ActionScript 2.0 :: Load Xml Data Depending On Instance Name?
Nov 7, 2011
I have a MC which when user presses a button slides onto the screen. Within this MC is a number of buttons, with names like 'btn1', 'btn2' etc.I have already searched around and found a tutorial which shows me how to load images from an XML file.What I'd like to do is for each button in the MC, find the corresponding XML element and then load those images, then move onto the next button, until they are all done.So I'd imagine the XML would be something like:
Code:
<images>
<btn1>
[code].....

I want to beable to automatically load an external txt file into my flash movie according to what date the computer thats viewing is running.
Heres what I mean. If the computer that is viewing my swf file has the date Friday 1 Jan 2004 then txt file "1" would load and show. If the day was 5 Jan then txt file "5" would load and show.
I have hunted around for a tutorial for this but havint been able to find one. At the moment I am using simular script used in the display date & time tutorial on this site, if that helps.

I have a datagrid in my Flash app whose data keeps updating quite frequently.On every update, I need to change the cell color of only those cells whose data has changed.That too, if the updated value is less than the older value then the cell color should change to RED else, GREEN.I have tried using labelFunction, cellrenderer, etc. But to no avail.By no means, I am able to access the present data in the cells to compare it with the new data.

im starting to get the hang of 3.0 now.. but i have a little problem loading different swf files related to witch button i click..
everything works just fine. when clicking on a button the movie plays and its listening for the end of each video playing.. but i cant get it to load different swfs depending on witch button is clicked. is it possible to do this using the same loader as i do now?
heres my code:
var compact:String = "axesse_mc.swf";var compactreq:URLRequest = new URLRequest("axesse_mc.swf");
var loader:Loader = new Loader();loader.load(compactreq);

I've written a class that iterates through all the frames of a movie clip and draws each one to a different bitmap. When I'm done, I should be able to iterate through the bitmaps and play them like a flipbook animation.If I draw all the clips to the same size bitmapdata, then everything looks great. But this is wasteful because now a lot of the bitmapdata's are bigger than they need to be (takes up more memory), and also causes problems because the hit tests don't look right.
So next I try to crop all the bitmapdata to be the smallest possible sizes. However, when I do this, there are subtle differences in the way the images look - the edges might look slightly darker in one frame than in another. When I line up all the images and play them back to back, it no longer looks the same way it originally did.I have no idea why the images look different, and have no idea how to work around this problem, I have tried many different approaches. I have tried using BitmapData.draw(), BitmapData:copyPixels(), and manually using BitmapData:SetPixel(), and all end up with the same result

I have a small gallery that loads thumbnails and the links they represent from an xml file. When I test it gallery on my computer everything works fine. However, when I simulate a download or when I upload to an actual site things start going wrong.[URL]I modified what i needed too and reused the rest. Everything works fine except for that the load order of the thumbnails is reversed. I haven't really changed any part of the code that would cause this, or at least I don't think I have.
The real problem, however, is that when i simulate a downloaded version or when upload them to my test site, the position of the thumbnails are swapped. A thumbnail i expected to load in a certain place and order has now taken the place of another one. When clicking a thumbnail it displays the picture of the thumbnail that should actually have been there, so the links still load in the correct order.When i change the simulated bandwidth while testing the movie, the position alter. At one bandwidth they show up in a certain order and when then trying out another bandwidth the order changes.
The XML load function:
Code:
function loadXML(loaded) {
if (loaded) {
var xnRootNode:XMLNode = this;
//trace( xnRootNode );

Is there a way for flash to detect a user's bandwidth, and depending the size of bandwidth, stop loading, or continue with the load? Now that I'm thinking about it, this would probably be a javascript detection script and if the bandwidth is high, load .swf, if not load a .jpg?

We have implemented a Flash photo slideshow on our site and it works just fine for most of our users. Whenever the xml.load(success) returns false I have the Flash email me a debug report. For the life of me I can not find a common thread between all of these people having problems with the Flash. I don't think it's a cross-domain issue because it works for most people, and I have the crossdomain.xml files where they should be.

I have an Access Database (doesn't need to be Access, I can phpAdmin or mysql, whatever will work) that has a list of names. I want the user to open a Flash form and have the names load up into seperate input boxes for each name. The user can then change the names, move them, whatever, and then save the record. I want it to just overwrite the record. I donlt want create a new record. I cannot, for the life of me, figure this out. I have tried to find some tutorials but nothing makes sense. Is ASP a good way to go? I have been struggling with this for a week now.

I currently have a Flash app that gets populated by parsing data from an external XML file. However, I need to get the XML data into a (JSP) session and can't neccesarily have an external XML file--any suggestions? Can I put the XML string into a hidden input field in a form on the HTML? Can Flash communicate with that HTML? Or are one of the below methods recommended:
* FlashVars
* Flash Remoting
* Web services
* JavaScript - call JS function
* fscommand
* ExternalInterface

And if this is possible is it more reliable then using XML?

I am trying make a button that plays a movieclip whose instance name is in an array.
for example my array (named "current") consists of an movieclip instance name:
ActionScript Code:
current = ["instanceName"]
Using the trace command, I know that the array definitely contains the name.
Now, I want to insert that instance name from the array into a gotoAndPlay command on a button like this:
ActionScript Code:
(((instanceName from Array here))).gotoAndPlay("2");

I have 6 movieclips on the stage, each with a unique instance name. I just want to put them in order determined from an external xml file.I can get the name and order of each instance name evident from a trace, but I can't use that xml variable name to position the x on the stage.Seems simple, but it won't let me use the variable as an instance name:
//begin AS3
var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
var xml:XML = new XML();

Does creating a new instance of an Object that uses an identical name to an older instance, delete the previous instance? Or should the original instance be deleted first? The code uses a ridiculous amount of XML vars. Isn't it less memory intensive to parse the XML and save the properties to an Object, and then delete the XML Object, rather than keep the XML Object around and reference it's child nodes directly? Is it better form to break up a huge XML file (>600lines/3200vars) into smaller chunks?

I have a class LoadXML which loads and extracts data from an XML file. I am using this data for my Main class by creating a new LoadXML class. I now want to use this data for my other classes but without having to create another new instance of LoadXML. Since global variables dont exist in A3, I tried creating get methods in LoadXML and then returning these values into variables in the desired classes.[code]
