I am trying to send a server "schooltraq.com/api/" variables for a request.My Code:
package
{
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.events.*;
[code].....
How ever when I keep getting back "error:empty request". I emailed the site owner and he said that my program may be dropping the data during redirects.[URL]
there you are, you set up your AS3 code to load XML via a URLLoader and URLRequest, as normal. You then take your XML file, and upload it to a server. You then run your program, and trace out the XML you receive. So far so great, and you see the results of your XML traced out. Then you change something on your XML, either adding to it or removing a line. You then run your program again from CS5.5, and trace out the XML, and it shows the same results that it did before you made any changes. I deleted the XML file from the remote server, and it is like it stored it in cache, and still able to read it. If I change the url or file name, it gives me an error, which it should.
If I point the url back to my remote XML file, and run the program again, it gives me the XML results I had in the beginning, before I made any changes to it (regardless if the XML file exists). The only fix I have found so far, is closing CS5.5, and reopening, and then it can see the changes. I did that, and it was able to see my XML changes on my remote server, but again, only one time. If I try to change anything, or delete the XML file, it still pretends as if its there, reading the results that it read the first time I run the program. Is this a cache issue? Anybody else experience this? I never remember running into this problem using CS5/CS4/CS3, only CS5.5. Of course, I can test it all locally first, and then upload the XML file to the remote server when I know that no other changes need to be made, but still, this is really weird!
I have a queue of messages that I would like to send to a URL and I would like to remove messages from that queue only after I am sure they have been successfully sent. To do this I need to know in the COMPLETE event for the URLLoader exactly what data was sent so that I can remove the correct message from the queue.That is if I have something like this.
var urlRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest(targetUrl);
var urlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
urlLoader.dataFormat = URLLoaderDataFormat.TEXT;
[code].....
So let's say we want to load some XML -
var xmlURL:String = 'content.xml';
var xmlURLRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest(xmlURL);
var xmlURLLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader(xmlURLRequest);
[Code]....
I hate that you can't just say e.target.src or whatever - is there a good way to associate URLLoaders with the URL they loaded data from?
I am trying to setup two variables:
var xmlURLLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
var xmlURLRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest();
I am taking some old AS code and trying to plug it into Flash Builder. I am getting a "Type not found."warning with those variable declarations. Does anyone know which package to import?
I am working on a flash website that loads live inventory data from a public csv file publish by google docs. the csv file is located at a public address on google docs server:[URL].. I am using a URLloader and URLrequest within my flash movie to grab this data and assign it to different variables.
It works great when I preview the movie in flash. However, when I go to publish the movie and preview the html file its loaded into in dreamweaver, I get a security warning from adobe flash player: Adobe Flash Player has stopped a potentially unsafe operation
I went ahead and published the html file that contains the swf file to the web, and when I go to my site, I don't even get the flash player warning; it just sits there like its trying to load the URLrequest and never completes.
I understand that flash player has a security measures that prevents flash files from accessing files outside of the server directory that the swf file is published to. I know you can create policy xml files to tell flash it's okay to load the data, but those policy files have to be located on the public server from which the data is being grabbed. But it's not like I can waltz on to google's servers a stick a policy file in there!
Is there any way to tell the flash player it's okay to load this data without getting that security error? I can't have the end user having to go into their flash settings and adding the location manually. I just need it to work without the security warning.
Is there another method of loading data from an external server without tripping up flash player security? aka, something other than URLloader and URLrequest?

I want to instruct a server-side PHP script to generate a dynamic PDF using variables I submit from Flash. I then want to download that PDF back into my Flash application. Can I use "Loader" or "URLLoader" ? If so, how do I structure my code to render the PDF within Flash when it comes back from PHP? ...or do I have to use Flash Remoting or other means to achieve my goal?
View 3 RepliesActionScript [code]...
As you see, the code dynamically creates movie clips. The problem is that after I first launch the program (whether it'd be in Flash or the SWF) it loads perfectly the first time but after, it doesn't. If e.target.data.Count equals 1 in the beginning at first launch, any change I make to the database to change the value of e.target.data.Count is not reflected in the program.
I have XML object formed and data ready to write to the server by means of server-side script. The code used on the server-side script is testing code available from the ActionScript 3.0 cookbook examples (by Joey Lott). It basically takes the XML object, parses it and writes some of the text node values into a textfile. What i want to achieve send the xml data from AS3.0 to PHP/PERL script, parse these data, write some variables from the xml object into a textfile on the server.

