ActionScript 3.0 :: Extract Filenames/urls Of All The Files Within A Folder (in The Same Site Directory)?
Nov 11, 2011
I'm creating a simple online, Flash-based music player; the user clicks on a song in a DataGrid and then it plays, simple. I will display the song information with the ID3 method in the 'sound' class, but I don't want to hard-code all the songs into the ActionScript, because I might change them. I have created a "tracks" folder in the site directory; how can I extract the names of the files within that folder without knowing how many files there are, and inherently, without knowing the URLs?
This hopefully should be an easy fix. Part of my program calls for extracting the number of files within a given directory. This is done easily using the code below:
[Code]....
However, this code only works using AIR as the runtime player. There should be an equivalent command that can be used with Flash layer 10.2 or earlier.
What I want to do is to extract a zip file to a specific folder.I am using the code below that promts the user to choose which directory the zip should be extracted to and the extracts it succesfully.Now I would like define a fixed folder where the files should be axtracted to instead of letting the user decide.
Actionscript Code: function extractZIP():void { output.text = "extractZIP MANUAL"; zipOutput.browseForDirectory("Select Directory for extract");
I have this question but do not know how to begin.Let say I have some images in c:img they are:photo-1.jpg photo-2.jpg photo-3.jpg image-1.jpg image-2.jpg image-3.jpgI would like to count how many file begin with "photo-", what should I do in actiionscript3?
Im trying to create a simple image gallery which extracts image urls from xml. Its supposed to change image when you click. I think the issue is in nextimage function.
i create an application using Adobe flex 4.5 for recording videos and i was wondering how to give appropriate names to my files produced. What i was thinking is to give the current timestamp which is unique what's your opinion, is there a better solution and how can it be implemented using actionscript?
i have situation in which i have some library projects, say
"DataProcessors","Lib2"
, included in my lets say "MainProject" (a web project) placed on directory
"E:in-debugMainProject.swf"
, when i build the project it automatically place all the libs .swf in its "E:in-debug" folder, but when i debug or run the project it it gives loading error that
I am new to the community, I doing a free website for internship purposes, long story i cannot get my buttons to link in flash site, i have tried many different codes and none had worked, i am a newbie and i need some guidance in the right direction. I have three links Link1, Link 3, and Link 4 The current code I am using is import flash.net.
I've heard there is a package of software that allows you to create virtual URL's for a flash website.for example: mysite.com/contact -> maps to code in AS3 that chooses the contact page in the site.I think it also works 2-ways so that when the contact info is shown in the flash site, the URL in the browser's address bar also changes.
I have 1 menu them it use an action script for redirect the answer by the user. For example I used the script : on (release) { getURL("[URL]"); } In this case the request is ""Http"" ....but, if must call one page present in the directory of my site for example: chi_siamo/ -home.aspx -contattaci.aspx -menu.swf dove_siamo/ This menu for call the page on his directory, what action script I must use?
the flash4 published set of files, with a variety of skins tried, works well on the local drive, even when moved to a different folder structure. when index.html is opened on the remote web site, the browser (firefox3 and ie7) displays the player conrols and a rotating horizontal barber pole, green and black, but no flash video.some of the skins i've used are: SkinOverPlaySeekFullscreen.swf, nOverPlayStopSeekCaptionVol.swf and SkinUnderPlay.swf. all work locally but do not play the .flv file on the web site. no problem playing flv movies on the remote web site if the file set is created by dreamweaver.
im trying to create an advert box that loads different files from urls contained in an external xml src. The code for the XML loading works well, but the rest of the code does not seem to work.
what im trying to archieve is:
1. get the list of urls from the XML file
2. trigger the loading of these files as soon as the xml file is loaded
3. loop among these files (5 in total), in a given period of time,
4. Each time they are loaded ,the loading bar should show the progress
As expected I have a question, which is the following: Is it possible to load a complete directory into Flash. So that the only thing you will have to do is copy/paste the file to the directory and Flash loads it automaticaly?
when I first created my website I defined it in a random folder of my own choosing. Now, many months of construction later I want add some php related stuff and have to setup a proper local testing server.
I therefore have to move the whole thing to an htpdocs subfolder in MAMP - how can I do this so all links and filepaths etc are updated?
My company has recently asked me to install the Adobe Streaming Server 4.0.I was wondering if it is possible to have the server software reside on the C: drive, while having my VOD files on seperate D: drive.The staff here wants to separate the software (server in this instance) from the individual flash video files, so they have set up two drives.
I am testing fms this days, I have put all my files(such as 1.mp3,2.mp3...n.mp3) in my directory.I can play single file fine with url like this: rtmp://localhost/mp3/mp3:x/2
but i want to know is there any way to play all files in my direcotry? for example, user click the play button, the player(smp) automatic plays all files in the directory, link windows media server.Should I use playlist? Or there is another better way?
I want to populate my listbox with all the XML files in the same directory as the .swf, but I also want to release my final .swf to others, so I can't just use the directory that directs toward the folder on just my computer. How would I go around doing this, and how would I refer to the selected item in the listbox in order to use the selected file? Sorry if this is actually really easy, but as indicated in the topic title, I not sure how I would go around doing this due to my noobiness in coding.
I have build a flash form that uses php to save variables to a web folder on my site in a text file. There is a .swf file with dynamic txt fields in the same folder it which pulls the data from the txt file. It doesnt seem to pull it as real time as I would like. sometime just once and not after that.When I update the form the text file saves to the web folder ok, but I have to refresh the link to pull the data in or empty browsing history etc.is there a way around anyone can think of so everytime I update the flash form the data come in straight away or after a few seconds.
I am working over a program that needs to extract meta data from music files in different formats. It was easy for MP3 format, but there is nothing for other formats.I made a research, there is a lot of software for extracting meta data - but no source code or algorithm. There are open source projects, they use their own libraries, but I was not able to find something for Flex (Action Script)
I want to change the logs files directory from: C:Program Files (x86)AdobeFlash Media Server 3.5/logs to: D:fmsLogs in adobe in: Home / Flash Media Server 3.5 Configuration and Administration Guide / XML configuration files reference it says:
We develope for multy users OS. So my Air App needs to save some files to let all users acsess them (and be able to acsess them on its own). So I need a function to save files into public directoris (crossplatform function).
I was wondering if it is possible to make and App capable of listening when the user "adds" new files to a directory.
Example:
The User opens up our Application. The user adds new files on the desktop (using the Microsoft Explorer). Our application automatically detects that new files have been added and executes a function or whatever.
Maybe, this could be done using a programming language like Visual Basic and open the executable with the NativeProcess api and listen for an stdOut event.
I really don't know where to start with this. I have many xml files in a specific directory and would like to have a listbox become populated with only those xml file names when a button is pressed.
is there a way to have flash read swf from a directory dynamicaly. so if you add a new one it reads it and you could have a next and previouse button to dynamicly browse throught them.
this way you could just upload new swf and it would automaticaly add it to the set so when you hit next at the end it would read the new one.
i am having with xml being displayed in flash mx.the tutorial on this site works fine, but when i write my own xml file and modify the as, i encounter the problems. ideally, i wolud like to be able to load text files and urls of images to be loaded into flash, flash recognises the xml file fine and actually loads it, however, when i try to use the nodeValue action, i am always given the value "null." this is because flash thinks the node is an element rather than a text node (type 1 rather than 3, when you use nodeType.) i don't know why it does this when it is obviously a text node.
