ActionScript 1/2 :: Finding Records In A Xml File?
Jun 18, 2009
I am writing a Flash object which will be an on-line quiz. I got most of it working ok, but it reads the questions sequentially from an xml file. I want it to be random. Each record in the xml file has an 'ID' attribute. This is my code that currently reads the questions in sequential order:
var question = new XML();question.ignoreWhite=true;question.load("Questions.xml");
question.onLoad=function(){ question_txt=this.firstChild.childNodes[_root.record].attributes.ques tion; answer1_txt=this.firstChild.childNodes[_root.record].attributes.answe r1;
[Code]...
There are 300 questions in the xml file. I want to assign a variable with a random number, then look in the xml file for the question which has the ID attribute matching the random number. How do I achieve this?

Ive made a php file which shows me all the records from a table in a db
PHP Code:
Actionscript Code:
<?phprequire_once 'db_config.php';$sql="SELECT * FROM guestbook";
$result=mysql_query($sql) or die(mysql_error());
$count=mysql_num_rows($result);while ($data = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)){
$id = $data"[msg_id"]; $sender = $data["msg_sender"]; $subject = $data["msg_subject"];
$text = $data["msg"]; $date = $data["msg_date"]; echo($count);
echo($id); echo($sender); echo($subject); echo($text);echo($date);}?>
Which gives me this result in a browser

how to find the file size in the swf header. I am looking at the swf file format spec v10 pdf and it says that "The FileLength field is the total length of the SWF file, including the header. If this is an uncompressed SWF file (FWS signature), the FileLength field should exactly match the file size. If this is a compressed SWF file (CWS signature), the FileLength field indicates the total length of the file after decompression, and thus generally does not match the file size. Having the uncompressed size available can make the decompression process more efficient."
If I were to look at the hex value of a swf what would I look for to find the file size?

Making simple player to allow viewing on website.Adding flv file to create a published player.Works fine after publishing on local system as long as the flv is located in the same directory as the swf player.When copying to a website, it seems the player does not know how to find the video file.

I have the problem that when I use a component from an existing Flex Library in my AIR project, the values that should be loaded from the appropriate locale .properties file are not loaded. The values are always null.
I am using Eclipse and have created an AIR project that refers to the existing Flex Library (of which I have the source code). When I use a component from that library it calls the following code:
var _resourceManager:IResourceManager = ResourceManager.getInstance();
var res:String = resourceManager.getString('resources', str, params);
"str" and "params" have valid values but res is always null.The properties file is located within the assets directory of the Flex library. I am deducing that the properties file is not being loaded (for some reason). This Flex library works for other Flex projects so it has to be something about the way my project is set up.
I have my compiler settings set to: -locale en_US Is there something special that AIR projects need to do to ensure that they can refer to properties files?

I am trying to use the new unCaughtErrorEvent, as explained here: [URL] When testing the event I run across two problems:
1 - when testing the movie from the flash IDE, the uncaught error is indeed caught and handled (as in the example) BUT the original
error still gets thrown! For example, when loading an XML file that does not exist: - first the uncaughterror event gets called. (good!) - then I get an unhandled event error (ioErrorEvent for not finding the xml file). Isn't the whole point of catching uncaught errors that you can catch ALL these errors? This way it seems rather useless to me.
2 - when testing the uncaughterror handler from a html page, the debugger gives an entirely new error: VerifyError: Error #1014: Class flash.events::UncaughtErrorEvent could not be found. So for now, I'm truly baffled as to what UncaughtErrorEvent is supposed to do and why it doesn't work

I'm trying to list in flash, several records that come from my database. I'm not talking about a datagrid or anything to fancy. I just want to list the values inside text boxes. (to allow editing). I already have fetch an array of records that come from the database, here:
[Code]...
My question is: How can I display several records, instead of only 1? Should I change the call to, instead of 1, uses a variable? But where would that variable comme from? Then I should loop again the addChild method for each child of form2 that needs to have different records on each of them?

