Is there a way (a method) to obtain the location of an item no matter where it is. Maybe something that looks for an item finds it's path and puts that path at to a _global

In the advanced search page you can specify 'near' a specific location and this 'near' parameter shows up clearly in the query string.However, Twitter does not support the use of 'near' in the public search api.Apparently you need to supply a geocode value.Can anyone suggest the best way for obtaining a geocode in Flash?
View 1 RepliesI would like to write a flash program that obtains the viewer's IP address, then obtains the viewer's state, and then according to the state it shows a particular picture. So if I put this flash on my website and someone from Massachussetts looks at my website they will see a picture of a MASS license plate, but if someone from NJ looks at the same site they will see a picture of a NJ license plate. I am familiar with some PHP, HTML, java-script and I have done alot Flash graphics work but I have not done any ActionScript which will need to be used here.
View 4 Repliesmy mission is to select an item in a DataGrid instance with nothing but the coordinates on screen.
We are implementing right-click functionality in our Flash application, with the goal of being able to right-click a DG row, which would select that row plus show a popup window containing some context commands.
I have managed to get the right click event into my Flex app with the help of this site.
Further progress so far has been to obtain the DataGrid instance via
var objects : Array = this.getObjectsUnderPoint(new Point(this.mouseX, this.mouseY));
and then to investige each of the array's items, for one of those 'parent.parentList' refers to the DataGrid instance.
I couldn't find any point-to-item converter function or anything.
PS: Using the standard Flash ContextMenu is, unfortunately, not an option.
I simply want to generate a list of the items in my library. (Then i want to read an external file and format the text in as3. All this bec I'm too lazy to learn CSS.)

I've got a tree component which works great, but I'm trying to add an item at a particular location (immediately after the item they select) into the tree. The problem is that I'm trying to add an item within a branch. I'm using myTree.getDisplayIndex(myNode) to get the position within the tree, but it gives the location relative to the entire list, but I need to get the position relative to the parent (which is what myNode.parentNode.addTreeNodeAt is trying to write to)...

I am making a site and I do not want some of the buttons to show all of the time. So for example, I have four text buttons with Actionscript Mouse_Over from frames 1-40 on the timeline. At 41, they are gone and four new buttons come into play. When I test the movie, the second set of rollovers link up to the specified labels.I keep getting this"1009 error at frame ()1" message. I initially had the same problem with the first four buttons as I had them appear on the stage at frame 3. After I moved them to frame 1, the rollovers worked again.So is there a way to hide the second set of buttons until a specified time or do they have to start on frame 1?Is there a way you could view my Fla file to see if it is something I am just overlooking? All of my Script is correct.

View 1 RepliesI've used FlexCover quite a bit before so this is absolutely absurd to me. No matter what version of the flex sdk (3.0, 3.2, or 4) that I apply the appropriate patches too, I get the following error when trying to compile:[code]I have absolutely no idea why this is happening. One thing that is odd however (and I'm hoping is the source of my problem) is that I can NOT download the SDKs that are specifically suggested by the Flexcover documentation. Copying folders on Mac OS X does not merge them and so I was losing the original jar's that needed to stay there.

View 8 RepliesI have problem with obtaining variables from php script.
Here is my php script
<?php
echo "&Files=1,2,3";
php>
And now in the actionscript 2.0
var GVars:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
var Pictures:Array = new Array();
GVars.onLoad = lVars;
GVars.load("[URL]");
function lVars(){
trace("Files: " + this.Files);
Pictures = this.Files.split(",");
} trace("Array: " + Pictures.length);
Here is the output in the trace window
Array: 0
Files: 1,2,3,
As you can see the first is Array:0 which means that actionscript ran first trace
("Array: " + Pictures.length);
End then lVars function. I cannot load variables from php in correct order.
So ive been asked to build a page for a real state company and the guy told me it should be similar to these [URL] Ive been trying a couple of weeks so far, but i dont seem to find a way to do somthing similar, i mean, i want to have the welcome screen as those two:
- the gradient background
- flash occupies whole screen no matter what size it is
- gradient expands sideways infinately
- no matter what height my explorer window is, gradient is always in the same position relative to top, and if i keep expanding downwards the background keeps last colour of the gradient.
- the brand logo looks as if it had top, left and right anchors, and it also limitates the minimum width of the explorer window
i though of addind a 3000 x 3000px square with the gradient and centering it, but i know there has to be a professional way of achieving that.
Situation:I've got 2 swf files,1 is a preloader which loads the 2nd swf file, my site.Both of them, if started separately,work correctly.Problem:when I put the files together,linking the site's swf to the preloader,I get a null element error and the site loads no correctly.What I've understood :The preloader is ok, because I can remove the error message working on the site's swf AS code.In the preloader's code I have some lines to center its animation on the stage, I do that like this:
import flash.display.Stage;
var myStage:Stage = this.stage;
then using myStage.stageWidth and myStage.stageHeight I calculate the clip position
Also on the site's code I do the same to center a movieclip using exactly the same code, but it doesn't work and I've found that the problem is the myStage variable, not because it has the same name as the variable on the other file (I've tried to name it myFrame).It looks that on the site's swf the myStage variable can't be assigned and then results to be null.
Question: How can I obtain the stage's height and width since var myStage:Stage = this. stage; doesn't work?
So I have a URL that I need my Flash movie to extract variables from:
example link: [URL].. I need to get the aID and the bID numbers.
I'm able to get the full URL into a String via ExternalInterface

Just unsure as how to manipulate the String to just get the 1234 and 5678 numbers.

Can I get the obtain the size of the browser window in AS3?
The best method I've found is to get the size with Javascript and send it to Flash as a FlashVar. One limitation of this method is that it doesn't give the current size if the window is resized.

View 3 RepliesI am not simply trying to contain things and have the container resize without the contents resizing. I would just use a simple MovieClip for that.. My main focus is on the use of BitmapFill. I'm trying to make a repeating background image for a container; thus far I'm able to draw my BitmapFill sprite to the size I want. (Which is the stage's height) but when the stage is resized, I want to re-size my container but have my containers BitmapFill crop or add more as the window is resized bigger or smaller. Allow me to illustrate what I mean:
I've got a simple rectangle sprite that fills with a bitmap from the library and a simple resize handler function that detects when the window has been resized.what I would like to do is have my rectangle resize to the height of the stage.stageHeight maintaining its bitmap fill, but not resizing the bitmap fill or any children within the sprite.
From what I've read, this is a little tricky because the sprite resizes in relation to what it contains.. or.. something like that.. I really don't know any more.. I saw one example where a person extended the sprite class but I don't know why or how..
in my library there is an image called 'pattern' and my code looks like this:
stage.align = StageAlign.TOP_LEFT;
stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE;
stage.addEventListener(Event.RESIZE, resizeHandler, false, 0, true);
[code]....
