How to save & load in iOS

Howdy again.  I didn't see this question asked anywhere, I mean I couldn't find a single question in the director forum asking about file operations in iOS.  'How to handle Save & Load events for Director iOS App' recommends doing save and load stuff in the event handlers 'onActivateApplication' and 'onDeactivateApplication'.  But how am I supposed to do the actual file read and write ... if none of the Xtras work on iOS then how do I write to files and read from files?

I'll give it a try.  It seems a bit odd that the only way to write or read file data in Director on iOS would be named as preference API functions.

  • How to save/load player stats?

    Okay..this should be my last for a while. The last thing I need to know is how to be able to save/load player stats. I'm working on an RPG and need to know how to create a save file with the players hp, mp, lvl, weapons, and so on, and then be able to load it back later on in the game. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Okay, if this helps any, in one of my JFrames, It
    displays the following:JFrames have nothing to do with it. Try to separate your GUI from your data and "business logic," both in your mind and in your code. The data and logic are what they are, whether there's a GUI or not. The GUI just displays the data, takes input from the user, and kicks off this or that bit of the logic.
    name, lvl, hp, mp, def, att, exp all stored as 'int's
    with the exception being name since it's a string. You should define a class (Player or Character might be a good name) that encapsulates that data. That class should be Serializable, or you should use the XMLEncoder/Decoder. Either way, you can just write an instance of that class to a stream, and then later read it back from a stream. I guess you want that stream to go to a file, but that's independent of how you write/read it.
    I
    need those variables saved to a file (name doesn't
    matter to me), then reloaded the next time the player
    starts the game. I want to be able to have multiple
    save files. Does the user pick the file name? What do you mean "multiple save files"? One for each user? Or any given user able to save multiple different games in progress?
    In any case, saving and reloading many files is no different than one file. Either way you need a way to know or select the file name. But all the work you do is the same.
    I guess this sounds a little hard, butNo, not at all. Just slightly unclear on certain details of the requirements and on what part in particular is hanging you up.

  • How to save/load JTextPane to/from file?

    One of the simplest questions re Swing.
    How to save a JTextField onto a file?
    And, how to read back it onto a newed JTextPane?
    Yes, I have searched, searched and searched on the net, in vain.

    Assuming he's wanting to do the reasonable thing, I'm trying to do it too.
    linuxoid, I suspect he (and I) are looking for a way to save the contents. After all, a control that you can't get the information out of is pretty useless.
    Styled text is often just a BLOB to the rest of the app. It is in my case, and it probably is in his.
    I'm having the same trouble he is.
    I want to make a JTextPane, let the user edit it, then get some reasonably portable representation of it's current contents that I can serialize. A string representation of XML sounds dandy. Incomprehensible binary is acceptable. A representation in some markup language that I can insert in some other document and have it act like I'm inserting text in the editor would make me more than happy.
    Ideally, what I, and probably he, are looking for is something like
    JTextPane myPainIsGreat = new JTextPane();
    ... life goes on...the user writes poetry and turns the words tacky colors...
    String thisICanDealWith = myPainIsGreat.getStyledTextRepresentation();
    knowing better I'd settle for
    myPainIsGreat.writeStyled(someWriter)
    sadly, JTextPane's write just returns unstyled text

    my  ipod touch is 3rd gen how can i update my ios from 4.2.1 to 5.1.1 when i shift + restore and load the ipod3_5.1.1.ios its always say your firmware is not compatible

    I suspect you have a 2G iPod. Those can only go to iOS 4.2.1.

    iPod touch (3rd generation)
    iPod touch (3rd generation) features a 3.5-inch (diagonal) widescreen multi-touch display and 32 GB or 64 GB flash drive. You can browse the web with Safari and watch YouTube videos with Wi-Fi. You can also search, preview, and buy songs from the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store on iPod touch.
    The iPod touch (3rd generation) can be distinguished from iPod touch (2nd generation) by looking at the back of the device. In the text below the engraving, look for the model number. iPod touch (2nd generation) is model A1288, and iPod touch (3rd generation) is model A1318.

    How do I load the latest iOS version to my original iPad?

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    The easiest way is to connect it to iTunes on your computer with the USB cable. Tap on the iPad in the devices list in iTunes and choose update from the options in the iTunes window.
    Depending on which OS the iPad is running currently, you may also be able to do it wirelessly.

  • How to save a game  and then load

    My final project of BSCS (Bachelor of Science in Computer Science) is a Multiplayer online Board game...Distributed Ludo...
    This project is in its final steps and I�m facing some difficulties.
    I do not know how to save the game and load it again. Can anybody guide me to the process?

