Loading External TXT Data

Hi all,
plz visit -
http://www.vision-divine.com/samples/test.swf
to see what i
mean
I am using FlashMX and i have the following -
. a multiline dynamic box > named "mytext"
. 2 triangiular up/down arrows for scrolling .
. text database file > named "apartments.txt" which
contains titles and
their respective individual swf filenames
. a blank movie for loading swfs > named "mymovie"
HOW DO I ACHIEVE THE FOLLOWING-
. List of apartment titles should load from text file in the
dynamic text
box.
. up/down arrows should scroll the data and display other
titles
. On rollover of the title, the title should turn red in
color
. On click of the title, it should load the respective swf
file (eg: on
click on apartment title it should load apartment1.swf) in
the target
movie named "mymovie"
the text database file (apartments.txt) has the following-
&total=30&
&title1=Apartment Title 1&link1=apartment1.swf&
&title2=Apartment Title 2&link2=apartment2.swf&
&title30=Apartment Title
30&link30=apartment30.swf&
Thank u

check out flashkit.com search "scrolling text box" and your
half way there! replace the txt file with a swf you make with a
list of buttons which does what you want them to.

Loading external XML data into XMLObject

hey all,
i've been working on a basic fl2 app that generates a list of
posts from an external XML file located on my server
(www.omedia.mobi/forum.xml) The swf file is also located there in
the same directory .(crime.swf).
The app runs fine in the emulator, both when i tried to load
the data locally on my mac, and when i load it from the server. But
when i put the swf file on my N70, it fails to load the data.
I'm banging my head against a wall trying to get this sorted.
has anyone had any similar experiences?
any help would be apprieciated...
many thanks
Matt

Matt–
Dumb question, are you 100% sure that your phone is making
any connection to the internet? Does your phone read a name/value
variable from an external file?
I just build a file to test this (It won't work
online—it will only work on a phone.):
http://punchkickinteractive.com/development/mobileConnectionTest/mobileConnection.swf
The FLA is also up:
http://punchkickinteractive.com/development/mobileConnectionTest/mobileConnection.fla
Also, you can check out:
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/devices/articles/flashlite11_rss.html
quote:
//Some of the code from the FLA:
canLoad = _capLoadData;
if (canLoad == 1) {
urlPath = "
http://punchkickinteractive.com/development/mobileConnectionTest/mobileConnection.txt";
loadVariables(urlPath, _root);
} else {
connection = "client does not support loading dynamic data";
// where "connection" is the variable name of the text field
If the connection is present, then I think I know what is
wrong. Let me know.

Load external XML into DataGrid with AS3

I've really looked hard to find an example/tutorial for
loading external XML data into a DataGrid component using AS3. The
code I'm using at the moment has the XML data in the AS code. If
anyone can point me to a good resource(s) for code or a tutorial
I'd be very appreciative. It needs to be AS3. ~steve
Here is the code that is working for internal XML data:
import fl.controls.dataGridClasses.DataGridColumn;
import fl.data.DataProvider;
stop();
var emailXML:XML = <emails>
<email date="06-04-07" code="EMRPAAV" campaign="This is
the campaign details."/>
<email date="06-11-07" code="EMRPAAW" campaign="This is
the campaign details."/>
<email date="06-18-07" code="EMRPAAX" campaign="This is
the campaign details."/>
<email date="06-25-07" code="EMRPAAY" campaign="This is
the campaign details."/>
<email date="07-02-07" code="EMRPAAZ" campaign="This is
the campaign details."/>
<email date="07-09-07" code="EMRPABA" campaign="This is
the campaign details."/>
</emails>;
var dateCol:DataGridColumn = new DataGridColumn("date");
dateCol.headerText = "Date";
dateCol.width = 60;
var codeCol:DataGridColumn = new DataGridColumn("code");
codeCol.headerText = "Source Code";
codeCol.width = 70;
var campaignCol:DataGridColumn = new
DataGridColumn("campaign");
campaignCol.headerText = "Campaign";
campaignCol.width = 300;
var myDP:DataProvider = new DataProvider(emailXML);
emailData.columns = [dateCol, codeCol, campaignCol];
emailData.width = 440;
emailData.dataProvider = myDP;
emailData.rowCount = emailData.length;
// end code

Here is how you build it for external XML. in my example am
using the same xml format that you are using . The xml file called
"dataGrid.xml"
import fl.controls.dataGridClasses.DataGridColumn;
import fl.data.DataProvider;
import fl.containers.UILoader;
import fl.data.DataProvider;
import fl.events.*;
import flash.xml.*;
var emailXML:XML;
var myList:XMLList;
function parseXML():void
var url:String = "dataGrid.xml";
var urlRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest(url);
var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
loader.addEventListener("complete" , loadXML);
loader.load(urlRequest);
/*var emailXML:XML = <emails>
<email date="06-04-07" code="EMRPAAV" campaign="This is
the campaign details."/>

