I have an actionscript pulling data from an xml file. As you can see in the code below, I have textFields been created on the fly.I need to have the "resultsField" textfield to be programatically filled with the greater value from either "column1" or "column2".[code]
View 24 RepliesI have a case where I can change the contents of an actionscript class which fills the dynamic text fields in a flash movie. The class function is called from the first frame in the movie and fills all visible fields. I need to fill a dynamic text field in the n-th frame (say 100, or so) but when I call
tagline2.htmlText = "hello there";
From the class, I get the following error:
TypeError: Error #1009: Kan geen eigenschap of methode benaderen via een verwijzing naar een object dat null is.
Which means as much as
Can't reference an attribute or method of an object that's null
How I can get text into Dynamic Textfields in later frames then the function call?
I parse an xml file that his content is:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<operators>
<operator><name>OPerator1 </name></operator>

I display the name of operator in a TextField after parsing the xml file my problem is to loop through this different TextField with a fade effect.
I am new to flash, trying to do some animation character. I have 2 queries
1. What is lock fill; whenever I am trying to fill a color, it shows lock fill....
2. If I am creating a non regular figure like say with pencil, if I draw some part of it & do other part by later; these will be assumed different objects & I am not able to fill the whole figure with a selected color.
I'm trying to sell this metronome: [URL]. I've submitted it to activeDen.com and it has been rejected for 'aesthetic reasons' I noticed when I double click the swf file it opens up in my web browser and it is enlarged to fill the screen. This is bad since I use jpeg images instead of vector art and I do not like the Allow Smoothing option in flash since it blurs the image a little. So is there a way to make my swf file show up correctly?
View 5 RepliesMy client originally requested a flash animation to be used as an introduction to their website - it needed to fill the screen no matter what the computer screen size. This bit works perfectly - However recently:
it has been mentioned that when viewed from a large plasma screen, it views incorrectly, i.e., "the flash does not display, it only appears as a banner across the top of the page": ensure that if an swf file is viewed on large plasma screens, the animation automatically displays correctly - filling the screen?the final swf file has an interactive button that pushes the viewer to a website, so I'm guessing the option of creating a projector or movie file won't solve the problem
For example, I have a transparent png file, the shape is a car.In the png file, I only draw the white border shape.Outside and inside the border are all transparent.
I want to use actionscript3 code to show the car object with different color, it means only fill color inside the border, and for the outside of the border, keep transparent.How to do that?
So far, the simplest workaround is to prepare many images with PhotoShop, but it's not good enough for me. When I have many shapes and use many colors, I've to prepare many many images.Add more details:(Because I'm using white border, you may not see the basic png file if your background of browser is white)
how this site was made so that it fits every browser window completely, with no borders or distortion to the site? http:[url]....I want my site to fill the screen and the only way I know is 'exactfit' in the html but this stretches the file on certain browsers.

This is for mx 2004. How to load variables from an external txt file at the beginning of flash movie...At various keyframes in the scene the movie shows different forms for user to fill in into the TextInput components. As soon as these forms are shown, the TextInput components are pre-filled with default text (the variable values that were loaded, for example "Enter your title here"). I know how to do this in earlier versions easily with the Var variable but now I'm stuck. I've been trying to do something but I keep getting "undefined" in the TextInput.
View 1 RepliesHad a problem stretching the flash file to fill the screen in a projector movie. It is not made in proportion with the standard screen sizes. Is there a quicky way of doing this, without having to go into each element and resizing it. Its a huge file with a lot of cross referencing happening, and _root is used liberally everywhere.

I have just found out that flash wont let me create a movie with width or height greater than 2880. The thing is I have an image of the stage which has a height of 3568px so some clipping has occured and I cannot see the rest of the image when I publish the movie. Is there a way to somehow adjust my movie to this height so that I can see the rest of the image? I have assigned a little AS2 to resize the stage:
Code:
Stage.height = 3568;
However this doesnt work!
I am trying to loop through a bitmap and determine if each pixel is lighter or darker than gray using getPixel(). Problem is, I am not sure how to tell whether the value returned by getPixel() is darker or lighter than gray.
Neutral gray is about 0x808080 or R:127, G:127, B:127. How would I need to modify the code below to accurately determine this?

I have a scratch card. Basically I'm masking a movie clip with an empty shape. I can draw on that mask and thus my movieclip will become visible. I have also attached the fla.
Now what I would like to achieve is that when you fill a percentage of that mask, let's say 70%, I automatically fill the whole layer so that all of my movieclip becomes visible (as mask is fully filled).
I have a scrolling flash gallery. On mouse hover over a thumbnail, a popup with more description is shown. The problem is that my stage height is 200px but the popup requires additional about 200px to show properly. When I embed this in an HTML page with the object tag height set to 200px, i see the scroller completely but the popup get cut from the top. If i change the object height to 400px, it show me the popup fine, but this inserts extra blank space in the html page.

Everyting works fine but if I add a textfield to the flash file and change the php file it still sends the original textfield but not the one I have created. I am using flash 8 and macromedia mx. I just copied the message textfield in flash and dublicted it. Than I gave the dublicated textfield a different instance name (second). After that I published the movie and adjusted the php file. I guess that the mistake is here. Would be cool if you could check the below listed php script and tell me what I am doing wrong. Honestly it's driving me nuts as it looks so simple but it just wont work. I marked the lines I added with red.

1. I selected the Rectangle tool, and made sure Object Drawing Mode was not selected.
2. I picked colors for stroke and fill, and drew a rectangle.
3. I clicked the Selection tool, then dragged around the rectangle to select all of it.
4. In the Property Inspector I clicked the fill color icon. I clicked the square with the slash, to designate no fill. The fill disappears.
Everything has worked so far. But now I decide I want a fill color after all. I select the shape again. But clicking the fill color icon in the Property Inspector and the Tool panel has no effect on bringing a fill color back to the shape. I can't figure out how to do that.
Actually, I could restore the original fill color using Undo, or the History Panel. But it seems there must be a way using the Property Inspector.
Iam using flex 3.5 . I want to set the back ground color of cell in a datagrid to yellow when the data in it is more than 6 .

I wonder if there is a way in actionscript 2 that makes something happen if an object hit another object with a specific speed. For exemple: If Object 1 hits Object 2 with a speed greater than 10 I want something to happen.

View 4 RepliesI've made two classes, Office.as (main class) and Table.as, that when used allows the user to move the mouse over a symbol, and receive information shown in a TextField on four different MouseEvent's. This setup works well, but I would like to extract the the text function (named TableText) out of the Office.as file, and make it into its own class file. I have done that as TableTextField.as, but I don't know how to implement it, so the Table.as file can use it (as is does now through Office.as)
