Re: [Flashcoders] Loading string data in a file from a server
No i cant use XML since eventually it will be a PLS file (Winamp Shoutcast), I wrote a library that parses a PLS file (Playlist file from Winamp Shoutcast server) (http://code.google.com/p/as3plsreader/) this all works fine from with AIR, IF I have the file already saved to local disk.

Re: [Flashcoders] Loading string data in a file from a server
Just a thought, but if it works when saved locally, could you maybe save it as a cookie on the users computer? That may be a nice shortcut, since its just a playlist.

Re: [Flashcoders] Loading string data in a file from a server
Well it depends on what you're trying to do with the loaded data.
If all you want is to load it and write to disk, then the format doesn't really
matter.
As mentioned earlier, to write the loaded data to disk you use a combination of
a File instance and a FileStream instance.
Should be examples of that in the docs.
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/AIR/1.5/devappshtml/WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d118666ade46-7e4a.html
The following will load the data, when loaded, ask where to save it, and then
write that data to the file you selected.
private var plsData:String;
private function appInit():void {
trace(Application ::: appInit);
var plsURL:String =
http://www.funky-monkey.nl/air/stringtest/serveFile.php;;
var plsReq:URLRequest = new URLRequest( plsURL );
var plsLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader( plsReq );
plsLoader.addEventListener( Event.COMPLETE , plsLoaded );
}
private function plsLoaded(evt:Event):void {
trace(Application ::: plsLoaded);
var value:String = plsData = evt.currentTarget.data;
trace(value);
var f:File = new File();
f.addEventListener(Event.SELECT, fileSelectHandler);
f.browseForSave(Save Data);
}
private function fileSelectHandler(evt:Event):void {
trace(Application ::: fileSelectHandler);
var f:File = evt.currentTarget as File;
trace(- nativePath: , f.nativePath);
// create filestream, open it and write data to file
var fs:FileStream = new FileStream();
fs.open(f, FileMode.WRITE);
fs.writeUTFBytes(plsData);
fs.close();
}

Hi Muzak,
This is not exactly what i want to do but it comes close (and i cant

The whole 'prompt user for saving a file' i want to avoid, but the
below code looks like what i wan to do:
var f:File = evt.currentTarget as File;
trace(- nativePath: , f.nativePath);
// create filestream, open it and write data to file
var fs:FileStream = new FileStream();
fs.open(f, FileMode.WRITE);
fs.writeUTFBytes(plsData);
fs.close();
Thanks for the help, will let you know if it worked.

Re: [Flashcoders] Loading string data in a file from a server
Well that was just an example :)
Here's how to do it without the save file dialog:
private function plsLoaded(evt:Event):void {
trace(Application ::: plsLoaded);
var value:String = evt.currentTarget.data;
trace(value);
var f:File = File.desktopDirectory;
f.url += /playlist.pls;
trace(- url: , f.url);
trace(- nativePath: , f.nativePath);
var fs:FileStream = new FileStream();
fs.open(f, FileMode.WRITE);
fs.writeUTFBytes(plsData);
fs.close();
}
The above will create a file called playlist.pls on your desktop.
Some stuff on security:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/AIR/1.5/devappshtml/WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d118666ade46-7e5b.html
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/AIR/1.5/devappshtml/WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d118666ade46-7e59.html
From the above:
quote
AIR applications cannot modify content using the app: URL scheme.
Also, the application directory may be read only because of administrator
settings.
Unless there are administrator restrictions to the user's computer, AIR applications are privileged to write to any location on the
user's hard drive.
Developers are advised to use the app-storage:/ path for local storage related
to their application.
/quote
To get to the application storage directory rather than the desktop, in the
above example, use:
var f:File = File.applicationStorageDirectory;

Re: [Flashcoders] Loading string data in a file from a server
Hi Sid,
It might be worth using a web traffic proxy such as Charles to make
sure that your AIR app is issuing a sensible HTTP request to the web
server i.e. that the thing you have which works in the browser is
actually the same as the request issued by the AIR app. I'm not sure
this can be a security error if you're not getting a security error
thrown?
It's not something like the web server issuing a redirect, is it? So
browsing to that URL works fine, but accessing via a request from AIR
fails? Again, Charles could tell you.

The docs about this on the net are very limited. This is what i
thought of so far:
- It could be a crossdomain error?
- I do handle all events?
- I tried a loading in a PHP file that uses fopen to serve me the
file
Do anyone have any ideas? I just want to read in this text file
( or any other file with string data from my server ) or should i
use FileStream to read in the file? Eventually the contents of
the file i load in will will need to be a File Object ().
Thanks in advance,
Sidney
Below is my code:
var xmlURL:String = http://www.funky-monkey.nl/air/stringtest/serveFile.php
;
var xmlReq:URLRequest = new URLRequest( xmlURL );
var xmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader( xmlReq );
//listen for error events
xmlLoader.addEventListener( IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR , onIOError );
xmlLoader.addEventListener( SecurityErrorEvent.SECURITY_ERROR ,
onSecurityError );
xmlLoader.addEventListener( Event.COMPLETE , xmlLoaded );
function xmlLoaded(evt:Event):void {
trace( evt.target.data)
}
function onIOError(evt:IOErrorEvent):void {
trace( evt.text)
}
function onSecurityError(evt:SecurityErrorEvent):void {
trace( evt.text )
}

Re: [Flashcoders] Loading string data in a file from a server
Some things that pop to mind;
- Can i add data to a File Object?
- Can i create a new temporary File Object and and string data to it?
I save it in memory and pass it through to the rest.
Hope you can hel me with this,
Greets,
Sid

Re: [Flashcoders] Loading string data in a file from a server
And when you trace out you do get the contents of the file? Yup, I saw file content in debug window. If it does work, my question becomes something different; How do i convert the loaded in data (one big string) to a File object ? Use xml instead of text? - Can i add data to a File Object? - Can i create a new temporary File Object and and string data to it? Nope and nope. The data property of a File object is read only. Check the docs. You typically use a File object in combination with a FileStream instance to read/write to disk. http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/langref/flash/filesystem/File.html http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/langref/flash/filesystem/FileStream.html I save it in memory and pass it through to the rest. Depends on what the rest is, but you can pass a File object around, just like any other object. regards, Muzak - Original Message - From: Sidney de Koning sid...@funky-monkey.nl To: Flash Coders List flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com Sent: Tuesday, April 21, 2009 4:49 PM Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] Loading string data in a file from a server Hi Muzak, And when you trace out you do get the contents of the file?
