Flash :: Refresh

Can I Refresh The Mcs?
i have game - a jigsaw puzzle - now the pieces all are formed based on the picture in imagemc - now i put in one image per frame and named the frames (puzzle1, puzzle2, etc.)

and i put a stop(); command on each frame

now it will only use the first image - even if i do imagemc.gotoAndStop("puzzle2"); since it started with the first image - the pieces stayed with that image - - but if i take the stop(); command of the first frame of the imagemc - and the pieces start with the second image - then it works!

so is there a way i can refresh the pieces using actionscript?

i mean to do the imagemc.gotoAndStop("puzzle2"); and then refresh the pieces to the new pic?

please advise!

thanks

ASP Refresh
Hi,

I am trying to load variables from an ASP file in a constant interval. When it connects for the first time flash shows the right value. But in the subsequent connections, it still shows the same old value. That means the value retrieved for the first time is stored in the memory. I delelted the variable in the flash, but failed. Still the same old value.

How can i refresh ASP inside flash or how could i connect to ASP in intervals?

How Can I Refresh This
Hi flashers,

How can I refresh a dynamically loaded txt directly after loading a
new text in the txt file on server.

I got it in a movieclip and looping to reload the file from server each second but it does not refresh and display the new text.

Does anyone have an idea on how i could have this done the way to upload a new txt on server and that the new text will show in the movie clip.

Hope someone can help me out.

Thanks,
Sky

XML Refresh
Hi.
I'm making a small CMS with a friend, we use PHP5, XML and flash 8.
The problem is that when something is saved the flash doesn't refresh the data, so the only way to see that is done is to close the browser and enter again... is there any way to refresh a xml? unload it and load it again? to not cache? what ever.
Thank you.

Hi,

I have a html page which contains a flash movie. The movie is an image gallery which loads images using xml.

Sometimes the page loads fine and other times the movie is just blank, as though it is sticking?

If I press REFRESH, the movie loads fine?

I don't want to have to add a note asking the user to hit refresh if the movie doesn't load?

Anyone offer some advice please, I have read of people experiencing similar problems but have been unable to find a fix?

Thank you

I have a clock, using the dynamic text, showing hors, min, and sec... the only problem is that it doesn't refresh. I add the script in a layer action in the first frame... it's in all movie, but the minutes and seconds doesn't refresh.
Here i leave the script i used:

ActionScript Code:
min = myDate.getMinutes();
if (min < 10) {
min = "0" + min;
}

sec = myDate.getSeconds();

if (sec < 10) {
sec = "0" + sec;
}

t = myDate.getHours() + ":" + min + ":" + sec

Refresh Swf
Is it possible to refresh swf file so it starts again just like when it's started? I ask this because I made little game, but no matter how I try, I can make Game Over screen, because Flash player then jumps to the first frame even thought I have stop(); in G.O screen and if it is not enought it shifts all my symbols and stuff maybe 300 pixels to the right, even I haven't even programmed it! And one interesting thing, it stays in G.O screen maybe second or two before it moves to frame 1. I have one interval what haves NextFrame(); in it, but I tried clear it, it still tricks with me. Very strange thingy...
Thanks if you can help me some way

IE Refresh Bug
Hi

I'm becoming crazy here. I cant figure out why my movie hangs after refreshing on IE. It worked under any other browser I have test it.

On my first frame I have a simple preload function that work the fist time you load the site, but if you refresh the page, it wont pass the first frame.

Maybe it could be something with linkaged classes, exported on the first frame, but even if I uncheck this option, the problem persist.

It looks like that the PROGRESS event is never dispatched because the movie is all ready on cahe.

Checkit out at:
cyzone.com/portal/close2/principal.asp

Here my code:

Attach Code

stop();

import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.display.Stage;
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.events.*;
import com.tezzutezzu.gui.LoadingWheel;

function prueba (event:TimerEvent):void {
wheel.setLoading = true;
play();
}

var wheel:LoadingWheel = new LoadingWheel(" ", 16, 0xeb2779);

wheel.x= stage.stageWidth/2;
wheel.y= stage.stageHeight/2;
addChild(wheel);

this.loaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.INIT, initApplication);
this.loaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, showProgress);
//this.loaderInfo.addEventListener(lash.events.Event.COMPLETE , miPlay);

function showProgress(theProgress:ProgressEvent):void {
var percent:Number = Math.round((theProgress.bytesLoaded / theProgress.bytesTotal )*100 );
//trace(percent + " %");
if (percent > 99) {
wheel.setLoading = true;
play();
//trace("Application fully loaded !");
}
}

function initApplication(myEvent:Event):void {
wheel.setLoading = true;
play();
trace("Application fully loaded !");
}

XML Refresh - Tried Everything...
ok, so i searched on Google and searched on Kirupa and every answer I found, I tried...but no luck...so please help:

i have a flash calendar that loads its data from an XML file which is generated through PHP. The XML file is generated just fine and everything works (because I tried in FireFox and no problems)...BUT

in IE (I'm using 7, havent tried 5, 6, or 8 yet), once the calendar is loaded, if any changes are made to the database, which PHP uses to generate the XML, they arent displayed on refresh.

