ActionScript 1/2 :: Using An XML Object To Retrieve A Static XML File?
Mar 3, 2010
I m working on learning how to bring XML info into Flash. Eventually Im trying to pull a bunch of data about Interstate 80 drug and cash stops for an interactive project to go with a big centerpiece story for the newspaper I work for. I ve been through a [url]..... tutorial three times now.I made a dataset, bound it to a datagrid and attached the datagrid to the xml file. When I run a trace,I can see in the output window that the XML is being pulled in. But I must be doing something wrong nothing is being displayed in the datagrid. It should bring in the first three items in the code:
var myXML:XML = [code]....

I have 2 classes, Display holds the currently selected Component:
public class Display
{
public static var selectedComponent:Component;
}
Component has an ID string and the selectedComponent variable is set on click:
public class Component extends MovieClip
{
public var id:String;
addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, function() {
[Code]...
Removing the selectedComponent variable type so it reads public static var selectedComponent; removes the conversion error and seems to change the ID variable but it appears to only be a copy of the object.

Quote:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
at global$init()//references to the line public class DeadPlayerShip extends DeadShip

This is truly the strangest error i've ever seen.

Inside my loop, where i get my XML objects I added a code to draw and add the mask:
var myMask:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
// settings for width height x y color fill etc etc.
myMask.name = "NAME-"+i; // set the NAME
myContainer.addChild(myMask);
myContainer.mask = myMask;
the mask looks fine on the stage.now since i name it, i want to use it for other purpose like moving it now i want to actual call myMask
i get my number "num" from other function, that works fine
function applyMask(num:int):void {
// need to call myMask("NAME-"+num)
}
i have tried myContainer.getChildByNamehave tried:
var masking:myContainer=getChildByName("NAME-"+String(num)) as myContainer;
i have traced for options i can think of myself, but all result no property found.

So I am trying to pass anything from javascript to an object, and use flashvars to retrieve its definition. Is it even possible? Here is the code-
Javascript
Code:
var user = window.external.GetUsername;
page_request.open('GET', 'http://www.mysite/members/tb/get_avatar.php?username='+user, true);
page_request.send(null);
[code]....
Of course this doesn't work. how would I get that variable "user" that is created in the javascript code, back to flash?

I am trying to place a condition statement so that it will only do an action if the swf loaded into the varaible is the same or empty. I start of with loading the sample1.swf into the movieclip swf_holder
Code:
var loadSwf:Loader = new Loader();
swf_holder.addChild(loadSwf);
loadSwf.load(new URLRequest(sample1.swf));
loadSwf.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, loadComplete);
In order for me to get the sample1.swf to play, I create a variable so that I can just call on it

In an asc file, I am trying to retrieve some data from a server that uses JSON as its exchange format each time someone connects to a specific application. ( I can't control the exchange format)To do that I send a POST using the sendAndLoad method of a LoadVars ObjectSo far I only managed to get the HTTP header. The target object from the sendAndLoad method seems to be empty .he response format from the server is like this :{"result":{"uid":"24947431041778945007157724608309","sid":"20825068196 030559827758762683967"} (I got it by doing a POST with cURL)ince the data doesn't have the attribute=value&attribute2=value2..."format, I think I will not be able to get themoes anyone know if it is possible to first get and then parse these data using either ServerSide ActionScript's API

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 using sensors in a Box2D project. On a collision with a sensor, I'd like to know the sensor's position in the world. I'm detecting the collision with a contact listener, but the sensor's position is always 0 0.
From my code: (edit, added the whole class)
public class MyContactListener extends b2ContactListener {
public var onSensorEvent:Function;
override public function BeginContact(contact:b2Contact):void {
if(contact.GetFixtureA().IsSensor()) {
var ud1:GameEntity = contact.GetFixtureA().GetBody().GetUserData();

I've been trying to work on a web portal for updating a website I am creating. I originally duplicated a write-to-.txt php script and duplicated it for each of my pages, but for some reason it isn't working out very well as I assume they are fighting with each other. I am looking into creating what I assume is called an array, so that I can store 5 separate data pieces in one text file but I can't seem to find a tutorial that is close to this. the closest I can find is a guestbook tutorial but it is very out of date. I would like to be able to store multi-line text (so that paragraphs and breaks are preserved) from 5 different input boxes and then retrieve that data upon loading of the input boxes and in a different page which would be the actual content of the website.

how to retrieve information about size (in pixels) of loaded FLV file? Video object returns 2 pairs of parameters (width,height) which are useless because returns always parameters passed in constructor of Video() object. Another pair is (videoWidth,videoHeight) which is always (0,0). I gave up...
I need this information to scale proportionally video clip to size of area designed to display this video.

