View 4 RepliesI want to have an AS3 app load images from url supplied by the user. But I don't want a malicious user to be able to load an SWF file in place of the image, such as with an altered extension "maliciousSwf.png". Well, not sure how big a security threat that is above and beyond the ability of the hacker to decompile swf, but I think that ideally such behavior should not be allowed.
So, is there any way to prevent this? When people allow users to load images in their Flash apps, do they somehow guard against loading of SWF? Or is this really absolutely no big deal?
I work with Adobe Flash Proffessional (CS4). I now have an assesment piece that I can work on home with. I promptly downloaded CS5.5 (thinking that was the right one) and spent hours on my animation. Oops, is it possible to open these CS5.5 files in previous versions? is there a converter that can fix this?
View 3 RepliesI just saw that some (only some) flash files (games) aren't loading in my website, but are in other servers. Most of the files do work. For example:(External) [URL] (My Server) [URL] It is the same file, but doesn't load at my server.

Code:
var example:XML;
var exampleLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();

Do I have to declare a new Loader and a new function for every XML file I load? Is there a way to load multiple XML files easily ?
flash and working on two flash files for a website. They are small, 2.20KB and 4.10 KB. I am testing them on localhost and notice the object creates a box and an icon on the screen for both of them before they load and appear
View 3 Repliesi have been working with a few basic flash presentation to learn the ropes. However, I am working on a flash file which, when compiled, pulls in flash content from elsewhere in the Parent folder. I have read through the FAQ and cannot find the answer, as there doesn't seem to be any Actionscript which handles the importing of these external files.
Are there other methods that I am unaware of? I need to edit these other files, however I find it more beneficial to first understand how the Flash file is compiled before editing.
I've got a bunch of flash files being served off a HTTPS site in IIS7. With contentcompression turned on, the flash files wont display. Does flash not support HTTPcompression, or is IIS doing something unusual?
View 1 RepliesI have two FLA files, call them MAP.fla and ANI.fla, that I have to merge. One way I tried was to load the ANI.swf in MAP.swf during runtime using the normal way of doing it, using Loader and URLRequest. However, when I try to run it, flash detects errors about methods I have included in ANI.swf.
I do know that the Loader and URLRequest method of doing it works because I tried using it with a different SWF file with simpler content.
P.S. ANI.swf contains methods, instances with classes of their own and timer events. If Loader cannot work on my SWF, is there any other way of carefully doing this without affecing my FLAs?
Below is the error message i am getting.

I've been using flash functionality in order to fill in dynamic text variable with an external data. The script works fine, except that now runs very slow - around 30 seconds or so.
myData = new LoadVars();
System.useCodepage = true;
myData.load("get_content.php?id="+_root.id); //get external content[code].............
I'm trying to load a bunch of image files for processing (to make a sprite sheet to be exact). Thusly, I need to make sure those files are loaded in order for processing (otherwise the animations become all wonky).
The code I'm using is pretty standard:

Im creating a really simple flash website and script to load multiple swf files into the main flash file. Im using cs4 with action script 2 but I have no idea on how to code the script to make it work properly. I have a navbar and each time you click on a tab a want it to load a seperate external file, unfortunately now it just keeps playing the same one over and over again. How do you make one close when a new tab gets clicked.
View 1 RepliesI know this can be done, but not sure how. I have seen a program that basically has its own fscommands and must compile them itself. Does anyone know how you would do this. The program i refer to is [URL] flash studio pro. There are other programs out there like this but these all cost money for commercial use.

how can i make a flash movie, have a loading bar for a movie being loaded into it, but also for the content in the main movie.
and have both the percentages in the same loading bar.
i.e.
main = 25%
loadee = 75%
-----------------------
total = 50%
i dont want a loading bar in each of the movies being loaded in?
something like _level1._getBytesLoaded() or something?
i think i tried it before but since _level1 hadnt even began to load it disregarded it and assumed it was done..
This is the code i have been using
loadText.load("textfile");
//creating the loadVarsText function
loadText.onLoad = function() {
dynamictextboxname.text = this.the=whatever text in notpad;
};
how to load my external text in, i have it all set up. Its all being saved into the same folders etc. But still nothing.
I recently got the following code from one of your tutorials and am wondering why it is that when I try to change the .jpg images to .png images, the images no longer appear in the swf file. Does flash no allow .png files to be loaded.The reason that I need the files to be png is because the have to have a transparent backgroung.[code].....

I am having trouble trying to use actionscript to load different files when different values are changed. I am currently using a tilelist and they have different values so the code is something like this: (the title is just there, non-related)
if (startTileList.selectedItem.value == 1)
{
//textFile1 load here[code].........
So I want different text files to be loaded when different value is selected but I cannot seem to get it working.
I am trying to create a video that loads the videos stred in a directory, depenant on the users id etc.To do this, I am using php. However, I cannot then get the php to convert to xml within the actionscript:[code]It works with a normal xml file just not php
View 1 Repliesim loading images into flash from different external XML files.it takes time to load images into the flash- how do i create a PRELOADER for EXTERNAL XML files.
View 1 RepliesI wonder if there is a possibility to load external files to flash, when I know only their source catalog.Normally I'd use xml file with names or write some php script, but is there some way to load those files only with actionscript?
View 3 RepliesI have a problem when i try to access the internet from a swf that is run localy.I want to load other swf files from diffrent domains into my main file wich works fine when the swf is on some domain but when i download the file and run it localy it doesn't work.
Can i change the sandbox type from actionscript? Mochi Media does it after enctypting your swf but i don't know how.
Unfortunately the search function on the site doesnt seem to be working. I have a website [URL]. We have created a loading page so that the user enters the site when the site is fully loaded. Unfortunately this doesnt work for those parts of the website that are being loaded externally i.e. through XML files.
An example of this can be seen on the showcase section on the left side of the Home Page.
Can I also mention that there are over 250 images being loaded externally through the XML files as well as a number of text blocks. I as a web developer are completely against this amount of images but the client wants them in so unfortunately they have to stay.
I have a flash component that is an image gallery. I want to have multiple image galleries on my site, but instead of multiple instances of the component, I want to have multiple buttons that can be clicked that will load in different xml files to populate the component.
Would code like this do something like that:
var eventListener = new Object();
eventListener.button_click = function (evnt){ trace("Button clicked");} myGallery.addEventListener("button_click", eventListener);
I'm trying to load a local file using FileReference load(). It will load small files just fine, but when I try to load a file of around 4-80 megabytes the flash player will crash. I read the load method officially supports up to 100 megabytes.
Here is the exact class I'm using to test:
ActionScript Code:
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.events.IOErrorEvent;
import flash.events.ProgressEvent;
import flash.net.FileReference;
import flash.net.FileFilter
[Code] .....
Is there a way to add paths to the Flash runtime search path for loading files? Say I want to load myXML.xml and its down in /myDir1/myDir2/myXML.xml. Is there any way I can add "/myDir1/myDir2" to the search path so I can just load using the string "myXML.xml" INSTEAD of loading by the full path "/myDir1/myDir2/myXML.xml"? My directory structure will be changing on a semi-regular basis so I can't hard-code the direct path to the file.
View 8 RepliesI spent almost a week trying to figure out how to unload a currently loaded swf using its button and loading a new swf... I have three files, a main.fla, file1.fla and file2.fla.

If i will click the "unload" button in the file1.swf, I would like the main.fla to unload the file1.swf and load the other file, file2.swf. Here is the code to load the file1.swf:
