I'm working in Flash with a XML menu.
The idea is: when you click on a button from the XML menu it should take me to a Label in Flash.
I'm using the following CS3 code to call on the XML;
//The path for the XML file
var xmlPath:String = "menu.xml";
//We will store the loaded XML to this variable

I have a problem with the animation of my main character. What i've set up is one MovieClip. Within that movieclip there are different animations, such as idle, walking, jumping. All of those start points are marked with a label. I'm coding everything using classes, so no code on the frames.
how do I loop it? Is it necessary to place code on the frames, at the end of each animation?
I build a web site in flash using lables and one of the lables is video. I put video in the video label. When I click to go to anyother label, the video is still playing. what code I would write when I click off the video label the video would stop playing. It sounds like some if statement.
View 5 RepliesI have to display a multitude of labels on-screen without overlap.The label positions should be as close as possible to the features they describe. The features may be points, lines, or polygons on-screen (imagine any variety of map).I have to satisfy the following requirements in my application:labels must be positioned to avoid overposting (overlap) with other labels..labels must be positioned to avoid overlapping with other features (polygons and line segments) optimum position for a label is above and to the right of the feature they describe below and to the right is less acceptable least acceptable positions are to the left.I need to come up with a method for doing this.Before I just start attempting to do this at random, I am hoping someone here may have already done this and be able to give me some advice as to where to start.Basically, with the labels, I could use bounding boxes to compare them to each other. Although I don't know a good way to do this. With the line segments and polygons onscreen that they are labeling, I really don't have a clue what I should do to avoid overlap. I am hoping it won't require much more effort on top of avoiding the overlap of the labels themselves.
I think repulsion would work if I only had to deal with labels overlapping other labels. But if I have a line segment drawn across half the screen, I don't know how I can avoid overlap with that using the repulsion technique.The language I am using is Actionscript 3 and the Flex framework. I don't believe Flex has any layout manager classes like there are in Java Spring that can do this work for me.Anyway, links or suggestions would be welcome. I can allow for some brute force; I don't see how I can accomplish this otherwise.
I can run the code below, where the answers are dynamic text boxes hovering over the buttons. However, the user can't click the button where the textbox overlaps it. I need a way to either assign button labels like the 4 text boxes below or make it so the textboxes do not interfere with clicking the button?
var myXML:XML = new XML();
var XML_URL:String = "http://localhost/connect.php";
var myXMLURL:URLRequest = new URLRequest(XML_URL);

Update: I found the following to change the label, however I am confused as how I do this to buttons I have already created, perhaps using the instance name?
var myButton:Button = new Button();
myButton.label = "Click me";
I have a list component that has hard-coded labels on it (for testing). I then rotate the list component 90-degrees and notice the text disappears(during design time).
I test the file and the labels do not show up also during runtime.
I can get the labels to show if I rotate the component back to its' original state.
I am working on a game and would like to put code for different levels on the same timeline layer, mark the frames with labels (level1, level2...) and add different action script to it. Can this be done, and are there some limits. It is a small tetris like game, and each code would be mainly adding children to a stage, from an array and checking for a collision with objects added on a different layer on the same frame as the label. Also it would change score and so on.

View 1 RepliesHow can i disable the text selection abilities and such of flash TextFields (so they act like labels)?
View 1 RepliesI have an array that holds a list of items. In a movie clip, I have that same list as the frame labels. I'm using a for loop to iterate through the array and then assigning event listeners so that when you roll over an icon, it sends the movie clip to the right frame label (matching the item in the array).
However, the code I have now only returns the first match and not any of the others. Here's my code:
Code:
for (var j:uint = 0; j<interiorCallouts.length; j++) {
featureTextArray[j].text = interiorCallouts[j];
featureArray.length = interiorCallouts.length;
[Code]....
See the showCallout function. I'm using the interiorCallouts array to match the frame label in the callouts_mc, but I'm only getting the first match. None of the others.
I'm trying to build a menu system which populates itself by parsing labels from the Flash timeline. As well I have a requirement to keep this all within one FLA file... so no classes or XML files. After 2 days I'm pretty close here, but have a problem with mouse_out's. I'd like to be able to move my cursor up and down the popped-up sub menu, but as soon as my cursor leaves the first sub button it triggers the mouse_out function.
I want the mouse_out to trigger only when the cursor leaves the entire sub-menu, not it's children. I believe this is a traditional problem and there's solutions but after 1.5 days of tuts and threads I haven't been able to manage it. I think I may just have to tweak how I deal with the submenu array.
I have built a couple of sites in Flash, however, I have a problem with a current site I'm working on. My client wants various photos to fade out in a "checkerboard" fashion, which I am doing via its own movie clip and adding in the appropriate area on the main timeline. However, when I add a blank keyframe on the following page to add a new movie clip (with the next set of pictures, the timeline starts playing through the entire website, not recognizing stop actions or frame labels.

A friend of mine has a Flash Action script running on a LAMP server that currently reads an xml config file. He's asked me if it's possible to remove the xml file, and replace it somehow with a system (lets call it an 'auto xml generator') that intercepts the request to read that file and generates an output, so it appears to all intents and purposes as if the file still exists and contains the contents that has actually been returned from our auto xml generator'

I have this XML that I need to read into flash. I want to display one of the temperatures in the xml. For instance, say I want to display the temperature for 'Sydney'... how would one go about doing that?
Here's the XML:
<CurrentTemps>
<City Name="Gosford" Temp="23.9" />
<City Name="Sydney" Temp="25.4" />
<City Name="Brisbane" Temp="23.4" />
<City Name="Adelaide" Temp="24.7" />
<City Name="Perth" Temp="21.3" />
<City Name="Melbourne" Temp="22.1" />
</CurrentTemps>
I'm looking for a simple, fast way to display just the temp that I desire, and not all of them.
I have a problem with reading the IP address of a computer through Flash. I know the easy way - by using a php script, but this can't help me for this reason - I've created an embeddable flash component, which is a voting poll. The php files and the flash movie are stored on my server, and an embed code is offered to place the component on other sites. So, I'm using loadVars to call a php file from the server and read the IP of the computer that's voting. The problem is, I think, that the php files are stored on my server, and they read its IP.
View 2 RepliesThis is because I use movie clips within other movie clips.
I wondered if anyone knew a workaround or trick that I could use to get text into google. I have a couple ideas but they're just ideas.
I would like to create an alternate page that is not flash, but a regular html page with all of the text I want google to read inside it. Somehow I use code to tell it that when a user clicks on the link, to redirect them to the flash webpage, but when a search engine sees it, to send the search engine/google to that regular html page, where it will gather all of the text and then that text will show up on google's page when you do a search and my site on google? Even if this was possible, would google frown upon this and ban me or something?
The other idea I have is to use invisible text at the bottom of my page. This will be regular html text that is the same color as my background. But I heard this can get you banned from search engines like google if you are using lots of keywords, but I wouldn't be using keywords. I'd be using the few sentences of content that their stupid crappy technology doesn't read, forcing me to bust my hump trying to find a workaround for. It sucks that google doesn't even use keywords in my metadata for rankings either. So I can't even use that with them.
