ActionScript 2.0 :: Flash8 Load Several Xml Within Loop, Or Just Replace One?
Jan 30, 2010
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;
[Code].....

I want to access a webservice:getMonitorData() , on creationcomplete and returns an array, in an infinite loop so that the getIndex0.text is updated each time.Flex is not able to handle an infinite loop and gives a timeout error 1502. If I run the for loop until i<2000 or so it works fine.How can replace the loop so that my webservice is accessed continiously and the result is shown in getIndex0.text.This is how my application looks like:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<s:Group xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"

Trying to replace a timeline loop with a setInterval. For some reason, the function I am using to duplicate my movieclips is not working from setInterval but does work from a normal function call. Why would this be??? I know the functions is actually being called because I traced it. But the duplication of the ball does not.
birthBall = function(){
ball.duplicateMovieClip("ball"+_parent.counter, _parent.counter);
this["ball"+_parent.counter].colNumber = random(4);
this["ball"+_parent.counter]._x = _parent.column[this["ball"+_parent.counter].colNumber];

ive created a character loop for two characters that are in a walk cycle. when a button is pressed both characters change animation, now ONE of the characters is doing what i want it to, which is, change from walk to aim, then back to walk. but the other character is going from one animation to the second, and then just continuing to loop the second animation.

Let's say I have ten widgets that have ten items that need to be turned off. What am I doing wrong here?
Code:
for(i=1;i<=10;i++){
var tempWidget = ["widget0" + i];
trace(tempWidget);
tempWidget.item._visible=false;
}
The trace returns the correct value yet the loop doesn't turn the ten items off. Why?

i was looking into if there is anyway to work with sounds using actionscript?Basically im looking for something that
* Plays a sound in the library on loop
* stops that sound
* mute that sound (so it's still playing but cant be heard)
* unmutes that sound
the idea is so i can spread out this in scripts instead of in the frames.

I've got a movieClip that's scrolling across the stage that loops nicely (kinda like the many cloud animations out there).
I've set the clip up to stop it's scrolling on a rollOver, and start up again on the rollOut.
My problem is that after the rollOut the loop doesn't work. The movieClip just keeps travelling.
Code:
blue.onEnterFrame = function() {
blue._x -= 2;
if (blue._x<=-0) {

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].............

for some reason escapes me: using AS3 how can a swf load another swf to replace itself in the same loader on the stage, while simultaneously calling a randomizing function in the first frame of the main timeline, to randomize the next swf?At the end of each swf (called "koan_#.swf") there is the following old AS2 code...it was used to randomly select and then play a swf from koan array:
_root.index++
if(_root.index>_root.koan.length-1){
_root.index=0;

I'm having some real trouble getting .replace to actually replace something. Here's my code...

I can trace both newFiles[i] and keywords[i][whatever], but the replace doesn't replace anything. The regex is valid as well. I'm using regexr to test it, and it works perfectly there... but will not for me and I don't know why.

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 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.

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'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.

I have flash movie that I'm loading other movieclips and swfs into.At the moment when I load in a new swf, the timeline plays through the intro sequence, then when I select new content to load into replace it the movie simply vanishes without showing the outro sequence.It's been puzzling me for a while now but i've seen it used on many flash sites so i'm guessing there's definately a way to do it.
