I can load the xml in the first time just fine but when i try to reload the xml to get the new data it comes up undefined. What do I need to do? Do i need to clear the xml object and then reload the data? Am i reloading it wrong? I call the code again using this function and the data comes up undefined

I'm creating a gallery of thumbnails and main images from a loaded XML file.The initial load is fine and all is working, Thumbnails are produced in a masked movieclip and the first image is defaulted to display at start perfectly well. The gallery also has several categories in it which a user can view by clicking a button for each. eg Sites, Designs, Cards etc. Each of these categories information are held within different separate XML files. eg sites.xml, designs.xml and cards.xml etc.
Now here lies the problem. When a user clicks a new button the new XML loads the new information and the files display, but on top of the thumbnails/main images that were already present because the file that was initially open has not cleared. So what I want to do is simply remove the data that is currently being displayed, so in essence removes the images etc. Then replace those with the images from the new XML file.Is this at all possible because from searching the last week I haven't been able to find it. I guess I can't see the wood for the trees at the moment.
I was wondering... i thought this might be a dumb question to ask but ive been wondering if it is possible to remove all the data that was inserted into an array?
i.e.
ActionScript Code:
var loadAllThumbnails:Array = new Array("poop1", "poop2", "poop3", "poop4", "poop5");
someBtn.onRelease = function(){
//clears/emptys the array when released
}
I'm wondering if it's possible to access a shared object's data (once it's been changed) without reloading the swf. Specifically, I have two swfs: one changes the data in the so and lets the second swf "know" via a localconnection. I have a function in the second swf that fires via the local connection.[code]This function looks for the new value however it doesn't show the updated value in my textfield unless I refresh the browser. Thoughts?
View 1 RepliesI am a fairly new as3 user and am working on a video player that loads an xml file into a URLloader as a playlist. I have everything working but I want to add a few buttons to change the content of the playlist. All of the data will come from the same xml document, so I don't think i have to reload the xml. I can get the content to load when the button is pushed, but it jsut adds to the previous content instead of replacing i. How to clear the content before adding?
Here is my code (that relates to this) so far....
public class playlist_controller extends MovieClip {
private var xml_loader:URLLoader;
public function playlist_controller():void {
////load the xml file
xml_loader = new URLLoader();

I am in the middle of making an xml driven menu. Each button has an image which loads from an external folder and 3 dynamic text fields. The content for the text fields is taken from an external XML file and I would also like the image to be defined in the XML file. The problem I am having is when I use the code attached below .I get the following error message; :
'Error opening URL
'file:///C|/Documents%20and%20Settings/barry.gee/Desktop/undefined'
However when I manually enter the image url as commented out in the attached code the image loads fine.
I cross with a problem that I do not understand why is happening. I a AS3 and php getting the results from the database. The php is working fine since I test it. but the request from the flash give me a result of "undefined" .I have a text area on the flash file in which is supposed to show the results from the php. This code so far:
AS3:
import flash.display.*;
import flash.events.*;
import flash.net.URLLoader;[code]....
This is most the code and I get a undefined result in the textarea in flash.

I'm writing code that takes data from mysql that's processed by a PHP script. It's actually a bit bizarre, at least to me. Anyway, here's some basic AS3 code that's moving toward what I want to do:
var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
var urlRequest:URLRequest=new URLRequest("receive.php");
urlRequest.method=URLRequestMethod.GET;[code]....
For some reason, the statement "trace(evt.target.data);" produces a whole pile of garbled text before the actual stuff that it's supposed to show Because of problem #1, I've had to include a throwaway variable at the beginning, otherwise the first variable I try to pass into AS3 comes back as undefined. This causes errors when I run my flash movie in the IDE, but when I run it from the browser it doesn't seem to have any effect.But this is the strangest thing of all whenever I make any changes to the database (and subsequently try to load data from different variables), the new variables come back as undefined. For example, let's say that I add another entry to the database, and decide to load students 2, 3, and 4 instead of 1, 2, and 3. When I do that, any new data I've added comes back as undefined, even though when I view the PHP output in my browser, it looks just fine.
And now for the REALLY bizarre part: I'll copy that output, paste it into my PHP script as an echo statement, comment everything else out, and my flash movie runs fine. Even though the output from the PHP script is exactly the same, it gives me errors.
I have build a simple flash application to try to make changes to an xml and save it. The application has two buttons: load xml - that loads the xml and write xml - that saves whatever is in the textbox to the xml. Then when pressing load xml again, it should load the modified xml.

