Is there a easy / good way of getting the url from the URLLoader object? It seems at least two other people (this guy and this this guy) have wondered the same thing. Maybe we can get an answer here on s.o.?
View 2 Repliesin AS3 I'm trying to load a URL (a Yahoo address) into the application so I can process the source code and pull things out of it.However, when I load it, or any other page, I get 0 bytes back.Here's my current code.
private function doSearch():void {
var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://yahoo.com");
var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();

I was trying to retrieve binary data over HTTP for my Flex application, and was running into some stumbling blocks. HTTPService did not seem to deal with binary data well, people said to use URLLoader. But URLLoader does not have the nice AsyncToken/IResponder interface that HTTPService provides.
So, I did some searching and could not find anyone extending URLLoader to provide this kind of functionality. I went ahead and took a stab at it myself: [URL].. Basically it wraps a URLLoader and an AsyncToken, and maps the COMPLETE, IO_ERROR, and SECURITY_ERROR events from URLLoader to results/faults that get raised on the AsyncToken.

Is there a timeout on the connection made by URLLoader.load? If there is, what's its value, where is it documented and can it be changed? Also, what event (if any) gets dispatched if the timeout occurs? Is there a difference between AIR and browser application in those regard?

how to explain this behavior but I'll try. I am loading images from an external url that requires basic auth so I am using URLLoader to load the image from a unique ID. The ID gets passed to the itemrenderer which then proceeds to load the image. But the images switch around on their own when I scroll. If I load more than 7 images or so it starts repeating images....

I have a flex application which is hosted on Azure.
I have some data stored in a blob in a private container.
How can I use URLLoader to display the data? If I use a public container , then I am able to read from the blob in my application. However, if the type of the container is private URLLoader fails.
My application asks the user to select files for upload using a FileReference /FileReferenceList. The client then compresses the File data and uses URLLoader to upload the contents of the file.One problem with the URLLoader is that the progress event does not get triggered for uploads. How do I track the upload progress? I am unable to create a FileReference for the newly compressed ZIP ByteArray.
View 1 RepliesIm creating flash game that have the functionality to capture/record its gameplay that can be viewed later by the user, like a replay.
As for now Im already able to record the game and write it into a flv format in a ByteArray variable.
What Im working right now is how to send that ByteArray(the video file) to a php script and save it to a web server.
I've run into the URLLoader in flash where it can send the data and php will receive it thru the POST method. Unfortunately, the ByteArray containing the flv data must be first correclty encoded for php to read it. I figured this out from the example in the net where it does the same thing only that it is only sending a JPEG ByteArray instead of a FLV format using the JPEGENCODER.
Is there any existing class like the JpegEncoder for FLV format or any Video formats? Or any work around like creating the encoder my self?
here is my current code to send the ByteArray
//send byteArray to a php script
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest(url);
request.method = URLRequestMethod.POST;

I have a scheduling application that allows users to save any changes. When the user clicks the save button, Flex sends all the information to a coldfusion script which picks the information apart and sends saves it to the database. That all works well and good, but I would like to be able to display some sort of text to the user saying something like "Your file was successfully saved" or "There has been an error.

I have a ProgressBar in MANUAL mode responding an URLLoader's progress events that seems to get drawn far less frequently than I would like. If I debug the app, I can see many events firing from the URLLoader yet it seems that the ProgressBar is being re-drawn at some random and slow rate.
Now if this was my own code (URLLoader is a black box), I would pause once in a while to let the UI update, say via loop with a timer. I presume that the URLLoader itself is blocking the main thread from processing drawing code. Adding validateNow() and invalidateDisplayList() does not seem to help much.
private function onLoadProgress(resource: TResource, evt: ProgressEvent): void
{
_progressDialog.prbCurrentItem.setProgress(evt.bytesLoaded, evt.bytesTotal);
_progressDialog.prbCurrentItem.validateNow();
_progressDialog.prbCurrentItem.invalidateDisplayList();
}
Now there are many TResources (just a class that can manage its data) being loaded in sequence, but the URLLoader is so greedy that it does not let the UI get updated more than a few times when loading & processing (parsing into XML objects) 50 or so 10KB files. So just counting which files loaded visually does not work either; I'm lucky to get 2-3 screen updates the entire time.
Loading a 700MB file looks much better, but again the progress bar updates are random and slow.
Additionally, I'd like to know if there is any way to influence or even control the rate at which ProgressEvents are fired by the URLLoader class. I have not been able to find at what rate it normally dispatches progress events either; is it at a fixed percentage per file or every x frames or milliseconds?
As these are local files, would I be better off not using the URLLoader class and instead switching to FileStream?
Ran into a weird Flex bug (i guess)... I am uploading using URurlLoader.load(urlRequest)... on cancel button click, urlLoader.close() is called.. but this doesnt abort the upload the file shows up on the server. Is this a Flex bug or am I missing something? Can anybody confirm if they have been able to abort an upload / load with the urlLoader.close() method call?
View 1 RepliesIn Adobe AIR 1.5, I'm using URLLoader to upload a video in 1 MB chunks. It uploads 1 MB, waits for the Event.COMPLETE event, and then uploads the next chunk. The server-side code knows how to construct the video from these chunks.
Usually, it works fine. However, sometimes it just stops without throwing any errors or dispatching any events. This is an example of what is shown in a log that I create:
Uploading chunk of size: 1000000
HTTP_RESPONSE_STATUS dispatched: 200
HTTP_STATUS dispatched: 200
Completed chunk 1 of 108

