ActionScript 3.0 :: Displaying Photos From A XML File?
Aug 26, 2008
have to build an app that shows a bunch of photos (listed in an XML file) based upon certain criteria in the XML data. First view will show ALL the photos, and then the user will whittle down the choices/photos based upon criteria they select via check boxes.
how to pull the XML data into the application. I'll have to build a listener for the check box component(s), which shouldn't be difficult. The onClick event would then have to search through the XML/array and show only the user-selected data. It would be good also if the pictures were actually pulled from the server's hard drive rather than having them stored in the Flash file. That would allow the site's owner to easily add images by simply copying them to the server and adding data to the XML. Is that do-able, and if so, can anyone put me on the right path (theorhetically) to developing it?
I have at this pre-planning stage is this: ALL the pix are certainly not going to fit on the stage at one time. I am going to have to have a finite number of pix, say six, visible on the stage, and then allow the user to filter through the as-yet-unseen images by clicking on a number (Page 2 of 7), or something along those lines.

I have a slideshow and photogallery that I want to put on a CD and give out at tradeshows. The user can manually view the photos in each section or "play all". Right now all of the photos and text are listed in an XML file on a server. I don't want the info to be pulled from my server when someone plays the CD. Does the XML in the actionscript have to be a direct path [URL]? or can I store the XML files on my cd have have the info pulled from there?

I'm working with Scotty's image gallery code and I would like to use CDATA instead of a node attribute to supply captions for the images. The reason being that it should be *easy* to apply HTML formatting to the CDATA, including bolding and line breaks. At this stage I have two issues:
1) The only way to get the HTML to display is to apply a stylesheet. For some reason the stylesheet isn't working here (even though the exact same code works for me in a different file).
2) I don't know how to iterate through the nodes to pull the appropriate CDATA when a thumbnail button is clicked. I do know how to target the very first CDATA node value so that's what you see displayed. But I'm not figuring out how to loop through them properly.

Actually my requirement is my application consists a button(submit_Btn) when we click on the button(submit_Btn), each time it must to database(through servlet) and brings the data from database and places it on the flash swf file.Here my problem is for the first time when we click on the button it goes to database and place the data(which was returned from database) on the swf file.Next when we click on the button for the second time(or anytime) it is not going and bringing the new data from database(if some data is modified in database or not),Infact it is showing the old data(the data that was collected from previous ClickListener) only on the swf file and it is also not showing any complile time or run time error.
my Code looks like this:
submit_Btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,onCheck2);
function onCheck2(evnt:MouseEvent):void {
var xmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader(); var xmlurl:String =

I have a desktop AIR app that sends vars to a php page, which then rewrites a new css style file. After the vars are uploaded, I set off a refresh function in AIR that refreshes an html display pane, so you can see the css style changes on the html page.I was working great, but since I have changed hosts, I find I have to send the vars twice to see changes.
I thought maybe the problem was that AIR was displaying the new page before php had a chance to write the new css file, but even after putting a 2 second delay timer on the refresh, the problem still exists.I have also made the refresh function URL request append date and time as in:
varSend2 = new URLRequest("http://www.blah.com/"?time=" + new Date().getTime());

I am creating an interactive cd which basically runs a blank projector which then loads in various swf files from fscommand folder as and when required.
Part of the CD is a quiz - created using one of the standard flash templates. When this is loaded into the main projector as a swf file it runs perfectly until it gets to the "results page" - at this point it returns the blank templates e.g Answered = 0.
If you play the swf file on it's own it works fine. If you play the file as a projector on it's own it works fine too.
The problem only occurs when it is loaded into the main projector on a level above the root.

Code:
myData = new LoadVars();

but the text displays with %20 for spaces and stuff at the end like so:

I'm trying to add some animation into my flex application, so I've made an animated .swf that I want to embed into the application. The problem I'm having is if I use a SWFLoader, it comes up with a solid background colour, the same as the container window, I can't seem to get rid of this,
I have searched the internet thoroughly for a resolution and spent an entire day at work unable to sort this problem out. I am using Flex 3.2 sdk and Adobe Air 1.5.0
Embedding as a symbol is also a possiblity I've tried, and would prefer to do it that way if possible as it will make it easier to add code to stop/start the animation at different positions.
The component I am adding the animation to is a TitleWindow, not sure if thats relevant but maybe it makes a difference!

