ActionScript 2.0 :: Choosing Quote To Display - List In Text File?
Aug 10, 2011
I am using this random code below to choose a quote to display and I want to move the quotes list to a text file.
Code:
quotes = [Fish are the last to recognize water.","I am my brains publisher.", "Every tool carries with it the spirit by which it has been created.","Curiosity is the mother of intelligence.","Thinking is drawing in your head.","A person without imagination is like a teabag without water.","Realism is a corruption of reality.","Its always better to be looked over than to be overlooked.","The hardest thing to see is what is in front of your eyes.","The soul has no secrets that conduct does not reveal.","Creativity is the defeat of habit by originality.","Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.","If you want to get lucky... it pays to get ready" ,"Realism is the corruption of reality","I'd give my right arm to be ambidextrous.","Music is noise submitted to order by wisdom.","God...invented the giraffe,the elephant,the cat.He has no real style.He just goes on inventing things.","The person you love is 72.8% water."]
qNum = Math.floor(riddles.length*Math.random());
partThree = quotes[qNum];
mainTxt = """+partThree+""";

I am build a rotating quote display for a website I'm working on -- the quotes come from a MySQL database and are displayed with PHP. A new (randomly selected) quote needs to fade in and then out every few seconds.I am mildly accustomed to Flash and know PHP and MySQL very well, so I was able to get the database interaction and whatnot going. You can see my progress here: [URL]I am willing to post the .fla file;

I've taken a few Flash classes, but this is the first I've really been exposed to hard coding things into the stage area.
I'm working on a game, and I need to have the game randomly choose one of four movie clips to add to the stage after a given event. (ex: Mouse click)
The four movie clips are BoostUp, BoostDown, BoostLeft, and BoostRight.

I have a list box in my flash file that I would like to display a string from an xml file that has been run though html entities in php. So for instance I need the string.
Code:
Hey "Leonardo£$£$()*%£% '"' [1999]
to display as
Code:
Hey "Leonardo;$;$()*%$% '"' [1999]
I can get this to happen in my dynamic text boxes by using .htmlText to display but I have no idea how I would do this in the list box?

myLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, processXML);

I'll start by posting my code then explain what I want it to achieve.
[Code]...
What I am attempting and failing to do after much trial and error is to have a random ingredient from the ingredientList array pushed into the previewIngredients array making sure the new value going in is not already in the preview ingredients array. If the same value is there I want it to keep choosing an ingredient from the list array until it finds a value thats not in the preview array then push that one in there. It feels like I'm getting close but obviously I'm either going about it the wrong way or just missing a little somthing somthing out.

When changing wmode to transparent or opaue, or just by default, some browers change the @ to a " ... so you have to use the opposite button, ie shift-2.The only fix I know is to run a listener and switch double quotes for @ symbols...

I'm found the site with the monkey on the the flash thing and all it shows is a name, email and something else and I used it and it works by including a txt file and displaying text from that file as putting down this information
name.text = this.name;
and I can't find the site anymore to get help.I want to know how to include a PHP script that shows this information like this
text=something I need&username=My Name&email=something@website.com
I want to show this stuff on the flash but every time I execute by using it as localhost/test.php, it will show a syntax error.

I need the exact simple application but the ability to choose a background image from a file on the server as the canvas and I want to save the created image on a server file instead of on the client machine. The ability to change the pencil drawing size would be an additional plus. I work with php and mysql so I would like to use them to store the file parameters, even as a blob in mysql, along with some additional user (server) defined variables (I can do the php/mysql side if I can get the file there, I understand there is an swf to png ByteArray class that might be able to save on server. The project is for an opensource group so the final product would need to remain as such, I would be able to pay for the modifications mentioned above. The source files are available at the links below. [URL]

loadVariablesNum("testimonials.txt", 0);
gotoAndPlay("load");
This code works perfect when testing, and it works perfect viewing the SWF, but when you view the HTML file with the SWF embedded, it doesn't display the text file content.

I have a dynamic textfield being populated with an xml files' content. I then have a css stylesheet loaded into format the text. This all works great, but what doesn't work is the ability to bold some of the words in that text. I have both the regular and bold versions of the font embedded into the swf, I can test out just a bold block of text and it works fine. The css is also working as it will change the size of the text that I tell it to. Everything is working, but for some reason I am not able to get the bolder version of the font to display in the same text box as the regular one. I have also tried to change fonts but had the same outcome.

I have a list containing display objects from throughout the application (insertion order). I want to process the list either top-down (parent, child) or bottom up (child, parent). The only requirement is that either a parent is processed before any child or vice versa a child before its parent. What is a good approach? This question is not about sorting a list. It's about retrieving the depth of a particular display object.
Example
Display list:
A (root)
B1
C1
C2
D1
B2
......
My list:
list = [E1, F4, A, B2, B1, C3, ..., N9, N8]
Bottom-up:
N9, N8, F4, E1, C3, B2, B1, A
Top-down:
A, B2, B1, C3, E1, F4, N9, N8
Does not matter if N9 before N8 or N8 before N9. Important is that any N is before M (first run) or any M before its children N* (second run).

I have a TextArea and a DataGrid. I've populated the DataGrid with a list of text files in a directory. Now I'm trying to load the selected file into the TextArea. I'm getting a null pointer exception when selecting a file from the list, which tells me I'm not accessing it right...I think.
<s:TextArea id="mainTextField" x="0" y="0" width="730" height="523"

Using loadVars and importing variables into Flash through a text file, is there a way to automatically list all of the variables that are in the Text file? For example say my text file had these variables:
&foo=chuck&
&mario=luigi&
&frodo=hobbit&
If I didn't know the names of the variables foo mario and frodo, could I somehow scan the text file for all variables and simply list:
chuck, luigi and hobbit?

It's my understanding that a display object cannot be in the display list more that once.So if I add something to the stage shouldn't a second addition of the same object replace the first? for instance:

there should now only be one "myDisplayObject" on the stage.

I want to create a simple high score list of 10 high scores of a game. From reading the forums I seem to get the idea that flash cannot create a simple text file. I don't have php or asp but do have cgi capability. Does anyone know where I can find a simple cgi-script that will allow me to write the text the cgi receives to a simple text file: game.sco I want to be able to write a single long string to it so that I create a string of values and can load it back in using flash loadvariables. I can create the string in flash... but how do I write it to a text file using a cgi script? the text file would include this string...I already know how to read it and split it to parse it into arrays:
