ActionScript 3.0 :: Target An External File Locate Up One Level?
Feb 25, 2011
I was trying to upload an external .txt file which is located up one level from my .fla file but I couldn't make it work, this is what I have...This code works just fine if I put my external .txt file in the same folder as my .fla
ActionScript Code:
var myRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("MaterialRef.txt");
but when I try something like... where the .txt file now is in a folder called "Materials" which is located up one level, it just doesn't work.
ActionScript Code:
var myRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("../Materials/MaterialRef.txt");

[code]That is the code used to solve the cache problems, but i dont' really get the second line. How does changing the level or target of the new movie stop the old file from playing?!i also searched what "?" does in flash, but i couldn't seem to find it.

I'm using flash CS4 and actionscript 2.0. I have a situation where I need to locate and check the date of an external file (either .exe or .swf) and return that date string to a variable in flash. I then need to display that date to a piece of dynamic text within the flash file. Is there a function within action script that will check and retrieve the file date of an external file.

got a file that contains scripting that creates and animates a carousel effect in a faux 3d space - it all works great on a mac and some pc's but on a lot of pc's it doesn't play nicely! i have added some script to carousel script so if the carousel item is clicked it rotates that item to the front and then loads the specified swf into level 1
pc's don't seem to recognise the alignment of the loaded swf and brings it in half cropped off the screen - appearing in the top left of the stage area.how do i tell the loaded swf to centre in the middle of the stage just like the rest of the elements in the movie? how to make the target mc sit at the highest level/depth - in other words above the carousel? this is my onclick script:
Code:
function released()
{
output.text = this.txt_label.text + " has been selected";[code].........

I'm in the process of migrating my 1st flash game from my PC to a web site. I have a preloader that will load a couple of .swf files to start but it stops when requesting the 1st URL.
Here is my code:
var l1:Loader = new Loader();
var l2:Loader = new Loader();
var completeTimer:Timer;
[code]...
This is not the entire preloader file, just the part until it halts.
Is it possible that I need to publish with specific settings? After all, everything was working fine until it was copied on the server.

Situation:
- We have a Flash application located on a SAP EP (let's say ep.x.com)
- We have a SAP ABAP Application (Webservices) on a SAP WebAS
server (abap.x.com)
- Clarification: This is not about Flash islands / but a normal Flash application communicating with WebAS ABAP via WebServices
Problem: Due to the changed security policy in Flash 10 this scenario does no longer work.
- A crossdomain policy file on root level cannot be deployed on root level
- The WebServices http/s headers cannot be modified, since the WebServices are generated by the WebAS IDE.
Comment: Technically there is a way to patch a WebAS ABAP,but this is not a practical / acceptable way in a normal SAP WebAS infrastructure.
Conclusion:- The above scenario (Flash from EP content / WebAS ABAP as backend) is a quite normal scenario in the SAP world.
- SAP / Adobe always features the close relationship between their technologies.
Question:- What could we do?
- How does the Visual Composer works around that problem?

But I keep getting the error message: Target not found: Target="undefined" Base="_level0" I'm not sure what this means.

I have a movie from this directory "childmovies/quicklinks_menu.swf" which is loaded using loadMovieNum into level 3, in the root file. I am then trying to load another file in the quicklinks file to a level. This is called contact_us.swf.

I am trying to use the code to make a top level navigation with subnav options.I have gone to the next level "_root.container.containerContent"For this subnav, I have got the SWF loading, but then it will not transition to the next SWF at the subnav level.I am not really sure which parts of the code need to changed, but I know that what I have changed allows the SWF to load, just not transition.This is a sample of the button code:
Code:
on (release) {
if (_root.container.currMovie == undefined) {

I'm using xml to load .flvs into a movie player. I have it setup to load an external .swf to level 1 when the movie is finished. My goal is to have the .swf on level 1 select the next .flv from the xml array by way of simple buttons. Needless to say, it's not working. Anyone care to give it a crack?

I am creating a vertical shooter game for one of my assessments. There are 4 levels in the game, the object of each level is to shoot as many enemies (spawn via an external as file) to build up your score before the time runs out. Once the time reaches zero, you get linked to the next level. The first level is called the graveyard which has skulls as enemies. Once the time reaches zero, this swf automatically links to the next level which is called haunted_house.swf. The only problem is the skulls from the first level continue to spawn on the new level. How do I stop this? The coding for the timer and to link the first level to the next is below:

Ok. I have a main flash movie (to be the base site actually) that loads 4 preliminary swf's.One of them is the top nav bar. Basically there are small squares on the main flash movie where the movies should load. They replace the squares and load perfectly. What i want to do though is when i press a button in a movie in one square, on release, it tells another square on the main flash to load it's movie.P.S. I did not attach the actual flash files becuase, for one they are too big, also there are way too many layers and stuff for anyone to be able to back track through my sloppy work. I did however attach the swf's and a jpeg outline of the square loaders im talking about

I have two layers in my FLA both with empty movie clips as follows:In mc_Empty1, I attach a faded background movieclip as I wait for mc_Empty2 to load a SWF. Once the SWF is loaded into mc_Empty2, I want to remove the faded background movieclip from mc_Empty1. When I load the SWF from the main timeline, the onLoad() function works and removes the faded background from mc_Empty1. However, when I load the SWF from mc_target, the SWF loads, but the onLoad() function does not. Here's my AS2 code:
//Loading SWF from main timeline
mc_Empty1.attachMovie("mcFadedBg", "mc_FadedBg", 1);
mc_Empty2.loadMovie("My.swf");mc_Empty2.onLoad = function():Void{ trace("loaded"); //This works removeMovieClip(mc_Empty1.mc_FadedBg); //This works}
[code]....
I know I'm targeting properly because the SWF loads as it should, but the onLoad() function does not.

This is making me a little kooky today. I thought I could defined a library path in PREFERENCES > ACTIONSCRIPT > ACTIONSCRIPT 3.0 SETTINGS then that library would be available to all AS3 FLA files, but that doesn't seem to work for me. If I use the PUBLISH SETTINGS and define the library path everything is fine.
Is there something that I could have done to disable the application level class path functionality? I guess I'm trying avoid having to set the library path for every new FLA I'm making.

I have a problem whereby I want to, on a click of the button on the main scene, it will target a certain frame label instead of playing from the start of an external movie clip. Is it possible? Something like gotoAndPlay("Scene 2", "play"); but it is an external swf.

I'm doing a bigger aplication in flash (as2).Image, there is a main "home" flash with several menu buttons.Clicking these buttons, I load external swf into an empty container in this "home" flash.[code]clicking buttons in this second level, will load external movies into an empty container in this SECOND LEVEL swf.This works fine, but now, coming to the THIRD LEVEL (don't think there will be more in the future) problems come up, some scripts won't work.Now (I'm a as2-beginner) I think, loading external swf ALLWAYS into containers in the first "Home" flash should solve the problem.But I don't know, how to load an swf from the third level into a container in the first "home" level.In the "home" level, I have a "close" button, that will unload the container content.I need to go to a certain scene "content_2" in the home swf, too.

I have a zooming map .swf file loading in behind a navigation button interface .swf. The map.swf turns your mouse to a hand cursor so you can pan when you zoom in on it.Eveb though the map file is behind my nav file,when I roll over my nav file, the mouse is still turning to a hand cursor. Is there any way around this? The only time it turns to an actually pointer is when it rolls over the actual buttons on the nav file, so the mouse flickers back and forth between the hand and the pointer.How can I get the lower .swf to not effect the .swf on top?
