ActionScript 1/2 :: Using Imported XML At Runtime?
Sep 28, 2009
I am creating an animation that will be used in 60 or so countries so messages will have to be translated in-country. From what I understand, using XML is the best way to do this. So, I created the following XML file (number of items reduced for space) using notepad:
<?xml version="1.0"?><displays name="Transfer Case Messages"> <message text="Click on the igntion switch to advance the switch one position." messageNumber = "0"/> <message text="Please use the brake pedal hold button to shift into and out of Park (P)." messageNumber = "1"/> <message text="Speed is limited in 4WD LOW." messageNumber = "2"/></displays>
Then, I used the following code to load the XML file and verify that it loads:

I have a Flex project that is the application master for my site. It loads a swf I built in Flash which has a runtime bones animation using a Loader. The runtime bones work if they are loaded without Flex.
Is there a way to make bones work if they are loaded by Flex?

Created a runtime bone animation (more complicated than the one included in this example).When I loaded the swf using the Loader class in master application, the runtime animation stopped working.I included my source files for the bones, and another fla that only calls the Document class Main.as.Try running bonesRuntime.html, and the runtime bones work; call bonesSwfLoader.html and only the authortime bones work.

I'm working with Runtime Sharing, and can't get past this issue...In my Import.fla document, I import for Runtime Sharing the movieclip "StarIcon" from Export.swf. It has the class "StarIcon".how to access "StarIcon" via Import.fla's document class. When I try to say
Code:
var newIcon:StarIcon = new StarIcon();
addChild(newIcon);
I get a 1046:Type not found: StarIcon error.If I add that same code to Export.fla, it works fine... but obviously I don't want to use it there.Do I have to do something special in my document class to access the runtime sharing import?

I've seen the Loom project, but are there any alternatives that are more mature (and actively developed)? I am looking for something that would allow load-time weaving of pointcuts into existing binary code at runtime with the AVM2 runtime.
Has any work been done in this area?

I've been into coding for about 5 years now, but I'm a recent convert to Flash development. One of the questions I have at the moment is, considering that SWF files can be run by either Adobe Flash Player OR Adobe AIR, what's the real difference between the two runtime environments? What API's and Objects exist in one environment, but not the other?
Basically what I'm more or less trying to establish is, when would I want to develop an SWF for AIR, and when would I want to develop for Flash Player, considering that Flash Player can also execute locally (providing support for creating "desktop applications")

Whenever I link a set of movieclips together with the bone tool which are inside a containing movieclip, and also set the type to "runtime" instead of "authortime", I get this error when published.
"Runtime symbols with skewed matrices should be wrapped in a movie clip" What does it mean? I need the type to be set to runtime so I can use scripting with it..

it seemed like a simple process but I cant seem to get this right... I got a button there, but the URL wont go, ie, the click does nothing.I imported a PSD layered image to Flash CS3, into a new blank layer. I need basically an area of this PSD to be "image mapped" so what I did was create a rectangle with the rect tool, over the area I needed the hot spot.Here I tried to do a transparent box and border (alpha 0) but the outline is still there even though the box is "empty." I did select the transparent box, no color, and tried alpha, both same result)I made that into a symbol, then I double clicked into there to fill in the key pts for the over, hit, etc., states.... I dont have any effects here btw, as simple as we can get.After that I right clicked on the buttonand entered the action script ("reserve" is the name of my button symbol)
reserve.onRelease=function(){
getURL("http://www.redeggnyc.com/menu2.htm");
}

I'm putting together a website in Flash CS4, and my Actionscript knowledge is pretty minimal. The site has a portfolio section with a scrollbar, which I modified from a downloadable example I found here: http:[url]...The prewritten code uses xml to import the thumbnails into the scrollbar- all of this is fine and working beautifully so far. What I'd like to do is to have each thumbnail act as a button, so that when clicked, you jump to another page/frame on the timeline. I see that it's very straightforward to either open a 'full' image or to go have the thumbnail take you to an html page, but is there a command that can go into the xml text that will simply take you to another spot on the timeline?

I created an image in Photoshop that included a gradient layer fading from transparency to a foreground color (in this case, black). I saved this image as a PNG file and imported the file onto my Flash stage. The gradient appears on the image as expected when viewing the stage in the Flash editor, however, when I test the movie, the gradient no longer appears.

I created a flash file (I will refer to this a swf.1) that plays correct when published as swf.However when I place it into another flash file the nested animation inside the swf.1 does not run.The nested animation in swf1. that does not run has a mask. Would this have anything to do with it?

I have imported some info from an xml file into my movie. The info from this file is then displayed in dynamic text boxes. Three of these text boxes show a price which displays fine. However i need the contents of these text boxes to be added together in another dynamic text box called total. I need this total to update as the price fields change. I just cant figure it out.
Here is my code which is placed at frame 1 of my movie:
The last line of code is along the lines of how i think it should work
stop();
bar._visible = false;
bar2._visible = false;
bar3._visible = false;

Im preparing a Flash piece that includes several audio files. I imported the audio successfully but for some reason when I play the swf, the audio sounds tinny. I set the settings to speech compression and synced to stream. Some of the audio files were edited in Soundbooth to add silence at the beginning of the audio files. HOwever, all files (edited in Soundbooth or not) sound tinny.

why I can't draw over impoted images? I've animated something on paper and scanned in the frames. When I import them to flash it either deletes the line as soon as I draw it, or if I create a new layer the drawing stays in all frames, not just one.

I am new to flash CS5 and I am having a problem creating a character with multiple parts.My problem is. I created the character parts in PS: CS5 and save it individually as PNG with transparent background, but when I Imported it to Flash CS5 and applied a bone on it and test the bone. The image is messed up and as I realize that the individual png transparent image has a background.That's why the imae pic is distorted, messed up.I know it's hard to imagine so I post a pic.As what I have said. It is only an example screen cap of the problem.When I apply a bone and test that is the result.I am unable to draw in Flash cause it's different from PS which where I draw the chars, parts, and everything.

I am wondering if there is a way in as 2.0 to allow flash to auto-execute an attachMovieClip (in the next frame) at the end of an imported video file? a 2 minute timer delay could potentially have flaws, and doesn't seem correct.the goal is this:- choose a language- attach imported video in selected language- at the end, go to the menu of the specified language.The auto-attach at the end of the movie is all I have left to do, and I am uncertain about it.

've been building some website in pure flash with as2, where index.html is only a 100%x100% swf movie without any marginsi didn't expect there was supposed to be a gallery but oh well. our client decided that he wants to have some gallery in his flash website. this of course wouldn't be a problem if the swf weren't scaled but it unfortunately is so everytime it loads an image it is, of course, sacled up/down which produces a really ugly pixelated image (because nobody would want to have his gallery images scaled up 2 times)if i knew there was going to be a gallery, i would export it into html with "match movie" dimensions and dynamically reposition all the objects in the swf but i didn't. and i don't have time to rebuild the damn site againso i'm asking, is there any option for a loaded image that it would not get scaled up/down while the swf(browser window) is? or a variable that tells at how much % is the movie scaled in the browser?(so i could re-scale the images inside flash) i know there is probably not but i'm really desperate

which gave no errors on validation.When I preview in Flash, everything looks good except the thin black border and the fact that when the button is pressed, nothing happens.
