ActionScript 2.0 :: Pulling Back Random Xml Records?
Feb 5, 2009
I load in 8 XML records at random - the actual xml file contains about 37 + but the method i am using at the moment doesnt semm to be that random. It was done this way so i dont pull in the same record twice as i do not want duplicate entries
Code:
for (a = 0; a < randNo; a++)
{
var num:Number = xmlAd.firstChild.childNodes.length;
So I have a movie with 20 frames...on each frame...there is a question...so I want the user to access that pool of questions...when it pops up...it will randomly choose a Frame to go to...Now...how do I go about...when that Frame is chosen...take it out of the pool of the random questions...so it doesn't land on that frame again...I'm thinking with variables maybe...but I actually don't know how to even begin to write the code for that.
I'm looking to send a list of variables (say 6 in total) from php to flash and for flash to pick a random one and send it back to php when clicking a button.
I would like it to appear in a dynamic text box. That randomly selected variable needs to be sent back to php on pressing a button.

I'm trying to list in flash, several records that come from my database. I'm not talking about a datagrid or anything to fancy. I just want to list the values inside text boxes. (to allow editing). I already have fetch an array of records that come from the database, here:
[Code]...
My question is: How can I display several records, instead of only 1? Should I change the call to, instead of 1, uses a variable? But where would that variable comme from? Then I should loop again the addChild method for each child of form2 that needs to have different records on each of them?
I am writing a Flash object which will be an on-line quiz. I got most of it working ok, but it reads the questions sequentially from an xml file. I want it to be random. Each record in the xml file has an 'ID' attribute. This is my code that currently reads the questions in sequential order:
var question = new XML();question.ignoreWhite=true;question.load("Questions.xml"); question.onLoad=function(){ question_txt=this.firstChild.childNodes[_root.record].attributes.ques tion; answer1_txt=this.firstChild.childNodes[_root.record].attributes.answe r1;
[Code]...
There are 300 questions in the xml file. I want to assign a variable with a random number, then look in the xml file for the question which has the ID attribute matching the random number. How do I achieve this?
I have a created a flash searchable database with xml,following this tutorial url...It seem to be work great but my the xml file seems to be too large so when certain words are search I get a script error and eventually freezing up, my question is Is there a way to tell flash to load the 10 or 20 records at a time? By loading sections of the xml one at a time will this stop the script error?
I am trying to create some charts in Flex/FlashBuilder 4.5The issue I have it that the information I wish to display is the number of events within an area. I am using HTTP service to access a rails controller which is returning an XML list of the events.I need to figure out how to chart the number of events, eg number of records returned. There is no numeric value within chart, as there would be if I was charting sales or prices for example.
I have a Wowza Media Server 2 running on Amazon EC2 and I've noticed from time to time a flv is recorded from a webcam using Flash that has audio but no video. It works fine most of the time but from time to time this error occurs
I have the following on my php service file : Code: Select all function updateRecords($id,$name,$age){ $query = mysql_query("UPDATE data SET name= '$name', age= '$age' WHERE id = '$id'");
I am getting problem in flash,php,mysql integration .The php page is fetching the data from database .But when i include this php page into flash document ,the data are not showing.
This is the sites.as file. function lv(l, n, t, e, f) { if (l == undefined) {
I have results from my mysql coming to flash mx and I am trying to format it in rows like: VENUENAME ADDRESS PHONENUMBER And I want about 10 records to show in flash at a time....
Here is the actionscript and the PHP code: // Create another LoadVars instance to receive the server's reply replyData = new LoadVars(); // Specify a function to call when this new instance receives the reply. replyData.onLoad = handleReply; // Submit the order data [Code] .....
I've been searching all over for an answer to this, but have not had much luck. I have an .xml file that loads its data into a DataGrid. However, I don't want all the data to load up at once. I would like it to load the first five records, and after x amount of seconds fade out and fade in with the next five records.
Which gives me this result in a browser Actionscript Code: 21Arnetest 1.2 3hallo, dit is een eerste test berichtje grtzzzzzzzzz2010-04-14 14:03:0022Arne Janssenshallo!test nog een keer2010-04-14 14:03:00
Now is my question: How can I write this code better, so that flash can handle it? Do I make an array of the results?
In the AdvancedDataGrid shown bellow I have one groupingField as one can see. I would like to have the ability to click in a record (letīs say the 26/01/2011 - Pag.) and right bellow it to have some action buttons.
How can I do it? Would it be by using a AdvancedDataGridRendererProvider? Iīve tried to do it but didnīt get the expected result.
