I created a file that pulls data from the worldofwarcraft.com serverstatus xml page.The data populates a dropdown list and you can choose the server and it tells you if its up or down. The mini app works great on my desktop, when I upload it to my server it no longer retrieves the data.
Is Bliz blocking my server address from recieving the data? Anyone know how to navigate around this. [URL]..If you want to test it grab the swf out of your cache and load it from your desktop, it will work.
I'm wondering if anyone has figured out how to pull data from a column in a SharePoint 2007 list to be able to dyamically generate a reaction in a flash object.Our designer created a dashboard of thermometers for our projects that use two variables, % complete and status (green, yellow, red, blue).
As the end user, I want to be able to update my project in my SharePoint list and have it so that my updates automatically populate that flash based dashboard.Right now, he's using an XML document that is stored in a folder on our SharePoint site and then simply updating the XML file when there are changes.It would be ideal to pull this data from the list rather than having to update and then upload the xml document to the SharePoint site.
I am trying to pull a text from within xml tags and place them in a text box when certain mc's are clicked. I am using the e.target to find the name of the mc clicked and grab info from tags with the same name as the target mc. The XML link is good as i can get data when doing tests with out using mentioned technique.
I am building a userinterface for some industrial instruments which output some data to a XML spreadsheet. This is the only way I can retreave these data's from the instruments.
Now, I need to make a flash that can pull out these data's from ex. "A1" and "A2" in this spreadsheet...
Here's a screenshot of the XML as it appears in EXCEL:
...and the XML as it appear if opened in Dreamweaver: Code: Select all<?xml version="1.0"?> <?mso-application progid="Excel.Sheet"?> <Workbook xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:spreadsheet"
Basically, I am having trouble pulling in more than one line of XML data. Here is the line of code I am trying to manipulate to give me more than one line. I have tried duplicating it and changing the values... but it just updates which line it is displaying instead of the first and second one...
and E4X to pull in an XML file. I am wishing to display some text as subscipt. E.G with G2, the 2 would be subscripted.if this can be done and if so how?
I loop through two arrays and im checking their data, i have collison working for them but I want to add more A.I. by making them stop when they are a certain distance from each other. so i need a way to pull EACH object that is in the arrays x,y, pos and use that data. my distance var keep bouncing all over the place...
THIS is my code: //check events between 2 objects function CheckEventsEnemyFighterFighter():void {
[Code]....
P.S. i need some tips for my coding... like should have i used a break in these for loops?
I am trying to create this slide show application that will show product information (Tennis Rackets) based on diffrent categories. A great programmer advised me that OOP would be a way to go, however i am having a difficulty with it.
I created: A document class called CustomClass --> this class downloads all XML data from the server and pushing the content of it into Arrays based on a category.These arrays are public, there is also a funciton iterateArray which places the children information somewhere.
I am a pretty big newb- my challenge is get a flash page to look to a database and check for updates constantly (in the realm of 1update/second) then pull new data as it is added.
Newbie to XML here and I have what I *hope* is an easy problem, but I just don't know the answer. And as I have to try and show this by Monday, I'm sort of stuck. I am trying to pull in information about houses via an xml file. Each house has 1 address, 1 owner, 1 description, and about 6 photos. I have no problem accessing the address, owner, etc, and I can always access the first photo, but whenever I cycle through the photos, I seem to cycle through the first photo for every house, not every photo for each house.
Basically, I need the children <images> to go up by one, without the the parent going up by 1. I am hoping I am describing this well. My code looks like this:

I have a list of items in a database as well as images in a directory folder. I am looking for a flash app that can pull from the database to display the info and also the images and scroll this info vertically with associated links. I need to change this for each client by adding their unique "ID" in the code so their information pulls in correctly.
I have an HTML page called "mypage.html" with a form on it. The form contains a text field called "FName" and when submitted, it loads "mypage2.html" with a Flash file embedded within it.Using actionscript is it possible to pull the passed value "FName" to an actionscript variable. Previous threads mentioned the GetURL parameter but CS4 kicks it back saying it is no longer supported.I'm also a bit confused on whether actionscript can pull variables directly from the browser URL. I found a reference to the variables being placed in the HTML code that embeds the SWF file:<param name="movie" value="mySWFmovie.swf?myvar=heyyou" />'Why would this be the location to configure the passed parameters and not directly from the browser URL?
