Flex :: Load Contents Of An Embedded Text File Into A Variable?
Jan 26, 2010
I have a block of html text which is displayed to the user in a TextArea. Currently, the I have embedded the HTML as an XML object within one of my classes, but this seems like a terrible design. I would like to put the HTML in an embedded file and load it into an XML or String object.
I've tried to search for how to do this, but my searches return information on embedding images and fonts, not text which can be loaded into Strings.
Is it possible to embedded text or xml files and load them into variables in Flex?

I am trying to load a variable from a text file named "variable_file.txt" The variable in the file is "var" and I am trying to assign the word "value" When I run the following code:
Code:
loadVariablesNum("variable_file.txt", 0);
trace(var);
I get the following:
Scene=Scene 1, Layer=Layer 1, Frame=1: Line 2: Unexpected '!' encountered
trace(var);
other times I have tried this I get "undefined"

What I want to do is load the contents of a file and sent it to an mxmlc compiler as an argument parameter. I can load and read the contents of a file using loadfile and setting a property value say propery="filecontent". But the problem is I can pass it into the mxmlc (flex) compiler. I'm not able to pass it (tried with ${filecontent}) to the arg line. Its gives an error: "value contains unknown token 'filecontent'" How will I pass the contents of the file as a argument value to a compiler argument? Edit: The problem is with the include-resource-bundles arguments. When using command line it works. But using ant build doesn't. Do we need to manually provide the name of resource bundles by generating the resource file?
<exec executable="${MXMLC}" dir="${APP_ROOT}/src" >
<arg line="-locale 'en_US'"/>
.. .. ..
<arg line="-include-resource-bundles
[Code]....
which doesn't work and gives and error -> command line: Error: configuration variable 'include-resource-bundles' value contains unknown token 'resources'

I have built a simple Flash application that will be presented using a projector, the application will show messages in the form of questions that will come from a simple flat-file text file or XML file.
In addition to this I would also like to be able to add my own messages using a simple HTML form.
I've been looking around the web for some resources, but have been struggling to find what I am looking for. The basic idea is that the flash application will loop through these different messages from the XML, but then when a user types in a message that will also appear within these messages. Think of it as a sort of dynamic tag cloud.

I'm trying to load the content of a .txt file dynamically... If I leave the .txt file in the same root with the .swf it works perfectly, but I tried moving the .txt files into another folder and it stopped working...
Code:
var path ="/info/myInfo.txt";
var my_lv = new LoadVars();
my_lv.onLoad = function(success) {
if (success) {
// actions go here...
} else {
trace("error load text files");
}};
my_lv.load(path);
"info" is the name of the folder the .txt file is in... I even tried upload it to my server and giving the absolute address like [URL] but nothing...

What I need to do is pass a variable into flash.
I've had success doing this by just adding the variable to the end of the embedded SWF URL (.../mymovie.swf?variable=value), but what I need is the ability to send the swf variables when certain links are clicked, without the page refreshing.
I'm guessing this has to be done somehow with a javascript onClick function.
I've looked into using externalInterface, but it seems overly complicated for this application.

I'm loading content from a text file into a text field in Flash. In that text file I have some simple html tags like <b>, <i>, and <img>. I'm setting the textfield as html text:
myTextField.htmlText = myContent
The img tags work fine, but for some reason the bold and italics are not displaying...the tags are being correctly stripped from the text, but there is no bold or italic text. I'm embedding all the characters I need, but do I need to somehow embed the bold/italics versions of those characters?

I am trying to obtain the variables/contents of a php or a text file from my server using loadVars(), and the problem is that flash can get data from almost every server but from mine. (some shared hosting service) I just tried the code provided in the help files:
Code:
var my_lv:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
my_lv.onLoad = function(success:Boolean) {
if (success) {
[code]....
I'm sure that I did no mistake in typing the URL, for it works fine in the browser (also no spaces, no freaky chars), and when i change the URL to another domain (and put the txt file on that server) everything works fine. I tried both possibilities "network access" and "local access" as well as running from an exe projector. But no chance.

