I have a tricky problem. I've been working on a flash quiz that uses a xml file to generate questions in a random order. Got that working fine. The Fla parses open the file and loads the nodes into dynamic text boxes.

View 7 RepliesI have Flash CS3. I have created a flash file. If I click on the SWF file I have no problems opening it It plays. It looks nice I'm the man.However, now when I try to publish it, the HTML file will not work. It says "windows cannot find this file,you have typed the location correctly".I am double clicking directly on the file and not typing anything, in fact I was considering checking on Ebay to see if I could upgrade my PC to have eyes.The feature has worked previously, which leads me to the conclusion that something else has changed. I have tried using the publish setting, I have also tried using Dreamweaver to embed the file, and have also tried manually inserting the necessary code after seeing some on a website.
View 4 RepliesI am working with a Flash template that includes a window linking to an XML document. We are trying to have three scrollable columns instead of what we have now which is the one block of text provided through the XML document.
View 21 Repliesi've been all afternoon trying to figure out a solution to my problem, and I can't seem to find it, or cannot implement it. Let me lay it out for you: I have an actionscript file linked to a movieclip. (movieclip:skate class linked: generic_skate).I have it set up that way so I can create an array of skates easily (i'm using a for loop to create them), and each skate has its own attributes (name, description, price and the image that is supposed to go on the deck)In the stage, i have three text boxes, one for the price, other for the name, and another one for the description.In the generic_skate class, I'm handling all the mouse events (in this case mouseOver and mouseOut.
What i want to accomplish is: when the user hovers over a skate, the info shows up in the text fields and when he hovers out, the info goes away. My problem: Since I'm doing all the mouse interaction in the class file, my guess is that I have to access the stage to get to the text boxes that are placed there to change its info or somehow create a "middle" man to do all the handling.
Anyone know where to start thinking about logic for an XML quiz with multiple correct answers, that when the user gets the question right, that question is removed from the random array of questions so we never need to answer it again?
View 0 RepliesIm building a program that queries a database for options and displays the options in a number of comboBoxes. The comboBoxes are dynamically built and loaded via code and added to the stage. I would like to build the comboBoxes into a single movie clip (maybe not the correct wording) so I can use options like tweening and such to make it look better. The code is below.
package classFiles
{
import flash.display.MovieClip;

View 4 RepliesOn the mxmlc command line, I can include paths to RSL files. I can choose to link these RSLs at runtime by setting

Sounds simple enough. I have a number of swfs (quiz01.swf, quiz02.swf.....) all linked to one quiz.as file. The quizes in turn are loaded by another swf, Main.swf. I need to get the name of the specific quiz that is loaded, so I can identify an external xml file.
Tried using the "loaderURL" in the as, but it gives the name of the Main.swf. How can I just get the name of the swf that is associated with the quiz.as file?
Posted this to the Adobe Support forum too, but so far, no luck there. My Flash CS4 installation on one computer is not giving me the auto complete choices it should for AS3. When I open an FLA for AS3, the ActionScript panel gives me the correct auto complete options for AS3.When I create a new AS file, link it to an AS3 FLA file, the auto complete options in the AS file are AS2 related and I cannot figure out why it's doing this or how to get my AS3 options back.I have some screen shots posted there to show what's happening.
View 1 RepliesI am writing a class in AS 3.0 to read in a xml file to create content for a quiz. Once I instantiate the xml obj and pass in a string that determines the xml name in the constructor for the xml class I read in the xml and populate some arrays. Evidently in AS 3.0 you have listeners for reading in xml, which is the problem I am having. Once the object is instantiated I try to call on a method called getArray, but the XML hasnt finished being read in and I get a compile error. Error below: TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.at xmlReader_fla::MainTimeline/frame1()

I have been creating an e-learning package using RapidIntake software. They have a quiz file that is used throughout the course. I've downloaded the source files to try to change the font size of the checkbox component but its not working the normal way?I've tested it by putting another checkbox in the middle which you can see in my picture. But the same code isn't working for the original checkboxes.The code I've used is est.setStyle("fontSize",16);Checkbox2.setStyle("fontSize",16);The test checkbox is the one in the middle thats working.
View 6 RepliesI am creating an interactive cd which basically runs a blank projector which then loads in various swf files from fscommand folder as and when required.
Part of the CD is a quiz - created using one of the standard flash templates. When this is loaded into the main projector as a swf file it runs perfectly until it gets to the "results page" - at this point it returns the blank templates e.g Answered = 0.
If you play the swf file on it's own it works fine. If you play the file as a projector on it's own it works fine too.
The problem only occurs when it is loaded into the main projector on a level above the root.

