Flash :: Variable From Text File

Plain Text File....no Variable....need To Read The Number In Text File
I have a CGI script that updates a text file.
It's just a numeric value 0,1,2,3, etc.

So there is no variablename in the text file.
It's just the number.

Can I read this number with Flash and return a boolean value?

If the number is 0-150 I want it go to one frame.
If the number is above 150 I want it to go to another frame.

Thanks in advance for the help.

Dynamic Text Field: Swap Text With Diff Variable In Same Ext. File
I'm using the recommended

Code:
loadText = new LoadVars();
loadText.load(_global.text_url2);
loadText.onLoad = function(success) {
if(success){}

etc..
which is working well. I just want to attach an action to buttons which will switch the text for different variables in the same text file, in a single text box named archivetitle.

ie.

Code:
archivetitle.text = this.title1;
when button one is pressed

Code:
archivetitle.text = this.title2;
when button two is pressed.

Basically, how do i access an already loaded text object to refresh to a new variable? Thanks!

Text File ----> Variable
Hey,

I know how to load text from a .txt file into flash and display it in a text box.

However, I'm trying to take the text from the text file and load it into flash and have it as the value of a variable.

e.g.

Text file:

news=this is the news

Flash code:

_global.newsvar = news

But that doesn't work
I think its to do with how i refer to "news",
do i need:

_global.newsvar = _root.news
or
_global.newsvar = _global.news

?????

I've tried a few things but have had no luck,
Any help would be great,
Thanks,
Matt

Getting The Right Variable From A Text File
Hi,

I have a flash movie which loads a set of variables from a text file. A typical text file might have the content:

&Q1=Question1
&Q2=Question2
&Q3=Question3

So two questions.

1) Is it possible to count how many variables are contained within the text file and more importantly how many begin with the letter 'Q' as I may mix it up a bit with other variables.

2) I generate a random number based on the number of Q variables in the text file. Can I then select that variable's value for manipulation.

For example:

Code:
oData = new LoadVars();
oData.onLoad = function(){
iNumber = 10 //There are ten Q variables in this text file
iSelectedNumber = Math.round(Math.random() * iNumber)
sCurrentQuestion = "Q" + String(iSelectedNumber)
sCurrentQuestion = this.sCurrentQuestion //THIS IS THE LINE I CAN't WORK OUT
txtQ.text = sCurrentQuestion

};
oData.load("start.txt");
So the line with this.CurrentQuestion is obvkously wrong, but is there some way of detecting the value of relevant Q variable once that Q variables name has been derived as a string.

Many thanks for any help,
G

Text File Variable
I am trying to extract a simple variable from an external text file, set it as a variable and then perform an if else statement based on its value. I think Im pretty close

PHP Code:

loadVariablesNum ("testFile.txt", 0);
// testFile.txt's contents is this exactly: camera=1

// need to set the value "1" from the text file above and set it as a variable that I can pass on to a function

if (camera == 1){
    textt.text = "yo cam 1";
} else if(camera == 2){
    textt.text = "yo yo cam 2";

Variable From A Text File Into A Text Field?
Hello all,
I am trying to import a variable from a text file into a text field. Does anyone know if this is possible? An example of what I am trying follows.

• I have a dynamic text field in a Flash movie named "entry" (that is the variable name/text FIELD name).
• I have a text FILE named submits.txt stored in the same directory as the SWF, which I am bringing in using loadVariables. This text FILE has a list of variables which are to be randomly placed into the text FIELD in the SWF upon load. They are named as such:

text1=blah blah 1&text2=blah blah 2&text3=blah blah 3 etc.
I also have a variable called maxentry which equals the total #of entries within the text FILE. This will be used for the random function.
• I want to be able to change the value of the text field variable (named "entry") to one of the variables in the text FILE such as text1.
_______________
• As a test, I tried to do this by setting the variable like this:
_root.entry = "text"+1
• What was returned in the text FIELD was the string: text1
• I tried un-checking the expression box and it returned "text" + 1

Is there a way to get it to look at the loaded variables so that it will change the variable/text field from "entry" to blah blah 1, which is the actual value for the variable named text1 in the text FILE submits.txt which I am importing?
Thanks,
Damien

Saving A Text Variable As A File
Hi everyone! [Please Help!!!!]
I am working on a little flash program, and everything is working great! (Thanks to tutorials on this site!!) And I am trying to do one last thing.

I have a dynamic text variable called "login" and what I would like to happen is on the click of a button, I would like this file to be saved to a set path. And I am hoping I could use an input text field for the filename.

To make things clear, I will just quickly explain what I am doing with a small example. I have 2 input text fields in my flash program and one dyanmic. The two input text fields are called "username" and "password" and the dynamic is called "login". Now what I would like to happen on the click of a button is. (Forgive me for my psuedocode here... just trying to make it quick!)

on click .... save variable "login" as c:username.txt, the username in the filename being the inputted text variable username.

Please help! I am on a quick deadline for this, any help is appreciated!! I just cant figure it out!

Thanks!

