ActionScript 3.0 :: Filter Results From An XML File?
Aug 18, 2010
I have a problem that is driving me nuts. I have been googling for the last two days now, but I still haven't found the solution to my problem.
I'm creating a list of courses for an LMS where the data is pulled in from an XML file. All that works perfectly well.
The user should be able to filter the list based on a number of parameters and I have been able to get some of it working (the very simple filters) but other things just wont work.
For example - I am able to filter the results based on the node values that are located directly under the main "course" node. However each of these main course nodes also contain a "sub-node" called "Categories". What I really need is to be able to filter based on the content found in that categories node as well.[code]...

I've created a search with a couple of comboboxes that allow users to filter their search results. The results are currently using a TileList & itemRenderer to display, and now I'd like to add an animation effect when the user filters their results. I know that you can use the itemsChangeEffect to create an animation effect when the user drags and moves result itmes. So I'd like to know if there's a way to create a similar effect triggered by the filtering on the comboboxes?

I'm trying to create some script that will connect to my PHP script, which has searched the database for whatever I told it to....and it will right the results to XML that I send to Flash. What I've been up all night doing is trying to make some kind of class that will allow me to filter those results avtively?
If you're running Firefox:
Go to the address bar and type about:config
When you get there you can filter them by typing any letter
It will return all the results that have that/those letters in them
Notice how it does it for every letter
Actually you can see you preview of it by using the iTunes search feature
I've had enough of these undefined messages in my test output..the same XMLNode object whatever selections worked without the class and now where I could find such a Class or perhaps know better search keywords than iTunes search filter Actionscript Flash Class.

When I GZIP an swf file, the size goes from 1,21 mb to 1,86 mb...I guess, as a colleague of mine said, that the swf is already binary and can't be compressed anymore.Conclusions is also that zipping swf files shouldn't be done.

I looked at the following example in the AS3 Reference: [URL] It is unclear to me looking at the package example how to apply this in standard ActionScript 3 without packages to a Movie Clip resident in my Library that gets called at RunTime. how I would push the DropShadow filter onto my Movie Clip at RunTime?

I've recently upgraded to CS5 and the Media Encoder creates incredibly HUGE files compared to the CS4 media encoder.
For example, I can convert a 15MB mpg file to a 12 MB flv file in CS4 using the preset "FLV same as source"
I do not find a matching preset in CS5, but tried "FLV - match source atributes (medium quality)" Encoding the same file in CS5 with this preset results in 170MB file.
I've tried adjusting the settings, comparing the options in both versions, and I still can't get a reasonably sized file out of the CS5 media encoder.
This seems really broken to me. A 170 MB file is not useful in any way. Do I have bad presets?
Adobe Media Encoder version is 5.0.1.0 (32-bit)

I am creating an interactive cd which basically runs a blank projector which then loads in various swf files from fscommand folder as and when required.
Part of the CD is a quiz - created using one of the standard flash templates. When this is loaded into the main projector as a swf file it runs perfectly until it gets to the "results page" - at this point it returns the blank templates e.g Answered = 0.
If you play the swf file on it's own it works fine. If you play the file as a projector on it's own it works fine too.
The problem only occurs when it is loaded into the main projector on a level above the root.

To achieve a zoom effect in our 2D flash game, we make the background of the game much bigger than the visible stage. This becomes a problem when the background is complex or when we apply a grayscale filter to the background. Is there a better way to do zoom? Or, is there a way to apply the filter to only a specific area of a movieclip?

The swf that I saved appears to be blank. When I run it from the saved location, it comes up blank but when opened in the decompiler it plays. But when I save out the FLA from the decompiler, it saves what appears to be an empty FLA. One would guess that they are dynamically loading info from the web but I am finding no Actionscript to even do that.

I'm having some trouble getting around a security restriction of flex. Saving a file is apparently an action that can only be invoked upon user interaction. The problem is that after my user clicks on the save button, I need to perform a database query to get the data for the file I want to save.
Because Flex works asynchronous, I have to make the database call and then catch the ResultEvent in a different function. In that function, I no longer have the user's mouseclick event. How am I then supposed to save this file?

