Loading External Text That's Not A Variable

Loading External Text To Variable
code: loadText = new LoadVars();
i = int(Math.random()*20+1);
loadText.load(i+".txt");
j = 0;
//creating the loadVarsText function
loadText.onLoad = function() {
scroller.htmlText = this.myText;
j = this.answer;
};

this code above will load random questions (named q1.txt - q20.txt) into the text area. the questions are identified by the variable "myText". also in the text files are the answers. the answers are identified by the variable "answers". a sample of the text file q1.txt is as below:

code: myText=
<font face="Verdana" size="10" color="#FF0000">
<b>Digestion</b></font><font face="Verdana" size="10">
Which of the following are enzymes found in the stomach? <br> 1) Amylase 2) Maltase <br> 3) Pepsin 4) Sucrase</font>
answer=3

i am able to successfully load myText into the text area ("scroller"). however, i am not able to assign the "answer" to the local variable "j". (which i will use later on for quiz answer checking).

is there anyway i am able to load the answer into variable j?

can someone tell me how am i supposed to compare the variable j? what i mean is "j" is either 1/2/3/4. do i type the code as below? code: if (j==="1") {some animation}

thanks a bunch!

Loading External Text That's Not A Variable
Hi All. This is my first post. I'm working on a project that involves pulling a number from a text file on a remote server. I am familiar with the intricacies of loadVars and loadVariables, but in this particular case, the text file only contains a number. It is not preceeded by a variable name or anything like that. It is just: 40. Is there a way to pull this into flash without a variable name so I can display it in a dynamic text field?

Thanks,
Haig

Loading External Text Without Variable Name In Text File
i need to be able to load text from a file and put it in a dynamic text box but i cannot modify the text file to put in a variable name

ie the text file cannot contain variablename=1234
but rather must simply contain 1234

Is it possible to load some text without a variable name indicated in the file using flash mx 2004 and, if so, how would one do this?

Undefined Variable Loading External Text
Still climbing the mountain learning AS; no doubt there is a simple answer to this question (I have tried unsuccessfully to find it in extant threads as well as between my ears).

Trying to augment the Kirupa tutorial "ActionScript Text Animation" (http://www.kirupa.com/developer/acti..._animation.htm)
to take an external text file. When I switch out the line:
text = "There is only one..."
with:
myLoadVar = new LoadVars ();
myLoadVar.load("davetextdoc.txt")
myLoadVar.onLoad = function (success){
if (success == true) {
output.variable = "text"
output.text=myLoadVar.text;
}
}
I get the word "undefined" repeatedly loading itself. The text file is properly formatted(text=dave's text here...) I've tried untold permutations to self-solve. Help is appreciated.

[f8] Loading A External Jpg Using A Variable?

However, I cannot seem to get the syntax correct is AS2.0 - I keep getting operand errors.

Here's what I have..

What I want is if the value fals_num = 01 then import image 01, etc - I am controlling this variable within a data.txt file. Can anyone tell me where I'm going wrong?

Thanks.

Loading An External Variable
Hello all,

I am having a little difficulty loading an external variable into my flash movie.

The principle of the movie is to load some XML data and display expected data in loop. This all works fine and as it should.

My problem starts when I remove the internal variable used for testing and try and insert the same variable externally, as this will be changing depending upon the teams displays. I have tried adding in the variable like

<param name="flashVars" value="teamName=teamA" />
and
<param name="movie" value="flash/plasma.swf?teamName=teamA" />

And then tried using a variety of methods in AS3 to display the name. Just getting it to trace "teamA" would be all I need, but it is having none of it.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Kind Regards

Tim

Loading An External Variable Into A ListBox
When I use the following Action Script to pull the variable 'leaguename', which has the value "flashtest", from my ASP page and insert the value into my ListBox called 'playerlist', the text '_level0.leaguename' is written in the ListBox instead of 'flashtest'.

myData = new LoadVars();
myData.onLoad = function() {
leaguename.text = this.leaguename;
};
myData.load("livedraftvar.asp");

playerlist.addItem(leaguename);


The output from my ASP page is: &leaguename=flashtest&

What am I doing wrong? Everything looks right to me.

External Swf Loading A Variable From The Swf That Calls It?
I'd like to know how to access a variable from within an external swf that has been passed in the URL upon calling the external swf itself.
For example, I could pass a variable to a external.swf as follows:

this.createEmptyMovieClip(“mExternalSWF�,this.getNextHighestDepth());
var mlSWFLoader:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
mlSWFLoader.loadClip(“external.swf?varToExt=20�, mExternalSWF);

How do I load varToExt from within external.swf?
Thanks!

