My employer is making a flash card and they want to customize it by passing a variable in the url that links to the card in order to fill in a dynamic text box.So the URL will have ?me=Bob on the end to but Bob's name inside the card.I've done this for them in the past but that was AS2 and I'm trying to use AS3 for this card. oward a code snippet or tutorial on the best way to accomplish this. If we could use an embedded font that would be a bonus.
OK, I have my php and MySQL working fine. I'm pulling the data. I found how to format the data that is returned in the php as XML. My problem is I can't get my Flash textbox to load the variable from the php file. Like most things, this is probably very easy if you know how.My flash dynamic textbox is given the variable name topTeacher. From what I understand, I don't need to worry about an instance name.My php file looks like this:
<?php $con = mysql_connect("localhost", "USERNAME", "PASSWORD") or die('Could not connect to server');
i recently made a streaming mp3 player in flash. im pleased with my work, but i have one problem. i wanted to add a way to download the song that is currently playing. im using xml as the playlist. right now, i have:
I've created a simple script in PHP for retrieve the list of files contained in a directory. After that, i need to pass the "lista" variable to ActionScript.
Basically I want Javascript to pass a variable to Flash according to resolution. I realize my syntax might be off, but something like:
HTML Code: <script type="text/javascript" language="javascript"> if (screen.width <= 800) { expand = "false";
[code]....
Trouble is, I'm not sure what to do from here. I don't know exactly what I need to put in the <param> and <embed> tags, and how Flash would detect if the variable was true or not.
here's what I'm talking about Here is the FLA file I have three checkboxes (not mx components) and a dynamic textbox on which the "showtext" variable is assigned. I want the dynamic text box to display the labels attached to checkboxes when they return a value of 1 : (box one is checked, box2 isn't so the label doesn't appear, and so forth.)
I figured I need to use an array for the checkbox labels. I probably need a loop that verifies which checkboxes are checked (value=1). and use an array to combine the checked boxes with their respective label.
I am very new to Flex&Action Script and now I have a question:How can I fill a Textfield dynamically?I have a CoverFlow with images and I want to add text to the image which is currently selected. The text is stored in the textArrayCollection and the index of the text hast the same index of the picture. For example: imagesArrayCollection(1) = rainbow.jpg textArrayCollection(1)= "Beautiful Rainbow over the hills." or something like that.
Why isn't the "finco" not recognised/passed to php? I'm not getting the text results!! Code: var finco = "motors01"; XMLParser.load("[URL]"+finco, onFinish); function onFinish($success:Boolean, $results:Object, $xml:XML):Void { if ($success) { category.text += $results.category[0].value; namez.text += $results.namez[0].value; [Code] ......
Passing an XMLList to a function to layout text and link that text as a button.[code]...
So it displays fine but every link that is set up in the MouseEvent.CLICK is the last one that gets processed, even though it displays the text for every link correctly.
I have traced it inside and outside the MouseEvent and its all fine, but anytime i click any button it always goes to the one link (the last one processed)
why is my variable not being passed into my function?
Code: dealerLocate.urlButton.linkButton.onRelease=function(webAddress){ web=webAddress trace("this is web "+web);
[Code]....
the webAddress variable is from the exact same timeline making it one level up from this function. it traces out correctly too so I know the variable is there... just not getting passed!
My code seems to produce an error (7 times - same code) "1120: Access of undefined property xmlMarker." This appears on all occasions where the variable 'xmlMarker' is called outside of the function ('showData') where it was first produced.
Code: stop(); var placesXML:XML = <places>[code]............
I have a feeling that I shouldn't refer to the variable as a 'MovieClip', but I am unsure what else to pu thee if that is where the fault lies.On the stage there are several buttons relating to the place names attributes (works perfectly), dependent upon which button is pressed, the scene then jumps to a frame (again this works well), however within that frame there will either be 'myMarker_mc', or myMarker_mc2' (this does not work!).
Is there a way to look at each variable passed into the paramaters of a function. For example, taken the given code.
Code: package {import flash.display.MovieClip; import flash.display.Shape; public class Dot extends MovieClip { color:uint; dotSize:uint; [Code] .....
