I need to dinamically load some texts and gaps (input texts) from an XML file and show them in a panel. I found the documentation of panel on Adobe, how I can to automatically wrap the list of objects if the line is longer.
View 1 RepliesUsing loadVars and importing variables into Flash through a text file, is there a way to automatically list all of the variables that are in the Text file? For example say my text file had these variables:
&foo=chuck&
&mario=luigi&
&frodo=hobbit&
If I didn't know the names of the variables foo mario and frodo, could I somehow scan the text file for all variables and simply list:
chuck, luigi and hobbit?
I have an input text box that is about 400pix wide by 5 lines deep. Is there a way to automatically wrap the text when the user gets to the end of the box? As it stands, the text simply continues on the first line past the boundary box, until ENTER is pressed.

View 1 RepliesI just discovered that one of my old AS2 projects isn't working properly anymore in Firefox.I have a multiline TextField with htmlText that works fine in the Flash IDE, and fine in IE8, but in Firefox it behaves rather strange: each paragraph appears on exactly two lines, no matter how long it is! It always breaks before the last word of the paragraph, even if the whole of the line is shorter than the textfield width.
But this behaviour only shows up if the text is loaded in from an XML file! If the same text is simply assigned to a string, it works normally.
I'm using the following mxml code for displaying a list of some data. I built a custom renderer which can have variable height. Each time a new data arrives, the scroller should go to the end of the list. I registered to the events which triggers an array change.
It's working fine if the height of items is the same. But if this is not happening, the scroller is going a little bit above the end.
If the height of an item from the middle of the list is bigger, then the last items are not visible.
<s:Scroller width="100%" height="100%" id="scroller" horizontalScrollPolicy="off">
<s:DataGroup
id = "lstComments"

I am making some animations with shape tweening. I actually need it for my presentation.There are five layers of almost same shape of objects. The first two layers and shape tweening works as I expected.But from third layer, something weird happening. As I do shape tween, the layer becomes two moving objects: one is acting as I wish, but the other same object rotaing in x-direction.

View 1 RepliesI have a combobox and list component on the stage. The combobox has 3 selections. How do I get it so that each selection triggers the specific xml file to load into the list component? I can't get them to communicate to each other.
View 1 RepliesI don't want to visually arrange 3D models dragging them with the mouse, all I want is: Given a room of certain dimensions (L,W,H) and given a set of elements like beds, chairs, etc (with L,W,H dimensions, of course) I want to automatically arrange those elements to take advantage of the space as much as I can. So I want to be able to put as much furniture as I can in a given room. At the end I need to represent the arranged items visually, inside the room.
My first thought was to use an array of items and sorting it with array.sortOn(["l","w","h"] Array.NUMERIC) and then define a gap between the objects and make the maths to put the objects one next to another, etc. but that isn't a good approach because some items may be placed on top of another ones (boxes of the same size, boxes on top of tables, etc).
Why and when? Because I addChild to the stage 1000 times but only removeChild 800 times, and even so, stage.numChildren returns to 0 after all my objects have exceeded the stage boundary. I have to mention that I am moving objects from left to right (it's a game) and the object's X and Y properties eventually exceed the stage boundaries. Does something happen automatically then??? Like... events removed or something like that? This is a continuation of this thread of mine, where I initially thought addChildren has issues: [URL].

View 4 RepliesI'm looking for this actionscript that can close an already loaded external swf movie after it reaches at its last frame. Ok, what I meant is, I have a virtual tour on a site. The main/root file main.swf has some spots where you can click to load external swfs and each one of these external swfs plays video message. Now, my client wants me to make the external video message to be disappeared automatically when it reaches last frame (and, it should show the main scene then..)...

I have the action script that loads external SWFs on a button click, but I don't know how to make it so that the slides switch after a few seconds on their own as well as on a button click. I know it has to do with a timer - but I have no idea how to do that (i'm super new to AS) Here's the code I'm using so far:
var Xpos:Number = 0;
var Ypos:Number = 0;
var swf:MovieClip;

Code:
for (var obj:String in this)
{
trace(obj)
}
This works perfectly for me in as2. It goes trough all the objects on the stage or mc
i'm trying to make a Top Score history for a flash game, which i load from an XML file. The problem comes to when i want to update the XML file. how do i do that automatically without prompting the user (ofcourse). I want it to be saved automatically to the same directory as the flash file.
here's my code right now, but it prompts the user where it wants to be saved, which i don't want to happen:
var xml:XML = <XML>
<topScoreList>
</topScoreList>

Is there a way to access or iterate through a list of all objects exported to ActionScript from the Flash IDE? I'm looking to save myself some hassle by just iterating through selected MCs and processing them in a certain way, without knowing their names.
View 5 RepliesI have a stage with instances of bauble_mcs on it that are attached by the document class of the main timeline (can someone tell me what the right term is here? I don't know what I call the main time line in AS3).

Apparently it's relatively simple in AS3 using a stage mouseevent.MOUSE_OVER listener, but I need an answer in AS2, which doesn't have the mousevent listener. Is the only way to get a list of objects under the mouse cursor, to do a recursive list of every object in the file and do a hitTest to get true/false on each? There must be a simpler way, right? I've seen a bunch of comments on forums that say "use hitTest", but hitTest just returns true or false, and not with the name of an object you hit, so maybe there's a way to use it that I'm not considering?
View 4 RepliesI have a movie clip on my scene with a number of objects all prefixed with a keyword 'build' (e.g. 'build8934', 'build4920') - is there any method, array or object that I can access that would give me access to a list of objects for that movie clip?I'm intending to loop through an add events to an instance which matches the prefix 'build' and set additional properties based off that instance.x.
View 2 RepliesI'm used to using list variables/objects a lot from the Flash player in AS2, to make sure objects have really been removed, onEnterFrames have really been deleted etc, or even to make sure arrays are correctly populated etc, just for general debugging purposes.Now when clicking list objects or variables in AS3, I just get Level 0, and that's it.How do I see a list of all objects/variables in AS3?
View 14 RepliesI´m starting to learn flash cs5 a couple hours ago. Currently i´m learning how to use layers. Imagine that I put a rectangle and an elipse inside layer 1. Then I create a new layer with a photo. How can I see the list (root) of objects that are inside each layer? I know that I can use the outline color to visually identify them but is it possible to see the objects as a root?
[Code]....
So, events bubble up the display list. That's great if that's what you want. But what if you have objects on the stage that are not related that need to listen for events from each other? A simplified example:
var objA = new ObjA;
addChild(objA);
var objB = new ObjB;
[Code]....
Object B can listen for events dispatched by object C. But I also need object A to listen for events dispatched by object C. Also, these objects are created in different classes so I can't hard code references to each other.
how do I load library objects by string list using Flash and AS3? I need to understand string lists, arrays, and sprites better.

I'm creating an application where the user can select an object from a list of objects, and then put it on the main window.
I want to have the list of objects presented like in the web app : [URL]
The user can select a category, then the list of objects of that category is displayed, then he can drag and drop an object to the main window.
How is it possible to do this, having a list of objects?
I've asked this question before but had no answers... so here I go again I have a structure of objects: Top object A has as children (addChild children that is...) one or more objects B_1 to B_n. The B_n may in turn have one (1) associated object A' (Same type as top object, not displayed to begin with). When I click a B_n two things may happen:
1. If it has as associated object a A', put it on the stage (as child to B_n).
2. Otherwise it is a leaf and it does other things.
If '2' happens I want to collapse the tree, that is remove the top and all children of same type from being displayed. I thought a recursive approach should work:
