View 12 RepliesI'm currently modifying an xml menu found in the kirupa tutorials and Ive gotten stuck. I want the menu to filter into different columns depending on a xml node called type="". So far I have this but I cant seem to get my head around how to filter the menu.
Code:
GenerateMenu = function (container, name, x, y, depth, node_xml) {
var currNode;
var currItem;
var currMenu = container.createEmptyMovieClip(name, depth);
[code]....
at the moment all I've tried to do is filter the menu with an if statement to only display the type node with "web" in them. As soon as I undestand how this is done I sohuld be albe to do the rest myself.
I have need of loops / nested loops that pick different figures depending on where you are in the loop. The whole function needs to run through 'ml' times. 'ml' is a dynamic figure. Loop 1 = While the loop is within the first 12 iterations, 'exconemp' must equal 100. For iterations 13 - 24, 'exconemp' must equal 102.5, for 25 - 36 it will be 105.06, for 37 - 48 it will be 107.69. This needs to change every 12th iteration until it has reached 'ml'. The calculation takes the value of the previous 'exconemp' and then multiplies that by 0.025.
Loop 2 = While the loop is within the first 120 iterations, 'abc' must equal 0.015 and any further iterations must use 0.01. This must also work in a way to figure out whether 'ml' is higher or lower than 120 and work accordingly. My main issue is this - how do I get the loops to run through as this: While the iteration is < 12, do this, THEN take the final figure (12th iteration) and start on 13 - 24, do this THEN etc etc. How do I produce a THEN statement? I can get the code to pick up the final values, but not change along the way.

Trying to loop though my XML data and assign to text fields. Not get a specific error but I am pretty sure it has something to do with the way I am referencing the data and assign it to the .text box. I am also having issues with getting the length of my xml so I know how many times to loop.first a summary of my XML:
<Worksheet>
<Row>
<Data>Last Name</Data>[code].....
I have an AS that reads a PHP generated xml file. I've got it to get mysql db info just fine. Only problem I'm having is it keeps getting the <item> field from the first node.
Here's my XML:
Code:
<birthdays>
<month>January
<item>ronnie7211 - 01st</item>
[Code].....
As you can see the output is all wrong. I should be reading the <item>s under the <month>February</month> node.
was trying to get a prototype run from a foreach loop depending on instance name... but i stripped the code. Why wont this work?

What Im trying to do is duplicate some main button movieClips for each <dept> node. When pressed these main buttons then show a second set of buttons for as many <menu> nodes there are. In the actionScript the displayMainButtons function is used to loop through the XML and display the Main buttons. With the other 2 display functions (displayFirstButton and displaySecondButton) Im displaying another button for each <menu> node. These too works just fine, but the problem with writing it this way is that I have to write another display function for as many <dept> nodes there are. Id like this to be written so it loops through it in one function so I can add as many <dept> nodes with as many <menu> nodes as I'd like without going back into the AS code to add more display functions. And as you can see, I had to do the same to delete the buttons.
View 1 RepliesIs there any way to show a certain slide in flash CS5 depending on what day of the week it is? Say for example its Monday the flash file on load will show a slide designed for Monday.
View 1 RepliesQuestion: Is it possible to let flash load different files with an if-statement depending on from where the file is entered?My plan is to publish the swf with an html file. So theoretical as there are many different locations for IP adresses it should be possible to have the if-statement check, from where my file is opened
View 3 RepliesI 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.
How can I tell flash to load swf depending on date? I want my movie to load swf on 3-3 or something and I don't want it to load on other dates.

View 8 RepliesI had done a swf content for some major resolution ..flash800.swf,flash1200.swf,flash1600.swf. I load a swf at first which detects the x resolution of a screen and then loads appropriate content. the problem is that tke decision-making swf loads that flash movie into itself , so I have to do the checking resolution swf the maximum width and height the same as in the biggest (flash1600.swf) movie loaded into it....that makes all my work meaningless.
View 4 RepliesI have a XML file that doesn't have a <root> node so when using c# XmlReader to create it doesn't like multiple nodes, so what I need to do is script a new way to read the xml file but passing the <Root> node and continuing as the current xml doesn't have it.
This is the current script
Code:
xmlData.onLoad = function(success:Boolean) {
if (success) {
//first node is for continents - their countries and color
xmlNode = this.childNodes[0]; //xmlNode = Continents
for (var counter:Number = 0; counter < xmlNode.childNodes.length; counter++) {

View 6 RepliesI am loading an xml file and some of the node attributes do not have values:
<books>
<book id="qq" description="test1"></book>

I get a null object reference when I try to run the second book line because of the missing description. Can I check for this in code and skip accessing the description for this line?
Something like if (xml_book.@description is null) {do nothing}else{do something)?
I have an AdvancedDataGrid tree with a ArrayCollection as its dataprovider. Now, for instance, i drag a leaf from one node to another node. To catch the event I'm adding a Listener to dragComplete.
[Code]...
My Problem: I want to know the new node where the leaf was dropped. Actually i would have expected that in the event there is a property like dropParent. This is not the case.
I have a tree im my mxml that uses a XMLListCollection as dataProvider. It´s XML is like:

How can I make the node for, say, id==4 visible AND selected?

I thought this was going to be easy! I would like to search an XML file for a particular data set i.e. set of nodes depending on a passed variable. However, storing a subset of my XML file via Code:var gallery = this.firstChild; and then searching 'gallery' as you would an array-using a for()-doesn't work since this.firstChild isn't returning an array
Code:
<gallery>
<collection title="Christmas 2004">

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?
