The three text fields below (txt1, txt2, txt3) are in three different frames (1, 2, 3)... With my current code, text data from my xml file seems to be uploaded only in the textfield in the first frame. How do I load the other items from my xml file into the other textfields?
Code:
var myXML:XML = new XML;
var myXML:XML = new XML;
myXML.load("file.xml");
myXML.ignoreWhite = true;

View 1 RepliesI have managed to load an external text file in one place one the maintimeline. I would like to do the same thing on other frames. When I go to duplicate the same thing that I did on the first one I get a duplicate textReq request. Do I need to give the textReq a more specific name for each section? When I did this the movie wouldn't even recognize and of the code that was working before.I am attaching link so you can see sections I am talking aboutAlso you will notice that the swf file I loaded won't go away.

I'm creating a facebook application in flex. I'm actually working on the friends component that shows your friends who are using the application. now, each friend has a profile image.
I created the component using a s:List element.
In the Skin Class of the element i configured the requestedColumnCount to 3, which means it shows 3 friends. i added buttons to scroll left and right in the list.
Whenever I scroll to see a different friend, for a half of a second i see no image because the List component is loading the image in order to view it.
is there a way to make the list preload all the elements so i won't have this kind of problem ?
there seems to be no accepted method of playing multiple flv using buttons. My latest attempt has me putting multiple instances of the flvPlayback component in different frames and using buttons to navigate to those frames. It works but nothing anyone has posted anywhere will result in removing the flv when you go to a different frame and instance. This was simple in AS2. Load movie to a traget and each time you load a new movie the other one goes away. REALLY goes away.

View 6 RepliesI have an XML file with 1 parent node that has 1 child node inside it. The parent node is straight forward. It only has one attribute.
The child node has 3 attributes in it - Title, Photo, URL
I want my Flash file to have 3 containers - 2 Text list containers and 1 image holder. The first text container will load all of the Names of parent node. The second text container will load all of the Title of the child node.
The 3rd container will be a MC holder that will load the Photo and will link it to the URL specified in child node.
How do I script my Flash file?
Right now, my script is as follows and it successfully loads the name from parent node in one of the containers. I'm confused with other two!
Code:
function onXmlLoaded(success:Boolean) {
if (success) {
// make a handle to the root node in the xml

I've been trying to work on a web portal for updating a website I am creating. I originally duplicated a write-to-.txt php script and duplicated it for each of my pages, but for some reason it isn't working out very well as I assume they are fighting with each other. I am looking into creating what I assume is called an array, so that I can store 5 separate data pieces in one text file but I can't seem to find a tutorial that is close to this. the closest I can find is a guestbook tutorial but it is very out of date. I would like to be able to store multi-line text (so that paragraphs and breaks are preserved) from 5 different input boxes and then retrieve that data upon loading of the input boxes and in a different page which would be the actual content of the website.

I have a map with a list of items to the side. I want the list to work as buttons and highlight both the button and the particular image on the map... and when you click you link to a certain location.I also want to be able to MouseOver the map, have both the image on the map and the corresponding 'button' from the list highlight - but when you click, you go to a different location than if you would have clicked from the list.I have it set up - but something is conflicting. Here is how I have my code set:
Code:
BUTTON_ONE.onEnterFrame = function(){
if (this.hitTest(_root._xmouse, _root._ymouse, true)) {
this.nextFrame();[code].......
I have a problem when making flash applications with more than one frame that has symbols placed on it in that I can't declare all of the event listeners for the objects at the same time and I have found that even if I put them all on the first frame, add the event listeners, then click through to the next frame then the buttons won't work on that frame.
Does anyone have any idea how I could solve this? I did consider myself a fairly competent AS3 programmer until I realised I had no idea how to handle this sort of thing. Solved: I initialised the clips from my external class and then addChild'd and removeChild'd them as I needed to and placed their x and y on addChilding.
I have 260 images that I need to place on different frame. Instead of dragging them one by one the image on the stage, is there a way to drop all of them in one shot but each images is on a different frame?
View 3 RepliesI have entered the following code and both items do import, but i cant control the label of the second library item called "Cool"After doing some digging, i think i found out the class name of the second object was called "Cool" and the base class was "import flash.display.SimpleButton;" so it looked like i had to import that class at the top like i did! But still not working. and still no joy!I think i need to add in "public class Cool extends SimpleButton" so it inherits the SimpleButton class after the first public class and then create a new function called "public function Cool() " and then add the function body but when i go to do that it all goes wrong. Am i on the right track or am i missing a trick!!

