ActionScript 2.0 :: XML Populated ComboBox?
Dec 13, 2005
I am building an application that uses a series of combo boxes that are populated by XML.The XML nodes that populate the combo box have three attributes name, file and id. Name is the label that displays in the CB. File is not important now. ID is a value that I would like to set a variable to upon the user selecting a certain item. This is my question.I need to set a variable to the value that is determined by the ID attribute in the XML node upon a user selecting an item in the combo box. For example. user chooses France from the CB, the variable "id" is set to say 5 which is the value of the ID attribute in the xml node where France is the "name" attribute.

I have a combobox that needs to be populated with friends from an XML file. Once I've selected a name from the dropdown list, I need several text fields to be populated with information contained in several nodes of the XML. I was successful in accomplishing this with a very simple XML, but once my XML became more complex, I could no longer access specific nodes.
Here is my XML:
Code:
<myfriends><friends>
<friend name = "frank">
<outdoorsports>
<camping> No </camping>
<fishing> Sometimes </fishing>
[Code] ....
I have text fields labeled : Goes Camping, Likes to Hunt, Hikers, Married, Plays xbox360, etc.... When I select "Frank" from the drop down I need all these individual text fields to populate with his info. I can post the code that I found on the web for the simplified XML file that works if necessary.

I would like to populate a combobox from XML file in Flash. Then, when a list item of combobox is pressed then thumbnail image of that particular category is being loaded in a movieclip from XML file.
I spent a hard time to achieve this, but there is no success.
I used this code so far to accomplish this task.
Code:
var myXML = new XML();
myXML.ignoreWhite = true;
myXML.onLoad = function(loaded){

I tried making a multidimensional Vector that was populated by other Vectors that are populated by Strings.
ActionScript Code:
var myVect:Vector = new Vector.<Vector>;
for (i = 0; i < 10; i++)
{
myVect[i] = new Vector.<String>;
}
This is giving me a Type Coercion error, even though the Vectors all have the correct object types in them. Is the error because I'm putting a Vector full of Strings into another Vector?Also, I'm working with large amounts of data, so using Arrays aren't an option because I need all the performance I can get.

I'm using Flash CS3 and want to create a custom ComboBox. I've followed the steps outlined in "Editing component skins in a new document" (http:/[url]...), but every time I get to the step where I drag the ComboBox Assets folder from the HaloTheme.fla library into my library, if I test movie at that point my combobox has become an unclickable white rectangle with no label, button or anything.

I'm trying to set a specific list item in a mx combobox to have a custom item renderer, the problem is that I cannot do this via mxml, it needs to be done via actionscript at a later stage, eg: combobox gets created, combobox gets populated, user does other tasks, combobox needs to set one or more items in the combobox to have icons (via item renderer)..
I can do this via the onChange event, but it only applies the icon when the combobox is opened and there is a slight delay so you can see the icon being added.

**Warning** The linkage identifier 'ComboBox' was already assigned to the symbol 'ComboBox', and cannot be assigned to the symbol 'GUI MC/Combo Boxes/abc', since linkage identifiers must be unique.**Warning** The linkage identifier 'ComboBox' was already assigned to the symbol 'ComboBox', and cannot be assigned to the symbol 'GUI MC/Combo Boxes/def', since linkage identifiers must be unique.
Both of my ComboBoxes has the same identifier.I could not change the identifier through the properties tab because it is greyed out.

I am populating the text of text fields with data from an XML file. I would like to do two things.
The code looks like this:
PHP Code:
DSGbox.textFirstName.htmlText = xmlDSG.name.first; DSGbox.textLastName.htmlText = xmlDSG.name.last;
First, I would like to format the text... bold, font size, etc...Second, I would like to concatenate the first and last name to appear on the same line without space in between caused by two text fields. I tried the following, but it didn't work.
PHP Code:
DSGbox.textFirstName.htmlText = xmlDSG.name.first + xmlDSG.name.last;

I am working on a new rotator for an RSS feed. One of the fields I am displaying in the rotator is an article description. After the description, I would like to add a hyperlink that links to the page referenced. The link path, as well as all the data displayed, exists in the XML RSS file. I would like to append the link to the end of the article description and to display it in the form of the word "More".
Currently I am pulling in the description fine. I would now like to add the link, but I'm not sure how to append it. I don't know if I should create a button and try to put that on the end of the XML data, or is there a way to just create a text variable with a value of "More" and assign it a URL request.
the code to get my description looks like this:
PHP Code:
NewsBox.description.htmlText = xmlItem.description;
How do I append a text hyperlink onto that?

