I am working on a survey project where I want a user's answers to get logged to a text file. I used the code from this post to make a php script in an attempt to do this: [URL]
I modified it as follows:
var urlLDR:URLLoader=new URLLoader(); var urlR:URLRequest = new URLRequest( "filewriter.php" ); var urlVar:URLVariables = new URLVariables();
[Code]....
When I run my movie, it does not invoke the PHP script. why it is not working? Are there alternative methods to logging this data to a text file?
I'm trying to find a way to write to a text file from as2. I don't want to use any php or asp because my app needs to run without an internet connection. As3 has FileReference.save() and judging by the amount of searching I've done, as2 doesn't have that simple of a solution. Does anyone have a way even if its hacky to write to a txt file from as2?
Is there a way where I can write to a text file from flash using Actionscript? I want to save some values from a variable and reload that values when i run flash again.
Is there a way to do file reading and writing in flash, like using actionscript 2.0? Just like how we do it in C++. Like read variables or a string from a .txt file and write in it.
I have a simple mc which loads in a textfile consisting of a header and body. After editing, the file is overwritten and saved. All this works fine, only problem is, as soon as the "save file" is finished, and i reload it using one of the buttons, it doesnt get refreshed with the new data.[code]
I'm using flash and php to write or overwrite a text file (an xml file). I have text strings that contain the xml data, which then get parsed by the php file.
It works fine. However, I notice that the header in the XML file <?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?> get's replaced with <?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
I have a simple form in Flash. I need to write the data from the input text fields to a local text file. I need the text file to append after each submission of the form to include all entries. Sounds simple?
I am having a problem getting Flash to work with PHP as I need Flash to read and write to a text file on a server to store simple name/score data for a games hi score table. I can read from the text file into Flash easily enough but also need to write to the file when a new high score is reached, so I need to use PHP to do that. I can send the data from flash to the php file via POST but so far it is not working. The PHP file is confirmed as working as I added an echo to the file which displayed a message so I could check that the server was running PHP - the files were also uploaded to a remote server so I could test them properly. Flash code is as follows:
//php filewriter var myLV = new LoadVars(); function sendData() { //sets up variable 'hsdata' to send to php myLV.hsdata = myText; myLV.send("hiscores.php"); }
I believe this sends the variable 'myText' to the php file as a variable called 'hsdata' which I want the php file to write into a text file. The mytext variable is just a long string that has all the scores and names in the hiscore. OK, XML would be better way of doing this but for speed I just want to get basic functionality working, so storing a simple text sting is adequate for now. The PHP code that reads the Flash 'hsdata' variable and writes it to the text file 'scores.txt' follows:
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?
I am trying to read a simple text file. Nothing seems to happen. From the code below, I only see 'loading' and 'loaded' in my trace. I get the same results even when I change the file name to something that does not exist.
Note that I am compiling my code by using mxmlc from the command line as follows:
I am setting up a page that will read in data from an xml file. Text on the page will de read from the xml file and siplayed on the screen. I am also reading a website in from the xml file that I would like some of the the text to link to. Everything is reading in correctly, and displaying correctly, but I can't seem to get the text link to work.
I have inherited a AS2 project and it currently uses XML to store the text strings. I really want to switch it to ini.The ini file formating looks like this:
Code: TEXT="ladi da di da" ANOTHER_TEXT_STRING="more ladi da di da"
I'm making a yearbook for my school and I have A LOT of information to be shown on it (in case you were wondering, its a digital year book lol). Theres a certain page that has all the headshots of all the students, and when the picture is clicked, a new scene opens with the information on the student (along with fancy opening animations). Firstly, is that the easiest way to do it, or can i have an overlapping MC that appears over the pictures, fading out or blurring the background, then click an X to shrink and fade out and unblur the background...Secondly, is there a way to create a template thingo for this MC or scene so that it can automatically read data from an xml or text file and place it in the appropriate position for that name. For example-the text would look like this
I need to read a text file from a server and then it puts the text from the text file into the text area of my choice. And also, how do I make a variable for a text thing I made with the text tool?
I have an ActionScript driven flash project that displays a sequence of images. Currently I am using an array with the names of the images. Is there any way I can open a text file for reading and populate the array. Otherwise I would have to keep compiling the SWF each time.
How I can save data to a .txt file. This .txt file will be stored on the same server that the flash file is stored on and is executing from. I want to, later, be able to access the data previously stored on the .txt file from my flash movie.
There is some way to make the flash put the content of one text file in a string, or at least put it in the .swf, so the user don't need to download it?
Is there any hook to react to a user drag and dropping a text file onto a browser? If the user drops a text file onto the browser with my page loaded, I'd like to be able to open the contents of the text file using javascript. I don't think this is possible, but just checking.
Is something like this possible in flash?
As an alternate, the user could specify a file path for me, then I could open the text file and read it. Seems like this is a security risk and probably won't be allowed, but just checking. It looks like this is possible with flash 10?
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]...
when the flash file reads text from a xml file, the font display is unclear. when the text is embedded in the flash, it appears clearly
problem in detail -
i am unable to resolve this problem despite my best efforts. see '~about.fla'. it has been decompiled from a swf file as the original source code was not available (can this be causing the problem?). the xml folder resides in the same folder as '~about.fla'. it contains 'about.xml'. you can download these files at [URL]
i discovered a problem - if you view 'about.swf' - when you click on 'history' link, you can see that the text is distorted. this text is read from the xml file. but is you click on the 'key people' link, you can see that the text appears perfectly. this text is embedded in the flash itself.
i have given the screenshots 'text is unclear.jpg' and 'text is clear.jpg' to further explain my query.
I would like to see a line of a text file on the frame that I want (and view it in a dynamic text). This is my text file: Foo Candy Bar Dog
This is my code in the first frame: var myTextLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader(); firstLine.wordWrap=true; firstLine.autoSize=TextFieldAutoSize.LEFT; myTextLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onLoaded); function onLoaded(e:Event):void { [Code] .....
With this I can see "Foo" in the first frame. How could I see "Candy"? a second frame. Is it repeated all this code again? Is there any way to just invoke the Lines array: Array = e.target.data.split (/ n /) And obtain the desired Item?
