I have a swf that reads a XML file. Here's the thing. If I have the fla open and I hit cntrl+enter to run it, everything works fine. But if I just open the swf, it doesn't read the xml. The swf is in the same directory as the xml file. I have tried everything. I even slammed my head on the wall on 3 different occasions.
View 2 RepliesI want to read an Atom in Flex.I can see in the debugger that he can read the Atom and that there are entries, I can see each value. So far, so good.But when I want to assign a value from the atom to a variable, he never gives any text. It's always this: "".
My code:
ch.Name = xml.title;
ch.Desc = xml.subtitle;
ch.Updated = xml.updated;
[code]....
But that's strange, because I can see in the debugger that it schould be "Tweakers.net".It becomes even more strange, because it works just fine with RSS.
What is the best way to open and parse and excell file from a Flex Application built using Adobe Flash Builder 4.5. I have done tons of research, most lead me to external libraries, I could deal with that if that is the best approach, but prefer a built in method.
View 3 RepliesI'm thinking about making a game that would have 3 "save slots", so you could play the game and then load the game later. If you were to save the game, basically flash would store a list of variable values into a text file.
Let's say I have game.swf in a folder named MyGame.Also in that folder I'll have save1.txt, save2.txt, and save3.txt. If I'm loading a game, I'd want Flash to open that txt file, read the values, and then set the variables equal to that in the text file. So if you open save1.txt and you see a=1, b=3, and c=2, I'd want flash to then take those values and set it's own same variable a = 1, b = 3, and c = 2.
On the other hand, if you're saving a game, let's say a=10, b=10, and c=10, I'd like it for flash to open save1.txt and replace the text there with a list of the current variables.Flash would need to do one more thing... if for some reason the file were deleted, Flash would need to create a new txt file. If the txt file is missing, you couldn't load, but if you're trying to save to save1.txt and that file doesn't exist, I'd need flash to create a new save1.txt and then put the variables into it.
I have everything done to load a text from an XML file in my flash movie, but it shows the text only if it is written in EN i want to type the text in the XML file in Cyrillic but flash doesnt want to read it... I tried to change the Embed Characters of my text field but it still doesn't want to read it. I have added this to my XML: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> and still the same thing.
View 1 RepliesIn my emptyMC, i'm calling a newsticker, that needs an external .as class to works propertly. But when it opens, it doesn't read my _x and _y coordinates and neither the .as.
My code to it, is in a frame:
Code:
this.createEmptyMovieClip ("noticias", 2);
loadMovie("newsticker.swf", noticias);
noticias._y = -50;
noticias._x = 0;
In my first frame I have locked the root with:
this._lockroot = true and i has been working perfectly.
Also in the root in a frame i'm loading a music.swf.
for further doubts, just ask.

I am trying to send a php variable with one field from mysql. When I print the php variable on my php page it outputs the field, but when I try to send it to flash it doesn't output anything.Here is my php script that tries to send a mysql field to flash and there nothing is shown. It works on my php page, it outputs the mysql field.
$product=$result['product'];

View 1 RepliesI have an AIR application with 2-3 DropDownLists and a bunch of other controls. The DropDownLists are bound to dataproviders (ArrayCollections) in a central Model singleton. On launch, they all work fine.
However, when I click a button to add new objects to an object in another ArrayCollection in the same Model, the DropDownLists get weird. They still register clicks, and all other controls still work as before, but the dropdowns won't open. Clicking/waiting enough usually opens the dropdown, but if I don't make another selection it still won't open after closing. Making a different selection makes that DropDownList work again, but the others might still refuse to open.
If I open the dropdowns using Ctrl + Down arrow, they work all the time, so it's only the click that doesn't trigger the open correctly. I can work around the problem by calling openDropDown() on the dropdown when clicked, but that doesn't feel right.
I'm using the 4.1 SDK, and the dropdowns are s:DropDownLists. I tried using mx:ComboBoxes instead, but got the same behavior. Edit: Weirdly enough, using s:ComboBoxes they work as they should, but I really don't want to use them since they seemingly can't be made non-editable.

View 6 RepliesI am developping a as3 project for a kiosk that should run in full screen mode.I am using eclipse for the programming and Flash CS4 to prepare all the swf library assets.Once I publish the swf, I open it in the flash player and export the file as a projector file.
When I open the projector file it doesn't go full screen automatically.
Where can I set the project to go full screen?In the code?Or is there a preference setting for the projector file?Or another way to publish the projector file that will allow me to set the full screen mode?I remember using fscommand in as2 but that doesn't seem to work anymore.
I have a simple website and I am going from one page(flash file) to another page(different flash file) using the following code.

This works fine, but I want to be able to use "_self" so I open the new page in the same window yet it doesn't seem to work.
This is because I use movie clips within other movie clips.
I wondered if anyone knew a workaround or trick that I could use to get text into google. I have a couple ideas but they're just ideas.
I would like to create an alternate page that is not flash, but a regular html page with all of the text I want google to read inside it. Somehow I use code to tell it that when a user clicks on the link, to redirect them to the flash webpage, but when a search engine sees it, to send the search engine/google to that regular html page, where it will gather all of the text and then that text will show up on google's page when you do a search and my site on google? Even if this was possible, would google frown upon this and ban me or something?
The other idea I have is to use invisible text at the bottom of my page. This will be regular html text that is the same color as my background. But I heard this can get you banned from search engines like google if you are using lots of keywords, but I wouldn't be using keywords. I'd be using the few sentences of content that their stupid crappy technology doesn't read, forcing me to bust my hump trying to find a workaround for. It sucks that google doesn't even use keywords in my metadata for rankings either. So I can't even use that with them.

here comes Explorer destroying any attemp of web design. I've made a flash menu for my joomla site. The menu works great in FF but guess what, this doesn't work in IE 7. This is the simple line of code: navigateToURL(new URLRequest("[URL]"), "_blank"); In FF after the fb button is clicked it goes to the link in a new window....but in Explorer this doesn't work. If I leave it by default: navigateToURL(new URLRequest("[URL]"));
Same result: FF yes - IE7 none What do I must to code in orther to that "Pseudo-Browser" opens a simple New Window. Sorry about the tone but I'm about to cry cause there could'nt be something simplier than this line of code.
The title essentially is the question, how do I open the .swf without the browser's control bar junk? and maximize the window?

A friend of mine has a Flash Action script running on a LAMP server that currently reads an xml config file. He's asked me if it's possible to remove the xml file, and replace it somehow with a system (lets call it an 'auto xml generator') that intercepts the request to read that file and generates an output, so it appears to all intents and purposes as if the file still exists and contains the contents that has actually been returned from our auto xml generator'
