ActionScript 2.0 :: Get An Xml Fed Into Flash That Creates Multiple Icons?
Dec 11, 2007
i got an xml fed into flash that creates multiple icons. When icon is clicked it will load an external swf into a container. I am having issues with this part:
Here is question
Why does this work in a test file:
myContainer._lockroot = true;
myContainer.loadMovie("movie.swf");
xml:
myContainer._lockroot = true;
myContainer.loadMovie(this.link);
this.link refers to location of swf file that is related to the icon pressed in xml.Everything works fine and dandy however here is the trouble, they all have different parameters and when loaded into another container thus in a swf they lose some of these. However in my test file when it is simple and straight just 2 lines of code (see above) everything works.

I load images into my .xfl project and use them amond movie clips - everything is ok at beginning. But after a some moment (which is absolutely undefined) Flash Professional CS5 starts duplicating all of them at saving and new copies names with "Copy 1", "Copy 2" and so one, or just with blank string. Because Flash duplicates them EACH saving, so after a several savings Flash refuse to save at all (shows "Too big project ..." error).

In the MX TabBar component, the iconField property allowed us to display different icons in each tab. In Spark, there does not seem to be an inherent way to add icons to the TabBar.Does anyone have an example of implementing icon support for Spark's TabBar?

I'm using the Niagara 4100 streaming appliance to encode a live multiple bitrate streams for an event. The problem is the Niagara encoder doesn't allow me to attach an event name to the stream url like - 'streamevent%i?adbe-live-event=liveevent', instead it only allows 'streamevent%i'. So in the end I get three seperate events with a stream for each event.
Like so:
Example:
/Events/streamevent1/MNMMNNMxxxxx.stream
/Events/streamevent2/MNMMNNMxxxxx.stream
/Events/streamevent3/MNMMNNMxxxxx.stream
AND
/Streams/streamevent1/files
/Streams/streamevent2/files
/Streams/streamevent3/files
Is it possible to make it work this way without using the 'adbe-live-event' parameter using the .f4m manifest file?

I have a question regarding createEmptyMovieClip in AS2. I have a flash file separated out into sections with labels and menu buttons which allow you to move you to the relevant frame/section (which contains the information/contents relevant to that section). This works fine. What I can't work out is that if I manually put a movieclip on the stage in my 'about section' and then add contents to it via AS2 then it only exists within the about us section. If I do it using createEmptyMovieClip within the actions for the about frame this works fine but it then always exists on every other frame of the project. I assume this is because it isn't actually creating it within this frame but I can't work out how to make it do this, even when i use this.createEmptyMovieClip it has exactly the same effect. I can obviously remove the movieclip completely each time a user moves to another frame that doesn't contain it but I don't want to do this as it contains a youtube video and leaving it means it doesn't have to be reloaded each time they come back.
I would be massively grateful if anyone could shed any light on this for me as I know i'm not getting how to place it correctly but i'm not sure how I should be doing it?

I was working on some blitting code today and after profiling it found that I was creating 1000s of new rectangles. I was shocked because I only had 1 or 2 different new Rectangle() calls or I was using the .rect property of BitmapData.
I started commenting out huge swathes of code until I was left with this code in my sprite class:
canvas.bitmapData.copyPixels(_bitmapData, _bitmapData.rect, destination, null, null, true);
I cached the result of _bitmapData.rect at object creation and my thousand of new rectangle calls were suddenly gone from the profiler.
Why the heck would BitmapData.rect create a new rectangle? Is there a way to check the core libraries or something and confirm this is true?

. As far as I could see in the reference manuals, the beginFill() method of the flash.display.Graphics class ends any previous incomplete (i.e., not ending back at the start point) fills by automatically drawing a line to the latest MoveTo() location.But, it seems it also ends any previous incomplete drawing even without fills, by drawing that final line.
But that's ok. The weird part is, even when I draw just one line and begin a fill immediately after that, I guess it tries to complete that line by drawing one more line back to the starting point and the messes up the display with the fill color in the following beginFill() call.
public class MyContainer extends Container
{
public function MyContainer()
{
[code]....
The output is as in the attachment.The first part creates a weird fill along the side of the line till the end of the container object.I even tried a endFill() at line 4, but same result. The only way to prevent this is to explicitly moving to some point as in line 11.

I'm working on an Adobe Air Desktop App ATM. My question is how to get the icon for a given file extension, but without actually loading up a file of such type.
I had the idea to just create a blank file for the extension and then delete it once i have the bitmap for its icon, but that seemed like too much trouble and kinda inefficient.
So for example i want to get the icon associated with a .txt file, or .html file. Is their any way of doing such without having to directly reference and existing file , or create a temporary one as mentioned above?

Situation: Got a flash object with an icon bar (div with pngs) on top of it. Works on all browsers except Firefox 3.6 on Ubuntu 8. Example: http://ListAndPlay.com
Problem: Icons suddenly disappear after the flash is being loaded. See this screenshot: http:[url]...What I've tried: Setting z-index, recoding the JQuery behind it, nothing works.

when I do linkage on a symbol and export it for AS3. Then I edit the symbol, for instance go in and modify anything inside, a shape, etc... the next time I try to publish flash, i get an error multiple constructor definitions found. constructor may not be defined in <Script/> code.I think may be it's because flash does not remember to delete the previous export and creates another one. The only way to resolve this, is to delete the entire symbol and re-create it.

