Flash :: XML Within A TextField In ActionScript3

Jan 23, 2012

I made a simple project which you paste XML into a TextField and and uses this. It works great however it doesn't keep the original structure which wasn't much of a problem until i recently noticed if i load or copy and paste XML which contain comments like:

<min>0.0</min>
<max>255.0</max>

In the TextField it turns to this:

<min>0.0</min>
//
<max>255.0</max>

Which creates problems as from what i can tell it would then run lines of code it should not. I would prefer if it kept the same text structure as the loading/copy and paste method seems to adjust it for some reason.can you keep the exact same XML text structure with working comments? when the XML is in the TextField it removes this part:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

why does it remove that rather than keeping the text exactly the same? and can i make it keep that or would i have to manually append that text again?

Actionscript3 :: Flash - Padding Top And Bottom Of TextField?

Sep 6, 2011

Padding left can be done by TextFormat.leftMargin. And padding right can be done by TextFormat.rightMargin.

But there is no topMargin or bottomMargin property in TextField or TextFormat.
How can I do padding top and bottom?

Example code of left and right padding(margin) of TextField:

var format:TextFormat = new TextFormat
format.leftMargin = 40
format.rightMargin = 40

ActionScript3 :: Flash CS3 Importing And Using SWC?

Apr 28, 2010

I am trying to create a SWC library for use in my Flash AIR project. I have created a seperate FLA called SceneLibrary and followed the steps defined here:[URL]..to create a new SWC component. I saved the created SWC into a lib folder within my Flash Dev project, I then right click on the SWC item in my project window and choose "Add to Library" This all seems to go fine.

In my code i then go import FirstScene (this is auto completed by Flash Dev) It seems a bit weird to me that the path to this class would simply be

Having some problems adding the default spark.components.VScrollBar scrollbar.

Flash :: Why Doesn't ActionScript3 Call JavaScript Function

Feb 28, 2011

When I test the actionscript in Flash I don't get any compilation errors, and my Traces all execute when I expect.

Actionscript3 :: Flash - Send Querystring Arguments And Parse XML Feed?

Apr 23, 2011

I need to call a REST web service that provides an XML feed of weather conditions. I have 13 cities for which conditions are needed, and only 3 nodes for each city are required (vs. the entire feed). My very basic first attempt is as follows:

[Code]...

First, how do I parse the 3 nodes, and ? Next, is there a way to pass a different querystring argument for each of the 13 cities? Finally, how would I add these values to an FLV that's been imported and placed on stage? The FLV displays a geographical area and pans from east to west plotting cities as it goes. At each city plot, the 3 node values need to be "superimposed" onto the FLV.

Actionscript3 :: Flash - Change The Backend Of The LLVM Implementation From ARM To Something Else For Instance C Or C++?

Aug 3, 2011

I've been wondering if it's possible to change the backend of the LLVM implementation from ARM to something else for instance C or C++? Currently Adobe uses a Actionscript3 frontend (which I can't currently find - closed source?) for the LLVM to produce iOS applications. I'm wondering why there isn't more options for other backends? Of course there are limitations to going this route, no loading of external swf files at runtime (to name just one), but the iOS applications seem to manage really well with this feat. I did find this pdf which talks about the AS3 LLVM frontend, but no guidance to where the code is or how to investigate... I just think it's a missed opportunity that Adobe are missing and wondered how much work it would be to do such a feat?

Actionscript3 :: Game Development - Flash Cs4: Resolve Lag When Launched From Browser?

Aug 12, 2011

I've been working for a month on a flash game, which should be manageable to play in a browser (light computation). This being said, I've noticed that in some browsers the game runs at what looks like 15 fps (the game should run in 80fps). This has been known to happen in IE9, and the quick fix was to add this line to the top of the html: <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" value="IE=9"> This was a quick-fix that forces IE into compatibility mode and greatly improved the fps (to about... 60, let's say). Still, I believe that the game is running slower than it should in every browser, which is evident when the html version is compared to the swf.

Flash :: Reference The Default `this` Reference In Actionscript3 From An External Package?

Jul 7, 2011

My code is an external .as file. Google provides this code on their demo, which contains the this keyword:

[Code]...

Notice that I have 4 calls to console.log. The first 3 fire, but after the new GATracker statement, the 4th does not fire. I have a feeling that I'm overriding the entire package with the object created from new GATracker when I should be passing a different context. I believe the correct context I should pass is whatever this defaults to when not inside of a package/external file, I assume it references the main stage object.

