ActionScript 3.0 :: Edit The XML Before Processing?
Apr 21, 2011
I have to use an XML that starts as follows:
base.xml
Code:
<mythuitheme>
<window name="backgroundwindow">
<imagetype name="backimg">
[code]...
However, to render it thus appears to me the following error: Error # 1083: The prefix "size" element "small" is not determined.
Code:
<mythuitheme xmlns:size="localhost">
How can I make this change to the XML dynamically in Actionscript 3? Without changing the file directly.
PS: I have another XML (theme.xml), where the problem is to have repeat the same node name, identical in everything, for example:
Code:
<buttondef name="WIFI_TRACKING">
<image>buttons/WIFI_TRACKING_off.png</image>
<activeimage>buttons/WIFI_TRACKING_on.png</activeimage>
[code]...
How can I, dynamically, eliminate one of them?

I'm actually relatively new to flash and actionscript but I could say I have fair knowledge about them. So anyway, I usually build flash websites the traditional way using timeline animation and scripting. Today I had a job interview and they said they're looking for someone who can develop any web design into a Flash CMS with a back-end office for the client to edit the content without having to edit the FLA file or any code.
Accordingly, I'd like to know where and how to start. What are the main concepts I should follow/adapt?

The XML file is formatted like this:[code]The traces are all for debug purposes.If I place this code into the actions panel of the first frame of the flash document (without the thisObj:TriviaGame = this part), everything works fine and I get correct traces.If I place this code within TriviaGame.as, all of the traces print 'undefined', but it claims to have opened the file correctly.I've found a lot of XML tutorials on this site, but none of them seem to deal with processing XML from within a class file--they all put the code directly on the frame.

I have a large amount of MovieClips and I want to change the ones of class "Circle". So far no problems. However, I want to change the ones with name "S2" to another frame than the rest. I have tried several methods, but couldn't get it to work.
Code:
for(var i:int=0;i<numChildren;i++) {
if (getChildAt(i) is Circle) {
if (MovieClip(getChildAt(i))._name == "S2") {

I've got a function that loads an XML file, and processes it into an array. Outside the function, if I trace for any of the contents of the array, it comes back undefined. What I've noticed is that the trace command is triggered before the array has been populated, even though the function to populate the array is called prior to the trace command.Here's the code:
Code:
var playListArray = new Array();
var myXML:XML = new XML();
myXML.ignoreWhite=true;[code]......

I have created 3 forms.The forms appear to operate correctly.You receive an error message when the form hasn't been filled out correctly and when you fill the form correctly it appears to process the forms information.However the information is never received in my email account.I am assuming there is an issue with the php file.URL..

I've been using Processing for around two years now, and I really like it. However, I feel like Flash is a bit more useful for coding games, as it's more universal and flexible. I'm starting to feel like I have no idea what I'm doing, and I really don't get any of the concepts like movie clips and the stage and so forth. In Processing, to make, say, a ball, I might make this:
Ball[] ballArray = new Ball[ 0 ]; //Array to store each ball in
void setup()
{
size( 400, 400 );
[code].....
And that would let me create as many instances as I like, anywhere I like.I haven't the faintest clue how to make a comparable applet in Flash.I've tried making a 'ball' class in a separate .as file, but it gives me an error about too many arguments. I also don't know how to draw a shape directly to the screen.

I have researched this topic and I believe the answer is AS3 Scope Issue though I can not resolve the issue.My xml loads fine and I can traverse it fine. I need to compare it against an array in another file so I believe the best thing to do is put then node I want into a class variable/field.
My xml:
<Test>
<coordinates>

I am slugging through the processing of data posted from an Flash based form. I have a dev server that uses php to process input. The php script produces the following test php file variable array:
$input['VE'] = 't';
$input['A'] = 't';
$input['ML'] = '5.1';
$input['SA'] = 't';
$input['SV'] = 't';
[Code] .....
What do all the variables sent to the server mean in this context? And, is there a tutorial focusing on form handling with Actionscript 3.0?

I'm making a 3D program and I've already made the back end which calculates where each object's polygons should be. However, I can't seem to find a quick way of drawing them without having to remove and redraw them each time, which I'm sure would take a lot of processing power, knowing the way that Flash does things. So is there a way to draw a shape (a quad in this example) and then alter the shape's color and the position of all of its corners in the next frame without taking a huge load of processing power? I would really like to be able to do this to at least 20 polygons, hopefully more, within the span of one frame at 20 fps.

