ActionScript 3.0 :: Loading A Local Xml File Into Swf?
Jun 25, 2009
I'm having a problem loading a local xml file into my swf. My ultimate goal is to parse the xml file into a list of guests attending a party. Here is the code I have:
Code:
var loader:URLLoader;
function loadXML():void
{
[Code]....
As you can see, the first trace statement outputs the xml file with the tags and all. The second trace statement outputs nothing. I did try uploading the xml file to a server, and then using [URL] as the URL for the URLRequest, but that didn't work either.

In my Flash application, the SWF file is located on a serverand is downloaded to clients in a controlled network. I want to beable to load XML data located on the client machines into the SWFfile. It looks like security settings is not allowing thi tohappen, as the local files are treated as a separate sandbox.If I were to use System.security.allowDomain, how do Ipecify local files? It's not a domain or URL. Or is there another way to do this? I'm wading through thesecurity information, but I haven't found the solution yet.

While trying to develop some Android app I ran into the following problem:I load an swf file to a WebView, that makes js calls. I want to catch those js calls, so I useWebViews.addJavascriptInterface() to do so.Everything worked just fine when i loaded the swf file from a remote server, but when I load the same swf file form the Android file system, the javascript methods seem not to run (at least I cannot see them).

I have a HTML box and load a local html file from the project. In this HTML file I use jquery and I want to load an image from my user directory. I see the image from my user directory but jquery doesn't works. I get this error:
[Code]...
But if I load an image from the app workspace, everything works fine (I see the image and Jquery works). Is this a policy problem? The error says that is a "null object reference" problem, but this can't be true...

I'm trying to load a local xml file:
xmlLoader.load(new URLRequest("../xml/xmlData.xml"));
But I'm getting this security sandbox violation:
#2148: Only local-with-filesystem and trusted local SWF files may access local resources.
I don't get this error when I embed the XML file directly with the EMBED metadata tag.

I'm creating a portfolio sitethat has an AS3 Flash navigation in one div (#main-left) and what I'd like it to do is load local .html files in the div next to it (#main-right). I had gotten it working by placing an iframe inside the right div, and calling it with:

function contactURL(e:MouseEvent):void{

I followed less second tutorial on AMFPHP+MYSQL+Flash; I got the data from MYSQL database and AMFPHP loaded in flash; and I was able to trace these as separate variables and then display them in dynamic text boxes in flash, however when I upload my .swf and html page etc to my website it doesn't load the variables in the text fields they just stay blank and I am left with a blank background. I just want to show my friends what I've accomplished today; as I've only been using Flash/AS3 for about three weeks now; I can only do this by uploading it to my website but it wont work once I've uploaded it there.

At the moment I'm using FlashDevelop to make an entirely AS3 Project, my first task was to load a local '.png' into a MovieClip. So This was the code I was using:
Code:
package {
import flash.display.Bitmap;
import flash.display.Loader;
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.display.Sprite;
[Code] .....
It compiles fine but I get this error when it runs:
"Error #2044: Unhandled IOErrorEvent:. text=Error #2035: URL Not Found."

I am new to Flash/ActionScript, and I am having a lot of fun creating a project in Flash. am working on a character tracker (yes I am totaly geeking out) an I was wondering how to save the data I have entered into the project (hit points etc...) and load it back next time I opened it. The data would be saved on my local machine. How can I get Flash/ActionScript to do this?

I have an HTML file which contains a Flash .FLV player; which then loads a given FLV video and plays it. The idea is all these files are stored locally on the PC as part of an application install, we use HTML/flash for the help/manual. On my PC it works fine but on a user's PC nothing is displayed. However if I host the exact same file-structure online and give them the URL, it works perfectly.
I am guessing this is a security issue of some sort but have no idea how to address it. The browser being used is actually a XULRunner app, i.e it's the FireFox 3 engine but not actually FF. Since my PC isa developer PC it's entirely possible I've done something in the past on another project that makes it work, rather than my PC being special in some way. For reference the HTML has the following in it - this is generated from some 3rd-party app:

Im not sure if this is possible in AS2 but i will ask anyway! Would it be possible to have a standalone SWF which gives the user the ability to browse their computer files and then load a picture for example? I know this can be done in AIR but im restricted to AS2 only!

