ActionScript 2.0 :: Browse Through An Xml (skip Nodes)?
Mar 26, 2007
I'm actually having problems with some AS code. I have a news ticker successfuly adapted from this site, and it's working okay. But I have to add some features I cannot solve by myself, so I 'm asking some help here. My problem is the following :
By what means can I force the Setinterval to be "skipped" (I'd like to add a fast forward/rewind buttons) with a simple MC ? I know a bit about the clearInterval function, but this leads to an akward behaviour of my flash movie (once skipped, the XML is not read in a chronological order� and so on).
The trick is that I I have differents controls type :
- a simple combo previous/next + play-pause buttons
- 4 areas that lead to a particular node (which works partially)
Instead of posting the whole code here, I attach my source .fla + XML (to be renamed as .xml extension is not recognized in the attachments) for you to see how messy is my code (more than partially adapted from the news_ticker.fla used on the tutorials here)
What I need is for each of the nodes highlighted in green to return the child Nodes. Example: when I move the mouse over the menu Indoor lighting, the results should be: Indoorlighting | LED 10W> 3W LED> LED 6W
For those unfamiliar with tree structures, tree structures are usually dynamic lists where every node has a pointer to two other nodes. They are arranged so it makes for faster searching and stuff and are very useful in programming languages that offer direct access to heap memory. Although I don't know if there would be benefits of making tree structures in AS would be of any help but I decided to have a go at it anyway. Since there are no pointers in flash I tried to just replace pointers to nodes with nodes themselves. Such things usually work in java I think because the language just automatically makes pointers for variables.
I am trying to call the browse() method of the FileReference class from JavaScript (a user clicks on a text that uses the ExternalInterface to call a method in Flash).Unfortunately, I receive an error that tells me it has to be a direct action of the user (like clicking a button). I have searched through Google and realized this is a new security feature in Flash 10.The only solutions I could find was to put a Flash button or to have a hidden flash button over the text, that will call the browse() method.I wanted the browser only to show JavaScript and all the Flash code only called from JavaScript.
I have a requirement to select a file from fileReference.browse(), but I want to browse a file to specific location say D:Dirfile instead of the OS specific (The dialog box is native to the user's operating system).
I'm having troubles with a contact form containing two file uploads (two buttons with Filereference.browse()-call). On all of my computers, the form works fine (Mac + PC); my client, however, reports a 20-second delay on opening the second browse dialog box (the first one opens right away). Client is on a Mac with latest Flash player version. If he double-clicks it, there is no delay. If he first clicks the second button, the delay is on the first.
I have created an image cropper application that upload an image, crop it and generates an jpg to server.BUT, this works perfectly well locally at my Mac at work, online on the server, but not locally at my laptop at home???Why and what the *** can I do?Everything seems fine. I click browse, and the fileReference opens the finder dialog box. But whatever I press, doubleclick the image, press select etc, flash tracks this as if I clicked cancel. The fileRef.onCancel activates, insted of the onSelect???Could it be something wrong with my flash program? Is it anything I can do to fix this (change somthing in the preferenced etc.)?
I am using a filereference.browse box so that users can upload images.although the browse box has a cancel button on it, I am also creating an mc_cancel button ( just in case the user's OS's browse does something funny ).currently, when mc_cancel is pressed, I call my_file_ref.cancel() ... but it doesn't actually close the box ... is it supposed too?
Is anybody able to figure out what's wrong with this (or specifically why it doesn't work in mac browsers)?

I've tried lots of different options including the yamago component [URL]. The yamago component works but I don't like the complexity of the code, it's difficult to edit. It also doesn't work in safari on a MAC.
My example above is the simplest version I've been able to get working but unfortunately only on PC.
I was wondering if there is a way to do a browse button for a field in flash, a la php where you click it, you can navigate a file you want to upload, and it populates the file in the text field (basically a file upload type of thing). i know that you will need to use php/mysql to go along with it
Id like to know how to make a very simple script that uploads files to a server.The file should be accessed by a "browse"-button in the .swf-file, and then put into a folder.
I have a contact from on a website i am making in flashCS4, i have the PHP script written for me and i have the Action Script to submit this information. i am now looking to add a browse and a upload form.
how do i browse through all the children with the same instance names from a movieclip?note: this movieclip has some children with other names as well.
I'm making a small back-end system, and I would like to know if it's possible to integrate a browse button...I did already soms "research"...I pass a var from flash to javascript
With this you select a file and the path will appear as a string in the textfield. Now the thing I want is to call the function, when I click a button in Flash, that chooses a file and passing the string back to flash, to put it there in a textfield. But how do you call that function?

Can you by any means of java script or anything else get a browse window to pop up from within flash? Return the selected file, or even get a php script to upload it?
I have (4) buttons with a play action that all play the same series of frames labeled:"1out"(19 frames long), when they get to the (19th) frame the action at that frame tells it to goto frame label "begin". I want only one of those buttions to have a different action when it gets to frame 19, instead of going to frame label"begin" I want it to goto frame label "2in" I thought I set up the code right for the single button, and frame 19 but it wont work,
I am trying to get my application to load images from my local hard drive. I browse to the image files (no problem so far) by when I select the file to load I get an input/output error. I CAN load images successfully if they are in the same folder (directory) as the Flash application I am creating. Is it possible to load image files selected from folders other than the active application folder?
