Is there a way to load the variable into the flash file?URLtest.php?var="list.xml"Inside PHPget posted variableload flash file and load the var into the actionscriptFlash embeded on page or on a redirect pageActionscript uses variable which was originally embedded in the URL
View 3 RepliesDoes AS3 have a Class that can read in lines from a .txt file and assign values to variables. For example, say I have a Player class with three int variables health, armor and damage. I also have a corresponding player.txt file that holds the variables.
health = 3
armor = 4
damage = 5
What code can i use to assign these variables their correct values in Flash.IMPORTANT It must be a txt file. XML is not applicable.
I have a SWF reading a XML for text and stuff. I'm trying to make the SWF reading a XML whith the same name of the SWF, even if I change the SWF name. Is that possible? Wow!... In other words: I want to duplicate the SWF (renaming it, lets say, to MyDuplicate.swf) but I want the new one to read another XML (called MyDuplicate.xml). It means that the inside as3 code must have a variable name for the XML to load depending on the swf actual name... It may sound odd but it's perfect if you need to multiply your swf for an undefined number of copys whithin an application.

View 2 RepliesI need to read a large CSV file (8-15 MB) and generate a LineChart in Flex AIR. Since Chart need data in structurd format like XML. When I read CSV and convert it to XML object 8 MB file size become 24 MB XML object and not able to graph.
Best solution is to read Line by line and read only part of data. How can I acheive this in Flex AIR ? Is it possible to read line by line in Flex.
Otherwise what are the best ways to draw a graph in FLEX using large data.
On this moment I have a menu and six windows, every item on the menu has his own window. What I would like to do is that when the item 'home' is viewable and the visitor has pressed on another item, the window of 'home' goes away and the item were is clicked on comes up.
But how can I do that the best?I think I must give every window a variable so when there is pressed on a item flash will go search for the window that is shown and let that one play the animation to go away, so the window that is shown must have variable '1' all the others are '0' and when pressed on a item flash search for '1'...But how do I do all this, and is this a good way of working??
I have already set a variable in my document class "Main.as". I am now trying to access that variable and read its value from a different Class and Function, take that value and email it. For example in my "Main.as" file I have this function:
public var _myVar:String;
function create() {
_myVar = "hello";
}
Now from my other class "EmailtoFriend.as" I have a new function to try and get the value of that pre set variable:
function getVar() {
trace(_myVar);
}
Why will it not output "hello"? Instead I get an error saying: Access of undefined property _myVar.
I am wondering if it is possible to use random file access for reading and writing data to file in Actionscipt 3.0 similar to that what is in Visual Basic?
View 1 RepliesI turn to you for help, dear sweet Kirupa Forumites. First, let me explain the problem: I have a flash file reading an external text file for the content. Everything works perfectly for nearly everyone - you click a menu button, and the content text comes up fine. However, a couple of people have found that the text shows up as "undefined". I have checked the player versions of the people where it doesn't work, and it is the same as for those where it does work, so that ain't the problem.
I don't understand why it works perfectly for nearly everyone, but a small number of people have this "undefined" text problem. It seems to be a problem with loading the external text file, but I don't know why. I have a main flash movie, and load the text in the first frame, using the following:
var my_content = new LoadVars();
my_content.load("content.txt");
my_content.onLoad = function(success){
if (success){
[Code]...
I then have a couple of dynamic text boxes in the main movie - one called ErrorText (for displaying an error message to the user) and one called ContentText (for displaying the content). I use an external menu swf which jumps to a specific frame in the main movie, depending on which button is clicked. Actionscript on the main movie frame for the first button does the following, with the other frames similarly configured:
ContentText.htmlText = my_content.content1;
stop();
My external text file is properly configured (content1=blah blah&content2=other blah blah) etc.
Does anyone have any advice on how I can solve this particular weird problem??
I have the input textfield with instance name vIn, and the variable _vIn. (The textfield is empty.)[code]i have five other variable/textfield pairs were this works ok. I don't get why this pair doesn't work also, my textfields won't accept the subtraction operator, - , even though they're all set to vIn.restrict = "0123456789.-";It doesn't even work in the output textfields were there's no restriction (Negative results are displayed positive)
View 3 RepliesI would like to have two applications communicate with each other. One app is a Flash running the browser and the other one is another app of ours that is distributed as *.exe file. We need the C/C++ application to read some info out of the SOL file, that is written by the Flash app.
Any other mean that can be used to read the SOL file from a C/C++ application? How often is the format of the SOL file being changed ?
What I have so far...sure there is a better way to do this and as I learn AS3 I will figure it out. The following is what I put together where I now have three instances of the segmented thumbnail button that shows an image when cliked on. What I figure out why it only reads the one xml file.
My XML files: images, images_a, images_b
<images><image full="images/full/image1.jpg" thumb="images/thumb/image1.jpg" /> <image full="images/full/image2.jpg" thumb="images/thumb/image2.jpg" /> <image

