ActionScript 2.0 :: Unload XML Data From Object?
Dec 22, 2007
Finally remembered my password for this wonderful forum to bother you with yet another (stupid) question...my 2nd already, lets hope it works...AS2 XMLObject1 loads 15 pics.XMLDriven menu button (XMLObject2) triggers loading of new XML (10 pics) in XMLObject1.Works fine but last 5 pics stay in XML Object. In other words: I need to unload all the previous XML data on an onRelease event. Tried new XMLObject, delete (Old) XMLObject (Did not work...). There is no unload XML Method so what to use?

I've been expanding my xml knowledge, and run into a sticky wicket (figure of speech, not Ewok). This is what I'm trying to achieve:Three main buttons on stage. Click on a button, and this loads xml data from an external xml file into a new XML object. The xml data dynamically generates additional buttons which call up additional data. Then, click on a "close" button, and that removes this first batch of xml data. Then click on another main button, and this loads different xml data from a different xml file.
I can parse the xml data with no problems. The issue is unloading the xml data from the first button before loading in different xml data. Currently, the movie simply appends the data to what's already been loaded.I've tried unloadMovie, removeMovieClip, and delete this(xmlObj). Nothing seems to work. Searches have proved fruitless - there are plenty of tutes telling you how to get data in, but none on taking it out.

I am working on a prototype of a system that will take stills from an attached video camera, store them in an array, then pull them back from the array and animate them.
Thus far I've been able to create new bitmaps, put them in an array, and draw them to the stage.
I have the video source coming to the stage and I have been able to take stills.
The combined system, however, goes through the array, draws the bitmaps to the stage but they are not the sequence of stills. Instead, it is a set of bitmap objects that change every time I click the mouse to take a new still. My guess is that whatever I am doing wrong has caused the bitmapdata to remain dynamically linked to the video source or to be changed every time a new still has been taken.[code]...

I want the current swf to unload and the new one to load only after a transition occurs. Is there a more efficient way to do this than if. switch()?

I'm creating a small app to run from CD-Rom/local installation that will use multiple shared objects for data storage. To ensure proper saving without surprising the user with a permissions dialog unexpectedly, I'd like to request unlimited data storage on first time app launch - Joey Lott shows how to do this in the Actionscript Cookbook... request=mySO.flush(1024 * 500);
My question is,Can I perform this permissions request with the user a single time with a generic app SO in global fashion, so that the permissions would be set for any SOs created during the use of the product (all written to same SO directory),or do I have to request
permissions for each and every SO created? Since the latter would be unacceptable from a UE standpoint, that means stuffing all app data into a single SO which doesn't seem so great from a data config perspective...

I am working on a school project that requires me to load external .swf or .jpg files. I currently have all of the buttons working and are loading an external .swf file on to the screen. The problem I am having is that when I go from one button to the next the loaded .swf stays on the screen and the next .swf gets loaded on top of it. I know that I need to unload the file but I am not sure where to put the code for the unload or what code exactly to use. I would like when the button is pressed to unload the previous loaded .swf and load the new .swf without having a separate button to unload.

I'm using a loader for people to use to upload their own images for a background, and I want it to remember the image the next time they come to the page, so is there any way to save the loader data in a shared object? I haven't tried just using something like
Code:
sharedObject.data.dataName=loader
because I assume it doesn't work that way.

The Context of the Problem.I'm working on a rotator banner in flash. I use an external xml file to pass the banners info (like info-text, link, image-path, priority, etc). Everything is going well so far. I'm loading the xml something like this:
var bannersXML:XML = new XML();
bannersXML.ignoreWhite = true;
bannersXML.load("myBanners.xml");
The Problem itself.Now I need to construct this xml on-the-fly in php and somehow pass it to my flash object. So instead of read the external file I want my flash script receive an xml parameter it can work with.