I'm querying a web application in a remote server through XML files and receiving answers in the same file format. Until now, sometimes I received a connection error:
Error #2044: Unhandled ioError:. text=Error #2032: Stream Error. URL: http://server/Services/startSesion.com
at reg_jugadores_fla::MainTimeline/queryGQ()
at reg_jugadores_fla::MainTimeline/reg_jugadores_fla::frame1()
When this occurs, trying to access the services through a web browser, there's a test page where you can try queries, returns a "500 Internal server error". I managed that problem adding a listener to catch the error:
xmlSendLoad.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR , catchIOError);
But since yesterday I can't connect anymore using Flash while it's possible to access the test page. I'm not able to talk to any support guy as the company is closed for vacations! I added listeners to try to know what's happening and this is the result in the output window:
openHandler: [Event type="open" bubbles=false cancelable=false eventPhase=2]
progressHandler loaded:154 total: 154
httpStatusHandler: [HTTPStatusEvent type="httpStatus" bubbles=false cancelable=false eventPhase=2 status=200]
AFAIK, status=200 means OK but why the COMPLETE event isn't dispatched?. So, is there anything I can do or just wait until the tech guys return from the beach?

queryGQ(sessionURL,sessionQS); // Start session

I'm trying to send about 1 MB of binary data to server via URLLoader. But when I call method load of this class, my application hangs for about 1-1.5 seconds, then uploading runs normally. How can I prevent it?
View 2 RepliesI know you can track the progress of URLLoader receiving variables, but has anyone found a way to track the progress of it sending variables?
View 0 RepliesWhat is the difference between URLLoader and URLRequest in Actionscript?
View 1 RepliesI need to parse a particular web page every 25 seconds in order to take some particular values that are frequently updated in this web page. I need the parsed values in order to dinamically fill some text inputs components. So I write the following script:
Code:
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.events.TimerEvent;
import flash.utils.Timer;
[Code].....
With this script I'm able to get the webpage and parse the particular line of code that I need but only the first time! When the timer goes to zero the URLLoader function always loads the first version of the webpage and not the one that has been updated in the meanwhile! So I have always the same values! Using the trace function I have discovered that URLLoader loads the first version of the webpage. I don't know what is the problem here. Cache problem? URLRequest or URLLoader problem (maybe I have to clear the previous data?)?
i am looking for some kind of library which does CRUD easily using PHP and MYSQL.My goal is to make some app in flash AS3.0 , where i will be receiving some data from user and storing in data base , and perform CRUD opertaions. I dont want to be so much involved in writing php and sl query.My scenario is:
Data types : [ like user_profile data, etc]
add under data types 1 to many fields with various types..
Database tables and realtions etc should be done by my DREAM library, then user when select a Dtat Type, he is presented with related fields to fill up data.
I will be using Flash AS3.0 ( Builder or IDE ) to perform .If only i can find some php library i think AMFPHP can connect flash with php

I am building a simple swf that will load in variables from an asp page using a URLloader and URLRequest. The asp page loads in the current values from a SQL database but these values will change every second. My swf loops every 6 frames and loads the data. How much load this puts on the server? And when the server is busy might this cause a problem with the variables I am reading in?
Does AS3 run all actions on frame 1 before going to frame 2 etc? I don't know if this is the best way but my last variable in the ASP page is called Loaded and I test for it before moving on. My major concern is the load I am putting on the website but is this small? In firefox the status box constantly flickers transferring data from ... and waiting .. but in other browsers you can't see the activity.
Peek-a-boo, me again. I'm having some trouble with loading in a txt-file and I can't figure out why, as it works in a new .fla file as well. Here's the code in a nutshell:

var weekrequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("weekscores.txt");
var weekloader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();

