I need my for loop to read my var. I am passing in lets say B. I trace it out so I know it is avaiable, but my for loop will not read it.
for (q = 0; q < myLetters_array.length; q++)
{
eval(X)+_groups_mc[myLetters_array[q]].gotoAndStop(1);
}
I can't get my button's to trace out; it's not reading my rollovers. When I manually write it out (bottom) it works.[code]
View 2 RepliesI am changing the flashvars variables v1=value&v2=value ect then after the flash movie runs I am changing the variables externally by javascript, so far so good.when flash first loads it reads the vars correctly.when I try to read them ( after the change ) it keeps reading the old values.[code]everything works except I cannot seem to read the changed FlashVars.

View 2 RepliesI am attempting to use a loop to create text field with the loop's current value. The code looks like this:
ActionScript Code:
for (var i = 1; i<=10; i++) {
var 'nameHolder'+[i]+'_txt':TLFTextField = new TLFTextField();
'nameHolder'+[i]+'_txt'.x = 40
'nameHolder'+[i]+'_txt'.y = 40
'nameHolder'+[i]+'_txt'.text = "Hello World"
}
So essentially what it should do is create 10 text fields at 40, 40 with the text: "Hello World".

The project will have a web based interface but the actual presentation will be in flash. So the premise is you create a presentation, flash then reads the XML data, creates a menu and presents the other XML data in a linear fashion and my first question is whether the XML is in the correct format. I am not the one programming the XML side of things we have a .NET programmer doing that and he has not worked with Flash too much and this is also something new for me as well.
Code: Select all<presentation>
<info>
<name>My First Presentation</name>

I have need of loops / nested loops that pick different figures depending on where you are in the loop. The whole function needs to run through 'ml' times. 'ml' is a dynamic figure. Loop 1 = While the loop is within the first 12 iterations, 'exconemp' must equal 100. For iterations 13 - 24, 'exconemp' must equal 102.5, for 25 - 36 it will be 105.06, for 37 - 48 it will be 107.69. This needs to change every 12th iteration until it has reached 'ml'. The calculation takes the value of the previous 'exconemp' and then multiplies that by 0.025.
Loop 2 = While the loop is within the first 120 iterations, 'abc' must equal 0.015 and any further iterations must use 0.01. This must also work in a way to figure out whether 'ml' is higher or lower than 120 and work accordingly. My main issue is this - how do I get the loops to run through as this: While the iteration is < 12, do this, THEN take the final figure (12th iteration) and start on 13 - 24, do this THEN etc etc. How do I produce a THEN statement? I can get the code to pick up the final values, but not change along the way.

I recently made a website and the links for the main page do not seem to link properly to their rightful pages when I put the site online (but it does work well when Im just testing the site on my computer in my Flash program) I know that the website I made is very large - so I was wondering if that could be a reason for why the pages don't load properly - also one of the pages links to another site and although that seems to work on my swf when I play it in my Flash player - it doesn't work when I put it online-
Finally my sound quality is not that great for the site. The songs are in mp3 format - would it be better to make them .wav files?
Or are all these problems related and its just that my computer does not have enough power to convert this massive flash website into a proper swf file? If this is my problem. What do I do?
The site that I made is [URL]
I have a move that reads class files located in folder called 'src' and has been working once I changed the path to absolute. for some reason now my movie has decided not to work.
this is how I create the path:Go to porperties and click 'Edit' then clicking the AS3 'settings'. I then go to the 'Source path' tab and click 'browse folder' icon to the folder of the classes.having done all this my movie still does not work.
I have an XML doc that was exported from FileMaker Pro that I need to read into flash to get the variables from. The XML doc is laid out like this (shortened for brevity):
<FMPXMLRESULT>
<ERRORCODE>0</ERRORCODE>
<PRODUCT BUILD="06-20-2006" NAME="FileMaker Pro"/>
<DATABASE DATEFORMAT="M/d/yyyy"/>