<email date="07-09-07" code="EMRPABA" campaign="This is
the campaign details."/>
</emails>
parseXML();
function loadXML(evt:Event):void
emailXML = new XML(evt.target.data);
myDP = new DataProvider(emailXML);
emailData.dataProvider = myDP;
var dateCol:DataGridColumn = new DataGridColumn("date");
dateCol.headerText = "Date";
dateCol.width = 60;
var codeCol:DataGridColumn = new DataGridColumn("code");
codeCol.headerText = "Source Code";
codeCol.width = 70;
var campaignCol:DataGridColumn = new
DataGridColumn("campaign");
campaignCol.headerText = "Campaign";
campaignCol.width = 300;

Load external data into se-main-menu

hi,
i've tried to load external data (vars,files)into a selfmade
sony-ericsson-flash-menu for the w810i.
it is possible to load the data for the current active menu
via loadVariablesNum("application://focused", 0);
so i thought i could load some other stuff into the mainmenu.
i tried to load an swf with loadMovie/loadMovieNum.
i tried to load vars from a txt-file with
loadVariables/loadVariablesNum.
and i tried to open a webadress with getURL.
but nothing happens ... :(
the files (swf,txt) are in the same folder like the
mainMenu.(tpa\preset\system\desktop\flash)
maybe the w810 does not execute the swf in the same folder
where it is at the moment?!
is it possible to figure out where the swf is executed?
the _url command is not supported by flash-lite-1.x ...
some ideas?

External Data Refresh Failed. We cannot locate a server to load the workbook Data Model. ThisWorkBookDataModel

Hi All,
I have been trying to fix this for days now. I have tried solutions in many articles but to no avail. So while the error message is something you may have seen may times, I just can't find a solution in my case.
This is the error:
And in text just in case the image isn't viewable:
"External Data Refresh Failed. We cannot locate a server to load the workbook Data Model. We were unable to refresh one or more data connections in this workbook. The following connections failed to refresh: ThisWorkBookDataModel."
What is worse is I have checked the ULS (SharePoint Trace Logs), the Event Viewer Logs and the OWA Logs and I cannot find a specific error that would help pin point the problem.
Excel Workbook
So what am I doing? I have an Excel 2013 workbook and I create an "SQL Server" connection to the AdventureWorksDW database, add a pivot table and a pivot chart, test in in Excel and all works fine.
I save the Excel workbook to SharePoint 2013 and then select "Data" then "Refresh All Connections" and then I get the error in the picture above.
Even more puzzling is I have another Excel workbook that also has pivot tables and pivot charts in the AdventureWorksDW2012Multidimensional cube database in "SQL Analysis Services" and this works fine. Hmmm.
My Environment
My environment is Windows 2008 R2 Server, SharePoint 2013 with the April Service Pack1 and a separate server with OWA2013 SP1. It has an SQL Server 2008 R2 database which has been upgraded to SQL Server 2012.
Data Model Settings
In Excel Services this is set to my server name which is "server-name". As I do not have instances all I can enter is the server name. As this works everywhere else including the workbook outside of SharePoint I do not think this is the problem.
But I could be wrong.
Unattended Account
I have set this up for the PowerPivot Services App and Excel Services App.
ODC Connections in Excel
I have tried all 3 authentication modes, Windows, Secure Store ID and "None" which is the unattended account. I have not tried the other connection types, should I?
Not in WOPI
I am not in WOPI mode.
AD Accounts
I have added permissions in the SharePoint Services and SQL Server, and as they work in Excel outside of SharePoint, I do not think it is a permissions issue. I could be wrong of course, but the problem is in one of SharePoint, OWA, AD,
SQL Server, Excel, and Windows Server.
Isolate the Error
Below is a list of errors I think are relevant but they do not tell me much. The SharePoint logs are not really giving me an error that tells me what to do and where to do it, or even why it cannot refresh, (perhaps not noticeable by the untrained eye).
Problem with SQL Server Not Analysis Services
So my cube database in analysis services works fine in SharePoint/OWA but not the databases in sql server. This is my best clue but I have no idea what it means. Why would it work with an Analysis Services connection but not an "SQL Server" connection?
It Works Outside of SharePoint
If I run the excel worksheet outside of SharePoint all works fine. When inside OWA this is where the refresh error occurs.
Errors from Event Viewer on SharePoint Server using ULS Viewer
"Failed to create an external connection or execute a query. Provider message: There are no servers available or actively being initialized., ConnectionName: , Workbook:"
"Refresh failed for 'ThisWorkbookDataModel' in the workbook 'http://server...'. [Session: 1.V22.26itT0lx8piNFeqtuGVhN214.5.en-US5.en-US36.98c0e158-9113-46e9-850e-edda81d9ed1c1.A1.N User: 0#.w|ad\testuser1]"
And an error in the ULS under the "Data Model" category:
"--> Check Deployment Mode (server-name): Fail (Expected: SharePoint, Actual: Multidimensional)."
This last error, as it turned out, defined the problem concisely, although I was yet to work out what it meant in some detail.

