So let's say we want to load some XML -
var xmlURL:String = 'content.xml';
var xmlURLRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest(xmlURL);
var xmlURLLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader(xmlURLRequest);
[Code]....
I hate that you can't just say e.target.src or whatever - is there a good way to associate URLLoaders with the URL they loaded data from?
when handling data, i always have to write the following:
var dataSourceRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("/path/file.xml");
var dataSourceLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader(dataSourceRequest);
dataSourceLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, handleDataSource);
while i can understand the usefulness of these 2 objects and event listener being separate, since they often work with each other i'd like to know if there is a method that will combine them all? the closest i can get is this, but it's a bit pointless/nesting:
var dataSourceLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader(new URLRequest("/path/file.xml"));
dataSourceLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, handleDataSource);
what i'd really love would be something that automatically combines the URLRequest, URLLoader and completed event listener like this:
var dataSource:Whatever = new Whatever("/path/file.xml", handleDataSource);
I have a queue of messages that I would like to send to a URL and I would like to remove messages from that queue only after I am sure they have been successfully sent. To do this I need to know in the COMPLETE event for the URLLoader exactly what data was sent so that I can remove the correct message from the queue.That is if I have something like this.
var urlRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest(targetUrl);
var urlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
urlLoader.dataFormat = URLLoaderDataFormat.TEXT;
[code].....
I made a test where I download a file using URLLoader - something like this:
[Code]....
in the middle of the downloading process I physically disconnect the internet connection. the download stalls - but after aproximately 30 seconds downloadSuccessful is invoked, although only half of the data was downloaded. how can I make sure that the data to be downloaded is complete and correct?
I'm loading in a jpeg and sometimes the Event.COMPLETE is never fired. I have a ProgressEvent that traces out the bytesTotal and bytesLoaded... and it goes all the way up until the bytesTotal equals bytesLoaded... but randomly, the Event.COMPLETE is never fired!
View 3 Repliesok this seems to look like it should work.. but for some reason the Event.COMPLETE listener for the loader is not getting fired..
does anyone see something that I missed..
i put in trace statements in to see where its not getting to..
I verified this so far..
- the constructor function does appear to add the even listener to the loader.
- Unit3DPreview.load() function gets called (from the parent class) and receives the _path string properly..
- the loader does have an Event.COMPLETE listener at the time of the loader.load() call..
- the renderAnimation listener function never gets fired off.. even though the listener has been added..
there is no IO error.. the image is in the correct location.. I know this because if I remove it .. I get an IO error..
one thing is that there is an instance of this class already placed inside a library symbol that is associated to another class that passes a bunch of data .. the preview image path being one part of it.
not sure if having it be already existing vs me creating it via code would make a difference .. that is something I have not tried yet.
[Code].....
How can I reorganise the code below so the trace commands output i for each element in the photourls array and not just the last element? In a 6 element array, the trace(i); line outputs 5,5,5,5,5,5 rather than 0,1,2,3,4,5.

I'm querying a web application in a remote server through XML files and receiving answers in the same file format. Until now, sometimes I received a connection error:
Error #2044: Unhandled ioError:. text=Error #2032: Stream Error. URL: http://server/Services/startSesion.com
at reg_jugadores_fla::MainTimeline/queryGQ()
at reg_jugadores_fla::MainTimeline/reg_jugadores_fla::frame1()
When this occurs, trying to access the services through a web browser, there's a test page where you can try queries, returns a "500 Internal server error". I managed that problem adding a listener to catch the error:
xmlSendLoad.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR , catchIOError);
But since yesterday I can't connect anymore using Flash while it's possible to access the test page. I'm not able to talk to any support guy as the company is closed for vacations! I added listeners to try to know what's happening and this is the result in the output window:
openHandler: [Event type="open" bubbles=false cancelable=false eventPhase=2]
progressHandler loaded:154 total: 154
httpStatusHandler: [HTTPStatusEvent type="httpStatus" bubbles=false cancelable=false eventPhase=2 status=200]
AFAIK, status=200 means OK but why the COMPLETE event isn't dispatched?. So, is there anything I can do or just wait until the tech guys return from the beach?
/************************************************** ********/
queryGQ(sessionURL,sessionQS); // Start session
stop();

I am experiencing an interesting problem...I have a URLLoader instance with a Event.COMPLETED listener. I can reproduce behavior such that when the listener is called, there is a discrepancy in the amount of loaded data.
[Code]...
I�m getting Error #2032 when my URLLoader complete event finishes firing. What I can�t figure out is why. The complete event fires successful (I ran a number of trace statements to make sure it made it all the way to the end of the method with no error) and I�m not getting any helpful output when I trap the IOError. Here is the error message:
[IOErrorEvent type=�ioError� bubbles=false cancelable=false eventPhase=2 text=�Error #2032: Stream Error. URL: file:////Volumes/Macintosh HD/Users/shanemcgarry/Documents/School/DGM 6122/Final Project/�]

