I've just started playing with arrays in MX, part of my project needs to have information from an array loaded into a dynamic text box one by one, ie
Click the button, text[0] displays, click again, text[1] displays, etc.
So all I have to do is grab the first index and add one each click right?
I am adding movieClips to the stage. I then am able to change the index of each movieClip, by moving some mc's behind or in front of one another. Prior to uploading these mc's to my database, I get their index locations. Let's just pretend we are working with 3 mc's (even though it could be unlimited). I grab the index of these mc's, and I get (35, 2, 38). I then send this information to the database. Looking at those numbers, we can tell there are a ton of objects on the stage. Information is sent to DB, and now I open up a new FLA, ready to get the information.
Now I want to get this information, and add the mc's to a container, in the same exact order they were in before. Because I am adding them to a fresh container, and there are no other objects within the container, these will obviously be out of bounds (except for the one mc at index "2"). I understand they are out of bounds because unlike when I sent them to the DB, there were tons of objects on the stage. This time, there is only the container, and the 3 mc's, so their old index of (35, 2, 38) won't work.

I have 3 objects (mask_cat, mask_dog, mask_sea_monster)on the stage and I want the user to be able to move them independently with the ol' click and drag.[code]So far only the, sea_ monster moves. The odd thing is the sea_monster moves when I click on the dog or the cat also, but not if I click anywhere else.

I am loading a set of thumbnail images from an array [hard coded] into a movieclip symbol on the stage. I have two arrays with the thumbnail and the full size image having the same index number. In many examples, "event.currentTarget.contentLoaderInfo.url" returns the full path to the image selected. i just want the index number. Adobe does not make is easy to figure out what other properties are available to me from the contentLoaderInfo. Is 'SelectedIndex' or something like that available? Where does an inspiring AS programmer find the contentLoaderInfo properties and or methods available? Is url the only thing that us usable here?
var thumbnails:Array = ["tn_2010OpenHouse_00.jpg","tn_2010OpenHouse_01.jpg"];
var images:Array = ["2010OpenHouse_00.jpg","2010OpenHouse_01.jpg"];
var thumbX:Number = 10;
var thumbY:Number = 623;
var loader:Loader = new Loader();
loader.load(new URLRequest("images/" + images[0]));
addChild(loader);
loadThumbs();

Output:
Index= -1
Index= -1

I have an index page with several buttons on. When the buttons are clicked, it takes the user to a different point in the timeline and loads the appropriate swf in the UILOader I have on stage.Everything was working fine, but it has suddenly decided to stop working. Now if you click a button on the index page, it loads the relevant swf just fine, but when you go back to the index page and click a different button, the UILoader will not show the corresponding swf and just appear blank, although I know its there as I can hear the sound of the swf playing! I'm not sure if its simply something blocking the swf, but I don't even know what it is! I'm using addChild to add little panels to the screen when a button is pressed, but they are hardly big enough to cover the whole of the UILoader!
View 1 RepliesSo, for sending to individual streams we have to reference the connected netStream we want to send to in some way like this:
sendStream.peerStreams[0].send("MyFunction",param1,param2);
and I have to determine which peer I'm sending to by their ID such as "peerID1234"
I know that you can check the peerID of the stream by doing:
sendStream.peerStreams[0]["farID"]
how can I make my send stream function know to use the array index where the peerID is?
so basically it could be like:
sendStream.peerStreams[where peerStreams[]["farID"] == peerID].send("MyFunction",param1,param2);
I think it would be simplest to explain it like this:

For a site I'm developing with a user login that uses cookies to store the session ID, a separate section of it uses Flash to provide content and such. Is there some way it can access the cookies that were set the by login? The name of the cookie will not the be same every time, as it is randomly generated, as well as its value. I then need to send the name and value of the cookie back to a page on the server to do additional stuff. Anyone know how to do this? Note that I didn't write the Flash interface, an the person who did doesn't know how to do this.

