Professional :: Read From File: 20 Vars
Apr 10, 2010
I can't get it to work. I now messed up the code so I have to start over and I'm a bit desperate now
I think the core of the problem in my actionscriptproject is the following:
1. I need to read, for example, 20 variables from a file, preferable an xml file. This file has 20 lines, and has two fields per line, variable name and content
(being text between " ").
so data.xml would be something like:
variable1, "text for variable1"
variable 2, "this is var2 content"
...
or even:
&variable1=value1&variable2=value2&variable3=value3&variable4=value... and so on to 20.
2. Then, from the 20 read vars, a new array should be "populated" randomly! And at this point, I don't even know how to start doing that.

Writing a couple of vars to a txt file is relatively easy.I store them as .sql (sort of) layout, so that i can import them into mysql later.But obvious this is not necessary..
The thing i am struggling is how do i read these vars back into flash[code]...

A friend of mine has a Flash Action script running on a LAMP server that currently reads an xml config file. He's asked me if it's possible to remove the xml file, and replace it somehow with a system (lets call it an 'auto xml generator') that intercepts the request to read that file and generates an output, so it appears to all intents and purposes as if the file still exists and contains the contents that has actually been returned from our auto xml generator'

Im having trouble getting flash to read mms.cfg file. This file only contains one line;
[Code]...
Where i believe it should be stored on a 64-Bit Machine. When ever we check the global settings on a flash video the setting still remains on "check for updates automatically).

I try to read a txt file and split the content into variables, I use the following:
var fileURL = fl.browseForFileURL("open", "Select file");
var str = FLfile.read( fileURL);
the problem is the str get the whole test file, if the text file has multiple line,can I read the file each line by line, such as a function like readLine or something,so the str only get information for each line?

So I stick in this flash drive that me and some coworkers use regularly to transfer files to each other, open up a couple of .fla files and edit some text as neccessary for a project. I save, blah blah blah, get about half way done and hit save.Could not save I:folders]q5.fla.The file may be read-only or already open in another application.Save using a different name, or close the document and try again.Saved, saved, saved, saved, FAIL.What the hell, Flash? Did you forget to lock the document out for your use and something else is nabbing "first open" rights.
Edit:I can narrow down the failure to editing a single movieclip. All of the files I'm editing are based off the same source (they're questions to a quiz, and while not intelligently programmed, its what we have). As soon as I edit the contents of the "B" answer (instance name "choice2" movieclip name boxB) I can no longer save the file with the same name.

question 1:I know I can use:var string = FLfile.read( fileURL);to get the content of a text file, but is there a way to read this text file line by linesuch as:var string1=fileReadLine( fileURL);var string2=fileReadLine( fileURL);question 2:Is there a way to parser(or tokenize) the above string?

I have two variables that I would like to store in a remote data file which can be accessed by my Flash file. It is for a voting system, so the first variable would be a counter that is incremented each time a user votes, and the second would be the total rating. The average rating would then be calculated from these.
How would one store, retrieve, and then update these variables from the data file?
I can create the system within a single Flash file for a single session, but obviously I'd like multiple users opening the file simultaneously to be able to access the data and update it.

I was editing an FLA file which was Read Only due to our versioning system (P4) however, when I did not have a file checked out (therefore was Read Only), I did not get an error when I saved the file (there was even a save progress bar!) - yet when I opened the file again, all the information I had "Saved" was not there. I tested this out on several other non-checked out files (read-only files) and I was still able to hit "save" on all of them - but it did not actually save the file. In none of these instances was I alerted that I was trying to edit a read only file.

In first frame of my movie I've got this:
PHP Code:
loadVariablesNum("produkter.txt", 0);
import TextField.StyleSheet;
var myCSS:StyleSheet = new StyleSheet();
[Code]....
and a dynamic textbox called "myHTML". If I name 'var' on this textbox everything works fine, but I want to write it in actionsscript instead. Where do I write that? (I have 3 different vars in the text-file)

I have a main swf file and config.xml located in the same directory. My .swf file uses config.xml to fetch config variable which it does with success.The problem appears when I put those files into Flex directory. I embed .swf file like this.
<mx:Image id="loading" source="@Embed('/blobs/visualLogo/mySwfFile.swf')"
visible="true" horizontalCenter="0"/>
I also place config.xml into /blobs/visualLogo/
This time I get an error in Flex:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.

trying to change a gallery that reads xml file to one that reads txt files and that also has a preloader and centrally resizes automatically. since i got no replies i tried and finally after a few months managed to get it to read txt files. unfortunately, i have realised that i require the gallery to read data from a php file and not a txt file because i dont have the permissions to create a txt file and edit it on the server.
Code:
spacing = 10;
//photo._alpha = 0;
pArray = new Array();

So lets say I created a simple game with all of the parameters are stored in variables. At any time of the game the user can press save, and these variables will be sent to .csv file using PHP. Each time the user presses save, it will add a new line in the file. This I know how to do.
Here is what I don't know how to do. How would I make it so that when the game is started, I wanted it to load the last line of variables from the .csv file into the game? So basically the last save needs to be loaded when the game is started.

Is there a AS function or another way a SWF file could read its own filename? The reason for that I have a FLASH chess game which can store the position of the pieces in a sharedObject. The name of the sharedObject file as well its path has to be hard-coded. If I need to have several chess-games played at a time on the same computer, to store each game position I need to compile a separate SWF with a different sharedObject filename hard-coded. A user will fill more independent if he could just save a copy of the same SWF under a different name. But in this case how shall I make each copy of the SWF use its own sharedObject?

Im sure this is really rather retarded, but zeros are not being read from my xml file into the dynamic text boxes. ie. if I have a 10 it reads it as 1, and if I have 101 it reads it as 11.the strings calling the nodes from the xml file look like this:this.ref["pos1"].text = nodes[0].firstChild.firstChild.toString();and the xml file is like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encode="UTF-8"?>
<nodes>
<node>
