I want to have data called up when a certain number is entered, like a html page with text and pictures. If the correct item # is entered, the information is pulled up. Is this a good application for flash and actionscript? or for something like javascript and ajax? I'm brand new to both, but i'm very willing to learn.

View 1 RepliesI have a textfield problem. I created a textfield (for input) and wanted to make some calculations using entered numbers. But it recognizes the inputs as a string. For example;
listen=new Object();
listen.onKeyDown=function(){
if(Key.isDown(Key.ENTER)){[code]....
if I enter 12 in the textfield and press Enter, result is 123, not 15. How can i make it to recognize input as a number?
options as I wish to learn how one would create a tool that would provide allow the end user to enter numbers, in some predetermined/static fields. The tool would then use this data and provide the answer.Simply put, i'm looking to create a basic ROI calculator (Return on Investment).

View 2 RepliesI am using an mx:DateField in Flex and it works nice with the date picker, but I also need it to be editable, so I set editable="true". The problem is that now the user can enter anything they want - even though I have a formatString="YYYY-MM-DD" set. The date picker honors this format, but if the user enters in the format MM/DD/YYYY they can - or they can even enter garbage data.
I realize I can set up a data validator to check that it is a valid date and in the appropriate format as per the flex docs, but I was hoping to have something I have seen in other languages where the text field would show something like "0000-00-00" and the user clicks in to the field and it allows them to change only the digits (the zeros) and can not type any alpha characters or add/remove any length.
Iam Jennifer, Iam having a doubt in Flash, I hope that you are going to solve my problem, Iam taking 3 Static text fields as Name, Age and Country and besides each and every static text fields i have taken 3 input text fields with different instance names, when i enter my Name, Age and Country details in the input text fields and after entering those details if user clicks the submit button the data should be send to some mail address, is it possible?

I want to separate the data from the PHP call to Different CollectionArrays So that I can use the data for a bar-graph;
I created a static version of the bar-graph and separated the Collection array manually I don't want this done manually I need to do it dynamically. So what I am trying to understand is where to put the event-listener how to add to a collectionArray then once the collection array(s) are built. use that information to build the bar graphs...

Not sure what to call this. I want a function to fire at a certain increment of a given var number, without having to say if (var >= 1000 && <= 2000 || var > = 2000 && <=5500){ etc etc etc. for example I want it to fire when it gets past 1000, then fire again when it gets past 2400 so on, and so fourth. To make matters more clear, im trying to make player experience that launches the level up screen at the given numbers ^^ I dont even know where to begin with how to do this, is it an array function?
View 6 RepliesI'm trying to call different instances by just using a different number at the end of them. The instances are already on the stage. I'm going like this: Code: Select allvar i:int = 1;

var isTurning:Boolean = false;
var scset:Boolean = false;

basically, what it does is when i click, a block box (textholder), fades in, then after a few seconds (in this case, 2), it fades out again.. it works fine on the first click, but after more clicks, the interval duration seems to be getting smaller, up to a point where it is zero, and nothing happens.

how can I add number to a current variable in actionscript. My variable has data coming though php(numeric data) so I want to create an if statement to say this:
If the data number(let's use 5) is equal to 5+any number then do something.
Should be pretty simple but I can't seem to figure it out right now, how can I say "any number" with code?
ActionScript Code:
if(myVar == myVar+1){
//do something;
}
Thing is the + number is uknown... so + 1 may not work cause the number may be higher than 1.
I'm having a total brain freeze this Monday morning... ugh. Anyhow. I'm trying to convert a string from an XML file to a number so that I can use it in equations. It isn't working. What is the proper syntax to do that?
This is the relevent code:
Code:
xArray[z] = xmlNode.childNodes[z].childNodes[2].firstChild;
xDest = xArray[0];
trace(Number(xDest))
Not working, it returns NaN. What stupid mistake am I making?
I'm trying to get the sum of two number values in an XML file, so I'm doing this:
PHP Code:
_root.gallery_height = myGalleryXML.firstChild.attributes.height; // '200'
_root.spacing = myGalleryXML.firstChild.attributes.vertical_spacing; // '20'
_root.bar_y= _root.gallery_height+_root.spacing;
trace(_root.bar_y); //outputs 20020
The answer is supposed to be 220, but it comes out at as 20020 because the interpreter treats then as strings.
I can fix the problem by casting the type using the Number() method this way:
PHP Code:
_root.gallery_height = myGalleryXML.firstChild.attributes.height; // '200'
_root.spacing = myGalleryXML.firstChild.attributes.vertical_spacing; // '20'
_root.bar_y= Number(_root.gallery_height)+Number(_root.spacing);
trace(_root.bar_y); //outputs 220
This works fine, but is it *the right* way of doing it? Why is Flash treating my numbers as strings?
I had to manipulate a large number of XML and GIF files. In this case I will need to use a compressed file, like zip. if the flash can access this type of data like the Java do.
View 1 RepliesI import XML data in order to fill an AdvancedDataGrid (using Flex 4.5). This ADG is correctly filled with the data, columns display the right information etc. etc.
I would like to summarize this ADG using
<mx:SummaryRow summaryPlacement="group">
<mx:SummaryField2 dataField="Cost" label="amount" summaryOperation="SUM">
</mx:SummaryRow>
But there is a problem! Indeed, the 'Cost' data are imported as 'Strings' and that is why I cannot do the SUM... I just get a nice 0 as a result! I would like to convert these data into Numbers, so that the addition can be processed. This conversion has to be done before filling the ADG I think.
I already tried to implement a custom summaryOperation but was unlucky...
public function calculateSummary(data:Object, field:SummaryField2, rowData:Object):void
{
var dataField:String = field.dataField;
[Code]...
The Alert always displays a void message, the data are not transmitted to this function I think
There is another thing: the user can insert new data in the XML dynamically and that insertion has to update the SUM result.
When adding Numbers, AS3 seems to add incorrectly?:
Code:
var num:Number = 5.4;
for(var i:int=0; i<100; i++)

Why do I get Numbers into the tens of decimal points?
I am running an if statement to determing whether the data entered by a user is a number or a combination of letters and/or numbers. How could I determine whether the data is just numbers? Like:
PHP Code:
if (textbox == notanumber) {
do something
}
I have tried using NaN and "undefined" without much success.