FMX-loading External Variable Into Array
Hi!
here it goes...

how can you load an external variable (let's say in a text file) into an array in flash?

let's assume my text file says something like this:

names=james,john,patrick, jessica, veronica, patty

First of all..what is the syntax for such a list...can it be done in one variable?

The other thing is...how do you assign those values into an array:
nameList=[james,patrick, jessica,...]

(So how would I split that variable into different array indexes?)

the other question related to this is...what if the names come with phones?

I guess that all this would make more sense with an asp and a database file.

I'm just wondering if there is a more simple way to do this.

Any suggestions welcome. thanks!!

Loading External Variable From A File
Hi, I´m having a problem that is driving me crazy, the thing is that I have made a Movie that loads variables from diferent files, the files are inside some subfolders, I´m sure that the targeting is correct and that the script works ´coz when I use it on my pc it works great, the problem appears when I upload it to an internet server and I want to see it.The movies loads perfectly but the external text variables doesn´t.

I´m using a LoadVars() object and it´s methods to load the data.
the folders on the server are the same as in my PC.

please, ANY suggestions will be appreciated.

the URL is:
http://polacofede.en.eresmas.com
(you will see that the data is not loading when you select a "final product button" or when you select an item under "technology" )




(I know that it´s quite awful and choppy but I wanted to exercise some AS)
don´t select : voodoo5, voodoo3, voodoo4, About, ´coz they aren´t uploaded yet.

Loading A Single Variable From An External File
Hello,

I have a question on loading Variables. I have a database-similar ( large ) File
with many thousands of variables stored in it ( using the typical flash format ).
( company=Macromedia&address=600 .. and so on ). Is it possible to read only
a couple of the variables without loading the whole file( because it is really big,
and certainly would take a long time to load )? I think i need something like the
Java FileInputStream. ( Maybe using XML format ? )
[I also believe that i could solve this problem if i would be able to launch a java
Application from the swf, is this possible? ]

thank you for any help

Loading Variable From External File Not Working
Hi
I'm having trouble with this script. I have an external text file, from which all of the text on the page is loaded. I also have a series of thumbnails, but I need to have different numbers on each page, so I figured I'd put the number of thumbnails into the text file too and then run a loop to create the thumbnails and buttons dynamically.
The loop works fine, until I try to use the value I have loaded from the text file. I think it is something to do with it being in a separate function, but I have tried making it _global.counter, I have tried putting the whole for() loop inside the myData.onLoad function. Basically, I have tried everything I can think of and still the loop does not run when the counter value is specified externally.
Please help!!!!
Thanks


PHP Code:



myData = new LoadVars();
myData.load("blurb.txt");

//load external text
myData.onLoad = function(){
    sectorName.html = true;

Loading A Variable Number Of External Jpgs
I'm trying to brainstorm a way to have flash preload a slideshow with a variable number of images in a directory -- there could be 1 image, or 100 images -- shouldn't matter.

Is there a way for flash to 'count' the number of images in a directory, then use that number for a loadMovie() loop?

Or, can it detect when an imaged doesn't exist and stop the loading a the 'image doesn't exist' point?

Any quick code samples would be great.

Thanks!

Load External Text Into Variable? (not For Display In Text Box)
Hello,

I've having a hard time getting this to work, and I hope someone can help. I'm trying to load a value from an external text file into a variable named Q1A. Here's my text file:

&A1=correct

Basically, I'm placing quiz questions, four possible answers and whether the answers are correct/incorrect all in a text file. I'd like to make a 'submit' button that checks whether the answer is correct/incorrect (based on what's been defined in the text file). This lets me use the TXT to update all questions/answers, and it also lets me vary which statement (1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th) will be the correct answer.