It keeps telling me a term is undefined and has no properties. This I've isolated to the backgroundArray.push statement. Just not sure how to fish the data out of that XML doc properly. What call would I use to iterate thru the different ROW tags to get to the DATA info?
I'm creating a interactive 'thing' where I've got buttons which when clicked show a an image and display text relating to the value in the XML file.
The XML is working and I can trace the any percentage(value I'm looking to find).
Code:
function LoadXML(e:Event):void
{
xmlData = new XML(e.target.data);

using the authoring tool to test,I find I can only read certain keys via:stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, keyDown);
But when I test in a browser, I can indeed read all the keys. So the IDE must be intercepting certain keypresses. E.g., I can read w and d but not e.
How can I read all keys? Testing in a browser all the time is a bit inconvenient

View 2 RepliesI would like to have two applications communicate with each other. One app is a Flash running the browser and the other one is another app of ours that is distributed as *.exe file. We need the C/C++ application to read some info out of the SOL file, that is written by the Flash app.
Any other mean that can be used to read the SOL file from a C/C++ application? How often is the format of the SOL file being changed ?
I know there is a way to read variables from PHP, i have seen the many tutorials. What I want to do is slightly different. I need to load the flash file with a variable.I want the user to have a url containing a variable, the PHP will then get the posted variable and load it into the flash file on the page. Is there a way to load the variable into the flash file?URLtest.php?var="list.xml"Inside PHPget posted variableload flash file and load the var into the actionscriptFlash embeded on page or on a redirect pageActionscript uses variable which was originally embedded in the URL

What I have so far...sure there is a better way to do this and as I learn AS3 I will figure it out. The following is what I put together where I now have three instances of the segmented thumbnail button that shows an image when cliked on. What I figure out why it only reads the one xml file.
My XML files: images, images_a, images_b
<images><image full="images/full/image1.jpg" thumb="images/thumb/image1.jpg" /> <image full="images/full/image2.jpg" thumb="images/thumb/image2.jpg" /> <image

I have a dynamic textbox in flash called vt. It has attached to it the following in a class file:
vt.text = xml.video.@vt[cv];
and pulls the information from an XML File:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<playlist>
<video src='videos/video1.flv' vt='abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz'/>
</playlist>
Now for some reason only the letters a d g i l n o will actually display when tested with all the alphabet above.
UPDATE: Solved - Just needed to change the textbox AA to Use Device Fonts :) (New user cant answer my own question)
I am trying to work with this xml in AS3. [URL]. But I am getting a url error. I was wondering how to read this in, or what might be causing me to get this error:
ActionScript Code:
Error opening URL '[URL]'
Error #2044: Unhandled ioError:. text=Error #2032: Stream Error. [URL]&List={76269379-92F6-4418-8605-0A5414F91AA9}&View={9F672220-5766-409C-9C90-D746C4B85223}
at SharepointXML_fla::MainTimeline/frame1()
The xml shows up when you go here, but it won't read in.
Does AS3 have a Class that can read in lines from a .txt file and assign values to variables. For example, say I have a Player class with three int variables health, armor and damage. I also have a corresponding player.txt file that holds the variables.
health = 3
armor = 4
damage = 5
What code can i use to assign these variables their correct values in Flash.IMPORTANT It must be a txt file. XML is not applicable.
I'm trying to get my program to detect when certain pixels (not shapes) have been hit but don't know what sort of code to use for "reading" pixels. I read about the getPixel method, but it seems that's only for bitmap images?If it helps, I'm trying to put it into use with hitTest, with specific pixels rather than shapes in general.
View 0 RepliesI'm trying to read a url from an xml file and attach an onRelease event to a movieclip that opens the url when clicked.
Code:
var thelink = getValue(findNode(i, "link")).toString();
var thelink2 = "../news/Press Releases/testpdf.pdf";
if (thelink <> "")
{
tempMC.bat.onRelease=function(){ getURL(thelink); }
}
If I use the "thelink" variable as input to the getURL function, I get a "Page not found" error.If I use the "thelink2", it works as expected.When I look in the debugger, "thelink" and "thelink2" are identical!Here is the code for the findNode function. I've had no problems before with this code, so I don't think the problem is there.
Code:
function findNode(node, nodeName)
{
if (node.nodeName==nodeName)
