xmlLoad("\serverfolderfile.xml")
its gives me a error.
I am building a intranet application.
- Flash Media Server 3.5 (using ActionScript 3 for server-side code)
- Flex application (built in Flex Builder 3, using ActionScript 3)
Now, I'm trying to get the server-side ASC code to call something from a connected client. It doesn't seem to work (thought everything else works beautifully). I've tried stuff like the following in the server side:
- In the application.onConnect function, I've tried this:
...
currentClient.requestChat = function (reqID, destID){ trace("Requesting chat..."); currentClient.call("requestWaiting", new reqHandler(), reqID, destID);};
...
(Where reqHandler is just some handler that I know gets called).
- I've also tried the following code outside the onConnect function:
Client.prototype.requestChat = function (reqID, destID){ trace("Requesting chat..."); this.call("requestWaiting", new reqHandler(), reqID, destID);}
Both seem to fire appropriately (when triggered from another client). However, the "requestWaiting" method call to the clients doesn't seem to work at all. I've tried some AS 2 examples on the client side, like:
nc = new NetConnection(); nc.client = new Object();
// function for handling queueing of requests for this station nc.client.requestWaiting = function (reqID:String, destID:String):void { trace("HELLO"); // check to make sure this is the right location, and if so, queue it if (destID == "WhateverTheIDIs") { chatQueue.push(reqID); btnChatWaiting.visible = true; } // if }
...but that doesn't seem to fire at all. I know the Flex has "sealed" the NetConnection class itself, so I can't just "extend" it as I do the "client" property.I've als tried some more AS 3-oriented stuff, like trying to make the "client" property reference a separate class that handles callbacks, but that doesn't work easily for me as I need access to properties in the class that contains the NetConnection.
I am making a movie in which flash will call a ASP.NET page, which in turn gives a random ID, which is assigned as a file name to the user recorded streams. The Page will be called upon pressing Record button.
When I compile the flash movie, pressing Record button gives me a new ID every time the page called. Every thing is fine.
But the problem is, when I embed the SWF in a browser, or let say, when tested in localhost, the flash makes a call to the .NET page for the first time, but not later, and the ID being the same as first, the recorded streams are over writing. I want it to be unique every time user records a stream.
What may be the problem, when embedded in browser, flash calling the .NET page only once and not later.

Is there any way to have a function which connects to a server and uploads a local file without calling FileReference.browse?I have an application at a kiosk which is recording a short webcam movie of a guest. Once completed, I'd like for the video to be put on a server and a link send to the guest. I've got the link part working, but am not sure how to get the file up to the server automagically.
View 4 RepliesHere's a coding question for the guru's I've written a simple function that will clear a form. I want to call this function from another function (4 of them to be exact). I could copy and paste code multiple times and everything will work. But where's the fun in that? There's something to be said about clean code.
For sake of explanation, the tween are working 4 layers that are on top of each other (don't ask )

If I have an external .as file that contains a function within a public class, how do I call it?I have succesfully used examples, but don't understand the way they are addressed, and get errors when I try to create my own.So if my .as file named external.as contains a public class named exampleClass, which contains a function named doThis(), is it called in CS4 using..
exampleClass.doThis();
or external.doThis();
If it's just exampleClass.doThis(); - how does Flash know where to look for it without

I'm trying to drop in a quick mp3 player into a site that creates a playlist from an XML (to the folks at ClickPopMedia for the basics of the code). It works fine in the Flash testing environment, but when I put it online, or even on my local testing server, the playlist doesn't load ,just an empty space where the List component should be. I get this error in the debugger in the Flash environment even thought it works (C:htdocs is my localhost):Quote:Error #2044: Unhandled ioError:. text=Error #2032: Stream Error.URL:file:///music.xmlat Mp3Main()[C:htdocsTrafficEntertainmentTE_sitephpsitemus icPlayerMp3Main.as:26]I'm assuming it's some sort of pathname or URLRequest issue but Every file involved is in the same folder for now. Do I need to do something different because it streams?The AS (only a portion):

I am struggling with what seems to be a simple problem. Searched and can't find the answer, it seems. I have an FLA I said I'd edit for a friend... just a few simple text edits. However, when I go to publish the movie, it makes a call to an external "State Manager" that it can't find, so the movie loops endlessly. Here is the actionscript: Code: Select allimport com.exanimo.managers.StateManager;
So I'm guessing it's looking find that at that domain. I guess that's the doing of the original programmer. However, I have noticed that there is a StateManager.js file on the webserver in the same directory where the SWF resides. Have I received an old FLA that pointed externally instead of to the local js manager? How can I change the syntax so that it finds the state manager locally?
is it possible to load a video (quicktime, mpeg, etc) into an empty movie clip in flash or do you have to import the video into the library?what i would want to do is call a video file, that would change or be overwritten on a regular basis, to play in an empty clip. i would want to be able to do this without having to REimport the video everytime
View 3 Repliesits a site about interior design. my job is to add some code to do something. i checked the code and his approach is not so good.. he's coding inside objects and frames at the same time. (ive read many actionscript books and this is a really bad practice). Here's the problem... he wants this to be implemented in the site...1.) in the gallery there is a scrolling thumbnails, he wants this to pause about 4 seconds then it will start to scroll..(ive already fixed this by creating a function interval.
Here is where my problem is...2.) When you click the thumbnail, the enlarged view will pop up.. the enalarged view are external swfs... the client wants that when you click on the thumbnail, the scrolling will stop and the external popup enlarged image will come out...this external swf has an exit button to go back to the main gallery window which is another swf... so the client wants that when you hit exit from the external swf popup window, the scrolling will resume.... im having a hard time figuring this out because i dont know how to call a function from an external swf to the main movie (the gallery page) Ill post the fla of main movie, gallery and a single external swf link of the thumbnail. just click on the first picture that will appear on the gallery

go to media >> aikido pictures
I am using this screen resolution: 1024 x 768
the whole website seems to work fine, but when I change my resolution to a higher resolution, everything works fine until I go to media >> aikido pictures, and then the whole parent swf is resized to a smaller size but the child swf is still filling the screen.
im trying to make a swf where when i click a button it calls an external swf and then goes full screen.
View 6 RepliesMy flash works fine on every platform and every better known browser. However, now I have a small issue on flash 9.0 player, and looks like the main problem is with calling external javascript using externalinterface.Every time I call it for div resizing which resize my flash stage, flash "jumps" or "flickers".I`m not sure what could cause this, but it surely happens only when I use externalinterface and call outside JS F-N.
View 2 RepliesI have created a flash movie for displaying several videos. Also it has a first 'menu' flash movie which will call this video displaying swf after checking some Identifiers in 'menu'.
I am using code like this to call video displaying swf. Inside Menu.fla I wrote the below code to call CFStarVideoAS.swf.
var mLoader:Loader = new Loader();
var mRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("CFStarVideoAS.swf");
mLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.C OMPLETE, onCompleteHandler);
mLoader.load(mRequest);
stage.addChild(mLoader);
It loads the other movie but both movies are displaying together.
I have to unload Menu.swf, which is the first swf running.
My colleagues were using unloadMovieNum(0) with as1.
I tried mLoader.unload for a trial in as3 but not works. I read from some article that unload will work but don't know how and where to insert it.
I have two files, the regular .fla file and an external .as file.Basicly at one point in the .as file I get information of what tag to send the timeline and play and have to use the function gotoAndPlay from the timeline in the .fla file.
