ActionScript 3.0 :: Dynamic Update Of XML
Dec 22, 2009
Im trying to build an XML / Loader that has the ability to to be fed a large to infinite amount of content/assets dynamically, IE, you can add all the swf's/text you desire via the XML file, without having to edit the fla / as doc. ORRRRR if you do have to edit the script, it would have to be like after the user added 30 assets (which theyll never have to)heres my current "code", Im stuck as to where / how to correct the "image1.gif" string so you can add as many assets there.[code]

I have a dynamic text box that I'm loading data into from a PHP file using loadVariablesNum("data.php", 0);
The PHP runs a SQL query that fetches data from MySQL. The data in the MySQL database changes frequently, and I want to update the dynamic text box with the latest info.
How do you do that? Or is it possible? I assume you use setInterval.
Currently, it only updates the field if I visit the PHP file and refresh the data. Otherwise, the dynamic text box just displays the data from the last SQL query.

I've been trying to create a flash website menu that updates the menu text via an xml file. The problem I'm experiencing is that when I update the dynamic text in the menu, it doesn't seem to go through.I know I am referencing the dynamic text correctly as when I run the swf for the first time, I briefly see the correct text for about half-a-second before it is replaced by the default dynamic text. There is something that is overwriting the new text with the default values but I cannot see what is causing it.I am changing the dynamic menu text in _root although the dynamic text exists in nested movie clips .e.'_main.menu_mc.menu_panel_1.menu_button_1_1.menu_b utton_text'.The code in _root is:
_root.menu_mc.menu_panel_1.menu_button_1_1.menu_bu tton_text.text = "home";
_root.menu_mc.menu_panel_1.menu_button_1_2.menu_bu tton_text.text = "our approach";
_root.menu_mc.menu_panel_1.menu_button_1_3.menu_bu tton_text.text = "our work";

From my main timeline actions, how can I tell a dynamic text box inside a movieclip to update? I have a movie clip with the dynamic text box called catalog. The instance name for the text box is catalogtext. On the main time line, I am using a loop to repeatedly attach the catalog movie clip. I want the dynamic text to show the value of i, and each time the movie clip is reproduced, increase by 1 each time.
Here is my current attempt:
for (i=1; i<=9; i++) {
container.attachMovie("catalog","catalog"+i+"_mc", i+200);
mycatalog_mc = container["catalog"+i+"_mc"];
[code]....
Everything works fine, but the text box won't show the value of i. I must not be calling it correctly?

I'm using some dynamic text fields in my movie. When I change their contents in my code, they revert to the default style. For example, in the movie, they are Helvetica, style 75 bold. But when I update them with mytextfield.text = "something else", they revert to Helvetica regular. I have all the right styles embedded.

Im having is that I cant update the information that I get from my XML file at runtime. I have some static textfields that updates just fine, but it�s the dynamic ones that don�t play nice.
The project is a small display that shows the amount of minutes that is left from the time set in the XML to the current time. I don�t want to bore you too much with the details of it all.
Heres the code! Right now though it doesnt update at all. Removed those bits of code since it got me nowhere
Code:
var container:Sprite = new Sprite();
bottom_mc.addChild(container);
var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
[Code].....

I have a 100 frame movieclip with a dynamic textbox inside that outputs the current frame. This movieclip gradualy goes from frame 100 - frame 0. Would I need this textbox on 100 frames with code on each or just 1 stretched through the 100 frames? I can get it to say 100, when its on the 100th frame but its doesn't go to 99 98 etc.
I tried:
mc.onEnterFrame = function(){
mc.text = _currentframe;
}
but that doesnt work.

I'm using text that is set to "dynamic text". In actionscript 3 I tried:
instancename.text = "abc";
trace(instancename.text);
Trace returns "abc" when I test the movie but the appearance of the text doesn't change.
In action script 2 I tried:
var1 = "abc";
instance1._text = "def";
trace(var1 + instance1._text);
Trace returns "abcdef" when I test the movie but the appearance of the text doesn't change.

How do I update my Elevation Object when I change the bimapdata of its height map? I noticed that getHeightAtPosition() updates to the values of the new bitmap, but the Elevation still looks the same..
(I know it is possible to loop through all vertices in the geometry mesh and adjust them based on the bitmap, but the nice thing with Elevation is that you don't have to do that. If it can adjust to the bitmap on creation it should be able to update..)

How can I update the dynamic text content which is inside a button ?
In other words, how can you address a dynamic text inside a button ?
I want to change the text label of a button, on the fly.
Isn't there any other way to achieve this than "making" a button with movie clip instead od a "real" button ? Does that mean Buttons were not expected to have dynamic text in them ?

I am deploying Updates via SCUP and SCCM to hundreds of Computers. Fortunately Adobe provides an SCCM Update Catalog for both Adobe Flash ActiveX and Adobe Flash Plugin. But now my Problem: After publishing the Update via SCCM, the client is not supposed to be interfered with the Update Progress (which is working) I figured the Updater works like this: First SCCM checks if a Update needs to be deployed, if this is the case, The Flash Updater begins. First the old Flash Version is beeing uninstalled. But now: if the Client has a Browser Window (IE, or Firefox) open, the Updater is not able to install the new Flash Version and quits with an Error. This leaves the Client PC without any Flash (because its being uninstalled before) How can I prevent Flash being uninstalled due to the Update progress not working while a Browser window is open?

Been working on this for almost 2 weeks and I am completely stuck. I've got a main dynamic movie clip that pulls in images from an xml file. It's x position moves depending on the mouse position. Obviously its width is dependent on how many images are pulled in.
I have an indicator movie clip that runs along a 600 pixel line in the opposite direction to the main clip that gives an indication of how long the main clip is.
I know the length of the indicator's line so its x position needs to be updated in relation to the x position of the main clip. 1% of indicator's maximum movement in 6 pixels so it needs to move 6 pixels in relation to 1% of main movie clips maximum distance.

I created a FLASH header for a website. My client wants me to remove a small line of text from it, but I no longer have the original .fla file. The text is over a simple gradient background, and I could probably just cover the text with a color rectangle.

I want to make a sort of slideshow of the players in my game (In game when you change clothes/weapons the image auto updates to show your current character) How would I insert images into CS4 and when the image updates for it to update in CS4? PS. This is when the project is exported and uploaded to my website. Example image that auto updates: [URL] = [URL]. Where CharacterName is that's where I put each individual character I want to add in...

Will flash CS5 get an update which will allow it to create .APK files for the android platform, like it was supposed to be able to do for iPhone?(before apple denied that kind ofdevelopment)
That would be a dream come true and would be a really good reason to upgrade to a CS5 license after the trialperiod is over.
