I have a class that loads data from a text file and puts it into an array called tdv.importedTxtArray (public var).In a separate class i have written [code]The infoArray does not then contain the imported text however because tdv.importedTxtArray is not given its popper contents until about 1/2 a second after the tdvLoader class executes (i.e: when Event.COMPLETE is run and the array is populated with strings from the external text file). Subsequently in the code above infoArray is set to a blank array.How can i get the code in my separate class to ''wait' until tdv.importedTxtArray is properly populated before accessing it.
View 2 RepliesI'm working on a project that involves pulling a number from a text file on a remote server. I am familiar with the intricacies of loadVars and loadVariables, but in this particular case, the text file only contains a number. It is not preceeded by a variable name or anything like that. It is just: 40. Is there a way to pull this into flash without a variable name so I can display it in a dynamic text field?

View 6 RepliesTrying to augment the Kirupa tutorial "ActionScript Text Animation" [URL] to take an external text file. When I switch out the line:

with:

if (success == true) {

I have three dynamic text boxes. variables respectively
(caption0,caption1,caption2).
My xml file is structured as:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<captions>
<caption>Roll over this</caption>
<caption>This is the first Caption.</caption>
<caption>This is the second Caption.</caption>
</captions>
I am trying to create a rollover where when you rollover caption0; caption1 and caption2 are displayed in sequence. Everything works except though only the first caption is ever displayed. For the other two I get "level0.caption1" and "level0.caption2" instead of the text in the xml file above. How do I parse the data so that each of the variables are assigned the text in the xml file?
I will be creating a program to use for data entry. I'll be studying zebras in kenya and I won't have the internet there as I'm recording the data. I'd like to be able to send the data I generate in flash to an external text file. I understand I need some sort of script to do that, but is this something I can run just on my machine? (I'll probably make the data into xml format).

View 2 RepliesI need to hold a couple of variables in an outside file that can be incremented by user activity -- not just during one interaction with the swf, but with every one.I have no problems with using loadVars and I get the loadandsend process; it is just that I have
no background in cgi or asp for holding the variable and being able to update it.I know I cannot write to a txt file -- that is what I have been using thus far with loadVars for importing values, but this will not help me here. I know it should be a fairly simple script -- I also know I ought to pick up php, but for the moment -- until a greater amount of time comes my way -- I turn to you.

View 1 RepliesHaving done loads of it in the first few years of this century, I've not done much Flash in the past few years, been focused on PHP/MySQL Development. Anyway, I now need to use the data from a MySQL database offline in a Flash executable so I'm jumping back in with AS3. There are several tables involved and I can write a script to export the data to whatever format is best.
XML or CSV? Should I get it all into one file with all the data or is it possible to do the quivalent of joined queries once the data is in Flash? I don't need a full explanation at this stage,
I built a simple application to load XML data using a external XML file. However, the link I am using will have a different Presentation ID each time a user creates a presentation.

Is there a way to load the URL dynamically or set my url loader up so it loads whatever ID there is?

I'm having trouble with this script. I have an external text file, from which all of the text on the page is loaded. I also have a series of thumbnails, but I need to have different numbers on each page, so I figured I'd put the number of thumbnails into the text file too and then run a loop to create the thumbnails and buttons dynamically. The loop works fine, until I try to use the value I have loaded from the text file. I think it is something to do with it being in a separate function, but I have tried making it _global.counter, I have tried putting the whole for() loop inside the myData.onLoad function. Basically, I have tried everything I can think of and still the loop does not run when the counter value is specified externally.

I have a bit of a problem finding the correct syntax. I have a whole lot text variables here. The myLV value is in a external text file. So myLV.nr1 from my external textfield is loaded in ovrnr1.text. This way I can easily change the value in my text document.
ovnr1.text = myLV.nr1;
ovnr2.text = myLV.nr2;
ovnr3.text = myLV.nr3;
ovnr4.text = myLV.nr4;
If I put it like this it works fine but I thought, hey, in stead of writing
150 of these I can put it in a for loop. So I tried this.
for (i=1; i<150; i++) {
ovnr[i].text = myLV.nr[i];
}
However, this does not seem to work ? And could I do it to a button too ? So instead of writing 150 button onrollovers I could also make a loop for it ?
Something like
for (i=1; i<150; i++) {
this.btn[i].onRollOver = function() {

I am trying to load dynamic data into text fields with in flash (.swf) the system is a closed circuit (no internet & web access) basically there are about 10 standalone computers connect through a network and one central computer i created a flash which will be downloaded to all the computers at once and each computer has a unique (name).My goal is to load the different data into the text field for each computer:Computer 1 would have winner 1 Computer 2 would have winner 2and so one........Steps the code should do..1. call function and load the "unique (name)."of the computer by going to("c:/myharddrive/local.ini"); flash will reconize the "ini file to say "this is computer 12. then have the txt request come from("c:/CMS/MediaFiles/Data2.txt");when i publish the file out there is no errors-When I view the files on each computer there is no data (blank screen")so my guess it is not seeing the path for newURLRequest("c:/myharddrive/local.ini");r new URLRequest("c:/CMS/MediaFiles/Data2.txt");can anyone breakdown the code and let me know how flash can go to those specific areas on each individual computer and pull the data into flash
