the kirupa XML feed example, What i need now is to Strip URL, links out of this mess... (there are two links coming out as one)i would have to possible store it as an array, break it by "." then again by "http://" thus therefore getting individual linksright?

I've been playing with an xml feed to read some useful information from a site but I've run into a small problem.
The XML feed doesn't send me HTML content, it only sends text. So a node that should read [code]...
I have few ActionScript skills. But I have built a multimedia career by stealing chunks of AS2 code and reworking them to suit my purpose. I have searched long and hard here for a solution to my current problem. I have found code here that seems to address it, but I cannot make it work. I simply have some textAreas that I wish to validate. The user may input text that could include extra spaces, returns, and odd capitalization. It would be easiest for me to simply strip out the capitals, spaces and returns. I found some simple code that changed the caps to lowercase:[code]

I have been following through the "gallery" tutorials here on Kirupa, and finally got to the third version (the one with the auto-scrolling thumbnails along the bottom, which scroll left / right based on the mouse pointer position, and the keyboard Left / Right scrolling).
I need my thumbnails to scroll UP and DOWN instead of LEFT and RIGHT, and have been trying to modify the ActionScript that came with the downloadable .fla file for the tutorial, but without complete success yet. (The functionality of the whole thing is still intact except for the scrolling thumbnails.)
Here is the portion of the AS that addresses the thumbnail scroller, and I have highlighted in red the variables that I believe need to be swapped around for it to scroll vertically instead of horizontally. I have made the obvious changes such as :-
_width changed to _height
hit_left changed to hit_up
hit_right changed to hit_down
_x changed to _y
[Code].....
Again, this is the ORIGINAL ActionScript, not my modified version. Only the items highlighted in red have been changed in my modified version. Basically when I test the movie now, I get the last two thumbnails of the gallery transposed one over the other, at the point of the movie clip instance, and no scrolling at all. When I use the UP and DOWN keys, I do get to "manually" scroll through the big images, but no change in the thumbnail area.
What have I screwed up or overlooked? I have scanned and scanned and scanned the above section of the AS, and I can't see any other variables that ought to be meddled with.
I'm trying to help my girlfriend mock up a site for uni. I've been trying to get it so that when a certain button is pressed, it goes and plays from a certain frame number in a movie clip.In scene 1, there are 3 buttons and a movie clip. The movie clip has the tweens to the next strip in a comic. Initially strip 1 from the comic can be seen and when button 2 is pressed, it plays the tween in the movie clip and strip 2 can be seen. When button 1 is pressed, it should go back to strip 1.
Button 1 code:
Code:
on (release) {
if (movie1._currentframe == 10) {
movie1.gotoAndPlay(40);
}
}
I'd upload the .fla but it's too big. In the movieclip there are stop() actions to stop the movie from going to strip 3 if you only want strip 2 displayed.
I have been successful on striping certain components in flash and giving them a new skin, but now I need to strip and re-skin the list component. It uses the ui scroll bar and thats not a problem to re-skin but i need to change the background color and highlighted text of the list.
View 1 RepliesI'm struggling to strip out the word 'Section' from a text box that loads from xml.
for(i=0; i<xmlNode.childNodes[1].childNodes[0].childNodes.length; i++)
if(xmlNode.childNodes[1].childNodes[0].childNodes[i].nodeName == "sections")
sectNo = xmlNode.childNodes[1].childNodes[0].childNodes[i].firstChild;
section_txt.text += sectNo;
When the node 'sections' returns 'Section 12' how can I strip out the word 'Section' and only have '12' load into the section_txt box?

View 2 RepliesI wanted an animation to dispatch custom events as it cycled. It became apparent that not even trace() was running. After some searching, I found the following at Adobe:[URL].."If the SWF file contains any ActionScript code, Flex prints a warning during compilation and then strips out the ActionScript from the embed symbol. This means that you can only embed the symbol itself."
I also found a work-around by Grant Skinner at:[URL].. I can proceed, but I'm still wondering. Why does mxmlc strip ActionScript from Flash compiled resources when embedding their symbols into Flex apps using metatags?
how can I strip trace() messages from a flex and flash applications? I write flash and flex applications and i use a lot of trace messages for debugging, but when i product the actual swf i want it to be stripped from any trace messages.

View 1 RepliesBasically, I have a photo gallery, on a long horizontal strip. I want the user to navigate this strip by simply moving their mouse to the right to make it move right, and moving their mouse to the left to make it move left.
I know that there is a way to do this where you track the mouse whereever it is on the stage...but I'd only like it to be only active when it is over this particular strip.
Also, each thumbnail on this strip has a rollover effect. I would like to have that roll over effect stay active...

I have a photo scroller built with CS3 and actionscript. It uses XML to load images for the thumb-scroll portion. I'd like to know if there is a quick fix to make the picstrip seem to a carousel - in other words, the strip would just continue to scroll whether you moused left or right.
View 1 RepliesI know that I've seen a few threads about this, but I'm not finding what I'm looking for. I've got an AS2 flash site using XML to import the text, then parsing it. I have a function that gets the text, then applies styles (css) to it. I'm wondering if there is an easy way to strip the unintentional line breaks at the same time, within the same function? Here is my get text function:

I'm having some big issues with the scoping problems in my XMLConnect Class. I already found some things about the Delegate class online for setting the scope correctly, but my code still doesn't work the way it should Problem I need the XML data to be accesible in the public function Strip() because the user needs to put in some characters to strip from the strings in the xml file. Does someone known how to fix this scoping problems?

I have a menu once clicked it animates out a menu that holds a couple of links, but with my code I can't select the links.

i created a flash slideshow with pictures of events and link each picture with its own event (ie. each pictures has its own links to the website). I created the fade in and fade out effect using the class motion tween. With the link, I created a layer with a button that has alpha= 0 (so the user don't see it) and then I used code snippet to make another layer with the action script "click to go to url."
When the slideshow goes to the last picture I made it fade out and the first picture of the slideshow would show up and then the slideshow would replay itself (by default?). My goal is to make a continuous slideshow.
When I tested the swf file, the first time it runs, everything is right. The urls and the pictures are in correct order. However when the slideshow replays itself automatically, I notice that the links are incorrect. In the first play, when I click the picture of the event it would open the url of that event.However when the sldieshow replays, clicking the pictures would only open the url of the first event picture. When I click on the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, etc.pictures the browser opens only the link of the first picture of the slideshow.

I've got a PHP script that searches for links in a block of text and converts them to HTML values. The $message variable is then entered into my database using a simple INSERT. So far, so good. Then I have Flash parse the message using XML:
ActionScript Code:
function messStyling() {
messCSS = new TextField.StyleSheet();
var messCSSURL = "include/links.css";
[Code].....
The problem, however, is that my links don't work. The rollover works from the CSS styling, but the links don't actually go anywhere. When I rollover the links, the hand cursor doesn't appear, and clicking only serves to change the color back to the non-hover value.
I'm writing some code in Flash MX 2004 and everything works fine except for the last button (4DSystemsProducts).According to the coding if none of the drop down buttons work it should go to products.php, but for some reason it goes to 4DSystemsProducts.php. All of the other menus are coded the same way and work fine, if I take out that button it works fine,or if I take out button 7 and switch 4DSystems to button 7 everything works.Here is the code to clear up this explanation.
