I'm a totally new bee in Flash scripting. I want to make a flash movie which will load image and its hyperlink dynamically from external source. I know this is very common over the internet and as per some of the tutor I've done loading the image part but not able to sort out how to hyperlink that Below is the code
2) No XML file. The flash will communicate with a PhP page which will fetch the records from DB and give it to flash for loading
I know both the ways for loading data into flash i.e. from XML or DB. I just wanted to know which could be the best!! In my opinion, XML file would be a better option since no DB connectivity every time on website but there will be only one record at a time which will get changed once in every month which is preventing me from creating XML file for just 1 record!

Code:
myData = new LoadVars() myData.load("anastasio.txt") myData.onLoad = function(succes) {
[code]....
The text file "anastasio.txt" just have this line "image=photo.jpg". "holder_mc" is a blank movie clip. The image is loading properly but I dont know how to hyperlink that!! Can any one let me know how to do that dynamically.
Also, this is a very simple way of loading the image from text file but in real this will come from DB. The Admin will insert the image name and the url in DB and uploads the image to a specific folder from where the flash will load that image. I'm thinking what could be a better way from below to do the above stated task:
1) On insertion into DB, I need to create an XML file from DB fetching the image name and url and writing them to XML file. And every time the flash will load these from XML file instead of connecting to DB server.
2) No XML file. The flash will communicate with a PhP page which will fetch the records from DB and give it to flash for loading

I have created a flash file named "test.swf" and this file will call the "getdata.asp" file to retrieve the data from the database. There are multiple rows of returned data.
How do I make the hyperlink to each of the <button> so that whenever a <button> is clicked, the "http://localhost/getdetail.asp?code=<key>" will be called, whereby <key> is the code associated to each of the row.This is the code in my Flash file.

I am currently trying to pull RSS data into a project for my first time and am trying to get 3 (potentially 4) boxes filled with rss data that will be updated. So far, I am going with Actionscript 3. So far I have the code below, but it puts data in a listbox. What is the easiest way to put the data in three dynamic text boxes inside a movie clip, so I have one for the title, one for description and one for link (shown as 'read more' text but a link using the url from the rss value)?I am really banging my head against the wall on this one and want to get it sorted asap,I have also attached an image to show what I am trying to do:I also want to know if it's possible to show rss values only if they exist. For example, my xml feed currently only has 3 items that change, and i will be assigning these to boxes, but is it possible to display a fourth if it exists, and if it doesn't it just shows the first?[code]
Is it possible to add a ClickTag for tracking purposes to dynamic text (hyperlink) in a scrollbar box in Flash CS5? I have ever only added a ClickTag to a button and/or banner before.

The carousel itself is OK, everything works, including the click the icon to read the description.The only problem is that I need to have a hyperlink in one of the descriptions.

I have been trying to figure out how to create this movieclipI have a bunch of images which is laid out horizontally (x axis). The functionality is very simple, when I click on the movieclip it will allow me to drag it from right to left and vice versa. This part is simple enough. I face a problem when it comes to the end and the beginning of the movieclip. How do I make it undraggable when it reaches the end of the movie clip and vice versa when I drag it back to the beginning.
I am using a Carousel i found online , everything is working fine and it also uses am XML file which contains the icons and the tooltip . If somebody could explain how i would add a hyperlink into the XML file , so each icon points to its desired location , my XML is as follows :
I need to add a hyperlink to and advanced data grid. I would usually would us a renderer to do this, but in this case the columns i need to have hyperlinked will not have values in it until a "calculate button" is clicked. It's when I click the calculate button that the values to display in the hyperlink are created. So, what AS3 code could I add in the button.click handler to add hyperlinks.
Trying to make a dynamic gallery that pulls images (along with names and dimensions) from different folders on the server. Want clients to be able to drop new images into these folders and have them pulled into the gallery dynamically. Do I need to use PHP as I did with AS2? or can AS3 pull the image names and dimensions from the folders on the server?

I am creating an image dynamically on flex. This images changes (as in changes image source) when the user clicks on it. Images are PNG format and I replace it with this code:
img.source = PATH_TO_IMAGE;
The problem with this is when I replace the image is it is not smooth even if you set the image property to smoothBitmapContent.
Is there a way to smoothen images when you are trying to replace the source?
Need to:1) Create bytearray from BitmapData in Flex2) Pass this bytearray (or maybe converted to string with b64) to php script3) Convert this bytearray again to image in PHP and show it.
I have a flash file that is pulling images in dynamically from a PHP page. The images will come in all different sizes so I need to resize them once they are loaded to fit in the containers that they are being loaded into...I thought onEnterFrame was the best way to do this? So I have the following:
Code: onEnterFrame = function (){ for (i = 0; i < 9; i++){
1.I am doing a spinning wheel game, where the user gets 3 spins. After each spin, an image will display at the top of the wheel - of what they have won. At the end of the 3 spins they can then choose what they would like from the 3.Now, how can you display image like this? Would it be a 'Graphic' symbol or a 'Button' if it's a button (which i believe is the case) how can you display an image. In the code hint doesn't seem to be a parameter that you can edit to change a source.
2.I'm using Flash CS5 Pro, and i notice on a Lynda.com video that he goes to 'View->Simulate Download'. Mine doesn't have this, just before i publish would like to do a preloader but my version doesn't seem capable of doing it.
3.I was asked during work to make a form before my game starts, i'm wary about making significant edits like this because scared will break it.Is it easy/safe to insert a frame before it happens?
4. I have an EnterFrame event and it seems to play over and over again - as if it's on a loop, is this normal?
5. I have tried to publish my swf as html, but my movie would go from 1 dot aligned in the middle to 5, and back to 1 again.. like a preloader.. but it would never start.
My question is related to putting a border around an image. I am dynamically loading images from an xml file and they appear as thumbnails. I want to put a 1 or 2 pixel black border around the image when I load it. The problem that I see is that some of the images are portrait and others, landscape. I hope there is a way to do this in AS? I have searched the forum but nothing.
I have a dynamic border with a loader and buttons and whatnot. It works for the most part, but when the images have not loaded on the persons machine before, there is an occasional glitch preventing it from displaying properly(the border shrinks to nothing, the loading bar goes to aobut 10px, etc.)
