ActionScript 2.0 :: Create A New Xml Document From Flash?
Apr 29, 2005
Is there a way to create a new xml document from flash?
I was thinking I could just have flash try to load a file that isn't there and it would create it itself, but that didn't work.
Anyone know if there is a way to do that?
Another one would be to delete an xml document from flash?
I'm trying to make a multiplayer game... When two people play each other I want to create a new xmlFile that the two people will read and write to while playing so it doesn't effect other people playing different games... And to delete the document when they are done so as not to waste space with already played games
when i create a new document in Flash CS3 with choosing "ActionScript 3.0", i cannot edit the action script for any clips/buttons i made and when i pressed F9, it showed "current selection cannot have actions applied to it". however, when i created a flash file with selecting ActionScript 2.0, I have no such issue any more.
1. Create a new Flash document of size 450—300. 2. Create two dynamic text fields on the left side of the stage. Type some text into them as I have done. Give them instance names of titleText and contentText. 3. Create a new empty movie clip (Insert -> New Symbol). Give it a name Image holder and hit OK. 4. Drag the image holder from the library to the stage. Position it right after the title text field (refer to screenshot). Give the image holder an instance name of imageHolder 5. Now we need to create the images that show up on the right side of each page. Feel free to use your own, or use the ones that I have. Remember the location where you save these images! You will need the path when we define the image sources in the XML document.
So I am reading this tutorial and basically what it says is:create this script:HelloWorld3.as)
Code: package {import flash.display.*;
[code].....
After that create a flash movie (a fla?)and add 'HelloWorld3.as' as the document class.Now I should run it and should be able to see 'hello word' ? but its blank?
i'm gonna make a flash header in cs4 to be placed on the webpage of a friend. the flash header is going to contain some small images and some text, all this is easy to do, but i'm wondering about how to publish it to the web, is a swf file and the html file enough? i want to create a text document where my friend later can exchange the images and the texts for his webpage by himself, without him having to do this in a flash programme. is this possible?
here is an example of how i want the header to look like, when you have the mouse hovered over the one big image[URL]..
We have a requirement to show documents (if we have URL for a document) within Flash. We have a need use embedded document viewer for MS Office and PDF documents. Are there any Flash controls available to acheive this?
When I open the Flash CS4 application, it starts up fine. If I select create new flash file, the entire application crashes. That's as far as I can get. I've made all of the recent updates that I can - it's flash version 10.0.2 ... I'm running OSX v10.4.11
I've tried restarting, that doesn't do anything. I've also tried starting up Flash with nothing else open. Haven't re-installed the entire thing yet (probably what I'll do next).
Code: // Creare document XML in Actionscript 2 (AS2) var xmlDocument:XML = new XML(); // specificam numele nodului radacina
[Code]....
Here it is the result. Also I have a tag named item1 that contains a title and the tag title is nested in tag item1 and also tag title has an attribute called Actionscript.
I'm using Flash CS3. Inside my document class, how can I create a child MovieClip that loads an image from a URL? what I did wrong? I tried changing the Main class to a Sprite, still not working.
I'm trying to dispatch a custom event. So that my main document class can react when a nav button is clicked.I have a navbutton class which creates the dispatch's the event... and is handled by the onNavigate Method...
This onNavigate method works perfectly.... however when I try to create a listener in my main document class I don't "hear" the event.Here's part of the code from the main doc class...here's where I register the listener
this.addEventListener("NAVIGATE", doSomething);
here's where I should handle it...
private function doSomething(e:Event) { trace(e.target.name); trace(e.target._label.text);
I need to have a frame action launch a .html file (call it "time-crunched.html"), and then the flash window should close. That's it. It seems like it should be easy (and it WAS easy in previous versions).
I have already tried using the gotourl feature from AS2, but I keep being told that the functionality has been disabled in the current version.
I am on Windows XP, but I need the Windows projector file to work on XP, Vista, and 7, and the Mac projector file to work on 10.0 forward.
I want to create a flash document that allows me to change the colous of an image using a colour palette of my own. I am a complete beginner and have no idea where to start this, hence i would need to know what to do and how to do it. I basically want the image to be a simple 2d image that i will create using different layers in photoshop and import them into flash, the layer images will all be one colour so the colour of the whole layer changes. so the colour palette will be on the side of this and when i click on an image and then a colour the image changes to the colour i clicked.
Can I set the style of another document from it's parent document? At the moment its giving me the error 1119: Access of possibly undefined property StyleManager through a reference with static type DesignCardForm.
I have a FLA (say Main.FLA) document class with a child MovieClip on the stage: into the child MovieClip I load other swf files: each of the files contains its own Document Class (every swf is a somewhat independent application, say quizzes and so on).For some reason I must use the Main document class to store data (scores or so) from the child swfs loaded into the Main swf. HOW do I reference the Main class? I can't find a way.[code]and dispatch an Event this way from the loaded swf document class to the Main class:[code]Now, first of all I don't know if this could even work. Secondly, I tried to make it work by adding an event listener to my Main class but id did not work.
So I had a working .fla, with a document class package in the same directory. Everything was fine, until moving both to a new directory, now the fla cannot find the document class. WTF?
Is it possible to overlay an animated gif on top of a flash banner?I have an html page, where I want to re-work our main banner with flash elements, but would like to place our existing animated gif over the right hand part of the background banner.
What I'm working on is a navigation bar populated by an XML document. I'm working from an existing navigation bar while I learn, and the existing bar has a menu, and when clicked each button has a sub menu. I'm trying to remove the submenu so that when you click the navigation bar button, you go to the address defined in the XML. So far I've got everything working so that there is no sub menu drop down, and when you click a button, you are taken to a URL defined in the actual flash AS file.
I can't seem to get the AS file to call on the XML file to the get a URL from it though. How do I tell the AS file to call a variable from the XML document? I know I have the correct Node path because it works in a second AS file.
I have a simple Flash document with a single rectangle on a stage. I've made the rectangle a symbol, a MovieClip, and set its instance name to "test_symbol_name". I've published this document to a .swf. (Here's the .fla and .swf)In an AS3 Flash Builder project I load the swf with a Loader, then trace everything on it's display list with this function:
public static function traceDisplayList(container:DisplayObjectContainer, indentString:String = "->"):void { var child:DisplayObject;
I am using this tutorial to install lightbox within a flash cs3 as2 document[URL]..I got everything to work, now I am trying to set up the code to load an html page in the lightbox without changing the option to load jpg's as well.
So far I've tried changing the code in flash to say .html instead of .jpg and The lightbox keeps loading without ever finding the file.
