I have an old gallery that loaded a set of pictures and swf's from a folder using an arrayarMedia = ["clip2.swf", "image01.jpg", "clip2.swf" .. etc ...];I wanted to update this by using xml to generate that array and came up script below.
Code:
//load media paths from xml into an array for gallery or pictuers and swf files
var galleryXML:XML = new XML();
[code].....
i want to load all the attributes by the name "pagename" within this xml file into an array : my_array
xml file:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
- <earnvaluemanagement>
- <module id="01" title="Overview" foldername="content/module_01">
[Code].....
I don't know why it happens, but all elements of my array has same value :(
[Code]....
I don't know why but all nodes in nodesList, has same location (the location of last point pushed to the array...)
How do I create an array with actionscript if I'm not Using attributes in my XML file.
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<portfolio><books name="Livros"><image>
<thumb>photos/livros/livromisterioth.jpg</thumb>
<source>photos/livros/livromisterio.jpg</source>
[Code] .....
This is what I would use to create some Array of attributes:
Code:
var nArray = new Array();
for (var i = 0; i<gallery_xml.firstChild.childNodes[0].childNodes.length; i++) {
nArray.push(gallery_xml.firstChild.childNodes[0].childNodes[i].attributes.title);
}
But how do I extract all the <title> info into the nArray from the XML file above?
When I try to load in my xml attributes it loads in all the attribures for that node not just the Title Or Description. How do I get it to just load the Title.
Code:
var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, loadXML);
loader.load(new URLRequest("2152.xml"));
function loadXML(e:Event):void {
XML.ignoreWhitespace=true;
var xml=new XML(e.target.data);
[Code] .....
I tried to output all the data inside the nodeName size and in works fine but when it comes to the attributes it gives me only the firstChild [code]...
View 1 RepliesI have 2 swf files, both are 1024x768 pixels. splash1.swf loads first and must be displayed at 100% by 100%, when splash1.swf finishes it loads splash2.swf inside of it - problem is the second swf comes in scaled all funky, this one must be loaded at actual size to display properly 1024 x 768.
I really don't want to have to load another html page, is there any way the swf can force it to load not scaled but actual size. Or anyway to dynamically change the html size attributes?[code]....
I am loading an xml file and some of the node attributes do not have values:
<books>
<book id="qq" description="test1"></book>
<book id="nn" description""></book>
</books>
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 array of objects. Each object has a color attribute which could be "red", "blue", "yellow", "green", "orange" or "purple". There are 20-30 objects in the array so colors repeat. My goal is to sort the array so that no colors are next to each other. Distribution of colors is not exactly even but close.
This is what I have so far. It checks the next and previous object for a color match and if it finds a match it moves it to the end of the array.
private function sortColors():void
{
var getNext:uint;
var getPrev:uint;
[Code].....
This works OK but if there is more of a certain color they end up repeating at the end. I could add something to the end to throw those back into the mix but I feel like there must be a better way.
I have a gallery that reads an ms access database using asp and then loops through an array of records and duplicates an empty movieclip for each record. jpeg is then loaded into the movieclip and then a variable for the _x position is incremented and then the next one is loaded etc.I then use the same method to add the necessary labels for the images by duplicating a movieclip and adding a text fieldThis is all fine and produces a gallery of images but the problem comes when I try and position the labels according to the height of the image. I have tried every method I can think of to check the image attributes which are only available when it is fully loaded, but I keep getting a value of 0.
Code:
stop();
// Set variable holding image folder path
[code].....
I am dynamically creating a number of objects (movieclips) which all have a number of attributes.[code]and so on. i.e sub attributes. I don't think this is possible? Only sprite and movieclips can have dynamic attributes so unless atrbY is a movieclip (which it isn't, it's a string) it isn't allowed?Each object can have suboptions with further attributes associated with the chosen suboption.Later in the program I will manipulate, read and interact with the objects and they have text display behaviours dependent on the suboption chosen. That part (should) be straightforward! heh. One the object has the attributes attached in a usable format, accessing them should be simple.This will be for a store. i.e t-shirt1 has size small, price 10, size medium, price 12, size large, price 14. t-shirt2 has size medium, price 35, size large, price 40 and so on.[code]
This format of the XML can be adjusted if it would make the parsing easier.I am currently reading the XML in, stepping through, grabbing the individual parameter such as category and then adding it as an attribute of the object and it works fine. i.e. I end up with obj.category = 'catname'. However, on suboptions I am having a problem.Should I put all the suboptions in a multidimensional array and use nested loops to apply them to the object?I would still have the problem of objX.suboptionarray[Y].suboptionprice which isn't allowed? In the above XML case Y would be 0,1 and 2 giving 3 suboptions to objX and each suboptions would hold attributes such as pvid associated with that suboption.I could go down the horrible route, obj1.suboption1subptionprice ; obj1.suboption1suboptionpname; obj1.suboption1suboptionvalue; obj1.suboption2suboptionprice; obj1.suboption2suboptionpname and so on and so on for each suboption which could be five options (small,medium,large,x-large, xx-large) and which would "work" but would be bad programming and involve splicing names to get say, the "third" suboptions' price and pvid e.t.c
Going down the route of mutidimensional arrays sounds good except that on say 50 objects I would have stacks of arrays which I'm guessing isn't great in terms of resources?.Just to add, the number of suboptions varies between object, every object has a minimum of one suboption (default option) but can have as many as needed (unlikely to be more than 5 but should be scalable). i.e some t-shirts only come in medium whereas some have many sizes.I have a fair amount of leeway on the format of the XML which I generate from the database so the formatting of that could change to make the parsing easier.

