I got a request today conserning .txt files.What I want to accomplish is to grab information from a text file and save them in variables (or an array, depends).Whats the best way to do this, and whats the do's and don'ts?I'm planning to use the LoadVars class to pass the variables through and i've got a working test, but isn't there a more efficient way to do this?

I have an as3 game that I am trying to debug. To do this, I allow the game to play itself repeatedly over-night (which generates information for around 500k games) and then I analyze the info in the morning. I would like to save the debug info to a text file instead of using trace statements. Currently, the game creates about ten strings per play which are printed to the screen. Is there an easy way to save these strings to a text file?
View 1 RepliesDoes anyone know how to get a script of some kind to grab a picture from a live stream and save it as a JPG file?
In this way a cron job can tricker the script and thereby grab a picture fx every 10'th minute and the picture can be shown on a website so people that are not attending can have a look into what is happening in the live stream.
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.

View 5 Repliesi am making a quick and dirty flash help source for my companies site. Later on i will tweak I will pretty it up. I am going with two movie clips that i believe will be sufficient for now as seen the layout below....[code]....
MC_1 :Is the selection menu.I want to import from a text file the different help sections or catagories....eg.. Setup, Administration, Customizing, etc......Then i want to import from text files that are labelled and corrisponding to each section that will list the actual different help selections...eg..(Setup) would have sub menu options of System Requirements,Server Install, Client Install.I would have these sub menus in listed in different text files for each section heading.
MC_2 :Then when somene clicks on the submenu options like 'Server Install' in the given example Movie Clip 2 would import from yet another text file the actual help information in an HTML format
Questions:For MC_1 I am not sure how I should go about creating it!I assume I will be creating a MC inside of it, one for each variable it pulls in from the Header.txt file.....how do i do that when the number of variables can change?And then it will pull in and create the sub menus one for each variable that it finds in its own text file, again the number can change?From there i should have no problems having the sub menu, when clicked on, would pull the text info in html format into MC_2.
I want to load information from a Text file and then want to use in action script as a variable.What I did. I make a file with the name Text.txt and write there TextFld=You are Good Boy In flash I make a getText.fla in which i build a Text box at stage and set it to dynamic and the name of this variable is also TextFld Instance Name is Txt. Write the following code at main timeline
loadVariables("Text.txt",_root);
pretty fine it shows this information in flash but i want to use this variable in action script to do more action i.e i want to make flashy text. I want to store this information in a variable and then use that variable for other purpose.
how can i save data from the game(like variables) to a file that is in my folder and read the variables from it when i open the game it will read the data from the file(save/load data to a helper file in the game's folder)is there a way to do it?(even with shared objects,as long as it use a file that is in the game's folder)
View 6 RepliesI'm kinda noobish when it comes to getting information from XML information sent to my flash file from the socket server. OK so for example the server sends me this:
[Code]...
I want to get the name of the user and the X and Y position! Is there a way I can get this information without a load of fuss from functions and other junk remember im kinda noobish.
I have an input textfield where the user can enter a long string of numbers, seperated by spaces. Example of this is "2 4 10 20". I made the textbox and made sure it only numbers and spaces can be entered. However, I am looking all over google for a way to split these numbers and save them in a different var when a space is encountered. I don't really know how to even start doing this.
saving in vars does not have to happen in runtime, but only when a button is pressed.
is there also a way to prevent the user from entering a space right after another space?
I have a project that works quite beautifully right now. I have come to my next task. Creating swfs that are loaded into another swf. This newly loaded swf needs to grab some variables from the main swf's document class or global variables class that I have created. I have set the class path as such that it can access the classes as needed. I did not set a document class.
Structure of loaded swf:
core.swf -> loadedBackground.swf -> interactive.swf
1.) Classes are all located in a folder titled classes
2.) cores.swf is outside the classes folder and is linked to document class within the classes folder: BuildCourse.as
3.) swfs folder contains the loadedBackground.swf and interactive.swf
4.) How can interactive.swf grab variables from the main.swf after it is compiled?
I'm trying to grab the number of variables I'm loading using LoadVars.

View 3 RepliesI am trying to save information that I have displaying in my output panel to a .txt fille. I have tried this tutorial here: [URL] but it is not working for me.
I have the output panel displaying information such as:

[URL]
I need to somehow save this information to a text file so I can forward it onto my email. Or if anyone knows a way to forward information from the output panel to your email
I have an .SWF that is a "Share With A Friend" and the text fields are filled in and then the SWF sends the variables to sendToFriend.php and then the email is sent out.. The PHP is working fine and I have all the right codes to send that information from the SWF to to PHP, but the client wants another feature I can't figure out..
They want me to grab data from an XML and use those variables as well, because the XML will have the USER EMAIL and I need to grab the specific data from the XML and I can't find anything that does this..
I barely know where to start. Maybe a simple tutorial that doesn't just load the XML and display the content (I have found that), but rather something that loads the XML, then refers to a specific child and turns the text to a variable to get sent to PHP..
EXAMPLE XML
<client>Joe</client>
<email>JOE@JOE.com</client>
How do I load the XML and directly refer to the <email> information so my PHP file can grab "JOE@JOE.com" ???

View 2 RepliesHow do I make a flash document that records numbers on a server, so that whenever any user uses it, it updates so that when another user accesses it, they will see the current value and can update it. I'm thinking of just starting off simple and making a button that when you click it, the total count for the number of clicks increases by one, but I want to make it so two users using it at the same time will see each others' click and have it updated on their screen (with refreshing).

I have tried using Shared Objects but it just doesn't seem to work for my example as people have already been sorted into time order to create a leaderboard so not all information has to be stored.
I have attached a basic example of what my leaderboard looks like and all I want it to do is remember the leaderboard for the next time somebody logs onto that machine ... ? I may still be able to use Shared Object but I am not sure how to in this situation.
