ActionScript 2.0 :: Dynamically Loading Colors On Page From An External Php?
Apr 1, 2004
I work at this place that does tons of partner sites for our main company, that all the same site, just with different color schemes and logos. i'm in the middle of redoing a lot of the elements and making them flash based. i realized if i can have a way of maybe dynamically loading the colors on the page from an external php or xml document, that i would save myself and other much work in the future.

Essentially, I've got a MC container that's created dynamically based off an XML file (basically for every <title></title> I've got, it makes a new "card"). Now within the context of each <title></title> grouping I've got <imgs></imgs> in which I specify the path to images that are related.All of that works perfectly, save for the external jpg files actually appearing on the stage. The MC I add them to does, but the external image doesn't.My problem is- I can't add the external images until they're completely loaded (or so it appears). The thumbnail BG I use is blank. So I know for a fact that the thumbnail BG isn't occluding the loaded thumbnails.

I'm trying to make a flash site and basically what I'm doing is loading an external page on top of the swf without having to reload the swf.
This is a perfect example of what I'm trying to achieve: [URL]

Ive finished Kirupa's excellent Photogallery Tutorial and Im very happy with the result. I have exported the page as a SWF file and I now want to load it into my main page (essential in the design on my website). But when I do so the larger images do not show up! Strangely however, the title and the thumbnails are displayed - so the XML file is still being loaded. Additionally, the drop down menu I made also does not work.

I am trying to load dynamic data into text fields with in flash (.swf) the system is a closed circuit (no internet & web access) basically there are about 10 standalone computers connect through a network and one central computer i created a flash which will be downloaded to all the computers at once and each computer has a unique (name).My goal is to load the different data into the text field for each computer:Computer 1 would have winner 1 Computer 2 would have winner 2and so one........Steps the code should do..1. call function and load the "unique (name)."of the computer by going to("c:/myharddrive/local.ini"); flash will reconize the "ini file to say "this is computer 12. then have the txt request come from("c:/CMS/MediaFiles/Data2.txt");when i publish the file out there is no errors-When I view the files on each computer there is no data (blank screen")so my guess it is not seeing the path for newURLRequest("c:/myharddrive/local.ini");r new URLRequest("c:/CMS/MediaFiles/Data2.txt");can anyone breakdown the code and let me know how flash can go to those specific areas on each individual computer and pull the data into flash

I have built a horizontal scroller, you can see images there that go from left to rigth, what I wanted to do is when a user clicks on a thumbnail:
1)go to full screen mode
2)create an empty movie clip and load a jpg into it
I did it, but when I go back to the normal screen the empty movie clip is still there. How can I get rid of it when the user goes to the normal screen? it seems to be that when I load the jpg into the emptymovieclip the empty movie clip doesn't have the click property is that true?

is that whenever I click on one of the button on the menu, that the related external .SWF loads into the container with a preloading bar and %. I already did all my .SWF files.

I have a Main.swf that loads an external Child.swf, also the Child.swf loads some external files. My problem is that once the Main.swf loads the Child.swf. The paths that Child.swf reads (for it's external files) are no longer normal and it reads the paths from the Main.swf. (Main.swf is in another folder). Is there a way to lock the paths of the child.swf dynamically from the Main.swf?

I am attempting to load text from an external .txt file into dynamic text fields using AS2When you click on a button (named forward and back), I want the next &-denoted "news" item to repopulate the current dynamic text boxes to replace the first bit of info.This is what I have so far, but I'm stumped. I used the trace to make sure the button is "clicking" (it is), but I can't get the integer to go up a number and repopulat the fields.
var newsData:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
newsData.load("data.txt");
newsData.timeline = this;

I have a datagrid. It is populated dynamically by an XML file. I need to be able to set each row's text color seperately. For example, if my variable "type" is "urgent", it would be a red text color.I've spent almost 2 hours trying to figure this out. I've tried setStyle, setRendererStyle, setTextFormat and many more and dozens of combinations.
PHP Code:
import fl.controls.DataGrid;
import fl.controls.dataGridClasses.DataGridColumn;

I'm trying to dynamically change movieclip colors. My MovieClips (on the main timeline) are named box_mc1, box_mc2, box_mc3, etc. I have the following code, but I can't figure out why it doesn't work.[code]I don't quite understand why the trace statement doesn't work either, but the mouse pointer changes to a hand when I move over the MovieClips.

