ActionScript 3.0 :: Determining Which Data Is Being Loaded
Jun 5, 2010
- I have an array of ~200 buttons. - Each button pulls individual info from a file online:
/routes/801/
/routes/802/
/routes/803/
...- My pseudocode looks something like this:
Code:
var myURLReq:URLRequest = new URLRequest("/routes/"+butNum);
var myURLLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
myURLLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, infoLoaded);
[Code]....
My problem is this: Let's say the user clicks 5 buttons. Since data doesn't load immediately, I can't assume infoLoaded is being called in the same sequence in which the user clicks the buttons, but I need to know which file just loaded. Is there a property I can get from ev:Event so it'll give me the URL I used to load myURLLoader?

I am loading images into a movieClip via XML file. I was wondering if there is a way to find out the height and width of the image I am loading. I tried grabbing the movieClip's dimensions but it's only the original size of the clip before i loaded the image.

Any algorithm to see how many different variations there are within a set of data... For example, if I had:
1 1 1 1 2 3 3 2 1 1 4
The algorithm could figure that there are 4 different "types". I don't mean 4 numbers, because there are obviously more, but 4 varieties; of course, how to go about count how many of the different types.

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.

I have a container_mc that loads in a external MovieClip, lets call it video1.swf using the MovieClipLoader class (it actually contains a video of a 180sx drifting but thats neither here or there). What I'm trying to figure out, is a way to find out when this externally loaded clip terminates, then preload and then display another clip, called video2.swf. I call my preloader and load my external clips into the MCL class using a version I learnt in Senoculars preloader tutorials here [URL]

Code:
stop();
var imageRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("dylanTalking1.swf");
var imageLoader:Loader = new Loader();
[code]....
But it does not seem to work.

I'm working on a new website it's going to show a room & I think it would be kinda cool if this room had a window in in that outside showed the current local weather and portrayed day/night. I can make a script to check the weather on yahoo but I cant find a way of finding out the users location. It does't need to be exact, even just having the country will do.

I have a series of movieclips acting as buttons that load different flashvars video srcs onto the stage.When the swf loads --- the first button is added to the stage after a 20 sec Timer completes.As you click through each button, the one just CLICKED is removed and a new button is added in its place.All the buttons are set to dynamically be centered on the stage. However, the function that is positioning them is called BEFORE the first button is on stage, throwing the error (Error #2007: Parameter child must be non-null.)here is the code inside of the windowResize method which positions the buttons.
Code: Select allprivate function onWindowResize(e:Event):void
{
//position hidden buttons[code].....
Even though I've set up a boolean var and set it to true after the first button has been added to the stage -- the method still tries to find the first button and gives me a error saying that it must be non-null.Basically I want to make sure that it doesn't try and position the first button before it has been added to the stage. I'm not sure if encapsulating this method inside of another Timer is a good idea.

i have to create something that loads text dynamically and then you can input words and it determines if that word is in that dynamically loaded text. I have to output a statement for three different reasons.
1. If the word is not found
2. If the word is found
3. If the word is found, but it's not the same (Ex. You enter hello but the word in the text is Hello)
I have it all working for the moment using functions etc....but the one thing I am unsure about is how to determine whether the character is uppercase or lowercase or maybe there is another possible way so that I can print out the 3rd reason from about.(telling the difference from hello and Hello.)
The whole thing is based off a tutorial I found here: [URL]
just got rid of the find next button and added an output msg box.

I'm trying to solve what seems to be pretty basic task. However, I was unable to find a solution. how can I determine if the mouse is already over a certain object? The this.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, onOver); doesn't work because it will fire only what the mouse moves over from not being over. I'm trying to be able to tell if the mouse is over even without moving mouse, something like "this.isMouseOver()". Is it possible with some generic command without comparing the coordinates of the mouse and the object?

The request has been to modify the first item by including an FLV player. This I've done and have working without flaw.My trouble arises when users select any of the other 4 tabs and then attempt to return to the first tab where they should see a transition into the playing FLV. This is not happening after the initial load. It's been quite awhile since I've worked with AS but I figure this issue should be able to be resolved if I inject a condition to determine what item is selected.
The AS for the "accordian" is:
ActionScript Code:
import mx.transitions.Tween;
import mx.transitions.easing.*;
[code]....
This isn't working. In fact, it seems to be skipping the initial condition if(t == "welcome"). If the nave is determined within the var navs:Array, how then can one determine the selected location?

I have a graphical component and I am trying to obtain it's coordinates relative to the stage by using the localToGlobal or contentToGlobal methods.
My problem is when scrolling a Container, these methods do not return the correct values, but return the old unshifted coordinates of the graphical component. Later, after everything seems stable, when trying to use the methods they return correct value so this means at the time where I use them after scrolling not all information necessary in computing have been commited.
For the case of the Container class I have investigated and although it passes through the scrollChildren method, the computation is wrong.For the case of the Tree component when scrolling with the wheel, the methods return correct value, but when pressing the arrow button of the scroll-bar the methods return incorrect value.
Until now I have tried to listen the scroll and the update complete events when they are dispatched but without any success. So my problem is that after scrolling I would need to know a moment(event to be listened or something else) that I can call the methods and the output to be ok.I would like the final solution to be uniform.

This thumbnail loader has been the bane of my existence for the past several days. I finally have the images loading in correctly from the XML through an Array.
However, I can NOT for the life of me get them to load with equal distance from one another that corresponds with the varying image widths. I have set up a contentLoaderInfo in order to trace the widths of the images, but can't figure out how to associate them with their respective images in the array to appropriately define the x location.
ActionScript Code:
//XML Load in XML
var XMLURLLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
XMLURLLoader.load(new URLRequest ("ggcelebrity.xml"));

Is there a way to determine the direction in which the mouse-cursor is moving (up/down)?
Kinda like a constant listener, or something.
I only know about the onMouseMove-function, but it doesnt seem to come with parameters for direction.
Maby there is something that can be done with the:
_ymouse
..parameter. Something similar to:
_ymouse ++;
..to indicate the mouse-cursor is moving downwards.
