Actionscript 3 :: Load The Last Text File From A Directory?

Nov 8, 2010

I have this function that loads an specific .log file:

function loadTracks():void {
tracksLoader.load(new URLRequest("/Users/Me/127.0.0.1,"+_logNum+".log"));
}

The logNum variable gets its value, writing it by hand in a separate text file, avoiding to open and editing the .fla each time the new .log has a different name:

logNumLoader.load(new URLRequest("/Users/Me/trackLogNum.txt"));

Some application creates in each session a new .log file with this file name pattern: 127.0.0.1,NUMBER.log // Being NUMBER the 5 digit changing part of the name, each time a new .log file is created. The newer the file, the higher this value is. how to make this script to autoload the last .log file, as it has the highest value in its name.

Actionscript 3 :: Why Moving A Symbol's Class File From Top-level Directory To Deeper Directory Break

Feb 9, 2010

When I have a class linked to a MovieClip in my library and that class takes an argument in its constructor method. That class will compile properly ONLY when it's located in my top-level directory (same dir as the .fla and Document.as files). If I move that class to a deeper directory, say com.place, and update the package statement and symbol link appropriately, the compiler will generate error "1136: Incorrect number of arguments. Expected 0."Create flash project and put a rectangle on the stage. Covert it to symbol and assign it to class TestPanel - or whatever you choose. Also configure the fla so that is uses a Document (Main) class.Create Main.as and TestPanel.as in the same folder. In the Main class, instantiate a instance of TestPanel and add it to the stage. Flash will, predictably, add the rectangle symbol and everything is fine.Now modify TestPanel so that its constructor method takes a Number and have Main.as pass some number to TestPanel.[code]You now get the error: 1136: Incorrect number of arguments.Expected 0.When I move the TestPanel.as into a deeper directory, Flash somehow is looking elsewhere for the base class for Symbol, even though I'm mapping that Symbol to com.place.TestPanel.

Actionscript 3 :: Adobe Air Save Text File To Application Directory?

Jan 15, 2012

I have a bit of code that I want to change to make it save to the application directory. (the directory the application is installed at). While currently the bit of code I have works it just brings up a browse window for me to pick where to save the file. I want it to default to the application directory though.

How do I change it to do just that.

Actionscript 3 :: Swf File Can't Read Data From Config.xml File In The Same Flex Directory

Feb 28, 2012

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:

Flash :: Load Images Into It From Directory?

Anyway what im trying to achieve is - AS reads a directory on a server lets say, it contains 10 images, this would create movie clips for each one and assign them to array "pockets"(im not sure if you can do this in AS, you can in PHP and JS so I'd expect so) then I'd use a repetitive function to manipulate each one of those images.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Select Variable Filename From Local Directory With Fn To Load XML

Aug 23, 2011

I would like to select a specific xml file to load from a local directory. The file name is composed of "Title" + "number sequence". I know the Title (in this case its XLink07), but I need to select the latest number sequence or the latest by date stamp.

For example, the local directory has the following files:
XLink01[36735298100].xml
XLink02[36735298100].xml
XLink02[36735298101].xml
XLink07[36735298100].xml
XLink07[36735298101].xml

In this example I need to select file XLink07[XXXXXXXXXXX].xml where XXXXXXXXXXX is the highest number within the XLink07[XXXXXXXXXXX].xml files. Title is Xlink07 and function should return Number sequence [36735298101]. Files with higher number sequence have later date stamps than files with lower number sequences. I need to select the highest number or the latest date stamp for the file that begins with XLink07.

My action script to load the local .xml file without any function to select the correct file is:
Security.allowDomain("*", "*")
var xmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
xmlLoader.load(new URLRequest("XLink07[36735298101].xml"));
xmlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, showXML);
function showXML(e:Event):void {

ActionScript 2.0 :: Load New Text Into A Dynamic Text Box Already Populated By A Xml File?

Jan 13, 2010

I'm using Flash 8 and I'm trying to load new text into a dynamic text box already populated by a xml file.

I have a home page with 5 different buttons on the top menu.

1. Home
2. News
3. Tips
and a few more.

Upon my home page loading, I have a dynamic text box with the welcome text which is populated by my xml file, here is my code for AS2:

function loadXML(loaded) {
if (loaded) {
_root.home = this.firstChild.childNodes[0].childNodes[0];
_root.tips = this.firstChild.childNodes[1].childNodes[0];

[Code].....

What I want to do is load the news and tips text into the same dynamic text box on the home page when the news or tips button is clicked, so I don't have to load a whole new swf for each category thus making the site faster.

What code would I have to use to clear the text from the xml file and how would I load my new text upon clicking the button?

Actionscript 3.0 :: Reference Break When Load The Main .SWF Of The Gallery Into Another .SWF Within The Base Directory

Nov 20, 2009

I'm having issues with references. I'll do my best to explain the problem simply. I have a website I'm currently working on in flash. I've created the base of the site and most of its content. It functions fine. I went online and found a decent looking gallery that I wanted to incorporate into the site and it works great also. The gallery is in its own directory.

When I try and load the main .SWF of the gallery into another .SWF within the base directory, the references break. I understand that this is because its being pulled and the gallery's .SWF looks for its assets based on where its located. Is there anyway possible to make a .SWF keep its paths relative to where it is pulled from instead of changing when it is pulled into another .SWF from different directories?

ActionScript 2.0 :: Downloading A File From Directory ?

In this case its going to be a .pdf, but I guess my main point is that I just want it to download the file. It should work in both Firefox and Internet Explorer (I don't know if the script has to be different or not?).

Possible To Open A Directory From A Windows Projector File?

Oct 9, 2009

The powers that be have decided a project I'm working on shouldn't go on a website after all, but needs to be on a CD for Windows users instead and of course I only have a couple of days to made the "relevant tweaks" as they call them.It needs to run directly from the CD so I presume AIR isn't a good option.I've got all of it working by publishing to a Windows Projector executable. The bit I'm stuck with is allowing users to click buttons to open various directories which will be on the CD. These are source files for following tutorials from the main part of the CD. I've tried playing around with the various options in the FileReference class (namely browse() and download()), but they seem to be set up for use online only.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Loading Object From File Directory?

Nov 24, 2009

C:UsersPublicMusicSample MusicKalimba.mp3

A preferred solution would be with actionscript alone (I know some things like this are possible with php etc.) and without prior knowledge of where the SWF file is saved at author time. And the finished product will not be in a browser because I know that there is no way around it like that, maybe an AIR application or something

I've tried some stuff such as

Code:
var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader(new URLRequest("C:UsersPublicMusicSample MusicKalimba.mp3"));

etc, but the problem is obviously that it cannot find this directory in the folder where it was saved
