I've a problem loading data from xml into a class of mine. I put the code:
Frame on Flash:
Code:
vlist = new VideoList();
var vxml = new XML();
vxml.ignoreWhite = true;
[Code]...
I have a class DataLoader.as:
ActionScript Code:
package {
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.net.*;
[Code]....
trace returns nothing...
when I write trace(myXML) in function onXMLLoaded after myXML = XML(loader.data), it's ok...

But I wanted to make mine cycle through each image every 2 or 3 seconds
I began with a class for a movie clip rollover function FigureRollOver. It works marvellously. Three things happen:
1) it loads XML from a file "mod1_fig1.xml" and uses another class, XMLMember, to retool the scoping of the XML so that I can get at it
2) an onload call inside of XMLMember calls the myOnLoad function and transfers the XML into an array.
3) so long as the array is finished building, rolling over a movie clip attaches a new movie clip with the rollover text in it.But I don't want all those functions in one because I need it to be more dynamic, starting with being able to load any old xml file instead of just "mod1_fig1.xml", plus it seems lik overbuilding to have all of that in one class, so I've separated out the loading of the XML and building of the array into its own class, FigureXMLLoader. FigureRollOver is then left to just attach the rollover with text in it, extracted from the array built by the new class.
Problem is, though the array builds inside FigureXMLLoader, I can't figure out how to make it available outside the class. I know that I'm constructing things in the wrong order, and that the array needs to be somehow built inside the class function to be available, but I can't figure out how to do that. A cruddy work-around is to put a function call at the end of the building of the array, which calls yet ANOTHER function on the main timeline of my .swf to put the array I've just built into a new variable.This works, but it's messy. It seems like I should be able to have one line of script in the .swf that generates an array on the main timeline (or just a public array) which I can then access from my FigureRollOver class:
var myRollOvers:Array = new FigureXMLLoader("mod1_fig1.xml");
Here is FigureXMLLoader (see comments in the code for more details) which obviously does not return an array as it is, because of all the working around I've had to do. Note the "testing" variable, which can be traced from the main timeline of the .swf, but I will get "not what I want" because of course the array hasn't been built yet, and never will be, inside of the declaration as it is. How do I get it in there so I can return an array?
How do you return data from a custom class, and only when something in the custom class has completed something. For example, let's say I have this code in the custom class[code]...
This, of course, doesn't work. I need the whatever.getLoadedObject() method to wait until the loading has finished inside the custom class then do whatever with the image loaded.
I want to load text into a dynamic text field (called 'about_tab') using a class depending on the language selected (by clicking on a flag icon) by the user.
I managed to get this to work when the ActionScript was written directly in the timeline, but am having problems with doing the same thing via a class.
This is my class file:
*******
package
{
import flash.display.SimpleButton;
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
[Code].....
When I run it, it returns my trace statements that the class ChangeLang and the function xmlLoaded are running, but no text appears in the dynamic text field (I should/want to see the word 'About'). I get this error message:
1120: Access of undefined property about_tab
I'm trying to make a game similar to bejeweled or diamond mine in flash. I found source code for a game someone made but it was pre function flash 4 craziness. It's not really helping at all because the person who built it had to hack around the limitations of flash 4.

I have a custom class created by a main document class, and I want the custom class to run a function in document class after some time.
How can I sent the instruction from custom class back to the document class?[code]...
I created a movieclip with a star. Then, I creates a document class and I named it as Main.as.
In that document class I wrote:
package
{
import flash.display.*;
public class Main extends MovieClip
[Code]....
I´m not posting here all the code, but you can easily see that I´m using x_origin and y_origin variables to keep the original position of the movie clip. I will use them to move the star back to the original position.
The problem is that instead of being 20 and 30 respectively, tracing them I see that they are both ZERO. So when I drop the star, instead of going to x=20,y=30 it moves back to x=0 and y=0. I´ve to get the star position relative to stage, but I can´t find anyway!
I am attempting to get data from an xml file load in flash. I followed a tutorial in a new fla and it seemed to work fine, I then tried to adapt it to my own needs which worked fine. But then when trying to implement this into my news section it doesn't seem to work. I am trying to make a news section, that displays the date and news article. This is in within a movie clip, I even tried putting it in the timeline of the scene but still nothing.
- I have 2 dynamic text boxes, date_txt and news_txt
- The xml file is named news.xml,
- both the fla and the xml are in the same folder
This is the actionscript I am using:
function loadXML(loaded) {
if (loaded) {
_root.thedate =

I found myself loading a new XML file every day and so decided to create a small class that will load the xml file and return it.The class is loading the file but when i try to return it to a new xml object in the document class it doesnt load it.I think that it's something to with the return being in a nested function but i tried a few ways and non seems to work.