I'm working on a Flash intro for a site. After the Flash movie plays I want it to wait three seconds and then send them to the index page. Currently I'm using the action script:
[Code]....
I've got that keyed to the last frame. The issue is at the end of the Flash movie it displays the company logo image. Well with that script added to the last frame it just quickly blips up the logo then takes you to the main page so fast you don't even get to really see the logo. I want the viewer to have a couple seconds to take it in, but then move them along to the main site without them having to look for a button to press.

I would like to know if theirs a way where you can type in a text field something like "5*5".
And then on enter, the document would take the database and be able to return 25.
I am quite confused due to the fact that content that you input into a textfield must be a String and when you use the Number() converter the system gets confused.

I want to extend AdvancedDataGrid to show a Waterfall Chart in one of its columns.
To do that I already created custom cell render that shows bars as I need.
Now I have a little challenge: I have to pre-process data to show my Waterfall Chart properly. I have to do it before my grid is show. So, I assume that I have to extends AdvancedDataGrid and overwrite some methods.

This is not a specific question, instead I'm trying to get an idea of flashes capabilities. I'm building a website that has an Mp3 upload component on it. Serverside I can use the command line audio tool "SOX" for most of my heavy lifting but I'd like to offload some of it onto a flash client. Essentially, client side, needs to be able to do the following: User selects an mp3 file off their harddrive. Render it as a waveform. Display a scaled indication of 30 seconds of the waveform that the user can drag backwards and forwards. This will record a start time. Upload either the full mp3 or just the selected start time plus 30 seconds.
I've never programmed anything in flash before so I'm not really sure what it's capable of.

My friend has a Flash script that draws Pacman on top of his homepage. The bug is that the flash animation doesn't let him click on his page.I'm trying to convince him to use Processing.js instead, but I'm not sure whether even Processing can blot on arbitrary parts of a webpage (e.g. by using a canvas the same size as the page but letting clicks through).Processing-specific issue: Filling the canvas (e.g. background(white);) obscures any HTML elements that might have displayed under the canvas.

I have a mega XML file... there are 4 child nodes for over 2000 entries... trouble is, even when I try without a trace to make sure it's finding the XML (which it does)... it gets to around 500 then times out... it mentions a default timer of 15 seconds, is there a way to change this? Also is there something I should be doing for mega XML files?

I've been working with a 3rd-party multiplayer engine for a game I'm developing. A lot of messages get sent during certain times (loading, etc) to the point where it is possible that multiple messages may be sent per gameloop. To solve this problem, I am attempting to create a delayed message processing scheme. this function is invoked every time a new message is received:
Code:
// called by the Client
public function PushMessage(gameMsg:GameMessage):void
{
messageQueue.push(gameMsg);
}
And at a point in the gameloop, I want to process these messages and clear the message queue. The only problem: there is no assurance that the messageQueue won't be modified during that time. The messages in AS3 are basically interrupts (possibly overlapping), and I can't find any way to temporarily disable event dispatching for a specific EventDispatcher-derived class.
So at this point I can think of only two options. The first is to write a mutex using a Boolean and setTimeout. I do not want to do this for obvious reasons (bad! BAD!). The second is to give up on a delayed processing model.

I'm working on an interactive company, and for each campaign we create dozens of loaders. A loader is a simple flash file contains the following elements:* few lines of code for eRate (counting how many clicks have been done on a banner)* a loader for the source banner from "http://....host.../..../" + w,h + ".swf"* a button that tells what happens when a banner is clicked (different portals as us for different scripts)Is there a way to automate the process of making such files? it takes a 1 minute to make 1 swf, but the amount of loaders make the work a bit longer.I'd like to see an application that asks for a list for sizes + eRate code for each one and the URL for the source banners.

I have a program in which I am running a number of for loops which are doing a number of different things.I pull in data from an xml file and then step through that data to dynamically create arrays, populate the arrays, and create and modify movie clips.
The program I'm building is similar in scope to one I developed in Director many years ago, and in that environment we had to actually put breaks in using timers to ensure that the data would be processed and that the system wouldn't choke.
What I'm seeing with this flash version of the application is similar and I suspect the same. Basically, when navigating from the frame where the scripts are processed to the frame where the movie clips are displayed, there are times when it works perfectly and times when things are out of whack. I put in a 5 second delay (arbitrarily) to see if this would resolve the issue and on my system at least it does. But I need some advice on coming up with a real solution.
