How do I handle php gibberish when loading url-encoded variables? If either vars or no vars return I have a way of executing an event, but if html/php errors return in the string, how can I tell the program to execute an event?

How flash setup a variable to handle the newly created movieclip?
Example:
this.createEmptyMovieClip("mymovie",2);
this.clientscroller.setScrollContent(mymovie);
Where did I set it up as a variable? I tried this and didn't work either:
this.createEmptyMovieClip("mymovie",0);
mymovie.createTextField("mytext",1,100,100,300,100 );
I would like your advices on how to handle loading errors which is dependent on network or maybe timeouts from server. I have a game hosted on a dedicated server but it seems that some users from different locations are experiencing loading errors.Is there anyway we can detect a timed-out loading? How should one handle loading errors for an online game in general depending on network connection? For example, loading of game assets etc.
View 1 RepliesAm making an xml-driven boardgame and was wondering if there is an established methodology for handling fairly large amounts of xml? I'm pretty familiar with working with small amounts of xml and have my loader class in place, etc. However, I'm unsure as how best to handle the sequencing of loading in several xml files, where to store the data once it is loaded and then cascade it down to the various classes which will use the data.
View 1 RepliesI'm coding a website in pure AS3 using FlashDevelop and have an object that loads an XML file on init. Is there a good way to make my main function wait until it has finished loading? I know about onComplete events and how to use them internally in the object but I'm not sure how to proceed.
View 1 RepliesI'm creating a scrollbar gallery from a tutorial on this site. Though I've completed the tutorial, and customised the gallery to my own needs, however I'm trying to make a very small change to it - and no matter what I do, keep running into problems. I'm trying to replace the rectangular handle with my own customised handle - a (20 x 20) 'circular' png image that I've imported into Flash, made a graphic and stored in the library (though I understand it can be imported using actionscript, like the other images in the gallery).

We are making a system that has a main swf for the application, and loads separate tools from separate swfs -- there will be versioning issues in the future since the separate swfs are coming from a cms (especially now since we're still developing, but also in the future when other developers might create an incompatible tool). I'm trying hard to prevent them as much as possible but I'd really like to be able to display a message to the user of the system when an incompatible swf is loaded.
This would mean that we need to catch that VerifyError or at least determine the loading failed for some reason - I've got no idea how to handle that at the moment. I suspect it might be possible using 10.1 and the uncaughtError system, but we are currently targeting flash player 10. Does anyone have a good idea? (we are already handling IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR)
UPDATE: I've built a solution that scans the bytecode before importing, looks like that will work. I'll post the solution later.
is there a way to resize an flv? i have a client that gave me a set of FLVs that a previous designer made for him. the client no longer has the original mpgs. these flvs are much larger than we need them for the new site, and if i just resize them from flash on playback they look terrible and are an unnecessary longer download. i tried importing the flvs into flash's encoder, flixpro and squeeze and haven't had any luck.

When I try to import an MP3 file (specs below) I just bought off Amazon into Flash CS4, I get an error that reads "One or more files were not imported because there were problems reading them." I tried other MP3 files and they worked no problem. Does anyone know if there's a specific type of MP3s that Flash hates? Maybe I need to convert my MP3 to be encoded differently?

How do I decode a Base32 encoded string in Actionscript?
I need to convert a base64 encoded string from a server (being sent via amf) to an image. on the server the raw image data (gif / jpeg / png) is being encoded to base64 (which already works fine), and I need to decode this string and display the image in my flash movie.
View 2 RepliesI've created a simple drag-and-drop dress-up game. The aim is that users will create a monster by dragging and dropping, and that an image of that monster will be sent to me, and I will create a toy that looks like the monster.
So once users are happy with the final look, and have filled in their details on the page, I would like them to be able to click a button that will send me the encoded jpeg of how the swf currently looks. I could then recreate the image using image magick or something similar, I guess?
I realise that this may require PHP, but as I have never used it before I thought that perhaps it may be possible to use getpixel to get an encoded text string of the stage and then send that to myself via "mailto"?
I found an old thread which showed how to get javascript to send flash a variable obtained from the URL which loads it's html page [URL].. It works a treat in Firefox but for some reason in IE it doesn't show the swf file it merely shows a white box where the swf should be and a scrollbar next to it.

View 1 RepliesI'm developing a flex application that displays a list of images along with some metadataThe images are less than 500kb. They are stored in the database as base64 encoded stringsretrieved using PHP, send over to flex as XML (which creates a fairly large XML output file)Now my problem is that, while I can display upto 2-3 images easily, anything more than 3 or sometimes 2 images will cause the images to be corrupt. Sometimes the whole app fails.I am guessing this is due to the large size of the generated XML. I know I am doing something wrong here. I want to know what is the proper method for storing/retrieving a lot of images in a flex application.

Update:Loading the XML document from an external file does not have the same problem:
var myXML:XML = new XML();
myXML.load("someXmlFile.xml");
//This works
However I need this xml to be built into the SWF. So am creating the XML from a string:
var xmlString:String = "<root><textNode>bebè</textNode></root>";
var myXML:XML = new XML(xmlString); //This breaks the encoding?!
So I was using Flash Develop to edit the actionscript that contains the xml. This was apparently not encoding the text correctly.
I have an environment where strings are percent encoded by Actionscript escape() function and then passed to Java for decoding.I have for example a test string "m é". It is passed to Actionscript escape() that outputs "m%20%E9" When I try to decode it with Java:
URLDecoder.decode("m%20%E9", "UTF-8")
The result is:
"m ?"
%E9 seems the unicode point for "é" character, but it is not quite understood by Java decode.Is there a way to decode in Java the strings encoded by Actionscript escape()?What escape format do these function use since they seem to be different?
Flash will be receiving a Base-64 encoded image (from a web service) and need to convert & display that image on the stage.
For conceptual purposes, I'm omitting the web-service aspect for now and just reading in a Base-64 string, generated from an online service.
Now that I have the data into Flash, how do I properly convert it to an image and display it.
Been trying to figure this out for a few but no luck. I want to just make a new node and add it to an XML structure. So I've tried things like :

It is my desire to transmit some data encoded in Action Message Format (AMF3) over a socket to and from Flash. I need to know two things:
1) How to read AMF3 data off a Flash Socket object. I'm assuming it will come through as an array of bytes and that array of bytes must be decoded into actual Actionscript Strings/Arrays/Objects or whatever.
2) How to turn Actionscript vars into AMF encoded binary strings.

I am able to record sound from microphone, encode it using SPEEX and write into ByteArray. I want to play it back. If I try using Sound object the audio is messed up. Speex uses 16kHz for encoding and Sound Object needs 44.1kHz for playing audio. How am I supposed to play this encoded sound.
