Problems Loading External Data
I've got two problems.. Please bear with me as it's kind of my first time using flash... ^.^;
1. I need to load some text from an external txt file, but it doesn't seem to work quite right.
In a test (this is for a project, and since it's inundated with things I've been using test files before trying code in the main file), I've set up a dynamic text box, multiline, named it 'vampinfo'. Then I wrote this action script, put it on the stage, and it says this:
loadVariables("vamp_info.txt", vampinfo, "GET");
Obviously supposed to read in info from the file 'vamp_info.txt'.
I also set the text box to have a black border.
When I test the movie, the black border flashes quickly, but no text ever shows up, and the output gives me this:
Error opening URL "file:///G|/vamp_info.txt?my%5Fmcl=%5Bobject+Object%5D"
each time it loops the movie. I'm not sure if it's having problems because of code, or if it's having problems reading from my flash drive. It's a small movie, so I haven't had to send it to the desktop to work from it, like the main project. But then again, it didn't work when altered for the project and that was all on the main drive...
On the other hand, might it be because i haven't figured out how to pull out the information...? I mean, in the next example for this, since it's a movie clip, it's got lines like these: artist = artistdatamc.artist1
since the text file has lines like &artist1=Yaddda Yadda Yadda. The Vamp. text has a &name= lsjfldskj line...
Also, if a file is in another folder, how do you write the path for that...? ^.^;;; (deeply embarrassed) The project has most of the text files ordered into different folders for organisation, so... (the files referenced so far are all in the root, of course. :P But for later...)
Oh, also, we (it's a group project) asked another professor for help, and while she suggested using this:
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("artistdatamc", _root.getNextHighestDepth());
loadVariables("data2.txt", artistdatamc);
artist = artistdatamc.artist1
artist = artistdatamc.artist2
artist = artistdatamc.artist3
artist = artistdatamc.artist4
But that hasn't worked in the main project, either.
2. The other item I'm having trouble with is getting an external swf to load into a movie clip. There will be a little scrolling line of thumbnails, but they're different based on which section you're in, so yeah.
We tried this, but of course, it didn't seem to do anything:
createClassObject(mx.controls.Loader, "loader", 5);
loader.contentPath = "screenslider_interactive.swf";
Thanks in advance, and sorry for these probably being pretty elementary, or something. Just got stuck being 'lead programmer' for the group before they decided what language to use... ^.^;;;

Loading External Data
on (release) {
_root.holdermc.loadMovie("mov1.swf");
}
As you can see.... I am loading an external swf into my movie clip instance holdermc. Is it important to unload this mov1.swf before loading another external file into the holdermc? It seems as though everything is working fine without unloading the external swf. Although I'm wondering if after I load a new movie clip into the holdermc if the previously loaded clip still remains behind the presently loaded clip. If this is the case... after loading multiple movie clips the website could require alot of memory.
Just wanted to know if I should unload the external swf after loading it, or if it was not necessary.
Thanx,

External Data Loading
I've found myself with the need to create a myspace style music player. When users visit a bands page the bands songs should be retrieved from the database and loaded.
What is the easiest way to do this, there is a variable, $uid, on the profile page that can be used to find the tracks needed. But what is the best way to get them into flash. Users will probably have three or four tracks so the data might be a little large.
Thanks in advance