I have a Web site here: [URL] If you click on 'Portfolio', there are two columns which read from text files, CSS files, and an XML file to populate the page. Yesterday, when I looked at this page, the 'Links' column was populated, but the 'Tutorials' column was not; today, neither column is populated. Last week, the 'Tutorials' colum was populated, but not the 'Links' column.

On my stage i have a scroll pane (instance name scrollPane).I have a container which i populate with dynamically created clips (instance name faveContainer). The clips are in this case, just thumbnails pulled from a folder.I want to push that container into the scroll pane once its built up.Heres where i am currently....Im guessing that scrollPane isnt picking up the faveContainer off the stage, but out of the library, but while that might be the case, i don't know what to do about it.I saw kirupa example, and attempted to copy its behaviour, but, well, cant!
Code:
var garmentFaves = new Array("3","4","1","5","3","2","1","6","3","4","1","6","3","4");
//var garmentFaves = _root.favesArray;

I have an input box where a user enters in a temperature in Celsius and a dynamic text box where the converted Fahrenheit value appears. All is working well, but I want to keep the user's entered Celsius number constant in the input box and not disappear; that way they can't forget the original number they entered to get the conversion.

The class below is the Model in an MVC triad. It works fine when the businessUnits array is populated manually (see commented block in the constructor). However, when data is downloaded from a MySQL database using a php script, businessArray is NOT being populated and an error (see attached screenshot) is thrown. I know it is to do with 'listening/waiting' for the download to complete before populating the businessUnits array.

There are three methods: loadvars, xml and flash remoting. I have a great tutorial from Lee Brimlow but he only passes one column into a listbox. I want various columns passed into a datagrid.
I'm not too sure how to amend the php code
<?PHP
$link = mysql_connect("Localhost","user","password");
mysql_select_db("cambridgekidsdb");
$query = 'SELECT * FROM trivia_user';
$results = mysql_query($query);

Trying to do a scroll effect of some images I am loading in from an xml file. Problem is I need to limit the amount of scroll based on the width of the images - the number of images is controlled by the client and can vary. The problem is the actionscript does not seem to be able to detect the width of the combined images - heres the scroll code...

I have a question about loading new xml data into a already xml populated image gallery. So I have my gallery set up so it calls some xml when it first loads. What I would now like to do is load different sets of images via a different xml sheet via the click of a button.
So for example the loaded gallery already has all thumbs loaded and user can click on them to view the full size image. So next instead of the user having to close this gallery to allow a new gallery to open with a different set of pictures I would just like to have a button. This button will unload the existing thumbs from the gallery and load in new ones from a different xml file.
If anybody can help me with this it would be great as I am still on a steep learning curve with AS3.
Here is my AS3

I am trying to find an easy and robust way to override the default layout of DataGrid and populate its values in a left-right fashion. To illustrate:My data model is an array of: {a: xxx1..n, b: yyy1..n, c: zzz1..n}The default DataGrid component will lay this out as:
a b c
xxx1 yyy1 zzz1
xxx2 yyy2 zzz2
xxxn yyyn zzzn
etc.
With "a", "b", and "c" as the headers, and x, y, z being their values for each object in the dataProvider.Now I want to lay this out horizontally like so:
a xxx1 xxx2 xxxn
b yyy1 yyy2 yyyn
c zzz1 zzz2 zzzn
I've searched around for an answer but haven't hit on anything. Perhaps I'm just using the wrong keyword searches...Regardless, if anyone knows a solution to this, be it as mundane as a property setting I've somehow missed, or a 3rd party component, etc.
ps: Eventually, this must be entirely tab-enabled and cell-editable. If you have an esoteric solution involving a multi-field itemRenderer, please keep this in mind. I mention this because I have attempted such a solution and have failed to penetrate DataGrid's Unfailing Field of Tab Vitiation (ie DataGrid seems to override tab functionality inside its itemRenderer, forcibly setting focus to the next renderer/editor).