I can load external text into text fields just fine, but how do I use loadvars to define the value of a variable that I'd like to test? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Loading External Txt File And Calculating The Size Of The Variable
I made a cd-rom which loads external text-files. This works fine.
Now I need to make (starting from the cd-rom fla-file) a popup window for a website. I know these are two differtent media and it's not an ideal way of working, but that's the way it is...
The problem is that the scrollbar linked to the textfield doesn't always appear.
I let the scrollbar appear or disappear in this way;

if (textmain.maxscroll eq textmain.scroll) {
setProperty("_root.scrollbalk", _visible, false);
}
if (textmain.maxscroll ne textmain.scroll) {
setProperty("_root.scrollbalk", _visible, true);
}
stop();

The problem is that the variable textmain isn't (completely) loaded at the time of this script. Is there a way to check howmany bytes are loaded from a variable in an external textfile? (eg. variable textmain in file txt/file.txt)

Loading External Variables Dynamically, With Flash Detecting Variable Changes?
I'm trying to make a flash file which starts loading and playing a movie when an external variable is changed. So far I have come to this solution, but it doesn't work in IE, only Firefox.

Sorry about some of the norwegian variable names...

Code:
extVariabler = new LoadVars();
extVariabler.onLoad = function() {
tekstBoks.text = this.myVariable;
};

//Ready to start loading first time:
startVarSjekk = true;

//Every 1 second see if the variable file is ready loaded,
//and load it again if it is:
intervallSek = setInterval(sjekkVar, 1000);
function sjekkVar() {

if (startVarSjekk == true) {
startVarSjekk = false;
extVariabler.load("variabler.txt");
antallSjekk++;
trace("Variables are loading...");

} else if (extVariabler.loaded) {
startVarSjekk = true;
trace("Variables loaded!");
}
}
The problem here is that IE puts my variable file in its temporary internet files. So even if the AC is set to load the variables several times, IE just uses its temp file.

What I want is to make changes on the server and se the result happen client side in a flash file without reloading the browser.

External Text Variable
Hi,

I have two text fields that are displaying dynamic text when a function is called. The thing is that when I click a button it does not always have two variables to display. Some have two some only have one variable.

My function is this

function buttonRollover(me) {
_root.state = eval(me+"_name");
_root.evotes = eval(me+"_evotes");
}

So my issue is that sometimes evotes may not be a variable I need for a specific button rollover but state does have a variable specified.

I understand what is going on, flash does not see a variable present so it fails by displaying undefined. What I would like, though, is to have nothing appear if there is no variable present. Can this be done, can a dynamic text box display nothing if there is no variable defined for it?

Thanks

Changing External Text To Same Variable
I am creating a course which has several lessons. The top frame of the web course is a flash movie that will show the name of the current lesson.

I want to use one flash movie and possibly one text file to swap in the correct lesson name. In other words, I will have a file which looks like this

lesson1 = this is lesson 1&lesson2=this is lesson 2 . . . and so on

What is the most appropriate way to do this?
I know how to use loadVariables to get text into a movie but that's a one-to-one relationship.

Combining External SWF Loading With Dynamically Loading Text Tutorial
I am trying to combine the external SWF loading tutorial with the dynamic text loading (via XML and CSS) tutorial.

Everything loads fine, except the stylesheet is not applied to the text. It must have something to do with the swf being externally loaded, correct?

Any ideas how to fix this?

Here is the code for Frame 1 of the externally loaded swf.


Code:
//init TextArea component
myText.html = true;
myText.wordWrap = true;
myText.multiline = true;
myText.label.condenseWhite=true;

//load css
kungFuStyle = new TextField.StyleSheet();
kungFuStyle.load("example.css");
myText.styleSheet = kungFuStyle;

//load in XML
kungFuContent = new XML();
kungFuContent.ignoreWhite = true;
kungFuContent.load("example.xml");
kungFuContent.onLoad = function(success)
{
if(success)
{
myText.text = kungFuContent;
}
}

Help Problems Loading External Text And Loading The Movie Into The Explorer
Hola a todos!

I have some troubles with my movies. I'll explain.
(Sorry for my poor English - I'm Spanish!)
I'm developing a website for a Real State Agency in Spain. My idea is make it enterely with Flash, but It's the first time I face Flash. I've found in the tutorials of kirupa.com the greatest help! But, still that, I need more help!

My first problem comes when loading the .swf into the explorer. I made a simple .html file that calls the .swf file to be loaded. The explorer says it's loaded, but I have to press the "Reload" button to see the movie. Can you say me why?!!!!

My second problem... well. I'll need a few minuts to explain it!

I have created a main scene. Inside the main scene I load the movies of the different sections of the site. This new movies loaded onto the main movie contain texts from external .txt files. There's no problem with the texts that are just a few words, as in the section "Acerca de". But when I need a bar to show the whole text I find that the bar doesn't work in the first time that the movie is loaded, and you have to click again in the section to access the whole text, I mean, to make the bar work. Have I explain myself?