Things I've already tried:

1. all the header methods

Code:
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Expires" CONTENT="Tue, 01 Jan 1980 1:00:00 GMT">
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Cache-Control" CONTENT="no-cache">
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Pragma" CONTENT="no-cache">
2. Adding a random timestamp variable to the php file that is called which displays the calendar to fool the browser into thinking its in GET mode and pulling the file from the DB again.
ie. calendar.php?nocache=1204171390

3. in the Actionscript in the Flash

Code:
calendar_xml = new XML();
calendar_xml.ignoreWhite=true;
calendar_xml.load("calendarxml.php")
calendar_xml.onLoad = xml_handler;
Any other thoughts? Advice?

PS - I HATE IE!

Refresh From Flash?
how to you get flash to refresh the browser window that it is in?

What Would The Refresh Actionscript Be...
I have created a screensaver and it calls on the XML to go to http://www.myurl.com/whatever.txt and display the info. But when I upload a new whatever.txt it still displays the old one. I know I need to use the ?random=...but where? Is this correct:

on (release) {
getURL ("{docurl?random=.getTime()", "_blank");
}
Please help! I'm going bald now...:-)

HI-SCORES - How To Refresh ?
Ok ! here's the problem :

I have on my site some online games - the users of the site are playing quiet often and i have decided to put an hi-score keeper ...
Basicly, it gets the "score" variable from a TXT file, compare them to the new score, and if the new score is better, send the "score" variable to a php page that will re-write the txt file !
in a different frame, i have a hi-score reader that "reads" the hi-score txt file, and refresh it ( reading a refresh txt file with dummies values in it ) and then read the "hiscores" and so on ..
All of this works fine ( the writing of the new score...) except that my Flash file doesn't refresh the TXT file : it keeps loading the values the txt file had when it first loaded it, even if those values had been modified !?!?!? I have to erase the internet temporary files and reload the page for it to read the new values !!!! which is not that great for an hi-score system !!!
Does someone have the solution ??? ( i tried calling the TXT with the ?+number trick but it's not working ! )
Please !!! Help !!!
Thanks !

How To Refresh The Scene?
I want to make a button in the scene, when I press the button, it will auto refresh the scene/movie in first frame

Can action script do that?

XML Refresh Problem?
Howdy

I have a small flash newsfeed movie getting Well-formed XML off a MySQL backend via ASP. It all works, both in the local dev env and remotely... when you run the movie in the flash IDE but NOT when its sitting on a webpage in IE5.5.

When I say it doesn't work... I'm lying. It all works the first time, when you load. But, theres a button on there that should refresh the news items and reload the whole show.

This refresh DOES WORK in the Flash IDE but not on the webpage. Do you think this is because the web page is running locally (if you know what I mean) and its an MS caching thing???

Cheers

Refresh Headache
Dear all,

I have created a button with the script:

on (press){
loadVariablesNum ( "machine.asp", 0, "GET");
_root.msgbox = _root.temp;
}

_root.msgbox is the name of a dynamic text box while temp is a variable outputted from the ASP page. The ASP page contains code to generate a random number which would place it in the temp variable. It will then Response.write the temp variable.

Thus what i am trying to do is, evrytime i press the button, the textbox would be updated with the temp variable. (each press will change the value in the textbox)

However, i face a refresh problem. I need to press at least twice before a new number would appear, or else it would always return me the previous values.

Any help is appreciated. Thankz

Refresh Event...
I know this works, but I am wondering if anyone knows how to take say an add banner and have multiple ones in the same position. Then everytime the user clicks the refresh button or leaves the scene and comes back it is a new banner. I am just curious how it is done if anyone is willing to help me out!

Scroll Refresh?
Can't figure this out. I have buttons that load different text files into a dynamic text field. Everything works good except when published. The text file loads at top line in Flash Player...no prob. When viewed in browser, text won't load at top line. It loads where ever the last position was in the previous scroll (ex, if I scroll down 8 lines in text file and reload next text file, it loads at line 8??). I've tried "textfile.scroll = 0" AND "scrolling = 0" on the buttons with no luck. Any help on this one? Thanks.

ActionsMC Won't Refresh
I'm building a game, and I've put all the actionScript in a separate actionsMC, just outside the stage. It is in frame 2 of the root timeline. I've duped the actionsMC and it's code to frames 4 and 6 to allow for a total of 3 levels of play. The problem is, when I beat the frame 2 section of the game and move on to frame 4, the actionScript does not execute from the begining of code that's in the actionsMC - it just picks up where I left off in the frame 2 level.Any ideas?

Refresh Problem
I have this news ticker that reads its info from a text file. (I downloaded it from Flashkit)
When I run the web page from my local machine, Change the info in the text file, the info in the ticker updates automatically. When I put the same stuff on a web server, it doesn't update. Refreshing the browser doesn't help, only restarting the browser does. I also tried somw html metatags for the browser not to cache the page, but it didn't help. Is there a way to solve this?

Thanx in advance!
