ActionScript 3.0 :: Saving An Xml File
Nov 30, 2009
I have created an xml driven application with which the client is very happy. They currently use notepad/dw to create the xml files.They now want a "form" of some description to create the xml file to avoid writing tags and so on.I have had a good look around. There is some info about creating the xml itself in as3 (looks pretty easy), but very little about how to save that file to the clients server. I gather that the flash doesn't do this for security reasons?would i be better using php to create the form for my user rather than flash as3. Or is it better to create in as3 and then append a little php to upload the doc? Or am I going abouit this the wrong way!

step1- I got an xml that is locally loaded(works fine)
step2- the content goes into a datagrid that is displayed (works fine)
step3- In AS3 I dynamically add some lines to this xml file(works fine)
step4- I save it locally (works fine)
step5-and want the datagrid to be updated..(works not-so-well)
So, in step 4, the data is saved into the xml file, but in order to finish the save, the user has to click on the "Save as" windows in order to have the file updated of course.. and that's where's my problem, how can i tell flash to wait till the user actually saves the file, before reload the xml file in the datagrid ? here's the code :

After reading previous forums I've realised there is a corrupt picture that was imported into the file. I've deleted this in the library as people have suggested but still no luck saving the file. It just saves as 1K file.

I have made a cartoon section that needs to go into a video movie, it uses a lot of movie clips etc. It needs to be very high resolution- 1920x1080 When I just export it as an avi, none of the movie clips animate- they just slide around on the first frame of their animations.
When I export is as a .mov the file size is huge and I am not even offered the ability to compress it. It is like 8 gigs. When it was finally done the movie played in slow motion- the clip was about twice as long as it should have been.When I saved the file as an swf, and then tried to convert it to an avi using a converter, all the movie clips moved in doubletime, while the animations in the timeline were fine. How can I get my flash file to play in a standard video format.

save and load to and from a text file. However, doing any tutorials found online currently (I've tried at least 10), I cannot seem to get it to work!
Flash Code:
Code:
myData = new LoadVars();
submit.onRelease = function() {
myData.Name = Name.text;

I have students whose flash file works until it is saved. For instance, they create a untitled.fla file, press ctrl + enter and the swf file plays perfectly. At the end of class they save it, the next day they open it, and none of the AS is executed. The swf file plays as if no AS was ever written.
To make things even more puzzling, the file will play from different drives. For instance, if the .fla file is saved to a thumb drive, everything works. If the file is placed on the desktop everything works. If the same file is placed in a different students directory, everything works. I've contacted Adobe support, they directed me to read their (worthless) forums. I have recontacted their support trying to find some real assistance.

I was wondering if it was possible to save the contents of the output window to a separate txt file like notepad. I'm doing a project that involves testing the execution speed of flash by putting more and more objects on the screen as it plays and I need it to save the result when it freezes up or crashes.

I have a presentation to do using Flash on Wednesday and have been warned by my university that files MUST be in CS4 format. So, having used CS5 to create the whole site/presentation how much will I lose back-saving it to CS4? I'm worried I'm going to have to do a lot of the same work twice.

I have a serious of games swf's loading externally from a main menu swf.What I'm trying to do is take name of the player which they input into textfield and sent it to the XML file. After this at the end of each game I want to send the time it took to complete also to the XML file.The problem I have is I don't know to to create a new user inside the XML file and then replace the default time of 00:00:00 with the time that the player has set.NameTextField is the name of the textfield.Hourtext, Minutetext and Secondtext are the names of the timer. (They are ordered like Hourtext ':' Minutetext ':' Secondtext.

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;

to save to an xml file that has been imported into an xml variable stored in a loader and modified. What I'm trying to do is import an xml list, add a new node with a key stroke, then save the newly modified xml list back into its file. I've seen quite a few threads about people saying you have to download third party software but is there a way to do it from within as3?

How does one save the value of a variable to an Excel/<spreadsheet of any kind> file? Also, is it possible to do this without using CGI, Perl, js, etc non-Flash scripts?If you could assist me in how to save the value of a variable to *any* type of file that'd be good as well...I was utterly confused after reading the documentation.In case you're wondering why I'm asking this, I will be conducting a science experiment involving Flash. Subjects will be shown a series of slides, each slide containing one four leaf clover amidst a field of three leaf clovers. They will be timed to see how long to click on the four leaf clover. The purpose is to see if there exists any correlation between time taken to click and number of slides seen.

I am trying create a tool for office use which builds a XML file on the users computer. I am able to output XML to the trace screen but I want to take it a step further and have that XML code saved to a document on the users computer. Each time the user enters text and hits submit, a new block of XML is saved to that file. From what I understand, I need a "middle man" application such as Adobe AIR. Can someone point me in the right direction? I have been trying to research this for a few days now.

I have a problem when saving flash files in a mac. The process is much slower than in my other computer with windows, using the same file. I save my flash files very often and having to wait that long is very annoying. The problem can't be the file itself, I have tried saving different files and there is always more delay in mac compared to windows. In my mac I have OS X 10.7.2 (Lion) with Flash 5.5 and in my other pc, Windows XP SP3 with Flash CS 5. Has somebody experienced this before? What could be the origin? It's weird because my mac is new and is supposed to have better features than my windows pc which I bought many years ago I am a relatively new mac user and I have heard some people complaining about Lion OS X. What is your opinion?

I was given the task of altering a Flash animation (no AS) in a way that it would collect data from WSDL, write it to a text file and then use that data each subsequent time it runs.
You see, the Flash animation is part of a playlist (digital signage) and has a set duration which doesn't allow for network problems while retrieving data from WSDL. So while I got it to work fine by just displaying the WSDL data directly - it sometimes times out.
I have the retrieving from WSDL part down (flex), I can even read stuff from .txt files, but can't do the middle part - writing the variables into a .txt file.

So here's the situation: I have an XML file that is holding a short list of nodes, all of which have two attributes associated with name and a score. This file is already loaded into flash and creates a high-score table, of sorts. Now, what I want to do is to be able to grab data collected in the application, use that to change some attributes in the XML file and have it save that change. As it is I can change the attributes using:myXML.children()[t].@attr = attributeVariable;Which seems to work while the application is still in session, but does not actually save those changes to the file itself as I am hoping fo

I have a swf that lets you take a picture with your webcam , I have changed the scaleX to -1 so that the picture on screen appears like a mirror. This works fine, when I take a screenshot I am getting a bitmapdata from the video stream, which I am also setting scaleX to -1 to preserve the image the same as from the video. But now I am trying to save that picture as a jpg file, I can't seem to save the pictures as it appears, I can only save it as the original data which is essentially the wrong way around (doesn't preserve the changes made to scaleX = -1)
Code:
bitmapData = new BitmapData(this.video.width,this.video.height);
bitmapData.draw(this.video);
// at this point the bitmapData is the webcam view, but not with the scaleX I applied before
[...]
var jpgStream:ByteArray = jpgEncoder.encode(bitmapData);
// so now this jpg data is of the picture which isn't horizontally flipped
How can I get a bitmapData from the video and preserve the scaling I applied to the video?
