I have an XMLConnector component instance that is communicating fine with the external XML file from which it is reading the data. The XML file is structured like so:
Now that you've got a general idea of what I'm working with, I'll move onto what I want to do with it. Let's say when the 1st frame (which has the XMLConnector on it) loads, we want to calculate the sum of all the values from the XML categories. It seems like an easy concept, but I can't figure out how to traverse through the array of objects without user intervention.
I need to dynamically insert (attachedMovie) a movie that has a ComboBox with in and then I need to bind this ComboBox to an existing _root.myXMLConnector.
I want to use the XMLConnector component to read and update XMLdocuments, binding it to a DataGrid.
As long as I only receive data there is no problem. As soon as I want to work with send/receive nothing works anymore. Unfortunately all tutorials I can find only show how to receive data.
I have two components. One is called "InsideComp" and one is called "OutsideComp". OutsideComp has InsideComp as one piece of its component, and in my main MXML file, I have embedded an instance of OutsideComp. How do I access a public variable of InsideComp within my main MXML file?In Actionscript, I could just do something like:OutsideComp.InsideComp.valToChange = 5; But I dont know how to do it in MXML. I know this is probably an easy question.
I would like to bind two components with out binding and which resides in different MXML.for eg: A.mxml has textinput and B.mxml has a combobox when choose one item in B.mxml selected item should be display in A.mxml textinput.
I have a Flash output file that uses both LoadVars and XMLConnectors. While LoadVars all work on all tested browsers, XMLConnector does something very strange and ONLY on Internet Explorer. When I try to use it, the listeners for the XMLConnector say send (using GET Method), status is correct (StatusChange), but the data that returns is crazy (outputs 11). I am suppose to get a full xml data stream, but all I get is 11. This happens in IE (PC) only. In Netscape on PC or Mac) it is fine, on Firefox (PC or Mac) is it fine, on Safari it is fine. SO, has anyone able to use the XMLConnector properly on IE (FP8)? The parameters for the problem are: Flash Player 8, Internet Explorer 6, PC.
I'm writing a game that use the XMLConnector object to bring local xml data into a DataSet object. My URL is, for example: data/quiz.xml. I have everything working well. But I'm localizing my game for Czech and Russian and when the game is installed to a path with Czech specific (high ascii) characters, the data import fails. This is strange because the relative path (data/quiz.xml) doesn't change. For example, my Czech install path contains the partial path: VyšetĹ™it BobĂÄŤka. If I just use normal English characters for this, I don't have a problem. The swf is an embedded sprite in a Director game, but I don't think this is relevant.
I looked into using fl.mapPlayerURL to format the path as UTF-8 but it doesn't look like this is the solution. Another thing I thought of would be embed the xml data inside Flash and copy it to a temp folder when needed. I'm using AS2.
Id like to have an XMLConnector read an xml-file (containing dates, and a "To Do" string for each date).A DateChooser should be on stage, enabling the user to select a date, and view the textstring for that specific date pop up in a DataGrid.Something very similar to this tutorial, in the section "Arrays and Indexing", replacing the ComboBox with a DateChooser:
http:[url].....I tried modifying the tutorial accordingly, but without success. I guess my skills aint good enough to accomplish this yet.
If I use an XMLConnector component to access variables inside a 5mb XML file, does this mean that flash will (implicitly) download that full XML file to the local computer and then parse it to get the requested variables???
I have developped a actionScript interface which connects a mySQL database to get data trough an XMLConncetor and fill a datagrid on the stage. When I test the swf locally with the SWFplayer it works perfectly. To make long story short, the xmlConnector connects the database and fill the datagrid. You can modify the data by clicking on buttons because they are bounded to xmlconnector and this one update the database and the refresh function opf the datagrid works.
The problem comes when I upload the swf on a web server and I try to connect the database. The first connection is okay but when I click on buttons, the request is sended to the database but the datagrid is not updated, even if I set an intervall or I code a function wich refresh the data...However, in IE, if you erase the cache and reload the page, modifications are there...
I am trying to run some code after the XMLConnector triggerfunction is completely done loading all of the xml data into theflash file and the bindings are updated. Is there an event or somekind of way to pause and run the code after all the radiobuttonsand checkboxes are updated with the xml boolean values?
I have two flash files myVideo1.swf and myVideo2.swf Each one contents FLVPLAYBack component . myVideo1.swf FLVPLAYBack component instance name is "video1" myVideo2.swf FLVPLAYBack component instance name is "video2" I want to be able to access myVideo2.swf from myVideo1.swf using as3. I want when I click play button on myVideo2.swf the myVideo1.swf would stopped. Bother flash files are in the same folder.
I have two mxml files. one is main that is application tag mxml file and another is my mxml component file. I have a viewstack in my main mxml whose id is, say, "mainViewStack". Now I want to set selectedChild property of "mainViewStack" from my mxml component file. [code]...

First, is this even possible? Inside a function, I want to change the min and max values that the slider component will use. Say for instance, the slider by default has the min set to 100 and the max to 200. Using the slider to scale a graphic, I want to increase the min/mal values.
Can this be done? I've been searching the web for things like ".min.value" and the sort, but can't seem to find anything.
I have a datagroup where I use a custom itemRenderer with a datagrid inside. What I want is to access each datagroup's itemRenderer's datagrid and get it's dataProviderAll I know is that you can access the ItemRenderer by using myDataGroup.getElementAt(index)
I have some generic functions like copy, paste,etc in an AS file. I want to use them for editing data present in different mxml applications embedded in one application. If I pass the child's component id as a parameter of a function in one of the events, I get the value as either null or the parent app name. But I want the id of the child's component to access the values.
I have a main application which has an int variable declared. I want to access this variable in another component which is present in another package. How can I do this?Main.mxml (default package)
I need to access topBox's grandchildren and determine whether they're buttons or not. This function belowgrabs topBox's immediate children which are the HBoxes. How do I go one level lower to topBox's grandchildren? Or is the only way to do this is to run this function on each HBox?
for (var i : int =0; i<topBox.numChildren; i++){ var child : DisplayObject = topBox.getChildAt(i); var myButton:UIComponent = child as UIComponent;
I have done this many times but can't remember the syntax for the life of me and am obviously asking Google the wrong questions.
[Code]...
I can't give the TitleWindow an id as it's the top level component. How do I access the TitleWindow component from inside the script tag, the 'this' keyword will give me type Object, which one of its properties will give me the title window?
How do I get "close" button to run runFunction() from within component to outside declaration? FxGlobals.topLevelApplication doesn't seem to be working for this.
This is the setup. I have created a timeline with a playhead. When my playhead is dragged I would like the timeline to scroll with the drag.
So far, the only way I can do this is by setting clipAndEnableScrolling to true. But in this case I lose the scrollbars(not to mention the impact on my view). So what I would like is to set this property to false and dynamically affect the horizontal scrollbar's position, in other words enable scrolling without the clipping.
How can I Access Items Selected in a Component from the Main App I've got a component that has a listControl and a couple of RadioButtonGroups. I need to access the selected items in the main application. What's the best/simplest way to create and access the array of selected items. So, the user clicks the button to confirm the selections and then I need to access those selections in the main app. Is there a way I can use a public var to build the array? Another idea?
I have a public variable set within fx:Script tags in a parent component that I'd like to access directly from a child component. How can I do this? I don't want to pass the variable to the child component (I know how to do this and am currently using this approach). Following is a simplified version of the mxml:
Note: SimpleComp is an HBox with a couple of lists. <mx:Accordion> <comp:SimpleComp/> </mx:Accordion>
