ActionScript 3.0 :: Display Hyperlink Pulled In From XML File
Mar 11, 2011
I've got a problem displaying a hyperlink pulled in from an xml file. This is my AS:
Code:
var xmlData:XML;
var xmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
xmlLoader.load(new URLRequest("app1_text.xml"));
xmlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, xmlProcess);
function xmlProcess(e:Event):void {
[Code] .....
All the other text displays fine, but the hyperlink text doesn't display at all - and I'm not getting any errors.
I was trying to produce an output of an array mixed up and limit the number. how that is done. Now need to incorporate into a quiz application which pulls in data via, XML, displays that, and shows the number of questions. So if 50 questions are in the XML file 50 questions will be displayed in the quiz. What I am trying to do is use the XML file as a question pool and randomly select say 30 questions out of the file to display. no luck so far, but I am making progress!
Does anyone know how to create a hyperlink on an swf file? i think it can be done using actionscript during the creation of the fla, but i want to see if it can be hyperlinked AFTER creation, just using the website code.
Because I have altered the images in a slideshow using flash derived from a website and its working properly but I can't remove the hyperlink from that swf file. I'm not good at flash action script. The php code to embed in the page is: <?php
I want to do is add a simple hyperlink in my xmlhtml hyperlink in my xml.how to do a hyperlink in xml.This is what I do know,you can add the <a href="http:[url]...but that does not work for me,when i save and preview my fla, it takes away my scroll bar that i have.I have also seen somwhere you can use the <?[[DATA tag, but this aswell doesnt work for me in my FLA, is there somewhere i need to reference hyperlinks before I can modify my xml?
I have been given an .swf file that needs to be added to an HTML page - no problem. That file then needs to link to another site. Is this something that needs to be added to the file before it is loaded onto a website?
I've seen the following code provided in other threads, but either it is meant to be used when creating the file, or I'm not using it correctly when I try adding it to my .asp page.
on (release) { getURL ("<URL here>", "_blank"); }
If I'm not trying to do something impossible, edit the code below to make this file link:
I have designed a image slide show with dissolving effect and all images comes externally through xml file.go through my codes. every thing is going aright. Now I need to hyper link individual image with individual links.here is my xml file details...
I have a swf (members.swf) that loads a list of members using an xml. In the information text for each member I would like to put a hyperlink that would load another swf (image_gallery.swf) that also uses an xml file. Ideally, I would like to create an xml for each member (member1.xml, member2.xml, member3.xml etc..) holding their image gallery information BUT I would like to use the same swf (image_gallery.swf) to load each member's image gallery according to their xml file data.
So basically I would like link to a swf file and specify the xml to be loaded for that swf in the hyperlink.
I want to hyperlink to a zip file using a button in flash. Is there anyway i can do this? the GetURL bit doesnt work. (at least not in mozilla). The final file will be a projector so it has to work from there. When a person clicks on a image, it links to a high-rez tiff in a zip file.
I have attempted to have a hyperlink text using actionscript:
[Code]...
when I run the code it always creates a new window to open up the file in. I have even attempted to switch out _self with _top, _parent, and _blank, always with the same result. I simply want the file to open up in the same window.
I'm pulling data from an XML file into dynamic text fields in Flash. I have a field where I want to pull in a different url for each node, but display the same text and I'm not sure how to set that up.
I am trying to have 3 image holders that will constantly dissolve between 2 images. (different images in each holder). And that I could change the images and the delay of the dissolve via XML. I have managed to create a basic 1 holder that will dissolve images which are being pulled via XML. (through a great tutorial). But I can't break it down to 3 holder.
I've successfully (finally) been able to pull imagery from an external XML list and display it on stage and even add it to be pulled randomly. What I'm hoping to be able to do, is after the first image comes in, using a mask bring another on top of it with a vertical blinds effect.And alternate back and forth with this technique. My thought process is two XML lists being pulled alternately? (I'm probably WAY off.) I've seen a couple templates out there, but 1. I'm a financially strapped programmer and 2. I wouldn't learn anything that way anyways.
ps. I might include the code that I have thus far in a little bit.It's nothing more than a modified version of an XML slideshow from another tutorial site.
