I have a PHP file that sends different amounts of variables back to flash depending on what the user has done.
I was wondering if there was a way of counting these variables in the event.target.data so I could make a for loop?
I am trying to create some charts in Flex/FlashBuilder 4.5The issue I have it that the information I wish to display is the number of events within an area. I am using HTTP service to access a rails controller which is returning an XML list of the events.I need to figure out how to chart the number of events, eg number of records returned. There is no numeric value within chart, as there would be if I was charting sales or prices for example.
View 1 RepliesI am trying to write a function that calculates the estimated time remaining for the movie to load. I have a function written that gets that information and I run it again with a setTimeout for 1 second then take the difference... blah blah blah. My issue gets me before i can get that calculating goodness off the ground. The first time i run the function without the setTimeout it works correctly. When i use the setTimeout, it returns the boolean value "1" signifying that it ran and didn't fail. Somewhere in there it loses the value returned by the called function. Any thoughts? I'm sure this may not be the most efficient method for doing what I want, but it bugs me nonetheless why this isn't working.Here's my code:
Code:
function getDeltaBytesLoaded(target_mc) {
var sample1:Number = new Number();[code]......
Code:
private function initRecentPics():void
{

I'd like to make a counter in AS3.0, in a document class file, for a Flash project, whereby the counter counts the number of movie clips added to the stage.The current document class is set up with a number of timers, an "ouber"timer, which activates three additional timers every 500000 milisecs, while the additional timers add different movie clips to the stage, each adds a different amount and at a different rate.And, i'd like to add some code to this AS file, to tell flash to count how many mcies and if 20 is the sum of the mcies on the stage, stop the timers and remove the mcies.
View 21 RepliesI'm trying to make a volume button for my site and it looks something like this:

i want the volume bar to start filled and when the user hits the minus button it lowers the volume and when it hit plus it takes the volume up well when I go down and up the volume bars start to get crazy...it just works when I go down the whole way and after it goes up the whole way, when I change direction on the midle of the path it jumps some bars...

I've found a simple count up script over on Actionscript.org
var count:Number = 0;
var maxNum:Number = 1250;
var num:Number = 1;
this.createTextField("txt", this.getNextHighestDepth(), 0, 0, 100, 50);
[code]....
This works great for my use, but now I am trying to figure out how to make it count down. I've tried changing everything to opposites like count=1250 and maxNum=0 (I think this would be the minNum instead), count+=num to count-=num, and count>=maxNum to count<=maxNum.
Is it possible to make a count up timer (from a specific date, birthday for exemple) from the count down timer ?
I've tried to change a few things (I'm very bad in programming) but I can't get the date properly.
If not, do somebody know a count up timer (.fla) that I can use ?
I've set up a holder flash file that checks an XML file every 30 secs, and if the content has changed loads a new movie into itself.

I'm creating a registration form that contains a 'chain-select' series of ComboBoxes. In other words, select an item in the first CB and display the results from a mysql query in the next CB.
PHP returns the results in an XML String (Code: Select allecho "returnXML="$returnXML; ). All is working great up to that point. What I would like to do is loop through the Code: Select allXMLList, running Code: Select alldataP.addItem({label: newData}); for each node. The problem is that the Code: Select allXMLList.length(); function is returning a value of 1.
Code: Select allxmlList.hasComplexContent() returns 'true' which, i believe, would indicate that the XMLList is being created successfully.
Here's a bare-bones version of the code that should be sufficient for solving this problem.
AS3:
Code: Select allimport flash.net.*;
import fl.data.DataProvider;
var dataP:DataProvider = new DataProvider();
var newData:String;

I think I have the recursion working properly, but I'm not able to get the originally requested item's property set to the right value.The goal here is to find the topmost parent (or "ancestor," depth = 0) of the nested item (a taxonomy based on Dictionary "parent" attributes), and assign that originally requested nested item's "ancestor" property accordingly.For instance, in
Apples
- Red
- - Empire
- - - Fresh
"Fresh"'s ancestor should be set to "Apples." While I'm attempting this on an "on-demand" and individual basis, I'm open to a solution that tags all children that are related to the same ancestor in one fell swoop or for statement, since that would probably be more efficient.
REQUEST
for (var mc:Object in taxonomy) {
var term = taxonomy[mc];[code]....
As you can see, while the recursion does find the root, the originally requested item still gets the default value.

