Actionscript 3.0 :: Storing Lot's Of Data At Runtime?
Oct 11, 2010
I'm now writting a little drawing tool, that will allow users to save their drawings and the redraw them. Now I'm only concerning myself with diferent colored lines with diferent thickness. So now I only need to store the values, that will be used later on when calling the canvas object's graphics.lineTo(....); method. I'm planning to save all of my drawings in XML, but I still need to load them up when I want to use them.
Given my situation, what's the best way to load up my data (after loading it in chunks): Arrays, Dictionaries, anonymous objects. We're talking about loading up, let's say ~ 1000 Point instances for a very simple shape, since I want the drawing to be pixel-perfect, since I will be modifying it to a more sophisticated tool later.

i am developing a photogallery with picts of different width.there's nothing with it,but i am trying to make an element which is more of a design nature.So i have an invisible mc/say "bbb" which is duplicated each time a new photo is loaded and its _x depends on the photos _width and the distance between the photo and the end of the screen regulates how many times "bbb" is duplicated.So on every new photo i got /possibly/ diferent number of instances with diferent _x.Still no poblem.But i want to put an bbb_dups.onRollOver=func(){if (this._x=curr_x){ tween(this._x+30)}else if (this._x=curr_x+30){ tween(backto curr._x)} so i need somehow to store each instances curr._x after the duplication which i dont know how.i've tried with an array but it doesn't seem to work for all the instances.

I need some help with my code please. I have a for loop that creates sprites and loads images into the sprites theough XML. I have additional nodes for each image and sprite that get created that I want to store and call when I roll over the thumbs. What would be the best way to do this? I had to "improvise" and have the for loop create text fields to hold the data and then call it when I roll over throught "evt.target.

When a key is pressed, data is sent to PHP to be stored in a MySQL database. For each key press, only one entry should be posted. it re-posts exponentially (e.g., 1st key press = one post, 2nd key press = two posts, 3rd key press = three posts; thus, totaling six posts).Initially, the event listener for key press existed alone on a single frame. When that was the case. This issue did not occur. I added an additional frame so that I could set to clear out all variables and start fresh.
so frame 4 will have :
KeyListener = new Object();
KeyListener.onKeyDown = function(){
if (Key.isDown(69)){ // if key pressed is "E"

There is a combo-box by the name "cbJobs" and it gets its value from the XML file named "data.xml".. I want to store the value transferred from this XML file into a variable.. so basically someone told me to use the code
on (change) {
_root.subject = this.getValue();
}
the only problem with this code is that it gets activated only after I "change" the value in combobox by pulling it down.. I want to use this value obtained from _root.subject as a subject in the script
getURL("mailto:abc@abc.com?subject="+_root.subject);

I'm currently having abit of problem with splitting some data and inserting it correctly.On screen I am going to have 3 movieclips (with a dynTextfield already placed inside them).Using data imported from PHP I plan to put the project names of the returned results inside the movieclips. The problem with this is if the results are more than 3 then there aren't enough movieclips. To over come that I was thinking of using a 'more' button where the project names would get pushed out of the movieclips and the new set loaded in/along.
At the present moment I can split the data (received from PHP) and trace it accurately, although I'm not sure how to go about storing it now. I was going to use and Array and store to store the info and call it in the buttons, however I haven't used arrays before.
Code
Code:
function fetchInfo(){
//Query DB for existing projects:
fetchProjects = new LoadVars();
fetchProjects.userID = _global.UserID;
[code]....
At the moment in my test there are 2 results that are returned.

i'm trying to make it easy for artists and level designers to implement game entities without writing a drop of code.
for instance, 5 different monsters are similar but with different attack speeds. i'd like to embed stats (for instance attack speed, health, etc.) in each of their movieclips.
the only way i can think is to embed textfields with instance names of "attack speed" and "health", and then delete the textfields at runtime. is there a more legitimate way of doing this?

I'm goofing around with developing a Flash game that would be accessible via a Facebook application but am still trying to figure out how I want to organize the game itself. The game essentially is an educational game with competitive components - completing tests faster results in more points with which you can customize your avatar and other items in the game. Also, passing certain "lessons" open up new lessons. So the major components I see are:- Player data storage (scores, progress, etc.)- Social connections - transference of rewards, comparing high scores, etc.- Lesson data (what questions to ask, possible answers, etc.)How is this best controlled? PHP and SQL? XML? Should I use datagrids as an intermediary? I'm having a lot of problems finding good information, both on the internet and at the bookstore about how to manage this.