Loading External SWF Data
Hi,
I have written a script to load an external swf. That swf loads many images from its own loader. I'd like to be able to access its loading process. I have written these lines to do that but it gives me loading completed after loading the swf file not its data:
ActionScript Code:
var loader:Loader =new Loader();
var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest("MyFile.swf")
//the red loader
var outLine:Sprite= new Sprite();
var inLine:Sprite= new Sprite();
var g:int=0;
var obj:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
loader.load(req);
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.OPEN,startLoading);
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS,ProgressLoading);
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,completeLoading);
addChild(outLine);
outLine.addChild(inLine);
function startLoading(e:Event):void{
//draw the loader
outLine.graphics.lineStyle(1,0xB70908);
outLine.graphics.drawRect(0, 0, 100, 10);
outLine.x=130;
outLine.y=300;
}
function ProgressLoading(e:ProgressEvent):void{
if(e.bytesLoaded == e.bytesTotal){
g++;
}
//draw the progress loader
var sum:int=(g)*100;
inLine.graphics.lineStyle(1,0xB70908);
inLine.graphics.beginFill(0xB70908,1);
inLine.graphics.drawRect(0, 0, sum, 10);
inLine.graphics.endFill();
inLine.x=0;
inLine.y=0;
}
function completeLoading(event:Event):void {
removeChild(outLine);
obj = event.target.content.myItems; // myItems is a public class in the external swf
trace(obj.anyValue); // anyValue is public variable in myItem class
}
If I tried to access any member of obj, it gives me null but if I put this code in button event function and wait for a second and try to access it, it gives a successful value. So, I need to link this loader to the external swf loader.
I will be very grateful if some one can help me.
Thanks,

Loading External Data XML Or CSV?
Having done loads of it in the first few years of this century, I've not done much Flash in the past few years, been focused on PHP/MySQL Development.
Anyway, I now need to use the data from a MySQL database offline in a Flash executable so I'm jumping back in with AS3. There are several tables involved and I can write a script to export the data to whatever format is best.
XML or CSV?
Should I get it all into one file with all the data or is it possible to do the quivalent of joined queries once the data is in Flash?
I don't need a full explanation at this stage, I'm just interested in some opinions so that I hopefully set off in the right direction.

Loading External Data Using XML
Hello can any one give me a hand...
I making an application for our architecture that will be able to load images using an external XML file that can be updated rather quick when we go to meet other clients to show them our work...
Here are my issues:::
I have two nav systems a main nav and a sub nav

Loading External Data
Hi
I have been using using external files for a while, but just upgrated to MX2004...
Now, instead of just printing the value of the file I'm getting this first for a second:
_level0.variablename
I also see that it happens in the tutorial on this site:
http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/externaldata.htm
Why does this happen and How can I stop it?
Thanks

Loading External Data (MX)
Ok, lets see if i can explain this right. I have been trying to make a movie that loads different information from an external file each day. I name the external files according the the date that i want it to be imported (example: 200667, for today)
Ive been able to make the .getYear(), .getMonth(), .getDate() work to make the date in the above format.
xmlData.load(" ");<-- now when i write in the url to load the external file is there a way that i can write it so that it will update itself to the correct date so that i dont have to update it manually myself?
I hope i explained it ok, Thanks for any help if possible.

Loading Data From External Xml
i'm trying to load information from a remote location xml file (its on a different server). When i tested it in sandbox, it works perfectly fine, but once i uploaded it online, nothing seems to be working...
Code:
var a1 = new XML();
a1.onLoad = function(success){
if (success){
longdate1 = a1.firstChild.childNodes[1].firstChild;
}
}
a1.load("http://chire.org/ikilledme/rss/atom.xml");
I have tried adding
Code:
System.security.allowDomain("http://my.domain.com")
but it doesnt make a difference. the index.html and file.swf are located in the same directory (eg. http://my.domain.com/index.html and http://my.domain.com/file.swf)
i've deduced that the XML data is never loaded, since nothing in the the 'success' function is performed. I cannot edit the remote xml file since it does not belong to me and is a generated rss file. Thx in advance for any help.

Loading Data From External Txt File
Hey everyone --
I wrote a dynamic menu builder in Flash that takes in a whole slew of variables from an external text file. It's posted at http://speed.doit.wisc.edu/~scferman/dmb/ (swf, fla, and txt files) if you want to take a look. Briefly, I have a loop running to make sure it gets to the end of the external variable file before the menus are built. Here are several problems I've encountered in trying to use this menu system. These problems seem to occur MOSTLY when the code is used on an HTML page with a lot of other stuff on it.
1. Variables don't always appear to get loaded... sometimes the text labels (which are strings stored in those external variables) don't appear.
2. Sometimes the entire thing doesn't show up in Netscape. specifically, Netscape 4.7 on a laptop, slower connection.
3. I'm using a getBounds() technique to track if the mouse is over a button (not using the on (rollover) on a button) but that seems to be a little jumpy.... it seems as if my mouse pointer position isn't registered as quickly as I'd like, so the sub menus sometimes don't disappear when I roll off, or mousem movement within a single sub menu sometimes causes that sub menu to disappear even though I'm technically still on the sub menu.
4. Positioning of duplicated movie clips looks fine in Flash but sometimes has gaps or is slightly off when used in an HTML page with a bunch of other stuff.
If anyone has a chance or wants to help alleviate my extreme frustration, these are the issues I'm having. I sincerely appreciate any advice you can give! And if you want further documentation on how I built this, or if you want to use it, please let me know, it's yours!
Thanks in advance!

