Actionscript 3 :: Large Text Files With IndexOf() On An Array?

Nov 11, 2011

I am embedding the sowpods dictionary into an array in AS3 then submit searches using indexOf() to verify existence of the word. When I load a smaller text file it seems to work but not the larger. Since the file is embedded during compile, there shouldn't be an event for loading to listen to right?

Code:

package {
import flash.display.MovieClip;
public class DictionaryCheck extends MovieClip {

ActionScript 2.0 :: Retaining Order Of Files Loaded Externally From Large XML Files

Jul 18, 2006

I was messing around with some old examples, and I ran into an unfinished example where several 30k-100k XML files are loaded and stored as a string into an Array. The code looks basically like:[code]Basically, when I trace the 'this', the order of the files that are loaded is off. Out of about 10 tries, about 3 times the order is perfect. The remaining 7 times, the order is a bit off. Does anybody have a suggestion on how to ensure the files are loaded prior to the next file being loaded? I tried placing a while loop that basically delays the clock for a few milliseconds, and that didn't work either. Besides, that is not really a good solution to arbitrarily waste clock cycles.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Loading External Text Files With Variable Containing Array

Sep 6, 2005

Code:
var externalData:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
externalData.onLoad = function() {
var sectArray:Array = externalData.sectArray;

externalData.load("portfolio.txt");
But every time I try to get one of the values I get "undefined". is there another way?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Preloading Large Files?

Sep 17, 2010

I've built loads of preloaders in AS2 before. However I never ecountered so many problems as now. I'm confused about many things with preloading in AS3. This is my layout:I have a single frame on the first scene of my movie. The main content is inside a movieClip called container, placed on frame 1 of my next scene, which inherits from the class that holds the main code to initialize the game.(I read that this way my code will not try to access any movieClips, or sprites before they have been loaded... as they are not actually referenced from a document class).However my 1st frame where I have my preloader takes ages to load... My first question is... Does this happen because the loading procedure is different now? Or has it always worked like this... so that would mean that as I have many heavy assets in my library that are meant to load on frame 1. (Exported for actionscript in properties).I have a blank movie for a while. I'm using a simple code:

stop()
import flash.events.*;
this.loaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PRO GRESS, Loading);

Php :: Upload Large Files Through A Web Interface?

Jul 6, 2011

I have a site that deals with large video files (sports videos). The site allows users to upload any source file, but most of the videos come from DVDs. I am currently using a modified version of jumploader to encode and upload files to the webserver with an HTTP request. The jumploader is a java client, and looking at my webstats, only about 75% of my users have java installed.

What I want: I have looked for a flash based uploader that transfers a byte stream to a server. Byte streams would be ideal so I can capture partial videos for failed uploads. I have also looked for flash-based ftp clients, but I haven't found anything promising. There are some flash-based uploaders that post via HTTP, and I'm considering this. I do not want to use a simple file post. Some upload methods also put the full file into memory first, and this obviously is not an option for me.

ActionScript 3.0 :: LoadSound With Large Mp3 Files?

Jan 21, 2009

I'm writing a small mp3 player. It reads the playlist from an xml file, then at the end of a song (or when the "Next" button is pressed) automatically plays the next song in the list.My problem is that if the song is a large file (around 16MB), the player doesn't play the song -- I have to click pause then play a couple of times to play it.

The code is roughly:

Code:
function playSong():Void
{
tune = new Sound();

[code]....

where 'tunes' is an array of paths to the file. I've missed out a couple of things, but that's basically it. Is there an issue with loadSound needing to load some of the song first?

ActionScript 2.0 :: Working With Large XML Files?

Oct 10, 2006

I have to work with arather large XML file (about 25Mo).From that XML file (which I CAN'T touch in any manner), I actually need only a couple attributes in each nodes.Parsing the whole XML to load the data will (of course) lead to a "A script in this move is causing Flash Player to run slowly..."Ideally, I would like to browse the XML, only parsing data needed (like you would do in a database...without having to load the whole database before ;-)But I think this is not possible? Isn't it?So, I was wondering: why shouldn't I treat it like a text file, reading it and taking only the info needed from the file?The problem is that I don't exactly see how to do ;-)Following is a copy paste of the first node only...how would you do to read this text and put in an array:name, cloneof and description?etecting the node name, checking that it exists(i.e 'cloneof" isn't present in each node), and filling the array with the value

Code:
<game name="puckmana" sourcefile="pacman.c" cloneof="puckman" romof="puckman">
<description>PuckMan (Japan set 2)</description>

Flash 10 :: CS4 Crashing With Large Transparent PNG Files

Dec 29, 2010

I'm working together with some designers to build a project in flash CS4. They normally send me their work as either jpg's or png files. When importing a sequence of png files I find that flash slows down considerably... but not only that, when I try to copy and paste a symbol that contains transparent png in their timeline it crashes. For instance if I select a frame which contains a movieclip with png's inside from the general timeline, and try to paste that frame on another layer I will get a message of Flash stopped working and eventually it just closes down. I tried this on a version of Flash CS5 and it also has the same problem but worse, as soon as you press Control + C the whole thing closes down. I'm suspecting this is caused by large transparent png files, but I'm not sure.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Upload Fails On Large Files?