Having real problems accessing data when I test my swf's online, i'm accessing data from the a bbc weather xml file online that's usually used for RSS feeds, on my computer flash can access the nodes and returns the data the way I want when I publish the files on my web server NaN or undefined appear in my text fields. Is there any security codes etc... I need to perform
I want to build a sort of pulled down projection screen thing using ActionScript.Basically the MC will come down with a picture on it.I have this starting code which doesn't work terribly well because it just moves the screen from top to bottom instantly.
Code: on (release) { do {_root.mcScreen._y+=1; } while (_root.mcScreen._y<200); }
Essentially I want the screen to smoothly scroll down into place over about half a second.
I would like to have a screen with multiple buttons and when the button is clicked different MC's will be imprted into the .fla file. For instance button 1 will import 1_MC, button 2, 2_MC, button 3, 3_MC etc. point me to a tutorial or give me a down and dirty example using AS3?
I am mostly a front end developer and my code guy at work is not Flash savvy. I have been working with Flash for years, but my coding is limited. Wondering if you might have a tutorial on the following, or some knowledge:
Need to play an FLV video or swf that has que points that grab someone's name from a database and puts that in a dynamic text field and at the end of video sends out a code back that tells the server that the video has been complete. My code guy knows PHP MySQL and Javascript if that will help.
I'm going to be creating a kind of fake RSS feed scrolling on the bottom of my webpage, and I want to be able to have it read data from a .txt file, so I don't constantly have to go into the flash file on a daily basis and make new swfs :P
asically I have a Player class with methods (i.e. Moving the player) that I want to listen for and implement in the main class. To put it simply, I'm creating the player methods in the player class and then calling them in the Main class. But for some reason I'm having some trouble, I'm still trying to get used to all this OOP design.Here is the (Main) code, it's not alot:
Is there a method to pull the value of the current swf file's name? For instance, if I have a movie called 1.swf open is there something I can do like myMovie.name and have the return value be 1.swf?
Problem: I have 24 flash movies. Each movie has different text that needs to be displayed, so what I did was created an HTML file with vars on it like &1=Hello &2=World. Now in my flash movies I load that HTML file, and have a dynamic text box that pulls in the values. This all works, but as it stands I have to change the var the text boxes pull in, and recompile, so instead I was wanting to set the variable to pull in based on the .swf file name, like 1.swf, pulls in the var &1 and 2.swf pulls in the var &2, this way I don't have to keep recompiling, I could just copy the movie 24 times and rename the movies accordingly.
im developing a game at the moment in flash that relies on flash remoting.I'm not great with flash remoting so ive managed to combine my flash game with a flash remoting tutorial. The tutorial pulls info off of my MySQL and works by putting it into a DataGrid. Im now just looking for a way to pull each piece of info out and into a variable. Heres some of the code:[code]I tried putting the info into and array but obviusly its returning an error due to the fact that r.result is a object.Im just looking for a way of pulling info out of the grid and into seperate variables.
Basically I pulll xml data into flash and most comes in, but only the first set will show the name, after that it goes to "undefined". Secondly, I can't pull in the info.
I have two scenes, one called "Script" and one called "Animation". On the Animation scene, I have one layer with thirty frames. Each frame is a progressive piece of animation, not converted to symbols or anything, just drawings.
Here's what I want to do. On the script scene, I have ActionScript pulling a random number from 1-30. For example, let's say it picks 17. I then want the drawing in Frame 17 of the Animation scene to appear in the current frame of the Script scene.
I'm beginning to understand this is more difficult than I first imagined, so here's an alternative. I could make a symbol from the drawing in each frame. Then call it Fish01, Fish02, Fish03... Fish30. Then when the random number is chosen, basically have that corresponding symbol appear. And when a new number is chosen, the symbol on the screen will disappear and be replaced by the new symbol.
I know how to create a scrolling pane that pulls in text. I test my methods by creating a text box with text, the convert to movie and make sure the Export to Actionscript is check and then on the Scrollingpane just make sure the target has the correct movie name. If I do this in a blank document everything works but in my Flash project it does not pull the text from the text box and I have no idea why. Has anyone experience this before. I just cannot find out why it works in a blank document and not in my flash project. I tried attaching my flash document but it does not fit.
I'm trying to pull an URL from a txt file, but apparently the URL itself contains several "&" signs which are used to separate variables, so now when I click on the link I'll only get the first segment of the link. Is there a way to go around it?
I am using Flash CS4. This needs to be done in flash because it is going to be used for a bannerDoes anyone know the code for dynamically pulling up the city and state?So if a user was viewing the banner from San Diego Ca... the dynamic box would say San Diego Ca