I'm trying to read a url from an xml file and attach an onRelease event to a movieclip that opens the url when clicked.
Code:
var thelink = getValue(findNode(i, "link")).toString();
var thelink2 = "../news/Press Releases/testpdf.pdf";
if (thelink <> "")
{
tempMC.bat.onRelease=function(){ getURL(thelink); }
}
If I use the "thelink" variable as input to the getURL function, I get a "Page not found" error.If I use the "thelink2", it works as expected.When I look in the debugger, "thelink" and "thelink2" are identical!Here is the code for the findNode function. I've had no problems before with this code, so I don't think the problem is there.
Code:
function findNode(node, nodeName)
{
if (node.nodeName==nodeName)

I was wondering if there was a way to have a flash file read its own flash name and use it as a variable within that swf. ie, 05.swf. I would want 05 to be a variable with the page.
View 2 RepliesI have a couple variables coming from PHP. So for example if my PHP looks like this:
PHP Code:
$qry = "Select * from memory";
$result = mysql_query($qry);
echo "memory=";
while($resultset = mysql_fetch_array($result)){
echo $resultset['name'].";".$resultset['memory'].",";
For this the output from the PHP file would look like this:
memory=Person2;Memory2,Person1;Memory1,
So basically the comma represents a new record in the database. So basically in my text field I'd like the following result to happen:
Memory: Memory2
From: Person2
Memory: Memory1
From: Person1
So take the first record and display it like I've shown and then have a couple break lines (not sure how to accomplish this either) and display the next record that was separated by the comma.I have the following AS code which works for one variable but I have more then one like above:
ActionScript Code:
files = new Array();
lv = new LoadVars();
lv.onLoad = function() {
[code]....
i'm trying to read a txt file (well actually, the file has a different extension but it's a simple txt file). i have a path in that file that points to a jpg that i want to load. if that path has a plus sign (+) in it, the actionscript reads it as a space!

View 1 RepliesI am making a random name chooser for a class (using an array to read from 28 names). I was wondering if it is possible for flash to read an array from a notepad file. [code]Is there a way to make it so that instead of having to edit the Fla file to edit the names, I can just make a notepad file with the array and _root.NumberOfStudents variable so that it can be edited from year to year easily?

I have an AIR app im currently developing. And often I am reading 150+MB CSV files. To load the entire file takes a long time, and is quite a memory hog. Im currently loading the entire thing, but the software often only needs part of it, but then will need other parts later.he files are about 1.7Mill lines long, so what I am trying to do, is read the file, but just load every 1000th line. then load all the lines of just the part the person is looking at. But when the look at a different part, I need to load that part in full.
View 1 RepliesQuick question. Ofcourse I know that you can read flash variables from a text file, which is formatted like: @var1=firstVariable@var2=secondVariable and so on.But is there a way to read normal text out of a textfile? Is it through the bytearray class?