Well. I think you should visit the site to see my problems.
Is this: http://www.wk-inmobiliaria.com/FLASH

This website is, of course, incomplete. I'm still working on it.

Could someone help me????

---- Help me Obi Wan: You're my only hope!!!!

Thanks a Lot.

GetURL Using Variable From External Text File
Hi,
I am sure this is simple but cant find answer anywhere -
I am using getURL to auto load an asp page after anim plays, I want to be able to edit the url in an external text file without having to edit the FLA file.

I am using :

loadVariables("getURL.txt", 0, "GET");
getURL(getURL, "_self");

where 'getURL.txt' contians the address I want to load

Do I need to assign the URL a value in the txt file? and reference this in the getURL command? I have tried everything but to be honest I am not a programmer and am at the limit of my basic action script experience.

Any help much appreciated.

Thanks,
Dave.

Loadmovie According To External Variable From A Text File
dear all,

i will tell you what exactly i am trying to do.
i am making a weather report in flash.
i used an external text file for the temperature levels.so when ever i edit the text file,the flash will change automatically.I used loadvariable("textfile.txt," "")
and is working perfectly.

now,

i need to show rain,sunny,cloudy day animation(like BBC weather).so i used a textfile contaning a variable called day.


sunnyday
rainyday
cloudyday


so,if i type day=sunnyday,the small animation of sun will load into the main movie.

and if i change the variable day=rainyday,the rain animation should load.


i hope you get the idea....

i tried this way and its not working...code is here

loadvariable("climate.txt," "")

if(day = "sunnyday"){

loadmovie("sunny.swf",1)

}else if (day = "rainyday"){

loadmovie("rainy.swf",1)
}else if (day = cloudyday){

loadmovie("cloudy.swf",1)
}


i am not getting the result...whyyyyy???????

i sincerely hope you guys can help me,
am trying this for few days...

GotoAndPlay(variable) From External Text File
Hi, I am having trouble getting gotoAndPlay(variable) to work from a button within a movie clip, using a value loaded from an external text file at _root level;

loadVariables("aug05.txt","/");

The external text file values are a calendar of events and reference frames.

&e16=<b><font color="#FF6600">Event A
&f16=ea

&e17=<b><font color="#FFFF00">Event B
&f17=eb

I'm using 31 instances of movie clip "event" to display the variable monthly calendar of events, in each instance, defining values accordingly eg. for the 16th of that month, I have the following;

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
evnt=_root.e16;
frm=_root.f16;
}

The button within this movie clip is supposed to take you to the frame for that event;

on (release) {
_root.gotoAndPlay(frm);
}

but doesn't seem to recognise the "frm" variable at the button action level (though it does pass the variable "evnt" successfully to the dynamic text field within the button).

I've tried everything I could find online to no avail. Is it even possible?

JSFL: External Variable/Clipboard Text
I'm working on creating an AutoHotKey script and JSFL script to assign an instance name for the selected object on the stage. (I HATE that there isn't a shortcut to create an instance name).

Does anybody know if there is a way to grab text from the clipboard (or even a variable straight from AutoHotKey)? The JSFL I'm using right now is:

ActionScript Code:
for(i in  fl.getDocumentDOM().selection){
    fl.getDocumentDOM().selection[i].name = ;
}

Loading Variable Text
I've got this variable in a external txt file which I use to load images and text from like:

&015title=Project1

the "015" part is the name of a particular page, so it changes all the time

Obviously there are other like:

&016title=Project2
&017title=Project3
&018title=Project4

Now I'm trying to put them into a dynamic text. The variables are:

projectnummer = "015";
title_text = [projectnummer+"title"];

The title_text dynamic text variable literaly writes "015title"
and not the $015title=bla part from the external txt file.

Question: How is the title_text = [projectnummer+"title"]; code supposed to be written in order to let it load the variable 015title from the external txt file?

Loading Text WITHOUT A Variable Name?
Just when you thought Flash was so powerful - sometimes ya can't figure out how to do the SIMPLIEST of things!

I'm trying to build a program that will be able to read a SIMPLE text file (as in it literally has only a name in it - ie. MrGameShow - and nothing else).

Can someone tell me if and how the easiest way to import this would be? I can't add anything to the text file FYI - has to read it as plain text.

Thanks in Advance!

Loading A Variable From Text
Hi All

Been away from flash for a while, And have looked at tutorials but i cannot get this to work.

