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:

How to load data from a flat file which is there in the application server

HI All,
how to load data from a flat file which is there in the application server..

Hi,
Firstly you will need to place the file(s) in the AL11 path. Then in your infopackage in "Extraction" tab you need to select "Application Server" option. Then you need to specify the path as well as the exact file you want to load by using the browsing button.
If your file name keeps changing on a daily basis i.e. name_ddmmyyyy.csv, then in the Extraction tab you have the option to write an ABAP routine that generates the file name. Here you will need to append sy-datum to "name" and then append ".csv" to generate complete filename.
Please let me know if this is helpful or if you need any more inputs.
Thanks & Regards,

How to skip footer details when loading data from a .txt file

Loading text from a .txt file

I want to do something that should be VERY simple, but due to
Adobe's insistence on using #$%^ing tutorials instead of just
providing step by step instructions, it's very frustrating to
figure out how to do it.
All I want to do is load the contents of a text file into a
dynamic text field, but I can't figure out how to do it (I'm not
all that familiar with AS). I'm working with Flash 8. Please help.
Thanks.

Create the dynamic text box, and name it schedule.
Then, in the frame on the timeline that the text box resides
in, the corresponding actionscript would be used to create a text
variable and assign the text from a txt file to it:
loadText = new LoadVars();
loadText.load("externalfile.txt");
loadText.onLoad = function() {
schedule.text = this.textbody;
Where does the "textbody" variable come from? In the external
text file (externalfile.txt in this example), you have a variable
called textbody, and the externalfile.txt should read along the
lines of:
textbody = "I'm the external text that needs to be read
in"

How to retrieve IndividualStrings from a txt file using String Tokenizer.

hello can any one help me to retrieve the individual strings from a txt file using string tokenizer or some thing like that.
the data in my txt file looks like this way.
Data1;
abc; cder; efu; frg;
abc1; cder2; efu3; frg4;
Data2
sdfabc; sdfcder; hvhefu; fgfrg;
uhfhabc; gffjcder; yugefu; hhfufrg;
Data3
val1; val2; val3; val4; val5; val6;
val1; val2; val3; val4; val5; val6;
val1; val2; val3; val4; val5; val6;
val1; val2; val3; val4; val5; val6;
i need to read the data as an individual strings and i need to pass those values to diffarent labels,the dat in Data3 i have to read those values and add to an table datamodel as 6 columns and rows depends on the data.
i try to retrieve data using buffered reader and inputstream reader,but only the way i am retrieving data as an big string of entire line ,i tried with stringtokenizer but some how i was failed to retrive the data in a way i want,any help would be appreciated.
Regards,

Hmmm... looks like the file format isn't even very consistent... why the semicolon after Data1 but not after Data2 or Data3??
Your algorithm is reading character-by-character, and most of the time it's easier to let a StringTokenizer or StreamTokenizer do the work of lexical analysis and let you focus on the parsing.
I am also going to assume your format is very rigid. E.g. section Data1 will ALWAYS come before section Data2, which will come before section Data3, etc... and you might even make the assumption there can never be a Data4, 5, 6, etc... (this is why its nice to have some exact specification, like a grammar, so you know exactly what is and is not allowed.) I will also assume that the section names will always be the same, namely "DataX" where X is a decimal digit.
I tend to like to use StreamTokenizer for this sort of thing, but the additional power and flexibility it gives comes at the price of a steeper learning curve (and it's a little buggy too). So I will ignore this class and focus on StringTokenizer.
I would suggest something like this general framework:
//make a BufferedReader up here...
do
String line = myBufferedReader.readLine();
if (line!=null && line.trim().length()>0)
line = line.trim();
//do some processing on the line
while (line!=null);So what processing to do inside the if statement?
Well, you can recognize the DataX lines easily enough - just do something like a line.startsWith("Data") and check that the last char is a digit... you can even ignore the digit if you know the sections come in a certain order (simplifying assumptions can simplify the code).
Once you figure out which section you're in, you can parse the succeeding lines appropriately. You might instantiate a StringTokenizer, i.e. StringTokenizer strtok = new StringTokenizer(line, ";, "); and then read out the tokens into some Collection, based on the section #. E.g.
strtok = new StringTokenizer(line, ";, ");
if (sectionNo==0)
//read the tokens into the Labels1 collection
else if (sectionNo==1)
//read the tokens into the Labels2 collection
else //sectionNo must be 2
//create a new line in your table model and populate it with the token values...
}I don't think the delimiters are necessary if you are using end-of-line's as delimiters (which is implicit in the fact that you are reading the text out line-by-line). So the original file format you listed looks fine (except you might want to get rid of that rogue semicolon).
Good luck.