I am trying to create some charts in Flex/FlashBuilder 4.5The issue I have it that the information I wish to display is the number of events within an area. I am using HTTP service to access a rails controller which is returning an XML list of the events.I need to figure out how to chart the number of events, eg number of records returned. There is no numeric value within chart, as there would be if I was charting sales or prices for example.

I've been searching all over for an answer to this, but have not had much luck. I have an .xml file that loads its data into a DataGrid. However, I don't want all the data to load up at once. I would like it to load the first five records, and after x amount of seconds fade out and fade in with the next five records.

In the AdvancedDataGrid shown bellow I have one groupingField as one can see. I would like to have the ability to click in a record (let´s say the 26/01/2011 - Pag.) and right bellow it to have some action buttons.
How can I do it? Would it be by using a AdvancedDataGridRendererProvider? I´ve tried to do it but didn´t get the expected result.

I'm using Flex 4.5 with PHP Zend webservice framework. Basically, I have 2 DataGrids that can drag and drop between each other. At the initializing of the component, I call a webservice to populate the top DataGrid. Then the user can drag rows to the bottom DataGrid that get processed and saved later on. My problem is that I want to have a reset button (or cancel button), that will take the user to a new component in the ViewStack, and if they return to the component with the DataGrids, the top DataGrid has the original records and the bottom DataGrid is empty.
I just can't figure out a good way to repopulate the top DataGrid. I can clear it, but it doesn't seem to refresh with the original data. I've tried unsuccessfully to call the webservice again and set the dataprovider to the new lastResult token. I've also tried unsuccessfully to copy the results of the initial webservice call to an ArrayCollection and simply set a Bindable variable to that ArrayCollection (or a backup of that ArrayCollection holding original records).

I know how to use AS3 to record sound from the user and enable them to save it to their computer. However, I would really like instead to allow them to either send it to an email address right after recording (without them having to save it to their computer first and find the file), OR to let them save it so that the site owner can access it (They would know that it was happening.).

I've got records being populated into our database from paypal's Instant payment notification methods...great. now i turn to our flash cs3 app to populate a component datagrid with the stored database data and to my surprise I'm unable to identify any examples on how this might even be done.
How do you connect to an mssql database from within flash cs3 to retrieve data for displaying within a flash datagrid?
I can write a cfc from coldfusion to return a dataset, but overall i'm not sure if i 'have' to learn Flex, or AIR or what to get the records 'read'.
My ActionScript 3.0 bible is vague at best and resorts to php. (which i dont know)

Case1: When a client makes a remoteObject request ie to save some Info... A call is made to Java SAVE_INFO method. If request failed ie came back to FaultHandler ( we save the info in an arrayCollection).Later we call SAVE_INFO again for each item in arrayCollection ie( if arrayCollection has 10 items.. We call 10 times the same method.. I know that's kind of stupid but we have no control over java to write a overloading method). Some times we see there are multiple records of same info in DB. I am not sure if this happens when looping over arraycollection and making calls or during normal one time call. We could not find a pattern to reproduce. Java LOG level is at Error level in production. can't set to INFO in production to monitor all calls. We dont know if this multiple times saved record is, the one in arrayCollection or normal one.
Flex3 RemoteObject --> WAS 6.1 , lCDS 3.0, Java1.5 --> Webservice -- > Java (hibernate) --> Oracle 10gCase2: When application is left open and user leaves for the day and submits info the following morning, we see duplicate records in DB of that info.(No arrayCollection here. Simple straight one call)Flex3 RemoteObject --> OC4J Blazeds Java1.5 (JDBC) --> Oracle 10g.Recently one of our Testers testing case 2 application found this pattern and I am starting to think that may be in the case 1 also.. users might be leaving for lunch/break and resubmitted the arrayCollection after coming back. During lunch java might have killed the sessions for the client and after resubmitting 10 at same time.

I thought this was going to be easy! I would like to search an XML file for a particular data set i.e. set of nodes depending on a passed variable. However, storing a subset of my XML file via Code:var gallery = this.firstChild; and then searching 'gallery' as you would an array-using a for()-doesn't work since this.firstChild isn't returning an array
Code:
<gallery>
