Where can i get the weather, in realtime (let's say each 10 minutes), of a specific place like Newyork, Dubai etc and display it in flash ?. I want to incorporate the information into the design that I have made.

i'm trying to create a simple paint visualizer in flash. need to display two walls for example and a vertical color palette for the user to choose from. an example would be the following link [URL] (it's very advanced compared to what i need but i couldnt' find a simpler one on the web).
View 3 RepliesI have something in mind like this: [URL] so each time, when the mouse is over each state, different information should show up in the right side box with different information. How should I implement this? should I draw the right side information box as picture, and then write a script to ask information to display when mouse is on certain state, is this a movie clip?

I`m looking for tutorials or open source examples, for display weather in my application. As I search I found some Flex (MXML) applications but I want something more clear and easy to go.
View 1 RepliesI was wondering if it is possible to get the accurate weather (temperature, cloudy/sunny/rainy/...) from an existing server somewhere into a flash mx file?For those who have windows vista already: there's a weather gadget that shows the temperature and a graphical representation of the sky outside, at that particular location, at that particular time (so very accurate).
First problem: where can I find a server who provides me of this data?
Second problem: where to start with the actionscript?
I'm trying componentize one of the pieces of UI in an AIR application that I'm developing in Flex. In this example, I want to display file information on a single line (which has an icon, some text/link and the size).
My code looks like this (component is called FileDisplay):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Canvas xmlns:mx="[URL]"><mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
public function set iconType(source:String):void {
this.ficon.source = source;
[Code] .....
However, when I do this, I get an error: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. This is because the child components of the FileDisplay are null (or at least they show up that way in the debugger). Am I supposed to be waiting for events indicating the child components were created? For now I can manually do everything in ActionScript in my main app (create a Canvas and add children to it) but how to separate the code more cleanly.
I am trying to make a flash widget using yahoo weather API. Since it uses RSS I thought it was simples but I am stuck. I just don't know how to extract info inside this xml line:
<yweather:units temperature="C" distance="km" pressure="mb" speed="kph"/>
My complete code is:
var location_id:String='POXX0022';
var grades:String='c';
var url:String="[URL]"+location_id+"&u="+grades;
var xmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
var xmlData:XML = new XML();

I'm wondering wether there's a Javascript way to detect wether a user has any sort of flash blocking plugin installed so i can accommodate these users properly. For example, I use 'click to flash', but sites that use SiFR to render text are littered with "click to flash" buttons, which is getting very annoying. I don't use SiFR in my designs for this reason. But if I could spot wether there's a flash blocking plugin installed, I would simply not call the SiFR function.
View 1 RepliesI have very simple code for a class: package {import flash.text.TextField; import flash.display.Sprite; public class Greeter extends Sprite { public function Greeter(){var txtHello:TextField = new TextField(); txtHello.text = "Hello World"; trace("hi"); addChild(txtHello);}}}
The above file is saved as Greeter.as in say folder C: est I then create a Fla file named test_display.fla (saved in C: est) and its contents are: import Greeter;var tt:Greeter = new Greeter(); Now the Output window shows hi due to the trace statement but the addChild method should show World in the Flash movie but it does not. The only way to get Hello World to the Flash Movie is to change the test_display.fla to:
import Greeter;var tt:Greeter = new Greeter(); addChild(tt);
In other words I have to use the addChild method twice ( once in Greeter.as and once in test_display.fla ) to get Hello World to display in the Flash movie. Does anyone know why this is so?
I am just looking for a tutorial for a simple loader bar. My flash site is quite large and as a result, a simple loading screen leads people with slower connections to believe that maybe it has crashed during load and don't wait till it's finished. A load bar would obviously show that the site is still downloading.
View 1 Repliescreate a button, create a movie clip with two frames.
place a button instance in frame 2.
place a mc instance on the stage.
create another instance of the button to change the movie clip instance to frame two.
the button in the movie clip is pressed and executes a function.
here's the code
Code:
// create the button to show the button!
_root.button_instance_2.onPress = function() {
buttonClick1();
[Code].....
if, however, i use the same code on a movie clip that has only one frame it will work fine. do i need to tell the function to target the button instance any more specifically than that?
I have some scrolling content (info). I've also made my own scroll bar.I want the scrollBar dragger to be positioned in relation to the info._y as the user scrolls info.I have created two vars: one that worsk out where info._y is as a percentage and the other that works out where the scroll._y dragger should be as a percentage...
Actionscript Code:
var scrollBarPercent = Math.round(scrollBar.dragger._y / [code]........
also onMouseWheel working too.I need a small bit of code that takes the % of info._y and moves the scrollBar dragger to the same % but in relation to the Stage.height...so if projectGalleryPercent = 50%, make dragger._y 50% of Stage.height using scrollBarPercent.
translate this piece of code to AS2? Don't ask why

what i want to do is display a set of items by 10, so clicking next_btn shows the next 10 items and also adds 10 items to the start_count var so that the next set starts at the first count (ie 21,31, 41..). counting seems to work fine even if the limit_count var is 54, which shows only 51,52,53,54.
The problem is the backward counting, the operation looks normal but the logic is wrong, when i click the prev_btn the set is repeated (ex. click next appears 1-10, click next again shows 21-30, click prev shows 21-30).I've attached the code below so that you can see what i mean. I think my logic seems wrong somewhere along the code.
Code:
var limit_count = 54;
var start_count = 1;
var end_count = 0;[code].......
I'm attempting to take a process that previously ran multiple remote object calls in parallel and make them run in serial.I know it's a hackish approach (bandaid!), but so far my approach has been to take this for-loop that started each parallel request:[code]Where _pause_queue is a private global boolean for the class. In the fault-handler and response-handler functions, it is set back to false, so that the infinite where-loop is released and the for loop will continue.This is functional, but the UI only updates after the while-loop ends, which causes the negative side effect that it looks like the application is hung while waiting for a response.
Is there something I can put inside the while loop to allow flash to update the display? In VB (ugh!) I would use DoEvents, but I don't know of an equivalent for Actionscript.Alternately, is there a way to add a simple queueing system short of completely rewriting the application? This is legacy code and I'm on a tight deadline so I'd like to modify it as little as possible. (Otherwise I would rewrite it from the ground up and use Swiz to get the Event Chaining.)
I am trying to read a XML file and display its content in a simple list component or at the console. The problem is that the event listener is triggered in an infinite loop.
The code:
var myXML:XML;
var myLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
myLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, processXML);