I have a horizontally scrolling flying game involving a character and diferent types of food moving across the screen from right to left which the character has to collect ("hit"). I have the hitTestObject working for 2 different food movieclips with one item belonging to a healthyList, and the other to a junkList.
how to add more items (movieclips) to each of the lists, so that I have for example 6 items in the healthyList and 4 items in the junkList.
Below is the code in my Engine.as file. The red highlighted text is the code that creates the problem. I thought that I just needed to add this line in order to add another item to the "healthyList" of food types, but I obviously have it in the wrong place or have the wrong code completely.

I have a DisplayObject at the bottom, that's clickable and has a hover state, underneath a TextField. The big problem is, I need all MouseEvents to go to *both* of them, not just the TextField, not just the DisplayObject. Reason being is I have text that require tooltips to be attached to the mouse which are on top of those DisplayObjects underneath.
package
{
import flash.display.InteractiveObject;
import flash.display.Sprite;[code]....
You can see the affect of the above example here, http:[url].... Now, what I want to force happen is when you mouse over any of the text area, the text to pick up that event, as well as any other mouse event,as well as the DisplayObject underneath. To put it one way, I want to have my cake, and eat it too. I want the text to act the way it is in this example, but also to have it work as if I had mouseEnabled equal to false on the text.
how to multiple select the datagrid? i can't figure it out.

If that's my only option here... I'll begrudgingly go that way again, but I'd love to find a better solution and really do think there must be, insofar as I could just clone the event down the line to the next child at that point.

View 1 RepliesI have an ArrayCollection that is the dataProvider for a spark.components.List, which has allowMultipleSelection="true". There is a "Remove Selected Items" button which initiates the removal of all the selected items from the ArrayCollection upon being clicked.
I currently use the following method:
myList.selectedIndices.sort(ascendingSort);
// remove items, counting backwards
for (var i:uint = myList.selectedIndices.length; i > 0; i--) {
myArrayCollection.removeItemAt(myList.selectedIndices[i-1]);
}
where ascendingSort does what you expect ;). It works fine, and I know that it will always work.
However, I did take note that if I neglected the sort altogether, to my surprise the removal still worked. The reason for this turned out to be that, when the removeItemAt is called, the selectedIndices are correspondingly updated.
So my question is: Can one rely upon a removeItemAt call updating the values in the selectedIndices? or might that turn out to be different between runtimes and/or Flex SDK versions?
Basically they drag letters into a box to spell words.I have managed to get the letters to drag to the box but I would like the child to be able to reset all of the letters to their original positions.
View 5 RepliesI wish to move multiple items at the same time with tween.
I'm currently using a loop that calls for the same tween for each item.
I then want to do something when the tween has finished using the tween listener. The problem is that it is being called each time for every item that is being moved. I know I could do some variable that changes from true to flase if its been called once, but is there a better way of doing this?
I have a for loop wich passes 11 times:
private var currentItem:uint;
for(var i:uint = 0;i<10;i+){
addChild(arr[currentItem]);
[Code]....
So the problem is that the array only contains 6 items. So when it comes to the 6th item the currentItem resets and the next 4 items that are getting added are the 4 first from the array again. Now when i trace the items, the last 4 trace "null". how can i add items from the array multiple times without losing its properties etc?
I set my list to allow multiple selection. But when I load data in my list, I want to set a few items as selected. Normally you can set only one item selected by using list.selectedIndex. It only accepts int. How can I set multiple items as selected?
