I found this post and I used the code almost exactly to how they suggested. It doesn't work. Do I need to add something in the php? What am I doing wrong?
Am I missing an import?
Thanks
Here is my code:
my php link is: www.mySite.com/example.php?id=true
var search:String = ExternalInterface.call("window.location.search");
var vars:URLVariables = new URLVariables(search);
if(vars.id)
{
/// Do something
}
Found answer here but doesn't work for me.
How to get/obtain Variables from URL in Flash AS3
You forgot to get rid of the page address:
var search:String = "www.mySite.com/example.php?id=true";
var vars:URLVariables = new URLVariables(search.substr(search.indexOf("?")+1));
if(vars.id) trace(vars.id);
Provided that you are sure that the address contains ? and actual variables you are looking for.

This is what RSS looks like: https://reddit.0qz.fun/r/dankmemes/top.json
My script perfectly parses "title", "description" and other items tags from the RSS. But it doesn't parse "content:encoded".
I tried this:
item.getChild("content:encoded").getText();
And this:
item.getChild("encoded").getText();
And this (found on Stackoverflow):
item.getChild("http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/content/","encoded").getText();
But nothing works... Could you help me?
The namespace is important for the getChild and similar methods to parse the content successfully.
Your third example is close, but you have the parameter order backwards, and you need to use the XmlService.getNamespace method, not a raw string. (The signature is getChild(string, namespace), not getChild(string, string).)
This one is tricky as the namespace should be included for some of the elements, and not for others. I am not an XML expert, so I don't know if this is expected behavior or not. The minimal example script below does find and log the text of the <content:encoded> elements using getChild, but I was only able to figure out when to include or exclude the namespace through trial and error. (If anyone has further info on why this is, please let me know in the comments.)
function logContentEncoded() {
const result = UrlFetchApp.fetch("https://reddit.0qz.fun/r/dankmemes/top.json");
const document = XmlService.parse(result.getContentText());
const root = document.getRootElement();
const namespace = XmlService.getNamespace("http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/content/");
const channel = root.getChild("channel"); // fails if namespace is included
const item = channel.getChild("item"); // fails if namespace is included
const encoded = item.getChild("encoded", namespace); // fails if namespace is EXCLUDED
console.log(encoded.getText());
}

You can scrape the page. With this code, i.e., You can get the first content of <content:encoded> tags.
function getDataFromJson() {
var url = "https://reddit.0qz.fun/r/dankmemes/top.json";
var fromText = '<content:encoded>';
var toText = '</content:encoded>';
var content = UrlFetchApp.fetch(url).getContentText();
var scraped = Parser
.data(content)
.from(fromText)
.to(toText)
.build();
Logger.log(scraped);
return scraped;
}
I want to clone a TextureMaterial, modify it and keep the original and the clone for later use.
What I did so far is following:
var BT:BitmapTexture = defaultMaterial.texture as BitmapTexture;
var BD:BitmapData = BT.bitmapData;
var clone:BitmapData = BD.clone();
var newBT:BitmapTexture = new BitmapTexture(clone);
transparentMaterial = new TextureMaterial(newBT, false, true);
transparentMaterial.lightPicker = defaultMaterial.lightPicker;
But the cloned TextureMaterial does not look like the original (see attachment). Can anyone help me with that problem please? I think i am missing some important information from the texture? uv-coordinates maybe or something like that.
I also posted my problem here with an additional image as attachment: http://away3d.com/forum/viewthread/5956/
I solved the Problem. It was just one wrong parameter. I enable mipmaping for the clone, but the original does not have mipmaping enabled.
