Accesing externally loaded variables

i would greatly appreciate a pointer or two as i am having a
painful transition to AS2.0
an 8k zip test is at: www.cyan-animatica.com/v2/exttest.zip
//(wasn`t there an option back in macromedia days to attach a
file?)
i am having a poblem accesing externally loaded variables :
A.--------------------------------------------------------------------
the external .txt has folowing content:
&a1_0=hello&a1_1=bye&a1_2=whatever
B.--------------------------------------------------------------------
loaded on the first frame thus:
var thumbs:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
thumbs.onLoad = function(success:Boolean):Void {
if (success) {
trace("LoadVars loaded successfully: "+this.loaded);
} else {
trace("Error");
thumbs.load("my_externals.txt");
C.--------------------------------------------------------------------
if want to access one of 3 loaded variable hardcoding, this
works just fine:
trace(_root.thumbs.a1_1) //bye
BUT i need to do this based on the mc/buton name that calls
it:
on (press) {
var kk:String = _name;
trace(_root.thumbs.kk);
i get UNDEFINED...obviously i am mixing datatypes if not
worse

thanks for a prompt reply, blemmo.
you write:<<to ADD vars to the LoadVars object, it has
to be referenced correctly
what i want to do is READ vars from LoadVars object and
referencing is exactly what is killing me
sorry bout the lack of clarity. the zip would help
(www.cyan-animatica.com/v2/exttest.zip)
i am loading 3 variables into an object var thumbs:LoadVars
from one external .txt file:
a1_0=hello
a1_1=bye
a1_2=whatever
i want to see the contens of let us say the second variable
trace(_root.thumbs.a1_1);
produces bye , perfectly - this is exactly what i want, but i
want it based on a constructed reference
so, i have button in an mc named "a1_1", the button script
is:
on (press) {
var kk:String = _name;
trace(kk); // produces a1_1
trace(_root.thumbs.kk); //this should be same as
_root.thumbs.a1_1 and produce the same result, but does not
i suspect that the problem is that kk is declared as string
datatype, but no matter what i do i cannot get a result
thanks for your help

Load variables externally?

I am fairly new to flash.
Can anybody give me any advice on how to load variables from
an external file on my website that I can edit with a text editor.
I am making a flash intro to a website that has a pull-down panel
that displays information on new content on the website. It has two
variables in the main actionscript 3 code:
var gotoUrl:URLRequest = new URLRequest("
http://www.website.tld/newcontenturl")
var whatsnewText:String = "There is something new on this
website!"
The first one defines the url that a Go To button will link
to to allow the user to visit new content directly.
The second one defines the message displayed on the panel.
I am looking for a way to load these from a file I can edit
with a text editor like Notepad++ so I don't have to open flash to
update the content.
Can anyone give me any advice on how to do this?

I changed something related to what that variable is used
for.
I replaced whatever with
"Text". This is used in an action that changes a dynamic
text field to say what is in the variable. So it would make a text
field say
Text. This part does work because before I tried your code I
had just set the variable in the actionscript with the var action.
instead of whatever I used
"Text"

Listen for a variable in externally-loaded interactive swf

Hi,
I'd like to set a variable inside an externally-loaded swf created in Flash Professional that is playing inside a Flex 4 application. The swf will "signal" the end of an interaction (using a s:SWFLoader). Once the variable is set (by arriving at a particular frame inside the externally-loaded swf, I'd like my Flex 4 application to "know" and take action to unload the swf and then "navigate" to another state with a new Flex-based interraction.
Perhaps a step-based illustration will be more clear:
1. Clicking a textfield inside a Flex 4 application loads a custom component that uses an <s:SWFLoader> to load an external SWF that includes buttons to navigate through frames in a "slideshow" fashion.
2. Once the end of the "slideshow" is reached, a variable is instantiated by
var swfEND:String = "swfDne";
3. I'd like my Flex 4 calling application to know when this event occurs, then I'd like the sef to unload and Flex to goto another state.
Any help, particularly on how to detect events in external swfs from Flex will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Doug

When the timeline changes to a different location, something
in that new
location changes the value of your color variable -- so why
not just update
the code in that location (or those locations) and have them
perform the
functionality that depends on the variable's value?
In any case, you should be able to use the Object.watch()
method.
Instead of creating a simple variable, create an instance of
the Object
class, then use the Object.watch() method to keep an eye on
things.

