ActionScript 3.0 :: Dynamically Retrieving URL From XML And Using It As Button Link
Apr 14, 2010
I've got my flash application loading all the images found in an XML file (under <file>image</file> and i want to use the url found in the same node of each image <eventurl>url</eventurl> but I can't seem to target only the image I'm clicking.
If I click an image (and say there's 20 on stage all loaded dynamically) the button will try and take you to ALL the <eventurl>(s) found in the XML document.
Code:
<pictures>
<picture>
<title>Flyer 1</title>
[Code]....
When you rollover the images they scale perfectly and it correctly only scales the SPECIFIC image you are rolling over. However when I try and do this for the click and try and make it target the corresponding images URL it tries to take you to ALL the urls.

[URL]
It gets CUT OFF when the & appears.
I have checked only on php and the link that is retreaving from mysql echos it just fine...the problem is when i load the link into flash from php... im using the following syntax on flash:
Code:
shimmyUrl.push(event.target.data["url_"+e]);

I'm experimenting with data retrieval from xml spreadsheets. I have 5 links in the xml labelled:
<link0>index.html</link0>
<link1>about.html</link1>
<link2>portfolio.html</link2>
<link3>links.html</link3>
<link4>contact.html</link4>
In my movie, I have a loop, which upon each revolution a dynamic 'counter' ticks from 0 to 4, then resets etc:

I'm trying to create a script that will check different supplied filename paths, insert them into a movieclip, and retrieve the total bytes of the clip so I can determine whether or not the filename is valid. I'm having trouble with the bolded code below. Basically its checking to see if the loaded clip's bytes are more than 0. If its 0 then I know the path was wrong.I've tried using .onData and .onLoad as event handlers, and getBytesTotal and getBytesLoaded as my conditions for my following if statement. When I trace the result I get 0 even if the movie was successfully found and loaded... anyone know whats wrong?!?!
Code:
if (presType == "web") {
videoName1 = videoName + "_300k.swf";

i created my subMenu buttons fine, however i only know how to link them to a picture/url address, my goal is to have the user click the subMenu button and open the image or page right below the menu bar in the "stage" area of flash. I read about IFrames but i'd rather create the whole site in flash .Here is the code for my subMenu...
btn_34th.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, buttonClickHandler);
function buttonClickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void {
navigateToURL(new URLRequest("images/34th.jpg"));
trace("I'm Clicked!");
Again, this works fine, i just want to have the image take up the "white" space on the stage area, very similar to an IFrame.

I've trawled the web, everyone with different ideas on how to call up a mailto link in AS3. What I'm looking for is this: I have a box, that is coverted to a button symbol given the name 'mailto'I have another layer for the actionscript I have imported 'flash.net.navigateToURL' and 'flash.net.URLRequest'
I know I need to create a function or a variable to link in the already created button. Do I also need to import the MouseEvents?
I created this FLA to get used to CS4 (i was previously using8)Everything works wonderfully, I would just like to know how to use AS3 properly, without having to call defeat and create the FLA again using AS2.

I am dynamically loading data from an XML file into a text box. That part I have. But I would also like to have the TextBox a URL. Is there a way to also load the URL from the XML file?
I tried textbox.url = (MyXMLInfo)xml.node.child.text());
But I get an error in the output, "Cannot create property url on flash.text.TextField"
EDIT:::::: Ok, i remembered the addEventListener, and got that working. Except how can I make it so when the mouse is over the text, it turns into the finger icon instead of the I-Bar?

I have an an array of objects. I populate the datagrid from the array. The nmber of columns in the datagrid is fix i.e.5 and the first column always shows serial number (0,1,2,3,4). I have a link button called 'CLEAR' in the last column of the datagrid.
1> How do I make the clear button visible only when the row is particularly clicked 2> When the clear button is clicked, how do I make the contents of that particular row cleared. Not deleted, only cleared to insert data again. Also, the serial number (0,1,2,3,4) should not be cleared, nor deleted. How to do this ?

I'd like to make sort of gallery with previous/next buttons. And on each image you'd have circles/link over important parts of the image.So each image wold have these circles on different locations. Question: how can I make that dynamically? And that it's not to complicated for the editor of the site? One way would be to write in XML x and y positions.

i have a set of buttons cranked out from and XML file. how can i emulate, in code, a press on one of those buttons? i'd like to 'press' one of them for an initial state so that the list it controls will load first off instead of waiting for the person to click it manually and THEN show the list it's connected to. thing is, the first loaded list is going to be random, so i need to 'press' what on another day/load would be a button that the user would press themselves.
in other words, i have 3 buttons. on random, i have to 'press', say button 2, to start. users can press 1 or 3 and then 2 again if they like. another time, it's button 1 that gets 'pressed' on load, etc. make sense? i have a sneaking suspicion it might be easy... or stupidly convoluted.

I bought a flash template last week and have more or less being able to modify it to the way I wanted, its 95% done & I've had to make a couple sacrifices due to my lack of flash knowledge.
The blog on the website is now on a subdomain (I'm using wordpress for the blog), I also had a registration email form on my current site which is now gonna be on a seperate html subdomain too.
My problem is that I have one page on the flash template that I wanted to use for the blog but as that's not easily done. Instead of using the button to open an empty page, is there anyway I can redirect it to the Blog on the subdomain & open it in a blank window/tab?
