Flash not loading one XML attribute

I have a Flash MP3 player that loads the song list from an
XML file. I'm trying to set it up to take the customer to the
online store to purchase the currently playing song. The player
successfully loads the track name, artist name, and url to the
song, but for some reason does not appear to the load the new
attribute of buylink that I have just added. Given the code below,
my buylink value is returned as undefined. Can anyone tell me where
my error is here? If more info is needed please let me know!

Aha.
XML Parsing Error: not well-formed.
It appears to have issues with the = signs in the link. This
is a problem for my site, as I need those in there in order to link
to the page. I'll have to come up with something other than xml for
the 'add to cart' functionality within this flash file.
Oddly enough, it does pick up all of the rest of the
information.
Thanks.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.

Flash/AS3/XML - not loading after XML edits

HI all,
I apologize in advance for not being able to give a lot of information. I'm working with a proprietary template for e-learning and trying to get it to work. But, regardless, here's the situation.
Building e-learning using a Flash and AS3 template that has several parts and relies on one XML file for all content. There is an index (Flash) page that serves as the shell for the entire module. That index page 'hosts' a language selection menu, main menu, and the stage for .swf files that are 'pages' of each chapter. Each 'page' has several 'clips' inside of it (images, text, audio, etc.).
The XML is structured as such (N = number of items total, X = specific number of that item):
<xml>
     <course (with title and several other attributes)>
          <chapter type="chapter" title="Title of Chapter">
               <page>
                    <file><![CDATA[pagedirectory/pageX...N.swf]]></file>
                    <clipX1...N audio='audiodirectory/audio_X...N'> <![CDATA[If there is any on-screen text, this is where it goes.]]></clipX...N>
                    <ccX...N><![CDATA[This is for the closed captioning; all script/audio text is here.]]></ccX...N>
               </page>
          </chapter>
etc. for as many chapters as there are.
The XML file structure is a little odd, but it works...usually. For some reason though, I broke it.
I put in "chapter 0" which is the introduction. Everything runs smoothly, but then when I add another chapter, the main menu won't load. I assumed this to be something in my XML syntax; however, I've checked over it, including the new stuff I added. BTW: The main menu is populated by the "Chapter" attributes in the XML.
So, I guess my question is two-fold, and I understand that I may only get very general answers (or questions that relate to specifics):
Are there things in XML files that when used by AS/Flash simply don't work? I've already checked for "&" and other characters... but are there some other ones?
Any other guesses as to why the main menu loads when only one chapter is in the XML, but not when there are two? Again, I've check for tag accuracy, etc. What could I be missing though?
Thanks!
Andy

Sending variable value from php to flash to load an xml file

I would like to load an XML file from the location locally or on the server being unaware of the name of the file. I am using PHP for sending the filename to Flash.
The below is the PHP code:
<?php
filesInDir('C:\Documents and Settings\457305\My Documents\shrikant\Flash Tutorials\webassist');
function filesInDir($tdir)
        $dirs = scandir($tdir);
        foreach($dirs as $file)
                if (($file == '.')||($file == '..'))
                elseif (is_dir($tdir.'/'.$file))
                        filesInDir($tdir.'/'.$file);
                else
                        echo "fileName=$file";
?>
And below is the loading Actionscript code:
import flash.net.URLLoader;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.net.URLVariables;
stop();
// Define the PHP file to be loaded
var phpFile:String = "http://localhost/webassist/test.php";
var cons_xml:XML;
var xmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
// Specify dataFormat property of the URLLoader to be "VARIABLES"
// This ensures variables loaded into Flash with same variable names
xmlLoader.dataFormat = URLLoaderDataFormat.VARIABLES;
xmlLoader.load(new URLRequest(phpFile));
xmlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, processXML);
function processXML(evt:Event):void
          trace(evt.target.data.fileName);
          //cons_xml = new XML(evt.target.data.fileName);
          //gotoAndPlay(2);
When I trace the evt.target.data it displays "fileName=mainOpenEndedXML%2Exml" and when I trace evt.target.data.fileName the fileName is properly displayed as "mainOpenEndedXML.xml".
But in the next two lines where the loading occurs it does not load the file i.e the swf file from xml doesn't play.
I have been searching the Internet for answers but not able to find any solutions.
The loading works properly if i directly insert the xml file in the code and the swf's in the XML file play propertly. The below is the code for the same:
import flash.net.URLLoader;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.net.URLVariables;
stop();
var cons_xml:XML;
var xmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
xmlLoader.load(new URLRequest("mainOpenEndedXML.xml"));
xmlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, processXML);
function processXML(evt:Event):void
          cons_xml = new XML(evt.target.data);
          gotoAndPlay(2);
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated

Yes. you already said that, but I guess you don't understand what I said. You are loading the PHP fle to get the filename, but nowhere are you taking that filename and loading the file that was named.
You need to do two loading operations. The first one to get the filename, and the second to load the file with that name. Maybe if you name the PHP file loader phpLoader instead of xmlLoader it will start to make more sense to you. Something like the following...
import flash.net.URLLoader;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.net.URLVariables;
stop();
// Define the PHP file to be loaded
var phpFile:String = "http://localhost/webassist/test.php";
var phpLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
// Specify dataFormat property of the URLLoader to be "VARIABLES"
// This ensures variables loaded into Flash with same variable names
phpLoader.dataFormat = URLLoaderDataFormat.VARIABLES;
phpLoader.load(new URLRequest(phpFile));
phpLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, processPHP);
function processPHP(evt:Event):void
         var xmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
         xmlLoader.load(new URLRequest(String(evt.target.data.fileName)));
         xmlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, processXML);
var cons_xml:XML;
function processXML(evt:Event):void
          cons_xml = new XML(evt.target.data);
          gotoAndPlay(2);

Images not loading from xml

Hi,
I have a webpage created in flash which uses xml to load specific gallerys into movie clips. Everything works fine in preview, but when uploaded it doesn't work. When you click on film or any of the other galleries, the galley does not load. I don't know whether this has something to do with the hosting or not.

You need to actually specify param name="movie" follow by

Suggest you use flash PUBLISH option to generate proper html

Flash not loading images in FireFox

I have a website that loads a small flash object that gets
it's images from an txt file. It all works fine in IE but not in
FireFox. I have the newest version of FireFox and Flash player 9
plugin. It loads the flash object and background but will not load
the images. It is supposed to fade several images in and out.
The website is
schakolad.com
If you view it in IE you can see how it is supposed to look.
Then view it in FireFox and you will see that it does not load the
fading images. I have done several tests including having the txt
file and the images in the same directory as the swf and the ASP
page. I have checked file and directory security. Still does not
work. I have saved the txt file in several formats including UTF-8,
Still does not work.
Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!

In looking at your code, it looks like your problem is coming
from a malformed embed tag. You need to add the FlashVars parameter
to your embed if you want it to work in any browser other than IE.
IE doesn't need the embed tag to display flash content, and every
other browser REQUIRES it. Every <param> tag you use must
have a pair in the <embed>.
Here is your object with this added:
<object
classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="
http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,29,0"
width="280" height="288">
<param name="movie" value="products.swf">
<param name="quality" value="high">

Java through javawebstart not loading the xml file.-- need help

Dear All,
I am using jdk1.2.06, tomcat 5.25
In tomcat- inside webapps--mydirectory-- load.xml, applet1.java is present
in the browser applet1.java is called through javawebstart,
load.xml is loaded in applet1.java,where parsing is done in applet1.java,
but my problem is load.xml is not loaded in applet1.java through java webstart
Whether i want to do any pplicy file setting.. please clearly mention it..
thanks in advance

this is not the 'right' way to do it... but I think it should
work. I didn;t change the function name although I think its
supposed to be
getdetailsfrmXML instead of getetailsfrmXML
public function getEmpDetailsFrmXML() {
var xmlFileName:String = "emp.xml";
var employee_xml:XML = new XML();
employee_xml['externalScope']=this;
employee_xml.ignoreWhite = true;
employee_xml.load(xmlFileName);
employee_xml.onLoad = function(success) {
if (success) {
var xmlData = this;
this.externalScope.getetailsfrmXML.call(this.externalScope,xmlData);
} else {
trace("file not found");
public function getetailsfrmXML(details) {
trace(employee_xml.toString()+" mkmop");

Mail 4.6 not loading one of 3 accounts

Suddenly yesterday, one of my 3 email accounts that I keep on Mail 4.6 is not loading. It is my most heavily used account - so sometimes it takes longer to load - but it tried all day and never completed. It links to a yahoo account - which I can get to via a browser. So the problem is in the mail utility.
I tried paring down the amount of mail existing in the mailboxes - both online and on my mac - but it doesn't seem to be helping.
I also noticed that my disk space was mysteriously disappearing. I started with 6Gb free - and suddenly I was getting messages indicating that I was dangerously low on disk space. When I shut down mail - and left it off for several minutes - the missing disk space reappeared.

6GB is not really enough - you should be aiming for 20. What disk capacity have you? Do you know what is using it?

Flash not loading after install...

Snow Leopard was working perfectly until the most recent update. When I initially upgraded, I updated flash, as we know snow leopard shipped with the previous version of flash. However, after Apple released an update to address flash and other security updates, flash only loads occasionally. I notice more when trying to view youtube videos. The videos don't fully load and I have to constantly try and refresh the page until it eventually loads. Anybody else experiencing this issues or have come up with a solution??
Thanks.

Hi,
*"as we know snow leopard shipped with the previous version of flash"*
You didn't need to update your flash plugin afer installing SL.
Go here and follow the instructions to UNinstall Flash Player
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html
Then reinstall Flash player.