I'm using Flex 4.5 with PHP Zend webservice framework. Basically, I have 2 DataGrids that can drag and drop between each other. At the initializing of the component, I call a webservice to populate the top DataGrid. Then the user can drag rows to the bottom DataGrid that get processed and saved later on. My problem is that I want to have a reset button (or cancel button), that will take the user to a new component in the ViewStack, and if they return to the component with the DataGrids, the top DataGrid has the original records and the bottom DataGrid is empty.
I just can't figure out a good way to repopulate the top DataGrid. I can clear it, but it doesn't seem to refresh with the original data. I've tried unsuccessfully to call the webservice again and set the dataprovider to the new lastResult token. I've also tried unsuccessfully to copy the results of the initial webservice call to an ArrayCollection and simply set a Bindable variable to that ArrayCollection (or a backup of that ArrayCollection holding original records).
I know how to use AS3 to record sound from the user and enable them to save it to their computer. However, I would really like instead to allow them to either send it to an email address right after recording (without them having to save it to their computer first and find the file), OR to let them save it so that the site owner can access it (They would know that it was happening.).
Im creating a scoreboard within flash, ive got mysql data converted to xml and grabbed into flash, im trying to output the data: user, score, time into dynamic textboxs but can only get one record.If there is a better way, such as creating the textfields on output could someone point me in the right direction!
function outputXML() { for (var i=0; i<xmldata.item.length(); i++)
i have results from my mysql coming to flash mx and im trying to format it in rows like:[code]and i want about 10 records to show in flash at a time.[code]
I completed a similar xml searchable database based on this tutorial: http:[url]....I have a rather large xml that when you do a search flash times out and the user gets a scrip error,What I want to know is how would you go about only displaying/returning only 10 records at a time?
I've got records being populated into our database from paypal's Instant payment notification methods...great. now i turn to our flash cs3 app to populate a component datagrid with the stored database data and to my surprise I'm unable to identify any examples on how this might even be done.
How do you connect to an mssql database from within flash cs3 to retrieve data for displaying within a flash datagrid?
I can write a cfc from coldfusion to return a dataset, but overall i'm not sure if i 'have' to learn Flex, or AIR or what to get the records 'read'.
My ActionScript 3.0 bible is vague at best and resorts to php. (which i dont know)
Case1: When a client makes a remoteObject request ie to save some Info... A call is made to Java SAVE_INFO method. If request failed ie came back to FaultHandler ( we save the info in an arrayCollection).Later we call SAVE_INFO again for each item in arrayCollection ie( if arrayCollection has 10 items.. We call 10 times the same method.. I know that's kind of stupid but we have no control over java to write a overloading method). Some times we see there are multiple records of same info in DB. I am not sure if this happens when looping over arraycollection and making calls or during normal one time call. We could not find a pattern to reproduce. Java LOG level is at Error level in production. can't set to INFO in production to monitor all calls. We dont know if this multiple times saved record is, the one in arrayCollection or normal one.
Flex3 RemoteObject --> WAS 6.1 , lCDS 3.0, Java1.5 --> Webservice -- > Java (hibernate) --> Oracle 10gCase2: When application is left open and user leaves for the day and submits info the following morning, we see duplicate records in DB of that info.(No arrayCollection here. Simple straight one call)Flex3 RemoteObject --> OC4J Blazeds Java1.5 (JDBC) --> Oracle 10g.Recently one of our Testers testing case 2 application found this pattern and I am starting to think that may be in the case 1 also.. users might be leaving for lunch/break and resubmitted the arrayCollection after coming back. During lunch java might have killed the sessions for the client and after resubmitting 10 at same time.
looking to create an option menu (at least that is what it is called in HTML).[code]looking to do this in flash though with AS3, PHP and MySQL. The data can be stored in XML. please let me know if anyone has done something like this before, or if they know of a good tutorial which details how.
I have a Flash website with 3 interfaces( 3 frames with movie clips inside). they have a button that goes to different loaded .html page(text). But once the back button is pushed on the web browser, it always goes back to the first frame instead of the actual last page, which might have been frame 2 or 3.
I have a project (see attached) where I need to have the folders seem like they are floating in space, and I need the best way to make it so when you click on a back folder, it slides off the screen and come back in front of all the folders.
Anyways I am using action script 3.0 and I created multiple layers using just one scene. I created a layer with lables on them to mark where I want my buttons to point to and go to. I have the stop (); on the first frame. And I made my buttons mostly interactive with movie symbols and tweens.My first scene I have 2 doors, the user can pick which door to go to and it takes them into a different path.I made the buttons that are clicked to go forward, and then I tried to make an invisible button on the button edge of the scene to go backwards However, the PROBLEM is when I click my button to go backwards I am stuck on the first page and can't move forward.
function gotoOne(evt:Event):void{ gotoAndStop("one")}backbutton1.addEventListener("click",gotoOne); function gotoFour(evt:Event):void{