My btns do not work, I think becuase I added this: import flash.display.Sprite; import flash.net.navigateToURL; import flash.net.URLRequest; import flash.net.URLVariables; to my time line code in an attempt to get four btns to funtion out correctly with a navigateToURL "_self". Now the IIS browser reads "custom filter or module, such as URLScan, restricts access to the file".

server the scripts it has to load from the server, but if i call it like it will not load and will get stuck. i remember there was a parameter for the player about allowing it to read only local scripts or something like that, and i plan to test it with this (or if according to the problem description, somebody else has a different theory, all is welcome), but at least in dreamweaver it does not appear the parameter for flash objects, and i dont remember where i saw that parameter or what was its name, what is the parameter to allow a flash movie to read scripts from different servers (even though the situation is kinda weird, since dnses are pointed correctly, or it would not load at all with my and how do i edit the parameters value? do i have to edit it by hand in all pages, in all occurrences?

I recently made a drag and drop game that gets users to rate a word 1 - 5, nothing fancy just event listeners that have many (many) if statements that push the selection into an array at an index.However now that I have this preference list im kinda stuck as I dont know what to do with it now.In java I could save it to a file but from everything ive read there are things to stop flash/as3 from accessing your hard drive(security issues)Basically im trying to find a a way to put this array into some sort of use such as saving them to a file on my hard drive.Also as an aside if there any good tutorials on how to make a scoreboard?ay if a player gets 3 of them 'right' they'd get 3 points and be placed accordingly.

I have a movie that is connected to a database. It pulls info, stores it in an array and displays it. We also have buttons that are coded to send a search query (selected from the data pulled from the database) back to the website to be displayed. Weirdness happens. Here is the button code.
PHP Code:
on (release) {
getURL("http://www.mysite.com/mySiteBuilder.php?tagged=true&UpdateSearch=update&myRouteResults="+_global.taggedRoutes[0][6]+"", "_self");[code]....
All is good here accept for the 1414,2626,2525,1919,1212. These should be 14,26,25,19,12! Checked it and it does perform correctly.

Basically, I have a function that when called will display a menu of options that the user can click on. The menu is dynamically generated from the script and each menu item has it's onPress handler setup to call a dynamically generated function that which has access to the index of the menu item (or any other data I choose to pass it).What I would like to happen is that when a menu item is clicked on, the value is somehow passed back to the function (which built the menu), so that it can return it to it's caller. I've got everything but this last bit functioning.The approach I've tried is to give the onPress handler access to a field in the class which holds the menu building function. Then when it's clicked on, it can set the field to it's value. Meanwhile, a while loop in the menu function is waiting for the field to change, and will then return the new field value as it's result.
However, this doesn't work and the reason is obvious. Any sort of busy waiting while loop locks up the flash player. Therefore, it ceases to handle events and so the user cannot click on the menu item (or do anything else for that matter).What would be ideal is some sort of sleepAndHandleEvents function I could call from the while loop, but from what documentation I've searched, I can't find something like that. I've googled around, but so far I haven't found anything.The reason I want the menu selection returned from the function (rather than the usual method of using callbacks) is that it's called from some procedural code. I know I'm going a little bit against the paradigm of flash (which is mostly event oriented), but some things are just procedural in nature and I don't want to split my code into a million little pieces and turn it inside out.

would go about setting up flash to display results returned by a SQL query one at a time.I can work out the query and PHP, but want I want to know is how to make flash take each one and animate it, including pausing and clearing the screen when full, then continuing on a 'new' screen. It's basically for displaying a list of events in a database.
Blank screen
Event 1 (pause)
Event 2 (pause)

We're seeing very different results from the same files being packaged for iPhone verses iPad. Not having a lot of luck getting things to run smoothly on the iPad when they work great on the iPhone. The iPhone versions also run great on the iPad even though it has to scale down all the retina quality images. I feel like I'm missing some important difference between the two?

I have a library that provides a reflection API on top of describeType() (a method that returns an XML object with all the specs of a class or instance). Since this library is used in several other libraries and frameworks.
The problem I'm facing is that I'm not sure about the best approach to refactor this libraries' code and make it possible to test and compare the results. I could easily add timers to the code, log the ouput and compare the results, but it seems like a lot of work to do this manually.How did you test and compare the results of the changes?Is there perhaps any testing framework (also non-actionscript) that helps in performance testing in such a scenario?