I finally solved this myself (or should I say with the help of several key articles).
The refresh did not work because the database was not in "SharePoint Mode". Yes, SQL Server has modes, 3 of them in fact.
If you installed SharePoint to the default SQL instance which would be called <servername> then you cannot use this default instance for Excel 2013 workbooks in OWA 2013 because the refresh only works if the database is in SharePoint mode.
So what are these 3 modes? The Deployment Mode property in the msmdsrv.ini file has them as:
0 = Multidimensional mode (the default whenever you install SQL Server normally)
1 = PowerPivot for SharePoint mode
2 = Tabular mode mode
How do you know what mode you are in? That's easy, open SQL Studio Manager and connect to all your SQL database engine instances (ignore Analysis Services or SSRS as they are not database engines). If you only have the default instance then that is almost
definately in Multidimensional mode which is the default and what SharePoint installs its databases to.
You must have an instance called <servername>\POWERPIVOT. This instance is the "sharepoint mode" needed, and the default instance name when you install an SQL instance in this mode.
If you don't see <servername>\POWERPIVOT in SQL server then you are not in "sharepoint mode". It is more accurate to say, you do not have an instance that is in sharepoint mode. This is because you cannot simply switch modes on an SQL server.
You have to install a new instance in the required mode, thats the only way.
That's easy enough. Load up the SQL Server setup CD and run setup. Install a brand new instance and select "SQL Server PowerPivot for SharePoint" when you get there in the wizard.
Now you will have the default instance that stores all the SharePoint databases and that is in mode 0, and a new instance called <servername>\POWERPIVOT that is in mode 1. The "<servername>\POWERPIVOT" instance connection is what you
will use for Excel 2013 when rendering in OWA 2013.
You also need to ensure OWA 2013 is not in WOPI mode for Excel worksheets. See the last link below for more information about WOPI.
Next you should go to the Excel Service App in CA and click Data Model Settings and add the <servername>\POWERPIVOT instance.
Then you have to either turn off the firewall on the SQL server machine, or create an inbound rule on the Windows firewall to open the TCP port for the <servername>\POWERPIVOT instance:
1. Start Task Manager and then click Services to get the PID of the MSOLAP$InstanceName.
2. Run netstat –ao –p TCP from the command line to view the TCP port information for that PID.
Finally, you can now create Excel 2013 workbooks that run in OWA without refresh errors, as long as you are connecting to the <servername>\POWERPIVOT instance. Hooray.

How to load external data without using external tables

Hi,
I'm asked to develop an ETL for loading external data into a database but, unfortunately, the vers. is 8i so I can't use external tables.
I know that it's possible by using SQL-Loader. What I want to know is whether there's another way in 8i to load external data from a text file or a CSV file directly with a stored procedure without having to write CTL of SQL-Loader on the server. I mean, is there a way to write everything on the database the same manner I'd do whether I wrote data from a table to a file using for example UTL_FILE or the unique way is to write control files of SQL-Loader directly on the server?
Thanks!

Mark1970 wrote:
Thank you very much Karthick
I didn't know I could use UTL_FILE also for reading files. I've always use it only for writing data into external files.Yes you can use UTL_FILE to read. The version of oracle you are using i last used in 2004 :) Still remember giving the OS path of the file to open the file. That is long gone now. Its surprising that you are still in 8i.

SQL LOADER , EXTERNAL TABLE and ODBS DATA SOURCE

Why all of these utilities still failing to solve my problem ?
Is there an efficient way to reach this goal ?
Thanks in advance

export the dbase data file to text file,
then you have choice of using either sql loader or external table option to use.

Error 1 when loading external data

Hi BW( Best and Wise) friends,
I am not able to load data into my infocube. My source system is a PC file.
Message "Error 1 when loading external data is displayed." when scheduled.
When I checked the error details using Monitor button,
During extraction, the data request was arranged(indicated by green mark),but there was error in data request(red).
During extraction,data request was received (green),but there was some error in data selection(red).
Anticipating good solution.

HI all,
1.The flatfile matches with the transfer structure
2.The file is a .csv format file only.
3.The path is correct
I had chosen comma as my data separator.
I had declared fields in the following way in the XL csv file
Name of the candidate text
Name of the party- text
Age-number
Number of votes gained number
Calendar day text.
I had already tried the following.
When I clicked the preview in the external data tab of the infopackage, a window showing the preview parameters is opening. When I clicked the tickmark, message error 1 when loading data is displayed.
4. The details tab of the monitor showed the following:
Overall status : Errors occurred: or: Missing messages-red

I had initiated the discussion in the forum with this information only.