Loading Variables in a Class Function

I am having problems loading variables from an external text
file inside of a class function. The text file has been created
properly, and the code that I use in the class is as follows:
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("texRules", -100);
loadVariables("texRules.txt", _root.texRules);
m_Rules = _root.texRules.rules;
I create an empty movie clip on the root frame named
texRules, load the variables into that movie clip with the next
line and then set my member string value equal to the text file
variable named rules. When I run the program, I get an undefined
for my m_Rules.
Here is my texRules.txt:
rules=THESE ARE THE TEXAS HOLD'EM RULES.
Any ideas as to what I am doing incorrectly?

I've opted to use the LoadVars instead of creating an empty
movie clip and loading the variables there. Here is my new code.
public function setRules():Void
var rulesLoader:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
rulesLoader.onLoad = function (success:Boolean):Void
if (success)
trace(rulesLoader.rules);
this.m_Rules = rulesLoader.rules;
else
trace( "Unable to load external file.");
rulesLoader.load("texRules.txt");
Here is where I define my properties of my class:
class TexHoldem extends Game
//Class member properties
//Private Properties
private var m_Rules:String;
private var m_Target:MovieClip;
Here is my constructor:
public function TexHoldem(target)
this.m_Target = target;
super("Texas No Limit Hold'Em", 0, 1);
setRules();
The setRules function works fine, the only problem now is
that I can't save the variables once the onLoad function goes out
of scope. I've thought of modifying it so that it returns a type,
but that seems difficult. The two easiest solutions I see is to
create an empty text field that holds the string or find a way to
get the rulesLoader.rules outside of the onLoad scope. Any
suggestions now? Sorry to change the problem on you.

External javascript variable problem

QUESTION: Why would an external javascript variable be undefined if I set it equal to all the links in a page?
BACKGROUND: I have a simple image swap function that works when the script is all in the html. But when I tried taking the script to an external javascript file, when I gather all the anchors on the page. The variable that is supposed to refer to the anchors is considered undefined in the middle of the script.
EXAMPLE: I have place an example online. You may check it out. Please.
Thanks!
Message was edited by: UteFanJason

So I checked out that link, and some information on scope. I got the function to work. Check it out.
I did some more reading, and it turns out that the onload event is when the entire DOM has finished loading. (That is according to a book put out a couple of years ago so it could be different now).
This is what I changed the the code to:
function prepare_thumbs() {
    var main_img = document.getElementById('main_img');
    links = document.getElementsByTagName('a');
    for (x=0; x<links.length; x++) {
        links[x].onclick = function() {
            main_img.setAttribute('src', this.getAttribute('id'));
            return false;
window.onload = prepare_thumbs;
Again, thanks for the help!

Please help me understand making and loading variable classes

Hi guys ,
I know that I am stupid but I just can't get this! AS3 says you need to load variables into a class? Please please give me a simple example

no, that's not a reason you would use a class file.
anyway, your document class variables are defined on the main timeline so to reference them from any timeline you can use:
MovieClip(root).w36; // for example (but it's really undesirable to have coding in more than one timeline)

Dynamic Text in Externally Loaded swf

hi. i have a dynamic text field in an externally loaded swf. Its a digital clock so i want the numbers to update in the dynamic text field.
this is not my exact code but it is very similar. i show below that i add the loader.swf, and once its loading is complete, i can work on its movieclips and add event listeners to its buttons, etc. but i cannot change the dynamic text field (its "classic text" set to "dynamic text"). after running this, the text just stays empty as it is in the external swf).
here is the sample code:
var loader:Loader = new Loader();
loader.load(new URLRequest("loader.swf"));
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, loaded);
function loaded(event:Event):void{
     addChild(loader);
     var loader_mc:MovieClip = (loader.content as MovieClip)
     loader_mc.myMovieClip.gotoAndStop(2);//***this works
     loader_mc.myButton_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickMe);//***this works
     loader_mc.myText_txt.text = "12";//***this doesn't work******
please help. thanks!

Did you embed the font in the textfield--it needs to be done in the loaded swf when you create it? One other thing to check is that the color for the textfield is not the same as the background it sits on.