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?

Using Text From Txt File (Load Variable)
I'm loading some text from an external file (page1.txt)and trying to use the variable in it (ba00,ga00,etc) to change some properties of a movie.

Example:

Line 1:loadVariables ("page1.txt", "mysliders", "POST");
My page1.txt reads something like ba00=-35&ga00=-35 etc.
Line2: setProperty ("mymovie", _x, ba00);

Unfortunately, the variables I set in my external file (page1.txt) does not get defined until the very very end of all my action scripts.
I have used the debugger and have verified that the variable BA00 doesn't get defined when I want it to. Is there a way to set the priority of when the variable gets defined or am I doing something wrong. Attached is the actual FLA.

Thanks in advance.

p.s. By the way, I'm still working on the action scripts so I do realize that I need to add a NUM modifier to make the variable a number and not a string. I'm just trying to have it read the variable at the right time first.

Any help would be great,
Walt

Import Text From File TO A VARIABLE
Hey!

I was looking around, and couldnt find any solution for my question, even in Flashkit or Google, then I decided to post it here...

I was thinking if is possible to import text from an external file (txt straight format), NOT to a textbox, but to a variable.

The explanation is simple: I DONT want to display this imported text, but just check what's there (just like a config file or something like this, got it?).

Someone knows if it's possible and how to do that?

Thank you!

Checking A Variable From Text File
Hi,

I want to read variables from a text file called "aantal.txt". In this file is the following line:

&aantal=3

The swf is a picture gallery. The number 3 is the number op jpg's that need to be loaded.

On the first frame of my flash file I have this code:

Code:
loadVariablesNum("aantal.txt", 0);

_root.p1.visible = false;
_root.p2.visible = false;
_root.p3.visible = false;
_root.p4.visible = false;

if (aantal > 1) { loadMovie ("images/kl1_01.jpg", _root.p1); }
if (aantal > 2) { loadMovie ("images/kl1_02.jpg", _root.p2); }
if (aantal > 3) { loadMovie ("images/kl1_03.jpg", _root.p3); }
if (aantal > 4) { loadMovie ("images/kl1_04.jpg", _root.p4); }

Sadly, this doesn't work. I think because i am doing something wrong with checking the variable (or loading the txt or.. you tell me..)

Can somebody tell me what i am doing wrong?

Variable As Instance Name From Text File
I am loading a variable(myVariable) from a text file into my time line. Also on the time is an a mc (shy_mc) that I've set to visible = false. I have a button, also on the same time line that on(Press) calls a function (showShy). the function uses the variable to reset the visible property of shy_mc. shy_mc instance name (shyGuy) is the same as the content of the variable in the text file. I've also set up a trace function to make sure the variable is being passed correctly. The trace function shows "shyGuy" but the visibility doesn't change. Any ideas? See code below:

text.txt = myVariable=shyGuy

actionScript =
loadVariables('text.txt', _root);

this.shyGuy._visible = false;

function showShy () {this[_root.myVariable]._visible = true;
trace(_root.myVariable);}

Multiple Variable In Text File
Hi. I'm having an issue creating a working file that loads an external text file that contains multiple variables and viewing them using different buttons.
The issue is not with the text file or the loading of the variables, but with the buttons and the variable text not displaying on rollover and I'm not sure why.

Text file:
The text file is named quotes.txt and contains 6 varible quotes in form quote1=blah&quote2=blah&quote3....

The actionscript for loading:
myData = new LoadVars()
myData.load("quotes.txt")
myData.onLoad = function(succes){
if(succes){
quote1_txt.text = this.quote1;
quote2_txt.text = this.quote2;
quote3_txt.text = this.quote3;
quote4_txt.text = this.quote4;
quote5_txt.text = this.quote5;
quote6_txt.text = this.quote6;
} else trace ("Error loading data")
}

The button setup:
There are 6 buttons with the following code"
on (rollOver) {
this.gotoAndPlay("quote_1");
}

on (rollOut) {
this.gotoAndPlay("start");
}

where quote_1 is a frame label. The frame has a dynamic text box with a name of quote1_txt. Etc, etc. The thing is, when I place and of the dynamic text boxes in the first frame of the movie (in other words not activated by using the buttons to go to specific frames) the variable text displays fine. But when going to the different frames the text won't display at all.
I hope I am not being confusing in how I'm describing this. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.

Import Text File With No Variable
Normally, when importing a text file through LoadVars you would have to format the txt file like this:

content=This is de line which people should read

So it would have to start with a variable.

Is there a way to do this without the txt file needing to start with a variable? So the txt file would just contain the text?

This is the line which people should read

I guess not with LoadVars (it needs a variable), but perhaps in another way?

