ActionScript 3.0 :: Add Paths To The Flash Runtime Search Path For Loading Files?
Mar 13, 2012
Is there a way to add paths to the Flash runtime search path for loading files? Say I want to load myXML.xml and its down in /myDir1/myDir2/myXML.xml. Is there any way I can add "/myDir1/myDir2" to the search path so I can just load using the string "myXML.xml" INSTEAD of loading by the full path "/myDir1/myDir2/myXML.xml"? My directory structure will be changing on a semi-regular basis so I can't hard-code the direct path to the file.

I was wondering if it possible to write up some AS that will take line paths that you have drawn and convert them into a Path object? For example say you drew a jagged line from left to write, would there be a way to have AS convert that into a Path object.

According to the Adobe asdocs, Flex framework files are supposed to be able to be loaded at runtime. These localized framework files, the ones that exist at (on windows) C:Program Files (x86)AdobeAdobe Flash Builder 4.5sdks4.5.0frameworkslocale, are responsible for items such as button text on Alert Dialogs, and a host of other controls. My expectation is that once these framework files are loaded I would see these resources available in my Flex app.
I've set up my project as follows:
MyProject
-src
-Flex4.5
-Referenced Libraries
[code]....
Now the asdocs state that in order to do this, you have to set the compiler settings to read
-locale=en_US,da_DK,de_DE,es_ES,fi_FI,fr_FR,it_IT,ja_JP,ko_KR,nb_NO,nl_NL,pt_BR,ru_RU,sv_SE,zh_CN,zh_TW -allow-source-path-overlap=true -source-path=locale/{locale}
which I have done.My Build Path Libraries for Flex 4.5 - C:Program Files (x86)AdobeAdobe Flash Builder 4.5sdks4.5.0 are set to be Runtime Shared library (of note, the {locale} subfolder says "Merged into code")
But when I change the language in the browser, I'm not seeing any of the framework resources.Also, when I build my project, I don't see any indication of the locale-oriented resource files in the bin-release. Since we only deploy the contents of the bin-release folder (and not the entire project), how is this supposed to work?I am also seeing .swz files in my bin-release (and I know these arent the localized framework resources).
Does anyone have any experience with Runtime Framework Localization?? What am I doing wrong? My expectation is that once I build my project (with the framework resources externalized) that the app would be able to load those resources, but this isn't happening and I am not interested in compiling a different version of my app for all of the locales I support.

I have a developed a browser-like Mac Desktop app which uses WebKit to render web content. My app links against the standard system WebKit framework (it does not bundle a private WebKit framework).
However, I would like to bundle a private Flash plugin in my app bundle. When my app runs, I would like WebKit to prefer the private Flash plugin in my bundle over any other Flash plugin on the system.
How can I alter WebKit's plugin search path such that my app will load my private Flash plugin bundled with my app?

I wok on desktop Adobe AIR application. It creates .DMG for mac os builds. It is actually command line application. What I want is the ability to call it from command line - add it .../*.app/Content/MacOS to $PATH. Is there any standard way to do it with AIR ? I need it to work on Windows as well.

Does anyone know if there is some kind of program that can convert the XML paths to Flash paths. Hmm...what I'm after is some little program that basically lets me open up an XML file, point on a node or attribute and the program will the flashpath to this node/attribute, where the path is something like: his.firstchild.childnode[2].attribute.jadajada

use the mxmlc task of the Flex Ant tasks with a user-definable list of source path or library paths? The idea is that the user can define an arbitrary list of source paths and/or library (swc) paths into an Ant properties file and the build file takes these values and evaluates them for use in the mxmlc task. Just wondering if there are any tricks (maybe utilizing filtering/string replacing) to get this working?

I'm loading external jpgs into a swf movie. This works fine from the swf. The problem is when I embed it in the html. File Structure that I want:
movie.html
FolderB>
ImageFolder>image.jpg
movie.swf (path to the images is ImageFolder/image.jpg
When I run the movie.swf from within the directory, it runs fine. However, when I embed it in the movie.html it doesn't run. Question: Are paths from the swf relative to the PAGE that the swf is contained in vs the swf itself? Hope that makes sense.

So I got this Flash project of mine. It imports dynamically other flash files that can be found at other places (on the same domain). And those other flash files load XML files using relative paths. The problem is: when I just load one of those other flash files, then they treat their relative paths from the location of the flash file that loaded them on, and not from their own directory on. Is there any way I can simply tell the loaded swf file to keep following it's relative path orders from it's own directory on, and not from the directory of the file that imported it on?
Or are there really just two ways to fix this:
- place the xml files at the location the loaded swf files expect them to be (though this would get quite messy)
- change the ways all the loaded swf files import their xml stuff (this would take quite a long time)
Example:
I got a file "peter.swf" in it's folder "project_peter".
Location: "project_peter/peter.swf"
I also got another swf file, called "basket" (for example).
Location: "project_peter/importedstuff/basket/basket.swf"
And basked would want to load an xml file.
Location: "xml_files/basket_config.xml"
So the true location of the xml file would be:
"project_peter/importedstuff/xml_files/basket_config.xml"
However, the basket file would try to load:
"project_peter/xml_files/basket_config.xml"

Due to decisions out of my control I've created a iPad app by way of a CS5.5 Flash build and using the 'Air for iOS' publish.
In the 'Air for iOS' settings I've included a file. The issue I'm having is in trying to call the file and not knowing what the path is.
I'm hoping this is a case where files added in this manner are placed in a consistent location.
Is that the case? And if so, what would the path be?