I'm building a portfolio website and I'm using URLloaders to load new content.I want the user to be able to change the content they're loading before it completes. aka, stop the current load and load something else.
Adobe Actionscript 3.0 reference says I can use the following:"Use the unload() method to remove movies or images loaded with this method, or to cancel a load operation that is in progress."
Here's what I have (my attempt to stop the loader is in bold):
button_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, newPage);
function newPage(e:MouseEvent):void { loaderState=true; newDescription();
if (loading){

I'm want to use a URLLoader in one line, but I know Internet Explorer has given me problems loading local files when the listener is added after the load call.

Everything runs fine in Firefox, but when the SWF tries to make a request in IE, I get an IOError. I've read that it might have something to do with no-cache settings and that a possible solution is to use URLRequestHeaders.
View 0 RepliesI'm trying to add a name property to the xmlLoader object just as I have successfully done with the photoLoader object. When the last line of code is present the following error is thrown:
1119: Access of possibly undefined property name through a reference with static type flash.net:URLLoader.
I suppose this has something to do with the URLLoader not inheriting from Display Object like Loader does. Is there anything I could do to add a name property to this URLLoader?[code]...
I am having an issue in getting flash to call my PHP script and then get the variables back into flash once the PHP script has queried a mysql database. I have tried to chop things in the php script down to their bare essentials. I am new to AS3 so I am having some trouble integrating the two. I know that my DB info and querying works so it must be something with passing data between flash and PHP.

Anyone have any suggestions about unloading an URLLoader. I'm loading xml data and trying to load different data on button click, but it just keeps piling up, I'd like it to replace the old data.
View 7 RepliesRecently i got job that finaly includes some AS3, so im getting back into the world of flash again. But as you all can imagen, not without problems... let me explain what i'm trying to get working:
A little background:We are currently recreating a game within flash, the game requires a login to create a sessionid (server side) to retrieve gamedata based on that sessionid. The login page for this, is done with a certain framework (cake), wich we are not going to change, because the existing game is already in production phase.
The problem:The original form sends the username and password with nested variables like this:
<input id="LoginUsername" type="text" value="" maxlength="40" name="data[Login][username]"/>
<input type="password" id="LoginPassword" value="" name="data[Login][password]"/>
AS3Trying to replicate the request in as3 like this:
[AS]
public function login(username:String, password:String):void{
var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest(this.baseUrl + this.loginPath);

Whats the difference between a URLLoader and just a loader?
and when would you use each one? Just been watching a video tutorial and the guy loaded some XML using the URLLoader but I've seen just the Loader being used for other items such as jpg's.
I am having a problem with my ProgressEvent.PROGRESS handler. It looks like this:
Code:
function handleProgress( event:ProgressEvent ):void {
var percent:Number = Math.round( event.bytesLoaded / event.bytesTotal * 100 );
trace("Uploading %" + percent);
}
It just traces "Uploading %100" every time
I am using a big file so I know its taking several seconds between calling URLLoader.load and complete. There just doesn't seem to be a report in between 0-100..
I am loading a sound file with the URLLoader class passed to the URLRequest class, just as one would load any other external content type.
Code:
var loader:URLLoader=new URLLoader;
loader.load(new URLRequest("file.mp3"));
When the loading is complete I would like to pass the data to a Sound Object.
Code:
var mySound:Sound=e.currentTarget.data
The object returned on the complete event is of type flash.net::URLLoader.
Code:
e.currentTarget
How can I turn this URLLoader into a Sound Object?
I have encountered an interesting problem when I try to load an .xml file using a URLLoader (within my own custom class). I have several configuration .xml files which I use to configure the application when it launches. For example, in the code below, myCustomLoader is a custom class I wrote that takes an .xml file as a parameter. The myCustomLoader class encapsulates all the instantiation of the URLLoader class and error handling etc. The code below operates as expected, the configuration files load into memory, and they're accessible throughout my App.

I want to instruct a server-side PHP script to generate a dynamic PDF using variables I submit from Flash. I then want to download that PDF back into my Flash application. Can I use "Loader" or "URLLoader" ? If so, how do I structure my code to render the PDF within Flash when it comes back from PHP? ...or do I have to use Flash Remoting or other means to achieve my goal?
