View 1 RepliesBasically I'm trying to output the contents of an XML document into a dynamic text field (as loaded - not just its node values and content - the entire thing - into a variable called _root.log). The text field is set to show the variable value of _root.log.This is the actionscript...

I have a list box in my flash file that I would like to display a string from an xml file that has been run though html entities in php. So for instance I need the string.
Code:
Hey "Leonardo£$£$()*%£% '"' [1999]
to display as
Code:
Hey "Leonardo;$;$()*%$% '"' [1999]
I can get this to happen in my dynamic text boxes by using .htmlText to display but I have no idea how I would do this in the list box?

View 1 RepliesWhat options exist for rendering markup in Actionscript? I am looking for something I can use to write templates for menus, tooltips, and other display/frontend stuff in a Flash application. I want to be able to load a template from a string, and then render it as a display object. The kinds of things that would go inside would include text, with possible font styles, text positioning, and images.
View 3 RepliesI am using a flipbook Flash/Actionscript 3.0 framework for a digital magazine[url]...
You can have videos embedded in the pages of the flipbook, but they can not be display fullscreen like Youtube videos, for example.
The flipbook can also import swf files to display as pages of the flipbook, so another way of embedding videos into a page of the flipbook would be to have the video player in the swf page you are embedding. This gives you more control over the style and the positioning of the video.
My question is: Is there a way with AS3.0 to togle the embedded video from normal predefined size to fullscreen and back?
When I use swfobject (or, for that matter, publish from Flash)...if my HTML file is in the same folder as my Flash .swf (called "bin")...the flash file displays as a blank white page. I can tell the .swf is on the page, because when I right-click I see the flash context menu...however, the swf is blank. So the path isn't written incorrectly.If I move the HTML file inside the "bin" folder and change the path from "bin/myFile.swf" to "myFile.swf" everything works again...what gives?I think it might have something to do with using the Loader class...I am using loaders to loader external .jpeg files. But I don't know what to do about this other than to keep my HTML files in my "bin" folder which is a bit of a pain.

I have a String variable in my flex (flash builder 4) application containing CSV data. I need to allow the user to download this data to a local file. For example, giving them a "csv" button to click and it might present them with a save file dialog (and I would be sending the contents of my string variable).Is this possible / how ?I am using the ResuableFX component for the datagrid to csv. This the code I ended up with that works to save the string to a text file for the user (in a web browser):
var dg2CSV:DataGrid2CSV = new DataGrid2CSV();
dg2CSV.includeHeader=true;
dg2CSV.target=adgEncounters;

I am building little games never anything too big. I'm having fun. I'm getting the following error message 1067: Implicit coercion of a value of type String to an unrelated type flash.display:DisplayObject.
It's got to do with the varObject variable I pass into the hitTestObject (at the end of the code) a. I exported the moveclip for actionscript and gave it an instance name so what's the problem???

I recently found out that the flash swf's I was trying to load were in as2 which is causing a great deal of problems. The sad reality is I need to load these up somehow, or find some alternative.What are my options for loading as2 into as3 from a remote source (different domain). I'm using Flashbuilder 4.5 as my development tool. I've been using flex for about two weeks now, so this is a little daunting.
View 4 RepliesI'm attempting to use mod_rewrite to clean up the URL's to a flash video player. First,here is the original URL that I'm trying to rewrite to:library/player.swf?path=path-to-file.flvhe above URL works perfectly fine when I access it directly. I have coded the swf to automatically grab the path parameter and play the video. No problems there. Now here is my attempted rewrite rule:RewriteRule ^player/(.+)$ library/player.swf?path=$1 [QSA,L]When visiting the url player/path-to-file.flv, I get the swf but no video loads. I set up a popup window in the flash to tell me the path name for debugging purposes, and it looks like the path isn't being passed at all.On the other hand if I use the exact same rule but point it to a test.php instead of player.swf, the test.php file is able to echo out the parameter

View 3 RepliesI want to create a Flash movie which displays four numerical values. I am a teacher and the four numbers are pupil teampoints gained during the week in class. Each friday I want to open the Flash movie and the four numbers to be displayed with a bit of music in the background for dramatic effect!I want the Flash movie to retrieve the four numbers from a txt file located in the same folder as the movie. I want this as other teachers at my school will then be able to come along and change the totals without having to fiddle around in Flash, and also so that the values can be entered before the children arrive in class. Is this possible? I think there are functions in Flash that retrieve information from txt files but I am not sure!
View 11 RepliesAt the end of my game I display the users name as a string and score as a variable, would there be any way to send these two pieces of info outbound to display in an html file?
I've found some things on XML files but I'm not too sure what thats all about.
My ultimate goal is to have each users name and score sent to a file which sorts them, highest score at the top. Then each time the page is refreshed the new scores would appear in the right order.

View 1 RepliesI bought a website template that has a scrolling photo gallery. As it came, the images are static in the fla file itself. I would like to edit the fla and load images dynamically. Ideally from MSSQL. I'm using VS2010, C# webforms, and SQL Server 2008 R2. Are there any code snippets or tutorials or general guidance on how to do this? I do have a CS3 disc with Flash on it I can use for editing.
View 1 RepliesI've been looking around like a forensic scientist piecing together information for my latest project. Basically I need to display a particular webpage within my flash file... Now I know flash can display simple HTML, but nothing complex and nothing from an external source... BUT I know flash can also handle PHP - obviously. The page I need to load is a wordpress website, a combination of PHP codes and simple HTML snippets... but what I couldn't find was a way of inserting the snippets into a control box or movieclip on my page (actually run the PHP code to fetch HTML snippets).

View 2 RepliesIs it possible to display a multiline string in a Flex DataGridColumn?i.e. Display:
Text line one.

I've tried putting "

"," " when storing the string but nothing seems to work.Currently only "Text line one." is displayed and the rest is hidden in the cell. I would prefer not to use "wordWrap=true" to emulate this behaviour in the cell, but instead be able to manually put in newline breaks (although I could turn on wordWrap to avoid long text from hiding due to cell dimensions).
I've created some variables. I've created a string using those variables. I want to display the value of that string in a text box.
