Actionscript 3.0 :: Loading Variables From Text File?
Apr 20, 2009
the variables from the text file are loaded in swf and in dreamweaver the swf throws an error
Error: Error #2101: The String passed to URLVariables.decode() must be a URL-encoded query string containing name/value pairs.
at Error$/throwError()
at flash.net::URLVariables/decode()
at flash.net::URLVariables()
at flash.net::URLLoader/onComplete()
I understands this is because of flash player security and need to place crossdomain.xml file. but the my doubt is where to post my crossdomain.xml file in the local machine(to check the swf) and also in my website for the rest.

I need a AS that will load n number of variables from a txt file, which will have string values assign to them, and then in fla, it will fade in - wait - fade out in a dynamic textbox all of them one by one, and at the end it will loop it. I know how to do certain parts of this code, but I am not really good with array's yet.

I have a Flash movie that loads variables from an external plain text file, that a client updates themselves (from a web site which generates the file). A problem occurred when they used an ampersand symbol in the text field. Is there a way around this? I haven't seen a way to escape it that works.

I'm loading 6 variables from a text file to populate an array, then using setInterval to populate two textfields every 5 seconds. IE7 gives me the "A script in this file is causing Flash Player 10 to run slowly do you want to abort this script?" It runs fine locally, but when I upload it, it won't work. Files are in the same folder in each case. Here is the entire script.

I am currently helping make a project which needs to load variables from a PHP file into Flash. What I want is the flash movie to go to a frame if the PHP variable in the PHP file equals some text, say "hello".For my PHP file I have this:
Code:
<?php
$dataForTxtbox_1 = "hello";
print("&name1=$dataForTxtbox_1");
?>
I have tried several bits of actionscript, but with no luck. Basically, I want the movie to go to a frame if the variable in PHP equals "hello". Which it currently does, I have tried using the if statement in several ways but with no luck.

I'm new to AS3 and dealt with AS2 before (just getting the grasp when the change it). Is it possible in AS3 to load an excel .csv file into Flash using the URLLoader (or ???) and the data as variables?I can get the .csv to load and trace the values (cell1,cell2,cell3 but I'm not sure how to collect the data and place it into variables. Can I just create an array and access it like so.... myArray[0], myArray[1]? If so, I'm not sure why it's not working.
I must be on the completely wrong path. Here's what I have so far..

I have a text file that holds names. I want to import the variables from the text file.I can do that, but I also want to create a loop that will iterate through the text file and create the variables. The number of variables in the text file will vary.I simply don't know what I'm doing and need a hand.Here is an example of my variables in my text file.
Code:
name1=Anna&name2=Joe&name3=Carmen&name4=Susie
Here is my URLLoader[code].........
I have variables named name1, name2 in my text file and want the same names in my flash file. I know my onDataLoad function is incomplete but I left some fragments so you can see my failed attempts.

I currently have a file set up that imports and external text file and displays the parameters in the text file in separate dynamic text fields. No problem there. the text file reads: param1 = 300śm2 = 450śm3 = 500 However, what I want to be able to do, is set parameters that rather than defining text strings, define numeric values. I want to be able to use those numeric values to set the x position of an instance of an animated MC on the stage (animated with actionscript). I need to be able to pass the values from the text file to the actionscript. I tried using the code below and it doesn't work..,

I am using Flash CS4 with AS3, I'm building a form with 3 fields for users to input into:
-name
-email
-comments
Each of these input text fields have their variable boxes labeled respectfully:
-name field = name
-email field = email
-comments field = comments
For the submit button just below the bottom of the comments input block I have inserted this AS3 code:
on (press) { getURL("send_comment.php", "send", "POST");}
For the separate php file named "send_comment.php" I have this block of code:
<?php
$name = $HTTP_GET_VARS["name"];$email = $HTTP_GET_VARS["email"];$comments = $HTTP_GET_VARS["comments"];
$to = "soundgeek2496@yahoo.com";

im trying to use the following code to load variables from a text file (and later a php file). The code is meant to put a movie clip called mcLoading to show that the text is on the way, and then fade the text in and show it on the stage. The whole code block is inside the constructor of a class.

I have build a flash form that uses php to save variables to a web folder on my site in a text file. There is a .swf file with dynamic txt fields in the same folder it which pulls the data from the txt file. It doesnt seem to pull it as real time as I would like. sometime just once and not after that.When I update the form the text file saves to the web folder ok, but I have to refresh the link to pull the data in or empty browsing history etc.is there a way around anyone can think of so everytime I update the flash form the data come in straight away or after a few seconds.

I couldn't find a good, clear question and answer for this in StackExchange, so I'll pose this as clearly as I can and hopefully get a clear, concise answer.Suppose I have a .txt* file with variables for a bunch of objects of one type that I was to load into an ActionScript 3 program. I can use an import statement such as:
[Embed(source="test.txt",mimeType="application/octet-stream")]
private var testFile:Class;
for some of the places where I need to do this, but I also need to know how it's different for files chosen by the user from their local hard drive.n code, how can I convert this file, testFile:Class into an array, result:Array, of strings?*: If you have a solution using .xml or another format, please also include a sample of what the file's contents would look like and how you would get them into variables within AS3Edit: Below is a quick example file I threw together, test.txt:

When I open a text document containing 1 string of a Base64 Encoded Image, it works fine:
ActionScript Code:
import flash.display.Loader;
import flash.utils.ByteArray;
[code]...
The image displays and that's great, but I need to display multiple images; therefore, I used the standard format: var1=value1&var2=value2&... (In reality, the values are the huge base64 strings.) Then I just needed to add "my_loader.dataFormat = URLLoaderDataFormat.VARIABLES;" since the format of my source changed. The thing that bugs me is that I'm tracing the imgB64Str after I set it and it traces fine (just like the other version).
ActionScript Code:
import flash.display.Loader;
import flash.utils.ByteArray;
[code]...
It runs with no errors, but the image no longer displays.

I am scratching my head because there isn't much out there even in the forum on something this simple.[code]...
Here is what I am trying to accomplish I am able to retrieve these variables from the txt file that is stored with the SWF file and display them, I am unable to allow the user to change a line "item" and then have them save it amending the TXT file.
So the goal is to have this list on multiple office computers so that you can go in add an item to the list it then updated the TXT file so the next user can open up the flash file see the list and even add or remove an item.
The TXT file is going to be stored on a private drop box folder that is available on all computers concerned. ( If it's going to be easier than putting it server side )

Reason is the XML file has variables/text that need to be used for other preloaders to work off.If at all possible, it would be great if the similar method I have used to preload my MCs (external images) could be used that would be fantastic! So I could have one bar load to 100% after the other.

I'm trying to make an application, with I could change the value of a variable on a text file. The thing is, at this moment I have to modify the text file variables and then upload this last again and again. The file with variables could be a XML file too. I was thinking make something like a guestbook, the problem is, it would create new variables and I want to modify the existing ones.