Background: I am trying to create a website that is easily updateable by a non-html savy user. I figure I can load the content of my flash page from a notepad file within the same directory.I would prefer to not make the editor use a FTP program, so I figure the best method is a webpage where the person can log in and type the updated text and have it create a new notepad file and overwrite the old one. I am not sure if this is technically flash or simply a html question, but does anyone know how to go about doing this

I've setup an FLVPlayback 2.5 component with no skin. Then I've added all the UI components and assigned them to the FLVPlayback instance. I'm using a PlayPauseButton, a SeekBar, a MuteButton, a VolumeBar and a FullScreenButton. All of the components had their graphics customized. Extra care was taken not to rename or delete any movieclips.
If I try the custom components by publishing the movie, everything works fine.The problem arises when I dynamically load this SWF into another one. The parent SWF loads the playback controls and instantiates everything and starts the video playerback.
What doesn't work is the SeekBar's and VolumeBar's Handle. It just doesn't appear. If I put a trace() in those MovieClips, they never appear on the console, as if they are never created.

Anyone successfully added an icon to their tabs in <s:TabbedMobileApplication> ? I've tried just using something like:
<s:ViewNavigator firstView="views.appmobile_HOME" width="100%" height="100%" icon="@Embed(source='../assets/home_icon.png')"/>
I've also tried in <fx:Script> something like:
[Code]...
Neither of these methods worked, and to be safe i used the same code to embed an image on the screen and it works!. I just can't seem to get the icons to appear in the tabs also note - I was doing all of this in my main mxml file, just incase you're familiar with the Flex Burrito "Mobile application" file structure. And another thing is that I don't get any errors when trying these methods. It lets me compile and test it.

I am not new to html or flash but, some what new to XML. I created a carousel based off the tutorials and it works great on my computer but, when I create an html file and attach the .swf file the flash file loads but, the icon images or anything from the .xml file doesn't appear.This is what I use to load my .swf file :
<div id="spacer">
<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" [code].....
Do I have to put a special script in the html document for it to be able to see the xml file?

I have got three screenshots below of Flash-based audio players on various websites that draw a waveform of the clip it is going to play and moves along while it is playing and also allowing the user to click on a point on the audio file and it jumps to that point.I have very little Flash knowledge but is this easy to achieve? I would like to just show the Flash file an mp3 and it draws the waveform. I understand this could be quite intensive on CPU so would there be a way of caching the waveform data so it doesn't redraw each time the file is loaded?

I have an existing Flash app that has a layer containing a square separated into 4 quadrants. A set of icons is provided to the user and he/she is asked to drag each icon into one of the quadrants. Does Flash/AS3 provide a way to create a grid (not necessarily DataGrid) that overlays the existing image? If so, how do I setup AS3 syntax to save the quadrant in which an icon is placed?

I'm trying to implement this for an instance of ComboBox specifically, which uses a List to display the dropdown menu full of items. Lists can have icons associated with them, as described in the documentation:
var comboBox = addChild(new ComboBox());
comboBox.dataProvider = new DataProvider([{label:'item1',iconClass:IconClass1},{label:'item2',iconClass:IconClass2}]);
comboBox.dropdown.iconField = 'iconClass';
... assuming IconClass1 and IconClass2 are valid classnames of symbols in our library, this code works perfectly.
Here's my question - the contents of this ComboBox will be XML-driven, populated dynamically, and I'd really rather include that icon reference as a filename instead of a classname, so that when the whole thing is implemented, the icon can be changed in the XML without opening Flash and adding a new symbol to the library. Clients aren't generally good at that sort of thing.
Ideally, I'd like to be able to find a way to reference the container for the instance of that icon class - the ComboBox.dropdown is obviously keeping a reference to each list item somewhere, and if I can find it, I can load the icon images dynamically, then addChild them to the icon instance.

Im working on a project that has a main swf file associated with the document class. It loads XML that provides the text content for the project, then it loads a swf that contains a font in its library, then it loads the first of several content module swfs. When the font swf has inited, I'm registering its library font with Font.registerFont(), and using it in a TextFormat object. After everything is done, I can add code to the document class to create a text field on the stage of the main swf and format it successfully with the TextFormat object, but when I try to do the same thing inside the loaded content module swf, the text doesn't show up there at all.

When I test a flash file by hitting "ctrl+Enter" it creates a .swf in same directory as my .fla. does the resulting .swf file actually use the selected publish settings of my .fla file? Or when creating an .swf by "ctrl+enter" does it only use a "default" setting?

normally the mouse pointer is the arrow.When it's over something with an on(press) event or some such, it turns into a "pointing finger."
Is there any way to force it to change to some other icon?Specifically, I have a draggable movieclip that I'd like to control with a "grabbing hand" pointer, but Flash insists on making it a "pointing finger,"

I have some code that does what I need it to do, but I need a way to differentiate between the mc's it creates.Here is the code:
_________________________________________________
TL = this;
str1 = ["strandA","strandT","strandC","strandG"];[code]....
It generates mc's randomly.So for instance, there might be 3 "strandT" mc's on the stage at the same time.How could I tell them apart? If, for example,I wanted to say, make the first "strandT" disappear, but not the second and third.