Sep 28, 2007

I built an uploader which works fine on decently sized files.

When I upload say a 2mb picture however, everything appears to be working fine - all the progress indicators, on completes operate as usual.... but then the file never shows up on the server?

I realize this is pretty vague, lacking code examples, but I just wanted to kind of put a general question out there, see if anyone suspects anything right off the bat..

ie, is it maybe something more wrong with my server? flash dosent have some upload limit i dont know about?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Handling Large Files/data Within An AIR Application

Sep 8, 2009

I've run into some problems trying to handle large text files in AIR (300+ MB in size). I can open a filestream and read the file just fine and even store it into a string variable. the problem occurs when i try to manipulate this data. Im trying to get each line as an element in an array so i can manipulate this data.Here's what i've tried:1. read the file into a string variable and perform a split looking for the newline character ). this freezes the program2. i've tried reading the file in one byte at a time and putting each line into an array AS it is being read from the filestream. This not only takes long but eventually freezes.

3. i've tried splitting the final string variable which contains the entire text file into chunks to process it separately.4. i've even tried putting the file contents into a sqlite database, but this also freezes.At this point, im not sure what my options are. Is AIR even equipped to manipulate data at this level? I could use a point in the right direction

Professional :: SWC Files Stop Working In Large Project

Aug 17, 2010

My company is working on a casual game which is entirely made in Flash. To speed up development/compile time we split some of it up into SWC files, for example dialog controls, cutscenes, particle effects are all controlled via SWC files. This was working great up until a few days ago, we have been working on this project for about 8 months with no major problems. However, now all of a sudden, when we compile the game, none of the SWC files work. The game compiles and runs ok, but nothing from the SWC files are working.

The strange thing is that if we remove one of the SWC files from the folder (the game reads all the SWC files from one folder) then the game will work. Even if you remove a SWC which isnt immediately used by the game it will still work. It's almost as if there is some limit to how many SWC files you can have loaded. (There are only 10 SWC files in the folder we are loading from).

ActionScript 3.0 :: Loading Large SWF Files Into A Movie With A Preloader?

Aug 7, 2009

At the moment, I am loading an external SWF file into my movie. The swf file contains a large FLV video... At the moment, I am using the code below, and the video is being loaded into a movie clip with the label "vid1"

_root.vid1.loadMovie("womanonbike4.swf");

The video loads fine. However, because it is such a large video, there is a delay. Can I PRELOAD the video during the main movie's Preloader?

So, my main movie starts, a preloader loads the entire main movie AND the external SWF file (womanonbike4.swf). Then, when the movie gets to the part of the main movie, where the external file is loaded, it will just play!

Starting/streaming/loading/playing Large SWF Video Files?

Jul 28, 2009

I have recently "inherited" several websites that feature 1 to 10 minute video animations in SWF formatOne of my challenges is to get these files to appear or play in a timely manner so that the viewer does not loss interest as it is loading. My questions will start with file size.reduce or minimize the size of published SWF files while still maintaining high quality video output? Second, how about this business of preloading.I don't really understand that term but my thinking is that if a large movie could be loading while another, shorter, movie is playing, or a graphic displaying, that this could be useful in my case. Lastly, how about streaming in general. Are there ways to optimally use a given download speed to efficiently stream SWF video?

Allow Users Of Site To Download Large Volumes Of Image Files From Amazon S3

Jul 27, 2010

My website allows users to upload photographs which I store on Amazon's S3. I store the original upload as well as an optimized image and a thumbnail. I want to allow users to be able to export all of their original versions when their subscription expires. So I am thinking the following problems arise.Could be a large volume of data (possibly around 10GB)How to manage the download process - eg make sure if it gets interrupted where to start from again, how to verify successful download of files.Should this be done with individual files or try and zip the files and download as one file or a series of smaller zipped files.Are there any tools out there that I can use for this? I have seen Fzip which is an Actionscript library for handling zip files. I have an EC2 instance running that handles file uploads so could use this for downloads also - eg copy files to EC2 from S3, Zip them then download them to user via Flash downloader, use Fzip to uncompress the zip folder to user's hard drive.

Actionscript :: Download Multiple Large Files And Saving Locally - URLStream Or URLLoader?

Feb 17, 2011

This is absolutely driving me crazy. While I'm a fan of the availability of asynchronous calls in AIR, I'm finding that being forced to use them for something that should be SUPER simple is a severe limitation. So severe that I may end up abandoning AIR and writing native Android and iOS apps instead of using the shared AIR platform.

OK, now that I have that off my chest, here's what I'm trying to accomplish. I have an app that, when deployed, is relatively small. But once deployed to a user's device that user will log in using a login name/password. Once they log in, content specific to that user needs to be downloaded and saved to the local device. Since the content varies by user I can't include it in the package for deployment.

But I cannot figure out how to accomplish this: say I want to download 10 files and each file is 2-3mb and I want to show a "Downloading, please wait..." view during the download. The application cannot proceed until all 10 files are downloaded. But since from what I've seen URLStream and URLLoader are both async I cannot figure out how to block the app from opening the "View available content" and say on the "Downloading, please wait..." view.
