AS3: outputting trace() content to external txt file

the question's in the title. ive got a swf but i've gotta run
it on a nokia n800, which means trace() content will be lost and -
boy! - do i need it!
so how can i set my swf up to output its trace content to an
external txt file?

hello kglad
well, not 'lost' thats misleading, sorry. i mean: the swf
will be running on a browser outside the flash authorising
environment so the output window won't be accessible, therefore i
need a way of printing out the trace() output to another source.
the help files say that trace() can output to the output window OR
to an external txt file. only it doesnt actually go on to say quite
HOW you can output to said external txt file, rather
irritatingly..

Calling a variable from a external txt file that is equal button name

Hello
I have a variable in an external txt file that is = the name
of my button. I have loaded the file in to flash in an object
called my_lv.
How do I make line three in the code valid ?
_root.map.name1900.onRollOver=function() {
this._alpha=20;
txName=my_lv.+(this._name); // this line is wrong!! I need
to place name1990._name in side the ().

do you have an object called "my_lv" and a child object have
named as "name1900" . ie "my_lv.name1900"\
if i am right then...
>> txName=my_lv.+(this._name); //
should be
txName= eval("my_lv."+ this._name)

How can use TestStand 2013 to input this data into local string array varaibles? I also have legacy testers running TestStand 3.5, so I need a TestStand 3.5 solution as well. Thanks in advance for any ideas. Hopefully this can be done in TestStand without the use of LabView or LabWindows/CVI.

Daniel E., thanks for the reply.
     It is very frustrating to have to implement workarounds in order to access text in an external file when using TestStand. TestStand already reads in text ini files, so it would probably take a TestStand software developer all of 1/2 day to write the code and 1/2 day to debug it. Here I will restate the obvious. Engineers have to deal with data, sometimes data generated from other applications. Sharing data in a text file is one of the most basic functions (and one of the easiest to implement). When I think of all the effort needed to support ActiveX, but NI did not see it fit to give TestStand users simple text file read/write functionality, it does not make sense to me. Maybe it was too simple or mundane a task so it did not get developed? Whatever the reason, I think users of TestStand deserve this basic functionality.
     Even if TestStand cannot read the data directly into array variables, it should provide some mechanism to read the text from the file, either line by line or all file text into a string, so the data could then be parsed into the array variables I need.
     I will pursue a CVI or LabView solution. Please also know that I am not directing these comments at you, I do appreciate your reply.

Callout and a list in an external MXML file

Hi,
I have made myself a few viewnavigator nested in a viewtabbednavigator, in the top right end side there is a callout button that I want it to populate it's content with external MXML file that is basically just a list.
The only way I found it is if it autohide the masterview and you need to pop the first tab view. I would just like the callout button to open an external MXML that is within my project. The help that I saw only did
no render the option I wanted execpt in portrait mode but even there it's part of the viewtabbednavigator and I could do without it.
Any help would be appreciated
Thank you, Stephan

Dynamic Text with external .txt files

I need help getting dynamic text to display. I've used the
following tutorials (among others).
http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/dynamic_scroller.htm
http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/multiple_dynamictext.htm
In Flash 8 on last frame of maintimeline of movie, I have a
layer with a background image, 2 buttons and a dynamic textbox
(made scrollable) with scrollbar component. Textbox is given a var
of "content", and an instance name of "textBox", which is
referenced in scrollbar parameters.
I have created 3 text .txt files, and saved them to same
folder with movie .swf file. Text in files is preceeded by
"content=" on line preceeding text to correspond with var of
dynamic textbox. The files were created in Rich text format on Mac
OSX4.11 and saved with .rtf extension, then file extension was
changed to .txt (wouldn't save as .txt)
I've added the following actionscript to this last frame:
loadText = new LoadVars();
loadText.load("TEXTintro.txt");
//creating the loadVarsText function
loadText.onLoad = function(success){
if (success){
textBox.text = this.content;
else{
trace("Error loading external content");
Buttons have an instance name assigned with the following
actionscript:
on (release) {
loadText = new LoadVars();
loadText.load("TEXT1.txt");
loadText.onLoad = function(success){
if (success){
textBox.text = this.content;
else{
trace("Error loading external content");
When I test movie, I can see buttons on last frame of movie,
but they don't load any text when pressed, and "undefined" text
appears in upper left corner of text box before I press either
button.
I am getting the following Output errors:
**Error** Scene=MoonOfWintertime, layer=TextBox,
frame=2500:Line 1: Statement block must be terminated by '}'
on (release) {
**Error** Scene=MoonOfWintertime, layer=TextBox,
frame=2500:Line 11: Syntax error.
**Error** Scene=MoonOfWintertime, layer=TextBox,
frame=2500:Line 1: Statement block must be terminated by '}'
on (release) {
**Error** Scene=MoonOfWintertime, layer=TextBox,
frame=2500:Line 11: Syntax error.
Total ActionScript Errors: 4 Reported Errors: 4

