I can change my database text, and call it from my flash through php. But it doesn't seem to translate over the '%' sign.
I know this is probably not database specfic.
"Text=Test text&Comment=Take 10% off all products"
The variable Comment only comes out as:
Take 10 of all products.
Do I use an escape character?

Now for my second question:For this shop I have a section on the homepage with news.This sections needs to display the news and have a link to the archives.Each newsitem is an images that contains the news.How can I make Flash loads in the news dynamicaly and let Flash detect if there is an archive (archive = more than 3 newsitems in folder) and if there is one, display it?
I've been searching to find a simple answer to external preloaders, but it seems there are many ways to accomplish this with ac3.
I am new to as3 and this is what I've come up with so far:
green_mc.scaleX = 0;
black_mc.scaleX = 0;
var loader = new Loader();
loader.load(new URLRequest("zibapistachiointeractivesmfilesize03.swf"));
[Code] .....
Everything else is working except my dynamic text that should also be calculating the % of loading.
I have a dropdown box that is used to select a Category. I need the Flash Application to send the value of Category plus the search string in my textbox to my Access query and return results for each product meeting selection criteria. The Flash Application is calling an ASP.NET web service which in turn queries an MS Access database.
To start, how do I define the category ID and search value in my Actionscript 3 code?I've placed a series of 12 or so objects that will be populated with the product description, title and price. How do I setup each field to be dynamic text associated with the title description and price from my query results? If there are more than 12 products returned by the query, how do I add an additional page of objects to house more than 12 query results?
Having problems getting euro sign to display when loaded from external .txt file into dynamic text field using:
var myLv:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
myLv.load("test.txt");
myLv.onLoad = function (success) {
if(success){
[Code].....
tried saving the test.txt file as UTF-8 no joy, also the myvar above needs to display a bunch of text with a scrollbar, peculiar things happen such as, euro sign doesn't display, or, if I embed the font used, with say Arial, text doesn't display properly, if device fonts are chosen without embed, text displayed doesn't display the euro sign, '€' the common way to code the euro in html doesn't get recognised in .txt file?

View 1 RepliesHow do you add a % sign to the end of the text in the Action-script 3 preloader tutorial?
View 1 RepliesI have a flash movie that loads variables from a text file. I need it to be able to display plus signs. Right now they are omitted from display.
For example, if the text file reads variable1=1 + 1; Flash displays "1 1".
Is there a special way to store plus signs in the text file so they are displayed properly?
why a minus sign breaks my dynamic text field?For example, if I have a plus sign like this it works fine:mytext.text = "+1000";But if I have a minus sign, it only shows the minus and nothing after it:
View 3 Repliesi need to do a loading bar for a specific movieclip, not the whole file.
i have 9 clips to load, and i dont load them all at once.
on my main timeline i have 9 movieclips and 9 labels to jump to them but i need to have a loading bar for each..
here is an excerpt of what i used to have the whole movie to load, but it does not work if i use a movieclip in the timeline..

bytes_total = Math.round(_root.getBytesTotal());

I want to convert text into American sign language (ASL). I am thinking of creating a set of videos first and then map to some words.

I just built a website entirely in Flash Catalyst CS5. After adding a few more states the file size got bigger and the loading time increased. On average, it takes about 10 seconds for the site to load on my connection. Till then all you get is a white page and the spark preloader shows up when you scroll down. All I want is a simple preloader with a percentage indicator, loading bar, and maybe my company logo.
View 0 RepliesI want to animate the percentage of a loading scene. I just want to move the dynamic text box and fade it as it gets closer to 100%
View 1 RepliesThis is just a tad difficult to explain but here goes. You start out in the intro scene and it plays a movieclip (the intro) and below it is another clip that is a loading bar and percentage. Now on the main timeline it is checking to see if the percentage is 100 or greater. When it does it goes to the main movie. This all works fine. It's when you get to the main movie that it messes up. All the buttons and a/s work fine but 3. Its sorta hard to explain... Um ok here is the a/s that is on each button unless they dont open another menu.
[Code]...
Now I probably could use a for statement for the first bunch but that's not the point of this explanation now is it. Normally the movie is in frame 1 but when you click a button that opens a new menu it goes to frame 2 and makes sure all menus already open get closed. Hence the reversal of any open m/c's. Then if none are open it opens the new menu using the "per" value from the button. Now for the problem. When I click any one of the 3 buttons it sends the whole m/c back to the intro scene. Why? Any how do I fix it? If you need anymore info I'll be glad to post it.

View 3 RepliesIs there a surestarter preloader in AS3 with CS4? Meaning here, showing a progress bar or percentage value before loading the main swf, right away at the start of the loading.I tried 3 different versions:
1- I used the code from a video (and accompanying files), and simply changed the content.swf to my own swf file (rename my swf content.swf), so that the original code would load my swf instead of the original content.swf. (original content.swf was too small to see anything before loading, because my loading speed is too fast).Here is the code from the original preloader (loads a small swf which then loads the main swf file):
var l:Loader = new Loader();l.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, loop);l.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, done);l.load(new URLRequest("content.swf"));
function loop(e:ProgressEvent):void{ var perc:Number = e.bytesLoaded / e.bytesTotal; percent.text = Math.ceil(perc*100).toString();}[code].....
I'm very new to flash and have a question for you wizards
I've created a simple slideshow displaying images which are being loaded from a XML file. I wish to have a preloader which displays the % loaded , if possible, while it's preloading the images from the xml file.
Im building this AIR app on Flash CS5, and I have this TileList that loads its data (images and names) from a database. I want to do a query with the name any item of the Tilelist when its clicked, so i need to send the name of that item to a PHP file that will execute the query. I am thinking of a function that loads the item name to a variable when the item is clicked. How can I send it to the PHP file and how would I load it to the query? The query I want on the php file goes something like this: Select lat, lon from mapdata where name=theVariable;

View 4 RepliesI want to load an external text file, and display loading percentage in flash,so I could show user how far loading is completed.And the problem is I can see progress in trace window,no progross message displays in the textfield,only when my text is completly loaded,the whole text shows in flash.
[Code]...
I use a variable to show the percentage loaded number in a dynamic text box. The problem I have is that it only works when there is more than 1 frame in the preloader scene.
My guess is, that when there is only one frame, the code is not being refreshed to update the text box.
ie var percentage; percentage = math.round( getBytesLoaded() / getBytesTotal() * 100);
i was just wonder if there is a possible way to do this? If you can actually load these signs % or &.
