Check this video out at Hi-Res here: www.tutvid.com Welcome to this video tutorial! In the following video we will learn how to load text from a text file sitting on a web server and display it in flash using dynamic text and actionscript. We will also learn how to load jpg,gif,png, and swf files using actionscript. All of the files loaded into our flash movie will be loaded from an external web server! Actionscript 2.0 is the actionscript version used in this video. Please enjoy responsibly and check out the site www.tutvid.com
ty soooo much ive been trying to do this forever with bad software!!!
maybe this is what i need…i’ll do it tomorrow…..you are the man…
I’m trying to make this work, as2.0, flash8, and leaving out the dynamic text portion. I dont know what Im doing wrong!
I was able to make this work with text, but when I try to lead a .swf (an image gallery) I am getting a Security Sandbox Violation! I am trying to figure out how to fix the security settings but this is such a headache! Can anyone help me? I’m trying to make it so my client can update their own photos on the server.
have a seat over there…
he sounds a bit like chris haaaaansen
Not if you upload it to a website, only if you’re using it locally on your computer.
Dude.. you have no idea how much this video (with lack of better words) saved my ass. I can honestly say, I learned more from you than I did from my (well-paid) instructor regarding dynamic content. I will send you a link to my finished class project when I get it done… I couldn’t have done it without this! I can now successfully load external SWF files into my main SWF! YOU ROCK!
man this is not a question.. This is 10 at least tutorials on how just to make a variable being shared online…
Did you try to make it Actionscript 2.0 file?
This doesn’t work in flash CS4.
thanks for the reaction
NO….
hi, and thnx for the vid. i got a question, does there have to be a special permission for that txt file when uploaded? to be honest ive set its permission to 777, from its default 664, but it still doesnt load. also when i put it’s url on the web browser it shows me a blank page, but the title is the page is the name of my txt file. i was wondering if you could help me out here. thnx
Can you make a flash chat box??
More appretiate if you answer this question:.
can the url also be like C:DocumentsUserimg1.jpg ??
Thank you in advance