I am trying to setup two variables:
var xmlURLLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
var xmlURLRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest();
I am taking some old AS code and trying to plug it into Flash Builder. I am getting a "Type not found."warning with those variable declarations. Does anyone know which package to import?
I am trying to send a server "schooltraq.com/api/" variables for a request.My Code:
package
{
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.events.*;

How ever when I keep getting back "error:empty request". I emailed the site owner and he said that my program may be dropping the data during redirects.[URL]
I am working on a flash website that loads live inventory data from a public csv file publish by google docs. the csv file is located at a public address on google docs server:[URL].. I am using a URLloader and URLrequest within my flash movie to grab this data and assign it to different variables.
It works great when I preview the movie in flash. However, when I go to publish the movie and preview the html file its loaded into in dreamweaver, I get a security warning from adobe flash player: Adobe Flash Player has stopped a potentially unsafe operation
I went ahead and published the html file that contains the swf file to the web, and when I go to my site, I don't even get the flash player warning; it just sits there like its trying to load the URLrequest and never completes.
I understand that flash player has a security measures that prevents flash files from accessing files outside of the server directory that the swf file is published to. I know you can create policy xml files to tell flash it's okay to load the data, but those policy files have to be located on the public server from which the data is being grabbed. But it's not like I can waltz on to google's servers a stick a policy file in there!
Is there any way to tell the flash player it's okay to load this data without getting that security error? I can't have the end user having to go into their flash settings and adding the location manually. I just need it to work without the security warning.
Is there another method of loading data from an external server without tripping up flash player security? aka, something other than URLloader and URLrequest?

What is the difference between URLLoader and URLRequest in Actionscript?
View 1 RepliesI need to parse a particular web page every 25 seconds in order to take some particular values that are frequently updated in this web page. I need the parsed values in order to dinamically fill some text inputs components. So I write the following script:
Code:
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.events.TimerEvent;
import flash.utils.Timer;
[Code].....
With this script I'm able to get the webpage and parse the particular line of code that I need but only the first time! When the timer goes to zero the URLLoader function always loads the first version of the webpage and not the one that has been updated in the meanwhile! So I have always the same values! Using the trace function I have discovered that URLLoader loads the first version of the webpage. I don't know what is the problem here. Cache problem? URLRequest or URLLoader problem (maybe I have to clear the previous data?)?
I am experiencing an issue with playback on RTMPE streams. after investigation it seems that the FMS server is firing the NetStream.Play.Complete message at random points, indicating that a stream has ended. This is happening and random points during the stream, not even close to the end.[code]As you can see roughly 17mins into playback...although the stream is 1 hour 24mins long.I have tested this numerous times, and each time it is at a different point in the stream.Intermittently the NetStream.Play.InsufficientBW warning is being fired prior to NetStream.Play.Stop.I am using a player built on OSMF 1.5
View 1 RepliesI am building a simple swf that will load in variables from an asp page using a URLloader and URLRequest. The asp page loads in the current values from a SQL database but these values will change every second. My swf loops every 6 frames and loads the data. How much load this puts on the server? And when the server is busy might this cause a problem with the variables I am reading in?
Does AS3 run all actions on frame 1 before going to frame 2 etc? I don't know if this is the best way but my last variable in the ASP page is called Loaded and I test for it before moving on. My major concern is the load I am putting on the website but is this small? In firefox the status box constantly flickers transferring data from ... and waiting .. but in other browsers you can't see the activity.
there you are, you set up your AS3 code to load XML via a URLLoader and URLRequest, as normal. You then take your XML file, and upload it to a server. You then run your program, and trace out the XML you receive. So far so great, and you see the results of your XML traced out. Then you change something on your XML, either adding to it or removing a line. You then run your program again from CS5.5, and trace out the XML, and it shows the same results that it did before you made any changes. I deleted the XML file from the remote server, and it is like it stored it in cache, and still able to read it. If I change the url or file name, it gives me an error, which it should.
If I point the url back to my remote XML file, and run the program again, it gives me the XML results I had in the beginning, before I made any changes to it (regardless if the XML file exists). The only fix I have found so far, is closing CS5.5, and reopening, and then it can see the changes. I did that, and it was able to see my XML changes on my remote server, but again, only one time. If I try to change anything, or delete the XML file, it still pretends as if its there, reading the results that it read the first time I run the program. Is this a cache issue? Anybody else experience this? I never remember running into this problem using CS5/CS4/CS3, only CS5.5. Of course, I can test it all locally first, and then upload the XML file to the remote server when I know that no other changes need to be made, but still, this is really weird!
I have an AS3 movieclip with a button. Both the movieclip and button needs a click event but when I click the button it also fires the parent movieclip's event handler.

