ActionScript 3.0 :: Run Function When Data In XML File Changes?
Mar 22, 2009
So, my situation is like this: I have an XML file. I load the file to flash and display data. But this XML file can be changed by some other system, updates data,.. Now, i want to update my data in flash also. What i have done is use timer and check XML file every... let's say second. And i don't wanna do that...
I just want to know what the data in XML file changed and update at that time, otherwise do nothing.
So, i was wondering if that is possible. Is it possible for AS3 to get an event or something, when XML file changes.
I know i could do that with FMS or Red5 and shared objects... but let's say that that is not the best option in our case.
So, can I listen to changes in XML file??

I am trying to load a variable from data in a text file.I can read the text file fine but the variable data seems only to be available with in the function that reads it. I need to use the variable data outside of the function.
This is the actionscript code i'm using.
var pathVars= new LoadVars();
pathVars.onLoad=function(ok) {
if(ok)

This is where the path_var becomes undefined
trace("This is outside the function... "+path_var);
pathVar1="This is outside the function... "+path_var;

How can I save data to a text file and also append a record to data in an existing text file? I've used Authowrware previously and it was quite easy to create a large string of data (a comma separated list) and export that to a text file (and create the text file if it didn't already exist). I could then easily append additional rows of data (records) to the text file. We want to build a questionnaire that will store the data locally on the computer in a text file. Each record may have a few hundred data points in a comma separated list.

I am the fan of kirupa but this is my first thread in forum. I have some problem with sendAndLoad method with actionscript 2.0. I am developing a online game with flash mx , MS SQL 2000 and asp. The problem is I send the data using sendAndLoad method to asp file and get data back from asp file. But when the internet connection is not good there is a problem like jam or lost packets. How can I prevent the lost of packets. Some of the data are important. Is there any way to solve this?

I have 2 functions, 1 loaded before another. Some value are determine by the other function data, but since one of it has to load before the other 1, how should I get the data that is loaded after current function?
private function wMessage():void {
Message.width=Name.width+20;
}
[Code]....
I've taken out some other unnecessary codes, but as you can see Name position is set according by the position + width of Message, but I want Message's width to be not smaller than Name

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).

I have an xml file (externally saved) that is similar to the following:
[root]
[main]
[title]...[/title]
[Code]....
What I like to do is to get what's in [title] tag using HTTPservice, import it into Flex, and save it as array objects, and do the same thing for [content]. This way I can later refer the array object saying title[0] or content[2].

this is my current cv, painstakenly written in flash: [URL] I was told that I can use an external data file and load this into a flash file with xml, i am trying to make an xml file that will do what you see here above. But i cannot get the information to load properly where each title is separate (bold) and the description underneath it (plain text). i cannot get my cv to show up in a linear format as it only shows the
first entry and then stops.

I am seeing repeated comments on this discussion forum that it's not possible to save data from Flash into a locally stored XML file . . . but there must be a way to do this. Why is you can read data from a locally stored XML file but not update or add data to it. how absurd a design would that be, it simply wouldn't be logical!

I am attempting to get data from an xml file load in flash. I followed a tutorial in a new fla and it seemed to work fine, I then tried to adapt it to my own needs which worked fine. But then when trying to implement this into my news section it doesn't seem to work. I am trying to make a news section, that displays the date and news article. This is in within a movie clip, I even tried putting it in the timeline of the scene but still nothing.
- I have 2 dynamic text boxes, date_txt and news_txt
- The xml file is named news.xml,
- both the fla and the xml are in the same folder
This is the actionscript I am using:
function loadXML(loaded) {
if (loaded) {
_root.thedate =

I have written a ac3 script to upload files to remote servers and it is working as expected with all the events.
From the server side script i am echoing some text according to the upload status and i want that status to be received in flash like response text in ajax.
Is it possible to receive response text from a server script after uploading a file.
Or it doesn't have to be a file upload yet i wanted to have the string echoed in the server side script as response text in flash.
If that is not possible like ajax or normal request and response then is there another ways of achieving that?
Here is the code which gets executed when upload is complete.
fr.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, function(e:Event): void
{
lblPer.text = 'Completed';

I have a main swf file and config.xml located in the same directory. My .swf file uses config.xml to fetch config variable which it does with success.The problem appears when I put those files into Flex directory. I embed .swf file like this.
<mx:Image id="loading" source="@Embed('/blobs/visualLogo/mySwfFile.swf')"
visible="true" horizontalCenter="0"/>
I also place config.xml into /blobs/visualLogo/
This time I get an error in Flex:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.

I want to retrieve data from a Database and display inside a datagrid in a Flex web application. The way I'm thinking of doing it is :
Send the Query data from .mxml file to the .jsp page using HTTPService. In the .jsp, connect to the database and retrieve the data using select statements. send the results back to the .mxml using HTTPService.
I know what to use but I have an ambiguity. In the (.mxml) I use xxx.send() to send the data. What do I use in the (.jsp) to send it back ? I know that I should store the results in an XML in the .jsp file, but how to do that ?

I am trying to send a function to my SWF file via a HTML file, and every browser works fine except for Internet Explorer.The test file is supposed to animate the graph when you mouse over the word click, and come to a halt upon mousing off of it.Here is the example URL:[URL]
*** begin ***
<script type="text/javascript"> function sendToActionScript(str) { document["accelachart"].sendToActionScript(str); }</script>
<a href = "#" onmouseover="sendToActionScript('fast')" onmouseout="sendToActionScript('slow')">click</a>

Like I said before, it works on all browsers I tested (Chrome, FireFox, Safari) except for IE (7 or 8).

I'm having troubles trying to pass data from an array inside a function and make it available globally:
Code: Select allfunction getDials_Result(dialAry) {
for (var i:Number = 0; i<dialAry.length; i++) {
trace(dialAry[i]);
}

If I put the trace outside the function everything is undefined.
How can I set this up so the variables are declared globally so I can get them elsewhere.

I can't figure out why this doesn't work. I need to pass the text in the xml file to an object that needs to be created outside of the onload function so i need access to the data out side of that function. I've declared variables to store the data at the class level which i thought would give me access to the databelow is the code:
Code:
package {

I have a website on wich you should hear 10 different songs. Everey Song has a Flash Start and Stop Buttton.
Flash generates HTML-Code like this:
AC_FL_RunContent( 'codebase', '
http://download....../flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,0,0',
'width', '100',
[Code]....
In former times you could add the file behind the swf-file : xxx.swf?file="newSong.mp3"
But now I have problems to transmit the name of the sound-file:
Is it 'URL', 'mySong.mp3',
Is it 'File', 'mySong.mp3',
