I've got a rather simple question about loading in an xml file at runtime in a SWF. I've found a couple different methods to load in the xml.
myXml.load("file.xml");
HTTPService object
URLStream object
What is better way to load an xml file that always has the same name and is located in the same folder as the SWF on the web server?
I created few flex components in flash using flex component kit for flash. It generates a swf and a swc file. my question is, how can i load these flash created flex component at runtime and use them.
View 1 RepliesI'm looking at a tutorial to display placemarks using a KML file on a flex application. I'm using IGN API (openscales) in flex project. The example works perfectly (http:/[url].......
<os:KML url="http://www.parisavelo.net/velib.kml"
proxy="http://openscales.org/proxy.php?url="
numZoomLevels="20"

But when I'm hosting the same kml file on my server like that :
<os:KML url="http://www.cycom.org/velib.kml"
proxy="http://openscales.org/proxy.php?url="
numZoomLevels="20"
style="{Style.getDefaultCircleStyle()}"/>
Placemarks don't show up on the map. I tried to host the kml file on different hosts but that doesn't change.
Is it possible to create a mirroring effect in Flex4 at runtime? (load picture and create a mirrored part of that image).
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to build a flex project, linking it to some RLSs. When setting up the project in Flex Builder, the corresponding "build configuration" (that I got by adding -dump-config to the compiler options) generates (among other things) a tag like this :

I have created an e-card template for a record company. Most of the text and images are dynamically loaded into Flash file so that the client can change them for each individual band. The only problem is i have some pictures that need to link to the bands website which also needs to be changed by the client. Is there any way i can load hyperlinks into the Flash file?

View 3 RepliesBased on the Kirupa Flash XML Gallery, I tried to expand it as far as I could. Right now, it loads the images, generates buttons dynamically according to how many images are in the XML que, and each image is hyperlinked. I want to load in a swf file dynamically via XML into an another empty movieclip everytime I go to a new image. In another words if I have 9 images in my gallery, each image is assigned a swf file to load into another empty movieclip.
View 1 RepliesI've seen the Loom project, but are there any alternatives that are more mature (and actively developed)? I am looking for something that would allow load-time weaving of pointcuts into existing binary code at runtime with the AVM2 runtime.
Has any work been done in this area?
I have been stuck on this for far too long. I think it's simple so I must be misunderstanding something. I want these to display across the full width of my flash app. When I shrink the width of the flash player I want a scrollbar to appear. At the moment no scroll bar is appearing.

We are using an XML file as an external configuration file for several parameters in our application (including default values for UI components and properties values of some service layer objects). The idea is to be able to load the XML configuration file before the flex application initializes any of its components. This is crucial because XML loading is processed a-synchronously in flex, which can potentially cause race-conditions in the application.
For example: the configuration file holds the endpoint URL of a web service used to obtain data from the server. The URL resides in the XML because we want to allow our users to alter the endpoint URL according to their environment. Now because the endpoint URL is retrieved only after the XML has been completely loaded, some of the application's components might be invoking operations on this web service before it is initialized with the correctendpoint.The trivial solution would have been to suspend the initialization of the application until the complete event is dispatched by the loader. But it appears that this solution is far from being trivial. I haven't found a single solution that allows me to load the XML before any other object in the application.
I'm trying, without success, to make a class to manage a XML file configuration. This class has some methods to get a XML file and return a object E4X (XML) to user (programmer).
Then I created a package:
components.datahandlers
And the class to handler XML config file:
XMLConfigHandler.as
The code, that class, is below:
package components.datahandlers{
import flash.net.URLLoader;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
import flash.xml.XMLDocument;
import flash.events.*;
import flash.errors.*;
public class XMLConfigHandler {

I have a AS3 project in Flash CS4 in which I am dynamically loading in a font whose location is passed in via XML. It works when I write in the font name (here EASTERAR.TTF). However, if I replace it with a variable, I get an invalid metadata error.
Works fine
[Embed(source='C:/fonts11/EASTERAR.TTF', fontFamily="xyz")]
var xyz:Class;
var arialEmbeddedFont:Font = new xyz();
var textFormat:TextFormat = new TextFormat();

Having got into flash about a year ago, I have a fairly good understanding of as3, but I have never had any reason to learn as2. For an upcoming project, we were looking to use Scaleform GFx, with the UDK. (Unreal Development Kit) Trouble is, Scaleform only supports as2. From what I've been told, as3 is supposed to be better in just about every way, so I really don't want to learn a language that?s most likely on the way out, if I have any other options.
Is there any converters out there, that can convert script from as3 to as2? Or another workaround possibility, since flash communicates with the UDK by means of just calling a function, could I create an as2 file that could dynamically load an as3 file?
I want to use actionscript 3 to create mxml(flex 4) controls dynamically and automatically taking care of layout. For example, if I want to put 6 buttons and a s:label in a layout container by just specifying the positioning of the container and not the locations of individual controls.

View 2 RepliesI am trying to load a movie into flash using an asp file to get the names of the url. the start will be "WEB_ADDRESS" and then it will add a the end using script.
Code:
loadMovie("WEB_ADDRESS" + _root.myVars.fileName + [i], "image"+ [i])
it is looking into the ASP file and trying to fine fileName which is the problem. the filename has a number after it, in this case it is the variable [i] but it is returning this
Code:
Error opening URL
'BLAH_BLAH_BLAHfileName=undefined0'
the Blah is the start of the address which you dont need to know about but the undefined with the number after it should be what it is loading. undefined0 should be "fileName0".
is there any way of making it think the _root.myVars.fileName + [i] is all one name?
I'm currently making an animation which will eventually exceed the 16,000 frame limit (don't ask haha), so, short of making two movies and having to just start up the next one, what is the code for loading a movie? I presume they need to be in the same directory? So basically all I want is on the last frame of the movie the code executes and the second movie file opens up and starts. I guess I'd want the current movie to close, too.
