i am having a problem when reading text form an external txt file into a textbox, the problem is that when i test/ debug my movie on my local computer the text displays from the file but after i have uploaded to my server and try and view it via the internet no text appears
Code:
var urlhome:String = "homeText.txt";
var loadit:URLLoader = new URLLoader();

I am trying to read a text file in. I have a list of images to be shown one after the other.Placing them on separate lines in the text file is preferable for editing in a text file because notepad does not wrap.S_DSC_0106.jpgS_DSC_0218.jpgS_DSC_0768.jpgS_DSC_0790.jpg

I have a text file containing html formatted text which I try to get into a textfield. All works fine locally and even on my localhost test server, but when uploading to the real server - I get a blank.

Once the text file is assigned to a variable, spaces for example are replaced by %5F.My text file: bddtxt.txt Content of text file: 1_1_0,2 3_2 3 4_0,4_5_0,5_6 7_0,6_8_0,7 8_9 10_0,9_11_0 My script (Flash 6):
ActionScript Code:
var liens = new LoadVars();
liens.load(_global.url+"bddtxt.txt");

Using Flash CS4 professional And Action-script 3.0 I am currently working on an mp3 player in flash.I have my main fla file in my root folder.Also in my root folder is a folder names 'source_files'Inside the 'source_files' folder there is.A folder named 'songs' (which holds several mp3 files) and a text file named track_list.txt The text in track_list.txt is set out as follows (example values used).
//song1
//song2
Where '//' represents the start of the name of each song.
From within the project I have a code that loads track_list.txt and uses the split function to split the loaded data into an array before adding 'source_files/songs' to the beginning of each index of the array.

In the tutorial with that name there is this code:
Code:

loadText = new loadVars();

I'm using this example [URL] at the moment, using buttons to feed text into a dynamic text box. What I've done is changed it to 'on (rollOver)' when the text pops up, and what I'd like to do is have a on (rollOut) and have it load a blank.txt so the text dissapears when you move your mouse away.

Basically, when a small link is clicked, the big title is meant to swoop down and the new page title is meant to swoop up. This isn't working, other than when the page is first loaded. The actionscript I'm using (as2) is:[code]
View 6 Repliesi have a Air Project in which i have added three extenal source folders. but when i reopen project or strat flash builder again i get icon on those folder like this but when i open the configuration for that project and try to validate the path and adding it again i get message like this but the path is valid. proof is this pic what could be possible error,,, is there any way that i when ever re-open project i get no warning and able to navigate through the linked source code. now i am doing it
1- deleting on of the linked folder
2- again adding that folder.
how i can combine these two tutorials to achieve a dynamic text from an external source that types itself.

Secondly can ne one turn this (attached file) into a movieclip in flash without loosing it's continous particallizing effect.
I created a dynamic text box and gave it the instance name "body" however i loaded the text from an external source using one of my classes. how do i reference the dynamic text box on the stage from my class???
View 3 RepliesCurrently I am using SWFDOTNET libray for reading and writing swf file,which supports swf file from version 1 to 7.Is there any other open C# source lib for reading and writing swf flash which supports swf file version 8,9 and 10?
View 1 RepliesI turn to you for help, dear sweet Kirupa Forumites. First, let me explain the problem: I have a flash file reading an external text file for the content. Everything works perfectly for nearly everyone - you click a menu button, and the content text comes up fine. However, a couple of people have found that the text shows up as "undefined". I have checked the player versions of the people where it doesn't work, and it is the same as for those where it does work, so that ain't the problem.
I don't understand why it works perfectly for nearly everyone, but a small number of people have this "undefined" text problem. It seems to be a problem with loading the external text file, but I don't know why. I have a main flash movie, and load the text in the first frame, using the following:
var my_content = new LoadVars();
my_content.load("content.txt");
my_content.onLoad = function(success){
if (success){
[Code]...
I then have a couple of dynamic text boxes in the main movie - one called ErrorText (for displaying an error message to the user) and one called ContentText (for displaying the content). I use an external menu swf which jumps to a specific frame in the main movie, depending on which button is clicked. Actionscript on the main movie frame for the first button does the following, with the other frames similarly configured:
ContentText.htmlText = my_content.content1;
stop();
My external text file is properly configured (content1=blah blah&content2=other blah blah) etc.
Does anyone have any advice on how I can solve this particular weird problem??
I'm trying to pass a variable into my program through an external .txt file. Here's the basic code:
numberOfColors = new LoadVars();numberOfColors.onLoad = function(){ numberOfColors_text.text = this.myNumberOfColors;};numberOfColors.load("Text/NumberOfColors.txt");
[code].....
I've tried every example I could find, but nothing really worked. What I'm looking for the to actionscript code (without using classes - i'd like to do all the code in the section of the mxml file) to load in an XML file that is stored in the same location as the swf file.

