I hope i'm in the correct forum to ask this. I am trying to find the application-level configuration folder for my Flash CS4 program.
I assumed it would be in C:Program FilesAdobeAdobe Flash CS4enConfigurationComponents
But it is not. Should I have such a folder? And, if so, where should it be?
Or do I need to create it myself?

This is making me a little kooky today. I thought I could defined a library path in PREFERENCES > ACTIONSCRIPT > ACTIONSCRIPT 3.0 SETTINGS then that library would be available to all AS3 FLA files, but that doesn't seem to work for me. If I use the PUBLISH SETTINGS and define the library path everything is fine.
Is there something that I could have done to disable the application level class path functionality? I guess I'm trying avoid having to set the library path for every new FLA I'm making.
We are using an XML file as an external configuration file for several parameters in our application (including default values for UI components and properties values of some service layer objects). The idea is to be able to load the XML configuration file before the flex application initializes any of its components. This is crucial because XML loading is processed a-synchronously in flex, which can potentially cause race-conditions in the application.
For example: the configuration file holds the endpoint URL of a web service used to obtain data from the server. The URL resides in the XML because we want to allow our users to alter the endpoint URL according to their environment. Now because the endpoint URL is retrieved only after the XML has been completely loaded, some of the application's components might be invoking operations on this web service before it is initialized with the correctendpoint.The trivial solution would have been to suspend the initialization of the application until the complete event is dispatched by the loader. But it appears that this solution is far from being trivial. I haven't found a single solution that allows me to load the XML before any other object in the application.
I am looking for an approach that will allow me to (somehow) dynamically pass the server name, server port, and web context to my Flex client so it can create a ChannelSet for it's RemoteObjects to use. These three properties are, of course, readily available to my Java server-side code so I just need a way to get them to the client.
By default, Adobe says you should compile your Flex application against the server configuration file "services-config.xml". This is a highly inflexible practice that Spring says should be avoided (I agree).
One popular approach is to use Flex's http service to download an XML configuration file. I like this idea, but I don't want to hard-code an XML file and keep it inside my WAR file. Is there a way to dynamically generate this from Java code?somehow use flashvars to pass the properties in from the containing HTML page to the SWF file. But again, I don't want to hard code them into the HTML page. Is there a way (maybe with Javascript?) to dynamically set the value of these when the page loads?

Is there a way to do this without using FMS? If so does anyone have ideas where I can find the information for it.
View 2 RepliesI need to trace the current level number that I am working on. So say I have 3 swf's loaded onto different levels (_level0, _level1, _level2, _level3), and each has a button, so when I press the button in level1, the number will trace 1, press button in level2, number will be 2, etc.
View 1 RepliesHere is my dilema. I need to know how to find what level a specific movie within a movie on the main timeline is on.
I am confused because I am not even using external swf's so there should be no levels
I have tried finding the level using
_root.moviename
_level0.moviename
but when i try to assign this to an array variable it outputs as undefined.I have been able to put some other movies in arrays using _level0.moviename
but these movies are nested inside a main movie that is found on the main timeline.
I have an app that "loadmovies" a slideshow.swf in a sub-folder. THis sub-folder also contains an xml file and numbered jpgs.But when I run the main app, and click on the button to load the sub SWF files, the images do not appear. I assume it is a directory issue.
But if I run the slideshow.swf directly from it's folder, the images appear fine.I am using the xml_photogallery from this site for the main actionscript, is there something I can change here to point to the jpgs path?

View 1 RepliesI'd like to create one empty Flash movie that is essentially a placeholder for externally loaded content I can change through XML. This content would just be able to randomly load 1 of 3 photos, with a button linking to a website within each of the photos on page load. If the user refreshes the page, a new photo with it's link would appear, but I understand since it's random,having 3 images the same image is likely to reappear, but I can always add additional photos and links.
Does anyone know of a tutorial that might lead me on the correct path to create this? I've found some tuts, but they've been different than my need.
We want to be able to upload over 100+ files (if needed) to a server along with desc + keywords. I see that Flash 8 has the neccessary tools to handle file uploading, but my question is, can we have it act as a Stand alone FTP program so that we can utilize the fastest user upload, or will we be confined to the settings in the server INI settings.IE MAX_UPLOAD_TIME,MAX_FILESIZE, etc. If possible we want to avoid using the HTTP upload as it is noticeably slower. So if we can use flash to utilize user BW to upload, then that would be ideal.

View 3 RepliesI got a music portfolio web site running PHP, MySQL and Flash. There's a page showing all the artists my client worked for and when you click on a song title, this title is passed as a variable to a PHP page then to a Flash page. The Flash page contains an actionscript music player which then looks for the right audio file in the database and plays the song. Everything works great except for the dynamic text field which displays the song title. If the song title contains an apostrophe or a single quote, the Flash dynamic text field then shows the apostrophe.[code]

Or is there another way I can pass the tablename variable to the php file before I call any functions?
