I'm kinda noobish when it comes to getting information from XML information sent to my flash file from the socket server. OK so for example the server sends me this:
[Code]...
I want to get the name of the user and the X and Y position! Is there a way I can get this information without a load of fuss from functions and other junk remember im kinda noobish.

Background: I am trying to create a website that is easily updateable by a non-html savy user. I figure I can load the content of my flash page from a notepad file within the same directory.I would prefer to not make the editor use a FTP program, so I figure the best method is a webpage where the person can log in and type the updated text and have it create a new notepad file and overwrite the old one. I am not sure if this is technically flash or simply a html question, but does anyone know how to go about doing this

I am looking for a class that functions similar to JPEGEncoder from as3corlib, but instead of encoding a JPEG, I want to take a dynamic drawing the user has made (with animation) and output an SWF file that the user can download and playback on his/her computer.I understand how to create an SWF and store user variables that control the playback, but I want to make it all contained in a single SWF file.

I am making a random name chooser for a class (using an array to read from 28 names). I was wondering if it is possible for flash to read an array from a notepad file. [code]Is there a way to make it so that instead of having to edit the Fla file to edit the names, I can just make a notepad file with the array and _root.NumberOfStudents variable so that it can be edited from year to year easily?

pulling both a variable and an array from a text file (.txt). In my case I have the following:A flash file (.fla)A text file (named MyTxtFile.txt)Now, I just need to be able to pull an array from the txt file. Is it possible to do this? On the main timeline of my flash file I have the following:
Code:
MyArray= new Array("Pizza", "Cheese", "Fish");
_root.NumberofItems= 3;
My goal is to have the "MyArray" array in the text file so that I can edit the values from the txt file.Then I have a button on the main timeline ("Item_txt" is just a dynamic textbox in the flash file):
Code:
on(release) {
_root.Item_txt = _root.MyArray[random(_root.NumberofItems)]; }
I want to be able to update this file often, so I thought it would be handy to just "store" an array and a variable in a text file. Let's say in MyTxtFile.txt I had the array "MyArray" and the variable "NumberofItems". I could just update the information in the txt file and it would update the Flash file.
Edit: Would it be possible to store a string in a text file, then have that string put into a blank array? For example: If I had "cheese", "stars", "playdoh" in a text file and then I pulled the string into flash using the LoadVars class could I have the code in my time line set up like this:
Code:
_root.variable1 = "";
var ARRAY:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
ARRAY.onData = function(thetext:String) {
[code]....

I'm trying to figure out the best way to create a search box that searches an XML document and returns the results. So far I know how to do a search that returns exact matches but I want to make it so if someone typed in say "Manager" it would return results that Also had "Sales Manager" or "Account Manager".
Currently I have
PHP Code:
var authorList:XMLList = xmlData.job.(title == citySearch.text);
Which only works with exact results. What is the best way to get around this? Do I just need to bring in everything from the XML file and then compare it using .search()?

is it possible to store and array generated in flash in a XML file?I am wanting to try make something where I have a group of object to choose from but I only want to choose say 3 of 10. I would like to be able to check the ones I want and then those be added to an array or an XML file which I can later pick up and use in another external swf.Because I am wanting to use an external swf I thought that adding it to say an xml file would be the option. But I don't really know how to get the ball rolling on this.

I would like to know if there is a way to make a flash movie that sends information straight to my email with the push of a button. Is it possible? Can it be done without knowledge of the person? I want to have a poll, and calculate the votes by hand, or eye, I suppose. I just don't want to have to set up a server of any kind.

This has quite a long background history, so I`ll first ask the question: how can I make a loaded SWF file activate a function inside another loaded SWF file - both in the same 'parent' movie, domain and directory - when the user clicks a 'link' on the first swf?I'm new to actionscript, been only working with it for 2 months and I've been learning on the go. So far, so good, flash cs3 help has been useful, as well as this forum and other sites. My project is a website, no innovations, just simple info and light animations.The site should have an intro page (I called it index), a preloader, then the actual site (home), with links to each specific area (pages). In home, a small slideshow movie clip should always be on the upper left corner looping images until the user clicks a link to a page, when the slideshow fades away. With this briefing, I made a file for the index, and a uiloader in it would get the home file and that 'should' be it.My stage resizing event listener was working perfectly on home - standing alone - moving the slideshow exactly as it should. But when home was loaded inside index, the slideshow moved way more than it should never getting in the right place. After various unsuccessful attempts, I decided to move the slideshow into its own swf and load it directly in the index, together with the home file. This way, I managed to make it relocate precisely, but got myself the problem I'm asking here. I need to get the slideshow to fade away when the user clicks a page link, but they are separate files.
I tried to use a Loader.content based function, located at the index, but figures Flash help was not exactly clear on how I had to use it properly, so I did not manage to get it to work. It always reported an unspecified property. I searched around here and over the net, found similar problems and their solutions but could not resolve my problem. I think this is a little too specific..

My situation is this I have 4 movies which load each other, meaning: movie1.swf loads movie2.swf which loads movie3.swf which loads movie4.swf movie3.swf communicates with movie2.swf though the _parent path and it works. but i can't seem to make movie2.swf communicate with movie3.swf since movie2 is _parent i assumed movie3 is a _child...but it does not work so my question is what do i replace _child with?
PHP Code: _child.mc.gotoAndStop("subM" + no); ps: would apreciate it if u could tell me a bit about levels ex: _level10/_level0 what do they mean and how can i tell on what level i have something

I am trying to make a real time communication for a flash file with php so if there is a change on the php the data are refreshed on the flash automatically.
I have a function that loads the php data in flash, how can I repeat that so it checks if the data have changed every, 5 seconds or so?
Also, how can I create a function that will do something when the data changes? So let's say the data is 20, if the file communicates with php and sees that data have changed to 25, how can I tell flash to play a movieclip or whatever?