Does Flash look for .swc files only through library path or can I put .swc file to the .fla directory too? I tried that but It seems that Flash does not look for .swc files there, I guess only for .as files.

I have a main.swf which loads a module.swf and the module.swf loads some assets.The module.swf works standalone and also needs to work when loaded by main.swf.But unfortunately the module.swf can't find the assets when loaded by main.swf because the assets aren't located relative to the main.swf, but are located relative to the module.swf.As I can't touch the module.swf and I'm also unwilling to change the directory structure, I am looking for a solution close to the a "base" parameter which can be used when a swf is embedded into html

I have been fighting with my issue of loading an xml file from flash for about 10 hours. When I run the swf on my desktop it works fine. If i access the file directly on my server it works fine as well in FireFox and Internet Explorer. When I run it from my portfolio www dot cspsolutions dot ca/portfolio(first portfolio item) and you run it in FireFox it displays the error:
Error #2044: Unhandled ioError:. text=Error #2032: Stream Error. URL: products.xml
at ImageChanger()
at ImageChanger_fla::MainTimeline/frame1()
I know that the path is correct because I uploaded the whole directory so the file structure should stay the same. To get a better understanding of the situation you can view the file at www dot cspsolutions dot ca/portfolio/imageChanger . It only raises the error in FireFox however the animation does not display in both browsers.

Any way to dynamically see how much memory the Flash player is taking up? I am loading in hundreds of thumbnails using a search box, and I want to make sure assets are off-loading properly. Also, the thumbnails are being loaded in one at a time in a for-loop. The thumbnail addresses are being received via an XML page. When I load them through the for-loop, some of the thumbnails never load. Most of them do, but I find spots where they don't. Most important question is about the flash resource manager! Is there one?

I recently switched a Flex project over to using RSLs. It built fine for quite a while but has recently dug its heels in and is giving me this error:configuration variable 'runtime-shared-library-path' requires a value for 'rsl-url'I went through all the flex XML files I could find and either this value doesn't exist or there are entries available for it. Nowhere did I see a <rs-url></rs-url> with no value.

I have an SWF called A.swf which dynamically loads other assets from a relative path. However, if I want to load this A.swf into B.swf, for the dynamic loading in A.swf to work properly, A.swf and B.swf have to be in the same path. But I want A.swf to be in another folder, along with its assets.
There are no broken paths - if the loading path was relative from A.swf, all the assets would load correctly, but when I load A.swf into B.swf, all the paths start from B.swf, even if they are requested from A.swf, and that causes problems for me.

I have a Main.swf that loads an external Child.swf, also the Child.swf loads some external files. My problem is that once the Main.swf loads the Child.swf. The paths that Child.swf reads (for it's external files) are no longer normal and it reads the paths from the Main.swf. (Main.swf is in another folder). Is there a way to lock the paths of the child.swf dynamically from the Main.swf?

if someone can shed some light to this matter... i'm pretty new (somewhat) w/ AS let's say, i got an .swf (voets enahnced mp3-player) @ [URL] --which works perfectly at the moment. i then referrenced this .swf in [URL] --which doesn't work prolly because the .swf is calling the XML (i.e. "onlineplaylist.xml") relative to its whereabout, which is /test08. the question is, is there any way around this problem, so that if i put all .SWFs in a certain location (server/directory/what-have-you...), and referrence it from another server &/or directory (like above), it would work?

We have a large flash site which is translated into 11 languages. We have a font loading system whereby all the characters required to display the site in each language are embedded in external swfs (so 11 swfs).recent update to the site requires us to use the Text Layout Framework (TLF) for one area of text display, which of course only supports fonts embedded in the new CFF format. I've attempted to embed a second instance of the font using the tag embedAsCFF="true", and after loading in the font SWF I can see this font is correctly registered as it shows up in the array returned by Font.enumerateFonts.The TextFlow instance I am using has the following properties set:
textFlow.fontLookup = FontLookup.EMBEDDED_CFF;
textFlow.renderingMode = RenderingMode.CFF;
textFlow.fontFamily = "HeadingFontCFF";

I can't see how to do this because silverlight is compiled. I don't want to load a video, I want to load a component/object that will be instantiated at runtime. Flash can easily do this as movieclip is also an component/object.

I want to have an AS3 app load images from url supplied by the user. But I don't want a malicious user to be able to load an SWF file in place of the image, such as with an altered extension "maliciousSwf.png". Well, not sure how big a security threat that is above and beyond the ability of the hacker to decompile swf, but I think that ideally such behavior should not be allowed.
So, is there any way to prevent this? When people allow users to load images in their Flash apps, do they somehow guard against loading of SWF? Or is this really absolutely no big deal?

GrrrRrrRr been searching endlessly for days for tutorials or source files for the timer. Just a simple timer that counts down by minutes and seconds for 10 minutes. the closest i got are a bunch of codes that I'm not really good at translating...So could someone teach or give me a source file? just a simple timer that will trigger the end quiz page when time is up.

I've made an AIR app with Flash Builder 4. Works great but I want to run the app without installing it. So..... when I install the app, I copy the files from program files and paste it on a CD and give it to somebody. He runs it on another computer without AIR runtime with as result that it doesn't work.How can I bypass this? Like some launcher/setup that installs AIR runtime for the client if it aint installed. If it is installed, run the AIR app

I'm trying to build a flex project, linking it to some RLSs. When setting up the project in Flex Builder, the corresponding "build configuration" (that I got by adding -dump-config to the compiler options) generates (among other things) a tag like this :

<url>some-lib.swf</url>
<url>some-other-lib.swf</url>
