I am very new to Flex&Action Script and now I have a question:How can I fill a Textfield dynamically?I have a CoverFlow with images and I want to add text to the image which is currently selected. The text is stored in the textArrayCollection and the index of the text hast the same index of the picture. For example: imagesArrayCollection(1) = rainbow.jpg textArrayCollection(1)= "Beautiful Rainbow over the hills." or something like that.
I have text being inserted into a textarea component dynamically from a MySQL database. The problem is getting characters like the ampersand (&) to show. Also the carriage returns are being processed twice (or the carriage return and newline characters are both being processed).
My employer is making a flash card and they want to customize it by passing a variable in the url that links to the card in order to fill in a dynamic text box.So the URL will have ?me=Bob on the end to but Bob's name inside the card.I've done this for them in the past but that was AS2 and I'm trying to use AS3 for this card. oward a code snippet or tutorial on the best way to accomplish this. If we could use an embedded font that would be a bonus.
I have to make a mock contact form for a project I'm doing, so all I need to do is a make a button that clears textinput / textareas. Does anyone know the actionscript for this?
I'm looking for a framework enabling me to programmatically add moving/scaling shapes and text areas over a flash video.
I'll have an XML file with text, starting times of animations, ending times of animations, positions, scales, etc. And want to use this file to animate stuff into place.
The idea is that I'll have a video with moving shapes. Multi-language content has to be put into the shapes and scale along with them.
I come across a problem when i follow the book "classroom in a book series" the Flash CS4 one (Red cover book) Chapter 2 Q.1 I try to draw straight lines or curves but i found i still cannot manage how to use PEN TOOL How can i draw straight line? Also how can i draw absolute vertical or horizontal line with some special combination key like CTRL or SHIFT i tried guessing SHIFT or CTRL while using PEN TOOL but no help
How can i draw curve? i know it depends somehow on whether i hold my click for a new anchor point? Any tutorial which is clear and easy for new comer for fully understanding for PEN TOOL.(Currently i try reading pdf reference from ADOBE Web site and google search but did not make myself understand.)
Q.2 I cannot use bucket filling a shape draw by PEN TOOL(i already search google sites but cannot find one with satisfied causes for this FILLING Problems) like the image shown below(Please click to enlarge this PRINTSCREEN) Tools i used are PEN TOOL drawing a shape first then a BUCKET for filling color.
This is a very very basic question.I am able to colour and otherwise manipulate elementary vector objects, such as rectangles. Yes, I know how to use the colour panel and the fil land ink pot tool. However, sometimes I can colour a vector shape drawn with the pen tool and sometimes I cannot. It seems completely random.In detail: select keyframe on an empty layer.I make a triangle with the pen tool, and a small circle shows completion. I get a triangle.This is coloured not for the stroke but for the layer. It seems to exist in two densities - a layer coloured line for drawing, a thicker, same-coloured one after selection.However, neither the ink bottle nor the fill tool do anything. I can set the colour in advance, or after the event, through the colour panel or otherwise, nothing. A gradient fill does not even show the guide lines for the fill tool.
I'm trying to map XML tags inside an external file to the cells in a data grid. The only thing on the stage of my movie is a data-grid component with an instance name of dg. The movie loads an XML file named list.xml. Here are the contents of list.xml
<?xml version="1.0"?> <table> <row>
[Code]...
However, when I test the movie, only the headings are correctly displayed. The rest of the grid is blank. I know the arrays for the names, prices, and quantities are full of data. I'm just not sure how to put their data into the grid.
* I have bar 10x200 with filling * I want the filling to width _x right from 0(0%) to 200(100%) in certain time.
[:::::::::] like so Time has to be in seconds, for example(1.632s) and is changeable in insert text field. Also there should have another text field that substracts seconds off from the insert text field, for example "time=2 seconds" - "minustime=0.5 seconds" = "time=1.5 seconds"
I'm interested to fill a simple array with variable names, NOT with strings! , because I need it for catching the data from asp file.I tried something like that but it doesn't work

I have made an app that draws shapes using the lineTo method to create a pen like effect. I then want this shape to be filled like the bucket tool in photoshop/flash. I tried to use beginFill but it doesnt seem to work.
I have contact form which is full working in xml files and I set it as external swf to my flash site so all is working fine except the drop down menu which is not filling the box.
I have a small random image slideshow to go on the main page of the site I am building, which The problem is that it is causing the "Page File Usage" to fill up, and eventually causes the computer to freeze up.Here is the code, which is for the random image to be added on a timed basis
Code: var flashTimer:Timer=new Timer(4000); flashTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, onTime); flashTimer.start();[code]......
