ActionScript 2.0 :: Flash8 XML Vs XMP Load Information
Sep 15, 2006
I am reletively familiar with XML and how to load them in flash, but I have a new kind of file, XMP, and I was wondering if it could be loaded and used in flash similar to XML. My XMP's are automaticly generated by the new Adobe Lightroom software and look similar to XML's - a copy of a file below
Image002.xmp
Code:
<x:xmpmeta xmlns:x="adobe:ns:meta/" x:xmptk="Adobe XMP Toolkit 3.3-016, build -num-, -date-">
<rdf:RDF xmlns:rdf="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#">
[Code]....
All the XMP's are created the same with just the information changed and have the same name as the image the information is about. So can flash phase this kind of file? I want to use some of the information in an XML gallery with details of the pic shown from the AutoGenerated XMP file (current relevent info highlighed). Has anyone attemped to use XMP metadata in flash?
To simplify what I said above Every pic has an xmp file of the same name in the same folder as the pic. I want to use the generated information to display details about the image in an information box I am yet to create . The highlighted information is what I need to load at the moment but other information may come in handy when i get the page developed.

Let me see if I can explain this clearly. What I am trying to do is pull information from a seperate file into Flash to be used as variables. I have read several places that Flash cannot pull info from Excel, so that is problem number 1: How can I store the information in a spreadsheet-like file so that Flash can access it. Then I would like the program to use combo boxes to access that information. Say I am going to draw a shape, the first box would choose the shape (ie Square, Circle, Rectangle, ect); this would then determine what would be in the next box.
So if my squares could only be red, purple, or green and my circles could only be blue, pink, or orange and my rectangles could only be black, white, or yellow. If I choose rectangle in the first box, I need the second box to list the three colors available for that shape.

I have an input text field, with only one character and aligned to left, where i put information dynamically. If i put the character from actionscript, it doesn't align as it should. If i manually enter a character then it aligns well. After i manually added the character, if i try to add it from actionscript too, it aligns correctly. The font i use is created by me, and all the letters are aligned the same way. I embedded the font.

I want to load information from a Text file and then want to use in action script as a variable.What I did. I make a file with the name Text.txt and write there TextFld=You are Good Boy In flash I make a getText.fla in which i build a Text box at stage and set it to dynamic and the name of this variable is also TextFld Instance Name is Txt. Write the following code at main timeline
loadVariables("Text.txt",_root);
pretty fine it shows this information in flash but i want to use this variable in action script to do more action i.e i want to make flashy text. I want to store this information in a variable and then use that variable for other purpose.

I have seven movieclips that I want to load individual ChildNode information into from an XML file. Is there a way to pass that XML info into individual MovieClips for each individaul ChildNode?
Here's the code I have so far.

var myLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();myLoader.load(new URLRequest("links.xml"));myLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, processXML);function processXML(e:Event):void {myXML = new XML(e.target.data);trace(myXML.*);}

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?)

WHen I was learning AS2, it seemed incredibly easy to double it with PHP, but I am having a pretty hard time with AS3.Basically, all I need to do is do the same kind of thing that loadVars could in AS2. Just need to send a few pieces of POST information, and then load up the output of the script.I found this piece of code on the internet:
ActionScript Code:
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://www.mydomain.com/feed/myfeed?query=youlike&start=34");[code].........
But it doesn't work (when I replace the url with my URL, of course.)

