ActionScript 2.0 :: Loading Stuff From A Txt File To Be Used As Numbers?
Jun 29, 2009
Just wondering. Is it possible to load data from a external txt file in AS2? in particular using the data loaded as a number variable to use for say a Maximum number in a timer counter? for example, say the text file has the variable&numOfPhotos=3how can you make it so flash AS2 can read the variable and convert the number (which I guess is a string) into a Number variable, ready for the swf to use in number related activities?

Have a little homepage, where I load some of the stuff from external swf's. But I have some buttons which is gonna be on top of the external load content, but when I export it the buttons doesn't appear anymore. Underneath I have some AS which I use to load the the external content, and to control my buttons.
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickHandler_contact);
function clickHandler_contact(event:MouseEvent):void{
if (event.target.name!=null){
switch(event.target.name) {
case "contact_back_btn": gotoAndStop("index");

on Flash MX 2004 having problems with loading external jpegs and stuff. I got a tutorial from here and loading from a web address on it is okay,
but I can't get my one to load from my hard drive because there is always an error with the path. I know it'll ultimately be on line anyway but I want to know what I'm doing wrong.[code] What's the correct format for putting in a file path?

i have a database with two tables. one table holds the following:[code]i have a php script that goes as follows (i'm ignoring the description fields for now):[code]now i'm not 100% sure this script is correct, so if anyone sees problems in it, please do let me know. i know that it needs some additions to pull the linking table (status) to display the status_id, but i have no clue how to write that as im not familiar with php, i just took this script from a user on this forum (i apologize for forgetting your name) and edited it.
anyway, i want to be able to pull out all those fields and load them up in flash so i can use them in the scripts over there.i have a grasp on the LoadVars(); a bit but not sure how to pull all this out and if its correct so that i can use it in flash. the fields im most worried about using is the number field in the lots table and the status_id (in both i guess since its a linking table).

I've used this script:
[AS]
fscommand("allowscale", "false");
_root.main.attachMovie("boxContect", "boxContect", 1)
bar.useHandCursor = false;
space = 20;
friction = 0.9;
speed = 4;
[Code] ....
If I try to load some thing dynamically into the main MovieClip, it works but the scrollbar doesn't works properly, it doesn't noticed that the height from main has changed.

So what I'm looking to do now is to actually get that movie clip - in this case an arrow -to rotate around another object - a ship - at a radius of 150 pixels and facing the mouse.This basically means to get the arrow to follow where the mouse goes around the ship - limited by the 150 pixel radius circle it can follow.p.s. This is the code so far:
ActionScript Code:
theArrow.x = theShip.x
theArrow.y = theShip.y

I have a problem. I'm trying to get number values from an XML file, but when I parse them, apparently flash doesn't seem to see them as numbers. I base this off the fact that when I type this:
ActionScript Code:
var xmlNode = this.firstChild.childNodes[0];
var lAdder:Number = xmlNode.attributes.lengthAdderX;

I am almost finished with my project and I am once again stumped on how to tackle a search feature. I have one more section to do that will be a printing function.
Having an XML file, I need to search this file based on a range for criteria.
My XML data will have many sets of data separated by a gamenumber tag. The gamenumber is unique in value but the sub data will not be. There will be same values in that range.
So what I am looking to do is search anywhere from 2 to 10 gamenumbers at a time with 2-10 numbers. These numbers are in an input box and get called from a click event listener.
I have the routine working to search 1 data set but I can for the life of me think of how to do multiple data sets in one shot.
Here is an example,
Search games 2-5 for numbers 2 7 13 19 43 80 etc... Each number is in it's own input box.
The results could be an array or 4 different strings. It should be dynamic because the searches will changes from 2-10 games.
I am using an if else if statement to separate the searches and run it's own routine. So when the start number is not null and the second search number is null, it only searches a single record. The search parses only the data based on the start number search input box.
But if the end number is not null, it will go to the routine and search the scope of the the number range. I am thinking that the routine starts with the start number and then use each gamenumber in a loop to parse the data for that game only and store the results. Append each result into an array or strings.
I looked at for each and for in loops but I am not seeing who to put it together yet.
Here is what the XML Data looks like
Code:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<Container>
<Game>

how to do this and not found much, so here goes:
I want to generate a variable number of random numbers less than 16 with no duplicate numbers
Ive posted the fla, and what i'm doing is generating a random number and putting it into an array then using a for loop to cycle through the array for each new random number to check if its already there. if it is, then i want to regenerate that number.
if you test the fla you'll see that all i get in my array is some lovely zero's and i sort of know why this is, but don't know how to stop it.