The more I get into haXe and cpp the more I'm wondering this about as3. Iteration in as3 is easy in comparison to those languages. But if Array extends Object, overriding getters and setters to create what's basically an IntHash<string> or map<int,string>, and which only takes an int as a key, then why shouldn't the key iterator also return an int? Why does it return a string?
View 5 RepliesFor some reason I'm unable to output the time returned by the php. This code is on my website and viewrs from different countries see different times.

If an AS3 method returns a reference to a complex type, is there any way to make that 'readonly', like how you can have const member functions in C++? An architecture I want to use calls for a class building itself from a passed template object... and really the template object should not be modifiable. I'm currently forced to add call-back enumerators and/or lots of extra accessor methods.

i've been playing around with coldfusion for the past couple of days. I can make database queries within coldfusion components and call them in flash via flash remoting.what I can't seem to get my brain around is how do I use what is returned from a database to populate a menu (i.e.-attach movie clips based on rows from the database)?How can you do this without the structure found in XML? I know how to do that with Flash (looping through nodes, etc.)without the nodes, what the heck do you loop through? Do i need to use cold fusion to build some kind of structure first? if so does anybody know of a good tute or know how to do it and can explain the very basic concepts involved?
View 3 RepliesI have four movieclips on the stage. They can be dragged around. I have a class that creates a segment from two points, and returns the x-intercept, y-intercept, slope, and inverse slope of a linear function going through the two points.On every enterFrame() i create one segment for each pair of points, then the information is displayed in a bunch of dynamic text boxes.
The Problem: whichever object is sent over last overwrites the data from the first. I am creating two different objects with different names, but the first is being overwritten by the second. What is going wrong here?

Login Form: I send Login and Password from Flash to PHP. PHP accepts those values, checks them against the database, and then... returns something weird to flash. Instead of just returning "true" (if the password is correct) or "false" (if the password in not correct), PHP returns one of those values AND whatever comes after that value, including even the closing PHP tag ?> .... I know it because I trace the returned value in Flash. I need your help with my scripts. This is my Flash button, sending the values to PHP.

I'm using a Text Field component to pass the parameter (in this case a 'word') and a Text Area component is bound to the result (the 'definition').This works because the result is a String (which displays correctly when returned to the Text Area obviously). Now, I want to receive an Array as the result instead of a simple String. No surprise, the Array isn't displayed correctly in the Text Area..... it simply says "[object Object]". Can't do much with that....How can I receive this web service "result" in useful form? Can I use AS2 to set the value of an Array variable as the result from the web service (once it's finished)? If so, what's the syntax? FYI: I already know how to tell when the web service is done, just need the syntax for binding an Array variable to the result of the web service.
View 5 RepliesI am posting a thread regarding passing a javascript returned value into Flash. It is slightly complex due to the solution I am looking for must target Flash Player 6.
I have looked at various solutions including the Flash / JavaScript Integration Kit wrote by the guys at the former Macromedia. Unfortunately the solution involved includes various classes and then import them in Flash which produces the following error:

I have a form where a user can select up to three radio buttons and click submit. however if they don't select a radio from one of the groups (they dont care to answer the question or just missed it) the value of the radio button (I think) is null and gets returned as such using this code:
function Question1():Object{ return RadioButtonGroup(Q1R1.group).selection.value;}
Then, when they hit the submit button it sends the values to the database. This works fine, but only if they select a radio button for each group. If they missed one I get the following error:
"TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. at mid_fla::MainTimeline/Question1() at mid_fla::MainTimeline/clickHandler()"
When I did a trace on the value of Question1() it returns function Function() {}
how to check if the value returned is a null object reference or whatever and give it a default value if it is?
I have a datagrid with 7 colums. Because of their widths, I have to use an horizontal toolbar.When the datagrid is on its initial topleft position, no problem: if I click on the column0, the returned DataGridEvent.columnIndex is 0. If I click on column 3, the returned DataGridEvent.columnIndex 3, the dataField is perfect.
Now, I scroll to the right (scrollpolicy = auto) and the "old" column 3 is the first column I see now to the left in my DataGrid.If I then click on the "old" column 5, the returned DataGridEvent.columnIndex is .. 2. More than that, the returned dataField is the datafield of the "old" column 2.In fact, it seems the DataGrid forgets I scrolled to the right and think the newly visible top left column (3) is the zero one.
