How To Store My External Data?
Hi, I'm trying to create a RPG. I have a list of monsters and their stats, and I have a list of all the attacks (both yours and the enemy's) I want to load both of them into Flash when the game starts and I'm just trying to establish the best way to do this.
The two viable options that i can come up with are PHP/MySQL and XML, but, as I haven't really used either on a large scale application yet, I wanted to get peoples opinions on which is the easier/better method.
Store & Save Data In AS3
Here's a simple question but I'm a noob so I don't know it.
How would I grab user-inputted data into an input field and hold onto it for later?
For instance if I have a line that says "What is your name?" and an input box. When the user clicks next I want the next frame to say "Thank you [userName]" and ask the next question.
So how to pass that input to a string and recall it later throughout the SWF as needed?
Thanks for your help!

Best Database / Way To Store Data
Pretty much what the title states, for a project i need to make some game (won't need to try very hard, the others are using delphi) but it has to be able to store and recall data... ie.. names, scores, details etc...
Others in the class are using MS access, is that the best prog to use? Or whats mySQL? I've looked at the different ways of doing this, but just wanted some input from those of you with this sorta experience under your belt and can help out.
Any suggestions are welcome
thanks
Best Way To Store Data In Flash?
I'm having trouble figureing out the best way to store data. I'm creating a Flash application for work and basically it's a module to add a medication to a patients chart. There is a screen with drug name, drug class, dosage, etc. I want to hold this data in an array and then take that data and apply it to a data grid. I've done this without the array, but I wanted to use the array because I need to use this data in other ways.
Say I have 4 fields:
Drug Name
Drug Class
Drug Dosage
Reason Taking
Would it be best to have 4 arrays; one for each type of field and then if I want say drug number 5 look at the 5th position in each array?
Store XML Data In Array
I wanted to know if it was possible to store XML data in an array, and then call
this data later on in a MC.
so I have somehing like this.
Code:
xmlarray = [];
xmlFile = "users.xml";
xmlData = new XML();
xmlData.ignoreWhite = true;
xmlData.load(xmlFile);
xmlData.onLoad = function(success) {
if (success) {
path = xmlData.firstChild;
nodes = path.childNodes;
for(i=0; i<nodes.length; i++) {
xmlarray[i] = path.childNodes[i].attributes.area;
}
}
}
MC code.
Code:
trace(_root.xmlarray);
I wanted to know if this was possible to do

if (myradiogroup.getvalue() !==undefined){
getanswer[x] = myradiogroup.getvalue()}
in an on handler get my x and i to increase by 1 each
when I trace the out put I would see the value of my radiobutton group at the current value of x but if I trace eg trace(getanswer[2]) when the current value of X is 4 I get undefined
please I need help and sorry for the length of this post
Store A Data In A Flash Exe File, Is That Possible ?
Hi,
I am looking for a solution to make sure that our exe application created from a swf will work only on one computer (anykind: pc or Mac). Our application is for sale, i need to find a a way to protect it. I would like to find a way that, if our application is copied on another computer, it will not work.
It looks like the only way to do that is to store an information of the computers'user the first time the application is used, in the application. Then the next times, compare this stored information with the one used on the computer that run the application.
I heard that it was possible to store data in a flash application, is that right?
Thanks a lot.

