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 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 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 just did the Kirupa XML tutorial (for Flash MX) and ... I actually understand! But now I need to change a few things.. and I haven't got a clue.

You can import Text Files into Flex. It's a web application [SWF] that runs in Flash player. And the source may be any text file [.txt, .xml, .as, .js or any other] with content viewable in Notepad. You can as well point to your source file using \ notation. For complete code, see
I'm building an interface that is able to import text and images from an XML file - so the user can easily edit the text/image in the XML without even opening Flash.
This is my first experience with PHP, so bare with me. I've made an Ecard using Flash and Dreamweaver. On the Ecard is a form to fill out, your name, your email, a comment, and the name and email to the person you are sending the ecard to.[URL].. When you push the "Submit"-button it sends an email to the receiver, and it creates a .txt file on my server with the info.
I want to import a remote html page in flash. I do not want it for rendering text as html, just the sourcecode for a page. A sort of editor for html files. When I load it, some data is missing and other strange things happen probably due to '&' in the sourcecode. Example file to load: [URL]

I'm trying to make an xml based tracklist for a music mix on a website. The code loads the info from the XML file, and displays it in the text field, and I have a UIScrollbar component as well. When I test movie, everything seems to be working fine. However, the swf file is 14.1 MB. The .FLA is only 690kb... so where the hell is the size coming from? I only have text in the xml file, and the code is pretty compact. Why is the swf so big?[code];If anyone knows how this could be done so I can create one shell swf file, and load the xml file in the html/php code.

I currently have a file set up that imports and external text file and displays the parameters in the text file in separate dynamic text fields. No problem there. the text file reads: param1 = 300śm2 = 450śm3 = 500 However, what I want to be able to do, is set parameters that rather than defining text strings, define numeric values. I want to be able to use those numeric values to set the x position of an instance of an animated MC on the stage (animated with actionscript). I need to be able to pass the values from the text file to the actionscript. I tried using the code below and it doesn't work..,
the variables from the text file are loaded in swf and in dreamweaver the swf throws an error
Error: Error #2101: The String passed to URLVariables.decode() must be a URL-encoded query string containing name/value pairs. at Error$/throwError() at flash.net::URLVariables/decode() at flash.net::URLVariables() at flash.net::URLLoader/onComplete()
I understands this is because of flash player security and need to place crossdomain.xml file. but the my doubt is where to post my crossdomain.xml file in the local machine(to check the swf) and also in my website for the rest.
im trying to use the following code to load variables from a text file (and later a php file). The code is meant to put a movie clip called mcLoading to show that the text is on the way, and then fade the text in and show it on the stage. The whole code block is inside the constructor of a class.

I'm working on a project currently and need to import a large file FLV into flash. It's not over the 16000 frame issue as I've checked this. I'm in Flash CS4 and have an animation in 1080p res. It will import up to about 4653 frames fine but it will be only part of the complete file. Is there any way around this? We're using this as a cross platform container to alleviate video programs and compatibility issues for training. In the Publish settings we can export for Mac and windows options etc.
