I need to figure out a way to allow users to save their galaxy in an outer space game that I'm building. At the most basic level, I need to write the randomly generated galaxy (which is an instance of a custom class) to disk and then read it from the disk later. I've not used Air's filestream abilities before and I'm having a bit of trouble. [code]...
View 2 RepliesWhen ever I try to save a cs4 file as CS5 the adobe flash cs5 will stop responding for no reasons
also, some times and only for some files when I save the cs4 file as uncompressed cs5 and then save that uncompressed cs5 to normal cs5 the conversion works and some times not.
ofcourse any of the cs5 files cannot be saved as cs3 or cs2 for no reasons..

View 1 RepliesI am making a desktop Flash application (AS3). It provides to users an opportunity to save and open their projects.I've used FileReference to open project file
var fileRef:FileReference = new FileReference();
var ourTypes:Array=new Array(new FileFilter("Map Editor type (*.xml)", "*.xml"));
fileRef.browse(ourTypes);
and use file content by using fileRef.data.
var mainXml:XML;
mainXml=new XML(fileRef.data);
User must have an opportunity to add some data in this file (not only read). How can I save new data in the same file?
Here is an example of what I am looking to do. I want to figure out how to locate and save the original (LARGE) image shown here in the zoom box.[URL]..
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to make a flash game have save files using shared objects and I'd like to keep all the data in one file with several children.
The three things I'd like to do are:Check whether the file exists (create a new file if it doesn't), then check whether to child named with text in an imput box exists, and if it doesn't create a new file (using the text in an imput box), and then set the value of that node to 0.
Then later I'd like to change that node to another number (the easy part).I'd also like there to be a way to disable the shared objects (incase the user doesn't allow shared objects).I've tried to do this myself using a few tutorials, but I could get it to work.I couldn't use the text in the input box to name the child,and I couldn't check the size of the child node to see whether it existed or not.
FDT can do it, but half the time it times out and needs to be restarted on renaming some objects. Can Flash Builder do this?

View 1 RepliesI 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.

I am developing a tool for analysis where you drag specific events onto a special wheel to analyze events based on time of day etc. I had a few users testing it and they asked for a save and load feature. I have done as much as I can at this point and am just growing confused. Can one of you experts take a look at my .fla and see what can be done...I think I am close but just can't figure it out. Also, if you can provide comments on cleaning up my code would be nice too.

What is to save? Object -> Type ArrayCollection -> Contains -> Objects from own classes...
What was my first try?
var stream :FileStream = new FileStream();
stream.writeObject(myArrayCollection);
[Code]...
Now the Problem... the fileStream contains my MyClass2 objects with the var "title" but there is no children ArrayCollection... the console don't shows the traces :-/
I am trying to make a little "database" app. I have several obejcts that need to be saved and loaded (saved data files). These objects are custom MovieClip classes.I will say that I don't know much about ByteArray. What I have attempted was to put all my objects into and array, then use ByteArray.writeObject() and ByteArray.readObject() with that array.I assume that the file saves ok, but when I try and load back the file, I get a 1034: Type Coercion failed error. See the code snips below.
Code:
public function ToSave(e:Event):void{
aFile = new FileReference();

I currently have the latest version of the IE Flash Player Installed: I've installed the latest version of the content debugger from The Adobe Flash Player Support Center.

View 1 RepliesI've been fooling with this problem since AS2.0 (and shared Objects) and I'm not much closer to solving it, partly because every article I read on it is focused on php and server-side stuff that doesn't apply. How to load a String Array from a txt file in local user space (the folder from which the .swf is run). What I need to know: The easiest way for the user to save/load a file. The file has to contain Objects and Arrays reflecting his current status in the game. The goal is to avoid non-Flash apps and languages, and external Classes if possible (I do everything right in the main fla). I don't mind that the user has to initiate and approve the upload/download.
View 1 RepliesIs It possible to load Html page Inside Adobe Flash CS5.
Originally, i wanted to bring in through <IFRAME> but i don't see that flash understands that.
Basically I have a background image which is loaded while the rest of the flash file is loaded. So once the preloader has finaly appeared its already half way through which I dont want.
Is there a way I can specify a certain image to be loaded before everything else in the flash file and before the first frame to start?
I am trying to save the information for a layout of movie clips on my stage. I am using the sqlite functionality in order to be able to save the layout to the local database. Each layout consists of several movie clips. My plan was to store pertinent information regarding these movie clips (such as x and y position) in order to be able to reload some new clips in the exact same place.
My problem here is that I want to create just one row in my database for each layout, but I want one column in that row to store the information for each of those clips (in a single row). Is there some kind of nested table functionality in sqlite?6564
I am a psychology student and have the need to edit a flash game for use in a project. Having no programming experience, this is proving to be an issue! Basically I contacted the authors of a study for a copy of a driving game that records data to an external file (I think this is where shared objects come in?). Unfortunately, I cannot find the output file anywhere on my machine (I am running Windows 7 - have looked in the appropriate directories). After downloading a trial version of CS3, I have edited the screens I needed but have not been able to understand the code. I have located the code for the shared object and was wondering if anyone know how to make it save the SOL file to my desktop. Here is the code I think is appropriate:
