I used the search best of tutorial URL... to build a similar system. The thing is that my xml has much more content and now the search only presents partial results instead of all. I suspect that this has something to do with lack of time to preform a complete search to the xml file to get all the results and display them in flash.

I want that border of images to be of the same width and height and for that I need to find out the max width and height size image before loading all the images.

View 1 RepliesIn have an application that uses buttons t0 load different text files. The problem is when I load the second text file I still get variables from the first one showing. To clarify things, suppose I load a file that displays variables 1 through 5 randomly when I click one button, then I click a second button in order to load a file that displays 6 through 10. The problem is that I still get some variables from 1-5 when I want to get only 6-10. Is the first file kept in memory or something? How do I unload or clear the temp/memory where the content of the first file is held.

View 6 RepliesI seem to recall that Loader.unload() could once be used to stop loading a swf before it had finished loading. I can no longer find documentation or the blog where I read this. Perhaps it was an unofficial feature. Anyhow, IModuleInfo, returned by ModuleManager.getModule() has an unload() method. If I want to halt loading a Flex Module that is in progress, do I just call iModuleInfo_instance.unload()?

I have this gradient backgroun where it goes from 0-100-0 of alpha.When I rollover a button, I add in the bg, and when i rollout of the bg, i remove it.The problem now is when I rollover the button the 2nd time,it seems like the bg added already have a previous added gradient bg, and it added a new 1 on top.so each time I rollover the button the alpha of the gradient will go higher
exp:
1st time rollover:0-100-0
2nd time rollover:10-100-10

I'm building a dynamic scoreboard for a client currently. The first application will be a golf leaderboard. It needs to be updateable by the client (I'll write a form that fills in the xml file from the users input)I need to have a xml file that defines..-number of columns/rows-titles-content in each boxand then the flash that takes that and generates a table from it.Is there any tutorials or source files floating around that do this? There's plenty that talk about in-game scoreboards, but we need to have all the data input from an external file.
View 1 RepliesI am having a problem with a swf completly disappearing when using wmode at all. When wmode parameter is removed, the swf appears fine. The bug only occurs in FF on a PC (and only some of the time at that ). When theres only a limited amount of html code in the surrounding page (even with wmode ), the swf is visible, however at a certain point, ANY extra line of code causes it to break.

View 4 RepliesI've having a problem when I am removing a child. There is an area where you can choose a button to click(there are multiple buttons here). Once you click a button it loads workss_mc and you can go back from there and workss_mc is being removed then work_mc is being added again. The problem is once it is added again and you click on any of the other buttons the frame label from the previous session when it was clicked is still at that location.

View 3 RepliesI made a game where you have a bunch of enemies coming at you from the top of the screen and you move your mouse to avoid them but now i am trying to add a shooting ability and I tried using the code
if (shipenimy.hitTestObject(bullet)){
removeChild(shipenimy);
}else { }
but when this happens it removes the child from being displayed but even though it is not displayed if you go to where it would be it still counts it as a collision and will end the game even though the child has been removed and I need to find a way to completely remove it so that there is not a chance of running into it after you have shot it.
While animating in Flash CS5 I have had all sorts of strange things happen, which never occurred in CS3 or CS4. Most recently, after drawing an image inside a movieclip symbol, I returned to the root timeline to noticed i had lost my entire timeline and every single layer. lot of work lost. All I had was a blank stage and no matter what I tried I could not get it back. The timeline panel was there, just completely empty.Prior to this, whenever I published a .swf to test my animation, i had several frames worth of blank stage before the animation was shown. For instance, my stage colour was a pale green, and all I saw was pale green for a split second. This got progressively worse before the issue mentioned above occurred.Another strange thing is that I get a completely random moviclip play at the end of my .swf. So,

View 4 RepliesSo, I have web page that uses javascript to let a user select different audio files to listen to (using this player[url]... which works great in every browser except for any version of IE. After the audio starts playing I can't figure out a programmatic way to make the audio stop playing after the user clicks on another item to listen to. I don't have access to the source of the swf so I'm trying to use javascript to do this. I went so far as to replace the entire body of the page - $("body").html("blank") - but it still played the audio loaded into the swf in it's entirety.
Is there any way I can completely remove a swf from a page (sound and all) just using javascript?
I have been able to unload the SWF (emptyMC.removeChildAt(0) ), or so I thought, but if there is sound playing in the loaded SWF it continues to play after the loader with the old SWF is unloaded. I know there is the unloadAndStop() method but I don't know how to incorporate it into my current code.Here is what I have so far. And mind you, eventually there will be 20 pages in the site, let me know:
ActionScript Code:
btnMENU.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,loadHome);
btnAPPT.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, loadAbtDoctor);

I use flash MX 2004, and I've been facing a problem. I made this flash program to load a jpeg, and to resize and display it.. But the problem is, it works, but not in a stream I mean My program work in 4 phases::
1. Load the jpeg
2. Check and compare the image's height and width with the given parameters
3. resize the image... 3.1.. First height... 3.2.. Then width
4. Display the resized image
The problem I am having is, it does phase 1, then does nothing... I experimented with it a bit, and then i found... Let it do the phase 1, then goto another frame, then back to previous frame... It does step 2.. Do same thing again for other phases... Its sort of like I am refreshing my frame again and again to make my code work in bits and pieces.

I have a 30 second long animation (18fps). Movie symbol 135 frames long which loop 4 times using countTextField/if/else etc. and then gotoAndStop on a static frame. According to the company that are posting it on their site, the animation doesn't stop.
Are there any other ways of completely stopping an animation?
