ActionScript 2.0 :: XML Parser That Returns Strings To Dispatcher
Apr 25, 2006
I've tried to make an XML parser class using ASBroadcaster, that would act as a listener, and then have methods like getNode(n), which when called, would return the value of that node as a string to the dispatcher/caller.
This doesn't really work all that well, since I'm unsure of how to adress the dispatcher/caller in an economic way.
Do I have to supply the caller object as an argument when broadcasting from it, then do another broadcast for setNode inside the XMLParser.getNode method, supplying it as an argument again, and then check with an if statement in the setNode of the caller, whether it is the right one or not. Seems a bit over the top.
I'd want XMLParser to be a centralised class, that all other objects would refer to via some listener or get/set thing, instead of having an instance of it in each of the objects that would use it.

I have a load file and a write to file method. We all know what they do. How ever load always returns true and write always returns false....Right there you know somethings wrong. Because The forums have an issue with me posting code...I posted it here: [URL] Based on this code what is the issue here? why is write always returning false and why is load always returning true? (even for files that do not exist). My understanding is that if flash cannot find the file it should write to it will create it and if it cant load said file, then that method should return false.

I work on AS3 one week, and then take a break for a few weeks, then work on it a day, take a break, etc.. So I forget some of the basics, and need refreshers. I think I need to stop taking breaks.
Problem: I push multiple strings into an array, and some of the strings are the same.
Code:
var myArray = new Array();
myArray.push (Snivvle);
myArray.push (Kirupa);
myArray.push (Snivvle);
I want to find out which element positions "Snivvle" hogs up. We can see that it would be using element 0 and 2, and if we do an "indexOf" we would only get to see element 0, and doing a "lastIndexOf" we would only see element 2. How do I find out ALL of the element positions "Snivvle" is located in, so that it returns: element 0, element 2.

I'm having with a menu navigation system. I'm using Flash MX. I have created a menu system for the site I'm building ([URL]) where one of the buttons "Choose photographer" drops down a list of names. All the other buttons just jump to another page. The drop down is currently using tweens also the logo moves to the left as the dropdown appears and returns when the dropdown returns. All working fine apart from its a bit jerky.
It's I just wanted to get away from tweening and use action scripts instead, as I'm a newbie to all things Flash I trawled the net for tutorials and examples so that I could cobble together the exact same effect. I have managed to get the drop down work and return using the action script and it does seem smoother and works slightly better. But can I get the logo to move to the left and back in time with the drop down...no.

This is my first post ever on ActionScript.org. I confess, I suck at ActionScript. Yet I had to put together a website, for which I had to shamelessly borrow code snippets from so many different places. It was working fine, until I got stuck with some colour management issues. I am a 3D artist making a portfolio website. There are some categories under portfolio such as 3D art, 2D art, Photographs, etc. So I wrote down the category names in an XML and used a parser script in case I need to re-use it or create categories of different names later.

I have a basic XML file and a parser in as3.
So far, I can get it to parse and trace data from the xml file:
{
xml = new XML(e.target.data);
var tester = xml.item;
[Code].....
My objective is to pass in a bunch of variables from my XML file that I can use anywhere in the flash project.

I have two movieclips: MovieClip X and MovieClip Y.
MovieClip Y is nested inside of MovieClip X. MovieClip Y contains buttons with listeners attached to them. These listeners call a method
Code:
buttonClickedHandler();
inside of buttonClickedHandler();... dispatchEvent() is called to dispatch a custom event that bubbles up to MovieClip X. This chain of events works as intended, I can set up a listener in MovieClip X for the custom event and everything is fine...
The problem comes when I try to invoke a dispatch on a button in MovieClip Y without actually physically clicking it. If i call
Code:
ButtonA.dispatchEvent(new MouseEvent(MouseEvent.click));
the listener for the button click event will fire properly, and if i trace the dispatchEvent of the custom event, it returns true meaning the event was dispatched successfully. But in MovieClip X... the listener for that custom event is never fired, its as if the custom even is not bubbling.

