mnet flash addition
Monkey Targets Forums/Flash/mnet flash addition
| ||
| I attempted to add a flash target to mnet but I have never programmed in as3 ive had a few difficulties.. I have code which works provided you call it twice, as the first time you call it, it doesn't wait long enough for the process to finish to return the correct data. Anyone able to add to this a way of making it wait? flash.mnet.as
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.net.URLLoader;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
class mnet{
private static var newstring:String = "";
private static var timeout:int = 5000;
static public function HttpGet(Url:String,timeoutConnection:int, timeoutSocket:int):String{
var reqURL:URLRequest = new URLRequest(Url);
var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader(reqURL);
loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, handleComplete);
loader.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS , progressHandler);
loader.dataFormat = URLLoaderDataFormat.TEXT;
timeout = timeoutConnection;
function progressHandler(event:ProgressEvent):void {
//Do nothing while the url is loading
}
function handleComplete( event:Event):void
{
var loader:URLLoader = URLLoader(event.target);
newstring = loader.data;
}
return newstring;
}
}

Can't you do something like this?: (untested)import flash.events.Event;
import flash.net.URLLoader;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
class mnet{
private static var newstring:String = "";
private static var timeout:int = 5000;
public static var isDone:bool = false;
static public function HttpGet(Url:String,timeoutConnection:int, timeoutSocket:int):String{
isDone = false;
var reqURL:URLRequest = new URLRequest(Url);
var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader(reqURL);
loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, handleComplete);
loader.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS , progressHandler);
loader.dataFormat = URLLoaderDataFormat.TEXT;
timeout = timeoutConnection;
function progressHandler(event:ProgressEvent):void {
//Do nothing while the url is loading
}
function handleComplete( event:Event):void
{
var loader:URLLoader = URLLoader(event.target);
newstring = loader.data;
isDone = true;
}
return newstring;
}
} |

No effect :(
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.net.URLLoader;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
class mnet{
private static var newstring:String = "";
private static var timeout:int = 5000;
public static var isDone:Boolean = false;
static public function HttpGet(Url:String,timeoutConnection:int, timeoutSocket:int):String{
isDone = false;
var reqURL:URLRequest = new URLRequest(Url);
var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader(reqURL);
loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, handleComplete);
loader.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS , progressHandler);
loader.dataFormat = URLLoaderDataFormat.TEXT;
timeout = timeoutConnection;
function progressHandler(event:ProgressEvent):void {
//Do nothing while the url is loading
}
function handleComplete( event:Event):void
{
var loader:URLLoader = URLLoader(event.target);
newstring = loader.data;
isDone = true;
}
return newstring;
}
}

| You have to manually check the isDone flag yourself. |

| I've tried doing that but if you stick it in any kind of loop the complete event never gets called.. My next idea is to set a new function to return the data and have it accessed during a future onupdate based on time passed... But my gut tells me this will be unsuccessful.. I also read a forum post with someone having a similar problem and The suggestion was to change the layout some what I need to read more Into it Its really bugging me |

| Yea Flash just will not allow you to do it Synchronously, i ended up adding tot he flash version and using the #IF target = "flash" blah blah in my code to handle that situation differently. This was the only way i could get it to work.. mnet.flash.as
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.net.URLLoader;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
class MNet_Http{
private var newstring:String = "";
private var timeout:int = 5000;
private var complete:int = 0;
public function Get(Url:String,timeoutConnection:int, timeoutSocket:int):String{
var reqURL:URLRequest = new URLRequest(Url);
var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
configureListeners(loader);
//loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, handleComplete);
//loader.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS , progressHandler);
loader.dataFormat = URLLoaderDataFormat.TEXT;
timeout = timeoutConnection;
loader.load(reqURL);
return newstring;
}
private function progressHandler(event:ProgressEvent):void {
//Do nothing while the url is loading
}
private function handleComplete( event:Event):void
{
var loader:URLLoader = URLLoader(event.target);
newstring = loader.data;
complete = 1;
}
private function configureListeners(dispatcher:IEventDispatcher):void {
dispatcher.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, handleComplete);
dispatcher.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, progressHandler);
}
public function GetComplete():int
{
return complete;
}
public function GetResult():String
{
return newstring;
}
public function AGet( Url:String,timeoutConnection:int, timeoutSocket:int ):String
{
return newstring;
}
}
Then in my code using diddy i'd call it like this
Method New()
name = "GameScreen"
MAINGAME = New GameMode
#If TARGET="flash"
If flashvars[1] <> "" Then
Print "FlashVars: "+flashvars[1]
ht = New Http
ht.Get( flashvars[1], 3000 )
Else
'MAINGAME.LoadPlay("monkey://data/games/demo1.vcf")
Endif
#Else
MAINGAME.LoadPlay("monkey://data/games/demo1.vcf")
#Endif
MAINGAME.Mode = 2
MAINGAME.showscore = True
End
Method Update:Void()
If loaded =0 Then
#If TARGET="flash"
If ht.GetComplete() > 0 Then
Print "Loaded"
Local parser:XMLParser = New XMLParser
Local xmldoc:XMLDocument = parser.ParseString(ht.GetResult())
LoadRemotePlaylist(xmldoc,0)
loaded = 1
Endif
#Endif
Endif
MAINGAME.Update()
If KeyHit(KEY_ESCAPE)
FadeToScreen(titleScreen)
End
End
