I have developed a Facebook application using Flash as3. In this application when ever the user finished the test, a certificate URL is posted on user wall. the url is encode with Turkish character user first name and user last name.In certificate swf file it reads the url and display the user name on the jpg. This work great with English users but the problem arrives when the user name is in Turkish. I am attaching the jpg of the main problem, you can clearly see the url is looking good, but when i copy past the url i get the same result as display on the picture.
My Certificate Swf code is
package {
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.net.URLLoader;
import flash.net.URLVariables;
import flash.external.ExternalInterface;
import com.adobe.images.JPGEncoder;
public class main extends MovieClip {
public function main() {
valuePairs = new Array();
nextValuePare = new Array();
var search:String = ExternalInterface.call("window.location.href.toString");
//var vars:URLVariables = new URLVariables(search);
valuePairs = search.substring(search.indexOf("?")+1).split("&");
trace(valuePairs);
var map:Object = new Object();
for (var i:int = 0; i<valuePairs.length; i++)
{
nextValuePare = valuePairs[i].split("=");
trace(nextValuePare);
map[nextValuePare[0]] = nextValuePare[1];
}
picture.fbookName.text = String(map["fName"]) +" "+ String(map["lName"]);
}
private var _urlLoader:URLLoader;
private var _urlVariable:URLVariables;
private var valuePairs:Array;
private var nextValuePare:Array
}
}
You should URL encode your URL with the top level function encodeURI(). Then in the swf that extracts the names from the URL use decodeURI().

I have a script for multi-language-use working when added to the first frame of a timeline. However, when I try to adapt it to work in an external .as script, it throws a TypeError and I can't figure out why.
Here is the code that works in a timeline:
import fl.data.DataProvider;
import fl.text.TLFTextField;
import flash.text.Font;
import flashx.textLayout.elements.*;
import flashx.textLayout.formats.*;
//------------------
// CREATE TLFTEXTFIELD:
var field_001:TLFTextField = new TLFTextField();
field_001.x = 20;
field_001.y = 50;
field_001.width = 342
field_001.height = 54;
field_001.background = true;
addChild(field_001);
// Create text format
var format:TextLayoutFormat = new TextLayoutFormat();
format.fontFamily = "Arial";
format.fontSize = 36;
format.color = 0x666666;
// Apply the format
var textFlow:TextFlow = field_001.textFlow;
textFlow.hostFormat = format;
//------------------
// SETUP LOCALE OBJECT:
var languages:Object = new Object(); // Stores flags for loaded languages
var localeDefault:String = "ar"; // Default language
var locale:String = "ar"; // Current language selected in combobox
// Event handler for Locale object
function localeLoadedHandler(success:Boolean):void
{
if( success )
{
// Mark language as loaded and show localized string
languages[locale] = true;
field_001.text = Locale.loadStringEx("IDS_FIRSTFIELD", locale);
// field_002 is a field already on stage
field_002.text = Locale.loadStringEx("IDS_SECONDFIELD", locale);
}
}
// Load the default language...
Locale.setDefaultLang(localeDefault);
Locale.setLoadCallback(localeLoadedHandler);
trace("Locale.getDefaultLang() is: " + Locale.getDefaultLang());
Locale.loadLanguageXML(Locale.getDefaultLang());
Here is my adaptation to an external script and set up as the class for a standalone swf called "tempchild.swf" I want to open inside a parent swf at a later time:
package com.marsinc {
import fl.text.TLFTextField;
import flash.text.Font;
import flashx.textLayout.elements.*;
import flashx.textLayout.formats.*;
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import fl.lang.Locale;
public class tempchild extends MovieClip {
//------------------
// SETUP LOCALE OBJECT:
private var languages:Object; // Stores flags for loaded languages
private var localeDefault:String; // Default language
private var locale:String; // Current language selected in combobox
private var field_001:TLFTextField;
private var format:TextLayoutFormat;
public function tempchild()
{

//------------------
// CREATE TLFTEXTFIELD:

field_001.height = 54;
field_001.background = true;
addChild(field_001);
// Create text format
format = new TextLayoutFormat();
format.fontFamily = "Arial";

format.color = 0x666666;
// Apply the format
var textFlow:TextFlow = field_001.textFlow;
textFlow.hostFormat = format;
// Load the default language...
Locale.setDefaultLang(localeDefault);
Locale.setLoadCallback(localeLoadedHandler);
trace("Locale.getDefaultLang() is: " + Locale.getDefaultLang()); // displays "es"
Locale.loadLanguageXML(Locale.getDefaultLang()); // this line returns an error
}
// Event handler for Locale object
private function localeLoadedHandler(success:Boolean):void
{
trace("running the loaded handler");
if( success )
{
// Mark language as loaded and show localized string
languages[locale] = true;
field_001.text = Locale.loadStringEx("IDS_FIRSTFIELD", locale);
//field_002.text = Locale.loadStringEx("IDS_SECONDFIELD", locale);
}
}
}
And this is the error in the output window:
TypeError: Error #1010: A term is undefined and has no properties.
at fl.lang::Locale$/loadXML()
at fl.lang::Locale$/loadLanguageXML()
at com.marsinc::tempchild()
Been digging around for an answer for a couple days now and I am stuck. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