How To Store Data In BitmapData Object?
hi, there:)
hope somebody can give me a hend on this...
so, i have some .jpg files
i want to put them them in a neaty array of bitmapData objects and on need assign them on a movieClip object
i'm relativelly new in the AS, so forgive me if i'm talking ****, but as far as i got it, i need to load the jpeg into a mc object, then take snapshot of the mc and assign it to the corresponding bitmapData object, right?
the URL of my jpgs are in the myFoo.filenames array, which is ok
so, here's my code:
Code:
import flash.display.BitmapData;
var Pics:Array = new Array();
var i;
//bitmap stuff
//trace ("tracing pics @ ln 6:"+ typeof(Pics));
this.createEmptyMovieClip("picture",this.getNextHighestDepth());
//set listener
var loadListener:Object = new Object();
loadListener.onLoadComplete = function(target_mc:MovieClip, httpStatus:Number):Void {
trace(">> =============================");
trace(">> =============================");
trace(">> loadListener.onLoadComplete()");
trace(">> target_mc._width: " + target_mc._width);
trace(">> httpStatus: " + httpStatus);
}
loadListener.onLoadInit = function(target_mc:MovieClip):Void {
trace(">> =============================");
trace(">> =============================");
trace(">> loadListener.onLoadInit()");
trace(">> target_mc._width: " + target_mc._width);
}
loadListener.onLoadError = function(target_mc:MovieClip, errorCode:String, httpStatus:Number) {
trace(">> =============================");
trace(">> =============================");
trace(">> loadListener.onLoadError()");
trace(">> errorCode: " + errorCode);
trace(">> httpStatus: " + httpStatus);
}
var mcLoader:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
mcLoader.addListener(loadListener);
for (i=0; i<myFoo.numberof; i++){
this.createEmptyMovieClip("holder_mc",this.getNextHighestDepth());
path="images/"+myFoo.filenames[i];
mcLoader.loadClip(path, holder_mc);
trace ("-----------------------");
trace (holder_mc);
trace ("holder_mc._width: "+holder_mc._width);
trace ("holder_mc._height: "+holder_mc._height);
var tmpBitmap :BitmapData= new BitmapData(holder_mc._width, holder_mc._height );
tmpBitmap.draw(holder_mc);
trace ("typeof(tmpBitmap): "+ typeof(tmpBitmap));
Pics[i]= tmpBitmap;
holder_mc.removeMovieClip();
trace ("i: "+i);
trace ("path: "+path);
trace ("Pics[i].height: "+Pics[i].height);
trace ("typeof(Pics[i]): "+typeof(Pics[i]));
trace ("-----------------------");
}
in which case the output is:
Code:
-----------------------
_level0.holder_mc
holder_mc._width: 0
holder_mc._height: 0
typeof(tmpBitmap): undefined
i: 0
path: images/1.jpg
Pics[i].height: undefined
typeof(Pics[i]): undefined
-----------------------
-----------------------
_level0.holder_mc
holder_mc._width: 0
holder_mc._height: 0
typeof(tmpBitmap): undefined
i: 1
path: images/2.jpg
Pics[i].height: undefined
typeof(Pics[i]): undefined
-----------------------
-----------------------
_level0.holder_mc
holder_mc._width: 0
holder_mc._height: 0
typeof(tmpBitmap): undefined
i: 2
path: images/3.jpg
Pics[i].height: undefined
typeof(Pics[i]): undefined
-----------------------
i obviously have problem with these
holder_mc._width: 0
and
typeof(Pics[i]): undefined
i think the second is consequence of teh first, 'cos is if i change
var tmpBitmap :BitmapData= new BitmapData(holder_mc._width, holder_mc._height );
with
var tmpBitmap :BitmapData= new BitmapData(100, 100);
the result is
-----------------------
_level0.holder_mc
holder_mc._width: 0
holder_mc._height: 0
typeof(tmpBitmap): object
i: 2
path: images/3.jpg
Pics[i].height: 100
typeof(Pics[i]): object
-----------------------
so, i still don't have jpg loaded into my mc object, but i have bitmapData array..
a-a-a
that's about it..
if you see what's wrong or have an idea how i can do it in some other way... PLS tell me:))
thx in advance

Can You Store Data In Local Shared Objects?
I just read about "local shared objects". I am building an application that requires disconnected data entry. In other words, the user needs to enter data when not connected to the network. When the user is once again connected to the network, they will push a button that will synchronize that data with the system. The amount of data will be small - equivalent to 3 pages worth of text.
Is that something local shared objects might be able to help with?

Can I Store Flash Generated Data To A Text-file?