Ok I have 3 classes as an example. Main.as
AutoSlide.as
ControlPac
Main looks like this.
Code:
package com {
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.events.Event;[code]....
But I also though other objects could be setup to listen for an event that has been dispatched. This is why I put a listener on ControlPac
Code:
controlPac.addEventListener(AutoSlide.CALL_SLIDE, callNextSlide);
But its not hearing the dispatched event. I tried to extend ControlPac as an evnt and also as a Sprite but its still not able to receive dispatched events from another object

Does anyone know of a parser for math functions?
Basically, I want to be able ot take a string such as:
(x + (x - 3)/2 * 4)^2
and compute the answer. Before I make the parser on my own, I thought I'd check to see if anyone has something similar already made.

I am evaluating the possibility of developing a JSFL script to parse a FLA and need to know first if it would be able to do what i want to do. I need the script to parse through all the library's linked assets, recursively go through their children, replace all the children of type "Group" with a bitmap and then save that FLA as a new file. I haven't received an ok to develop this yet at work, but i'm trying to evaluate the possibility for a proposal.

I need to load and apply CSS at runtime in my Flex app. I know that the adobe docs say that you need to compile the CSS before loading it but I would like to find a work around. I know that you can set individual styles like this:

I know that the adobe flex.text.StyleSheet class has a CSS parser but I could not find a way to harness that. (Is there a way to get that source code?)

I was studying about EventDispatcher and tried to make my own class and interface IEventDispatcher.Then later i was wondering, what use does the interface have anyway when you still have to declare the functions that are in the interface to the class that implements the interface? The dispatcher will still work without the interface. Like addEventListener, removeEventListener, these functions are within EventDispatcher so why do i need an IEventDispatcher?

I have a ColorPicker Component and I want to (on its CHANGE EVENT) have the LISTENER OBJECT ( known as A) change ANOTHER OBJECT's (known as B) color, based on the ColorPicker's.selectedColor. I do this because i need OBJECT A to keep track of the colors used. Also OBJECT B is dynamic and its instance is based on USER INTERACTION thus B can equal B1 or B2 or C based on mouse click at any given time but must only be 1 at any given time. SO I'm trying to "chain" the events together using listeners/ or delegation but I'm not sure at the logic.how do i reference the objects in the event? should I just try to chain B to listen directly to the event? How can I do this without having to attach listers to the colorpicker every time?

there are 2 functions in my code that dispatch a TweenEvent. each function dispatches the same tween and adds the same TweenEvent.MOTION_FINISH event listener. however, the event listening function must act according to which function dispatched the event. is it possible to get the function of the event dispatcher from the event listener? i could use a flag to make this work if there are no other elegant solutions.

I have been having an issue that I can't seem to solve, I have been fumbling with it most of the day. I am tying to dispatch a custom event in one class and listen for it in another. Here is how my app is built. I have a main swf that loads another swf called LoadingDoors into it. In my LoadingDoors Document class I dispatch a listener:
private function timerListener(event:TimerEvent):void
{
if(doorsMC.currentFrameLabel == "Closed")

I've a parent (Canvas) with many children (LinkButtons)The linkButtons trigger an event to communicate between them:[code]Now, the issue is that the event is only listened by the dispatcher child. In other words, only the child triggering the event, is receiving it. I was wondering what's wrong with it, and if I should add a listener to the parent (Canvas)I basically need the children (LinkButton) communicate between them

I have a GlobalDispatcher Singleton class extending EventDispatcher that can be accessed through a static getInstance () method by any class after the constructor has been called. i have a host movie that calls the GlobalDispatcher constructor and sets up a listener for a custom event. This host movie then dynamically loads in a different external movie (in the same domain as the host). This movie calls the getInstance method to get the instance of the GlobalDispatcher. Then after an animation it has the GlobalDispatcher dispatch the same custom event the host is set to listen to. The host then captures the event dispatched by the dynamically loaded movie.