if you hit the Gallery section and click one of the images on the nav bar to the left a load bar pops up showing the status of the images its downloading... does anyone have a tutorial for something like that? I see it in alot of movies but can never really find any information on it.

External Data Loading Problem
I was pretty big into flash in versions 3, 4 and early 5 but I haven't used it in ages. I bought flash mx 2004 a little whlie ago and have been using it off and on again. Here's my problem: I was using this as a guide to load exteral text files.
http://www.flashkit.com/movies/Scrip...8012/index.php
I have everything the same, that I can tell, with the exception of the text file name. There are 3 frames, all with actions. The dynamic text field is in a movie clip of its own. There are 3 frames and they look like this:
Frame 1:
Code:
strRet = new Array();
var myTxT = new LoadVars();
myTxT.load("cont.txt");
Frame 2:
Code:
if (myTxT.loaded) {
nextFrame();
} else {
gotoAndPlay(3);
}
Frame 3:
Code:
myStr = myTxT.toString();
if (myStr.lastIndexOf("=") == myStr.length-1) {
myStr = myStr.substr(0,myStr.length-1);
}
strRet = myStr.split("%0A");
for (i=0; i<strRet.length; i++) {
myField += unescape(strRet[i]);
}
When I publish and view the movie..."undefined" appears before my text. So if my text file only says "This is text." what is actually printed is "undefinedThis is text."
Any ideas?

Actionscript For Loading External Data
Hello actionscript gods.
I'm trying to control a buttons' visibility in one flash movie by using a checkbox component from another flash movie located at the same domain but in a seperate html file.
The purpose is to give a client access and control over the data that controls components in the main flash movie.
How would the actionscript for the button on the main flash file be formated?

Loading External Data Into A Movie
So here I have my website http://bloodangels.freehostia.com/ . Yes it is silly looking, but it is supposed to be a joke amongst my clan members. Anyways, in the purple text box I had created a dynamic text field. In the variable field for that text field I put the name "home". Then I went and created a .txt file in the directory the flash is kept in and called it home.txt. In the .txt file I put home=BLAHBLAHBLAH. Then in the first frame of my movie, in the actions tab, I put, loadVariables("home.txt", this); So for a while my text was loading into the text field, but as you can see now, it is not. Does anyone have any idea what might be causing this? Ive tried everything in my knowledge (which isnt too much )

Problem When Loading External Data In IE
I'm having serious problems when viewing Flashes that load some data in Internet Explorer due to cache...
For example, I have a timetable I created in Flash... it loads the data using the XML class, previously calling a general .aspx file that displays the corresponding XML.
However, due to caching it doesn't refresh the data correctly, and I'm forced to set the comprobation of website newer versions to always...
Is there any other workaround for this problem? I tried messing with Flash configuration as well, with no luck...

Opposite Of Loading External Data
Okay so im thinking since you can load an external text into flash, can't you do the opposite? load a variable, string, array or what ever into a text file?
im wondering this since im still thinking of how to make a high score table...
i figure if you can do this and then run the list through a sort, you will have a high score table

