ActionScript 1/2 :: How To Make ComboBox Write Variables
Nov 27, 2009
I am a dynamic site newbie, but have been making simple animations with Flash for some years. I have got a friend to give me a leg up to create a flash page full of input text boxes that write to a text file via PHP and are then dispayed in dynamic text boxes. [URL]. I want to replace some of the imput text boxes with combo boxes. eg if the combo box has the options of say "rigid" or "trailer" it would write which ever was selected in the text file so this would be displayed in the dynamic text box for the end user to see. It seems very simple but I have looked all over the options for combo boxes and can see no mention of variables.

I'm working on my first flash ASP project and have a question about passing variables from flash to an asp page. Can I write a call to an asp page with variables in the url?
Code:
saveEntry_lv.sendAndLoad("save_student.asp?student_id="+userID+"&login_name="+loginName+"&password=&user_name="+friendlyName, saveEntry_lv, "POST");
It's not working and I don't know if it's because I've got something big wrong here or if the syntax is bad.

I'm new to the community, and have decided to make an account because I'm probably going to be asking a few questions about the project I am currently working on. I am probably biting off more than I can chew with this, but I need something to work on, to keep myself occupied.
The first bump in the road that I came across, and I have searched far and wide for help with this, but had no luck finding anything for AS3.
I want to make an app that saves variables to a server, and then it able to load those variables, the next time it runs.

I am scratching my head because there isn't much out there even in the forum on something this simple.[code]...
Here is what I am trying to accomplish I am able to retrieve these variables from the txt file that is stored with the SWF file and display them, I am unable to allow the user to change a line "item" and then have them save it amending the TXT file.
So the goal is to have this list on multiple office computers so that you can go in add an item to the list it then updated the TXT file so the next user can open up the flash file see the list and even add or remove an item.
The TXT file is going to be stored on a private drop box folder that is available on all computers concerned. ( If it's going to be easier than putting it server side )

I'm a beginner that is stuck at the moment. I've made several comboboxes, and what I am trying to accomplish is add those values to an url and pass it.Example: In the first combobox I select year: 2009, second one I select genre: horror, third one I select language: us, which then should string those together and give me this url for example, "file.php?year=2009&genre=horror&language=us"I am working with an array, filling it with values and then stringing it together, but several problems arise, first one, I don't know how to skip the "&" for the first value. Also I do not know how to ignore undefined values in the array.Here is just one combobox I use and the handler:
Actionscript Code:
var seljaartal:Array = new Array({label:"Year", data:""}, {label:"1939", data:"jaar=1939"}, {label:"1940", data:"jaar=1940"},
[code].....

I am attempting to create what I call an 'On Air' rotator for a radio station. I would like to pull in an image file for each program when it is on air. I have the following AS 3 code that seems to work:
var now = new Date();
var day = now.getDay(); // Returns integer between 0 and 6
var hour = now.getHours(); // Returns integer between 0 and 23
[Code].....
The weekday programming is the same every day. We have some programs that are three hours in length. I would like to cut down on the number of statements I write. I am unsure how to combine the weekdays and have a range of hours in one conditional statement. Will the following work?
if (day >= 0 && day <= 4 && hour >= 6 && hour <= 10)
I'm attempting to express the condition "if the day is Monday through Friday and the hour 6 am to 10 am"

How can I make a bunch of variables from a for loop. for example for (var i=0; i<total; i++) {var bunch(i);}. that i make a bunch of variables named bunch1, bunch2, bunch3. I keep getting errors. I program and use so many different languages that I dont know if that can be done with AS3. my only other alternative i can think of is to create some sort of event dispatcher object array. but I dont know how to get them all to send events to one listener with there index number.

myFile.load("[URl]"); This loads in the txt file just fine, but it loads in everything. Is there a way for me to lose the "document.write(' 0 ');"and just send the "92" to the dynamic text box?

I'm developing an AIR app that requires a menu to show only during the first run. In it the user will be able to choose the desired language for the app to run in.
I'm displaying this menu without a problem but I need it to stay visible until the "select language" comboBox is changed and then return the selected choice's data value.
how to return a value only after the combo box is changed.
function promptFRMenu():String{
FRMenu.enabled = FRMenu.visible = true; //when I detect the app is running for the
// first time, the dialog box is enabled

I'm trying to achieve something that I'm sure it's not that complicated, but unfortunately I have not clue how to do it.I have created some text fields. And what I want to do, it's that when the user clicks onthem, in order to start writing, I want a specific movieclip to dissapear.This could be achievable if I knew how to make the textfield behave like a button; but I don't know what code I need for this, as onPress it's not working at all.
