ActionScript 2.0 :: Logical Placements Of .load() And .onload()?
Aug 16, 2010
I got the following code from Adobe's 'Serverside ActionScript Language Reference'. Here it is:
Code:
myLoadVars = new LoadVars();
myLoadVars.onLoad = function(result){
trace("myLoadVars load success is " + result);
}
myLoadVars.load("http://www.someurl.com/somedata.txt");
if the purpose of the onload event handler is to confirm if the load operation is a sucess,than should it not be placed after the load command? In the above code, the onload event handler appears before the load and yet it works.

I posted this in another forum, no response yet, so I thought of posting it here as well. I got the following code from Adobe's 'Serverside ActionScript Language Reference'. Here it is:

I'm embedding a flash object in an html page and calling windows.onload to initialize the Flash movie. The problem is that the windows.onload does not wait for the Flash object to completely load. Is there way to make sure that the Flash object has fully loaded?
Here is the code I'm using: <head> <script> var falshObj = null; function pageInit() { thisMovie(); [Code] .....
can I somehow create logical groups of objects without actually combining them into symbols which would appear in the libraryI was thinking of this approach
ActionScript Code: var vertFloatGroup:Object = new Object(); // the logical object vertFloatGroup.addChild(splashPhoto); // splashPhoto is an existing instance on stage vertFloatGroup.addChild(nav); // same for nav
interact with the group as a whole this above tells me that addChild is not a function...
I am writting an image gallery that loads one intial xml file named galleries.xml.From this point each xml node loads a XMl file for that gallery that holds all the images.The problem arises in the fact that to do this I need a onload function within an onload function.Onload functions dont accept parameters so I can pass down the variable that shows what loop the gallery loop is on as I need that in the function that holds the images.
I've made a mailform and having probs with te textfields.Somehow when I use the tab it selects the left textfields from top till bottom, then the textfields that are layed out to the right. How can I amke sure the tab makes the logical order when someone whants to fill the form.
I already used setfocus to the first textfields so the cursor starts with the first to fill in textfield.
How tab form let's say tekstfield name to adres to email(variables).
When the feed truly fails, then onXmlLoad never runs (or it breaks; not sure which; either way I don't have an issue). However, when the feed doesn't fail, both catchHttpError AND onXmlLoad run which creates a problem. I want to set this up so that its either one OR the other.
As I was looking into the properties of HTTPStatusEvent.HTTP_STATUS, I noticed that I can check status, but the problem is that status can either be 200 or 0 and this is not exclusive.
I have completely hit a wall. Here's what I'm after. I have two sets of radio buttons, each of which controls what loaded swf appears on stage. Then, depending on which button is clicked in group one and which button is clicked in group two, a third swf appears. I can access the value of each radio button, and I'm passing it into a variable (I think - the trace command works) but when I drop it all together into an if/else statement, no data is passed.
Here's the code: //printArea is a movie clip on stage, which has dynamic mc's attached via code var thisFront; //function for what happens when fronts radio buttons clicked frontListener = new Object(); frontListener.click = function(evt) { [Code] .....
I'm trying to create an XML driven menu for my portfolio site. I'm basing the code concept off Senocular's tutorial on this site, but I'm basing the aesthetic/operational idea off portfolio menus such as those seen on [URL] and basically every other portfolio site that uses small thumbnails as icons to present larger versions of the work.
Functionally, I think I've got it down (it's basically the tutorial code with the submenu functions stripped out), but I'm struggling with trying to figure out how to display my attachMovie'd items in a logical row/column fashion... i.e. if I had 7 items in my XML file and wanted the row to exist in threes, I'd have two rows of three and one row of one.
I'm sure there's a very simple solution to this that I'm simply overlooking. I was just thinking about trying to implement this via some type of counter/multiplier for the _y property.
I am building a portfolio website in which I have a main page and there are links (movieclips) on this main page. When these movieclips are clicked, I use "loadMovie" to load the respective subpages in .swf. I have an "onLoad" function in the subpages but the script within the "onLoad" function never got processed. (The "onLoad" function is used to resize images depending on browser size) However, I have other "onMouseMove", "onResize" functions, and they work fine. In fact, the "onResize" function has basically the same code within as the "onLoad" function, and they got processed just fine.
