I am trying to create a XML variable but I need to include a { and } in it.

Flex is trying to find a variable named PROTOCOL, SERVER and FOLDER. I need to prevent this by escaping the curly brackets. Question: How can I escape curly braces?
How can I force flex to cuddle my curly-braces instead of putting them on a new line?
View 2 RepliesIs there a way or a plugin that will allow you to do what the "Collapose Between Braces" but for all functions/braces....
If not, is it possible to create a plugin that would do this? I've tried searching but I have had little luck due to the ambiguity of the terms. (I get either nothing, or far too much unrelated info)
is there any way to turn off automatic right braces feature in flash cs5??
View 1 Repliesit is possible to use navigateToURL without automatically escaping the url? I want to for example navigate to [URL] and instead it sends me to [URL] witch doesn't work..this is what the documentation says:If System.useCodePage is true, the request is encoded using the system code page, rather than Unicode. If System.useCodePage is false, the request is encoded using Unicode, rather than the system code page.

View 1 RepliesWhat I'm trying to do here is to build a simple XML document and then submit it to a PHP script.I'm having 2 major problems:
1. Building the XML document. I'm not sure that I'm doing it right. If I don't first create a root node (mapXML = <xml/>; ) then it refuses to create any nodes. I would prefer to create "planet" as the root node, but if I do that instead then it just duplicates it (planet -> planet -> other child nodes....)
2. Even more annoying, it's escaping the quotation marks, no matter what I do. In the final XML document there are backslashes before the quotes.At this point I'm not really certain at what point it's happening, whether it's in the XML parsing or whether it happens when I prepare the data for uploading. I'm submitting a large Base-64 encoded chunk, though, so URLLoaderDataFormat.VARIABLES is out
Code:
mapXML = <xml/>;
mapXML.planet.@id = "1";
mapXML.planet.map.layer.@id = "0";[code]............
I decided I might want to compress the data before base-64 encoding it, since the map data is very large - 500x500 bytes. I tried deflate() with my ByteArray object. Didn't work. Said the method was undefined. Tried compress(). That worked. Why? The docs say it should be the other way around, that compress() only works in AIR. I am not compiling for AIR, and this .swf runs in the webbrowser just fine, compression and all)
and why would you have to use an extra curly brace on the second statement to be exeucuted?
wouldn.t one do the job followed by a semicolon???

this._x += ((Stage.width / 2) - this._x) / 5;

I am finding this task challenging in AS3.if I am missing something basic/simple or some builtin method which can do this. I am not well versed with RegExp.I have a DYNAMIC string representing full file path which looks exactly like "d: empabc.doc". I want to extract the filename part from complete string e.g. abc.doc.I am aware of techniques like using "fullPath.lastIndexOf("\")" or regular expressions. The problem is it doesn't seem to work if you have "" in your path. It works with "/". The path being dynamic can't be manipulated to replace "" with "/" or any other delimiter. My interpretation is that since "" is used to escape characters - ANY character appearing AFTER "" is ignored by actionscript. e.g.[code]
View 3 Repliesi'm exporting xml from flash to a file on the server as a URLVariables string. When the file arrives on the server every double quotation mark has been escaped invalidating the xml. I suspect the URLRequest class may be doing this.
View 9 RepliesI have a dynamic text field with htmlText that renders quotes as the straight double quotes as opposed to curl quotes ("smart quotes" if you're M$). Does anyone know how to get Flash to display curly quotes in dynamic text boxes?

View 4 RepliesI am embedding a font using the following class:
Code:
package {
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.text.Font;
[code]....
So far, everything works well, but I am having problems getting curly apostrophes to display (�) instead I get a blank where the apostrophe is in my XML file. If I use a straight apostrophe (') it works but I can't get the curly apostrophe to work.What am I doing wrong? I looked up the unicode range for apostrophe and it's U-0027 which I appear to have in the ranges specified above...
It was hard to sum the issue so here's what I mean in the title is something like the following:
ActionScript Code:
var rX:RegExp = /^([0-9]+-[a-z]+){3,5}$/i;
trace(rX.test("1-a")); // false

I have 2 movie clips, one being loaded into a container MC via "loadMovie();"In the main movie there is a variable with no value, in the external movie there are 5 frames, each with a value to update the variable in the main movie.
IE: if on frame 1, global value = 1 / if on frame 2, global value = 2 / etc etc I'm familiar with passing variables INTO an external swf, but am stumped on how to do it the reverse way.
I would like to store a hex colorPicker value in a variable and then cast the value of the var backout to a textInput. The textInput is just to see witch hexcolor i have choosen.
thus meaning seeing 0x000000 in the textInput.
what i've done now is pretty simple i have bound the flex colorPicker directly to my textInput. but i want to store the value from the colorPicker in a var first and than spit it backout to the textInput to see the value that i have picked.
When i pick a color value that begins with the number 0 it drops the 0's at the beginning of the number and only spits out the numbers greater than 0. (000033 becomes 33, FF0000 stays FF0000). I want to catch the whole value or write some kind a function to figure out how many 0's got dropped and concatenate it together with 0x. Store that all into a var and bind it to the flex TextInput.
This is what i've got.

How can I access the member variable of an object by using a variable in the name.Example:
Entries Object has properties 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.
Normally I would access them by
var i : int = Entries.1;
[code].....
f you know PHP...then you know that you can create a string variable...and then use the value of that variable to declare another variable. like this:
PHP Code:
<?php$foo = "haha";$i{$foo} = "success";print $i{haha};?>
and it would display "success"...or like this:
PHP Code:
<?php$foo = "haha";$$foo = "success";print $haha;?>
and it would also display "success".
For example I have two ArrayCollection's - firstAC and secondAC. If I do secondAC = firstAC, and than I make changes to secondAC (prehaps put a filterfunction on it) it somehow propagates to firstAC, would anyone tell me why that happens in Flex or Actionscript 3?
What can I do if I only want secondAC to get all data from firstAC but then when I make changes to secondAC it does not show in firstAC?

View 2 RepliesI've got a little question answer app that I've created. Everything is working fine but now I'm trying to make the quiz more dynamic by loading and uploading different quizzes from a database.
I seem to have almost everything working fine but I've ran into a bit of a problem converting my answer check function from static to dynamic data.
Here's a bit of my code.
if (b1.selected != true) {
q1a.styleName = "incorrect";
q1a.text = incorrect + b1.value;
score = score -1;
}
Like a said this seemed to work fine with static content just checking if the radio button was selected or not.
I need to replace - b1.selected with my database variable in this case its pertestq1a.
pertestq1a currently equals b1.
How can I add my variable to this if statement to be recognized as an element id?
an easy answer for 99% of you. I have a custom class 'Users()'. In PHP I have all the values being populated correctly. When I go to Flash Builder - and do the test function - All the data comes back properly. However, when I click a button and refer to the lastResult property of the CallResponder - it comes up NULL the first time, and then if the button is clicked a second time it will return the correct result. What step am I missing? I had the same problem with something simliar last night and am getting BEYOND frustrated - especially since I know it is some SMALL detail I'm overlooking.So just for clarification - lets say there is a button named button1So button1's click handler:1) Validates the text input properties2) Asks the server if that user and password match3) If they do - then I want it to grab all of that specific users info and put it into a User class. Again - when I test this function/method from within Flash Builder all the values come back as they should. It's just on the first button click they come back NULL...he second click they populate fine - I.E.-
Alert.show(currentUser.userFirstName); (First Click - NULL)
Alert.show(currentUser.userFirstName); (Second click - "Jack")