Data Store / Retrieval Efficiency, And The Singelton Design Pattern
Hi there,
Whilst not strictly an AS3 question, I thought this the best place to ask, as posters here generally seem to work to higher-level best-practices.
I'm building a site for a photographers' agent, and I'm managing about 10 (rising to 20) photographers, each with about 10 collections, picked from any of 150 or so images. The bottom line is there will be at least 1500 images to display (each with filename, credits, id, etc), and a boat-load of data to load in.
Therefore, I've taken great pains to ensure the data is kept lean. For example, the path to a photographer is stored once, an image-size sub-folder is stored only one, and each of the 1500 images only stores it's filename once.
This is opposed to storing the full/path/to/each/filename for each image.
Now, upon completion of loading the data, it's available to my classes, and upon viewing each photographer I'll need to create the 150 or so class instances that will represent the image data (id, name, url, credits, etc) for that particular photographer.
So... getting to the point now:
When I create the image classes, I still need that full/path/to/image, so would it be best toassign the whole url of the image as an instance property in the constructor ie server/photographers/photographer/size/filename.jpg (thus duplicating a lot of data over the 150 images)
or, build the url manually each time I request the url property, using an implicit getter function
If I go the latter route (which is probably best) I'll need a reference to the server, photographer and size variables. These will change as the application changes, so I need some global point of access to them, and here lies my ultimate question:
Should I employ a Singleton to do the overall management of the application? So that the getter function might look like this:
ActionScript Code:
public function get url():String{
var manager = Manager.instance;
var path = manager.getPath();
var folder = manager.getFolder();
var size = manager.getSize();
return path + folder + size + '/' + this.filename;
}
image.url // "photographers/william_lingwood/thumbs/green_apples.jpg"
Or should pass in a reference to the Manager class in the constructor, so I could omit the repetitive static Manager.instance call, and just refer to this.manager?
I guess my question is "in order to keep duplication to a minimum, is it inefficient to constantly be calling a class method to get a simple variable?".
And "is a Singleton the best approach here? If not, what is?"
Sorry I had to ramble through all that. I felt I needed to explain the whole situation as I'm new to design patterns, so I hope it makes sense!
Many thanks,
Dave
Dynamic Text Boxes That Store Data Into A Database From Flash 5

Can Flash Store Data In Flat File On User's Local Machine?
I am developing a CD ROm training piece and need to know if it's at all possible for Flash to store data on the user's machine in a flat comma delimited file without the use of any server side languages?
I need to store a user record with about 5 fields. The user would pop the CD in, take the lesson and, ideally the responses from the lesson would be stored in a local text file.
Is that possible? If so, how?
Thanks
Store A Value ?
Okay here is what I need I have and 2 obeject:
Circle that = and x position of 100
Box that = and x position of 400
So i get the x difference between the objects that == 300 right
I need to figure out a variable that will store the half of 300 when i triger any key so if the circle or box moves it will not matter I will still get the half of 300 ( that should be 250) and if the ball moves and I triger the key it will store the half of that position at that time:
Example 2 :
Circle that = and x position of 100
Box that = and x position of 400
keypress then var = 250 <---- that is half of 100 and 400 actual number should be 150)
Circle moved to atposition of 200
Box that = and x position of 400
keypress then var = 300 <---- that is half of 200 and 400 actual number should be 100)
Let me know if you can help

Store Variables
let's say I have 5 buttons, each has a value (or variable) attached to it.
Ideally, once a button is clicked, the movie would store that info somewhere. Can I just put those in a movie clip or something? I want to be able to pass them to an ASP page later to run a query into a db. Any suggestions?
There will be hundreds of buttons. Its a map.

I have a main movie which contains a button to store a users position and a button to retrieve the users position, the main movie also has an empty movie clip used to load in external swf's.

(I dont want to use the shared object method).
Where Does SharedObjects Store Everything?
I was wondering if I could change the location of a SharedObjects object. I know you can do something like this:
ActionScript Code:

In other languages, that would mean that it's saved a level up, but i don't see it anywhere...
ultimately, i would like to specify where i the variables are saved, i.e. C:/My Documents

Where Do I Store External Swf's?
I'm obviously a newbie by my lame question, but, where should I store the external .swf's that I want to load into my main movie? I know my a/s is on point and the swf's names correspond, but when I click on a button to load a movie I get nothing. Does the folder need to be in a certain place for flash to find them?
Thanks to whoever!
