ActionScript 2.0 :: Using Data Input To Choose MC Load
Jan 7, 2009
I need to have a data field that the user will enter in a zip code, hit submit, and have a specific movie clip load, based on their entry. There aren't different movie clips for every single zip, but there will be 20 or so different clips that would load, based on whether or not that zip falls within a certain group. For instance, if someone enters in a zip for Washington DC, I would need to load a clip that shows that general area ... DC, VA and MD.

I'm using loadMovie() to load external swf's and then send the swf to a specific frame, depending on the button that is pressed.
Code:
on(release){
_root.mc_mainloader.loadMovie("Main.swf")
_root.mc_mainloader.gotoAndPlay("fadeup");
}
Unfortunately it ignores the second line, which appears to be because the movie hasn't loaded by time it gets to the next line. As a work-around I made an interval to check for the movieclip width to be more than 0 and then run a function that chooses the desired frame, but this is very unreliable. Is there a simple way to load the clip and wait until it is finished, then immediately choose a frame on load?

I managed to write some PHP which writes some XML including the following:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<subjects>
<subject>
<ID>1</ID>
[code]...
And well... this is where I'm stumped. What I need to do is read "position" and "menu_name_ice" (or in fact any of the "menu_name_*" but let's start with the first one) and, using Kirupa's excellent tutorial, that worked just fine except I need to read just one "subject" at a time, not all of them (there are plenty more, all in the same syntax).I'm using "position" to determine the posting order of "menu_name_*" to the stage and "visible" to determine whether or not to do so.

I have a site with an SWF that I can put some metrics into, such as ZIP Code, Weight, etc.. then, it takes that info and gives me shipping rates.
I need to build a front-end site that I can have a forms page that will push data to the backend SWF, and then return the data back from the SWF to the front end.
Front-end -> SWF (Zip Code, Weight, Size) -> *Calculates* -> Front-End
That should be the flow.. So I need to send data to the backend, GET the data that it calculated, and return the results to my front-end.

<noscript> <noscript>and i keep getting undefined.I have tried saving the file as flash 8 and i am publish flash 8.

We have implemented a Flash photo slideshow on our site and it works just fine for most of our users. Whenever the xml.load(success) returns false I have the Flash email me a debug report. For the life of me I can not find a common thread between all of these people having problems with the Flash. I don't think it's a cross-domain issue because it works for most people, and I have the crossdomain.xml files where they should be.

I have an Access Database (doesn't need to be Access, I can phpAdmin or mysql, whatever will work) that has a list of names. I want the user to open a Flash form and have the names load up into seperate input boxes for each name. The user can then change the names, move them, whatever, and then save the record. I want it to just overwrite the record. I donlt want create a new record. I cannot, for the life of me, figure this out. I have tried to find some tutorials but nothing makes sense. Is ASP a good way to go? I have been struggling with this for a week now.

I currently have a Flash app that gets populated by parsing data from an external XML file. However, I need to get the XML data into a (JSP) session and can't neccesarily have an external XML file--any suggestions? Can I put the XML string into a hidden input field in a form on the HTML? Can Flash communicate with that HTML? Or are one of the below methods recommended:
* FlashVars
* Flash Remoting
* Web services
* JavaScript - call JS function
* fscommand
* ExternalInterface

i load in AS3 data into flash and mantain their data type? Like receiving an array and even with arrays in it and recognizing that is an array instead of a standard string.
And if this is possible is it more reliable then using XML?

I'm sorry this is a question from a server ignoramus, I've previously captured user input using a combination of cfml and text files. That was way back in 2002 and using AS 1.0. I'm now working in an environment where the server guy won't put any scripts on, and I mean none, no PHP, no ASP, no CFML, nothing. Would anyone know if there is a way of capturing user input without using a script, please? This prolly shows a really basic lack of understanding of how servers work but I'm a bit desperate. I know the Flash Learning Interactions can work with SCORM and pop results into LMSs that use SCORM and our LMS does use SCORM, but it seems to only be within the learning interactions and I don't know where to start to tailor this for the input I need to capture.

I am using an mx:DateField in Flex and it works nice with the date picker, but I also need it to be editable, so I set editable="true". The problem is that now the user can enter anything they want - even though I have a formatString="YYYY-MM-DD" set. The date picker honors this format, but if the user enters in the format MM/DD/YYYY they can - or they can even enter garbage data.
I realize I can set up a data validator to check that it is a valid date and in the appropriate format as per the flex docs, but I was hoping to have something I have seen in other languages where the text field would show something like "0000-00-00" and the user clicks in to the field and it allows them to change only the digits (the zeros) and can not type any alpha characters or add/remove any length.

I'm sure it's easy to do, but I just cannot figure it out. I've created a timer but want to let the user set default values to start at so they don't have to modify the start time each time the program starts.I was able to create a text box but it is un-editable in the actual program. It displays '00' nicely but it's useless. I haven't even gotten to the point where the data is pulled and stored.
ActionScript Code:
var timerHrs1:TextField = new TextField();
timerHrs1.type = TextFieldType.INPUT;

I'm building a sidescrolling world where you can move around.The idea is that you should be able to move to any point in the world, as well as travelling really fast.I'm pregenerating a long list of data about objects to place, their positions etc.
Now. When moving to a point far away from current position I don't want to loop through the whole list of objects to find what objects should be seen and not, so I'm thinking I should divide the position list into sections, each covering an area equal to the visible area. That way I would only have to roll through the lists closets to the new position.This would however result in an array of thousands of elements each consisting of about 20 objects and I'm figuring that might not be very healthy.One solution would be to split everything up further so that in the end I would have a handable nr of arrays containing a handable nr of elements.
You're probably thinking I should generate positions on the fly, but since one place in the world can be revisited I need to store all positions.

Code:
<set label='Epson'>
<set label='Hitachi'>
<set label='Toshiba'>
<set label='Mitsui'>
<set label='Panasonic'>
[Code] .....
They will appear in a random order but only once in each graph. In essence, I need something that takes the XML label attribute and swaps it with an other value before sending it further on to the rest of the movie for processing. It would be more practical to do the swapping in the server app that writes the xml file before it is written but that is not possible so I need to do that search and replace when I load the xml in Flash... I could use even something like open the xml - search and replace values - save to new xml

I'm currently working on a project that contains a lot of data, about 14.000 records. This means an xml file of about 3mb. Now my question is: Should I use the xml file to load all the data at once, or should I use a webservice, that provides the data when I need it? Keep in mind that I'm new to webservices. And if I'm going to use a webservice: How do I store the data, in a mySQL database?How fast is a webservice?