A client has asked me to update the create for a flash widget, they have a problem with the widget displaying "Undefined" where there is no data being pulled in from the XML. What they have asked me to do is write a bit of actionscript to display "Sorry, there is no offers at the moment" instead of it dipslaying "Undefined".

I have frame 1 and frame 2 which are almost the same. Both have a movie clip TAB. This tab has buttons: button 1, button 2, button 3. When I click button 1, it will show a text, and so on..If I am at frame 1, and I click button 2, it is ok. But when I go to frame 2, TAB movieclip is still at button 2! I think it is not reloading.
View 2 RepliesURL...Once you get to my portfolio menu homepage, click on Print design. Everything there loads fine.The trouble is going back to the portfolio movieclip and having it display those menu buttons again.As you can see, if you try to click the view portfolio button at the top, it loads that movieclip to wherever you left off at.Basically, my question is: How can I have my "view portfolio" button reload/refresh the movieclip (page1) from the beginning in my pagecontainer_mc?
-page1 is a movieclip that shows my portfolio buttons.
-page2 is a movieclip that show the "about me" section.
-pagecontainer_mc is an empty movieclip that loads page1 or page2.[code]

I have a flash animation made on the main timeline of the SWF with a couple of layers, some functions and some keyframe labels. For example, i have a movieclip of a star that come across the screen and then triggers a dispatchEvent for the main timeline to go to frame label "next".[code]That SWF alone works perfectly. Problem comes when I try to load this SWF into another one.What happens is the loader keeps reloading the SWF over and over, overlapping them and the actionscript that's on the main timeline of the loaded SWF is ignored, the timeline plays continuously. Here is the code i use to load the SWF:[code]I have found a workaround by putting the entire animation inside one main movieclip and put that movieclip on the main timeline (one keyframe, one layer, no actionscript) and then load it. That way it works fine but it feel more like a patch than a solution. I would really like to know why it's bugging when you try to load an external SWF that use the main timeline with multiple layers, keyframes and actionscript.
View 1 RepliesI have an external SWF with some classes.I have a separate (main) SWF with the design and basic code that calls on the external SWF's classes.If I had to change code in the external swf and republish it, how do I use the updated SWF's class without having to republish the main SWF (the one with the design)?
View 0 RepliesI have 4 buttons on Layer 1. button_1 to button_4. On Layer 2 I have 4 movie clips each with a timeline span of 5 kf's and a second layer above with a Stop action on the 1st and 5th kf. Each button has a piece of AS on it as follows:
on (release) {
_root.slide_1.play();
}
Each movie clip has an instance name from slide_1 to slide_2. Now when I preview the SWF and click on each button each MC will load and play BUT I have to click on the same button again to make the MC disappear. If I click 1-4 in that order once I click the 4th button and the MC loads for slide_4 I cannot make any of the previous MCs load anymore.
Now I realize there are more advanced ways to make this happen and I am using Flash CS4 but I'm not much of a programmer and can't seem to figure out why this is happening.
I created an external .swf that plays an mp3 and functions as a mute/unmute sound toggle.On its own it plays/toggles fine, but when I use loadMovie to load it into my main .swf it just starts reloading over and over until the song has started one after the next and it becomes a jumbled mess of overlapping songs.I'm going to keep searching through the forums, but does anyone have any clues? I use loadMovie for an animated gif .swf in the same main .swf and that doesn't give me any issues so I'm curious to know what my oversight is.

I'm having an odd issue with reloading SWFS. I start of with loading my SWF:
var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest( "RegionalIntro.swf" ); introSWF = new Loader();introSWF.load(req);addChild(introSWF);Then once I'm finished I unload:
removeChild(introSWF);introSWF.unloadAndStop(true);Now when I want to reload the SWF I run the first bit of code again I get this error:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.I cant work out why I'd get that the second time it loads and not the first. It's supposed to just be the same? This is being done inside Windows Projector .exe file, it's going to run as a kiosk application. I can catch the error by surrounding all of the code in the function at the top of the stack trace with a try/catch block. I trace the error and its the same, the weird thing is all the code executes as expected. All works fine and then throws an error