I have three objects in the main scene (so far), one of them is draggable (up and down only), then the animated one that moves downwards and the start button (activates the animation). So I've been trying to figure out how to script the collision detection for the first two? The collision should take place not because I dragged the slider onto the animated block, but because the falling piece hits the slider after I pressed the start button.

I have a pointer to a Class object like so:
var temp_class:Class = getDefinitionByName(getQualifiedClassName(some_obj ect)) as Class;
I want to use it to call a static method 'can build' on that class, like so:
function can_build_ot(c:Class, qualifier:Object):Boolean {
if (c.can_build(this, qualifier)) {return true;}
return false;
}
When I do this, Flash CS4 AS3 tells me
1180: Call to a possibly undefined method can_build.

Is there a way to make an static method act over an object of its class that is already on the stage, without using the keyword "this"? I mean, like "generic object of this class: do what I'm telling you to do, wathever your instance name".My goal is to create an method that get called by any object of this class, based on the changing on the value of an external variable, but since I cannot use the "this" keyword to reffer to each instance, I could not figure out a solution.

I'm currently writing a feature for an interactive periodic table which dynamically displays the name of the element and other properties when you hover over the element. I have thought of three ways to do this and I am wondering which is the best, memory-wise and speed-wise, for loading this information.
make a class with an array ( new Array("hydrogen", "helium", "lithium",...etc.)), instantiating it, then accessing the info with object.arr[i] make a class with a static array (otherwise, same as no.1), importing it, then accessing the info with class.arr[i] put the information into an external xml file and accessing it from there. The 3rd method seems excessive as you have to go through the hassle of adding event listeners for URLloader every time. Is there any difference between the 1st and 2nd way? (What is happening in terms of memory when you are importing a class - is the entire array added to memory?)

I have a SendData class that sends form info to a php script. It is a static class that does not extend anything.
I want to be able to dispatch an event if there is an error, or when it gets info back from the server. I have a custom event class that I have been using to dispatch events like this, but I have only used that in displayObject extended classes.
The problem is, it seems like something has to be a displayObject based class to dispatch events. I know there must be a way to do this, but I'm having trouble finding it in searches.

Basically I have 2 classes, A and B. B derives from A. Inside A, I declare a static variable/constant to the class of B. When I run the program, I get a null object reference error, with the line pointing to the class declaration of B, i.e.
Code:
public class B extends A
For reference, these are the 2 classes:
Code:
package
{
public class A
{
[code]...
Also, this error only occurs when the variable is static. If it's just a normal variable it works fine, i.e.
Code:
private var OTHER:Class = B;
If I change the static variable to point to a different class, it's also fine, i.e.
Code:
private static var OTHER:Class = Main;
I can probably work around this, but it's a bit of a pain in the ass. Anybody know what's causing it, or is this a Flash bug?

I am getting a mysterious result when trying to load profile images from a logged in Facebook user's friends list into an as3 canvas app. In pretty much every (non-facebook) application I've made where loading an image is required I use the following:
private function loadPic():void
{
var url:String = Facebook.getImageUrl(_friendslistObjectArray[_loadCount].id);
_picLoader = new Loader();[code]............
I can't retrieve the image from the event object,and I am given no error at all.It all just fails silently.If I remove the line var image = evt.target.content, the process runs through the whole array.I can't think of any reason this would occur. Furthermore, if I look in firebug's net activity, I see I see the images get loaded as long as I do not have the line I just mentioned included. I just can't seem to get the image data from the event object to add it to stage or a container movieclip.