i'm trying to find a solution to this problem: in the frist frame of the project i have 3 radiobuttons (Mambasradio, Amaronradio, Mastajbuonradio). In the second frame i have a ComboBox (Centers). I created 4 Arrays (mambascenters, amaroncenters, mastajcenters, nothing) and i tried to change the Array of the Centers.dataProvider with the RadioButtons selections. So if i selected Mambasradio, the dataProvider will beCenters.dataProvider = new DataProvider(mambascenters)I tried a lot of things but i didn't figured out of this. It gives me a Null Object Reference error in second frame. Here's my code.
Frame1
import flash.text.TextField;
import fl.events.DataChangeEvent;

how "you" would do it and then deciding my strategy from there.What I'm setting out to do is as follows:I have a UI with about 10 sliders and 10 buttons.I'm using Senoculars Virtual Mouse class to record all of the users interactions into arrays (basically [x,y, action, time, value]) and then after a decided time (say 3 minutes) I play the users interaction back to them.All of that works fine but now the data is not persistent.I would like to be able to store the interaction data somewhere and then a user can log out, log in and view their previously saved interaction.how would you go about saving this data? I was thinking about storing it in a XML file but I'm concerned that the file would wind up being ridiculously huge. If a user drags a slider from left to right just once thats saving [x ,y action, time,value] 42 times.

I am making app that works as stand alone, do some calculations and sting formating. Also it need to save data localy, and be able to reload it when needed. I have read that Shared Objects do that but also have limitation. For example the data can be deleted without user doing it. I need the data to somehow persistend and been able to delete only by the user of the app. As extra exporting data for other user will be usefull, but is not requared.

I need to hold a couple of variables in an outside file that can be incremented by user activity -- not just during one interaction with the swf, but with every one.I have no problems with using loadVars and I get the loadandsend process; it is just that I have
no background in cgi or asp for holding the variable and being able to update it.I know I cannot write to a txt file -- that is what I have been using thus far with loadVars for importing values, but this will not help me here. I know it should be a fairly simple script -- I also know I ought to pick up php, but for the moment -- until a greater amount of time comes my way -- I turn to you.

I want to make a simple tick box questionaire in Flash (AS2) that stores data to a local text file when the user has submitted the form. So simple stuff like are you Male of Female. Is it possible for flash to store this information somewhere. It is for touch screens in an exhibition space so ideally it wouldn't be on the internet.

1. How could I make it where some images/text in a flash file is taken from another outside file. For example lets say I have a image and text that would need to change constantly. The image could probably be done by using a url and changing the image set to that url, but I would rather have it search for a images file name on my computer. For the text is there a way I could use a text document, and have it set up to take the text in that document and display it.
2. How can I make it so when I click a link to an outside url it doesn't confirm that I want to visit it.

I am trying to work out if FMS is the solution I am looking for. I am trying to create a system that will store data, and upload it to a database when the user leaves the page. I thought the best way to achieve this would be to send a data object to the media server, check on an interval to see if the user is still active and then somehow upload the data when their "session" times out.

When im upload the swf + html file to Webserver (not on the same server when the aspx files) it does not working. i was tryin to upload the swf file to the same webserver where the aspx file and its working! when the swf on one server and the aspx on other server its not working...

Here's my scenario: in my product info MC, user can select from 4 categories which gotoAndStop a nested MC. Each of the 4 categories has 5 hit areas on an "imagemap". The problem that I'm running into is that on each of those hit areas (mc's), I have actionscript - so that's 5 x 4 of essentially the same actionscript. Only difference is text information and _x & _y co-ord's (code is for caption/images boxes) Could I store all that data in an array in the product info MC rather than having 20 blocks of actionscript?

I have an AS file that declares and sets data for a bunch of objects. Specifically, they are locations for a business, as well as phone numbers, addresses, etc, associated with each location. Ultimately, they will appear as pins on a map, and clicking a pin will reveal information like phone number, etc.I need to come up with a way for a separate SWF file to draw in the data from the AS file so it can be implemented on the map. The trouble is that the AS file will be frequently updated, and it will not always contain the same number of objects. me, the swf needs to reference the AS file, and generate a pin on the map for each object within the AS file.I've already set up my SWF to "#include" the AS file, and I can successfully use the data within using dot notation, but I don't know how to set it up to automatically go through the AS file and process each object, especially since the total number of objects is subject to change

I have just started with creating Drawing Pad, which can save and reload the image drawn once. I have completed the basic interface which includes drawing and erasing part. I am storing the co-ordinates in a text file. I am using MultiDimensional Array to store X,Y co-ordinates. But now I am facing a problem that how to load these variables into the flash back and using these redraw the image. I tried using 'loadvars', but it didn't helped me as it doesn't return string data. Can somebody help me in this so that I can load co-ordinates from text file and redraw the image.