I'm writing an app that I want to ideally pull a random entry from a txt file. Each row of the txt document has 12 separate entries. When I use LoadVariables to read the file, I get the entire file. I cannot for the life of me figure out how to parse the individual lines.
I have so many questions I don't know where to begin...
First, do I need to use varName= in front of each item in the text file? Second, does flash anything that will allow you to read a file by line, then parse based on tab delimiters? Third, should I be using something besides loadVariables to retrieve data, or should I be using something besides a txt document?
this will get me started, but there is still the matter of randomly selecting a line in the txt document.
I'm importing a SWF by URLRequest, and I need to read from a var that is in there (actually, is a textfield).

var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("keyboard.swf");
var loader:Loader = new Loader();

as I'm trying to cast my displayobjet to a movieclip I though I would be able, but im not
Okay i have a problem where I am reading an ASP page into my flash. It works fine when I am reading into the dynamic text fields but when I want to use a variable for something in the actual flash nothing is working.I am reading a Database and everything is working just great, except that there are no more records to read! I have a variable named last which is displayed during the last record set so that i could use it to end the display of the records.I tried setting it up in an if statement...
if (last =="yes")
{
counter = 0;
}
my program pretty much just ignores this statement but when i read the variable last into a dynamic text field on the last record set it will display yes
I need to read an external information from a TXT file or from an XML file, but as a number. I know Number() should convert string to number, but seems like the XML gives me an array, while I used XPath.selectNodes(durationXML, "/xml/@")... I used this code:
Code:
durationXML = new XML();
durationXML.ignoreWhite = true;
durationXML.load("duration.php?filename=projects/tracks

what would be the best way to do the following :
Allow me to briefly sketch the situation i'm in; On my stage i've got a collection of movieclips, each has an unique name. These MC's represent regions of a country on a map.
The most basic task i'd like to achieve is when the user mouse-overs one of these regions, it displays some relative info on the region (Name, size, population etc)
I was thinking about storing this info externally from the fla/swf itself. When the swf lauches it would retrieve the corresponding info for each region.
Having this data outside the swf would make editing and upkeeping it more easy.
I'm leaning towards looking into an XML-file to do this ? (SQL sounds neat but i have no expirience with it)
The Swf would be hosted on a site, but i see it evolve as an AIR-app in the future.
Im making a component for a companies wesite, it is simple enough they want a list of phrases to be displayed one at a time in random order... not a problem. Its just that they want to be able to update the phrases themselves = external txt file to populate the array. I dont work with arrays often enough so I was wondering if someone could tell me the way to populate an array using values in an external txt file.

View 2 RepliesHow to load variables from an external source? For example, Lets say I have a movieclip that contains 6 keyframes, and I want flash to load the proper keyframe when the main swf is opened. Flash knows what the proper keyframe is, because that variable is stored in a MySQL database, or txt file, or xml file, or whatever. Also, how could i have flash write to an external file, so that i can save the changes.

View 3 RepliesI'm trying to have Flash execute a file, and I can get FSCOMMAND to work. Sort of. While I can use it to run a single batch file, what I really need to do is to pass a parameter from within Flash to the item being executed. I'm currently using Flash to allow a user to select some items, and I need to pass that selection out of it in order to kick off some other processes (Flash is basically just my GUI interface right now until I learn more about how to do things in it).
I don't care if it's a batch file or JavaScript or anything that's not uber complex (so no .NET or C++). I just need to find something that we can run internally for our company (either from an .HTML or a .EXE file output from Flash - not too picky there either).
I have a very Simple Flash Player built in AS2. FlashCS3 I want it to load one external movie from root folder. BUT! i don't want to load a specific file name. I need the player to load whatever the file names. for example: if my file name is: Video.swf i want the player load it. and if i change the file name to video2007.swf it will still be able to load it.

I wanna design a custom scroller kinda like the on...

I see this all over the place, so I'm pretty sure this is possible! Point me towards a tutorial or post an .fla with an example or something, I'm guessing a few other people may be interested too!
