View 1 RepliesThe game is written in Flash, and I plan to develop the server in node.js because (a) it would be a cool project for learning node.js, and (b) it's fast, which is important for games.The server's architecture is based on messages sent between the server and client (sort of like Minecraft's server protocol). The message format I have so far is a byte (the packet type), two bytes (the message length) and that many bytes (the message data, which is a mapping of key-value pairs). Problem is, I really don't want to develop my own serialization format (because while I probably could, implementing it would be a pain compared to using an existing solution).Unfortunately, I am having problems finding a good candidate for the message data serialization format.
ActionScript's own remoting format might work, but I don't like it much.SON has support in node.js (obviously) and in ActionScript, but it's also textual and I would prefer binary for enhanced speed.MessagePack looked like a good candidate, but I can't find an ActionScript implementation. (There's one called as3-msgpack on Google Code, but I get weird errors and can't access it.)BSON has an ActionScript implementation, but no node.js support besides their MongoDB library (and I'm planning on using Redis).
My main problem with this code is I want to put the url of the image and thumbnail xml tag in the nod, instead of it being an attribute. Now I can do this easily in XML, but reading this in .as is another issue. I have attached the code below so you can see what I am doing.The files are also attached for you to see the actual code..

UPDATE: The problem was not to do with namespaces or flex at all. My webservice was returning the wrapped xml. I was blaming the language I had least experience with before questioning the java...I have a basic soap webservice that I am having trouble reading the result from in flex.I'm a solid java programmer and just trying to get my head around adobe flex.In the documentation I should be able to use "WebService" to return the result in e4x format.

Unfortunately, the event object seems to nested and encoded strangely. When I step trough with the debugger I see that responseXml is of type XMLList containing one element (at index 0) of type XML which just contains the following xml:
<sch:temp xmlns:sch="http://www.mycompany.co.uk/myproject/schemas" xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<ns2:publisherResponse xmlns:ns2="http://www.mycompany.co.uk/myproject/schemas">
<getConfigurationResponse>
<configuration>
...etc
Why is my xml nested inside a document with a root node "sch:temp"?

View 1 RepliesI need some very urgent help for a project that is on a tight deadline. I have a CDATA node that i'm loading into Flash that has some html in it. Let's just say this is it:
You are <font color='#FFFFFF'>very pretty</font>.<br><br>
When I trace out the xml after it is loaded into flash, it comes out as this:
You are <font color='#FFFFFF'>very pretty</font>.<br><br>
I need it to come through with the tags in tact. How do I go about this?
Is it possible to read/write data to and from Access with Flash in a offline format? I need to create a stand alone system that users can log into and pull information from - but it will not be networked or have any sort of internet connection.
View 2 RepliesI'm trying in vain to store and retrieve HTML formatted text in a XML node.I know it has to be held in CDATA brackets, otherwise the XML is invalid, but... this means that Flash doesn't parse the data as HTML, rather it just displays it as the raw text.
View 4 RepliesIt's been a about seven years since I have done any work with Flash but now my employer is asking me to create a custom online magazine tool (we're publishers). I've been immersed in PHP and AJAX and building Mac apps with XCode so I've got a bit of a relearning curve to go through.
Anyway, I'm pulling in some XML into a Flash file and want to display some of the various node values in a dynamic text box. That was easy enough, AS3 makes it a charm compared to the dark old days. The problem I am running into is displaying the values - its kind of a runsheet for a magazine - num of pages, ads, features, etc. etc. and I want to display that in one text box in a list type format. So I have something like this:

You can easily export Flash keyboard shortcuts in a HTML format but how on Earth do you import them? There simply is no visible way to do it in the keyboard shortcut panel? How do I go about doing this? (I'm using CS5.5)
View 0 RepliesI am working on some text animations using ActionScript (3.0).The type of animations that I want require tweening each character of the text. Therefore, the way I want to do this is to break apart the text string, create a text field for each character, put it into a sprite, position the sprite so that the characters form a linear text and then tween the individual character sprites.But the problem is if I have an HTML string of text. If I try to break apart the string, then the HTML tags will break and they will be animated as if part of the text? Is there another way of achieving this type of character by character animation? Is there a way in which the HTML formatted text can be kept ?

View 3 RepliesI have audio placed into a controller on a page, however when i load different browsers the sound files are either no even seen by the browser or they dont work. Ive converted the files to wav. which apparently works universally for IE,Opera, Firefox and Chrome, however changing the file format does not change this situation. I know it has something to do with HTML audio tag or something but I am still unsure

A few days ago I manage to modify a code I get from a post here. The file was from tommywizbang[URL]It works fine, but at the end I have the idea of use HTML format to load images on the text block. The idea works fine with static text, but in this code is not working and I'm not sure if it is because of the original AS2...

Now I need to render this video into my Flex Web Application. One way to do it, as I see, is somehow extract the 'data' attribute and put it as a 'source' for spark VideoPlayer. Is there any better way to do this? Also note that, I require to render all video formats (avi, mov, wmv etc.) and not just flv or f4v.
How i can read parms from html tag ?with out swfobject and java script maybe?
View 1 RepliesI think this is almost impossible, or at least very difficult. The thing is: I wanted to make a guestbook on my site (inside flash) but my server doesn't allow me to use php. So the only other way (I think) is to use a remote script-host. So that's what I did, I found one on scripthost.com. It's a very simple one,it just changes a html-file everytime a new entry is entered. What I want to do now is to extract all the things that are in the html-file and put them in textboxes. Is this possible? I searched a little bit and I found that I could use the server side include tags to read a html-file to another html-file (inside a div) and then use javascript to read the div and send it to a textbox in flash.

However, I need to write "iFrame.html" as the URL. I know that the container webpage's name is "iFrame.html."