No more output errors, buttons still not working, but I got
my intro .txt file to load in textbox that loads with frame using
the following code I tried from another tutorial:
loadText = new LoadVars();
loadText.onLoad = function() {
textBox.html=true;
textBox.htmlText = this.textContent;
loadText.load("TEXTintro.txt");
Tried the following code with buttons, but doesn't work.
Other code suggestions?
on (release) {
loadText = new LoadVars();
loadText.onLoad = function() {
loadText.load("TEXT2.txt");
on (release) {
loadText = new LoadVars();
loadText.onLoad = function() {
textBox.html=true;
textBox.htmlText = this.textContent;
loadText.load("TEXT1.txt");
}

Access a component inside external swf file

Hi, I loaded a external swf file that it is a dialog.
var swfLoader : Loader = new Loader();
var swfURL : URLRequest = new URLRequest("dialog.swf");
swfLoader.load(swfURL);
swfLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,imgLoaded);
function imgLoaded(event:Event):void
var movie : * = swfLoader.content;
var clip : MovieClip = movie;
parent.addChild(clip);
Now, inside the movieClip there is a TextField component
named message that i want to change its 'text' property.
The question is: How can i access to this property to change
it?
Regards

okay,
I have the image component in ProductCatalogThumbnail.mxml, which has an id of "img"
so, i created a public variable in the file and a public function that returns the value of the object.
public var imagecopy:Object;
        [Bindable]
         public function imagecopyfunction():Object{
         imagecopy = img;
         return imagecopy;
now, I want to access this image in the mxml file ProductList.mxml in a function
public function init():void
      ProductCatalogThumbnail.imagecopy.addEventListener( MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, beginDrag );
   // accepting a drag/drop operation...
     this.area.addEventListener( DragEvent.DRAG_ENTER, acceptDrop );
     // handling the drop...
    //this.area.addEventListener( DragEvent.DRAG_DROP, handleDrop );
I tried to use the variable, and then i tried to use the function:
I got this error when I tried the variable : 1119: Access of possibly undefined property imagecopy through a reference with static type Class.
ProductCatalogThumbnail.imagecopy.addEventListener( MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, beginDrag );
and this error when i tried the function: 1061: Call to a possibly undefined method imagecopyfunction through a reference with static type Class.
ProductCatalogThumbnail.imagecopyfunction().addEventListener( MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, beginDrag );
i made sure i imported ProductCatalogThumbnail file in the beginning of my application.
I am not sure what went wrong.

How to open and edit "*.txt" file with "Notepad"

Hello guys!
I'm facing problem with SharePoint 2010 Enterprise and got no clue how to solve it.
What I want to do is to open "*.txt" (which is placed to "Documents Library") in "Notepad", so I could edit it and save (publish) directly to SharePoint from "Notepad".
If I upload any Microsoft office File, such as "*.docx", "*.xls", etc - it works as it should - document opens in appropriate application and everybody is happy.
But, when I create documents library, put some "*.txt" file there and click on it - it opens in new browser's tab as text, so I cannot edit the file.
What I tried to do is to activate feature "Open Documents in Client Applications by Default" - not happy.
Edit "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\TEMPLATE\XML\DOCICON.XML" - I've modified "txt" entry as follows:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<DocIcons>
    <ByProgID>
    </ByProgID>
    <ByExtension>
<Mapping Key="txt" Value="ictxt.gif" EditText="Notepad" OpenControl="SharePoint.OpenDocuments"/>
    </ByExtension>
    <Default>
        <Mapping Value="icgen.gif"/>
    </Default>
</DocIcons>
Still not happy.
So, how do I make this stuff work?

Found this link which has more information on this scenario:

Error 36 and External Drive File Copy Problem & USB Connections

In attempting to copy a folder with some 200G+ of files from my iMAC, with OSX 10.6.7, to an external portable WD 1Tb HD, newly formatted to HFS+ (journaled), and connected to the iMAC via a USB cable to the USB port on the iMAC keyboard, I kept getting an error message that Finder could not complete the operation as some data couild not be read or written and transfered, and gave the "Error Code -36". After some searching ont he internet for this error code I came across a host forums discussiong the error code BUT all referred to it being the result of MAC OS hidden "dot-underscore" companioned files being created when the MAC OS X file system copies or moves files to a FAT16 or FAT32 volume. This was not the situaion in my case a both drives were OS X formatted HFS+. Eventually I came across a very vague reference to the error also occuring when the cable connection with the external HD was not solid. I reconnected my external HD and attempted the file transfer again - with the same result. Eventually I decided to plug the external HD into a USB pot on the back of the iMA itself, rather than the keyboard set. Sure enough the error issue disappeared - the transfer successfully completed.
So my question relates to the "usb connection" challenge with iMAC. the iMAC has only 4 USB ports on the back directly. I did have two desktop external HDs plugged into 2 of these USB ports at the back of the iMAC, as well as a WACOM pad device into the 3rd, and an EPSON 3880 printer into the 4th, and so was forced to employ the ports ont he keyboard for portable HD. So - what's the answer in a situation where the 4 are insufficient and it would appear that the keyboard ports seemed to be unpowered?? Any suggestions?

