I remember darkly that the XML class in AS3 would throw an exception if you tried to give it data in it's constructor that was not a valid XML string. But now I got a case where the XML happily takes every kind of data no matter it's valid XML or not...
var xml:XML;
try
{[code]...
... doesn't throw any exception. qname seems not to be null. WTH?
I have a problem with creating instances from classes created from embedded data taken from an external .swf which has loaded into its library various images exported to ActionScript as BitmapData.What confounds me is that, of 22 images that I'm loading, 14 of them work fine and can be instantiated and displayed to the screen in a test program. The rest of them throw Error #2136, "The SWF file contains invalid data."I'm using Flash CS4 with Flex 3.4.

Attached is a .zip of a few files:
library_tester.fla - contains the code for testing the library
Assets/GridGame/grid_Library.fla - contains the library
[code]....
Right now, the code in library_tester hits the error when it attempts to create Logo after creating two other variables set onto the stage.
I am using spring exception translator to wrap java exception into flex exception.
eg
public void testException()throws Exception{
throw new Exception("my exception");
}
But for some reason, I am getting IllegalAccessError. The code sections are entering the testException and the Translator class.

I've been fighting with this backwards and forwards and haven't identified the problem:I have three frames that I want the user to page through with forward/backward buttons. Three frames means 4 buttons, two forward buttons and two back buttons:[code]What it does is, the lets m press the first Next button and does go to the second frame, but it throws the following error and the other buttons don't work:[code]Why can't I shake this thing? Is there a better way altogether?

I am getting runtime error #2136 'The SWF file at %1 contains invalid data' (I know, %1 is a reference to the file producing the error) All I did was change some button graphics to movie clip types and have solved all the type mismatch and other syntax errors. This is a file I have been working on and posting about. This is getting annoying. What would be causing this type of error??
View 8 RepliesI am trying to make a game like the escape game you might have seen on the internet. I have got all the movement pretty much sorted its just I cannot get the game to restart. I am relatively new the AS3 so bear with me on this. I have a Main class, an enemy class, a player class and a button class. The button class creates the restart button and from the main class, when certain conditions are met, an event listener is added to this button instance to say "on click... do this...". I do not no what to put to make it reset the game however. I have tried to clear all the objects when the game is over but I cannot get the game to restart on click. I figured if I can just add a new Main class instance then the game would be reset but I cannot seem to do it...
Main.as
package Game{
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.display.Stage;
import flash.events.*;
import flash.utils.Timer;
import flash.text.TextField;

This is where I figured I needed to create a new instance of the main class but it just won't work. It comes up with an invalid data error in the output panel. By this point in the program, practically every object has been removed from the stage and display list and the game is over and is ready to be reset...
I have two classes. One is my Document Class, and another extends my Document Class. It doesn't work, and gives me this error "Error #2136: The SWF file MyGame.swf contains invalid data."

Once I realized I could not restart the game when finished playing, I thought I should create a new instance of the main class (DocumentClass) to launch it again.The problem is that, by doing so, I get Error #2136,"The SWF file contains invalid data". What happens?

I'm creating a small app to run from CD-Rom/local installation that will use multiple shared objects for data storage. To ensure proper saving without surprising the user with a permissions dialog unexpectedly, I'd like to request unlimited data storage on first time app launch - Joey Lott shows how to do this in the Actionscript Cookbook... request=mySO.flush(1024 * 500);
My question is,Can I perform this permissions request with the user a single time with a generic app SO in global fashion, so that the permissions would be set for any SOs created during the use of the product (all written to same SO directory),or do I have to request
permissions for each and every SO created? Since the latter would be unacceptable from a UE standpoint, that means stuffing all app data into a single SO which doesn't seem so great from a data config perspective...

I have some dynamically created movieclips.
Within each clip, I have a combo box and a close button. When the user clicks the clsoe button, it runs a function that removes all the event listeners for the close button and combo box, and removes the parent clip from stage. I also want to make the parent clip null, and this is where I get an error. I'm not sure how to tell Flash "make the parent of the close button clip = null.[code]...
I'm using a loader for people to use to upload their own images for a background, and I want it to remember the image the next time they come to the page, so is there any way to save the loader data in a shared object? I haven't tried just using something like

sharedObject.data.dataName=loader
because I assume it doesn't work that way.

I've got a loader that I put an event listener on for Event.COMPLETE. I then add it as child of the stage and call the load method. The swf it's loading appears on the stage, but the Event.COMPLETE listener is never called. I can attach a MouseEvent.CLICK event to the loader and that works just fine.

View 1 RepliesI need to create a small dice game in Flash. The random number generator is external and I have to create a 3D realistic dice animation with that outcome. I'm using Away3D engine and JigLib for physics. So far the best idea I've had is to do many simulations and create a list of outcomes and their corresponding input parameters (initial position, initial orientation and the forces added to the RigidBody). This is not working so well. Sometimes for the same parameters the outcome is different. What is the best way to do this?