There are of course 10000 tutos with xml gallery featuring a < previous and a > next image button.I succedeed to create a quite nice photo gallery with thumbs by myself with tuts here and there, but I can not figure out the real logic( not a math minded ;-() to create the functions of the buttons that allows to go to the previous and next photo.
I am loading an XML file and when I run a trace inside the onLoad event the results show.When I put the same trace outside that event, the trace returns undefined because it runs before the XML is Loaded.I don't know how to assign the results of the XML to a variable being used outside the XML unless I call that through another event.For example. I want to preload some images if the user has been to the movie before. I call XML which has the image array. But I can't tap into that array because my function is outside the XML Load event and my function is not tied to an event.
_parent.unit['bullet'+openbullet].onLoad = bulletload; function bulletload() { this.range = 5;[code]...
my mc.enterfame works but this doesn't. I think it's because it's on load and for this to be implemented it has to be called after load so how do i use it? I tried to call it on the original but it didn't work.
It seems that the onLoad method fires twice ?? I know the .load method has to come after the .onLoad function for the function to work but that doesn�t seem to be the problem in this case.
How do I send a variable from the url [URL] to an embedded swf in that php?In other words, how do I get the embedded swf to load the variable from the URL. It needs to pass it, which I'm trying to accomplish via Javascript.
Is there a way that I can run a function when it first loads, as if it wasn't inside of the function, but still be able to call that block of code as a function later on? For example if I did...
Code: someFunction(); function someFunction():void{ //do this }
It wouldn't work correctly.. I need it to do what is inside the function as if it wasn't in the function, which it loads, but also be able to call it again later on.
I am loading one xml file and onload (or onData) of this file I am calling another function but, this function is not getting called. What can be the issue? Can delegates be used here and how?
Here is the code for reference
Code: //path for _global.bookXML is defined already. _global.book_xml = new XML(); _global.book_xml.ignoreWhite = true;
I managed to load data from xml file (at last) and now I faced another problem. I can give value to a variable, but cannot use outside of onLoad function. Lemme show you what I mean:
The first trace(variable) command (inside the onLoad function) returns the correct value, but the second (out of onLoad) returns undefined. I need the values elsewhere, not in onLoad.
When I run the section.swf on its own, the onload function works, and the "doing stuff" code runs. But when I load it into main, this onload (within the section.swf, above) does not run.
load XML data (it parses automatically), parse through the XML tree and assign the values to an array of my choosing for access later in the movie. I can load the XML data, but the only time I can access the XML functions, i.e. XML.firstChild, or XML.getChildNodes(), is when I am within an XML. onLoad function.[code]Shouldn't I be able to call these XML function and properties from anywhere? not just within the XML.onLoad function? I look at other people's scripts and they do it, but I can't?I created a function that parses through the data and puts it into an array. And that works well if I say XMLdata.onLoad = my_array_funtion();But the problem is, if I do it that way I can't get the array out of the function. I can't return the value because the function is being called from an onLoad event and the return value of the function isn't assigned to a variable. So the array I create is worthless.And there is no way to call the function, and have the XML.functions, i.e. XML.firstChild, to work outside of an XML.onLoad event. Is there? Please tell me there is a way.I tried assigning the array to a global variable, but evidently you can't modify _globals within a function.Ultimately, I need this array because later in the script I use the data on the fly, and I want instant access to it.

I've been searching this problem for a while and have tried a number of solutions found on google but nothing has worked so far. I'm sure this is a common problem, but due to my lack of flash knowledge I can't logically work through it as I'm used to windows form development, it makes sense to me that the function could access the variables I have defined but they dissapear after the .onLoad event. Does anyone know the common solution to this problem? I want to be able to pass the xml details into the local variables so I can pass on the details into a dynamic text field when movies are hovered over etc.