I have written code to read an XML file by using URLRequest and URLLoader in ActionScript 3.0. Code is pasted below. This runs well in AS3.Problem I am facing is because I wrote this in AS3, I am not able to use the DateChooser component in another part of the flash module because it seems like DateChooser component is not supported in AS3. So I want to migrate my below AS3 code back to AS2.
**** Code in AS3 (I need help in writing equivalent code in AS2) :-
var xmlText:XML ;var xmlReq:URLRequest = new URLRequest("myFile.xml");var xmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
Using flex builder with flex sdk 3.4.0 if the module is remote like url...The READY event is never fired, i don't understand why.Do you get the same behavior? Original code is from url...[code]
View 3 Repliesis there a way to verify that an image file exists at the stated URL before passing that URL to various URLmethods?
View 0 RepliesI am loading in binary files with the url class which can be quite large 10mb + and it works fine on my server but another server I am testing on it can sometimes not work. Sometimes it will not load the file and other times it will only load about 20% and it throw a complete event??? Then of course other times it works fine. This server is https maybe that has something to do this it?
View 0 RepliesI am working on Flex project these days and having java background. In my current task, same pop up is opened when two different types of custom events are being fired and I have to hide a button for one event type. So, how i can get event type.
View 2 RepliesI've just been working on a splash page/main menu for my game, and when tracing a value in the function fired when added to stage, I noticed it was tracing twice.After a process of elimination I found it was caused by some text inside a movieclip in the library.
This is literally my first time using MovieClips in AS3, as I generally just render everything manually, but I used one to knock up some quick text.When converting the text to vector graphics, the problem disappeared. Still the same MC being created and added, yet no problem. It was caused by the text.Doing away with MC's completely, embedding the required font and just using manual TextFields is my solution.Tested on 2 different FP10 builds by the way, same behaviour on both.
<mx:Label id="myLabel" dataChange="{trace('changed!!');}" />
I change the text in the above label:
myLabel.text = "new text";
But nothing is traced as it's supposed to.
Am I using a wrong event? I thought dataChange is fired when text in the label is changed.
I have 2 files, 1 to dispatch the event and 1 to receive it (of course in addition to the event class itself).
I've done this before with both dispatching and receiving files being mxml, but this time the dispatching file is an actionscript class, and it's not working this time. Is it different for actionscript classes?
Here's a dumbed down version
The dispatching class dispatches the event as soon as it's created.
public class ASClass extends UIComponent{
public function ASClass(){
dispatchEvent(new MyEvents(MyEvents.FIRE_EVENT));
}
}
in my main mxml app, I instantiate the ASClass which automatically dispatch the event as soon as it's created and the main mxml app should receive back.
protected function appCComplete(event:FlexEvent):void{
addEventListener(MyEvents.FIRE_EVENT, gotEvent);
var asClass:ASClass = new ASClass();

I'm (slowly) learning Flex 4 and working on skinning a custom component that extends SkinnableComponent. The component is all in ActionScript and essentially looks like this:
[Code]...
The issue I'm having is on NULL REFERENCES in the Constructor for the various SkinParts, because they're not created yet. I'm trying to find out when is the best time to access them to assign their .text values. I know I can override partAdded() and add the .text value as each part is added, but I'd rather just listen for some magic event that is dispatched when they're all available.I'm not sure whether or not it matters, but the accountName, accountNumber variables are assigned by using a repeater with a dataProvider on the host component. I'm not sure if that too has something to do with when the data is available to the AccountSummary component - which may also needed to be waited on. I was able to successfully use FlexEvent.CREATION_COMPLETE to assign all my .text values to the SkinParts, but is that the right event/best practice?
I've got this weird problem with Flash in a embed browser in an ASP.NET Windows Application. I've got this Flash Movie that runs in the Windows application and has got a couple of comboboxes. I've added an eventlistener to such a box, but his change event isn't triggerd on some computers. When I click on the combobox it opens up, but when I click on an item in the combobox it closes before he could trigger the change event.
The weird part is that this occurs on some computers, on others it works as it should. And when I load the swf directly in the browser the comboboxes work all the time. So it has something to do with the Windows Application and Flash. All the tested computers have the Flash plugin version 9 and higher (needed for my movie) installed.