I have a Flex application that can load modules as necessary. When the first module is loaded, it creates a class MyBackground(), which paints the background red. When I choose to load a second module (and unload the first) I again load a class MyBackground (from the second module). However, when I step into the constructor for MyBackground, it goes straight into the constructor for the UIComponentDescriptor:
[Code]...
Is this something to do with using the same application domain for each module that I load? Does Flex load in the class types into the parent application and cache them, so when I request a class the second time it just does a lookup, without actually seeing if the class is the same?
I have two SWF files which I shall call container and slave. The slave file contains a movieclip that extends from a class I shall call base. base extends MovieClip and is compiled into an SWC. slave includes this SWC as a runtime library, while container includes it as merged (and does reference it so it should be compiled into the container SWF).
The container loads the slave like so:
bgURLRequest = new URLRequest(slaveUrl);
var context:LoaderContext = new LoaderContext(false, new ApplicationDomain( null ), SecurityDomain.currentDomain);
bgLoader.load(bgURLRequest, context);
When this loading happens, I get the error that class base was not found. I suspect this has something to do with the presence of the ApplicationDomain in there. I'm not sure what it does exactly, since I didn't write this loading code myself (but I do know that it's there for a reason so it can't be simply removed).
However I still feel confusing the question about loading.In fact I know in the testing result, the xml data is still running. I don't know how to fix it. Maybe I should say how to wait it complete the loading or something else i can do for other class calling it. As i just find many book, most of them only talking about using the addEventListener.

package{
import flash.display.*;

In another function I have the following:

Now, the file pageDetails.xml does exist in the appropriate folder with the following, essentially identical to the above comment:

I've built a custom FLV player that needs to rely on a PHP script to serve it FLV files in order to control access to those files. My player uses the FLVPlayback component.My actionscript makes a call like this to the PHP script:[code]When tested, the FLVPlayback component simply won't accept the FLV served up to it in this way. It WILL work if loading directly from the file system, so I know my actionscript works. I can load just about any other type of file into Flash this way,including JPG and SWF. FLV is the only format that doesn't work.I've added the video/x-flv MIME Type to all test servers I've tried this on, so the server should recognize the file.

I am building an APP and have a movieclip(loginScreen_mc) on stage which has a linked class. This class (login class) recieves some xml data and then tells the parent swf (parent.loginScreen_mc) to goto next frame which has a movieClip on it and yes this movieclip has a linked class (case class).
how do i send the xml data recieved in the login class to the case class. I tried to send it to the case class's constructor fn but it doesnt like that.
I'm working on a tile based game and I want to create a class file that will hold all of my level design arrays. it seems silly to make this class extend MovieClip so i was wondering what a good class would be to have it extend. I want to call the class file up when loading a level and have it send the array to my tilesetter function in my game engine.

View 1 RepliesI am trying to take some XML from a web service that looks something like this:

That works. However I have been unable to manipulate that into an XMLList. (I'm not sure that is the best course of action however.)I have tried this:
var
myXMLList:XMLList = x.UserData;
and var myXMLList:XMLList = x.User; Neither of these work. (Again, not sure if this is even what I need to do.)

I have an xml class that loads xml data, I need to access the data from another class. I have imported the xml classinto the new class and created a new instance of it. However when I try to access the xml data it is coming back as null. I understand this is almost certainly because when it is called the xml data hasn't completed it's load. How can I get round this?

i'm a very new user to flex (never use flex, nor flashbuilder, nor action script before), but i want to learn this langage because of the beautiful RIA and chart it can do.I watched the video on adobe : 1 hour to build your first program but i'm stuck :
On the video it says that we have to provide a PHP class for accessing data and i used the example that flash builder gave (with zend framework and mysqli). I never used those ones and it makes a lot to learn if i count zen + mysqli.My question is : can i use a PHP class like this one ? What does flash builder except in return ? i hear that was automatic.example it may be wrong, i'm not very familiar with classes when acessing to database :

class DBConnection {
