ActionScript 3.0 :: ComboBox Populated With Friends From XML File
Nov 15, 2009
I have a combobox that needs to be populated with friends from an XML file. Once I've selected a name from the dropdown list, I need several text fields to be populated with information contained in several nodes of the XML. I was successful in accomplishing this with a very simple XML, but once my XML became more complex, I could no longer access specific nodes.
Here is my XML:
Code:
<myfriends><friends>
<friend name = "frank">
<outdoorsports>
<camping> No </camping>
<fishing> Sometimes </fishing>
[Code] ....
I have text fields labeled : Goes Camping, Likes to Hunt, Hikers, Married, Plays xbox360, etc.... When I select "Frank" from the drop down I need all these individual text fields to populate with his info. I can post the code that I found on the web for the simplified XML file that works if necessary.
I am building an application that uses a series of combo boxes that are populated by XML.The XML nodes that populate the combo box have three attributes name, file and id. Name is the label that displays in the CB. File is not important now. ID is a value that I would like to set a variable to upon the user selecting a certain item. This is my question.I need to set a variable to the value that is determined by the ID attribute in the XML node upon a user selecting an item in the combo box. For example. user chooses France from the CB, the variable "id" is set to say 5 which is the value of the ID attribute in the xml node where France is the "name" attribute.
I would like to populate a combobox from XML file in Flash. Then, when a list item of combobox is pressed then thumbnail image of that particular category is being loaded in a movieclip from XML file.
I spent a hard time to achieve this, but there is no success.
I used this code so far to accomplish this task.
Code: var myXML = new XML(); myXML.ignoreWhite = true; myXML.onLoad = function(loaded){
I tried making a multidimensional Vector that was populated by other Vectors that are populated by Strings.
ActionScript Code: var myVect:Vector = new Vector.<Vector>; for (i = 0; i < 10; i++) { myVect[i] = new Vector.<String>; }
This is giving me a Type Coercion error, even though the Vectors all have the correct object types in them. Is the error because I'm putting a Vector full of Strings into another Vector?Also, I'm working with large amounts of data, so using Arrays aren't an option because I need all the performance I can get.
i am trying to create a list of buttons populated from an xml file they populate but i DONT want them to align with x starting at 0.[code]i want to be able to start the first buttons _x at lets say 100 or something and then space them out 30 px apart.
I'm using Flash 8 and I'm trying to load new text into a dynamic text box already populated by a xml file.
I have a home page with 5 different buttons on the top menu.
1. Home 2. News 3. Tips and a few more.
Upon my home page loading, I have a dynamic text box with the welcome text which is populated by my xml file, here is my code for AS2:
function loadXML(loaded) { if (loaded) { _root.home = this.firstChild.childNodes[0].childNodes[0]; _root.tips = this.firstChild.childNodes[1].childNodes[0];
[Code].....
What I want to do is load the news and tips text into the same dynamic text box on the home page when the news or tips button is clicked, so I don't have to load a whole new swf for each category thus making the site faster.
What code would I have to use to clear the text from the xml file and how would I load my new text upon clicking the button?
how to get the user status, but the app I currently working on need to get user's friends statuses. Can I do this without needing user's friends to approve the app? I still can't find how to to this in the graph API.
I am about to start on a project for a friends web site, he would like a simple flash animation and this of course will be viewed in Internet Explorer once it is posted to his site. My question is; if I create some of the imagery in photoshop save it as a .png and use it within my Flash movie will it read correctly in Internet Explorer?
Is it possible to get a friendslist in that dialog, like you get when making a apprequest? Facebook.ui("apprequests", data, postOnFriendsWallCallback, "popup"); Or is there another way to have the user choose one or more of his friends and posting a message on their wall using fb dialogs?
How can I add in my facebook application invite friends. First of all I use actionscript, in order to handle invite issue I searched so many sites but I've got nothing, cuz facebook doesn't support invite actions. then I learnt that javascprit can handle this, however I couldn't find anything valuable about that
i am trying to write a facebook app using as3 and the facebook-actionscipt graph api library i am having trouble getting a user's friends list, while i have no problem getting a user's other data (favorite movies, for example)
[code]...
ok after doing some more searching i find that getting friends-of-friends with any api is impossible this is very interesting - you can access friends-of-friends manually as a facebook user, but not automaticallythis means it is not a privacy issue at all - it is something Facebook wants to keep for itself only - for the "People You May Know" section in the facebook page
I'm absolutely new to programming and just managed to learn the basics of ActionScript 3. Now, I would like to learn how to post on my Friends' Walls via the as3 SDK using the UI class (taken from a nice Tutorial):
I trying to populate a combobox from a .php file and return the values of the selection. I have the .php set up to where it outputs something like
&artists=anartist,anartist2,anartist3, etc..they have names..
I already have the combobox set up to where it displays
anartist anartist2 anartist3
after you click the dropdown arrow..How would I get it to return a the numerical value for the artist (ex: anartist would be "0" since it is first in the list) and put it into a variable so that when it is selected it could be placed into an eval() function to create a variable such as "albumcover0" to be loaded through a function. I have been reading tutorials for hours to no avail. I want a single function to produce the number from the selected artist and place it into a variable, then go through all of the loadImage(for the "album image") etc functions..they will be functions that I have made already previously and call all of them with the number in the called fuctions (ex: loadImage(0)) where "0" is the number derived from the variable out of the combo box. Ive tried tons of tutorials, I think that it has something to do with me using flash mx 2004, and as2 turned on.
