Problens with AS1 to AS3

[ThalesOstapiuk]

Hi dear friends

I'm too rusty with flash but today appearl a problem

I have this code is in AS1 and needs to be in AS3...

Is an RSS code with title and description only...

if some one can insert a picture, please tell...

titulo2 and texto2 are drop shadows

System.useCodepage = true;

loadNum = new Loadvars();

loadNum.onLoad = function (ok)

{

    var __reg1 = _root;

    if (ok)

    {

        __reg1.titulo.text = __reg1.loadNum.titulo;

        __reg1.titulo2.text = __reg1.loadNum.titulo;

        __reg1.texto.text = __reg1.loadNum.texto;

        __reg1.texto2.text = __reg1.texto.text;

    }

}

;

loadNum.load("rssnews.dat");

trace(numPics);

titulo2 and texto2 are textfields or your as1 code is incorrect.  (however, they may appear to be dropshadows because of offset and alpha manipulations.)

var urlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();

urlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,completeF);

urlLoader.load(new URLRequest("rssnews.dat"));

function completeF(e:Event):void{

var __reg1:MovieClip=MovieClip(root);

__reg1.titulo.text=XML(urlLoader.data).titulo;

etc

}

ok I tried but still not working

now I deleted that text that appears like dropshadows

var urlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();

urlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,completeF);

urlLoader.load(new URLRequest("rssnews.dat"));

function completeF(e:Event):void{

var __reg1:MovieClip=MovieClip(root);

          __reg1.titulo.text=XML(urlLoader.data).titulo;

          __reg1.texto.text=XML(urlLoader.data).titulo;

}

but the text doesn't appear...

[kglad]

use the trace function to debug:

var urlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();

urlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,completeF);

urlLoader.load(new URLRequest("rssnews.dat"));

function completeF(e:Event):void{

var __reg1:MovieClip=MovieClip(root);

trace(XML(urlLoader.data));

}

paste the (first 50 or so lines of) trace output in this forum.

Ok, thanks but now appear another BIIIIIIG problem...

the situation is it:

I have a led painel and in his playlist have a very very old rss reader ( I can't change it ), and it read from a .FLA  AS1 ( in flash player 6 )

flash player 6 doesn't run videos in .flv as background... So I exported the .swf in flash player 8 but appear this erro

output - undefined

Compiler errors - The identifier 'Loadvars' will not resolve to built-in object 'LoadVars' at runtime.

my action frame

System.useCodepage = true;

loadNum = new Loadvars();

loadNum.onLoad = function (ok)

{

    var __reg1 = _root;

              if (ok)

    {

        __reg1.titulo.text = __reg1.loadNum.titulo;

        __reg1.titulo2.text = __reg1.loadNum.titulo;

        __reg1.texto.text = __reg1.loadNum.texto;

        __reg1.texto2.text = __reg1.texto.text;

    }

}

;

loadNum.load("rssnews.dat");

trace (numPics);

Trying by AS3 it appear the text in the output

titulo=R7&texto=Forças russas enfrentam militantes antes dos Jogos de Inverno; 7 ...&

my code

var urlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();

urlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,completeF);

urlLoader.load(new URLRequest("rssnews.dat"));

function completeF(e:Event):void{

var __reg1:MovieClip=MovieClip(root);

                    trace(XML(urlLoader.data));

}

I just need to put these "titulo" and "texto" from .dat in two separeted dynamic texts (titulo, text)

[ThalesOstapiuk]

Hi guys

now I change almost everything and IT WORKED

my new code

var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();

loader.dataFormat = URLLoaderDataFormat.VARIABLES;

loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, loading);

loader.load(new URLRequest("content.txt"));

function loading (event:Event):void {

news_1.text = loader.data.var_1;

news_2.text = loader.data.var_2;

}

here works fine, but when I repleace my "content.txt" to "rssnews.dat" file to load, it appear

Error: Error #2101: The String passed to URLVariables.decode() must be a URL-encoded query string containing name/value pairs.

[kglad]

use:

loader.dataFormat="variables";

[ThalesOstapiuk]

where??

[kglad]

oops, that is the problem.  you added that code.

just use the code i suggested which uses urlLoader.dataFormat="text", by default and that is the correct format for reading rss data.

var urlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();

urlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,completeF);

urlLoader.load(new URLRequest("rssnews.dat"));

function completeF(e:Event):void{

var __reg1:MovieClip=MovieClip(root);

trace(XML(urlLoader.data));

}

[ThalesOstapiuk]

and where i put the dinamic texts ?

news_1.text

news_2.text

[kglad]

copy and paste the first 20 or so lines of that trace output here.

[ThalesOstapiuk]

the AS

var urlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();

urlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,completeF);

urlLoader.load(new URLRequest("rssnews.dat"));

function completeF(e:Event):void{

var __reg1:MovieClip=MovieClip(root);

trace(XML(urlLoader.data));

     __reg1.news_1.text = trace(e.target.data.titulo);

     __reg1.news_2.text = trace(e.target.data.texto);

}

The output

titulo=R7&texto=Forças russas enfrentam militantes antes dos Jogos de Inverno; 7 ...&

ReferenceError: Error #1069: Property titulo not found on String and there is no default value.

[kglad]

use:

var urlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();

urlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,completeF);

urlLoader.load(new URLRequest("rssnews.dat"));

function completeF(e:Event):void{

var __reg1:MovieClip=MovieClip(root);

var a:Array=e.target.data.split("&");

     __reg1.news_1.text = a[0];

     __reg1.news_2.text = a[1];

}

p.s. you may need to caste a[0] etc as a string

[ThalesOstapiuk]

Ok now the text appeared

but I don't want to see the "titulo=" and the "texto="

is possible?

thanks

[kglad]

use:

var urlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();

urlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,completeF);

urlLoader.load(new URLRequest("rssnews.dat"));

function completeF(e:Event):void{

var __reg1:MovieClip=MovieClip(root);

var a:Array=e.target.data.split("&");

     __reg1.news_1.text = a[0].split("=")[1];

     __reg1.news_2.text = a[1].split("=")[1];

}

[ThalesOstapiuk]