Loading External Data Into A Nested .swf
Okay, I am going crazy here! I have read that when using macromedia's components in a .swf that is nested in a main .swf you must also embed the component in the main .swf as well.
Here is my issue. I have a dynamic text box that loads text from an external .txt file. This works fine when I play it directly in the browser, but I am needing to load this .swf into another first.
The structure is like this...
main.swf > subcontent.swf < data.txt
Is it possible to load the data in a nested movie?
My code in subcontent.swf is as follows.
var format = new TextField.StyleSheet();
var path = "flash.css";
format.load(path);
format.onLoad = function(success) {
if (success) {
output.styleSheet = format;
loadText = new LoadVars ();
loadText.load("data.txt")
loadText.onLoad = function (success){
if (success) {
output.variable = "datatxt"
output.htmlText = loadText.datatxt;
} else {
output.htmlText = "ERROR LOADING CONTENT";
}
}
} else {
output.text = "ERROR LOADING CSS FILE";
}
};
Again, this works fine when played directly in the browser, its only when loaded into another .swf that the external data is not able to be retrieved.
Please help!!!

Loading External Data Into An External Swf
I have a main interface where I'm loading an external swf's but I'm also trying to load text dynamically from a database from the external swf but the text will not show up,
but the text will load if it's in the main interface.
This is my code:
on (release) {
_level0.section = "about.swf";
_level200.play();
section = "contact";
loadVariablesNum("http://www.myurl.com/get_text.php", 0, "POST");
}
The swf will Load properly but the text won't.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
ps.I hope what I'm asking for makes sense

Loading External Data (not In MIME Format)
Is it possible to capture data in flash with action script that is not in MIME format (for loadvar the data needs to be in MIME format)
Example
MIME: var1=name1&var2=name2&....
not MIME: name1...
I would like to capture the "raw" data from an URL command (and the commands just return single values without mentioning the variable(s) to load it in)

Loading External Data From A .txt File Hosted Elsewhere
I'm trying to access this following .txt file on another site of mine. The argonews.com site is one of mine which currently hosts the Flash program - and it works there. But if I load this elsewhere, it doesn't load the file.
_root.loadVariables("http://www.argonews.com/mondo/update.txt");
Am I missing something? Or does remote access not work.
Thanks in advance...

Loading External Data With Shim Movie
Does anyone have a working example of loading external data using the shim method descibed on
http://www.macromedia.com/bin/tech_n...ad_xdomain.htm
I need to develop an app that will display on one domain (web domain), data generated on another
The first movie will send a request to a shim movie on the second domain, which is a signal for it to 'push' xml data back to the first domain for display
Does anyone have a full working example of this? Or the code to produce it

Help Loading External Data As A Number Array
So this is driving me a little nutty...
I'm trying to create an interface that is customizable by changing the data in an external text file, rather than having to open up AS and code away. My main issue comes from the fact that I can't get the data from the external file to be accessible from the main timeline.
Code:
PortfolioLoadVars = new LoadVars();
PortfolioLoadVars.load("portfolio.txt");
PortfolioLoadVars.onLoad = function() {
PortfolioTxt.html = true;
PortfolioTxt.multiline = true;
PortfolioTxt.wordWrap = true;
PortfolioTxt.autoSize = "left";
PortfolioTxt.htmlText = PortfolioLoadVars.Empty;
port_preview_x = PortfolioLoadVars.xloc;
};
Now, in the text file "porfolio.txt", there are the following values:
&Empty =
&xloc=-130,8,-130,8,-130,8,-130,8
If I try to trace port_preview_x, I get undefined. However, if I remove the code from this loadvars command and attach it to a button, it loads up just fine. I din't particularly want to attach code to buttons (that's just sloppy programming), so what do i do to make my .fla able to read this information from the main timeline?
I am using MX 04, if that makes any difference.
Thanks in advance for any help offered!

Flash And Loading External Data (example Fla Included)
Hey there kirupa!
alright so im trying to make a calendar and essentially i will be inputting data into a Txt file via a server side php script. but thats not what i am about to talk about .
what i need to know is how this calendar (the attachment) gets the data from the txt file then converts it so the calendar recognizes where to put the event data. i understand AS, like i know the
loadVariablesNum is loading the stuff from the txt file, but then what happens? how is the data used?
see what i plan on doing is use the datechooser component and turn it into a event calendar. but i need to know how something like where &e05022000 is used.
thanks for your time.
PS i hope this is in the right forum catergory
