Flash - Persistent Data In Actionscript 3?
Nov 24, 2010
What packages and/or classes do I want to look into when I'm trying to make a Flash program that will run on multiple desktop and mobile platforms and I want to use persistent data?
Edit:I am working on a program that will allow people to study certain texts following a daily study program. The text is different every day, and I want every person to be studying the same thing. I intend to export this to Projectors for Mac/Windows and I would like to allow people to use it on mobile devices as well. Preferably, the program should not require internet connectivity.

The idea behind is a multiplayer browser game which interacts with a PHP server. Right now it works like this: Every second the browser is doing an ajax call to the php script which checks everything and returns the response. All in all it runs fine, but the problem is that the browser gets overloaded (because of thousands of ajax requests) after a while and it becomes impossible to play anymore. Also the delay of 1+ second is pretty much. My idea is to have a simple flash pixel which will have a 2-way communication with the server. For example:

I'm trying to create a persistent MP3 player using SharedObject. Initially I tried using frames and while it worked, frames suck so I continued looking into it.I came to find out about Flash's SharedObject. It seems easy enough but I can't nail down the logic correctly. I've attached a sample .fla for anyone interested to look at. I need the song progress to be stored and retrieved when necessary to keep the same song playing whenever links are clicked within the HTML page.

I using FlashMX to read in a value from an ASP page into a dynamic text box. This works fine.
I then use a motion tween animation to tween into another image, and there I put another instance of the dynamic text box, with the same name, but the value doesn't populate the text box. It's as if it reads the variable into the text box, but if I do anything to the text box, it loses the variable and can't get it back.
Further, if I switch back to the first frame, the value won't populate either, I have to refresh the browser page to repopulate the variable (read the ASP page again.)
Is there a way to maintain this variable throughout the movie, so that I can re-use it?

When we do XML.load on flash application, then we do netstat on the server-side it opens a persistent connection. Im finding out the reason why its doing that, it should be close right away when the xml loading has finished. problem is the connection remains open.

I have a question regarding the following tutorial and an older (inactive?) forum thread based around it:
Adding Thumbnails Tutorial XML and Flash Photo gallery with thumbnails in a grid (2006 - 2009)
I have multiple pages, several with thumbnail galleries, and several without. On the pages with the galleries, everything appears to render correctly. However, when I go from a gallery page to a page without a gallery, the thumbnails don't disappear. Instead, they remain on top of that page's content.
How do I get rid of the thumbnail gallery on non-gallery pages?
Code for the galleries:
Code:
cliparray = [];
columns = 3;
spacex = 100;
[Code]....

I need to develop a site with a navigation SWF file that changes the content of an HTML page, WITHOUT reloading itself and thus losing its current state. What I think I need to do to have smooth transitions, is keep the same swf file loaded, while having it change the page content below it.
I have some complex html content to include in the pages that is not supported by the tags available in Flash's dynamic text boxes. I have considered the idea of iframes, but I don't know how to load iframes using flash, or how to use them without refreshing the page.

i am currently working on a facebook game and i have a problem concerning the integration of a life counter which regenerates over time for a facebook game. The game is a simple Flash/AS3 shooter in which users are competing for the highest score. For monetary reasons every game costs one life and users should only be able to start a new game, if said life counter is >=1. To clear things up, i submitted a link to Popcap's facebook game "Zuma Blitz": ZUMA Blitz I can think of a few ways to do this, but i don't know which is the best/easiest approach.

I'm trying to prevent a custom tooltip from disappearing. I've tried three runs at this, borrowing from the usual suspects: Peter Dehann, MonkeyPatch and others. As you can see from the code below I'd like to stay within the tool tip paradigm and not go to popups.
way to persist a tooltip? The intent here is to have a component which can be cut and paste from.

I will be creating a program to use for data entry. I'll be studying zebras in kenya and I won't have the internet there as I'm recording the data. I'd like to be able to send the data I generate in flash to an external text file. I understand I need some sort of script to do that, but is this something I can run just on my machine? (I'll probably make the data into xml format).

We have implemented a Flash photo slideshow on our site and it works just fine for most of our users. Whenever the xml.load(success) returns false I have the Flash email me a debug report. For the life of me I can not find a common thread between all of these people having problems with the Flash. I don't think it's a cross-domain issue because it works for most people, and I have the crossdomain.xml files where they should be.
