[RESOLVED] Error #2124 when download a text file.

[jasperblij]

Hello people,

For my flash applet I need to download two text files.
Both they are in ANSI format, both have Windows line breaks.

The first one does download:

var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader()
var url:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://www.utr-online.com/IVAORealtime.txt")
loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, loadcomplete)
loader.load(url)
function loadcomplete(event:Event) {
	var textt:String = loader.data
	var tmp3:Array = new Array()
	tmp3 = textt.split("\u000A")
	trace(tmp3)
}

The second one returns error #2124:

var loader2:Loader = new Loader()
var FIRs:Array = new Array()
var FIRURL:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://www.utr-online.com/FIRs.txt")
loader2.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, processFIRs)
loader2.load(FIRURL)
function processFIRs(event:Event):void {
	var tmp:String = loader2.data
	FIRs = tmp.split("\u000A")
	trace(FIRs)
}

The first file contains information about all the people online at the network of IVAO.
The second file contains information about which airports are in which FIRs (Flight Information Region). The four letter codes are the ICAO-codes of the Airports and FIRs.

What did I do wrong??

Your second file is not recognized by Flash. It is of unknown file type.

PS: Please change your footer, Maximum dimensions: 300x40 pixels (1).

Yes I know what Error #2124 means, but why doesn't Flash recognize it?

It is just a .txt file ...

The extension doesn't mean anything to flash only the content. You should go back to your text program and resave the file.

Stupid Flash...

Opened the file in notepad and resaved it making sure the format is ANSI (same as the other file which DOES work), but it still doesn't work...

[cancerinform]

Copy and paste it into a new file or one which is working like the one which is accepted and then save it. I have a Mac, so using Mac programs (BBedit) does not get me into trouble

I put the content of the file into the swf itself.
It is hardcoded now, but that doesn't matter that much.

Thanks for the help anyway...