I have been asked to add support to a xml based website. I have been looking into it and have realised that it is not going to be very straight forward. The text does have english phrases in when describing products being used.
After doing some research I have found that CS3 does not 'support' rtl text. I also read that CS4 has added support, is this worth looking into? I read that it was buggy.
I found FlarabySWF which does what I think I am after, but not for all the languages I need, and only at design time rather than runtime.
I also found Gchats TextBox 3.0.0 but this didn't seem to work.
I also found some solutions using CSS, but these didn't seem to work with multiline text. See this example. It also didn't work as the text I am trying to display is bi-directional ..
Actualy, importing Arabic text is not a problem, but dealing with bidirectional text of Arabic and English within the same line is a big one.

All of the text in my dynamic text fields displays inconsistently, that is, some of the character strokes are full color and others are pale. This is with white text on a black background. I'm loading all of my text from an XML file. The smaller the font the worse it looks. The text only looks consistent if I use 24 point or larger. I've embedded the fonts in each field. The problem seems to affect all fonts.

I want to load an XML file and display at random a different line when a button is pressed. I swear I've seen dozens of different ways to do this online already and I've tried to copy them for my purpose
Here is my XML file titled "file"
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<xml>
<quiz>
[Code]...
Of course, once I get this working I'll need to output the text in a text box and assign a button press to load a new line.

I have a basic flash file with a button, when you hover over it, an object with dynamic text appears. Now I want text from an XML file to be pulled from it into my dynamic text box. This is what my code in my actionScript looks like so far...
Code:
function DisplayInfo(){
var title = items[i].firstChild;
var items = channel_xml.firstChild.firstChild.childNodes;
box.text1.text = title.firstChild.firstChild.nodeValue;
menu_md._visible = false;
box._visible = true;
[Code] .....
How to simply grab the info in the description tags and whack it in my dynamic text field?

I'm constructing a website in flash, and on each page of the website I have a dymanic text field pulling data from a .txt file for that page, (the news page has a dymanic text field called "newsText" which pulls data from "news.txt" for example) The website im working on is here: [URL] If you have a slower internet connection, whenever you click on the link to a new page, a small white square will appear in the corner before the content has fully loaded, this white square is a result of the scrollbar being disabled due to the content not being loaded yet (and thus having nothing to define wether or not it should need to scroll)
as the website grows in content this will become more and more of a problem. My actionscript ability is really limited. So whats the simplest way I can add a preloader to the page to load the content of the .txt file before displaying it?

Flex front-end using AMF to Java back. Trying to read, in real-time, a file that is being written to. For example, a log. I'm using Java's RandomAccessFile class to read the "new" lines of the file and send them back to the UI as a byte array along with the byte offset to start reading from next time. Using an mx:List to display all lines of the text file. The problem I'm running into, is Flex, or Flash Player, running out of memory on mildly large files, >25MB. Is there any preferred method of displaying large amounts of text data in Flex that I'm missing? Or does Flex/Flash just handle this poorly and I'm basically screwed?

I'm loading text from an external file (a notepad). Now all I want is to be able to change the text by loading text from another external file when a certain button is pressed. Basically, I got this as my default text which loads automatically at the start:
loadText = new LoadVars();
loadText.load("data.txt");
loadText.onLoad = function() {
title.text = this.title;
info.text = this.info;
body.text = this.body;
};
But now I want to load text from a different file (data2.txt) by the press of a button. I also have a transition animation so work with me. It would be...
b3.onRelease = function() {
if (_root.section != "photos.swf") {
//I also got this pic (swf) that changes on the button release//
_root.section = "photos.swf";
_root.transition.gotoAndPlay("closing");
So what exactly do I add to be able to change the text source?

I'm loading content from a text file into a text field in Flash. In that text file I have some simple html tags like <b>, <i>, and <img>. I'm setting the textfield as html text:
myTextField.htmlText = myContent
The img tags work fine, but for some reason the bold and italics are not displaying...the tags are being correctly stripped from the text, but there is no bold or italic text. I'm embedding all the characters I need, but do I need to somehow embed the bold/italics versions of those characters?
