I made two more attempts:
http://www.LB-Stuff.com/MMF2/LoadCSV2.mfa - I tried to keep the list internal
http://www.LB-Stuff.com/MMF2/LoadCSV3.mfa - I tried to use the string parser
As you can see it's still too slow. :(
Well, I tried. Maybe an object should be made for this. I'd do it easily but I don't know how to make it for flash or any flash code.
Thanks a ton LB for your efforts on this! I'm at work and can't test it, or even open the mfa's right now, but I do plan to review this as soon as my lunch break starts!
The file is really large, and I can't change that... it was created originally with the dictionary object in mind, and was perfect for it.
I wonder if you could get away with this ---
Send the word to the server have the server check it and send back the results. Might work better then making the user download a huge list of words.
I thought about that, but I don't have the skills necessary to write the java/php/python to do exactly that.
Now, if ANYONE can write THAT code, I would be happy to host it, so EVERYONE can use it.
The program would be pretty simple, pass it a "word" via GET Object and query the database list and return the word if it's in the list or 0 if not. For that matter, it could return 1 or 0 (true or false).
Anyone want to write that? Everyone doing flash word games would be thrilled to have it, i'm sure!
That would be pretty fun if I had some free time... hmmmm
i'm sure we're talking about maybe 15 lines of php code tops
i think we hijacked this thread, which isn't really meant to be about the topic of dictionary.csv ... I'm going to start a new thread, and I really hope we can come up with a solution.
*back to topic*
Stupid question, but how do you use this extension? i tried with a .swf and a .png and it seems to load (from the browser status), but it doesnt show anything. I tried using the show action both first and last with all options inbetween.
An example .mfa should have been included ;)
My mistake, I will whip up an example and post it when I get a second. :)
Does anyone have a clue on why it fails to load a MMF2-generated swf but shows "normal" swf's without any problems?