Which is preferred and why: keeping the AS in the Flash file itself, or linking to the .as with the Flash file. I've seen both done. Is it just a matter of preference?
View 4 Repliesit is my first time reading in XML files into my Flash project. I have it working to an extent, as it will read in the file correctly and all that, and I though that I was finally ready to publish it. I copied all of the concerned files over to my server, and it will work perfectly fine when I view the flash from the uploaded link directly (right on my server in the folder I created it in).
My problem arises when I try to publish my project on another website, by just embedding the .swf directly. The project works perfectly until I click the tab that will read in the XML file, at that point it will just hang and not load it in properly. Since it was my first time using XML, I played around with a template a bit to learn it. Anyway, here is what I put (Well, example of what I put)
Code:
flashmo_page1.load_xml("http://mywebsite123456.com/directory/flash/flashmo_197_page_1.xml");
I though that linking directly to my file on my website would make it work, but it still hangs.
I have a FLA file that has a AS file linked via the document class.
How do I remove the link from the documnet class and the place an import on the timeline to do the same thing ?
I want 3 movieclips to change positions (swap places) on the stage randomly when I push a button and make sure they are always in different positions, so they don't randomise the same way.
cat, dog, fish
position_a,position_b,position_c
position_b,position_c,position_a
position_c,position_a,position_b
then loop and randomize the position they popup in again. So I can just keep on clicking the screen and they always change.
xxxa
xxbx
cxxx
I will have the 3 movie clips on the stage with instance names.
position_a
position_b
position_c

View 1 Repliesim trying to make a website based on flash.and im trying to link flash to XML.And here is my problem.I have a layer called "Pages", and im working in one of the pages.I made a timeline, which also had few more pages (5 to be exact).I want to load 1 linked image (as in you click on the image and then load something) on each of the 5 layer based on XML File, and when its clicked it loads on a new page in the "MAIN" site. If thats possible. How would I make that happen?
View 3 RepliesI got a problem, there I have two movie clips each is linked with action script file. The first movie clip "level screen" has a loop (code is not shown there) in it's code which addChild a lot of same icons (but each has different number) and add them to array levelArray. Then when I click a icon, for example one with nmber 31, it addChild the other movie clip "main screen" and send it a variable "levelNumber" with value 31, so mainScreen could then addChild a level 31. Below is the code for levelScreen checking what icon is being clicked and taking right actions. However first I will write how i imagined this to work step-by-step
1. The timer activates the loop over and over again, so when it comes to end, it starts again.
2. The loop loops through array called levelArray, in which all icons are stored.
3. Inside the loop it first defines a variable checkIcon which is the icon at which the loop is.
4. Now there the things get complicated, I want to add a MouseEvent listener to icon, if it would be triggered the function "onLevelButtonClick" should be executed, and the I want to remove the listener again, so I wont have 1000 listeners on same icon after some time.
5. And the function dispatch event which add main screen and send it a variable levelNumber, which should be number of icon clicked.

I am dynamically loading external SWFs in a Main Fla in response to clicks on a menu.
The loading code is standard and works fine for all of the SWFs except one. When I try to load it I get the following error: Error #2044: Unhandled IOErrorEvent:. text=Error #2035: URL Not Found.
I am certain that the URL to the problem SWF is correct. The SWF itself doesn't load any other SWFs or images. The problem SWF is linked to an external class file and compiled with it. i.e. in the properties panel of the main timeline of the problem SWF's Fla I have entered the path to the external class.
1. there is no problem compiling this SWF with the class (it works fine by itself)2. if I remove the external class from the properties panel and don't use it the resulting SWF imports without a problem into the Main Fla mentioned before So the problem seems to be the fact that the external class is linked in the properties panel. Is this a path problem?

View 4 RepliesI have a simple quiz (Q and A) to design that contains both input fields as well as dynamic fields which gets a value (text or number) from an onClick action. When i submit the form, using the code from this thread (http://board.flashkit.com/board/show...hreadid=766156), i managed to get the input fields content to get saved on to the CSV file, however the dynamic content doesn't. it only works when i literally type the value in the text field.
View 8 RepliesI am having trouble loading a quiz.swf into another another movie. To generate my quiz I goto
File > New > Templates > Quiz > Quiz_style_1
And in the first frame of the example quiz I add:
stop(); // To prevent playback
this._lockroot = true; // to preserve the heirarchy
Then I publish the quiz as testquizex.swf, and I can test this movie and it works fine by itself. Then in a different movie I start with a blank scene I add a keyframe and I insert
stop();
var mc:MovieClip = this.createEmptyMovieClip("mc", this.getNextHighestDepth());
mc.loadMovie("testquizex.swf");
Now the movie imports and loads into the frame and I can navigate through to the first question page, but the quiz doesn't actually work anymore i.e. drop targets dont work and the score won't increase. Is there anything else I have to do to the stock quiz template to make it importable into another project?
I'd like it to display a question on one page, then have a next button which takes the user to another page telling them if that question was correct or not, and if it is correct they can move on to the next question (by clicking another next button) and if they got it wrong, have to go back and answer it again. However I have no clue how to do this! which includes a quiz. Would it be a better idea to create the quiz in Flash or something and then embed it into my Java application? Or just do the whole thing in Java?