Fastest method to load external data?

Hi,
Currently we load external xml file and parse it for our
internal use.
However, parsing take time, is it possible to reduce this
step?
Such as serialize / de-serialize?
thanks.

Are you using Xpath API to parse your xml? This will help
some doing just queries but some parsing will still need to be
done.
Another solution is to not load xml but use Flash remoting.
Flash remoting is a binary format and much faster. WIth Flash
remoting you can pass all your items in the native formats defined
in PHP, ASP.Net, or ColdFusion.

Hi Carol-Ann,
The key issue here is
"KUP-04063: unable to open log file owb_county_timezone.log
OS error Permission denied".
Looks like you don't have sufficient system priviliges on Unix.
This is wat AskTom mentions about it:
"the directory must exist on the SERVER.
the concerned user is the "oracle software owner" as far as the OS is concerned.
oracle must have read write access to this directory
and the directory must exist on the SERVER (database server) itself."
Hope this helps.

NaN with loading external flv

Hi all
I'm having some strange diffulties which I can't solve.
I'm starting off with a website.swf which loads different
external swf's depending on the button that has been pressed.
One of those swf's is a file with different buttons to load
different external flv's.
While loading a flv a progressbar shows the percentage of the
loaded part of the flv
Now: If I play the first video file everything works fine
While switching to another button to load another flv during
the loading of the first flv, My percentage says NaN. and stops
loading.
On each button I say:
on (press) {
stream_ns.close();
connection_nc.close();
_parent.videoloader_mc.unloadMovie();
on (release) {
_parent.videoloader_mc.loadMovie("movies/binnenkomers01.swf");
This is the part I use for loading a flv in f.ex
binnenkomers01.swf.
stop();
delete _global.loaded_interval;

Data Refresh Error: We cannot locate a server to load the workbook Data Model.

Hello,
Recently I have developed a PowerBI Report using Excel Workbook with external data source. It refreshes successfully for some days and then starts throwing error on every scheduled refresh as "We cannot locate a server to load the workbook Data
Model."
The workaround solution is to restart the application server which has SQL Server Power Pivot Services Installed which will again work for some more days and again start throwing error.
So, I am looking for permanent fix for it.
Following are additional details about our SP Farm:
No. of front end servers: 2, Application servers:2, DB servers 2 with windows fail over cluster.
PowerPivot Server is installed and configured from App 2 server.
Error Log from event viewer:
Unable to load custom data source provider type: Microsoft.PerformancePoint.Scorecards.DataSourceProviders.AdomdDataSourceProvider, Microsoft.PerformancePoint.Scorecards.DataSourceProviders.Standard, Version=15.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c

FAQ: SWF's and loading external files in Flash Catalyst

How do I make the images in my Flash Catalyst project external to the published SWF?
You can choose whether images are embedded in your Flash Catalyst SWF, or loaded dynamically; this can help to keep your SWF's small. Simply right-click an image and chose "Externalize Image".

How do I make the SWF I imported to Flash Catalyst load external files?
When importing a SWF, Flash Catalyst only pulls the SWF asset into your project. Many SWF's, such as slideshows and media players, rely on external data files, such as configuration files or media assets. If you would like to use such a SWF in Catalyst, then you will have to place these external resources into your Catalyst project as well as importing the SWF.
Let's assume you have a SWF source folder that contains your SWF file and all of the external files it needs. You can open the SWF file from this folder and it works fine. But, if you import the SWF into Catalyst, the Catalyst project doesn't display it correctly because it can't load the external files. Here's what you do:
1. Open your swf source folder, and copy all of the files/folders there except the SWF you imported.
2. In Catalyst, Run/Preview your project (Ctl/Cmd-Enter)
2. Note the file path to Main.html in your browser
3. In your OS, open the folder that contains /bin-debug/Main.html from above
4. Open the "src" folder
5. Paste all of the files from step 1 into the src folder.
6. Catalyst won't pick up that your project changed, so tweak it a bit (add a Rectangle), and save it.
7. Run your project. If it doesn't work, try closing and reopening your project and running again.
For an example, check out: Using an XML-driven SWF in Catalyst to create a slideshow.

You can make you swf a custom component with 2 states.
The first state will be empty and rename it "OFF" the second state will have your swf file and name it ON.
Then go back to your artboard/project, add your 2 buttons ON & OFF.
For the ON button add interaction "play transition to custom component ON"
For the OFF button add interaction "play transition to custom component OFF"
Here is an example swf_control