I have written code to read an XML file by using URLRequest and URLLoader in ActionScript 3.0. Code is pasted below. This runs well in AS3.Problem I am facing is because I wrote this in AS3, I am not able to use the DateChooser component in another part of the flash module because it seems like DateChooser component is not supported in AS3. So I want to migrate my below AS3 code back to AS2.
**** Code in AS3 (I need help in writing equivalent code in AS2) :-
var xmlText:XML ;var xmlReq:URLRequest = new URLRequest("myFile.xml");var xmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
when handling data, i always have to write the following:
var dataSourceRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("/path/file.xml");
var dataSourceLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader(dataSourceRequest);
dataSourceLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, handleDataSource);
while i can understand the usefulness of these 2 objects and event listener being separate, since they often work with each other i'd like to know if there is a method that will combine them all? the closest i can get is this, but it's a bit pointless/nesting:
var dataSourceLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader(new URLRequest("/path/file.xml"));
dataSourceLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, handleDataSource);
what i'd really love would be something that automatically combines the URLRequest, URLLoader and completed event listener like this:
var dataSource:Whatever = new Whatever("/path/file.xml", handleDataSource);
is there a way to verify that an image file exists at the stated URL before passing that URL to various URLmethods?
View 0 RepliesThis is something I noticed on the Adobe documentation pages.
When receiving a textfile from a URL, the function to set the text will either look like this:
function completeHandler(event:Event):void {
var txt:String = URLLoader(event.currentTarget).data as String;
tf.text = txt;

I'm trying to make a barebones, simple flash client communicate ANYTHING to a server over a regular socket. I setup the listeners:
socket = new Socket();
socket.addEventListener(Event.CLOSE, closed);
socket.addEventListener (DataEvent.DATA, onSocketData);
[code]...
And then I connect. On the server side I have a simple policy server on port 843.And then the real socket server that the flash client is connecting to.The flash client connects to the policy server and gets the policy. The flash client then connects to the actual socket server. I know this because I can both see it when snooping the network traffic and the fact that the Event.CONNECT fires off. From snooping the network traffic I can see the flash client send data TO the server when it:
socket.writeUTFBytes( "TEST CLIENT
");
From the server app I can see the data the client sent. The server then returns a little data. I can see this data going from the server to the client in the network traffic snooper. However, the client NEVER sees the data. It never fires off DataEvent.DATA or ProgressEvent.PROGRESS or ProgressEvent.SOCKET_DATA. There are no errors and the connection remains open for as long as I want it... but the flash client never seems to see the data... no matter how much I send.
Over and over I read online that the data sent to the flash socket needs to be terminated with a � zero byte. I can verify it is in the network traffic snoop.if I try to read any data from the flash app via something like readUTFBytes it always returns nothing found.

View 4 RepliesI'm developing a web application with Flash CS5 and AS3.0. The problem I'm having is this:At a certain state, the application goes to a frame with a "loading..." animation that loops continuously until the next state is reached. The animation is inside a MovieClip that lives on this frame on the stage (I'm not creating or animating it dynamically). While in this state, the app is waiting to receive a large xml file from an XmlSocket connection. The file takes a few seconds (literally - not milliseconds) to be received fully by the Flash player, and during this time the loading animation stops. I believe the socket is blocking the animation thread until it's done receiving the entire file.Does anyone know of a workaround that would allow the animation to keep playing while the socket is receiving? I've seen pseudo-threading hacks, but those always deal with computations or other activities that can be accomplished by calling a call-back function multiple times. Since I'm just listening on an open socket, there's no callback I could pass to a pseudo-thread.
View 2 RepliesIn my app, I load multiple xml files. And to load those, I always create a new URLLoader. Nothing special. The first file works fine, the second one does, too. The third one, however, reports to have loaded fine, but the data it holds is actually the data of the second file. The current workaround is to load the third file twice, which somehow works... weird.