recently i have tried loading external icons dynamically into my vertical carousel using XML and the icons got loaded successfully into the carousel ... but once they are loaded the entire processor is getting consumed ( even though its a decent config ) and the animation is becoming sluggish ... i've tried and searched the net for a solution but i couldnt find one related to this... i just used actionscripting in my .fla and no tween ( in the main timeline or the movieclip in the library) ...
var numberOfItems:uint;
var xmlPath:String = "intro.xml";

I am a scientist who knows molecular biology well but is a neophyte to Flex/ActionScript. I created a ColumnChart representing a probability histogram. I want to allow users to select a range of values on the X-axis via 2 sliders separate from the chart itself (one for the minimum value, one for the maximum.) By default the column bars are blue. But when the user selects a range, I would like to highlight that range in the chart a different color (eg. orange). How can this be done using ActionScript?

Let's say a user can pick fifty different hat colors and styles to put on an avatar. The avatar can move his head around, so we'd need the same types of movements in the symbol for when that happens. Additionally, it gets which hat should be on the 'avatar' from a database. The problem is that we can't just make 50 different frames with a different hat on each. And each hat symbol will have the same movements, it'll just be different styles, colors and sizes. So how can I make one variable that is the HAT, that way we can just put the appropriate hat symbol into the variable and always be able to call Hat.gotoAndplay('tip_hat') or any other generic functions.... Does that make sense?

Say I have an image. We'll call it "vectorman". It is a liner gardient in flash that has say "f5f5f5" as the top color and a gradient down to "ff9900". I then turn "vectorman" into a graphic, then into a movie. Now he sits on the main stage with the same colors all the time... poor vectorman. I would like the ability to control those 2 colors of vectorman via an XML file.
I know XML can control css and dynamic text fields, but how do I control the color of an graphic?

I wonder what kind of class(es) I should use to accomplish this task. I have two predefined colors, 0xFF0000 and 0x00FF00 (red and green), and I would like to set a number of gradiants of colors between these two colors. [code]This generates a random color, but I don't want to generate just any random one. Does anyone know what kind of color class I should use to accomplish my task objective?

I have an invisible movie clip I want to go to the NEXT page, as it goes to that page, I want it to essentially remove itself (page1.swf). e.g. page1.swf (contains fancy.swf - [AS2], 4 images, several invisible MCs with code) has an invisible MC + on click = remove page1.swf.
To be clear, this does work. It goes to page2.swf and page2.swf goes to page1.swf as it should. The issue is that if the user repeatedly does this (just 2 or 3 times) the fancy.swf becomes impossible to control and Flash (CS5) crashes. I think this is due to the fact it's not unloading the entire thing, it's only unloading fancy.swf on click (I hope). So underneath page2.swf is page1.swf, and when the user clicks back to page1.swf, page2.swf AND page1.swf are underneath that, and so on and so forth.

I have 20 different flash files that i need to play randomly when a user enters a zip code. I am done with the project, but the way I have done it is I think could have been done a lot better. I have 20 different aspx files that have the flash object. I redirect users to different aspx files based on the random number using Random class. Is there a way to just have one aspx file where the param value and data could be passed using a variable. That way, its easier to maintain and i don't have to go to 20 different aspx files to update anything. Here is what the flash object looks like.
<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="960" height="952"
id="HOT" align="middle">
<param name="movie" value="../FlashFiles/FirstTime/HOT_00.swf" />
<param name="quality" value="high" />

i'm trying to build a flash site and ran into a problem... i have a gallery page with a bunch of page numbers at the top. when you click on one, a movieclip loads of some images coming in.so the problem i'm having is that i made a little animation for when you roll the mouse over the page number (they scale up when the mouse is over, scale back when the cursor moves away)... what it's doing is when you roll over, it goes to a certain frame in the timeline and plays that animation.that's all working cool, but i need it to not do that once it's clicked on. so basically when you actually click on a page number, the over script should stop until you go to another page... here's the code i've written,
function over(event:MouseEvent):void {
this.gotoAndPlay(30);}
function out(event:MouseEvent):void {[code].....

I am building a flash site for my own photography business and the site is designed in such a way that it will scale from 1200x720 down, but never up. So on the biggest monitor, the biggest this should get is 1200x720.
I am having an issue where after you resize the page down smaller than the biggest, i the main container of the content "mainStage" is too small, and even after maximizing the window, it is still stuck on a small size.
-- if you refresh the page with the window at ANY size, it works PERFECTLY.
-- if you resize the browser without refreshing the page, you will reproduce my issue.
I have uploaded the page here to be seen. [URL]
-- Here is the source for this. [URL]
i really want to get this resizing dynamically to work before i work on the rest of the page.