Flash :: Textfield Embedded Font Only Adjusts According To Textfield Height?

Jun 14, 2011

i would just like to ask why is the case that when i use embedfonts = true on a textfield, the textfield's text only resizes according to the textfield's height but not the textfield's width. meaning if i make the textfield's height bigger, the text also gets bigger in terms of height, but not width, can't the embedded font maintain aspect ratio according to the textfield height?

I'm only wondering about this because this is not the case when embedfonts= false

ActionScript3 :: Arrays - Cannot Convert To C#?

Jun 28, 2011

I am trying to implement sorting function in c# (I wan to sort the array)

card_codes.sort(function() { return 2 * Math.floor(Math.random()) ? -1 : 1 } );

This is how ActionScript sorts array of integers in script and every time after first sort it starts with 301 but When I try to sort same array in c# it always starts with 101. here is how I sort it in c#

Array.Sort(PlayngCardCodes, (f1, f2) => 0.CompareTo(2 * (int)Math.Floor(rng.NextDouble()) == 0 ? -1 : 1));

how to exactly rewrite actionscript sort to get the same result?

ActionScript3 :: Filtering Xml-attributes That Contain Dashes?

Dec 22, 2009

There are dashes in attributes of an xml, and I don't know how to filter them: Here you can see a simple example of the xml:

<posts>
<post>
<photo-url max-width="1280">http://blabla.tumblr.com/photo/98</photo-url>
</post>
</posts>

Because also the photo-url-tag has a dash, I needed to parse it with ...child("photo-url"). This worked fine, but if I want to filter these tags(photo-url), in order to receive all photo-url's with the same attribute: "max-widht='1280'", I couldn't manage to do so. I tried this approach:

var photoUrl:XMLList = xml.posts.post.child("photo-url").(@max-width==1280);

I get this error:

ReferenceError: Error #1065: Variable @max is not defined.

ActionScript3 :: Load XML Located Inside .swc?

Mar 11, 2010

I have written a Flex Library project - a .swc file - which is supposed to read default configuration from a XML file inside .swc. This .swc file would be used by other modules to perform some operation. I am unable to make the URLLoader to load the XML inside the .swc file.When i run this as a normal Flex project, things work fine without any issue. With swc, it looks bin-debug folder for the XML and not inside .swc. I want the URLLoader to look inside .swc for the config file. How do i achieve this?

myLoader.load(new URLRequest("config.xml"));
For the above code i get the following error:
Error #2044: Unhandled ioError:. text=Error #2032: Stream Error. URL:

Actionscript3 :: Loading A Swf Named In Xml Into A Parent Swf?

Aug 23, 2010

I have a situation where I use loadvars to load an xml file, which has the address of 2 swf's on the server. I can trace the xml items so know they are loading. So I'm trying to load the swf's but am running into problems. First problem, the swf always gives an error when I publish from flash, "TypeError: Error #2007: Parameter url must be non-null." as it can't find the mention of the xml file, as it's just being published. I'm not sure this affects the next issue which is the swf not loading when I try to load it like this:

var loader:Loader = new Loader();
var defaultSWF:URLRequest = new URLRequest(loadswf1); // where I know loadswf1 = "myswf.swf"
loader.load(defaultSWF);

Actionscript3 :: Move The Stage Within A Class?

Dec 18, 2011

how to move the stage within the actual .fla file by modifying this.x and this.y variables in the layer 1 actionscript.

But within the document class- public class Starlight extends MovieClip, it does not seem to work no matter what i try and my research lead me to this use code instead:

for( i = 0; i < stage.numChildren; i ++){
stage.getChildAt(i).x -= player.speedx * player.bounceSpeed;
stage.getChildAt(i).y -= player.speedy * player.bounceSpeed;
}

I do realize that its hacky and slower as compared to actually moving the stage itself. And i'm not sure what's going to happen if another object that moves comes into the stage because technically this code is unnaturally altering the x,y of everything in the stage.

Actionscript3 :: Flex - Widespread Are Naming Conventions?

Aug 30, 2010

In 90% of the example projects I see for ActionScript / Flex I notice the following two coding conventions: 1) private member variables with getters/setters start with an underscore as in "_credentials" and 2) interfaces start with the letter "I" as in "ISessionInfo" Coming from the Java world, I find both of these conventions unnecessary and annoying. I am about to start a new Flex project and was planning on NOT following these conventions unless they are truly are widespread, standard conventions in the Actionscript/Flex world.

Flex :: Convert A Birthday String Into Age In Actionscript3?
