Hi
I am new to actionscript, but I know C,C++ some Java, Javascript ASP, PHP.
Since I have learned many different programming languages in the past I have not a little list of short programs I want to be able to in any language ( I have discovered these programs are a good basis to start).
List Item Read a text File:
OK I have read the book(s) and I am afraid too late saw your tutorial when I had already got that far with the usual blood and tears.
I can read a a text file and pop one record of 4 field of data onto a Flash form - but my file has more records and I only see the last one reported.
It looks like actionscript does not deal in records as return/enter is just passed as data.
This is my text file:
&Name=Pat Proggie&Email=pat@hotmail.com&Header=About this 'er Flash feedback form&Msg=This Flash feedback form is the bees knees&
&Name=Andy Handy&Email=andyHandy@yahoo.com&Header=Your site stinks&Msg=Your site stinks carry on I like it!&
&Name=Able Cable&Email=able@cabel.net&Header=Great Site&Msg=Tell me more.&
The Code:
[FONT=Times New Roman]//-------------------------------------------------
// I expect to read a text file called
// “feedbackFile.txt” and place data fields into
// the display form "Reporting Text from a File
// this code only displays the last record
// so only 1 record on this file
// would be OK for input variables like rates/discount values
//
feedback_lv = new LoadVars();
feedback_lv.onLoad= onText;
feedback_lv.load(“feedbackFile.txt”);
var sometext = feedback_lv.toString();
//
function onText()
{
name_txt.text = feedback_lv.Name;
email_txt.text = feedback_lv.Email;
header_txt.text = feedback_lv.Header;
msg_txt.text = feedback_lv.Msg;
}
