ActionScript 3.0 :: Filling Instances With XML Data - XML Loading
Jun 28, 2011
[URL]
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):
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<CATALOG>
<CD>
[Code]....
So a new instance of myCirc needs to happen on each <CD> from the XML, and it's text fields need to contain the information from the XML.
It's working, but I get instances which contain all the text from all the <CD> sections of the XML, each one has all the titles, countries etc.

in the code below, there is something wrong with this line: movieClipsStage[n].addChild(thumbList[n]);
import fl.transitions.Tween;import fl.transitions.easing.*;
var thumbArray:Array=new Array();var movieClipLoader:Loader;var movieClipsStage:Array=new Array("mc0","mc1","mc2","mc3","mc4","mc5");

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 import XML data in order to fill an AdvancedDataGrid (using Flex 4.5). This ADG is correctly filled with the data, columns display the right information etc. etc.
I would like to summarize this ADG using
<mx:SummaryRow summaryPlacement="group">
<mx:SummaryField2 dataField="Cost" label="amount" summaryOperation="SUM">
</mx:SummaryRow>
But there is a problem! Indeed, the 'Cost' data are imported as 'Strings' and that is why I cannot do the SUM... I just get a nice 0 as a result! I would like to convert these data into Numbers, so that the addition can be processed. This conversion has to be done before filling the ADG I think.
I already tried to implement a custom summaryOperation but was unlucky...
public function calculateSummary(data:Object, field:SummaryField2, rowData:Object):void
{
var dataField:String = field.dataField;
[Code]...
The Alert always displays a void message, the data are not transmitted to this function I think
There is another thing: the user can insert new data in the XML dynamically and that insertion has to update the SUM result.

It should be rather clear what I am trying to do via the following code:
Code:
d100button.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, d100func);
function d100func():void {
x = 1;
[Code]....
I tried to create a function for detecting the last button click (and getting the label of that button to use inside the function), but I decided to make the functions much simpler to at least get the desired effect.

this is my first post on this forum so please take it easy on me as I am sure that this will be a simple answer for most of you out there. Here is what I am working with: I have dynamically added 4 buttons to the stage using XML data and a loop to place as many buttons as will allow per the data. Once the game begins, a MovieClip that I have also added to the stage will jump randomly from frames 1-16 and stop using a stage event listener. I need to have event-listeners on each of the buttons I have created using the XML data to check to see if the user has selected a correct answer. I had intended on using a function that would check to see which button was clicked and check to see what frame the movieClip was on when that button was clicked and judge right or wrong that way.

I am trying to load in 5 pictures but 2 of those pictures need to be added multiple times to the same scene. For example you would use Loader to load one tree but would show that tree 9 times. The problem I am experiencing is that each object loads fine once but objects that are the same with different x and y values are placed at the last location that was set in the loop.
for(var i=0; i < LoadedXml.resources.resource.(@type==LoadedXml.resources.resource.@ty pe[fileCount]).@count; i++) sprite.name = LoadedXml.resources.resource.@type[fileCount] + i; sprite.x = LoadedXml.objects.object.

I am making a platforming game for an assignment and I have a problem with this bit of code:
package
{
import flash.display.MovieClip;
public class PlatformTest extends PlatformManager
[Code].....
All platforms are loaded into this class, and there are currently 2 instances within a Level movieclip. It's kept at 2 for seeing if it works purposes. This code basically gets the y values and x values for all sides which is used for collision detection purposes, loads it into an array, and the array number is incremented.
I'm not exactly sure if this method works or not, and I don't even know if every instance of the symbol is being loaded into the array, but is this code right, if not how do I fix it?

Basically, I have made a new FLA file, and in it's library I have created two symbols. Both symbols have their own class .as file.The first symbol is a movie called GridBox, and it's class has a package that uses lines to draw a shape, namely, a diagonal box tile.The second symbol is a movie called MainGrid, and it has a class that loads the movie GridBox from the library, in to its self.All my code works fine, the thing is, I would like to load more than one instance of the same movie clip, at a series of different locations, and im lost.Here is the code:

package { import flash.display.MovieClip; public class MainGrid extends MovieClip private var myMovieClip:MovieClip;

I preface this with the disclaimer that I'm new to flash and actionscript and I've read the tutorials on this site and others regarding depths, levels, this, and loadmovie. I have a problem with scope I believe in some AS while using the loadmovie() function. I am loading multiple instances (5) of the the same .swf on _level0 of my main movieclip using createEmptyMovieClip and LoadMovie. When I play the main MC the loaded swfs complete thier initial animation but do not respond to onrollover events. Here's the AS for the main MC:

I'm trying to make a custom PDF viewer in flash. Currently I've found a freeware server side script that will convert the PDF into a single Flash AS3 SWF file with each page from the PDF on a new frame. Loading this is no problem. I can navigate through the pages with a simple gotoAndStop(frame); call.
Here's my problem: I want to display more then one page at a time. I want to be able to scroll through the pages and see one page going off the top of the screen while the next is coming up from below. So, how can I put multiple instances of this SWF on the stage? Do I have to load it with a loader and URLRequest multiple times? or can I make copies of the one I've already got somehow?
I still have to load PDF in flash, but if I could find a better way to create an SWF out of the PDF. I'm currently using pdf2swf and it's great and all. Maybe there is some functionality to that program that I'm missing. Some other way to organize the PDF pages in the SWF.

I am attempting to get data from an xml file load in flash. I followed a tutorial in a new fla and it seemed to work fine, I then tried to adapt it to my own needs which worked fine. But then when trying to implement this into my news section it doesn't seem to work. I am trying to make a news section, that displays the date and news article. This is in within a movie clip, I even tried putting it in the timeline of the scene but still nothing.
- I have 2 dynamic text boxes, date_txt and news_txt
- The xml file is named news.xml,
- both the fla and the xml are in the same folder
This is the actionscript I am using:
function loadXML(loaded) {

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 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 want to set a maximum in the database and then for each row as a percentage of the maximum - it would fill the image based on the black volume.
Take the volume in flash of the lightning bolt (pixels), then fill it with a color as rows increase from 0 to the maximum number.

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.