I have an AS file that declares and sets data for a bunch of objects. Specifically, they are locations for a business, as well as phone numbers, addresses, etc, associated with each location. Ultimately, they will appear as pins on a map, and clicking a pin will reveal information like phone number, etc.I need to come up with a way for a separate SWF file to draw in the data from the AS file so it can be implemented on the map. The trouble is that the AS file will be frequently updated, and it will not always contain the same number of objects. me, the swf needs to reference the AS file, and generate a pin on the map for each object within the AS file.I've already set up my SWF to "#include" the AS file, and I can successfully use the data within using dot notation, but I don't know how to set it up to automatically go through the AS file and process each object, especially since the total number of objects is subject to change

I am experiencing problems when trying to traverse XMl returned from the youtube data api.I can trace the XML but cannot access any of the nodes, not sure where I'm going wrong, I have tried various methods including parsing JSON format from youtube but to no avail. I thought it maybe the namespaces so I replaced these using a script to replace them as attributes. A snippet of returned XML is below:

I have a flash video loading in a modal window. It works in others browsers but not Firefox. Firefox opens the modal window to the correct width of the object, but with no height. I have come to learn that Firefox does not recognize <param> and instead uses the data attribute. However, when I remove this attribute, the modal opens with correct height. Here is the code the modal window loads:
<object width="720" height="520" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="proxymovie.SWF?file=proxymovie.MP4">
<param name="movie" value="proxymovie.SWF?file=proxymovie.MP4" />
<img src="images/poster.png" width="720" height="480" alt="" title="Download the video below" />

I remember darkly that the XML class in AS3 would throw an exception if you tried to give it data in it's constructor that was not a valid XML string. But now I got a case where the XML happily takes every kind of data no matter it's valid XML or not...
var xml:XML;
try
{[code]...
... doesn't throw any exception. qname seems not to be null. WTH?

When working with XML I find it best to bring in the XML document and then add the data to new objects so they can be easily referenced later. Previously I have done this by hard-coding the node names when I parse the XML and add the appropriate data to a property in my new custom object, allowing me to state what type of data it is, array, string, etc. I would really like a way to do this dynamically, so when I parse the XML it detects whether the node has children and makes an array, etc. Something was done by XML2Object in AS2.

I'm in the early stages of writing a rather complex app that grabs data from a database (via PHP bridge) and builds out content from it.This app is going to be a very visual timeline of sorts, with different entries of many types (images, audio, video, text, etc). Each entry type has some common properties (ID, location, date, etc), and some unique (imageURL for images, audioURL for audio, etc).When creating these objects dynamically, should I:
A) First read the data from the database, assign that data to a new object that contains *just* the data, and then pass that data object to the constructor of the visual representation of that object when instantiating the specific object of that type? Or,
B) Skip the creation of a data object, and instead pass the data property by property to the specific object class.
For instance (very roughly),
A)Code:
// receive queries data here
var newImageData:ImageData = new ImageData(imageURL, headlineText, captionText); // put data into data object
var newImageEntry:ImageEntry = newImageEntry(newImageData); // create new visual object, passing data object
B)Code:
// received queried data here
var newImageEntry:ImageEntry = new ImageEntry(imageURL, headlineText, captionText); // create new visual object directly
I won't be creating the visual representation of the object immediately, so I feel like I have no choice but to map the data to a data object first....but is there another way? Should I try to merge the two, so that an ImageEntry object can be created as the data is received, but then a separate call to that object would be required to actually create the visual representation of it when needed?In the past -- which apps quite a bit simpler -- I've simply mapped all the data during the XML parsing to dynamic objects that act only as containers for the data, which is then passed to a different object to create the visual representation of it...

A combobox (created with the returned data) is created on frame 61. When a selection is chosen in the combobox I need to add the value returned from the combobox to the variable catvar, add this variable to the LoadVars object and run the script again. It seems to set c.catvar initially but when I use the 'sendAndLoad command the second time c.catvar isn't included. Is it possible to add variables to a LoadVars object created
on frame 1 from frame 61?
