Is there a way to extract a single file from a zip file in Adobe AIR?
I'm using NoChumps zip library to extract files from a zip. In this library the entire IDataStream is loaded into memory and after that you can extract file entries easily. In cases where the zip is 5 to 10MB there are no problems. But when the zip is 80MB, which many are, 80MB is loaded into memory. This causes the app to crash and run slow on mobile devices. According to the zip specification,
"A ZIP file is identified by the presence of a central directory located at the end of the file, this allows appending of new files. The directory stores a list of the names of the entries (files or directories) stored in the ZIP file, along with other metadata about the entry, and an offset into the ZIP file, pointing to the actual entry data."
Also, I do not have control of the size of zip files but most average is 60 to 100MB. Files inside are ~4MB.
How would you defer loading of other graphics on the page until after the images in a Flash gallery's images.xml file are finished loading?Is there any way to detect for this, or would I only be able to check if the flash swf object is finished loading? I'm pretty sure the swf object would be loaded/ready as with document.getElementById('flashobject').onload = function(){}; before the corresponding images have loaded though, instead of after.
View 1 RepliesI want to have a xml file for my configuration and so i have to load it from the same directory the swf file lies in and save it afterwards. I saw articles about filestreams in flex but my compiler didn't allow me to use the filestream. I use the open source flex sdk
View 3 RepliesSo I have been trying to load data from an XML file into a datagrid. The project is in Cairngorm framework. The XML file is in the web content folder. I have a HTTPService call in the Services folder.

When I make a selection in one dataGrid it is supposed to populate another dataGrid with the data in the XML file. Below is the Classes datagrid. When i click on a class it is supposed to populate the next data grid.

We have a Flex app that is currently loading an XML file that contains Multiple Choice Question data. I don't want a user to be able to access this file via http, but if I use HTTPService to load the file (what we're doing currently) it seems as though I have to place the XML file within the public_html folder on our server.
Is there a better way to load the XML file so that users wouldn't be able to see it in their activity viewer/access it via http://
I have a MovieClip which is just a progress bar animation with about 100 frames. Then I load a zip file using a URLStreamLoader and subscribe to the ProgressEvent.PROGRESS event. After loading starts I receive notifications correctly and I set the bar's corresponding frame using gotoAndStop(). Everything seems to work fine except for the animation not being visually updated.
It seems that the scene won't refresh until the zip file is fully loaded.
I have a flash file that is 1.5mb in size. As it takes about 6 minutes for someone on dialup to load this file, I have created a smaller swf file and loaded the larger one from it but I don't want the larger one to begin to play until it's fully downloaded. How do I set this up? I have set up the action script 2 as follows: loadMovieNum("top2.swf", 0);
View 7 RepliesI've got a configuration xml file that I need to parse for values before a flex application loads. I've created a static class that allows for the values in the xml config file to be retrieved. I'm initializing this class when the application first loads but as the xml file is loaded with a Loader class that loads a synchronously the class is being asked for values before the xml file is actually loaded - so it is throwing a error. Is there a way to load this xml file synchronously. We cannot embed the file as a class variable as we need to be able to change the values remotely.
View 5 RepliesWe are using an XML file as an external configuration file for several parameters in our application (including default values for UI components and properties values of some service layer objects). The idea is to be able to load the XML configuration file before the flex application initializes any of its components. This is crucial because XML loading is processed a-synchronously in flex, which can potentially cause race-conditions in the application.
For example: the configuration file holds the endpoint URL of a web service used to obtain data from the server. The URL resides in the XML because we want to allow our users to alter the endpoint URL according to their environment. Now because the endpoint URL is retrieved only after the XML has been completely loaded, some of the application's components might be invoking operations on this web service before it is initialized with the correctendpoint.The trivial solution would have been to suspend the initialization of the application until the complete event is dispatched by the loader. But it appears that this solution is far from being trivial. I haven't found a single solution that allows me to load the XML before any other object in the application.

I am an interactive design student working on a flash portfiolio and . I can't figure out how to load a game I made in flash into my porfolio so that it loads after clicking on a button, becomes playable, then have a button to leave the game and go back to my portfolio. I'm working in Actionscript 2.0 because that's all my teachers will show me and I have minimal actionscript knowledge.