So in this instance it would loop through color, dotSize, doughnutSize, and doughnutHoleSize and set the paramaters of the class to be the same value. Example for each loop: Code: for (var key:String in object){ trace(key + ": " + object[key]); // object[key] is value } So, is this possible?
var myVar:String = LoaderInfo(this.root.loaderInfo).parameters.myVar; var snd:Sound = new Sound(new URLRequest(myVar)); var channel:SoundChannel = snd.play();
In c++ if I have a function that takes a class I have defined elsewhere as a parameter like so:void moveto(CPoint2D point) { ... }I can invoke it and pass along data to it like this:moveto(CPoint2D(0,0));basically creating the object and invoking it's constructor to be passed to the functionIs there an equivalent to this in AS3?if I have a function like this:function initialize(min:Point, max:Point): void { ... }how do I do something along the lines of :initialize(Point(0,0), Point(10,10))This throws an error im assuming because it thinks I want to cast something to a point and the notation I found earlier to do something similar only seemed to work if using the basic Object class.
How I can load an external .txt document into a designated dynamic text box in my flash document. I've tried the two tutorials I could find on flashkit.com and neither of them worked for me. I did everything as told and still the text file didn't load. When I enter the actionscript into the editor, I'll click check syntax and I get an error!
Here's the code I have in the first frame of my actions layer: stop(); loadText = new loadVars(); loadText.load("updates.txt"); //creating the loadVarsText function loadText.onLoad = function() { [Code] .....
Here's what the error is: **Warning** Symbol=text, layer=actions, frame=1:Line 2: The identifier 'loadVars' will not resolve to built-in object 'LoadVars' at runtime. loadText = new loadVars(); Total ActionScript Errors: 1 Reported Errors: 1
I have another problem that I might as well ask too. I would like to have users check the box, and not be able to see what is in the dynamic text box until they click a button called "submit".
I've got a movieclip with a blank dynamic textbox inside. On frame 1 of this movieclip, I have the actionscript to load the contents of an external .txt file into the dynamic textbox. The problems are:
1. I have an <img> tag in the external .txt that doesn't work (actually, the text does wrap around where the img is supposed to be in the dynamic textbox, but the img itself is not appearing. 2. All <p> tags don't work, but <br> does. 3. I have an ampersand (&) in the .txt file and all text is cut off at that point when loaded into the dynamic textbox. I've tried escaping it (&) and using & to no avail.
i have dynamic text-fields in flash (AS 3) and button on my form. my backend is sql server and i want show data in text-fields on button click event. i m using asp.net as server side script.I have Form in Flash and i want to fetch data in form on flash button click event from sql server .
I'm doing a project using ActionScript 2 where I'm loading in text from an XML file to dynamic text boxes. I'm loading everything in on the first frame, but there are boxes that do not exist in the timeline until frame 5 or so. Is there anyway I can access those to set their text property from the first frame
I want one question to be displayed (just text) and then the user will type in their answer (just text) then they should press a button to move onto the next question to do the same. The number of questions is not set and depends on how many questions the asker has created, these are passed through flashvars from the backend database.
So can I just do this in the one frame with a loop or something going through each param in flashvar ? Or would a better way be reload the page (it's going on a website) after each question answered passing the flash a single question.
In a 'for loop' I'd like to add an event listener to a series of buttons. For each button I'd like to define a different function. Is it possible to pass the variable through when the functions are being named? My buttons all have sequentially named instance names.Here's my code:
What I am trying to do is rather simple, but I am having problems. All I want to do is pass the values entered into a TextInput component into a Dynamic Text Field I need this to be realtime, so when the user is entering the values it is updating in the text fields. I have 5 TextInput instances and 5 Dynamic Text Fields on the stage The TextInput values need to be passed to the Dynamic Text Boxes.
I'm trying to make a game that is turn-based and allows players to first be selected, then click on a grid square to move there. However, I can't get a way for a variable storing whether the player is selected to be passed back to the actual grid class. I want the grid class to have an event listener that when the grid is clicked on, it will move the player there only if the player is selected. But whenever I try to declare a global variable either inside the grid class or even a document class or even access properties of the character class I'm trying to move I get errors.
The update to the Dynamic Text Box is always one character behind what is entered into the TextInput component. For instance my name is Shawn, if I enter "Shawn" into the Text Input the Dynamic Text Boxes will display "Shaw". It will only enter the "n" if I type another character then backspace it, deleting the extra character.
I am getting all data from the database through asp using loadVariableNum("get.asp",0,"GET") in a text box named xx.now i want to split it into further variables for manipulations. but i can't get the value from the textbox xx.i tried
