I'm having some problems getting the nodes to display the animation properly, each textField should be doing the animation effect. I'm not to savvy with xml, so i'm not sure If I have my xml structured properly or not. [URL]
View 14 RepliesI have been looking for a reference for this all over Google and even through the Adobe Forums but I can't find anything.I'm using Flash CS4, AS2. I'm calling an XML document to populate 2 text areas (textArea). In one textArea I need to display the firstChild (or ROOT node) and three childNodes after that. In the other textArea, I need to display the fourth childNode only.I am good to go for the second textArea, the one that only shows the fourth childNode. What I cannot figure out is how to hide that fourth childNode from my other textArea that calls for the same XML file. My code is written below, actionscript and XML.My textArea boxes are named "myText" and "myText2". "myText2" is the one that is working properly. I need to show only the <title> <description> and <price> tags in the "myText" box, not the <link> tag.

How do I get a Flex tree to display only specific XML nodes?
A sample of the XML data is below. Only the Grouper and Product elements should be displayed as branch and leaf nodes respectively; the Name elements should not be displayed. I can't use XSL or e4x to modify the XML as the Name elements' text is used as the label for the Grouper and Product tree nodes. Also, I cannot move the Name element to be an attribute as it needs to include a CDATA section.
It looks like using a custom TreeDataDescriptor is the way forward but I cannot find any examples of using one with XML.
<Grouper Type="ProductHeading" Id="" icon="drugIcon">
<Name>ASPAV</Name>
<Product Id="1002081" icon="genericIcon">

I am trying to design a pop up card in flash but it's a tough one to work out. I have a flat illustration which my client wants to appear as if it is on a pop up card, but I'm having trouble trying to animate this. Everything I try looks a bit flat, and trying to get the perspective right is a killer.
View 1 Repliescreated a new layer with one keyframe in frame 1, which spans the whole animation. In this layer I entered the ActionScript in REFERENCE 1. It works fine in several browsers, including IE8, FF3.6, and Chrome, and works for the customer. Then....
Their webmaster emailed back saying that he "did not see any links in the new banner." I'm not sure what this means, and if he actually tested the code.They sent me an example from a previous developer, which is REFERENCE 2.I compared it to what I published--which was generated by the CS4 "Publish" option. This is REFERENCE 3.Did I do something wrong? Everything works in all my tests, and they work for the customer.
It looks like they're missing a lot of information from the header. It is much smaller than the header that CS4 generates. They also have a link under the <!--url's used in the movie--> comment. Could this affect the performance? To my knowledge, this is obsolete. Perhaps they used an older version of Flash?
REFERENCE 1: ACTIONSCRIPT TO MAKE BANNER A LINK.
stage.addEventListener( MouseEvent.CLICK, function(evt:MouseEvent):void { var url:String = "http://www.URL.com/"; var window:String = "_blank"; var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest(url); try { navigateToURL(request,window); } catch (e:Error) { trace("Page unavailable. Please refresh this page to try again."); } } );

View 14 RepliesI have a checkbox that does not render as a checkbox and would be displayed as something similar to a button. However, it behaves like a checkbox where I can select it and the handler works with the firing event. Here is my checkbox. I also tried it outside the or , but it has the same behavior. There is no CSS related to checkbox or the part that I am working on. I am using Flex 4.5 though.
1- Has anybody encounter such a problem?
2- Is there any way to enforce the layout inside a container and item renderer?

how to display the message properly, and I am not sure if it is my for loop that is running into problems or the way I set up my message. Here is the code:

View 2 RepliesI recently created a visual quiz app which asks a question and then gives 4 image answers.
The problem that I'm having is that the images don't shrink the image into their quadrants, but rather, zooms in on the top left corner of the image.
Can anyone tell me what I have to change in the following code to make the images display at a set width (so that they fit in the quadrants proportionally).
Here is what the SWF looks like now. As you can see the images become distorted because they are being stretched. What should happen is that the images be displayed at a fixed width and variable height. [URL]

I have a main movie that contains some combo boxes. Some of them may be disabled.By pressing a button I load another movie using loadMovie. The loaded movie also contains combo boxes.When the button is pressed, the clip that shows the combo boxes is removed from the stage and the loaded movie is displayed. By pressing another button, the loaded movie is unloaded and the clip with the combo boxes is displayed again.Well, once the other movie has been loaded, when I go back to the clip with combo boxes, the disabled combo boxes have a small gray button covering the black down arrow.I have determined that so long as the loaded movie contains combo box in the library, the problem occurrs, even if there is no actual instance of it.The combo boxes that are not disabled are not affected. The combo boxes are disabled by setting "cb_name.enabled=false".If the combo box is enabled, it displays correctly, but if disabled again, it goes wrong again.My project is targeting Flash 8, so it uses AS2.I'm using Flash CS4.
View 5 RepliesI develop a piece of code that brings me to an xml, all Nodes i use this code:

What I need is for each of the nodes highlighted in green to return the child Nodes. Example: when I move the mouse over the menu Indoor lighting, the results should be: Indoorlighting | LED 10W> 3W LED> LED 6W
For those unfamiliar with tree structures, tree structures are usually dynamic lists where every node has a pointer to two other nodes. They are arranged so it makes for faster searching and stuff and are very useful in programming languages that offer direct access to heap memory. Although I don't know if there would be benefits of making tree structures in AS would be of any help but I decided to have a go at it anyway. Since there are no pointers in flash I tried to just replace pointers to nodes with nodes themselves. Such things usually work in java I think because the language just automatically makes pointers for variables.

I haven't used Flash in quite a while and wanted to make an animation to display quite a few photos. As i'm out of practice, linking videos kind of skipped my mind and therefore my first file which has lots of images in has become quite heavy and slow to run.My problem is... Is there a quick and easy way i can directly switch one part of an animation with another, keeping all the tweens and actions that are on it? (EG I want to switch out images for the same images saved as smaller files)
Or, is there a way i can scale down the movie in size to make it run smoother? I am going to have quite a lot of photos in a series of linked videos, but as i forgot about it, my first video has too much content and is too big in file size. It can be quite big as it's only for use on my mac (not online) but i still need it smaller as it won't run smoothly.
today i wrote my first "if" "else" conditional statement and it worked,I have a movieclip nested four levels deep inside other movieclips.It consists of some basic buttons and some artwork indicating what page your on. But i dont want this (i'll call it "navMovieClip")to be visible at all times because its an eye sore. I only want this movieclip to be visible when the mouse moves. Once the mouse moves, the movieclip will fade in, once the mouse stops moving, the movieclip will fade out, UNLESS they stop with the mouse OVER the "navMovieClip".
View 11 RepliesI have a 13 frame animation that I am loading in a hidden <div>. Does anyone know how I can trigger it to start playing when the div is made visible and then hide the div when its finished playing? Currently it loops in the background, which is no good as I want to use it as a page transition. Play once, hide, new page shown.
View 1 RepliesI'm currently dealing with a very annoying problem, for which I can't find any solution, because - as I think - it does not result from a AS coding mistake but more or less has to do with the rendering of the swf.I am generating a seamless tileable stripe out of a few symbols. Then I am creating an endless animation that scrolls that stripe up. The scrolling is implemented as follows: I'm creating a second BitmapData of 500pxl height, that with every frame scrolls all its pixels 10 pixels downwards and then copies the 10 "missing" pixels at the top from the appropriate position of the prepared seamless tileable stripe.
During the animation there seems to be (at least on less performant systems) some kind of flickering (stripes tthat look like the animation wouldn't use a seamless tileable stripe - ALTHOUGH IT DEFINITLY DOES!!!)...The only guess I have - that it could result from a unsynchronized rendering of the swf..To the right you see a section of the prepared seamless tileable stripe from which these 10 pxl sections are copied.
I'm using swfobject to dynamically load a flash object into a div, and I'm wondering if there's an easy way to display a loading animation until the flash object is ready for display? In this case, I'm loading an embedded Issuu object, and you can see an example of Issuu loading via swfobject here. Depending on your connection speed, there is typically just a blank white space while the flash object loads, and it'd be great to indicate progress with a loading animation if possible.

View 2 RepliesI have a question regarding preloaders.I am wondering if someone could help me figure out how to display an animation based on how much data has downloaded.For example.I have a preloader, it gets to 10% or xxx bytes loaded, I want a movie clip to play (or whatever, sparks to fly, etc.), then at 20% or zzz bytes, another movie clip plays (or again, something else happens).So basically I want the movie to react to how much of it has been downloaded.A real world example of this that I can find quick is.url...(ya ya, everyone uses this as their example).The loader seems to animate based on how much of the movie has actually loaded.play an animation, movie clip, etc based on how many bytes/percent, has loaded.
View 4 RepliesI have a preloader that works fine when I test i with flash. I publish it and then go to View and Simulate Download. Everything works fine.
But when I upload it to my server it works fine util I hit the reload button, all it does is do the short intro animation to display the preloader and just sits there.
I have attatched the preloader class wich is pretty straight forward.

View 4 RepliesThis one is tough to diagnose. I built an animated jigsaw app that pulls in a dynamic .swf that can be viewed here: [URL] It works perfect in Chrome. Works in FF 3.5.5 until I start reloading. Doesn't even work in IE7. Could be a embed problem in the HTML. Could be something I did in flash. [I can get more into the methods I used] [for those that only see it working or don't see it working] There should be an orange animation of a morphing shape cutout into jigsaw shaped pieces and a start button. When it doesn't load, the animation, nor start button display. And the menu is slightly messed up.