I have a flashcard application that i am in the process of process of converting from AS2 to AS3.
i have managed to load the XML but need some help loading it into an array.
Here is the XML:

<flashcard>
<card number='1'>
<question>Is red a color</question>

My problem comes right at the end when i try to load the XML into the cardArray,
My first loop works it load the node the second seems to erase the array for some reason when I trace it. can you tell me where im going wrong here.

I have a page that I'm trying to build that has a scrolling image bar at the bottom but I want to also show the full size image in flash above the images that come up in the thumbnail array when you mouse over each image in the array. I found some code that makes the thumbnail array work but I have no idea how to display the second larger image on mouse over because its loading the images externally... what can I do? Feel free to email me back.

how to load an array from a .txt file into my flash presentation. The point is that people need to be able to edit a list of products without needing the .FLA movie (or they will mess it up).
The .txt file looks as followed:
PHP Code:
[["Company1","3"],["Brandname1","Productname1","Productname2","Productname3"],["Brandname2","Productname1","Productname2"]],[["Company2","4"],["Brandname1","Productname1","Productname2"],["Brandname2","Productname1","Productname1"]]
And this is where I want it to be. But I know I can't just open a file and put it down there, so does anyone have a suggestion how to do this?
PHP Code:
var LIST:Array = [ *SHOULD BE IMPORTED HERE*];
Right now I am working on a game where I need to have 19 pieces revolving with 19 different MCs in them. The code I have can accommodate the movement and 19 pieces, but how to get 19 different ones in there - just one with 19 duplicates.
I thought if I addressed them in an array, I could tell my emptyMovieClip to load them into itself with individual MCs. I'm sure I'm on the right path, but it's not working yet.

View 2 RepliesI know there are tons of tutorials out there about loading images from an xml file and creating a slide show. I can plug and play with those pretty good. However I would prefer it if I could start writing code myself. I am starting basic and each day working on adding code to a project.
Here is a made up app. Basically I have created three loaders that add an image to each one which I put into an array, cause why not. I have two event listeners one for an on stage click to load an image, and one a timer to load an image. The next thing I would like to try and do is load one image for a period of time, then load another etc.
So would I need a loop that loops through the array somehow connected with a timer?
public class array extends Sprite
{
//Create Loaders
private var imageOne:Loader= new Loader;

I have an array, how can I load it into a list box? Also, I have 6 arrays, I put them each into a different layer, Is that correct?
View 5 RepliesI am building a jukebox for a website, which has a genres, bands, and tracks list.These are all populated from a MySQL DB. The info is dumped into a listbox component.ll of the lists are working, but on the tracks list, i need to pull the track name,and its filepath. So that I can assign the track name to the lable property, and the filepath to the data property.My problem, is that I cannot get a multiple value array from php to flash, it keeps coming up as undefined.
PHP Code:
echo "&testArray=[["track1","filepath"] ["track2","filepath"]]";// i have not put the query in i dont think the problem is there

here's a painfully easy one I bet -- I'm aware of how to use EX4 to filter most pieces of the xml I need however how can I filter an XML list such as the one below to check say --- if a dog is a beagle? preferably as a Boolean.
[Code]...
I have XML below
<node id="id1"/><node id="id2"/>...
<edge id="eid1" fromId="id1" toId="id2"/>
<edge id="eid2" fromId="id3" toId="id1"/>
<edge id="eid3" fromId="id2" toId="id4"/>
Now I need get all edge base on nodeId,
nodeId = id1 -> eid1, eid2
nodeId = id2 -> eid1, eid3
nodeId = id3 -> eid2
nodeId = id5 -> Null