    Saving a game is just persisting the data required for the game.
    Loading a game means reading the saved data and setting the attributes of the game (and player and ...) to start exactly the point where it was saved.
    So the steps to save are
    1. Identify the data necessary for retaining the same state when needed.
    2. Decide the data file format and structure.
    3. Get the snapshot of necessary attributes
    4. Save the data using APIs
    Steps to load are
    1. Read the data using APIs.
    2. Set the game attributes.
    3. Update the model and view accordingly.
    Hope this helps.

  • How long should it take iOS 6.1 to load on my iPhone?

    How long should it take iOS 6.1 to load on my iPhone? It's been 3 hours and it is stuck in the same part of the download.

    I now have the new phone. The order number is still not appearing on My 02.
    It turns out that when I bought the phone, it was assigned a new sim card/telephone number. Now there are two phone numbers on my o2 account - the one I use, the one that came with the new phone.
    The order number is appearing under the new sim card's phone number, not the one I intend to use.
    Hopefully, O2'll be able to update the order and link it to the telephone number I use. It's not a major problem (at all) but I'd rather have it connected to the number I use than a random number that came with the phone.

  • How do u close the apps when done with them to save power with iOS 7

    How do u close the apps when done with them to save power with iOS 7

    To close out apps, simply double click the home button and instead of holding down the app icons and clicking on the X mark in older versions, you have to swipe the app window up and away.
    Also you can save on battery by turning of background app refresh from settings .... See this article for details , http://nyacomputing.com/how-to-close-out-background-apps-in-ios-7-and-save-on-ba ttery/

  • I hv iPhone with ios 6.0.2 My iphone could not able to check for update-it's just showing "checking for updates" with loading sign How can I upgrade to ios 7?  Help pls

    I hv iPhone with ios 6.0.2
    My iphone could not able to check for update…it’s just showing “checking for updates” with loading sign
    How can I upgrade to ios 7?
    Help pls

    I agree- I apologize if I sounded skeptical and attacking. In no way did I mean it to sound that way.
    I completely agree on the software-hardware combo issue- this is why apple killed off 1G and 2G devices- because newer software revisions would never ever run well if at all on such ancient devices. can you imagine running iOS 6 on an iPhone/iPod touch 1G? That would be terrible. Let alone iOS 3 runs terrible on them and now are generally rendered useless due to newer App Store requirements (most require 4.3+ now to allow apple to kill off the older devices). forcing newer software on older hardware (apple, dell, HP,... Anything electronic this definitely applies to) will almost always yield less-than-par results. The other part is apple forcing you to upgrade by means of intentially making things obsolete. all companies do that.
    All of this factual info aside, the issue at hand with the 5 is not a software-hardware combo problem- those are most widely seen with the major revisions. then again, this isn't the first time apple has gotten caught up in battery drain snafus (even iOS 5 was plagued with this as well- and now there are some people desperate to roll back but can't). it basically waters it down to the point where keeping the stock software will always yield the best results even though newer versions provide better features- it all depends on whether or not the person deems the added features are worth a performance hit.
    PS. I'm still at 100%- and I've been using it periodically throughout the day. your combo worked for you, but didn't for me. And may or may not work for others- As the tech world would say, mileage may vary.
    PSS. What model/carrier do you have? Just wondering.

  • How to save html response when execute a siebel load test.

    First at all excusme for my english.
    I need help to manage html response. I use OpenScript Version: 9.3.1.0 Production.
    When i execute a siebel load test, some of the VU returns the error "12152 the server response could not be parsed". Mi boss asked me an image or html response to analize the error. But i dont now how to get it.
    I search in all logs but i didn´t find nothing usefull.
    Anyone know how to save the html response when execute a load test?
    Thanks.
    Gabriel.

    "First at all excusme for my english."
    => are you french? I am! So no problem of course ;-)
    Which ATS version do you use? Because starting with 12.1, you have a better VU Logging capabilities.
    From the OLT user guide:
    The virtual user logs window has the following toolbar options:
    Open - Opens an existing virtual user log.
    Save as CSV - Exports the current VU log to a comma-separated value file.
    Clear - Clears the virtual user logs.
    View Text - Displays the source HTML for pages accessed by the virtual user.
    Render HTML - Displays actual pages as accessed by the virtual user.
    Auto Display - Displays pages as they are received by the viewer.
    See if it can help.
    If not, maybe you could implement some logics in OpenScript, but i wouldn' advice that.
