Xml :: Creating And Populating A New XML File On The Server To Be Reloaded At A Later Date?
May 17, 2011
I have an application that reads in an external XML file, parses out the pieces, displays them, and then allows the user to edit them. I would like to have a save button that the user can press that would save any changes to a new XML document somewhere on the server (any file location that I specify).I've been looking around online, and can't find any examples... all I can find is that this ability wasn't available until flash v.10.Another option i was considering was to create an XML variable, create it's value, and then somehow forward the user to a coldfusion page where I could then create a file.
I suppose this is an easy question but I can't seem to get it to work. How does one create and populate a 2d array in flash? I am first defining the array with:
[Code]....
that this code exists in another for loop which loops i also please assume that 5 is my total list of entries in the xml file i simplified my code for posting. i just want to know what the proper synax is for populating this 2d array. also how do i access it? array [i,c]? right now whats happening is the array does fill up but only with the last values.
I have a 20x20 matrix set up in Excel that I'd like to recreate in Flash. Essentially the values are either 0 or a calculated formula of -Fo or 1+2(Fo).
My question is with a matrix of this size, is there an efficient way to create and populate it besides hard coding the address for each data cell? Can I make this using a loop?
I've attached a snippet of what the Excel sheet looks like. Notice the data trend.
I'm using flash CS4 and actionscript 2.0. I have a situation where I need to locate and check the date of an external file (either .exe or .swf) and return that date string to a variable in flash. I then need to display that date to a piece of dynamic text within the flash file. Is there a function within action script that will check and retrieve the file date of an external file.
Wasn't sure where to post this one as I'm not sure where the error is occuring.I have datagrid components being populated from a mySQL DB using php. The grids exist on external swfs being loaded into a parent clip.The datagrids populate locally no problem when tested individually and when loaded into the parent clip. They have also been working from the server in previous days, but I was doing final tests checks on some recent final changes and now things aren't working.obviously I went back and ran through what I changed but nothing really applied to the grids.Codes are below
Code: //DISPLAY ON TAP BEERS var myOnGridArray:Array = [];
I want to make a flash widget type thing that shows the date and possibly the day. I have already made one for the clock, but want a seperate one for the date.
I have a swf file in which a simple animation is playing in which it starts from frame 1 and stop on frame 35i have two html page in which embedded same swf on both html pages i have a link in one html page when i click this link second html page opensin which same swf embedded which is loaded again in this page ....I only want that when i go to second html page swf should not reloaded
My flash file works fine in all browsers, but When I reload the page(IE 7), the flash file is not dislpaying..but when I relaod Mozilla or other browsers its work fine.
I'm experiencing a few memory leaks each time my swf gets reloaded. I have closed the netstream, removed the listeners and the container, tried UnloadAndStop(); but in the end I'm still missing someting as some Mb leak anyways...Here goes my child swf source code:

I'm currently working in Flash mx 2004 and am creating a version of 'what happened in history today'. So my final layout will have the following iobjects.
Heading: 'current date' Title: 'On this day in History' Text box: Which displays the right description from a text file. history.txt Image box: which displays a pic related to the current date.
I know basic Flash but have been playing around for ages am having real trouble getting things to work correctly. The main priority is to get the text loaded based on the current date. I have an images folderwhere the pictures are stored with files names related to date i.e. 14feb.jpg and my history.txt file is set out with a line for each date. i.e., 14feb=Valentines Day etc.
I do have a set of images (lets say 1,2,3,4 and 5) in an html page. what I want is once the html page is reloaded, the order of the sliding should change randomly (from 1,2,3,4 and 5) to (4,5,3,4,5...)for example.
How can I make this AS script work with the php script below?
server = new LoadVars(); server.onLoad = function(ok){ if (!ok) return trace("Unable to get the date from server"); counter.onEnterFrame = countdown; counter._visible = true; this.time = Number(this.time)*1000
I have successfully managed to follow and implement the flash date countdown timer tutorial given here: [URL]
However I need to get the time from my server rather than the client so that everyone see's the same time and nobody can view the rest of the movie before the deadline has been reached.
Instructions are given to get the tiome from the server using PHP, however our website runs on asp.net so i cannot use this PHP script.