Saving and Loading variables in a .txt file (Offline)

I'm working a software we've done with Flash, but we'd want
people to be able to save the variables they selected. We need them
to be able to save the value of about 10 variables in a file on
their desktop, and then be able to load that file again.
Is it possible to do that without having to use php or stuff
like that (that's why we want to make it an offline applications so
we don't have to use php to be able to save files).
I know Actionscript looks a lot like Javascript and with
Javascript it's really easy to do, but all the saving functions are
blocked in Flash for security reasons.
If anyone knows how to do that, to simply save and load a
.txt file, please let me know. If it would be possible also to
change the .txt to whatever else it would be even better. The file
can still be opened in Notepad but at least it looks a bit more
professionnal to have our own extension. Again in Javascript or
with a .bat file it's really easy to save variables to whatever
type of file, even to non existing types, it simply creates a text
file with an unknown ending.
Thanks!

I found a page that explains in a really easy way how to
communicate with Javascript if the flash object is contained in an
html page, but I couldn't find any page explaining how it works if
it's not in an html page. On our side, before using the software
we're creating we'll convert it to a .exe. How can we call a
Javascript from that .exe since we can't incorporate the Javascript
in the container since there isn't really a container... Is there a
way to link to a Javascript (.js) that would be in the same folder
as the .exe? Or would there be a way to incorporate the Javascript
right into the .exe?
Let me know if any of you have a solution for that.
Thanks!

Loading Variables from a php file

Im trying to get the stats from a shoutcast radio stations
into flash so i can manipulate them into a nicer looking site.
Anyway, ive identified the line on which the stats are
updated (its in a php file, line 48):
<stong>Current
Song:<marquee>
Morel's Grooving Again - That Melody [Morel's
Groove Mix]
and i was wondering the following things:
is it possible to have flash load only this line of text from
the php file,
how do i get flash to recognise "<stong>Curren Song" as
the variable
how to get flash to recognise the colon sign as meaning that
that is waht the variable is equal to,
and how, once flash recognises the parameter, to remove the
formatting code from the text.
Or is there an easier way of getting this variable into
flash, like using some kind of self-updating html file...
help would be much appreciated.
thanks

Assigning a value to a variable from a .txt file

Hello, I'm having a slight problem doing this.
I have a text file called text.txt, and within it is the text "one two" (minus the speechmarks).
I'm simply trying to assign the second one of these words, (i.e. "two"), to a string variable of mine called second.
import java.util.*;
import java.io.*;
public class Class
    public static void main() throws FileNotFoundException
        FileReader file = new FileReader("C:\\Documents and Settings\\Admin\\Desktop\\numbers.txt");
        Scanner scanner1 = new Scanner(file);
String first = scanner1.next();
//String second =   // this is the part I don't know.
System.out.println(first); //this works fine, and shows "one"
System.out.println(second) // this is what I'm trying to make work, by showing "two".
}I hope I've explained myself clearly.
Thanks a lot, I'm really struggling with this seeminly-simple problem.

The Scanner API has good examples of how to use the class's methods. Try
String second =scanner1.next();And change the name of your class from "Class" to something else. Java uses that name for one of its classes.