Trying to make an image appear by loading a .jpg from my project's folder on my computer.
This happens: SecurityError: Error #2000: No active security context.
Other topics for this error involve timers, wrappers and bugs. What I am wishing to do here seems so basic it couldn't possibly require such complication. By default my local playback security is checked to "Access local files only".
I spent 3 weeks reading about ActionScript so I can make a game and I can't even load an image from an assets folder onto the stage. All I can do is trace a note to myself in the output window. I may not have even structured this code effectively. A lot of examples have features I would rather avoid until I have this basic task accomplished.
Here is my code:
package {
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.display.Loader;
import flash.net.URLRequest;

I was following the 'news-ticker tutorial' the other day but couldn't get to work with the embedded font (yes, the embedded font contains these characters).It works great if I'm loading the xml from a local path but the thing with this news-ticker is that the xml-content will be updated as you reload the page (not saved in cache).Therefor the path to the xml-file looks like this

I want to make an application that loads some images with a Loader by making URLRequests to a local folder. Can I build the application and include somehow this folder so when I send it from a server to a client the URLRequests operate normally on clients side? Also if this is possible, the folder may be not viewable/accessible by the client but only from the Flash application that comes with it? So for example, this piece of code that runs nicely, locally, to my machine, if i send it to a client will continue to run to its machine. Can somehow send the folder and the SWF as one object?
private function clothesOn( outfit:String ) {
var clothier:Loader = new Loader();
var item:String = "clothes/" + outfit + ".gif";
var getItem:URLRequest = new URLRequest( item );
clothier.load( getItem );
this.addChild( clothier );
}

I need to be able to save and load images into an SQLite database using Flex 4.5 for a mobile application. The use case is this:
Inside the view there is a spark Image object with a URL as a source
When user clicks button, the Image is saved to an SQLite db inside a BLOB field.
In a separate Image, the source is set to the ByteArray stored in the db.
The biggest question so far is this: where do I get the ByteArray for a loaded Image? I've tried debugging and inspecting Image, BitmapImage, and BitMapData but there's no sign of the byte array.... perhaps it's inside the ContentLoader? But that's null unless I enable caching.
I've done some research and there are no complete examples for how to handle this. I've written a simple View that anyone can copy and paste into a new project. It will compile without errors and can be used for testing. I will update this code as I get the answers I need so that anyone can have a fully working example of this workflow.The only caveat: I used a synchronous connection to the DB to avoid complicating the code with event handlers, I wanted to keep it as simple as possible.I will only mark this question as answered once it is fully functioning both ways.
UPDATE SEPT. 09 2011: The code below is now fully functioning in both directions (save and load). Here are some of the things I've learned: It turns out that the ByteArray of a spark Image can be found inside the LoaderInfo of the image itself. Like this:
image.loaderInfo.bytes
However, trying to set this ByteArray as the source of another image ( image2.source = image1.loaderInfo.bytes) results in this security error: Error #3226: Cannot import a SWF file when LoaderContext.allowCodeImport is false.Which is too bad because it would save so much time and processing power.the workaround is to encode the ByteArray using either a JPEGEncoder or a PNGEncoder. I used the JPEGEncoder which produces much smaller files. Here's how:
var encoder:JPEGEncoder = new JPEGEncoder(75);
var imageByteArray:ByteArray = encoder.encode(imageToSave.bitmapData);
Now the problem is saving these bytes to the DB. Saving them as they are now will not work once we read them out, I'm not sure why. So the solution is to encode them into a base64 string like this:
var baseEncoder:Base64Encoder = new Base64Encoder();
baseEncoder.encodeBytes(imageByteArray);
var encodedBytes:String = baseEncoder.toString();
So now just save that string into the BLOB field and later read it out. However, you have to decode it from a base64 string to a ByteArray like this:
var encodedBytes:String = result.data[0].imagedata;
var baseDecoder:Base64Decoder = new Base64Decoder();
baseDecoder.decode(encodedBytes);
var byteArray:ByteArray = baseDecoder.toByteArray();
Now assign the bytearray as the source of your image and you're done. Simple right?if you find any optimizations or alternative ways to do this.I will respond and keep this code updated if need be.

I'm trying to load a radar image over a google map. The problem is, I'd like to load the image from a local file. I understand how to do this remoteley via a url, buit not from a local file. I've read something about embedding, but I don't know what embedding means. I'm going to need this image to change, and eventaully want to have a loop of images playing over the map. Below is what I have so far. You can see I've commented out the line with the url loading, and have a fail attempt at loading locally below it.[code]...

I am opening and testing data using the FileStream class which is supposed to avoid file security issues. It works fine until I try to save to a local file. When I test under adl I get a security error which I though was ok (at least it was attempting to save) until the app was packaged and tested on a device, but the file fails to save.

var file:File;
var xmldata:XML;
