ActionScript 3.0 :: Data Coming From An XML File?
Aug 1, 2011
I am somewhat stuck on building a specific layout in AS3 with data coming from an XML file. And I really didn't expect any problems with layout in Flash.A while ago I built a Flex banner, but due to performance and size issues I want to rebuild it in Flash/AS3.[URL]..My flash file is already parsing the XML and I have all the data I need available. But right now I only show it as text in a htmltext field.After a long time of googeling around, it seems there is no way to achieve the layout with a "classic text" field. Can I do it with a TLF field? It does not look like it.
Can I do it with some displayContainer tricks maybe? I am pretty new to Actionscript, so I can only hope some of you experienced devs can help me with a few hints on this.How would you build it? For every entry I basically need a two column header (left side a image, right side text. all fixed height) below that goes a textfield of "variable" height. And then below that the next entry block, and so on. Just like in the Flex banner.
I found some frameworks, but they all want height values for all of the layout parts. Since I have a variable text height for each entry, I cannot use these frameworks. And because of size constraints I don't really want to use any framework if I can avoid it.

I am trying to parse an some xml that is coming from a php file. I used the DOMDocument to write the xml and then echoed it back out. It's perfectly formatted I'm sure. When I load the php file from flash I don't get any errors but it won't trace the xml. I even have the header ("content-type: text/xml"); in the php file. Can flash pick up xml data from a php file assuming everything is done correctly?

I am trying to export a .swf file which plays video/sound so I can upload the file to a website (embedded). However, the sound does not want to play when in flash. It is basically of a person talking and lasts about 20 seconds. I have exported the file as a .mov using flash mx pro on mac. the .mov file plays in a quicktime but when imported into flash the sounds seems to disappear.

How can I save data to a text file and also append a record to data in an existing text file? I've used Authowrware previously and it was quite easy to create a large string of data (a comma separated list) and export that to a text file (and create the text file if it didn't already exist). I could then easily append additional rows of data (records) to the text file. We want to build a questionnaire that will store the data locally on the computer in a text file. Each record may have a few hundred data points in a comma separated list.

I am the fan of kirupa but this is my first thread in forum. I have some problem with sendAndLoad method with actionscript 2.0. I am developing a online game with flash mx , MS SQL 2000 and asp. The problem is I send the data using sendAndLoad method to asp file and get data back from asp file. But when the internet connection is not good there is a problem like jam or lost packets. How can I prevent the lost of packets. Some of the data are important. Is there any way to solve this?

I will be creating a program to use for data entry. I'll be studying zebras in kenya and I won't have the internet there as I'm recording the data. I'd like to be able to send the data I generate in flash to an external text file. I understand I need some sort of script to do that, but is this something I can run just on my machine? (I'll probably make the data into xml format).

I have an xml file (externally saved) that is similar to the following:
[root]
[main]
[title]...[/title]
[Code]....
What I like to do is to get what's in [title] tag using HTTPservice, import it into Flex, and save it as array objects, and do the same thing for [content]. This way I can later refer the array object saying title[0] or content[2].

this is my current cv, painstakenly written in flash: [URL] I was told that I can use an external data file and load this into a flash file with xml, i am trying to make an xml file that will do what you see here above. But i cannot get the information to load properly where each title is separate (bold) and the description underneath it (plain text). i cannot get my cv to show up in a linear format as it only shows the
first entry and then stops.

I am seeing repeated comments on this discussion forum that it's not possible to save data from Flash into a locally stored XML file . . . but there must be a way to do this. Why is you can read data from a locally stored XML file but not update or add data to it. how absurd a design would that be, it simply wouldn't be logical!

I am attempting to get data from an xml file load in flash. I followed a tutorial in a new fla and it seemed to work fine, I then tried to adapt it to my own needs which worked fine. But then when trying to implement this into my news section it doesn't seem to work. I am trying to make a news section, that displays the date and news article. This is in within a movie clip, I even tried putting it in the timeline of the scene but still nothing.
- I have 2 dynamic text boxes, date_txt and news_txt
- The xml file is named news.xml,
- both the fla and the xml are in the same folder
This is the actionscript I am using:
function loadXML(loaded) {
if (loaded) {
_root.thedate =

This is probably a completely n00b thing, but I'm trying to get a preloader to work on a gallery I made. I'd already made the gallery, and now as an after though have attempted to add the preloader. As a whole it seems to be working, except the preloader keeps coming back on itself, so I can't actually every get round to seeing to gallery I've made. I think maybe there just needs to be some kind of "stop" action put into the ActionScript within the preloader scene, but to be fair, I really don't know what I'm doing. I've followed a tutorial to the every detail, but still it doens't work. The orginal Flash file can be grabbed here: [URL]
