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){

hey, i'm trying to create a list by duplicating buttons, and then when these buttons are clicked, they load a movie
so far here's my script in a frame
[AS]
text1 = "link1";
text2 = "link2";
[Code]...
however this doesn't work too well, the position of new buttons dont really go where they are supposed to go (which should be directly under each other). neither does the entering of the text in the new button work.
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 need to create a scrollable list of buttons. Only vertical scrolling is enough. The main thing is that, the buttons and scroll bar should be custom drawn. One and two dimension of button layout support is needed.
View 3 RepliesI have created an organizational chart for the company I work for displaying all current employees. Each contact is shown as a button that displays a 'popup' window on rollover. All of this works perfectly. What I want is to create an option to click on each button and the individuals email address be added to a dynamic text field at the bottom of the page.
Just to clarify, I am able to have text entered into the text field on each click, however, clicking on the next button removes the previous text. I want each click to create a new entry in a list. For example: "contact1; contact2; contact3;" etc etc. The end result would be for the user to copy all text (email addresses) from the dynamic text box and paste it into their Outlook "To" section.
there are many tutorials out there on how to use this function, what I am trying to do and can't seem to find a tutorial on is using navigateToURL with the "mailto" email address being populated from an XML list.
For example you have a list of offices and each office has a lead. I want to populate a List component with the office name, and when clicked I want it to open the email client and populate the To: and Subject line from the xml file.
What I have so far populates the Office name into the list and when clicked the mail client will open but doesnt populate the To because I can't figure it out. I believe I need to specify a var to pull the email address from the xml list, I just cant seem to get it right.

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 want to create a simple high score list of 10 high scores of a game. From reading the forums I seem to get the idea that flash cannot create a simple text file. I don't have php or asp but do have cgi capability. Does anyone know where I can find a simple cgi-script that will allow me to write the text the cgi receives to a simple text file: game.sco I want to be able to write a single long string to it so that I create a string of values and can load it back in using flash loadvariables. I can create the string in flash... but how do I write it to a text file using a cgi script? the text file would include this string...I already know how to read it and split it to parse it into arrays:

View 3 RepliesI made a basic text editor that lets users insert predefined strings into the document with button clicks. What I need to do now is let the user define their own buttons and string values. For example I have a button that inserts "Hello" into the text. The user may want to create a button that adds "Goodbye".To accomplish this I figured I would create a .txt file called buttons.txt or something. i would readutfbytee, loop through it to create the buttons. problem is I know what I want to do but not sure where to start

View 1 RepliesI'm using Flash 8 and I'm trying to load new text into a dynamic text box already populated by a xml file.
I have a home page with 5 different buttons on the top menu.
1. Home
2. News
3. Tips
and a few more.
Upon my home page loading, I have a dynamic text box with the welcome text which is populated by my xml file, here is my code for AS2:
function loadXML(loaded) {
if (loaded) {
_root.home = this.firstChild.childNodes[0].childNodes[0];
_root.tips = this.firstChild.childNodes[1].childNodes[0];
[Code].....
What I want to do is load the news and tips text into the same dynamic text box on the home page when the news or tips button is clicked, so I don't have to load a whole new swf for each category thus making the site faster.
What code would I have to use to clear the text from the xml file and how would I load my new text upon clicking the button?

View 2 RepliesI have several button symbols on my stage, some of which are enabled while some are not (I enable/disable them using actionscript).I just need a way to access the "enabled" property of all the buttons on the stage so that I have an array which has the full path of enabled buttons and another for the unenabled buttons. That way, in case I have to lock the screen by disabling all the buttons, I'll know which ones to enabled once I turn them back on.

I have an external video list (array) that is set up to load and play in an FLVPlayback component. The client wants individual audio control buttons: 1) Up volume 2) mute 3) Down volume. I have AS on each of the buttons but it's not controlling the volume of any of the videos. The only one that works is the mute or "stop all sounds." I'm unsure on how to go about getting what I want.

View 9 RepliesI have a list of buttons each one bring to stage an image. The problem is I want the button to both load image and unload the image that is now on the stage from previous press on other button.
ActionScript Code:
var loader:Loader;
c1_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, c1);
function c1(event:MouseEvent):void{
var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest("1950s/julia1.jpg");
if(loader != null){
[Code] .....
This is an example of 2 buttons from my list. This code is for unload the other image but it only works ones. it's not working on the other buttons. So what the problem in this code?
if(loader != null){
loader.unload();
Object(root).menu_mc.menuIn_mc.diary_mc.diaryW_mc. pic_mc.removeChild(loader);
}
I used attachMovie to load a movieclip from the library into the stage. And in the movieclip, it has another movieclip named "imageHolder". As I wanted the movieclip to be placed on the stage like a list of buttons. The code goes as follows:
for(var i=0; i < 5; i++) {
_root.attachMovie("menuBtn", "menuItem" + i, 0);
_root["menuItem" + i]._x = 150;
_root["menuItem" + i]._y = 150 + setHeight * _root["menuBtn" + i]._height;
_root["menuItem" + i].imageHolder = loadMovie("something.jpg" , "imageHolder");
}
But the something.jpg doesn't appeared when I test the movie. And something.jpg is in the same directory as the .fla file.
I am trying to make a generic list control that has x buttons in it so that users can remove items from the list by clicking the x button. However, this list control needs to support item renderers while still standardizing the layout of items placed next to x buttons.
So I figure the best approach would be to extend the list control and use a renderer that draws the x button and combines that with what ever renderer the user supplies. Unfortunately I cannot figure out how to do that.
I tried overriding newInstance method from the IFactory interface and used that to create an HBox that contains my button and inserts the newInstance result from a user supplied renderer, however it wasn't complete. It displayed as I expected, but the mouse over effect only worked on the user supplied renderer portion and not the entire HBox that my custom renderer made.
I'm trying to add the btns in array "but" via stageMc.addChild(section1), but instead of tracing "section1" I get "instance1", and of course stageMc wont advance. I guess what I'm asking, is whats the diff. from a functional standpoint if I embed the clips in flash, or embed them into the stageMc clip via the display list? what am I missing? FYI, this code works, so long as i place the assets on stage myself. But I want to add the btns via the display list, and i can add them, they just instanciate wrong?