I am trying to convert a string having numbers to an integer.
//15 9's are there
var str:String="999999999999999"
var res:Number = new Number(str);
But it is not able to convert correctly as the the var res now has the value 100000000000000000. I know that the number has 52 bits of memory, then why is it not able to do the conversion?

create a function that picks out X amount of numbers from a set of numbers? So if X=3, then i need this function to pick out 3 different numbers from say a set of numbers (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8) and then stored it into X number of variables.
In saying that, X will only =2, and =5. So in the first instance, i'll need 2 random numbers from the set above that are not the same numbers, and second instance 5 random numbers from the set above (also no repeats of numbers). Then i need to be able to store those 2 or 5 different random numbers from the set into variables to call them with other functions.

I ran in to a problem I could not solve for a very long time While I was using Actionscript 3 in order to change the text of a classic text object in my .fla flash file, I did not see any change in my text field, and noticed that it doesn't display any numbers and some other characters (just some specific letters DID work).

I am generating random numbers between two numbers by the code bellow:
ActionScript Code:
public function randomRange(max:Number, min:Number = 0):Number
{
return Math.round(Math.random() * (1+max - min) + min);
}
trace(randomRange(3,-31));
But I need a code which will return some times '3' and some times '-31'. Not the number between them.

I have been using Actionscript 3.0 in Adobe Flash Builder for a few weeks,and I really like it! Bare with me because I'm not really good at it, yet. Anyway, I was wondering how would I go by adding up odd numbers from an array of numbers? I know how to make all of the numbers add up, but adding only the odd numbers I'm not so sure how to do it.

How would you defer loading of other graphics on the page until after the images in a Flash gallery's images.xml file are finished loading?Is there any way to detect for this, or would I only be able to check if the flash swf object is finished loading? I'm pretty sure the swf object would be loaded/ready as with document.getElementById('flashobject').onload = function(){}; before the corresponding images have loaded though, instead of after.

Everything seems to be a string right now & that kinda ruins the whole xml as an internal data structure thing, I don't need a big tree of string I need typed data :-/ Are there any changes I can make to either my XML files or my AS3 code that will force it to cast ints as ints and Numbers as Numbers? Or maybe some kind of type schema I can impose? Not really worked with XML til recently so chances are I'm just ignorant of the canonical way to deal with this...

I have a one-frame .fla with script on one layer and a movie clip on another. The movie clip has an instance name of "titleBar," which moves from left to right using dynamic tweening.The tween code moves it from an X position of 200 to a X position of 820.Then I have a function called "xChange," which waits for titleBar's X value to be 820. Once it does, I'd eventually want to load an external swf but I'm just running a trace for now.Again, Here's the code.
Code:
import fl.transitions.Tween;
import fl.transitions.easing.*;

What the code is doing - its assigning each node of the xml file to one of the boxes in the fla file.My question is if we can assign to each of the node one box dynamicly? So bassicaly if i will have 5 nodes the code will -draw???- a box and putted the name of the node in the box.And so on, for each of the nodes? And if i will have 6 nodes, then it will draw 6 boxes and so on..

I know how to do stuff in flash. Ok, so here's what I want to know..on this guessing game, I want the person to enter in their 1 - 3 digit guess, the the number they need to guess is 577 (later I want to make this random whenever they go to play it). If they guess under 577, I have a box to say their guess is too low. If they guess over 577, it says their guess is too high. However, I am not sure how to make it so that what they put in the text box, it takes it as the new variable. I know this may sound confusing, but here is the .fla file.URL...