It's actually a Time Machine backup drive which is formatted in Mac OS Extended (Journaled). I wish I'd copied the exact error message.
I believe it was something to the effect of "Error 36: The file could not be copied because some of the date could be be read/written" or something along those lines. Next time it comes up I'll copy it. I have Drive Genius running with DrivePulse, but it doesn't ever seem to start.
My biggest concern is that this is a sign that the drive is failing. When backing up, it also slows, or stops midway through and just hangs there. Though I haven't done a lot of extensive testing on that because if the drive is failing, I don't want to speed that process up any more.
To add to the complication, there is a second external drive which Time Machine is also backing up for me. There is one particular file, the Virtual Machine file, I was trying to get off the other external drive and it produced the same problem. That's when I went into Time Machine to try and retrieve the file that way and it did the same thing. The other external drive is making some sounds, but it doesn't sound like a distinct clicking, more like a more pronounced version of the normal constipated hard-drive sound. The Time Machine drive, isn't making any obviously strange sounds at all.
So, I can't tell whether the drives are failing or if it could actually be that particular file itself causing some strange problems.

Writing and reading txt file, GUI components

<b>HI GUYS I AM JUST NEW TO JAVA AND I AM TRYING TO LEARN SOME MORE IN JAVA. SO I NEED HELP FROM YOU GREAT GUYS WHO KNOWS MORE & MORE THING THAN ME. I CODE A GUI FOR THIS PROGRAM. THE CODE IS BELOW. <b/>
This program has to read a txt file to create Food objects which will consist of a food name, a serving size, and a number of calories. A text file is read which contains the calories contained in specific food items. From this data, an array of Food objects will be created and used to populate a combo box for user selection. The Food objects will also be used in calculating the balance calories for a given user on a given day.
User input will be used to create User objects which will be user name, age, gender, height, weight, and Food Diary objects (composition). The Food Diary objects will consist of Date (composition), Food object (composition), number of servings, and a balance. Food Diary objects will consist of the activity on any given day (see text area in sample output screen below). All User objects are saved to a file as objects and can be retrieved on subsequent runs of the program.
The program will calculate the number of calories the user is allowed per day to maintain the user�s current weight (see below for formula to use for this).

Flv and external swf files

Hi,
Does somebody knows what is happening?
I'm using the mcLoader class to load all my external swf
files, everything worket perfectly until I decided to use
flvPlayBack on one of those external files. If the player is on my
main stage it works great and if I run directly the loaded swf it
also works, but now when i run the external swf through the
mcLoader the player doesn't appears.
my mcLoader code:
var mcLoader01:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();

Hi,
You said swfs are Flash 8. Did you also set them to
Actionscript 2? If it's
Actionscript 3, that may be the problem. You may be
interested in looking at the

Refernce files and external edited files

Hello,
i am testing Aperture and i was wondering if it was possible to use only refernced files.
in my Library there are only refernced files. But if I use PS to edit an files - aperture creates a working copy that will be editet an after PS saved the file Aperture as the updated copy stored in the library.
the library-file is increasing the amount of the filesize of the saved picture.
Is there anyway not to save the edited file in the library but have it as a refernced file in the library while using that very nice workflow?
Thanks
Maverick

Is this true???
My experience is that Ap creates either psd or tif file and exports it out to PS. Once editing is done, Ap reimports the edited files into Ap Library and not just modification data (since PS does change the image at pixel level, not non-destructive). The result is each tif/psd file is increasing the library size by 50+mb, depending on size of your original image.
Since I only use referenced masters, would you please be kind enough to tell me what option/steps I need to take so that, either the externally edited file gets automatically stored in the folder that the master file is, or if Ap truly only keep mod data, how I do that?
Currently, I export manually, and edit the file directly in PS and save, then re-import the edited image as referenced master and stack with the original raw. Cumbersome, but the file stays referenced in my folder where the original raw file is.
Thanks...

Reading/getting external .txt files

Hi,
I want to display the content of a .txt files (which is located in the src folder) inside a TextBox (or ChoiceGroup, or Form). How do I do this yea? For instance, the TextBox constructor is TextBox(String title, String text, int maxSize, int constraints) rite, how do I fit in the file reading function or value that I get from reading the .txt file into it yea?
Thanx!

what do u mean by build the .txt file into the jar?{color:#0000ff}http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/deployment/jar/index.html{color}
i tried the examples from ... ...In future, please do not post on long-dead threads. One of those threads you posted on was from 2002.
Reviewing your initial post and the silly question about the TextBox constructor, I think you are not quite ready for this task. You need to go back to basics and learn the Java language. The Sun Java Tutorials are a good place to start.
This comment is not meant to discourage you, it is a statement of fact. A good foundation is a must for any developer, or indeed in any sphere of activity.

Special Characters and Importing .TXT files

I am trying to import a .txt file that has special Characters. The ñ works correct, but the ® does not import correctly. Any Ideas?

What is strange is that if I open the .txt file up on a windows machine the ® is there.
When placing your text file, check the "Import Options" box. You can choose platform, encoding, and, um, um, something else. But you need to specify Windows platform, I think. You might need to specify your encoding as well. You can use an app like TextWrangler or Ultraedit or something else to figure out your text encoding. Or you can use the Drunkard's Walk algorithm: just keep trying encodings randomly until you find the one that works.
