ActionScript 3.0 :: Call A Xml File From A Different Folder?
Jul 12, 2010
So I've created an xml slideshow using Flash Slideshow maker pro, because its very fast and versatile and I need to update my galleries frequently. I'm trying to load it into my flash site using the following AS3 script:
var Xpos:Number = 20;
var Ypos:Number = 20;
var swf:MovieClip;
[Code]....
and when I do that, it seems to be unable to read the xml file anymore and I get a "load fail" message.
On looking at the error message, its trying to call the xml file from the same folder that the site is saved in. How do i tell it to get the xml file from a different folder?
I know I'm missing something really simple. I am trying to create a next button that will call the next swf file from my folder, so far this is what I have:

I'm a newbie to Flash. I'm learning how to create a flash based image gallery. How to call images from a folder to the main stage and animate the image to show for 1 second and the change to the next image as a slideshow in a loop. This is the home page of the gallery.
When I use swfobject (or, for that matter, publish from Flash)...if my HTML file is in the same folder as my Flash .swf (called "bin")...the flash file displays as a blank white page. I can tell the .swf is on the page, because when I right-click I see the flash context menu...however, the swf is blank. So the path isn't written incorrectly.If I move the HTML file inside the "bin" folder and change the path from "bin/myFile.swf" to "myFile.swf" everything works again...what gives?I think it might have something to do with using the Loader class...I am using loaders to loader external .jpeg files. But I don't know what to do about this other than to keep my HTML files in my "bin" folder which is a bit of a pain.
Okay, so I am calling my scripts from the folder "php/" Thus, my FileReference calls "php/upload.php" to upload. However, my uploads are in "uploads/" and not in "php/uploads". When the PHP script is called, it apparently ignores the caller (the SWF file) and looks for uploads in its own directory (the "php/" folder). It may be a PHP question, but how do I reference the uploads folder as being in the parent directory of the php files in my PHP script?
i have uploaded a simple 1 page website with the flash video sitting outside of the root folder of the site itself. i have pointed the flv playback components to the video and published it and uploaded it but the video does not appear on the pages.

I usually work with many AS files in the same folder and it is easy to address those files to each other. But I now have a sub folder inside the name folder which stores most of my files; and there is another as file inside that sub folder.

i am trying to create a flash movie for my browser page. i am able to import and export the movie just fine, the problem comes after i export the movie.

I have an image slideshow program working right now and it takes in a folder of a hard coded in number of images. I would like to change this so that it can take in a folder and will display all of them no matter the number. Is there a way to do this in flash? I'm thinking something like the foreach loop in perl or other scripting language. It is possible to store then number of images in a text file but I also don't know how to read that in flash either. I'm working in actionscript 3.