I'm wondering how I can display an Open File dialog box, select a text file, put the contents of the text file into a textarea component via a button... I'm not really used to Flex so I don't know where to start or exactly how I'd go about doing it? I'm doing this for an Air application.

loadVariablesNum("testimonials.txt", 0);
gotoAndPlay("load");
This code works perfect when testing, and it works perfect viewing the SWF, but when you view the HTML file with the SWF embedded, it doesn't display the text file content.

I have a TextArea and a DataGrid. I've populated the DataGrid with a list of text files in a directory. Now I'm trying to load the selected file into the TextArea. I'm getting a null pointer exception when selecting a file from the list, which tells me I'm not accessing it right...I think.
<s:TextArea id="mainTextField" x="0" y="0" width="730" height="523"

<s:DataGrid id="list" x="730" y="0" width="294" height="523" dataProvider="{files}" gridClick="listHandler(event)">

I followed the loading embedded SWF file tutorial and it works fine. I followed the loading external data dynamic text box tutorial and it works fine.... My problem lies when I combine them both. My main.swf contains an embedded about.swf. The about.swf contains a dynamic text box that reads an external text file. by its self, the about.swf works fine. For some frustrating reason (probably super simple), I cant see the dynamic text when I load my main.swf. On my main.swf the dynamic text scroll bar even able to scroll (as if something was there), but I cant see it or highlight it with my mouse.!

I have 2 .swf files.#2 will be dynamically loading into #1.
Lets say the stage size of #1 is 600x400.
Lets say the stage size of #2 is 800x600.
Is it possible to load a larger .swf file (#2) into a smaller one (#1), and somehow see the whole thing? As in, not crop the embedded file to the dimensions of the smaller "containing" file?

I have been searching the web and all of the codes I have found are to play external swf files that have a timeline. The file that I am trying to load does not have a timeline. I am using the Flixel framework for this project and the file that I want to play is also made in Flixel(don't have the source file just the swf file).Most of the code I have is from a cutscene template that I found on the Flixel forum. Here is what I have so far:
package
{
import org.flixel.FlxState;
import org.flixel.FlxG;
[code]....
When I run this I get this error: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert SponsorsState_SwfClass@fb5161 to flash.display.MovieClip., all I want to do is play the swf file for a set frame count then move onto the next state.

I want to build an application using air. The application should load the flashlog file and display the contents after performing some text filtering.But when i load the application this clears my flashlog.txt though my file mode is READ.I can understand that running my air application clears the flashlog and prepares it for new logging. Is there a workaround for this.I dont want to open the flashlog file everytime and check for traces from my web application

I have my main stage, and into this main stage I am embedding another .swf file (multiple instances on a map). I would like to be able to load dynamic text from an array (addressA) on the main stage into the embedded .swf - can this be done?
Here is what I have tried, and failed with:
1) Creating a dynamic text box on the embedded .swf, giving it an instance name of markeraddy_txt, and writing AS in that .swf for markeraddy_txt.text = addressA;
2) Creating a dynamic text box on the embedded .swf, giving it an instance name of markeraddy_txt, creating a variable on the main stage of var embed = {url:'embed.swf'};, and writing AS in the main stage for embed.markeraddy_txt.text = addressA.
3) Creating a dynamic text box on the embedded .swf, giving it an instance name of markeraddy_txt, and writing AS in that .swf for markeraddy_txt.text = addressA[i];
Code:
addressA = [];
function parseXML(){ addressA.push(this.firstChild.childNodes[0].childNodes[0].firstChild.nodeValue);

I want to check the contents of 25 textboxes on stage. Each textbox is embedded inside of a movie clip. Using the counter on a for loop I want to cycle through all 25 textboxes and if they have text in them, i want to place an object overtop of that movie clip . For this example I will only use 3 movieclips, each containing a textbox. The movieclips are named mov1, mov2 and mov3 and the textboxes within them are named text1,text2 and text3
for(var i:uint = 1; i < 4; ++i)
{
var xloc="mov"+i.x
var yloc="mov"+i.y
