I'm trying to detect if a shared object's value has changed. Is there a way to do this? I'm using setProperty and it works fine but I need to change info the info has changed. I have tried event.changeList but it just shoots out [Objects] without giving me values. Can't it tell me a boolean to see if it has changed?
View 1 RepliesSo I'm trying to detect if a variable has been changed by a swf loaded into another swf.What I'm doing is when a thumbnail is clicked on the child swf I want it to fire a function on the main swf. I can get the model to trace out when the value was changed inside of the child swf by itself but when i load it into the main swf I can't get the onModelChanged event to fire off.Container swf as
ActionScript Code:
package {
import flash.display.MovieClip;

I just want to know if there is any TextChange Event or equivalent to that in AS3? I am currently using Adobe Flash CS3 with my AS3 files and I have to detect whether or not my TextTool's value has changed or not. With my data being integers ranging from -4.440 to 3.560, I obviously cannot use the != operator.
View 1 RepliesI created a very simple experiment to attempt to access the same shared object in Flash Player and AIR.
A Flash SWF creates a local shared object.
A AIR application (being tested from CS3 or installed) opens the same shared object.
The data does not persist. Is this theoretically possible?
I need to detect when a Flex Spark List (spark.components.List) data has changed so that I can programmatically change its scrollbar. I know that List is a an EventDispatcher but it's unclear which event I'd register for.
Edit: My List's dataProvider is an ArrayCollection that elements are added too. So the dataProvider is never replaced. I considered listening to the backing ArrayCollection, but it's possible the List will react to the change after my listener, which alters the scrollbar. Thus my listener's changes will be superseded by that of the List.
I'm using a loader for people to use to upload their own images for a background, and I want it to remember the image the next time they come to the page, so is there any way to save the loader data in a shared object? I haven't tried just using something like
Code:
sharedObject.data.dataName=loader
because I assume it doesn't work that way.
Is it possible to have a object path changed due to the value of a variable?
eg.?
Code:
ClipNumber = 10
_root.ClipMC.[ClipNumber].Stuff = "This is stuff"
What Im asking is, can a value in a path be equal to that of a variable?
I am working in air application , i need to know how to add event listener when any object is updated,how can i implement this.Example:i have Class name Vehicle, and child class are Car,Bus,Bikes,Scooter,..etc, child class also have many properties like color,model no,....etc
I have array collection and AddChild() method in Vehicle class by this, i will add, child class to the vehicle class.I need a event listener which can trigger if any of the property is updated or changed in any of the child class property, how can i implements this in Flex3.
I'm writing a sort of "dynamic gallery" in flash. The problem is that a child of the gallery can be resized in runtime, and then I have to rearrange the gallery.
Now, of course, I can't overload the gallery items, since it's a display object which
is unpredictable. and even if I could force overloading on the items, how will I be notified if, let's say, an animation started, something move, and the item got bigger Is there some sort of Event for a display object which is dispatched on ANY kind of resize ??
My dumb solution was to go through all the gallery's items and rearrange them every given milliseconds, and now I feel so dirty and I need to confess my sins.
I am converting all embed statements in my site with lazy loading. The code which was previously like this:
[Embed(source="/newswf.swf", symbol="kungfu")]
public static var Kungfu:Class;
has now been converted to this form:
private var _loader:Loader = new Loader();
public static var abcd:Class = null;
_loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,onLoadComplete);

I am making a Scrollbar component and I want a script to call a calculation function for resizing the scrollbar when a new data is loaded.I was experimenting with Object.watch but it's use is beyond me. I don't understand if its the thing I need.Can Object.watch call a function when say a dynamic textfield's data is changed?

I was thinking if there was a way to remove the shared object pop up from popping up lol?Its because Im making a game where when the player saves the pop up comes up over a 100 times and it's really frustrating, so I was thinking if you could remove the pop up entirely by using actionscript?I've found a script that shows the popup:System.showSettings(1);So is there a way to reverse this script? like System.hideSettings(1); ?
View 1 RepliesI have a client who has a video that is to only play once when a user visits. So I created a shared object to create a param that the video has been played. It works perfect locally and on my live test site. However when the client posts it on his ning website in the header it doesn't work. The strange thing is that live and locally on my server you can see the shared object and it's size through the advanced tab in Flash's privacy settings.
View 7 RepliesI have a gane that uses shared object and keeps note of highscores and users names. So - if that is possible then I can set up teaching courses on standalone pcs can't I? ie: Databses I have in access can go in XML and the recording of position in course and results of tests can also be recorded using Shared object.Is that a good way of going about things OR should the whole thing go over to AIR and its sqlite system?
View 3 RepliesI have 2 ways of accessing info in my course files (SWFs): text-only and audio playback. I'd like to use shared object to store the user preference so it remembers the setting when navigating between screens. It stores info file but each file creates its own shared object.
for example:
<path to the swf>page1.swfcoursename.sol
<path to the swf>page2.swfcoursename.sol
<path to the swf>page3.swfcoursename.sol
Since it writes and reads the SOL file of its own folder, the user setting isn't remembered when switching pages.
I am running a chat program which displays a list of users along with their status (online or offline). I wish to remove the list and display their status in their respective biographies, which are separate swfs. The usernames and status are stored in a remote shared object as an array.My question is, what is the most efficent way of extracting an individual user's current status from the SO array?[code]

how to rewrite the Shared Object? Is it possible?

View 1 RepliesI was trying to obtain data I wrote using a sharedobject location from one application on another, but it didn't seem to work(used same machine). So I take it local stored data is only allowed to be accessed/manipulated from the application that initially wrote data to it?
Is this is for security reasons? Is there anyway around this, I want to have one application read variables from another...
I am building an application that uses a Shared Object that is shared (ironically) between 3 separate applications. 1 application listens for updates, and the others update the app. The problem I am having is that I need the main application to be able to detect changes to the Shared Object. Unfortunately there seems to be no events to listen for that are not for 'remote objects'. Because of this I created a timer that gets a new local instance of the shared object every X seconds.I just call the following before I read or write to the sharedObject:[code]This is causing a CPU Hiccup every 3 seconds and bogging down the system. so all this being said, does anyone know of a clean way to refresh a copy of the sharedobject without creating a brand new instance of it

Writing the dataprovider object to my local shared object seems to work fine, but when I try to read this out of the shared object, it appears to have been transformed into a generic object.

read a local shared object with a servlet even if there is no flash present on a page?
