDocument object that has an xml declaration. When I try to trace the first child of the document I get nothing. I've run into this before but it wasn't a problem because previously I was in control of the format of the xml, so it was no problem to just not have an xml declaration, but for this project I don't have that control.
View 2 RepliesI have a couple variables coming from PHP. So for example if my PHP looks like this:
PHP Code:
$qry = "Select * from memory";
$result = mysql_query($qry);
echo "memory=";
while($resultset = mysql_fetch_array($result)){
echo $resultset['name'].";".$resultset['memory'].",";
For this the output from the PHP file would look like this:
memory=Person2;Memory2,Person1;Memory1,
So basically the comma represents a new record in the database. So basically in my text field I'd like the following result to happen:
Memory: Memory2
From: Person2
Memory: Memory1
From: Person1
So take the first record and display it like I've shown and then have a couple break lines (not sure how to accomplish this either) and display the next record that was separated by the comma.I have the following AS code which works for one variable but I have more then one like above:
ActionScript Code:
files = new Array();
lv = new LoadVars();
lv.onLoad = function() {
[code]....
I made an XML file and then replicated that in a PHP file. I then just executed my PHP file and then viewed the source of it and then copied that into an XML file and had my AS read that file it works fine.

View 2 RepliesI have a SWF reading a XML for text and stuff. I'm trying to make the SWF reading a XML whith the same name of the SWF, even if I change the SWF name. Is that possible? Wow!... In other words: I want to duplicate the SWF (renaming it, lets say, to MyDuplicate.swf) but I want the new one to read another XML (called MyDuplicate.xml). It means that the inside as3 code must have a variable name for the XML to load depending on the swf actual name... It may sound odd but it's perfect if you need to multiply your swf for an undefined number of copys whithin an application.