I have built a gallery, which i would like to be able to update without editing the .fla.

I have built the gallery, and will be using 3 variables to control the loading of pictures, Everything works fine as it is, but it is with set values that are entered into the movie, at the moment there are 30 pictures.

I would like to be able to change the variable that relates to the total number of pictures, which at the moment is 30. I have tried :-


Code:
prevVar=new LoadVars();
prevVar.load("galleryvar.txt");
trace(prevVar.myVar)

Code:
myVar=30


the trace returns "undefined" I know I am doing something wrong, just cant find out what, Help!!

External Text In External Swf Not Loading In Main Swf
Hi. I'm kind of new to Flash, and am trying to make external text load into an external swf which is loaded into my main swf.

What I have is a swf file where I have buttons that load external text. I then loaded this swf into another main.swf and now the external text will not load. The code i have in the external.swf to load external text is this


but4272005.onRelease=function(){
loadVariablesNum ("4272005.txt","0");
}
but4282005.onRelease=function(){
loadVariablesNum ("4282005.txt","0");
}
but532005.onRelease=function(){
loadVariablesNum ("532005.txt","0");
}


This swf works by itself, but when i load it into the main.swf it doesn't.
I'm sure it has something to do with the "0", but I'm not sure what to put there to make it load correctly in the main swf.

The dynamic textbox i'm trying to load into is named "index_txt". The name of the loader in the main.swf is named "content". Any help would be appreciated.

Loading HTML Variable In Text Box
I am working on a project where I am loading variables into a text box from a .txt file..like this:

In the time line I am using and action
loadVariables ("news.txt", "");

In the news.txt file I have
textfield=the body of the text goes here

I have the Dynamic Text box named textfield.

The problem is the client wants to bold some of the text and hyperlink from one word..etc. I know I can do this by selecting the HTML radio box in Flash. But I am not sure how to load the text. Should I load an HTML file?

In the text file what do I put...textfield=news.html? YOUR HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED.

Loading From A .txt File In A Text Variable....
hi,
I searched the forum for a while and I also read the help (F1) of cause......
My problem: I load a variable with loadVariables("filename.txt",""); The content of filename.txt is myText= a long multiline text with many types like ó or é or ñ
In my .fla I put an dynamic text field and put in the var. field myText
Ok, the text appears but non of ó or á or ñ characters do appear (instead appears something strange...) and the text ends as soon as there is a & (well, of cause I can put an and instead of &, but I would like to use &). How should I do?
thank you for helping.....

Loading A Text File Off A Variable...
Just as the title says... I'd like to load specific content (other variables) from external text files.

loadVariablesNum("setup.txt",0);

I use this method to load in the text files hardcoded. I was wondering if it was possilbe to change the "setup.txt" to be the value of a variable... obviously I have tried simply substituting it for "myVarialbe" but that doesn't seem to work... is there a way?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thankyou.

Help With Loading A Variable From A Text File
I've only been coding in flash for a couple of days, so I'm sure this is an easy fix. I've been working on a solution for a flash ad system on my university's current student site. Essentially the file loads a number of movie files into one file so that the people on the backend making the flash ads don't have to make a new swf everytime the ads change. Alright so lets get to my troubles.

This actionscript is located on the first and only frame of the movie:


ActionScript Code:
loadVariables("tads.txt","0");
ads = Number(ads);
i = 1;
holder.loadMovie("movie_1.swf");

As you can see I am attempting to load a variable from the text file tads.txt This text file contains the following text ("ads=5") Alright so that variable is imported as a string and needs to be converted to a number. Line two does this. Then the last two lines have to do with what the current ad is and loading the actual swf's.

Alright this next script is from the forward button (which advances the swf to the next ad):

ActionScript Code:
on (release) {
    if (i == ads) {
        i = ads;
    } else {
        i = i+1;
    }
}
on (release) {
    currentMovie = ["movie_"+i+".swf"];
    holder.loadMovie(currentMovie);
}

on (release) {
    with (pBar) {
        _xscale += (i/ads) * 200;
}
}
So basically the first portion of the script checks the current movie number (the variable i) against the variable that I am loading. If they equal eachother then they simply equal eachother. If not 1 is added to i and the next ad is displayed.

My problem is that once I get to the 5th movie the ads variable should keep the next ad from displaying. Unfortunately it doesn't work. I assume that it must by how I am loading the variable, but it could be something else too.
