AS3 :: IDE : Feeding RSS Through An Art Exhibition?
Aug 23, 2009
So me and a friend have recently found ourselves as contributers to an upcoming student exhibition at our university.We have decided to run a project we call "Live Journal"; the idea is that it takes a large group of blogs and online journals and reformats the content into an old fashion letter/journal before projecting them for the viewer (and updating every 10 or so seconds). My friend is organizing the space and presentation and i'm stuck with all that lovely coding!

i was commissioned to animate .swf that will run in a loop in the background of a website, but when certain buttons are pressed it triggers elements in the loop. The loop is 199 frames and loops seamlessly, but the problem im having is how to navigate through the timeline without it skipping frames in the loop, so that the new elements that enter into the scene are in sync with the rest of the moving parts.
The way i have planned on doing it is setting it up so that on frame 199 it jumps back to frame 1, then when the button is clicked it will carry on playing until the end of the 199 frames and the move on to frame 200 where it will play the loop with the new elements in.

I am pulling in some lyrics from an xml file, and Im wanting to store them in an array, so I can access them from time to time, after the initial xml code has been fired.
Code:
var lyrics:Array = new Array();
var lyricNum:Number;
function getLyrics(xmlData)
{
[code]....
trace(lyrics);//this won't pick up the array - Why when I have placed my variable outside of the for loop in the root code!?I have laid my case in the code where the traces reside.why I cant access the array after the for loop has been processed - it says it is undefined.

My flash files are in the root directory, while I have seperate HTML pages in different folders. I want the Flash project to react slightly differently depending on what web page the project was opened from.

A client is asking for a slideshow to embed into a web page. The slideshow will have a thumbnail bar with arrows on either side to switch to the next or previous batch of thumbnails.This slideshow needs to be linked to an external file that will contain pictures submitted by visitors to the site. The pictures will automatically generate thumbnails that will call a large version of the image when clicked on.My current knowledge about flash and AS3 coding does not enable me to do this. I wouldn't be surprised if it's not possible at all. It sounds like something that needs to be handled by a content management system.

i am working on a flash portfolio that is supposed to be fed from a MySQL database. Until early today everything worked just fine, but then i had to change the structure of my database. initially i had just 2 tables, news and work... now i added links, photo, digital etc, and dropped work. and it just doesn't work anymore... it's strange as i did nothing to the news section for example...
i have included the fla, the php scripts that send the XML to flash as well as a query of my database in the following zip archive..[URL]..

I'm building a realtime action multiplayer game in Flash which is using too much bandwidth because it sends message objects as XML (as required by the Smartfox server). I'm now trying to cut down on that by serializing my objects to strings before feeding them to Smartfox. I've tried JSON but it doesn't work. Is there another serialization method that is compacter, for example that encodes numbers in Base64 instead of decimals? I don't care about human-readability in this case.

I'm using the Halo AdvancedDataGrid component, in which the default itemEditor for each column is mx.controls.TextInput.
For example, the data provider is:
[CODE][Bindable][code]............
If a String from the dataprovider Array is preceded by an asterisk - as is the case for banana in this example - the String needs to be surrounded by square brackets and be displayed in a grey colour.
I tried to do the following: [CODE]
A colleague told me about using the AdvancedDataGridColumn's labelFunction attribute. I tried that but was unable to do the following assignment (the id of the column is 'tag'):
[CODE]tag.itemEditor.htmlText = formattedText;[/CODE]
I get error "Access of possibly undefined property htmlText through a reference with static type mx.core:IFactory.I tried to both explicitly extract the TextInput itemEditor (like I did for the override set data) AND use the labelFunction, but I couldn't get both to be in the correct scopes.

if you look at the code:: barn is an instance of an MC on stage. I have a few buttons stored in an array which i want to attach scripts with a for loop. Why does adding an item from the array not work when placed inside the function call?

I have to dynamic text boxes; one is for articles and the other is supposed to bu for navigation of the articles. I have a variable set up for the article dynamic text box and I want the navigation part to be filled in via text file. so I need to find a way for the information that's fed in to the navigation part to functions as buttons and when they are clicked a variable should pass though flash telling is what story to display. for instance if you click stereohype then storyvar == stereohype. see what I mean? I could do it all in flash but i'm trying to make it where I don't have to touch the flash file after it's completed and everything can just be manipulated via text files with html php xml you name it, what ever works.

What is the process for feeding XMLList values to a URLRequest method?
Say I have an array:
ActionScript Code:
var imageURLS:Array = ["images/image1.png", "images/image2.png", "images/img3.png"];
[Code].....
Way I see it is the traces above are the same, where am I wrong?
