As3 :: Import XML Stored Variables Into It?
Mar 26, 2010
What I'd like to do is set each variable in my XML file, and then pass the value to the global var in my projectso in the XML file, xmlvar1 might have a value of 8.Then in my project, I want:globals.data.var1 = the value for xmlvar1 (in other words, 8)so a) is there a simpler way to do this than the way I've adapted Adama's code, and b), if not, why is the code not working (I'll paste the code below). Basically, I can get the variable from XML into my as3 code, but after all the functions for importing the XML, when I tell it to trace(globals.data.eTP); - it returns undefined.[code]...

I know that flash use the garbage collection metod to delete variables from memory, however into the official guide I see: When you no longer need an event listener, remove it by calling EventDispatcher.removeEventListener(); otherwise, memory problems might result. Objects with registered event listeners are not automatically removed from memory because the garbage collector does not remove objects that still have references. So, it's exist a method to trace the memory status and know if a variable was correctly deleted?

Im having a bit of trouble integrating dynamic variables pulled from a databse using an ASP script with a flash movie.
Background:
I need to send variables stored in a ms sql db to a flash movie to display several values.
The dyanmic element comes in because i am using an ID to select the values from the db e.g id1 = joe bloggs id2 = paul smith
etc
When i am hardcoding the id in the asp script the variables are sent to the flash movie no probs and they display correctly.
I am also printing the asp code on the page and that all displaying fine.
HOWEVER, the issue arises when i make the asp code dynamic and by that i mean I am using request.querystring to pull the id
from the URL - The print out of the asp code is still displaying the correct variables, BUT they are not being passed to the
flash movie at all - the placeholder is blank there isn't event an error!!.
Couple of things to note -
- if you change the id bit of the url in the dynamic script to the printed asp code changes
- THE FLASH MOVIE IS IDENTIAL in both scenarios
- all variable names have remained the same
- it is NOT a location of file issue as we have tested the dynamic code files In another folder and no joy
- we are not using any other file includes or asp code in any of the page - all other code has been stripped out
THE ISSUE WE HAVE IS THAT THE PRINTED VARIABLES ARE NOT BEING PASSED TO THE FLASH MOBIE in scenario 2 where the asp code is looking for the participant id dynamically (i.e from the URL)

I'm trying to import some variables set up in a .txt file. However the variables that I would like to behave like numbers are not doing so.
I have a variable in the text file called "&middleimg=1" when I pull this in and say do the following:
Code:
var numvar:Number=0;
numvar = _root.myvars.middleimg+1;
I get "11" rather then "2" as the result. I tried setting up my text file as such: "&middleimg:Number=1" but get an "undefined" result. Is there anyway to get imported variables to behave like a number instead of a string?

I have a text file that holds names. I want to import the variables from the text file.I can do that, but I also want to create a loop that will iterate through the text file and create the variables. The number of variables in the text file will vary.I simply don't know what I'm doing and need a hand.Here is an example of my variables in my text file.
Code:
name1=Anna&name2=Joe&name3=Carmen&name4=Susie
Here is my URLLoader[code].........
I have variables named name1, name2 in my text file and want the same names in my flash file. I know my onDataLoad function is incomplete but I left some fragments so you can see my failed attempts.

I couldn't find a good, clear question and answer for this in StackExchange, so I'll pose this as clearly as I can and hopefully get a clear, concise answer.Suppose I have a .txt* file with variables for a bunch of objects of one type that I was to load into an ActionScript 3 program. I can use an import statement such as:
[Embed(source="test.txt",mimeType="application/octet-stream")]
private var testFile:Class;
for some of the places where I need to do this, but I also need to know how it's different for files chosen by the user from their local hard drive.n code, how can I convert this file, testFile:Class into an array, result:Array, of strings?*: If you have a solution using .xml or another format, please also include a sample of what the file's contents would look like and how you would get them into variables within AS3Edit: Below is a quick example file I threw together, test.txt:

I want to have a flash document that will import certain variables from an XML file (name, age, and gender) and be able to manipulate them in flash... (i.e, be able to change someone's age or gender or even name in the flash program) But I don't have the first idea where to start. The XML I think I know what to do, but not the flash.Here's a sample of my XML file:

I would love to backup my Flash CS4 keyboard shortcuts, but I could not find the file anywhere on my harddrive. I searched for every *.WFX file (or at least that was the right file type for older versions of Flash). I even tried to make an advanced search for all files on my PC and sort them by date modified, right after I made some changes in Flashes keyboard shortcuts - hoping that I would find the file, but haven't.

I inherited a flash file.It uses arrow keys to advance from scene to scene, so I know there is probably some key listener code somewhere. But I can't find the code! Is there a way to view all code in the document and where it is stored? Or is there a document level area for code that I'm not seeing? I just started using CS4 and I'm not sure of all the new features.

I'm using URLStream to download a big file and save locally on a mobile app. To do this, i need to store the downloaded bytes on a ByteArray:
private function handleStreamProgress(event : ProgressEvent) : void {
if ( urlStream.bytesAvailable == 0 ) return;
if ( urlStream.connected ) {
[Code]....
Are these bytes from the downloaded file stored in Memory? (Profiler doesn't show any excessive memory consumption, though...)
Should I clean the byteArray after each sequence of bytes is stored?

If I load an swf into a movie clip, and then load another swf into that same movie clip. Is the first swf stored somewhere or is it totally gone when the second swf is loaded? What I want to know is if I need to have as many movie clip holders as I have swf's. Else they would have to load every time they were called.

The "inv" variable is set to 0 from the beginning, and when it changes to 1, a movieclip named "key" is supposed to show up.Somehow I can't seem to be able to do this. First I tried to set it on various locations on the timeline - that didn't work. Then I tried to do it directly into the event listener - that didn't work either. What am I doing wrong? Here's the code that goes into the first frame:

//stop film

I was just wondering whether or not actionscript cuepoints created via the default cuepointManager on a FMS stream be seen by other clients viewing the same video? For example if I were to do this: (where vidVideo is an instance of VideoDisplay in flex 3) vidVideo.cuePointManager.removeAllCuePoints(); var cuePointArr:Array = new Array(); cuePointArr.push({name:"stopClip", cuePointTime, type:"actionscript"}); vidVideo.cuePoints = cuePointArr; Will other clients viewing the same video be affected by these cue points? or are Actionscript cue points maintained only on that stream?

I am facing an issue in my Flex application.I am creating some array collections and storing date objects in it.In the later part of the application I will create'advanceddatagridcolumns' with these array collections as the data sources.Initially while creating the Array Col , I do have the 'formats' given by user, for each array collection eg. '1995/06/25' but in the later part I have no access to these formats. I want to display this dates in the data grid in same way as the user has specified. Right now, it displays it in the default format 'Sun Jun 25 00:00:00 GMT+0530 1995' instead of '1995/06/25'.
I have a common 'labelFunction' for these advancedatagridcolumns, and thus I can not use the DateFormatter as I 'formatstring' would be different for different columns. So is there some way to display/retrieve the date in the same format as stored and not in the default way. Or while creating the date object can't I specify that I would always like it to be returned in some desired format.