I have made a very simple xml menu, from opensource codes, that loads a description with each image. This is very good sure, but I really need several descriptive fields (ex. fabric, style #, and size), and on seperate lines, that is, in seperate text fields.
So my question is: How do I add three descriptive fields to be pulled (via xml) into my flash document?
I have a directory of PDF's that I am loading the names of dynamically using PHP: My PHP file looks like this:
[Code]...
Now the code works perfect and it displays the name of all the pdf's but I want to somehow make a button on top of each displayed pdf that makes it clickable. The code is already storing the name of the PDF's so it should be pretty easy to do a getURL("pdfname","blank") or whatever I just don't know where to start. Here is the SWF output: [URL]
I have a 3D carousel that's displaying some web pages. When they're clicked on they come forward and there's a paragraph of text displaying some info (that's pulled from the .xml).I would like to have a link after the paragraph to the web page that it's displaying that says something like "Launch" or "Click Here to View Site"So can I add that link into my .xml document?
Ok im new to using arrays but here is my question I have a word list Array and it brings up a random word from the array. Is there a way to store each word used from the array to compair to so that the same word dose not get used twice... or even just remove the word from the array list till there is nothing in the list? Im using flash CS4 in AS3 for player 10.
I'm trying to get a preload movie clip (progress_clip) to show up when an image is being pulled from the xml data bank and then shut the visiblity to false when the image is done loading. I have no idea what I'm doing wrong any bump in the right direction would be very cool.

I wanted to make a visulisation based on sound, like a winamp plug in.The only thing that even remotely looks like it uses sound information is the sound players on FlashKit. (although they might be faking it)url...Is there any information that can be pulled from a currently playing sound in Flash to base a animation off ?
Code: var myArrow:ArrowMovieClip = new ArrowMovieClip(); var vectorDisplayObject:DisplayObject = stage.addChild( myArrow );
I used the code above to create an instance of an arrow graphic that I made using the line tool (the graphic is embedded in a movie clip). I now want to add different colored fills and different stroke sizes and colors using code. Is it possible to do this with pre-drawn vector graphic objects, or is it only doable if I create the arrow with code using things like lineTo and curveTo?
I am using a flipbook Flash/Actionscript 3.0 framework for a digital magazine[url]...
You can have videos embedded in the pages of the flipbook, but they can not be display fullscreen like Youtube videos, for example.
The flipbook can also import swf files to display as pages of the flipbook, so another way of embedding videos into a page of the flipbook would be to have the video player in the swf page you are embedding. This gives you more control over the style and the positioning of the video.
My question is: Is there a way with AS3.0 to togle the embedded video from normal predefined size to fullscreen and back?
This code works perfect when testing, and it works perfect viewing the SWF, but when you view the HTML file with the SWF embedded, it doesn't display the text file content.
Why doesn't this code go through the XML file in order? It should go through the XML file and display the images/comments as they are ordered in the XML file.
Code: function loadXML(loaded) { if (loaded) {[code].....
When I use swfobject (or, for that matter, publish from Flash)...if my HTML file is in the same folder as my Flash .swf (called "bin")...the flash file displays as a blank white page. I can tell the .swf is on the page, because when I right-click I see the flash context menu...however, the swf is blank. So the path isn't written incorrectly.If I move the HTML file inside the "bin" folder and change the path from "bin/myFile.swf" to "myFile.swf" everything works again...what gives?I think it might have something to do with using the Loader class...I am using loaders to loader external .jpeg files. But I don't know what to do about this other than to keep my HTML files in my "bin" folder which is a bit of a pain.
I recently found out that the flash swf's I was trying to load were in as2 which is causing a great deal of problems. The sad reality is I need to load these up somehow, or find some alternative.What are my options for loading as2 into as3 from a remote source (different domain). I'm using Flashbuilder 4.5 as my development tool. I've been using flex for about two weeks now, so this is a little daunting.