Text File Variable Problems
Okay, so I used the loadVariablesNum command to retrieve information from a text file. This text file contains several variables (i.e. &entries = 7, etc.). The problem is that flash doesn't recognize the variables as numbers. I thought maybe they're being loaded as strings, so I used parseInt() and Number() to try to convert them to numbers, but neither seem to turn the variable into a number. I know this because whenever I try to do a mathematical operation with them it just doesn't work. This also is a problem for my for(i=1, i<=entries, i++) loop. It just doesn't recognize the variables as numbers...any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

_global.myPictureTitle = "A26 Editorial:Letters, Mar. 10 2007";

}

THEN IN MY LOADED SWF - I HAVE A TEXT FIELD THAT REFERS TO THE global variables : myStatement and myPictureTitle

myTitle.text = (_global.myPictureTitle);

it worked at first and the loaded swf would display the text set by the global variable in the main timeline

and now after changing the design a little
it doesn't work anymore

i tried it first with local variables and that didn't work either

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.

Is It Possible To Use A Number From A Variable In A Text File?
Hey guys I've got a question over something that should be simple but it's doin my head in cause It doesnt work!

I got a "for in" loop loading variables from a textfile, I want to get from it the number of items to display.

in the text file the variable "sectionitems" corresponds to a string, "8".

--> &sectionitems=2

but this doesnt work:

for(i=0;i<=sectionitems;i++) {

If I do that doesnt work as well, it makes as infinite loop

Number(sectionitems);

Code:
loadItems = new LoadVars();
loadItems.load("test.txt");
loadItems.onLoad = function() {
nitems = this.sectionitems;
test_tf.text = nitems;
trace("nitems = " + nitems);
for(i=0;i<=nitems;i++) {
trace(i);
}
}
this still makes an infinite loop !

how is it possible to use a number from a variable in a text file ?

Using A Variable To Change Name Of Text File Loaded
What I have set up so far works.. but only occasionally so maybe someone could help me out.

I have one layer called "song buttons" which contains 6 buttons. At frame 12 (first keyframe of the layer) each button has script similar to this

on (release) {
lyricfile = "lyrics/escapelyrics.txt";
gotoAndStop (15);
}

each button's action script changes slightly being the name of the text file loaded and the frame to which it goes to and stops.

So in the above example at frame 15 there is an isntance of a movie clip which loads the variables in from the variable _root.lyricfile and displays the text into a scrolling text box.

The problem is it doesn't work right. Some of the buttons don't load anything. Some load the wrong text file and some seem to reset it so that another buttons works.

Do I need to somehow reset the variable between each instance of the movie clip being loaded or what?

I know this doesnt' make much sense but if anyone has an idea or would care to look at my .fla file it would be greatly appreciated.

if (U == "Admin") {
tellTarget ("/Update Window") {
gotoAndStop(2);
}
}
else if (_root.level33 eq "News Poster") {
tellTarget ("/Update Window") {
gotoAndStop(2);
}
}
else {
tellTarget ("/Un-authorized") {
gotoAndStop(2);
}
}
gotoAndPlay(11);
}

Trying To Load Variable From Text File To Use In GetURL
Help!

I'm trying to load a variable from a text file to use in a getURL action.

I am trying to load the file with
loadVariables ("flashcompleted.txt", 0, "GET");
and then doing a
trace("url is" + NextUrl)
which is the variable in the file that I'd like to use.

Nothing appears for the value of the variable in the trace window so I'm assuming that I'm not even accessing the file which is in the same directory as the Flash files.

I'd then like to use the NextUrl variable to
getURL (NextUrl, "_self");

a) Can I do this?
b) What am I doing wrong?

Any help would be gratefully received!

Reading _visible Variable From Text File
hi

i have a SWF that reads a variable for the _visible property from a string in a text file that looks like this:

s1visible=false

the 'false' part is whether it is visible or not (it would be 'true' if it is visible of course). but when i have this code in my SWF to read the variable:

MC1._visible = s1visible;

it doesn't work, the object is still visible if the variable is set to false. i have tried a bunch of ways to fix this including using:

MC1._visible = Boolean(s1visible);

OR

MC1._visible = (s1visible == "true") ? true : false;

and those don't work...any ideas? thanks!

Spliting And Listing A Text File Variable
I searched the forums for this, but did not find exactly what I was looking for.

What I want to do is:

I have a text file:
---------------------------
list_new=test1,test2,test3
---------------------------

I want to load this into my movie.
Then create an array out of it. So it would end up something like this:

--------------------------
list_new[0]=test1;
list_new[1]=test2;
list_new[2]=test3;
--------------------------

What want to do with this is then load this into a listBox component. But the text file will look as I have given..

Is this possible?

Print & Output Text File From Variable?
Im using flash to create dynamic graphs etc, the graphs will be generated by variables inputted by the user.

The aim of the project is for job level assesment.

On each page the user has space to type in any comments (things they need to improve on etc). I need to be able to gather the contents from these text boxes and be able to print a sheet which would have them all listed one after the other with a return between each.

I might also need to have the option to save the data as a text file to their computer (the clients not sure about this yet) .

Any comments on the best ways to go about any of these would be greatly appreciated

The final project will be outputed as a projector and run off of a cd, so preferable any scripts that might me used would need to be run off of the cd (if this is possible)

Cheers

Ian