It is populated with Countries in the labels and email addresses in the data.I want the data (email adresses) to go to the php file, not the labels. In the php file it would use the addresses to mail the form to.I can trace the data, but cannot get it into the php file.
AS code: country_txt.addItem({label:"CHOOSE YOUR COUNTRY"}); country_txt.addItem({data:"ega-maui@hawaiiantel.net", label:"Headquarters/International"});
The movie works fine when there is 2 frames and there is a button with "play" command, on the first frame, what leads to the second frame. What I need is the code from second frame, working on first frame. When I do that, it loads nothing to the combobox? Sample: [URL]
First frame actions: [AS]loadVariablesNum("replaycars.php", 0); stop(); [/AS]
Second frame actions: [AS] stop(); arv = 0; function uuenda() { [Code] ....
I'm using Flash CS3 and want to create a custom ComboBox. I've followed the steps outlined in "Editing component skins in a new document" (http:/[url]...), but every time I get to the step where I drag the ComboBox Assets folder from the HaloTheme.fla library into my library, if I test movie at that point my combobox has become an unclickable white rectangle with no label, button or anything.
I'm trying to set a specific list item in a mx combobox to have a custom item renderer, the problem is that I cannot do this via mxml, it needs to be done via actionscript at a later stage, eg: combobox gets created, combobox gets populated, user does other tasks, combobox needs to set one or more items in the combobox to have icons (via item renderer)..
I can do this via the onChange event, but it only applies the icon when the combobox is opened and there is a slight delay so you can see the icon being added.
**Warning** The linkage identifier 'ComboBox' was already assigned to the symbol 'ComboBox', and cannot be assigned to the symbol 'GUI MC/Combo Boxes/abc', since linkage identifiers must be unique.**Warning** The linkage identifier 'ComboBox' was already assigned to the symbol 'ComboBox', and cannot be assigned to the symbol 'GUI MC/Combo Boxes/def', since linkage identifiers must be unique.
Both of my ComboBoxes has the same identifier.I could not change the identifier through the properties tab because it is greyed out.
I'm trying to load an XML file from the internet in a CD-ROM flash application and seem to be getting nowhere. The XML object needs to retrieve the results of a PHP script with 2 variables. The first being T (territory), and the second TYPE (type). The TYPE variable is currently fixed. In this situation, we will consider its value: 'bsc'. I have tried an on(change) handler on the ComboBox, and gotten it to at least produce the correct URL with both GET variables, but the XML object refuses to load.
I have tried using trace() outputs, the debugger, and every permutation of my code I can think of ... but with no results. I do know that my PHP code is working properly, and IS generating the output I exactly expect. What am I doing wrong, is there an access restriction between a local Flash file and the internet?

When trying to do indexOf on a "static" array, it works, doing the same thing on an array populated with xml, i always get the result = -1Static Way
var myarray:Array = new Array("Pub Pepsi","Shadow E-Bike","Icon Air Craft","Test","La page 4","La page 5","La page 6","La page 7"); var myresult:* = myarray.indexOf("Icon Air Craft");
First, I would like to format the text... bold, font size, etc...Second, I would like to concatenate the first and last name to appear on the same line without space in between caused by two text fields. I tried the following, but it didn't work.
I am working on a new rotator for an RSS feed. One of the fields I am displaying in the rotator is an article description. After the description, I would like to add a hyperlink that links to the page referenced. The link path, as well as all the data displayed, exists in the XML RSS file. I would like to append the link to the end of the article description and to display it in the form of the word "More".
Currently I am pulling in the description fine. I would now like to add the link, but I'm not sure how to append it. I don't know if I should create a button and try to put that on the end of the XML data, or is there a way to just create a text variable with a value of "More" and assign it a URL request.
I have a Web site here: [URL] If you click on 'Portfolio', there are two columns which read from text files, CSS files, and an XML file to populate the page. Yesterday, when I looked at this page, the 'Links' column was populated, but the 'Tutorials' column was not; today, neither column is populated. Last week, the 'Tutorials' colum was populated, but not the 'Links' column.
On my stage i have a scroll pane (instance name scrollPane).I have a container which i populate with dynamically created clips (instance name faveContainer). The clips are in this case, just thumbnails pulled from a folder.I want to push that container into the scroll pane once its built up.Heres where i am currently....Im guessing that scrollPane isnt picking up the faveContainer off the stage, but out of the library, but while that might be the case, i don't know what to do about it.I saw kirupa example, and attempted to copy its behaviour, but, well, cant!
Code: var garmentFaves = new Array("3","4","1","5","3","2","1","6","3","4","1","6","3","4"); //var garmentFaves = _root.favesArray;
I have an input box where a user enters in a temperature in Celsius and a dynamic text box where the converted Fahrenheit value appears. All is working well, but I want to keep the user's entered Celsius number constant in the input box and not disappear; that way they can't forget the original number they entered to get the conversion.