I have tried so many ways to get it stop filling up the cache, but I just cant work it out. I'm thinking maybe a do while statement or maybe a removeChild?
I'm trying to make a very simple game in Flash. I have a map where you can see only the borders of the states. I want to make every state a symbol. Can I somehow fill it with different colors? Using paint bucket doesn't work...
I have an online flash video player fed by a playlist driven by XML. This XML is generated from a mySQL database via 'playlist.php'. The issue I am having is that when I feed the php generated xml into the player, it only reads the top level/hierarchy of xml information into the playlist (i.e. gallery level, when below that is category, and ultimately video).
When I copy the output of the php generated xml into a normal xml file (i.e. playlist.xml), the playlist is fed with all of the appropriate information, and is complete.
Can you tell me why my flash (as3) video player and playlist will recognise 'playlist.xml' but not 'playlist.php' information?[URL]..A link to the player, which is currently hooked up to 'playlist.php' is at the same address but with theater.html instead of playlist.
But I want to do this dynamically from results that I get from a DB.I have an attendance program and I want the object's names to be "Date","In","Out" and the values to be, of course from the results that I get.
I have a datagrid, which gets filled by an ArrayList. I want one column to be filled by another ArrayList. I've tried doing it like this, but that only gets the first three columns filled, not the last one (with the different ArrayList):
I designed one virtual keyboard it working fine for one text filled. But if i have more than one text filled, or a complete form it not working.... Even in some text filled like Address i need to activate the enter command so that it will goto the next line. And finally the tab which i want to toggle between the text filled. How to do this?Ci have a project called doctor board where the patient have to fill a form to register his/ her appointment.
I'm making a lightbox type of effect in flash. How would I go about making the semi transparent layer that covers up the background fill the screen so if the screen is readjusted it remains covered?
I have a rectangular area that I would like to randomly auto fill with objects.I currently have a custom object, that includes a Rectangle property defining the x,y,width,and height of this particular area.Next I want to be able to randomly fill it with more shape objects, which will randomly vary in size, and position. These objects will be stored in arrays, and will be drawn to a bitmap representing this area. please see the attached diagram.
I am working on a flashvars script that is reading various types of name/value pairs. I have NO control over the flashvars. I would like to write a dynamic script that parses the data into arrays depending upon the names of the name/value pairs...so the names of one type will be head0, head1, head2, etc and the names of another type will be color0, color1, color2, etc.I finally got the script working so that it pulls only the types of names and values I want, but it is putting the values in the array out of order. So, instead of the values for head0, head1, head2, head3 it is putting the values in this order: head1, head0, head3, head2. That is the exact order. What am I doing wrong! I am only using one of the variables right now for simplicity - head. Here is the code:
var headTextArray:Array = new Array(); var foundItems1:Array = new Array(); var foundItems2:Array = new Array();
I was wanting to do a quick class that generates an image from another image similar to the way the Killers "Day and Age" album looked like: [URL] The problem I'm running into (mentally, haven't started coding yet) is that I'm not sure how to place all those randomly sized and placed circles on the stage in such a way that they will completely fill it.I have thought of two methods, but both seem inefficient:
1. Use Box2D to create a new area where randomly sized circles drop from the top of the screen and fill the screen. Then, when all circles have settled, just track the size and position of each.
2. Select a random spot on the screen. Create a new circle, and test how big it's maximum diameter can be until it bumps into other circles or reaches a set maximum diameter. If it cannot become larger than the smallest allowed diameter, don't place a circle there, but move on. Repeat until too many tries in a row don't allow you to place any more circles.
I have a MovieClip which has a couple of text boxes embedded inside it. I'm trying to load data from an XML file and populate the text fields with this data. That's fine, all good. What I also need to do is create an instance of that MovieClip for each instance of a certain tag in the XML, and then load that instance of the MovieClip with the relevant information.
So, for this XML file (reduced to show only 2 CD entries):
I am trying to make a text effect where the colours fill up inside the logo lettering as if water was being poured in. Is there a way of doing this either by Actionscript or some form of advanced masking perhaps?[URL]
I have found a great resource for a fluid flash layout but there is one glitch with the site in that when it loads the content is all pushed up into the top left hand corner, if you then click rescale the browser it then fills the screen correctly but not initially. Here is the site: [URL]. The as. file for reference is with the rest of the files at this download link.[URL]
