ActionScript 3.0 :: Controlling The Logical Flow Of URLLoader Listeners
Jan 5, 2010
I'm having a bugger of a problem that I can't seem to find the solution for. I have the following code block within my ActionScript:
Code:
myXmlLoader.addEventListener(HTTPStatusEvent.HTTP_STATUS,catchHttpError);
myXmlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onXmlLoad);
myXmlLoader.load(new URLRequest(rssURL));
When the feed truly fails, then onXmlLoad never runs (or it breaks; not sure which; either way I don't have an issue). However, when the feed doesn't fail, both catchHttpError AND onXmlLoad run which creates a problem. I want to set this up so that its either one OR the other.
As I was looking into the properties of HTTPStatusEvent.HTTP_STATUS, I noticed that I can check status, but the problem is that status can either be 200 or 0 and this is not exclusive.

use CFC's via CF8 to interact with an Access db. In 1 screen of my Flash8 application, I have to update up to 7 rows in a table depending on whether a screen field was filled in and each of these updates is an identical activity. Ideally, my code might look something like this:
for(var i = 1; i < 8; i++)
{
if (fieldi != "")

I'm laying out my code differently for my latest project. I am making a game, and I am keeping the Flash API stuff in a seperate class from the game logic.It's an aproach I've never tried before, and it's made me realize just how little I understand good OOP design.
what I'm trying to acomplish is this:
the Game class contains the step by step program flow of the game. it makes calls to a GameUtils class and DrawEngine class, these other classes have the Flash API stuff in themSo what is the best way to get the game class to control the other 2?
currently I have my program flow like this:
1. display splash image
2. add 'play' button
3. recieve click from button -->
[code]....
a more specific issue comes up at step 3: ..how do I have the game class progress without using a listener?I'm thinking of creating a method of the Game class that simply increments a step counter of a switch/case statement and keeping each step of my program flow in each case.

can I somehow create logical groups of objects without actually combining them into symbols which would appear in the libraryI was thinking of this approach
ActionScript Code:
var vertFloatGroup:Object = new Object(); // the logical object
vertFloatGroup.addChild(splashPhoto); // splashPhoto is an existing instance on stage
vertFloatGroup.addChild(nav); // same for nav
interact with the group as a whole this above tells me that addChild is not a function...

I got the following code from Adobe's 'Serverside ActionScript Language Reference'. Here it is:
myLoadVars = new LoadVars();myLoadVars.onLoad = function(result){ trace("myLoadVars load success is " + result);}myLoadVars.load(http://www.someurl.com/somedata.txt);
My questions is, if the purpose of the onload event handler is to confirm if the load operation is a sucess,than should it not be placed after the load command? In the above code, the onload event handler appears before the load and yet it works.

I've made a mailform and having probs with te textfields.Somehow when I use the tab it selects the left textfields from top till bottom, then the textfields that are layed out to the right. How can I amke sure the tab makes the logical order when someone whants to fill the form.
I already used setfocus to the first textfields so the cursor starts with the first to fill in textfield.
How tab form let's say tekstfield name to adres to email(variables).

I have two components in my movie,how to write out the code for the listeners.Is it possible to write one listener that listens for changes in both components or do I have to write a separate listener for each? How would this look like written out?

I need to make a parser to be able to extract logical structure from a text input in order to construct a query for some web service.
I tried to use regular expressions but it gets really complicated to handle imbrication logic
ex:
( (foo1 and bar) or (foo2 and bar2) ) and ( (foo3 and bar3) or foo4 ) and "this is quoted"
the result should be something like this:

I have completely hit a wall. Here's what I'm after. I have two sets of radio buttons, each of which controls what loaded swf appears on stage. Then, depending on which button is clicked in group one and which button is clicked in group two, a third swf appears. I can access the value of each radio button, and I'm passing it into a variable (I think - the trace command works) but when I drop it all together into an if/else statement, no data is passed.
Here's the code:
//printArea is a movie clip on stage, which has dynamic mc's attached via code
var thisFront;
//function for what happens when fronts radio buttons clicked
frontListener = new Object();
frontListener.click = function(evt) {

I'm trying to create an XML driven menu for my portfolio site. I'm basing the code concept off Senocular's tutorial on this site, but I'm basing the aesthetic/operational idea off portfolio menus such as those seen on [URL] and basically every other portfolio site that uses small thumbnails as icons to present larger versions of the work.
Functionally, I think I've got it down (it's basically the tutorial code with the submenu functions stripped out), but I'm struggling with trying to figure out how to display my attachMovie'd items in a logical row/column fashion... i.e. if I had 7 items in my XML file and wanted the row to exist in threes, I'd have two rows of three and one row of one.
I'm sure there's a very simple solution to this that I'm simply overlooking. I was just thinking about trying to implement this via some type of counter/multiplier for the _y property.

I am currently working on a Flash socket client for a pre-existing service/standard. The service uses TCP flow control to throttle itself and the Flash socket is reading in everything as fast as it can despite not being able to process it as fast as it's being taken in. This causes the bytesAvailable on the socket to keep increasing and the server never knows that the client has fallen behind.In short, is there any way to limit the size of bytesAvailable for a Flash Socket object or throttle it in some other way?

I must be missing a step. I've set up a text container and font parameters correctly, and I've selected multiple columns. The text, however, won't flow from one line to the next. I'm working from Classroom in a Book, Lesson 7, on Using Text. I've never encountered this problem before in other Adobe programs.

I am trying to get my text progression to flow right to left but flip it so that instead of tiliting your head to the right to read it you would tilt your head to the left. I had originally transformed and flipped the text box which worked for english text. But there is an option to change the language to chinese and when you do, the chinese character display upsidedown. Do you know how to handle that?