You can make it .as file in one of (at least) two ways
1) copy paste all exactly as it is to .as file and do:
include "[path]filename.as"
2) change the code to be a class
- make field_001, format, textFlow, languages, localeDefault, locale as public vars
- insert all code in a function named "init"
- add the "localeLoadedHandler" as a function
- click on your stage and change in the properties panel the stage's class to the new class
Good Luck!!
I am relatively new to AS3. I am having a few code issues at the moment i am hoping for some advice on this forum.
Basically, i am creating a form for my website. I have one combobox and I want The user enter their email address and password into the fields.
Then click on the submit button to sign in and to validate what they entered is correct. When i run my code in real-time i get an error
1120: Access of undefined property status_Txt. I dont know what status_Txt means.
I copied a large section of this code from a tutorial i read. My code is below: Can someone please tell me how i can resolve this problem.
import flash.net.URLVariables;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
import flash.net.URLLoader;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import fl.data.DataProvider;
import flash.events.Event;
//Building the variables
var phpVars:URLVariables = new URLVariables();
//Requesting the php file
var phpFileRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://www.example.com");
phpFileRequest.method = URLRequestMethod.POST;
phpFileRequest.data = phpVars;
//Building the loader
var phpLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
phpLoader.dataFormat = URLLoaderDataFormat.VARIABLES;
phpLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, showResult);
//Variables ready for processing
phpVars.email = txt_input.text;
phpVars.p_swd = pass.text;
phpLoader.load(phpFileRequest);
btn_one.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, btnHandler);
function btnHandler(event:MouseEvent):void{
trace("Login success");
}
//Validate form fileds
function showResult(event:Event):void{
status_Txt.text = "" + event.target.data.systemResult;
trace(event.target.data.systemResult);
}
var cbox:Array = new Array();
boy[0] = "Male";
girl[1] = "Female";
c_one.dataProvider = new DataProvider(cbox);
c_one.addEventListener(Event.CHANGE, dataHandler);
function dataHandler(e:Event):void{
trace(e.target.value);
}
}
You're attempting to access an object that doesn't exist. status_Txt is being referenced in:
function showResult(event:Event):void{
status_Txt.text = "" + event.target.data.systemResult; //Either remove this or add a textfield to the stage with the instance name status_Txt
trace(event.target.data.systemResult);
}
I've completely run out of ideas on this. It follows, and is part of my previous question:
embedding a font in a swf using as3
I just don't seem to be able to get the flash.text.engine to use my embedded font. NB the font has to be loaded into the application (as embedded in swf) after the user has chosen the two languages (for translation to and from). There seems to be a little info implying that it is now necessary to use the fontswf application which is in the sdk. I have tried this and produced loadable swf files but I can't find any info on how these are then loaded (i.e. the getDefinition and registerFont bits below don't work as there are no classes in these swf) and applied to text.engine objects. The source for the embedding is in my answer to my question above. This is a test as3 which demonstrates how it doesn't work!
package
{
import flash.display.Loader;
import flash.display.Shape;
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.text.engine.ElementFormat;
import flash.text.engine.FontDescription;
import flash.text.engine.TextBlock;
import flash.text.engine.TextLine;
import flash.text.engine.TextElement;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
import flash.text.Font;
public class Main extends Sprite
{
private var loader:Loader;
private var tl:TextLine;
public function Main():void
{
loader = new Loader();
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,fontLoaded);
loader.load(new URLRequest("EnglishF.swf"));
}
private function fontLoaded(evt:Event):void {
var FontClass:Class
FontClass = evt.target.applicationDomain.getDefinition("EnglishF") as Class;
try {
Font.registerFont(FontClass.myFont);
trace("successfully loaded " + FontClass);
// gives 'successfully loaded EnglishF'
} catch (err:Error) {}
var fontList:Array = Font.enumerateFonts();
for (var i:int = 0; i < fontList.length; i++) {
trace(fontList[i].fontName, fontList[i].fontType);
// gives 'EnglishF embeddedCFF'
}
var block:TextBlock = new TextBlock();
var font:FontDescription = new FontDescription("EnglishF");
var formt:ElementFormat = new ElementFormat(font, 30);
trace(FontDescription.isFontCompatible("EnglishF","normal","normal"), formt.fontDescription.fontName);
// gives 'true EnglishF'
formt.color = 0x882233;
var span:TextElement = new TextElement("Hello World. This is certainly NOT in the Font provided!", formt);
block.content = span;
tl = block.createTextLine();
tl.x = 10;
tl.y = tl.ascent + 10;
addChild(tl);
}
}
}
Am I doing anything wrong, or is this impossible?
Hopefully this will help. Under this line:
var font:FontDescription = new FontDescription("EnglishF");
add the following line:
font.fontLookup = FontLookup.EMBEDDED_CFF;
This will let the text framework know that you're using a CFF font (used in the new text framework), instead of a regular embedded font (used in TextFields).
Hope this helps.

