how to determine swf publish date/time stamp from within the swf?
I have a template fla used to build apps (in AS3) and would like to know some info about when it was published.
I initially thought it would be in the loaderInfo but it doesn't have the date/time stamp of when it was published (or at least not that I could find)

View 2 RepliesIs there any way to determine a file type from a url when the file extension is not a reliable indicator? Since there are different APIs for playing video, audio, or displaying images, you need to know the filetype beforehand.
View 5 RepliesI have some scrolling content (info). I've also made my own scroll bar.I want the scrollBar dragger to be positioned in relation to the info._y as the user scrolls info.I have created two vars: one that worsk out where info._y is as a percentage and the other that works out where the scroll._y dragger should be as a percentage...
Actionscript Code:
var scrollBarPercent = Math.round(scrollBar.dragger._y / [code]........
also onMouseWheel working too.I need a small bit of code that takes the % of info._y and moves the scrollBar dragger to the same % but in relation to the Stage.height...so if projectGalleryPercent = 50%, make dragger._y 50% of Stage.height using scrollBarPercent.
Is it possible for a swf to get info from an XML file that is placed in a different domain? And if it is, how can I do it?
View 3 RepliesI am using Adobe Flash Media Streaming Server 3.5 but I can't find any output file (fx a xml file) that I can pull out info from and use on my website via a PHP or ASP script. It could be nice - in the website - to retrieve info like "online users attending", "running / streaming state" (online or offline) and other relevant info about the streaming, so I on the website can display how many that are online when a webtv event is streaming.

View 1 RepliesI'm making a yearbook for my school and I have A LOT of information to be shown on it (in case you were wondering, its a digital year book lol). Theres a certain page that has all the headshots of all the students, and when the picture is clicked, a new scene opens with the information on the student (along with fancy opening animations). Firstly, is that the easiest way to do it, or can i have an overlapping MC that appears over the pictures, fading out or blurring the background, then click an X to shrink and fade out and unblur the background...Secondly, is there a way to create a template thingo for this MC or scene so that it can automatically read data from an xml or text file and place it in the appropriate position for that name. For example-the text would look like this
"bob_bio"
pic:"C:~~obphoto.jpeg"

Below, I will copy the code I am using and I have placed to .fla file and images online, but I cannot place the link here (don't have enough posts yet), so ask me if you want.he script runs perfectly and loads its parameters from the "hardcodedXML" variable. This way, however, whenever the images and their information need to be changed, someone with knowledge of flash and AS will need to open the sourcecode and alter the "hardcodedXML".I am currently assigned to make a renewed website for my employers and would like to enable them (no knowledge of flash or AS whatsoever) to edit the contents of the scroll box. The easiest way for "dummies" is to have a .txt file in the same directory, that contains the stuff that is put in the "hardcodedXML" right now.My actual question/problem: how can I create a txt file that is read by the script, to store the string in "hardcodedXML" (the current string that is hard coded looks like "<photos>...</photos>".I've tried searching Google, but didn't come up with anything.

I created an mp3 player but i have problems in getting info from XML file (song duration)

I'm new to the action script and problems about creating functions after preload() function i call for firstsong(). I have firstsong(), prevsong() and nexsong() functions and timebar() function that is called in each firstsong(), prevsong() and nexsong() functions. In problems about streaming audio this can't work for me and i come up with an idea that to add each songs time as seconds on XML.

View 3 RepliesI'm trying to determine if two FileReferences reference the same file. I'm trying to guarentee file uniqueness in a space where file size and name might not be enough. What I'm really trying to tell is if the path of each of the referenced files is unique.
I have already tried an approach with hashing the data in the file, but the files I am working with are large, and this is a very slow process.
I would be currious to know as an alternative if it is possible to load only a limited amount into the data array of a FileReference. I should be able to guarentee uniqueness if I could hash say, the first MB of data, or the whole file...whichever is smaller.
I load strings from a mxl. Some of the strings are file paths and some of them are just normal strings. How I can to determine who is a file and who is a regular string?
View 3 RepliesI am currently trying to modify a hangman game I found on here (URL...). I'm not very good at actionscript and hopefully this will be a good exercise to learn more - I really want to learn how to make games. I have seen hangman games that include clues for words, but the only games I can find that I can read the source in don't have a clue field, and pull the words from an external .txt file. Is there a way of also pulling phrases to be as clues from these files? I could just create another .txt file and make it a new variable, but of course I would have the problem of it not matching the word. I hope i made sense.

I have a submit button created in an Actionscript file. I want to send data when user clicks the submit button(never mind how the data is sent-I just need to check the event listeners). I tried placing an event listener for the button in the AS file like so: I'm getting an error about undefined method,blahblah so I tried going through the main timeline. Go to frame 146(labeled "this"). myform creates instance of class formtest; subbtn is the name of the button created in the formtest.as file. how the heck do I remove this form when user exits frame?

View 3 RepliesI'm trying to populate an array with info loaded in from an xml file. I've got the xml loading fine and I can trace everything but cannot seem to access the info outside of the function...here's my code:
Code:
myXML.onLoad = function(success) {
if (success) {
populateNav(myXML);
} else {
[Code]...
My trace inside of the populateNav function works great...all the info is there and image_path returns all of my...image paths. So my XML is fine...what I can't seem to do is pass that info outside of the populateNav function. My imageholder trace returns undefined. I think it's got something to do with the fact that the imageholder trace is being performed before the xml is fully loaded...not sure what to do about that though.
So I've created an interactive map that loads info in from a csv file and displays that information on 120 cities with a radius around each city.The cities have been manually placed on the map and the data is sent to them from a custom function.The problem I'm having is with the RollOver effect on the radius as some of my cities end up underneath the other ones as the radius grow and subtract through a timeline.I'm just wondering of the best way to give each city a set depth and then arrange the depth order within a set number of depths.Should I attempt to put all the cities in an array that way I can check the size of each city in the array and order the depth = to the value of the radius size.

I need to be able to load a couple of external.swf files and have them play sequentially. To do that, I need to know the number of frames in the first .swf file so that I can check _currentframe against _totalframes to determine when it is finished playing so that I can load the second one.Most of the tips I see indicate that _totalframes on an external .swf can be determined by loading the.swf into a container clip and then checking using a listener within .onLoadInit. Like this:
---------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------
this.createEmptyMovieClip("tester_mc", 1);var mcListener:Object = new Object();
mcListener.onLoadInit = function(target_mc:MovieClip)[code].......
Unfortunately, that doesn't seem to work. The trace always returns a total frames of 1.I imagine this is because the container movie clip only has 1 frame, and the external .swf timeline appears to be ignored.how to gather the total frames of an external .swf file or, alternatively, tell in some other way when it is finished playing. (Not just loading, but playing to the end.)
