I have a pre-made solution I purchased. But it only works when it's variables are all loaded from a #include .txt. Here's a sample file: [URL] It's all in the form of an include rather than a loadVars. Is there anyway to load this file with a loadVars?

I was just wondering if it is important to include POST as a method of sending loadVars to the php file. i was using POST before and i still ecountered some problems of receiving empty mails. Since i found an example which do not use POST or REQUEST method i dont have anymore prob. I just wanted to get another opinion about that as i wanna start using server side script with flash and i know that ill be using the POST method.
View 2 RepliesI'd like to load a .txt file containing HTML with LoadVars, and have a link within the HTML code perform a Flash action. I'm sure I've seen this before but I'm not sure of the syntax, and I can't seem to find the documentation. If anyone could provide information or links to information on this, I would appreciate it.To clarify--let's say I've already loaded my HTML into Flash. I want a code kind of like this:
HTML Code:
<a action="myFunction();">Start this movie</a>
where myFunction() is defined in the Flash movie already.
I am using an include file, and I've noticed that sometimes the the fla file does not refresh new changes to my include file. When exporting with "Ctrl, Enter" Is Flash loading the include file from the cache?
View 3 RepliesI am trying to control the visibility of a movie clip using a boolean variable contained within a text file.
The mc i want to make invisible is in a swf which is loaded into a 'master.swf' using a MovieClipLoader object.
I have managed to get text to display across various boxes in my loaded (child) MC using a loadvars obeject defined in the masterMC and used by the childMC. I just cant seem to be able to get the value of my Boolean variable to go with the text variables and therefore control the visibilty of my MC.
This is my code - (in the master movie):
var myLV:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
myLV.onLoad = function(success) {
if (success) {
[Code]....
The code it concerns is this:
(which I found here on kirupa i belive)
myData = new LoadVars();
myData.onLoad = function() {
[code].....
Im trying to load a variable from a text file with loadVars.The txt file has this -
Code:
num = 10
The flash looks like this
Code:
var load_lv = new LoadVars();
load_lv.load("tmbnum.txt");
load_lv.onLoad = loadTextVariables;[code]....
Having got into flash about a year ago, I have a fairly good understanding of as3, but I have never had any reason to learn as2. For an upcoming project, we were looking to use Scaleform GFx, with the UDK. (Unreal Development Kit) Trouble is, Scaleform only supports as2. From what I've been told, as3 is supposed to be better in just about every way, so I really don't want to learn a language that?s most likely on the way out, if I have any other options.
Is there any converters out there, that can convert script from as3 to as2? Or another workaround possibility, since flash communicates with the UDK by means of just calling a function, could I create an as2 file that could dynamically load an as3 file?
Is there a way of making a normal loadVars.load load a url depending on a variable you set in the swf?
var reciever = new LoadVars();
loadurl = "test_onload_3.cfm?propertyID="+MY_VARIABLE_GOES_HERE;
reciever.load(loadurl);
so that I can set my variable and then load the variables with the propertyID that I choose in the swf??
I have a flash movie that requires some JavaScript from an include file but I'd like to be able to embed it anywhere without requiring a script tag.
Is there a way to include an external JavaScript file using the ExternalInterface library so I can call the methods in the JavaScript include file later?

i managed to load an svg tiny file on flashlite 3.0. Is there any way to load an svg file dynamically through as2? (i suppose that as long as it is loaded in flashlite there is also a way to load it by as2).

How do set up my Actionscripts so it can load a dynamically updated XML file? As you can see in the code below, I am able to load two items from my XML file; however, my XML file will be updated with more items to the list. Will I have to go back into Flash and hard code that in if I want Flash to read additional items.
Code:
var req:URLRequest=new URLRequest("applications.xml");
var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
var list:XML;

View 2 RepliesI have created an e-card template for a record company. Most of the text and images are dynamically loaded into Flash file so that the client can change them for each individual band. The only problem is i have some pictures that need to link to the bands website which also needs to be changed by the client. Is there any way i can load hyperlinks into the Flash file?
View 5 RepliesI'm trying to load text dynamically with an external.txt file. This works fine. The problem is formatting the test. For some reason, loading the text from an external file has complicated things a bit. Nothing formats the way I want it to...the text size doesn't even change.When I started with this movie, I had my copy in a string in the AS code and was able to format the text color, font, size, textbox width and height as well. No problems. That's issue #1.
Issue #2 : you'll notice I'm using the greensock classes to animate a movieclip (also has text in it). I'm using a mask layer over the MC. When I try running the movie, my animation works fine, but none of my text loads...and it doesn't matter if it's a text string in the code or an external text doc. I was told that I need to embed the font..which I have the code for, as you'll see below..but it did nothing.
Code:
import gs.*;
import gs.easing.*
import gs.utils.TransformMatrixProxy;

View 2 RepliesI am dynamically loading external SWFs in a Main Fla in response to clicks on a menu.
The loading code is standard and works fine for all of the SWFs except one. When I try to load it I get the following error: Error #2044: Unhandled IOErrorEvent:. text=Error #2035: URL Not Found.
I am certain that the URL to the problem SWF is correct. The SWF itself doesn't load any other SWFs or images. The problem SWF is linked to an external class file and compiled with it. i.e. in the properties panel of the main timeline of the problem SWF's Fla I have entered the path to the external class.
1. there is no problem compiling this SWF with the class (it works fine by itself)2. if I remove the external class from the properties panel and don't use it the resulting SWF imports without a problem into the Main Fla mentioned before So the problem seems to be the fact that the external class is linked in the properties panel. Is this a path problem?

View 1 RepliesI've been busting my head forever on this... I'm trying to load variables from an external txt file in the same folder as my SWF file to be used as normal variables in _root and not in Text Fields, every method or Tutorial I found and tried with both LoadVars() and LoadVariables() only works with loading into Dynamic Text Feilds but there is no way I can copy those values into normal variables to be used for other purposes like integers and normal strings...
I've read over a dozen tutorials and tried more than 30 different lines of code but there seems to be no way to get the values into normal variables, the list of things I've tried is way too long to mention, so I'll just ask, anyone here know how to load values into normal variables and perhaps an Array? my text file is called "Strings.txt" but again I do not want to load those strings directly to a text Field I want them to be used in a different area...
I've got a rather simple question about loading in an xml file at runtime in a SWF. I've found a couple different methods to load in the xml.
myXml.load("file.xml");
HTTPService object
URLStream object
What is better way to load an xml file that always has the same name and is located in the same folder as the SWF on the web server?