I have some buttons named bt1, bt2, bt3 etc
They have a common function for when each is clicked called buttonclicked.
Within the function buttonclicked, I'd like to grab the number off the end of each button name so that I can compare the number to a global variable I have called global.data.clicker
so...
if (number at end of event.target.name == global.data.clicker) {take action...
Is it possible, and if so, what code do I need to put in the first part of the if statement to make it work?
How to create a script of some kind to grab a still picture from a live stream and save it as a JPG file?
In this way a cron job can tricker the script and thereby grab a picture fx every 10'th minute and the picture can be shown on a website so people that are not attending can have a look into what is happening in the live stream.
I need to grab values from the querystring and inject them into a getURL(""); snippet that's in the on (release) {} for a button.So if the URL that contains the embedded swf is
[URL]
I'd like to get that otherdomain.com and inject it. Something like
var returnUrl = "";
// do magic querystring getting
getURL(returnUrl);
*Edit: I need to snag the querystring because I don't have access to the embed code. It's being rendered by a third party (Articulate) and loaded into a frame. I do have access to the code that renders the frame html, which is why I figured query string would be the best route, and one button that's used in the presentation.
Note, I live in C# land, not ActionScript land so I most likely butchered the syntax. I just need to get this button working as a one off and I'll probably never deal with it again.BTW, I've seen the abdulqabiz QueryString object that's floating around out there but it kind of seems like overkill, like there should be something baked into the framework for this. I also lack the knowledge of how to incorporate this into my little button on (release) {} event

View 1 RepliesI wanted to know if it is possible for AS2 to grab the base domain and set it as a variable. This would also need to work for any domain possible. For example for [url].. what ever the combination it would always return "yahoo". This would need to work with the domain the swf is being viewed on so the domain wont just be 1 domain.

View 10 RepliesI am trying to grab the attributes of a node, and can't target it.
Code:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<header>
<scoreboard url="simpleScoreboard.jsp"/>
<background>
<folder url="media/headers/" count="10" prefix="header_bg_" suffix=".jpg" override="false" startTime="10" />
[Code] .....
Will trace the url attribute of the first node but I can't find the correct targeting for the node I need. I've been using AS 3 to do all my XML stuff but I can't use AS 3 for this project unfortunately and I don't really get it with AS 2.
I've been trying to find a solution through books and online about how on earth to highlight just the in-between and edge areas of the object tweens, and either delete a certain amount of them like you can with classic tween, or be able to grab those little diamonds and move them along the timeline.
Of course this may be a stupid question since the new tween is all about the OBJECT, and the motion line that it creates on the stage with the "ticks" that are keyframes, may be what needs to be manipulated like the object itself instead of the timeline. I'm not sure.
At One point I had a whole lot of extra frames hanging off the edge of my one motion tween--(after I copied & pasted frames) --I highlighted them to remove any portion of it, but it removed all the rest of my keyframes as well.
Can anyone point me in the direction, or throw me some code on how to grab a certain number of characters, or words from a variable ??

View 1 RepliesI have a project that works quite beautifully right now. I have come to my next task. Creating swfs that are loaded into another swf. This newly loaded swf needs to grab some variables from the main swf's document class or global variables class that I have created. I have set the class path as such that it can access the classes as needed. I did not set a document class.
Structure of loaded swf:
core.swf -> loadedBackground.swf -> interactive.swf
1.) Classes are all located in a folder titled classes
2.) cores.swf is outside the classes folder and is linked to document class within the classes folder: BuildCourse.as
3.) swfs folder contains the loadedBackground.swf and interactive.swf
4.) How can interactive.swf grab variables from the main.swf after it is compiled?
i know this can be done through custom cursors.. i can write up a class to listen for mouse move/over and then show the hand symbol by hiding the original.. but is there any other way which avoids use or writing enter frame/mouse move type listeners...something like

mc.buttonMode=true;
mc.enablecustommousecursor=true;

Can you just confirm for me that the only way to change the cursor to a "Grab Hand" (ie an open hand rather than a pointy finger) is to make a custom cursor?
