Hey there,
Im going mad for 2 days now. ive got a php file which call the swf -> send a variable which the swf takes and send it back to the php -using sendAndLoadVars (which is the routing to the images folder). the php reads it (openddir etc…) then start creating the xml.
When the var has been successfuly sent back from php, it must call a function to load the xml. It does the trick but it does not read my children which is created via a for each in the php. It looks like the flash reads or get the var back before the php has fully created the xml. here the code:
//php
if(isset($_GET['filedir'])){ ///////THIS IS THE VAR SENT FROM FLASH //////
$file_dir = $_GET['filedir'];
$dir=opendir("../../" . $file_dir);
while (false !== ($file = readdir($dir)))//$file=readdir($dir) wrong way of reading
{
$ext = substr($file, strpos($file, ".")+1);
if(array_search($file, $exclude_files)===false && array_search($ext, $allowed_formats)!==false){
$f=$file_dir.'/'.$file;
$path []=$f;
}
}
closedir($dir);
}
$directory= $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];
$directory=dirname($directory);
//Removing words from modules
if($p = strpos($directory, "modules/")){
$directory = substr($directory, 0, $p);
}
$galleryBgColor = "0x00ffff";
echo "<?xml version='1.0' encoding='iso-8859-1'?>
";
echo "<gallery_thumbs>
";
echo "<gallerySetUp>
";
echo " <setUp bgColors=\"" .$galleryBgColor ."\"/>
";
echo "</gallerySetUp>
";
echo "<galleryBig>
";
///THE 4 CHILD HERE ARE BEING READ AND DISPLAYED BUT AS SOON AS I ENABLE THE FOREACH THERE IS NO CHILDREN IN THE GALLERYBIG
echo " <galleryPic location='http://localhost/yousemble_demo/images/flashgallery/gallery_001/002.jpg' />
";
echo " <galleryPic location='http://localhost/yousemble_demo/images/flashgallery/gallery_001/004.jpg' />
";
echo " <galleryPic location='http://localhost/yousemble_demo/images/flashgallery/gallery_001/005.jpg' />
";
echo " <galleryPic location='http://localhost/yousemble_demo/images/flashgallery/gallery_001/003.jpg' />
";
//foreach ($path as $val) echo '<pic src="'.'http://'.$directory.'/'.$val.'" title="" />';;
/* foreach ($path as $val) {
echo " <galleryPic location='http://localhost/yousemble_demo/images/flashgallery/gallery_001/003.jpg' />
";
} */
echo "</galleryBig>
";
echo "</gallery_thumbs>
";
HOW CAN I TELL FLASH TO READ THE XML WHEN IT IS FULLY CREATED
MY ACTIONSCRIPT