I know I can call the date from my server on an aspx page with:
<% dteDate = Now %> <%=dteDate %>
Which displays as:
19/03/2007 12:40:29
Is it possible to pull that into the countdown? If so where do I need to start?
My app needs to fetch the current date and I don't want it to come from the computer's clock. I've searched [URL] and other sites for APIs, but have come short so far. Is there a web service somewhere or any other dedicated server where I could fetch today's date from using AS3?
My FMS client is calling a function (simplified) which gets the offset time in milliseconds of an flv file.According to the docs for creationTime, it should return a Date object containing the time the file was created.I cannot access any properties of the date object in the server script.
Client.prototype.listFiles = function( folderName ) { var testFile = new File('/streams/folder/fileName.flv'); trace("creationTime: " + testFile.creationTime);
I am making a countdown ticker that would get the current server date & time and then calculate the remaining time from a target date.
I am using a PHP file to output the current server date & time. Then I use the Flash's loadvars function to get the result and format it as a Date field. However, when I trace for remaining days using targetDate-serverDate, I get NaN as the result.
Below is the code for my flash script as well as the php script.
Flash Code:
Code: onClipEvent (load) { myVars = new LoadVars(); // call the load method to load my php page
I have downloaded a Countdown SWF file from the Internet. It is working fine with the Computers which have Internet Connection. But not working without Internet connection because of the following line of code in XML file:When I opened the webpage using the above code, it shows time in a typical digits:Monday, October 18, 2010 9:12:52 PM in my System -shows in Web browser like : time=1287425579How to modify the code so that I can use my System time to work with Countdown without Internet ConnectionThe following is the path from where I have downloaded the Countdown file:[URL]
I have a GUI in flex. I am getting the value of the server date from the servlet to the .mxml file. I want to show the date and time dynamically changing. How can I do that in flex?
I used the kirupa drawing tutorial to create a simple doodle application.[code]I really need a way to save the doodle created to a server and then reload it at a later date. It could either be as a file or as data that meant it could be redrawn.I've looked into exporting as a bitmap but the methods seem very complex and also slow/relatively large file sizes (it is only a simple doodle application!!!)url...but it doesn't even seem to be working on the site. I had a look at the code but couldn't really get to the bottom of how it worked.Is there no easy way to save a movieclip out as an swf file dynamically?
I'm trying to record video from the users webcam and play it back at a later date. I call
[Code]...
However, when I look at the FMS Admin Console at the streams in app/_definst_, their types are either "NetStream" or "Live". If they were being saved wouldn't they say "Stored"? After I close the application doing the recording, the "NetStream" type stream disappears, and after a while all the "Live" typed streams are gone too. Nothing is saved.
I have no idea what is happening. I don't know if it's a problem with my AS3 code not closing the recording properly or if I'm doing something else wrong, or maybe somethgin isn't right in the FMS?
I'd like to hardcode a file to periodically check its modification date. Do you have to browse for a file first using filereference.browse to check its modification date or can you hardcode a local file (with absolute path)?
I'm trying to call to a date in an external txt file (losttime.txt).The date is written as: 2012, 1, 09 in the .txt file.I've loaded the txt file and need to calculate the amount of time between that date and today.Right now, I have the date set in the lostTimeDate variable, but need it to call to the date in the txt file instead. I assume this has to do with Parsing the date, but for the life of me, cannot figure it out.Here is my code:
var myTextLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader(); myTextLoader.load(new URLRequest("losttime.txt"));[code].......
Im working on a project where files are being loaded using the URLloader in flash as3. I need to be able to find the last modified date of the file that is being loaded, unfortunately the files may not always be on the same server as the flash app, so it may not always be possible for me to add a line to the file that has the last modified date, that could be read easily in flash. I was wondering if anyone knew of a way to retreive this information, I know in air you can use URLLoader.httpResponseStatus which allows you to get the http headers and find it that way but it doesnt appear to work in flash.Id like to try to do this with out having to call on javascript or php to find it, since it would then require 2 connections per file i believe to be able to do everything I need 1 to get contents in flash, and one for either javascript or php to find the last modified date, but if I have to that seems to be the only option I can come up with.
Today is 28-05-2010, so I need to list Event 01. On 01-06-2010 I need to list Event 02. I have the basic AS3 code for listing the XML working, but I'm having trouble filtering the result.
