First off I load 2 variables from a database: selectedTerritory and tintValue.I want to load the tintValue (number: 0000FF, 00FF00 etc) and apply that tint to the selectedTerritory (number: 1, 2, 3 etc).What I've got is:
Code:
function displayTerritoryOwner(selectedTerritory) {
var a:Number = selectedTerritory;
[code]....and apply the tint?
I just discovered impure.com and was very impressed by what can be achieved in terms of visualizing data using their workspace. Although the platform is free to use, but not open source yet. This causes a few problems because the API section works with .com sites for eg. for ebay, so I cannot visualize ebay listings for regional sites such as ebay.in because the link to ebay.com is hardcoded.I searched around, but didn't find other projects that offer a similar way to work with site APIs and other data sources with the kind of user interface and detail that impure.com does in a realtime way within a browser window.This brings me to the questions:
-What technologies would be involved in creating a similar kind of project
-What are the open source tools that can help develop a fullscreen UI to render the workspace. Are there any alternatives to flash for this, and how do they compare
The goal would be to use standard python data structures, python scripts to do some processing on these data structures, scripts to gather data from csv, json and API sources such as google yahoo, wikipedia and flickr, and scripts to render graphs, tag clouds, network visualizations etc. Then bring them all together into a visual interface that supports drag drop and simple type checking.How would the python backend integrate with the UI.
I have been goggling a lot to find anything with link-based data visualization in Flex 4. something like below screen shoot (made using Ravis). Where user can drag these nodes, without removing the links and on double click of any node we can set some properties for that particular node. I found this Ravis (Birdeye), but not much of examples and support is available for that.
View 1 RepliesI would like to tint a movieclip with the tweener class. This is how I tint the mc without the tween:
var c:Color=new Color();
c.setTint(0xff0000, 0.8);
clouds.transform.colorTransform=c;
it works but I would like to give it a smooth transition that's why I would use tweener.
Given any existing RGB color, what is the best approach to combine that color with another, giving the appearance that the first color has been "tinted" by the second? For instance say I had a datagrid cell with a background color of 0xEEAAFF: I now want to make it appear to have a 10% Green overlay applied to that color, in comparision to the other cells around it.For efficiency, I want to do this mathematically, not use some hack like making a semi-tranparent overlay sprite, or simply setting the color manually.
BTW I tried just adding an arbitrary value to the color (5000) which kinda worked, but some colors became shocking pink rather than a pleasant green tinting when their color bytes overloaded and flowed into the next byte. I know the solution is somewhere along these lines but my knowledge of hex math and how RGB values are calculated are pretty basic =)... is this what HSB format is for???
I've done a lot of research and I can't find exactly what I need. I need a way to dim out a MovieClip. First I tried adding a simple Bitmap with some alpha transparency, but because the MovieClip isn't perfectly square that doesn't work right. I then tried the colorTransform class, but that removes all the detail from the object,

loadmovie("")

I have a question concerning TweenLite for AS3. I have a button that when I rollover it, I want the other two buttons to "Tween" by tinting in color and move down a bit. Then when I roll off it, I want the buttons to go back there original state or something.

I'm building a project for a gaming website and i have an interesting dilemma. How do i make the font color change based on the data loaded from the external .txt file.
Example:
In text files i could have... yes yes yes no no maybe yes no. If the text says yes i would like for the font to change to green, if no to red, or maybe to orange/yellowish.
So basically if i went in and changed the No to a Yes on a .txt file, the next time i viewed that flash section the yes text would be in green instead of the default set by the flash core itself.
I hope i am making sense. I don't even know how to go about starting and i stared at the actionscript list for awhile to no avail.
Is it possible for recent versions of flash to directly (or thru Php) access (& update) data from a mysql database and display results based on the data?
So if my database were like this (math scores):User 13Jerry | 20Kane | 7 the flash output would be a bar graph like this (those hyphens would be bars in flash)
Is this possible these days? Google analytics does something like similar to this.
I last used flash somewhere in 2003/4. Never after that :-) I've completely lost touch.
Based on user input height, weight, measurements and other data, dynamically generate a person (can produce 3D graphics)?

View 1 RepliesI'm looking for a way to take SVG path info (basically a string of coordinates) and dynamically draw it with Actionscript. Icing on the cake would be if those shapes could detect mouse events to trigger JS and dynamically change their appearance (fill, stroke, etc...).
I'm currently trying something similar to this ([URL]) using SVG but it's just too slow in IE. I've also tried Google's SVG Web ([URL]) which basically does exactly what I'm looking for (it converts SVG to Flash in IE) but again, it's sloooooow - which is why I'm considering doing the whole shebang in Flash.

View 1 RepliesImagine I want a user to be able to copy-paste a selection of pixels from MSPaint into a browser-based app. Is this possible using JavaScript in any current browsers? Will it become possible in HTML5?If not, is it feasible using something like Flex/Silverlight, or is it simply not possible at this time, and you'd have to save a file and manually upload it?
update: sounds like HTML5 should allow it, but that's a way in the future to be genuinely useful. Some suggestions of Java applets and Flash are mentioned, probably Flash would be preferable since parts of the web-client would probably use Flex anyway... I'd rather not have requirement for Java and Flash in my site.
How can I color the ColumnSeries differently based on data. I need something like a labelFunction only for the column fill.
EDIT: Attached image for JAX to understand. :)
I've search all over today trying to find how to do this, and not being familiar with actionscript is starting to catch up to me. What I would like to accomplish is: I have a list of messages in a Datagrid coming from a dataprovider in another class, which in turn gets them from our Oracle DB. I need to all the user to set a visible state on the message, and then filter that out of the datagrid with the click of a button. I have the check box for hide, and it sets that value into the database. I can't figure out how to get the filterFunction to work with an array collection when the filter parameter is within the row data.Here is the code
public function filterResults():void {
modelLocator.notification.messageList.filterFunction = filterRows;
modelLocator.notification.messageList.refresh();

I would like to create three different views of the List: One showing All uploads in the queue Another showing only the Upload items with Upload.type == "Update" and another showing only the items with Upload.type == "Create". Another example of this would be on an email inbox, where we could filter "All, unread, or read". I realise I could just create three different lists, one for each view of the list (maybe I'm just being picky) but I was wondering: Is there is any easy way to conditionally select the items to display from a DataProvider based on a parameter (for example type =="Upload") so I don't have to juggle three separate ArrayCollections about?
