I'm creating a dynamic object containing multiple arbitrary properties. Developers can then iterate the object to get the properties and values, but i don't want them to be able to change the values.So... given a Dynamic object, is it possible to assign a dynamic property so that the property is only written once and thereafter is read-only?I triedobj["foobar"] = get function() { return "snafu" };
View 5 RepliesI am working on a site which uses a flash menu I was handed. The flash menu uses an xml file to generate, it works fine as long as one stays at the top-level dir of the site, say [URL]. When someone enters a page, say [URL] the menu stops working, being unable to read the xml which is hardcoded to be in the same directory as the page it's called from (menu.xml is in /).
I must say that the locations visible to the browser are not real, everything non-top level in [URL] is just mod-rewrite, thus none of the directories test or page really exist. I can see the reason why flash looks in the same directory as the one the client requested for the file (instead of looking at the same dir locally in example).
So the two solutions I thought of:
1. Is there a file_exists function i could use to make the flash recurse upper-level directories until the menu finds the xml file? as in:
var menufile = menu.xml
while (!file_exists(menu.xml)) {
menufile = '../' + menufile
}
Obviously this is not real code
2. Is there a way to open the xml from a web location and not from a static path relative to the swf itself?
For my problem, i using 5 random generated number and display it in a dynamic textbox, then i computed the 5 number using a formula and put the result in another dynamic textbox (name it as text_string). Then i create a button that function as to read the value in the text_string text box, for example, if the number is 5 then gotosomewhere, else terminated. Therefore, no matter what the result is the flash still terminated, it seems that the button unable to read the value in the text_string text box.
This is my code:
var newNumber:Number = Math.floor(Math.random()*3+2);
var newNumber2:Number = Math.floor(Math.random()*3+2);

Does AS3 handle connecting to SQL servers and using it's data or do you need an intermediary such as JavaScript to pass information to and from Flash?
View 5 RepliesI have a flash that reads all it's content from an XML file, alot of dynamic texts, it's in AS2 and it uses Dynamic text variables to assign the text from XML to the dynamic text.
Now I'm migrating it to AS3, I can't use Dynamic text variables any more, I know I can assign it manually one by one, but I have more than 200 movies to migrate, and it would take a lot of time to do it.I thought of one solution: If I can read all the dynamic texts in the whole movie at once, I can build a nice loop to read them one by one and assign the text from XML to it's respective texts.

View 2 RepliesI have flash file with 5 dynamic textfields which reads everyday from an array 365 (year) inside the file what I want is to read from an xml file instead.
The first layer contains this code the arrays:
function make365() {
arr1[49] = "05:30"
arr2[49] = "12:35"
arr3[49] = "13:10"
arr4[49] = "15:55"
arr5[49] = "18:20"
[Code] .....
The stage contains 5 dynamic textfields each one named respectively quote1 ,quote2 ,quote3, quote4 and quote5. How can I make the function 365() reads from an xml file instead.?
I have created a dynamic text box (named "numberString") inside a movieclip "circle" which is on the stage. Anyways, I have 24 frames in movieclip "circle", with numbers from 1-24 on different frames. These numbers are in "numberString".Since the animation allows the numbers to continually play over and over again, and thus the numbers are always changing, I was wondering: how can I 'read' the number that is playing when I, say, roll over it? I know the script for the roll over, but I can't figure out an efficient way to find out what number is playing when I put my mouse over it.
View 6 RepliesI have a project with 4 movie clips. Inside each clip there are dynamic textfields that read xml-file. My intention is to view each clip(alpha 100%) for 10-15secs at a time. My question is how can I view only the clips that have content in their xml?
Lets call the movie clips mc1-4. If I only have text to view in the first two mc's how do I construct some sort of IF structure:IF mc3 doesn't have content to view, view mc1 instead of it and then mc2 and so on.
All the movie clips read the same xml-file they just view different content from it. For example: mc1 reads 10 first nodes(with its childs), mc2 reads 11-20 and so on. That is why I want to know because it is stupid to show empty tables.
ok, i have been working with this text to load in dynamic text fields. what I have is a movieclip called 'textInfo' inside this two dynamic text fields called 'headerTex1' and 'headerText2' where I want the text to load into from the XML file.the text should appear next to image that rotate on menu which has 25 images on the menu.What I am getting confused with is do I need to repeat the script 25 times with 25 differently labeled movieclips and text fileds,this is the script;
Code:

var textInfo:TextInfo = new TextInfo();

i think i read an article before about google or some SE teaming up with the Adobe Flash Developers in an effort to include flash pages into search results by allowing the text inside SWFs to be read by the SEs... not really sure about the details, but its something to that extent..
that's good news but what i would like to know is if spam bots can do the same and read text inside an SWF file?for example, if i have an SWF file with a dynamic textbox that has some text that contains an email address, will spam bots be able to read it?if this is the case, then i will just make the email address an image..but the benefits of having the email address inside a dynamic textbox is that it's selectable; making it easier for visitors to just copy the address as opposed to having to look at the image and type it manually...

I admit I'm fairly new to flash, but I've almost finished an entire RPG battle system complete with music [etc. etc.] - but my problem is trying to add a preloader..

and in the second just "_root.gotoAndPlay(1);" for the updating process. I'm sure that's all okay. But when I export it, then upload the swf file to somewhere like SwfCabin to show people for testing purposes, they have to wait on just a blank white screen for 1~3 minutes.. -note: I use both Adobe flash CS3 [at home] and Macromedia Flash 8 [at school] - I can stick to just CS3 if needed.

View 2 RepliesA friend of mine has a Flash Action script running on a LAMP server that currently reads an xml config file. He's asked me if it's possible to remove the xml file, and replace it somehow with a system (lets call it an 'auto xml generator') that intercepts the request to read that file and generates an output, so it appears to all intents and purposes as if the file still exists and contains the contents that has actually been returned from our auto xml generator'
