Is it possible to parse variables between different swf-files? Say that Ive got this main movie to which I load an external swf-file. Can I then send data from this externally loaded swf to the main movie?
View 1 RepliesI have a couple of questions that I hope someone can answer. I have this ActionScript that reads the XML file into the flash movie. The poblem is this: The XML is in this format:
<listitem name="TEST" url="rtmp://000.000.000.000/">
<stream len="-1" name="Test" start="0"/>
<group name="Testing"/>
</listitem>

I want to get id from this [URL] get this id in as3 and use this id in xml and show the message in text field.

This is my first day to try and use XML to display dynamic text in Flash. My skillset is weak with AS3 and Flash, but I found some tutorials online and I have managed to successfully display the first record in mytest.swf. However I also seem to have all records displaying in each dynamic text box as well. My loop isn't stopping after each record. It's reading everything. And dumping the results into each text field.
I need to only display each record individually. Once I accomplish that, I will need to include some form of navigation. Lets say buttons that perform a NEXT, PREVIOUS, LAST, FIRST type function. Then lastly, I'll need to include some type of search navigation option by item number. I assume that I'd have to have a second screen that links to my primary results screen with an input form for the item number.

I am accessing an xml document in actionscript, I know flash can see the xml as I am tracing it but when I add the .text() funtion to my trace to strip out the tags by trace doesn't see anything.
function LoadXML(e:Event):void {xmlData = new XML(e.target.data);ParseXML(xmlData);}function ParseXML(thexmlInput:XML):void {
trace("XML Output");trace("------------------------");trace(thexmlInput.wrapper.page);

I am attempting to parse some weather information from the Yahoo weather RSS feed.This is a typical XML node;
<description>Yahoo! Weather for Palm Springs, CA</description>
I used the typical XML parsing code in as2;
var text1 = this.firstChild.childNodes[0].childNodes[1].firstChild.nodeValue;
txt1.text = text1;
I was doing pretty good until I reached a node that was formatted thus;
<yweather:forecast day="Mon" date="28 Sep 2009" low="74" high="103" text="Sunny" code="32" />
This text traced a value of undefined.I have tried to research this and so far all I have been able to find out, is that this is a XML namespace and is very easily handled in as3. Unfortunately I have to use as2.How do I parse out this information into a dyamic text fields?

I have an xml file and im putting this xml file in an XML object
var receivedXML:XML
In some function, I have:
var xmlList:XMLList = new XMLList();
xmlList = receivedXML.some.attributes.here;
object.functionDoStuff = xmlList;
The function functionDoStuff takes xmlList as its argument:
function functionDoStuff(xmlList:XMLList) {}
When does receivedXML get parsed, is it when we assign it to xmlList, or is it when it gets used in the next instruction by the function functionDoStuff?
If I use the following XML it does not output anything. Please help me to find what is the issue.

i've been using the gotoandlearn.com mp3player when wanting to provide music in flash, the other day i decided to rewrite into a class. my textfield returns "undefined", which is frustrating because i know the nodes are being parsed into the loadXML(); method. the problem i'm having seems to be in the playSong() method, the sa Array hasn't retained the information that had been parsed into it when the loadXML(); method is initialized.below is the class i'm working with;ve been trying to figure it out for a couple of days now, this is a last resort.......
class actionscript.mp3Player extends MovieClip {
public var s:Sound;// Setup sound object

I'm trying to find a way to parse out some numbers from a potential string. Basically, I'm making a financial-based calculator, and the user could input something like
$45,509.30
and I'm trying to figure out how to extract everything but the period so I'm left with
45509.30

I have a 6mb XML file, resetting my script timout in CS4 doesn't help. (it does have some unnecesarry HTML in it I could probably do away with, but that would be the wrong direction I think)I can't even trace it.I am loading it into an :XML object and trying to work with it, but all to no avail.

The for each loop wont iterate for some reason, but the for loop will, then again, it always crashes me with:

I'm having a little problem storing something like this
"this is a new line"
into a string value from an xml file but then when i want to go apply it to a dynamic text box it loses the new line character and actually displays

instead of
"this is a new line"
Ran into some problems when a client asked me to use the xml that is created from an admin where the user can format the text as she or he wants it. With bold, italic, insert link and so on. Doing all that in a frame in the browser that is. As you would guess from a proper admin tool more or less.

I'm pulling some events out of a MySQL db, parsing to an XML file, and having flash pull that in. All works fine, but I'm encountering an XML tag, and I'm not 100% sure why. I searched but the keywords are so vague I didn't find anything of value.
[Code]....
So with one event, it works fine. With more than one, I get in the info.eventNameTxt textfield something like <name>Christmas Afterbash</name>. how to circumvent this? I haven't quite been able to wrap my head 100% around the E4X stuff.
In AS2 you could parse together movieclip names so that you could do things like this - Let's say you have a movieclip (clip1) inside a clip (clip2). You could do:
name1 ="clip" + 1;
name2 = "clip"+ 2;
and then when referencing the lower clip you could do: _root[name2][name1]._alpha = 50;
That doesn't seem to work in AS3, even if do something like
clip2[name1].alpha=.25;
I'm probably referencing the objects wrong, but can anybody shed any light on this? I'm having trouble parsing together paths and object names and it's driving me nuts.

I make a XML connector component parse a XML document.In a node, there is a "<br />" (return to line in HTML)
<book>
<page>
Here some text and a <br /> here ! the code s broken up here

My XML connector considere the <br /> as the beginning or the end of a node !...How to avoid this <br /> or other any HTML element when parsing some XML ?
what is the best method for loading external XML (with inherent HTML) content into Flash and into the TextArea component?i have an image loader and a TextArea together on the screen. a "story" is loaded which will present a series of images (in the image loading) associated with a corresponding text (in the TextArea). a "story" has multiple image/text sections that are navigatied through with FRWD/BACK buttons. any given section can also have multiple sub-sections or "frames".
[URL]
below is my proposed sample XML structure. i want Flash to recognize how many sections and frames within sections there are in each story XML document - in order to generate a corresponding navigation structure (a tab for each section). HTML content will be immediate availble to loadinto TextArea as user move forward in sequence with nav. and images references can also be preloaded into available MC containers to be swapped into place as user navigates forward in sequence. also need to read and store attributes for each node in the XML to come up in MCs in sequence. and must also be able to parse XML in a way to place simple HTML formatted content (within XML) into the TextArea.would Arrays be used?
<story title = "Story Title">
<section num = "1" title = "Section One Title" >
<frame image = "1.jpg" caption = "caption text
here"><b>Content</b><br><br>content