How to load variables from a .txt file

Hi.
I usually make a flash aplication in colaboration with a php
programmer. But i want to test my swfs without having to wait for
him. So i want to do that through a text file. I know that flash
can load variables from text files. The problem is i don't know how
to format the text file ( example.txt).
Thank you

Here's a couple of ideas.
First you probably want to change what you have...and put
your 'if (pVar==1' etc inside a separate function and call it from
the onLoad handler after you have assigned the value to pVar...
because the onLoad will run at some unknown point in time after
loading has finished (actually in the test environment this might
work... but that wouldn't be the same as what happens in a
production setting).
To create test files for loadvars... simply create a new as2
file and put this code on the first frame and test movie:

Using the DateField in an Externally loaded SWF

Hello,
I have been having major trouble trying to get a basic PHP
contact form to work within an externally loaded SWF file inside of
a parent SWF. When I test the movie on its own it seems to work
fine (example: I'm able to select a date from the DateField
component). However, when I open up the parent SWF file and call
the external SWF file with the form the DateField is basically
unusable (example: when you click on it nothing happens, no
calendar pops up to select a date).
I have no ActionScript on it yet, simply because I figure I
need it to work before I tell it what to do with the PHP file. The
instance name on the DateField is "theDate". Any help is very much
appreciated. Thank you.
Also, I have just successfully used the contact form on the
web. But, the only user interface components I am able to edit are
the input text boxes, not the DateField or the ComboBox I have in
it as well. This is very odd, I was not aware that anything special
had to be done using these UI components within an external file.
Elijah

Hello 2m,
Maybe if you were to see it, it may help you out a bit. If
you
click
here for the external file you will see that the components are
working. However, if you
click
here for the parent file and then click on "Meetings" on the
top menu you will see that they do not work at all. However, if
someone were to hit the "send" button, the PHP code would actually
interact with the form. Let me know if that helps at all. Thanks
again for replying.

UAG External Load Balancing and ISATAP

Hi Experts,
I am deploying a UAG Array to be used for Direct Access. The Array will consist of two servers and use an F5 External Load Balancer. In addition and in similarity
to 90% of the other corporate intranets out there, the internal network is IPv4 with no IPv6 transition technologies deployed. The article
http://blogs.technet.com/b/edgeaccessblog/archive/2010/05/17/configuring-an-external-load-balanced-uag-directaccess-array-for-an-ipv4-only-network.aspx
isgreat but to my mind has no information to support ‘Manage Out’ and throws up a number of questions: (Note that I want to enable ‘Manage Out’ capability and as far as I am aware that is achieved by using ISATAP)
The article describes that you have to generate and configure your own IPv6 address for the internal interface when using an external load balancer. Does anyone know why? Why not let UAG assign
the addresses as per the default?
UAG by default configures itself as an ISATAP router when there is no IPv6 infrastructure deployed on the internal network
to facilitate ‘manage out’. This still applies when using Windows NLB. Why does this no longer apply when using an external load balancer? I.e. Why does UAG no longer configure itself as a ISATAP router?
In relation to question 2; you therefore need to move your ISATAP router to a different device (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee690463.aspx),
in doing so how do you configure the ISATAP environment to traverse the UAG servers without some sort of load balancing on the internal interfaces? I’m assuming that you can only tell the ISATAP router to use the one default gateway i.e. either one UAG server
or the other. This means that you would have all your outbound internally initiated traffic going via one server only – not very good for performance or fault tolerance.
In relation to question 3; I thought therefore that NLB could be used on the internal interface to solve the above problem, except that I have read that you can’t mix and match external load
balancing and NLB even though they are on separate networks due to bidirectional affinity. What does this actually mean and why does this not occur when load balancing is mixed in this manor?
Therefore when you wish to use external load balancers, do you:
A) Except the fact that you can’t use UAG as a ISATAP router and you do indeed need two devices
and deploy it as described here (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee690463.aspx)
or
B) Except the fact that that you can’t use UAG as a ISATAP router and any internal outbound
traffic travels via the one UAG server only.
Apologies for the long post, but I wanted to make sure that I get my thoughts down concisely so that it may help others who come up with the same questions
J
Thanks for your time everyone
Gary

