ActionScript 3.0 :: Website Extracts Data From An Xml File?
Jul 14, 2009
my flash website extracts data from an xml file. is there a way that i can somehow link to images in the xml file or embed some html code in it so that when the flash file extracts the content, it also follows the links and imports the images from the server onto itself?
get what i mean? im stuck in a REAL bad situation and i cant find a way out of it =/
its like as if the actionscript i put, into this one place where i want to, is completely ignored =S so im trying ways around it
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 am having some problems showing my videos in flash after moving it anywhere besides my computer.
I published my flash file once as a exe. file and sent it to another computer, where it all worked but my videos, which didn't show up at all.
I also published them as SWF files, then put them up on my free website (where i don't have access to the ftp) and the videos still aren't there.
The videos will play fine in an SWF file on my computer, but i am assuming when they are away from the videos, they don't have a source to access them.
I also tried sending the videos along with the SWF files when sending to other computers and it still doesn't work.
I now have a free hosted website (with wix.com if that makes any difference) with my flash work on, but no videos. I even tried to embed a youtube video into the scenes the videos are meant to appear, and put the videos on youtube, then i discovered you can't put that sort of HTML into flash.
how to show the videos on these sort of website, or even better, how to keep them in original file when sending them, so they show on other computers.
I can call data from a website in action script/flash e.g a RSS feed or a news piece , mainly to put on a mobile device. i ran it on my desktop and it asks for permission then nothing happened?
I'm using LoadVars to retrieve some data from a table using php. When I use the app from within my Flash environment I am able to retrieve the info, but once I post the swf to the website nothing happens. I"m posting to the same remote page. I don't think LoadVars is even firing since the trace in my else clause is not firing.
var reserved = new LoadVars(); reserved.load(" http://www.thefatblackpussycat.com/reservations/getReservedTables.php" ); reserved.onLoad = function(success)
I'm evaluating the differences between the purePDF and alivePDF libraries in flex, and I'm setting up some IO code so that I can save documents from either from a web based flex application.
AlivePDF gives a very convenient save() function that sends the data to a web service, which can simply bounce it back using Content-Disposition: Attatchment, but PurePDF has no such feature. How can I send the PDF data from purePDF to a webservice in a similar way?
I would like to construct a RegExp/Actionscript3 statement/routine that will do the following:
1. Locate the link containing the favicon. Note that there can be many <link>s in the <head> so I am looking for the one that specifically includes the : <link rel="shortcut icon" ...favicon.ico">,
2. Most favicons are in the ".ico" format, but I have seen favicons that are .png and .gif formats. The next step is to save the .ico in a .png format
how to create a Flash website, that loads data from an external source(CMS), that can be indexed by Google? Indexed by Google looking at the SWF and not shadow HTML pages. Or exactly why such a site cannot be indexed by Google. I have found several articles; however, none get into technical details or are by Adobe.
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].
I am new with Flash, and still trying to learn. There is one thing I can't find information about. How do I embed a Windows Media stream on a flash web site? If possible at all.
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.
Is it possible to pull questions from a data file into flash without having to create new frames for every question. This would be a multiple choice test. We currently hand type the questions into multiple frames and grade at the end.
I am trying to load a variable from data in a text file.I can read the text file fine but the variable data seemsonly 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)
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 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) {
[code]....
This is where the path_var becomes undefined
trace("This is outside the function... "+path_var); pathVar1="This is outside the function... "+path_var;
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 =
have a website that I have to modify. It is entirely built with flash. The problem is that I do not have the fla files. So I have two options: either using a special program which converts the swf into a fla file or build the website with the changes from scratch.
i'm trying to publish my website that I made entirely in flash CS5. Everything works perfectly when I publish the site in Flash, then upload the files to my server. I created the site on my 23' monitor, and when I view it on that computer, everything looks perfect, and works. However, I viewed the site from my laptop, and the site gets cutoff and the browser doesn't create a scroll bar so you cannot see everything.
To remedy this, I tried to use Dreamweaver to publish my site. Once again, it worked great on my 23' monitor, no problems what so ever. Viewed on my laptop once again, and now the browser creates the scroll bar. GREAT! However, now the entire site is stretched for some reason (but only when viewing it on the laptop). It seems to be a problem in Dreamweaver since when I viewed the Flash Plublished file, it didn't stretch the site.
After building a flash using one of the players provided by KoolMoves in the interface, I checked to make sure the sound played properly and it did. I checked to be sure it was still in the contents file and it was. I uploaded it to my website and all plays great but I have no sound. I've checked to make sure my sound is not muted and speakers connected and all other sound plays fine. The progress bar for the player does not show when it is clicked eiither, as if there is no sound file in the player.
If you go to the website: [URL]. The white square is my embedded flash swf file, but as you can see it isn't playing. In Flash, when I test the movie, it plays beautifully. When I put it on my webpage, it's just blank. What bothers me is that I embed Flash swf files frequently with zero problems. The only difference is that this is a video. The swf file is properly uploaded to my server. I've attached the swf file for reference.
The html is: <object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" width="320" height="240" id="FlashID" title="TDR"> <param name="movie" value="intro2.swf" /> <param name="quality" value="high" /> <param name="wmode" value="opaque" /> [Code] ..... Attachments: intro2.swf (49.6 K)
I'm having trouble with publish my flash file. I have uploaded my flash file (flash.html) and (flash.swf) to my ftp. Then I copy and paste the html code onto the page of my website which is (without the star)
I am an interactive design student working on a flash portfiolio and . I can't figure out how to load a game I made in flash into my porfolio so that it loads after clicking on a button, becomes playable, then have a button to leave the game and go back to my portfolio. I'm working in Actionscript 2.0 because that's all my teachers will show me and I have minimal actionscript knowledge.
