Data Integration :: Handle Double Quotes In Data Read In From External Source?
Mar 14, 2011
I'm trying to read some data in from a sql source, some of which contains double quotes embedded in the text. I know I can strip the doublequotes, but don't want to go that route if I can avoid it. I've tried replacing to double quotes with hex codes before passing the text via parameter to my flash file, but the text string always cuts off at the hex code, the same as if the double quote were present in the string. For example:This is a "text" stringreplace double quotes with hex: This is a x22textx22 stringesults when read into flash: This is a <remainder is dropped>Yet if I type the same text string in a variable in flash, the string displays the double quotes properly:

When running flash on a web page you usually have to click the Flash object once and then once again to click a button.
Is there a way to avoid this because many users are missing the second click and wondering why nothing is happening.

I will be creating a program to use for data entry. I'll be studying zebras in kenya and I won't have the internet there as I'm recording the data. I'd like to be able to send the data I generate in flash to an external text file. I understand I need some sort of script to do that, but is this something I can run just on my machine? (I'll probably make the data into xml format).

I have a slideshow.swf (I cannot change it contents, there is no .fla) which gets input from slideshow.xml and finds pictures to display in a folder called 'images' . Pretty basic for a flash picture gallery.
The problem: I want to load the slideshow.swf into a loader component in another flash movie, say holiday.fla. (So i have the loader component in holiday.fla and I tell it to load the movie slideshow.swf). How can i tell the slideshow.swf file where to find its data e.g. slideshow.xml? or How can i have slideshow.swf read from slideshow.xml?

I can not read my XML into a DataGrid. I have looked at the TimeSheet tutorial and have been able to get it to work, but can not make the adjustments to this file. I was wondering if there was a problem with XML itself?

what would be the best way to do the following :
Allow me to briefly sketch the situation i'm in; On my stage i've got a collection of movieclips, each has an unique name. These MC's represent regions of a country on a map.
The most basic task i'd like to achieve is when the user mouse-overs one of these regions, it displays some relative info on the region (Name, size, population etc)
I was thinking about storing this info externally from the fla/swf itself. When the swf lauches it would retrieve the corresponding info for each region.
Having this data outside the swf would make editing and upkeeping it more easy.
I'm leaning towards looking into an XML-file to do this ? (SQL sounds neat but i have no expirience with it)
The Swf would be hosted on a site, but i see it evolve as an AIR-app in the future.

how to create a Flash website, that loads data from an external source(CMS), that can be indexed by Google? Indexed by Google looking at the SWF and not shadow HTML pages. Or exactly why such a site cannot be indexed by Google. I have found several articles; however, none get into technical details or are by Adobe.

I've really looked hard to find an example/tutorial for loading external XML data into a DataGrid component using AS3. The code I'm using at the moment has the XML data in the AS code.
Here is the code that is working for internal XML data:
import fl.controls.dataGridClasses.DataGridColumn;
import fl.data.DataProvider;
stop();
var emailXML:XML = <emails>

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.

For some reason the images that are being pulled in are being compressed and look terrible. What can i do to prevent them from being compressed so much. They are pulled in via an empty movieclip.URL...Here is the AS that is being used to pull the images in and the XML information.[code]

I 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]

Im trying to use dynamic SQL tables on my PHP server so I need to pass the table name to the PHP script. I don't understand why the Data Management system that sets up CRUD won't allow this extra parameter. It says it can only have one input: item. I can get all records, but when I try to create, update, or delete I get an error.
Or is there another way I can pass the tablename variable to the php file before I call any functions?

I'm creating a small app to run from CD-Rom/local installation that will use multiple shared objects for data storage. To ensure proper saving without surprising the user with a permissions dialog unexpectedly, I'd like to request unlimited data storage on first time app launch - Joey Lott shows how to do this in the Actionscript Cookbook... request=mySO.flush(1024 * 500);
My question is,Can I perform this permissions request with the user a single time with a generic app SO in global fashion, so that the permissions would be set for any SOs created during the use of the product (all written to same SO directory),or do I have to request
permissions for each and every SO created? Since the latter would be unacceptable from a UE standpoint, that means stuffing all app data into a single SO which doesn't seem so great from a data config perspective...

We have implemented a Flash photo slideshow on our site and it works just fine for most of our users. Whenever the xml.load(success) returns false I have the Flash email me a debug report. For the life of me I can not find a common thread between all of these people having problems with the Flash. I don't think it's a cross-domain issue because it works for most people, and I have the crossdomain.xml files where they should be.