I am also facing the same issue. I have UAG1 and UAG2, which are in an array, and externally load balanced. I've configured an external ISATAP router according to:
http://www.windowsnetworking.com/articles_tutorials/Configuring-ISATAP-Router-Windows-Server-2008-R2-Part2.html. However, as mentioned by others, the ISATAP router has to have either UAG1 or UAG2 as the next hop for IP-HTTPS traffic. As
a result, communication between the DirectAccess client and management devices will only work if the client is tunneling through the same UAG server that the ISATAP router has as the next hop for the IP-HTTPS prefix. From what I can tell, my configuration
is supported, but I can't figure out how to have the ISATAP router determine which UAG server a client is tunneling through. I thought about having two separate IP-HTTPS prefixes for each UAG server, but this would get overwritten when activating
the DirectAccess configuration. Maybe some type of internal load balancing?

External Load Balancing OAM11g Servers

With OAM 11g, DB 11.2.0.1, RHEL5.6, and WLS 10.3.5... we have clustered the managed servers and all that displays, starts, stops as expected -- hosts are H1 and H2. We also have an external load balancer (haproxy). By "external", I mean that the host (PRHost) where the protected resource (PR) resides is outside the LB and all of the OAM infrastructure is inside the LB. We actually have 2 layers of LB because we are also trying to create a disaster recovery site, but for now we'll concentrate on the just the webgate and the LB.
We have installed WLS 10.3.5, OHS 11.1.1.2, and have deployed a PR on the PRHost. We then installed the 11g webgate on PRHost and instantiated the webgate within the OAM Server on H1 and moved the artifacts to the PRHost.
The question is fairly simple -- at least from my perspective -- the webgate gets its connection information from the ObAccessClient.xml artifact created when the webgate was added to the OAM Server. The only connection the webgate understands is the listing of the primary/secondary OAM Servers within that artifact.
QUESTION:+ When we access the protected resource, how will it know to go through the external LB if the only connection information it has is the OAM Server? We realize that there is LB information within the OAM Server setup, but this means that in order to determine where the LB is, we need to first access the OAM Server setup. We require the PR to first go through the LB to find an available OAM server, but there appears to be nothing on the PR webgate to inform it how to find the LB.

Luis,
you need the command 'portmap disable' available in 5.01 and 5.03
gilles.

I actually want the SWF to jump to a new scene when the first
movie is done.
How can I do that/ what the actionscript?
Steven

Hey Steven,
I am not very sure but just giving a shot answering it...
You can use FLVPlayback.complete event to detect the
comepletion of first flv and set the path of other flv on complete.
Something like this:
import mx.video.*;
my_FLVPlybk.contentPath = "
http://www.helpexamples.com/flash/video/clouds.flv";
var listenerObject:Object = new Object();
// listen for complete event; play new FLV
listenerObject.complete = function(eventObject:Object):Void {
if (my_FLVPlybk.contentPath == "
http://www.helpexamples.com/flash/video/clouds.flv")
my_FLVPlybk.play("
http://www.helpexamples.com/flash/video/water.flv");
my_FLVPlybk.addEventListener("complete", listenerObject);
Hope that works...

Problem loading variables and controls in Workshop 8.1 (Beta) Palettes

Hi All,
I am getting problem in loading variables and control in the Workshop Data and
Control Palette at times when I open the application. The Workshop interface shows
the variable at times and does not show up at all on another instance. Let me
know if anybody else has faced a similar problem or not

Akshay,
Please post this question in the Workshop 8.1 Beta Newsgroup.

External loading

Hi guys. Just have a couple of questions about external loading.
Firstly, in order to reduce the file size of my swf, I want to place all the video and image content on a server and just loading it in using as. Is this done using a standard URLRequest or do I need the NetConnection thing?
Secondly, say I aim to have a preloader, which loads all content of the swf before the users enters the website (The swf will be a website...I aim for no loading whatsoever when the user enters the site). Will the preloader load all the content which relies on the above method (URLRequest or NetConnection), or will this only happen when the user navigates to a page which holds the video or image to be loaded from the server?
Any advise appreciated as always,
cheers

you can load swfs and bitmaps using the loader class.
and, if you have a preloader for your main swf that will not preload swfs and bitmaps loaded using the loader class unless you explicitly preload those assets.