The desired affect is simple: I have a single button... with each click I want it to load text into a dynamic text field and load a corresponding picture or movieclip.There are only three unique text/image combinations- after its displayed the third, with the next click I want it to just start over. All the text functions perfectly with each click.
The problem is:I use "createEmptyMovieClip" then use the resulting clip as a loader clip.. With the first click I want a movieclip from the library to load, so I use the "attachMovie" method- it displays the first library fine.With the next click I want to load an external swf- so I call the "loadMovie" method of the loaderclip... The external swf loads just fine replacing the first library clip.The third clip is where I have problems... now I want to load another library item into the loaderclip... so I tried using the attachMovie method again but the external swf remains static... then with the next click, I discover the first library item no longer loads and the external swf remains still playing- it's like once it's been loaded into the loaderclip it cant be moved...
So I tried adding the "unloadMovie" method in the code for the third click.. it successfully removed the swf... but the next line of code immediately after the unload statement, doesn't work. The line calls the attachMovie method for the loaderclip... but the library item doesnt load... Oddly enough, with the next click, the first library item now does load as if everything's fine... It seems like you cant use the unloadMovie and attachMovie on the same executing code? if that makes any sense... the basic idea was that if I couldnt get the attachmovie method to replace the loaded external swf, then I would use the unload method to remove it, then have code immediately after, to then execute the attachMovie method... but it still doesnt load the library clip. and I know it's not a type-o, because when I comment out the loadMovie and unloadMovie statements, it loads both the library items perfectly ? The code is below
var increment:Number = 1;
var verbiage1:String = "Hello World1";
var verbiage2:String = "Hello World2";[code].............

This is my first time ever constructing a web site ONLY using Flash 8. I normally just use elements here and there, and I am totally confused. The link to the project is here: [URL] I want the site to be set up so that when I click a button (at the bottom), an external .swf file loads into that gray box in the center. How do I start? Where do I start? I should be able to figure this out, but I am stuck.

I have a flash file which loads a movie clip on the click of a menu item.Now I am trying to add some dynamic data (xml) within this movie clip - In short I do have a dynamic tet box, and can access it as follows:
_level0.pages1.page.forumText.text
The problem is how and where do I load my XML. This is my code to load the xml data I tried to add it in the Frame for the movie clip and it came back with the following error :
**Error** Symbol=pages1, layer=Layer 3, frame=3:Line 21: Statement must appear within on/onClipEvent handler
headlineXML.load("FlashFile.xml");

I'm using a square shaped container (content_holder) to load movie clips which have a lot of animations spilling off the stage.In my container I have a mask which fixes this so all you see is the content within the square.PROBLEM: The width and height of content_holder is not accurate, as it also counts the overflowing animation which is MASKED. As a result this messes with my ability to center and manipulate the clip because its width/height is constantly changing.
QUESTION: Is there a simple way to load a movieclip into a container and LOCK its dimensions to a specific size? So the width is always fixed to the container's OR prevent the masked content from adding to the clip's width & height values?

I have attached the file for reference but would like to know how to start the mc 1936 when the file is published and the swf is first opened. I can get this to do this HOWEVER I cannot get the 1936 to then respond correctly as per the actionscript IE close when 1938 is clicked? 1936 keeps opening and I cannot get this to ONLY do this ONCE when first opened.

I am working on a gallery, the contents of which is arranged into categories and sub-categories. So, each category has a folder and sub-folders.
I have an xml file in the root directory which I'm using to create a menu. When the visitor clicks a button in the menu, the relevant set of images will appear (only one set at a time).
But, the thing I'm confused with is this...
If each sub-folder contains an xml list of images, should I
a.)load all the xml files right away? Into an array, for example, which will hold all the data? If so, How can I load xml files in a loop? And is this the right approach if there are a lot of files to include? Or,
b.)Is it possible to load the xml from each button and have it override the previous xml?
The code below loads an xml when the first button is pressed, but after that it does nothing!
Code:
function loadXML(loaded) {
if (loaded) {
xmlNode = this.firstChild;

I'm working on a site in which I have actionscript loading a blog from a php file. It doesnt seem to want to show the or other characters with accents, even though I have embedded those characters in the dynamic text field. here is the isolated text box: [URL]
and here is the php file it is loading from: [URL] Notice the diference? I wrote Espana once and the second time Reino de Espaa, which shows up in php but not in flash. My php is using "iso-8859-1" characters and I think I need to change it to unicode? When I load the text from a unicode txt file all the special characters show up. But I'm not sure how to do this or even exactly what unicode is.