I'm trying to set up a .flv file that will have buttons for two different pieces of sound.I've been able to get the first piece to load and to play and stop, but when I try to load the second piece, I trip up.I'm still a novice, but do think I understand the basic problem -- Actionscript can't distinguish between one sound request and another. The question is, how to fix this and get actionscript to understand that I'm trying to load and play two different sounds associated with two different buttons?I get error codes such as "1151: A conflict exists with definition s in namespace internal." , "duplicate function" problems and "duplicate variable" warnings. I've seen some discussion on this site of a recyclable sound object. I think I'm asking a similar question, but although the person who posed that question also posted a solution, I haven't been able to make it work.Here's the code:
var s:Sound = new Sound();
s.load(new URLRequest("http://www.website.com/Water.mp3"));
wellsplay_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,playSound);

I need to loading a PNG file from a server into my flash project. What I want to do it be able to call a PHP page and send it a variable which I can do. Then I want to access a db and get a path for the image, I can do this too. What I'm not sure about is what to do then. What I need to happen is the PHP to return the PNG to flash somehow. Can I just add the PNG to the php page and use a loader somehow? I've been searching around google but most tutorials seem to be getting PNGs out.
View 3 RepliesI've tried loading a .flv-file into my Flash, and it actually works properly. I use the following actionscript:
Code:
var videoConnection:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
videoConnection.connect(null);
var videoStream:NetStream = new NetStream(videoConnection);
var video:Video = new Video(700, 480);
addChild(video);
video.attachNetStream(videoStream);
videoStream.play("shine_introduction.flv");
and when I test, the .flv is loaded and all is honky Dory.
except...
I get the following error in my trace-window:
Error #2044: Unhandled AsyncErrorEvent:. text=Error #2095: flash.net.NetStream was unable to invoke callback onMetaData. error=ReferenceError: Error #1069: Property onMetaData not found on flash.net.NetStream and there is no default value.

How do I avoid these errors, and how much do they actually matter? An example of flash loading the .flv-file can be seen here [URL].

I have a template that have some buttons in the header. I add one button because my client needs one more section in the SWF. When the movie loads the behave of the intro is to load the first button running from flag fotogram "s1", but it's not working properly. The button get's stuck and it's not behaving like it should. When I rollOver or rollOut is not doing what it should do. Why is happening this? I'm loading another swf with loadMovie but it's _lockroot = true. I tried not loading that flash but the button is still not working fine.

View 3 RepliesI currently have a photography website that calls a javascript file from the html page. there are nine galleries of photos and this javascript file loads all the images as soon as the viewer lands on the page where they can select the galleries.
my problem:
the photos load in order from top galleries in the list to bottom, which fits most viewers' patterns (from analytics). however, if a viewer clicks a bottom gallery and wants to see a photo, they have to wait till all prior photos are done loading.
here is the url [URL]
instead, what I would like to happen is that whenever the user clicks a gallery, the swf calls for a javascript file to load the images of just that gallery. right now I have a few on(release) commands.
how to call a javascript file from a flash swf?

View 3 Repliesi want the .SWF file to be opened but not donwloaded until a button is pressed but don't know ho to do that..on frame 1 i have an object (movieclip) that consists of a logo with a blur effect.. after 1-2 seconds the blur effect goes away and you can see the logo. the logo itself is a button that send's the user to the next frame in the main scene.on frame 2 of the main scene i have a preloader that shows the percentage of the loaded page and a progress bar .. everything works great
the problem is that when you open the swf it starts downloading the hole flash site and when you press enter the site is already loaded and you can't see the progress bar of the preloader..i want only the 1 frame of the main scene to be loded, then i want i to stop loading (downloading) the SWF file until enter is pressed.when enter is pressed i want the flash site to be loaded and so you can see the preloader in action..can i put some code on the action layer on the 1 frame that stops loading the movie (the first frame is loaded and the blur effect of the logo plays).and another code on the second frame (where the preloader is visible) that starts the donwloading again?
My boss made a quiz for the Flash movie I'm doing, using the Articulate Quizmaker software, and he saved it as a swf file. It plays great in Flash Player and through Flash. Now, I'm trying to use my main Flash file to call the quiz swf file and play it at the end of my movie. The main Flash file is set up as a swf array, calling the different swf files I want it to play in order. I want that quiz swf file to play at the end.
However, when I do that and I publish the file, I just get a blank screen when it tries to load the quiz swf file and a bunch of code in Flash that pops up. What's going on? How can I load the quiz swf file into my Flash movie?