I need to list the files under a local folder on web browser(flex app).
How do i change the properties of flash player so that it will browser list the files?
Help would be appreciated.
You can use FileReference.
However, in a web browser you are locked into only using this function if there is user interaction( IE:a mouse click ).
Anything over then this would be a major security risk and Flash player will not allow it.
There is nothing that can be done about this.
With that being said if you can do without a browser you can access it through an Air app without having to deal with the security issues.
The flash player in a browser does not have the ability to browse the files on a server. You will need to use server-side scripting, such as PHP, to make this data avaiable.
The file browser in flash player just browses the users local hard drive.
Here is my code:
// ActionScript file
import flash.display.*;
import flash.events.*;
import flash.net.FileFilter;
import flash.net.FileReference;
import flash.net.FileReferenceList;
import flash.utils.ByteArray;
import mx.collections.ArrayCollection;
import mx.controls.Alert;
private var fr:FileReferenceList;
[Bindable] private var zfls:Array;
[Bindable] private var zfile:FileReference;
[Bindable] private var zipfl:ArrayCollection;
private function folder():void
{
fr = new FileReferenceList();
fr.browse([new FileFilter("Zip Files", "*.zip")]);
fr.addEventListener(Event.SELECT, listZipFiles);
}
private function listZipFiles(event:Event):void
{
Alert.show("selectHandler: " + fr.fileList.length + " files");
zfile = new FileReference();
zfls = new Array();
for (var i:uint = 0; i < fr.fileList.length; i++)
{
zfile = FileReference(fr.fileList[i]);
//Alert.show("Length of zfile is " + zfile.size);
zfls.push(zfile);
}
//Alert.show("Is the File comming in?" + zfls);
zipfl = new ArrayCollection(zfls);
//Alert.show("Length of zipfl is" +zipfl);
}
and then i m binding zipfl to a comboBox.
I have a flash file here, when the flash plays, it works fine, but in IE and if the flash was already loaded once and is now cached, it freezes up. After digging super deep on the internet I was able to find out the following:
There are a bunch of known bugs in
flash 9 and 10, one of those being an
issue with the Event.COMPLETE not
being fired from the main stage when
loading from cache when it's embedded
WMODE = "transparent" I'm not sure if
that's your issue, but it's worth
looking into. I've heard of a few
workarounds to the problem. One of
them being, not listening for for
progress or complete events at all and
just using a timed loop like
ENTER_FRAME or TIMER to watch the
bytesLoaded/bytesTotal.
My WMODE is window, but this makes the most sense to me. The loadText never gets set which tells me its not entering swfProgressHandle function. However the problem is I only wrote half this flash (everything inside init) in conjunction with someone else, but that other person I cannot get in contact with anymore. I am fairly new to flash so really don't know how to take his loading code and make it only run off timer events instead of progress and complete events (as said in the above quote) so that it will work in IE when cached. Can anyone help me on this? Most of the code is fine, it's just the beginning where those progress and complete handlers are for loading stuff that appears to be causing the issue.

If you dont mind the flash loading every time and not using the cache you could just append a cache breaker to the swf url.
Any random thing will do.
Here's a example using swfobject (http://code.google.com/p/swfobject/)
<script type="text/javascript">
var flashvars = {};
var params = {};
var attributes = {};
swfobject.embedSWF("myContent.swf?rand="+Math.random(), "myContent", "300", "120", "9.0.0","expressInstall.swf", flashvars, params, attributes);
</script>
This should work around any IE cache bugs.
If you still get the error with this, then it's should not be cache related.
After taking a quick look at this, I can see what might be happening.
You listen for ADDED_TO_STAGE.
You handle ADDED_TO_STAGE and then start listening for PROGRESS.
You then set the loadText, and load the XML if progress is "done".
The problem here seems to be the "done" part and the progress handling. First, the
loaderInfo object has a COMPLETE event. Why not use it? (http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/langref/flash/display/LoaderInfo.html)
Then you could skip the whole bytesLoaded/bytesTotal check.
Where I think the applicatation might be freezing is when the loaderInfo has cached resources and skips the "PROGRESS" step altogether. Then you would never get into the LoadXML code, and never, therefore, parse the xml.
You can install firebug in Firefox and check whether you're even attempting to load the XML file using the "net" tab. (or use a tool like filemon).