Something that is similar to the Cover Flow in iTunes.
I can use Adobe Flash, Flex, or pure html/javascript.
HOWEVER, I need a pointed to production ready code. I've looked at plenty of examples in both Flex and HTML that aren't ready for prime time. No demo code needed.
Here's my requirements for production ready:
1) Memory leaks are under control.
2) Works like a river with larger data sets, paging in sub-sets in some set number. The component/code needs to be able to handle 100+ items to flow through, preferable up to 500.

I'm stepping through my code to figure out why a certain function takes more time to run the first time it gets called than on successive calls. The code flow for each function call is the same up to when a dispatchEvent gets called. I'm pretty sure it's different afterwards, as that call takes a lot more time the first time around. Unfortunately, I have no idea which other parts of the code chew on this specific event and thus cannot step through the handling of such event.
The question: is there a way to either figure out who handles such events or magically step through the handling code without explicitly setting breakpoints there?

Specifically, I have a demo of a flash game (sort of super mario style). In it I have two types of weapon - a simple fire and big fireball. I reviewed the code in order to learn flash better [I am very new - since around monday this week].
I saw that the program has a variable that keeps track of the number of uses I have left in each weapon. I tried to review all the places this variable was used but I couldn't find where it affects the drawing onto the screen.
I even tried removing the variable declaration and then testing it - so I may find all references to the variable -- By the way any convinient way of finding all references to a variable/method/class [I am using ADOBE FLASH CS5.5]?
Also, I tried changing the variables starting value to "12" and I noticed that when I test the game, the weapon has 12 uses indeed.
So my problem:1. It seems that this variable is somehow affecting the drawing. Yet, I don't know how it does so since all the code I have found that uses this variable has nothing to do with drawing. It is all, logic, like
if(var <= 0){
var--;
} else{
return false;
}
Where is this influence coming from?get all references to a variable[like in eclipse ctrl+shift+g]?

I have a project where I'm loading some HTML into an HTML-enabled dynamic textbox, along with some images, using the img tag. The problem I have is that no matter what I do, the text tries to flow down one side of the image (depending on whether I have the image set to align 'left' or 'right'). I don't want this. I want the text to sit under the image, not flow around the side. I've tried everything I can think of, and I just can't seem to achieve this.

There's a lot of talk of how the new Event Flow makes for easier communication between classes.This sounds swell,but nowhere is it properly explained. Every example I find concerns dispatching events within the same class or looped through a customEvent, but I need a way to tap into this Event Flow for backward communication.I have a mainGUI document class that distributes my application subclasses.How do I set up a listener within mainGUI that gathers certain events from any of its children or grand-children? And how can I use this line to post object properties?

My goal is to shoot a bullet everytime I click on ship. What happens, in fact, is that If I click on it once, the bullet is shot, but if I click on it twice before the first bullet is off the screen, the first bullet literally stops(it does not disappear, only stops) and the second bullet is shot.
public var ship:Ship = new Ship();
public var bullet:Bullet = new Bullet();
stage.addChild(ship);[code]...

a couple of month ago i saw a picture showing the responsibility of the different actors in the as3 robotlegs frameworks. The picture was great for beginners who didn't know which actor is responsible for what task. It was like: "Do you want to bind a button to an event -> use the mediator"[URL]...

What is the proper OOP method of communicating between classes that are not on the display list?
For example: The Document class instantiates a new class just for loading in different XML files. This XmlLoading class should let the document class know when the xml has been loaded and parsed so that the interface can be built out.
From my understanding, events can only be listened to and dispatched through the display list, but since there is nothing visual with this xml loader, it doesn't make sense to me to make this class extend a sprite and add it as a child of the document class.

I've got 4 button images that drop in when the movie starts, and when you click on an image it loads in an XML image flow. Problem is, when I click the "go back" button, it goes to frame 2 to start over, but the XML gallery/image-flow won't leave the stage. Link is below, code is attached.I've been pulling my hair out for a few days now

I m building a little application, im design the graphic in Flash and im using Flash Builder for the Programming Side. I have 5 MovieClip inside a Sprite (the container), and i want to listen for MOUSE.CLICK. I add the event listener to the Sprite, instead of one for MovieClip, and its working good like this.
What if inside the Sprite (the container) i have also a TextField and exclude it from the event flow?

An existing (though incomplete) FLEX3 project was given to us to finish (always a nightmare).It is quite small but highly abstracted (contains well over 150 files to support only about 10 page views). I'm attempting to trace a single mouseclick event through this maze.
Is there a way to print out an actionscript trace and/or component flow using the debugger (or any other tool that anyone knows of)? The flash.txt file appears worthless since it doesn't contain ActionScript calls and/or component flows.

I'm looking to simply append the following text to an existing spark.components.TextArea's text flow:
<b>something</b>: hello world
I have attempted to do this using the following code, but nothing happens:
this.textarea.textFlow.addChild(TextConverter.importToFlow(
"<b>something</b>: hello world",
TextConverter.TEXT_FIELD_HTML_FORMAT));
How can I accomplish this? I know in the old mx.controls.TextArea component, I could simply do:
this.textarea.htmlText += "<b>something</b>: hello world";
How can I do this with the new TLF/FTE API expressed in the spark.components.TextArea component?

say an application has panel and panel has button and textField or textArea. we click on a button to hit a service say via cairngorm framework.
The Events lifecycle follows the capture-target-bubble cycle in the display hierarchy like the MouseClick event on button will call the handlers for the listeners attached to button and/or panel and/or application and/or stage since the flow moves in this direction.
How do the event on non hierarchy works e.g the result from the service fires a custom event DataRecieved. we have a listener attached to the panel/button for this dataRecieved event. How do this listener gets the information? how the event lifecycle comes into this picture?