The working Soulution looks like this:
clone = new TextureMaterial(original.texture, true, true, false);
clone.lightPicker = original.lightPicker;
Ok, the code below is my code for reading in a file, that seems to work cross platform.
private function read(e:MouseEvent):void{
file = File.applicationDirectory;
var xmlFilter:FileFilter = new FileFilter("xml", "*.xml");
file.browseForOpen("XML Documents", [xmlFilter]);
file.addEventListener(Event.SELECT, fileSelected);
}
Next I have a button in mxml that launches this function:
private function write(e:MouseEvent):void{
TextFile.write(xml.toString(), file.url);
trace(file.url)
}
This function works on a Mac, but does not work on PC. Any thoughts?
BotMaster - I found the answer before you posted, but your answer is correct. Add it as an answer, I will delete my post and give you a +1.
i am asking a very basic question. my problem is that i want to write url string like below
http://example.com/index.html/sometext
but when i write url like index.html/ it results in page not found. if url only upto index.html then it works. is there any way to write it in html pages. Please help Thanks
The URL you provided is not valid. The .html extension would be the end of the URL... with the format you've specified, it implies that another folder exists under index.html, which would never be possible. However, if you want to add parameters to the URL, you can add them like this:
http://example.com/index.html?text=sometext
You can then capture that data in your code.
EDIT
To answer the second question of how to pickup the URL parameters, you can use the method shown in this post:
http://www.jquerybyexample.net/2012/06/get-url-parameters-using-jquery.html
Basically, create a function as follows...
function GetURLParameter(sParam)
{
var sPageURL = window.location.search.substring(1);
var sURLVariables = sPageURL.split('&');
for (var i = 0; i < sURLVariables.length; i++)
{
var sParameterName = sURLVariables[i].split('=');
if (sParameterName[0] == sParam)
{
return sParameterName[1];
}
}
}
And you can use it like this:
var text = GetURLParameter('text');
You either want to use a QueryString like http://example.com/index.html&someVar=sometext
Or you will want to enable mod_rewrite to transform incoming urls to something that your backend technology understands.
There are lots of frameworks that enable you to use those fancy URLs like http://example.com/index/someText, for example Laravel for PHP or, ASP.NET MVC, or ...
[UPDATE]
Problem fixed. Working code and method updated below!
So, I am trying to post a comment to a SoundCloud track using the SoundCloud api in AS3.
The documentation can be found here:
http://developers.soundcloud.com/docs/#comments
And my code is as follows:
var urlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
var urlString:String = "https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/" + soundModel.currentlyPlayingItem.id + "/comments.json" + "?comment[body]=" + commentString + "&comment[timestamp]=" + trackPositionComment;
var urlRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest(urlString);
urlRequest.method = URLRequestMethod.POST;
var variables:URLVariables = new URLVariables();
variables.oauth_token = soundModel.userToken; //here is the filler variable to make POST, not GET.
urlRequest.data = variables;
urlRequest.contentType = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded";
var header2:URLRequestHeader=new URLRequestHeader("oauth_token",soundModel.userToken);
var header3:URLRequestHeader=new URLRequestHeader("client_id", "sdjhb4jhbkjbe4gkjbh4random");
urlRequest.requestHeaders.push(header2);
urlRequest.requestHeaders.push(header3);
urlLoader.addEventListener(HTTPStatusEvent.HTTP_RESPONSE_STATUS, commentPosted);
urlLoader.load(urlRequest);
Originally I was consistently getting a 401 - unauthorized error.
After playing around with the SoundCloud API console, I saw that there was a 'content-length' of 0, meaning no body. So all the authentication stuff had to be going in headers, not variables. However, with POST method in AS3 UrlLoader, it will automatically send as a GET if there is no body (variables) included. So for that reason I left an arbitrary variable value.
Also the two parameters, 'body' and 'timestamp' indeed have to be sent as 'comment[body]' and 'comment[timestamp]' even though this isn't quite made clear in the documentation. Also both of these parameters have to be included in the URL, and not as variables or headers.
Finally, to get a authorized return, you must provide both your 'client_id' and 'oauth_token' as headers.
It was this magic combination that did it for me. I hope this helps some other people, ready to rip their hair out like I was.
Thx,
Theo M.
