I try to get the node length from my XML file. When I trace xmlData, it works fine. I found several notations for node length, I came up with this...
Code:
import fl.transitions.Tween;
import fl.transitions.easing.*;
var nodes:Number;
var aantal:Number;
var xmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();

I have decided to give XML a go, so I thought I would start with something small : ) and give creating a dynamic menu a try.
I load my menu headings using textField and I can not get my code to find out the actual length of each menu heading. It all produces 100. I wanted to get each individual lengths so I can divide it by 2 and positon that to the center of my menu buttons.
I am also try to turn my menu buttons into buttons, so I can add my eventlisteners, but it doesnt seem to work. The menu text seems to get in the way, even though I made them non selectable.
This is my XML code
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<menu_list>
<menu title="1">Home</menu>
<menu title="2">About Us</menu>

I thought this was going to be easy! I would like to search an XML file for a particular data set i.e. set of nodes depending on a passed variable. However, storing a subset of my XML file via Code:var gallery = this.firstChild; and then searching 'gallery' as you would an array-using a for()-doesn't work since this.firstChild isn't returning an array
Code:
<gallery>
<collection title="Christmas 2004">

do anyone know how to script the dynamic text length to the amount of text in the text file instead of manually drag it to the length?
Code:
myLoadVars_lv = new LoadVars();
myLoadVars_lv.onLoad = function(success) {

Let's say I have array foo and a positive integer y, where foo.length > y.I want to remove elements from foo so that foo.length becomes y (or very close to it).Also, I need to preserve the first and last element of foo. The indices of the removed elements must be spaced apart as equally as possible. Foo can be sliced, or it can be used to create a new array.
Example: if foo = [a,b,c,d,e,f,g,1,2,3,4,5] and y = 6, then trimmedfoo could be [a,c,e,g,2,4,5] or maybe [a,c,e,2,4,5], but not [a,c,e,g,2,4] because the last element of foo is missing.
how to do this
function foo(x:*, ...args):* {
}
function bar(x:*, ...args):* {[code].....
how to expand args ? when I call bar(1,2,3), I wish it call foo(1,2,3), but it call foo(1,[2,3])
Is there any way to determine if a (anonymous) function has defined the ...(rest) parameter in ActionScript 3? I know there's the function.length property, but it only counts the explicitly defined arguments.
View 2 RepliesI need to get the length of an MP3 file.I tried using the following code: myFile.id3.TLEN; yet it didn't work.I copied (and changed a bit) the code from the help files and got this thingy:
myFile.onID3 = function(){
for( var prop in myFile.id3 ){
trace( prop + " : "+ myFile.id3[prop] );
}
}
myFile.loadSound(run_url, false);
The code shows me all the parameters I can get. Seems like my MP3 file used id3v1 which may not support time length, so using Winamp 5.3 (last update), I passed the information to id3v2.so I got some more parameters. Here's the output:
COMM :
TIT2 : MySong
TPE1 : Almonimus
TYER : 2006
[code]....
Seems like I still don't have the required parameters in the id3tag. I am aware that Winamp doesn't support id3v2.4 very well, so I downloaded a demo of Tag&Rename 3.2, and as you can guess, even after opening the file and resaving it, I can't get this parameter.

I have an AdvancedDataGrid tree with a ArrayCollection as its dataprovider. Now, for instance, i drag a leaf from one node to another node. To catch the event I'm adding a Listener to dragComplete.

I'm creating a horizontal scrolling gallery in which the content is loaded through xml. So far the xml loads fine and the content is easily nested within movieclips and positioned within a larger movieclip containing each of the movieclips containing the content. With that said, I am able to move this main movieclip left and right with no problem using a tween and a fixed position but I have no way of stopping the movieclip according to how much content is in the xml file. I'm attempting to use the length of the xml file to move this main movieclip but either it can't be done or my coding is wrong.[code]...

Problem is, soundFactory.length will return 0 ! That's because .length needs the entire file to be loaded in order to return the proper value, right ? If i trace it in "completeHandler" function, the right value is being shown but i cannot return the value to use it as a parameter in the "asteapta" function, at least i have no idea how. I guess i need to know the sound length before the file is being loaded.

I am reading midi files in as3 (flash cs5) with the help of the helpful library that is called midas [URL]- the midi-as3 library. I am trying to figure out a simple way to calculate the whole duration of the midi file (for example - total time of 4 minutes or 6 minutes...). I assume I could calculate the last note of each track + check the tempo and figure it out, but I was wondering if: Is the duration of the midi file is written somewhere in the data that I could just pull out and use?
View 1 RepliesI am having some problems with buffering sounds. I am doing a MP3 player for my site and everything seems ok except that I can't get the full length of a sound before it finishes downloading/buffering and it's messing my progressBar. That's my code:
position = (soundChannel.position / sound.length);
Sound.length returns the total length of the downloaded data at the moment and not the full length of my Mp3 file.
Let's say I have 1 minute long Mp3 file and I only downloaded 30secs of it, if my playback reaches 15secs of the sound, it will say that I am at 50% of the song and not 25%. Is there anyway to know the full length of a file before it finishes downloading? So I can make a buffer download progress bar (like youTube does, so you know how much u have downloaded) and a songProgressBar. I've read some things about the NetStream class but I don't know if it will solve my problem. I don't have Flash media server.. it would load the file form the local file system.
is it possible to get Sound length before the mp3 file is downloaded completely?

View 1 RepliesI am loading an xml file and some of the node attributes do not have values:
<books>
<book id="qq" description="test1"></book>
<book id="nn" description""></book>
</books>
I get a null object reference when I try to run the second book line because of the missing description. Can I check for this in code and skip accessing the description for this line?
Something like if (xml_book.@description is null) {do nothing}else{do something)?
I'm trying to access an XML file (that I cannot rewrite) in Flash.

I can access the first "title", but I can't get to the node nested in <item>. What am I missing?
[Code]...
I want to extract each individual node from and XML file. I want to preserve the node data AND the attribute name and the attribute data. In short create a new XML that is a copy of the complete node.
I am sure this is pretty simple but whilst I keep getting close I seem unable to get it to work!
Here is an example to illustrate:
If my XML file is like this (just an example)
Code:
<X>
<O A='1' Z='22' Q='13'>DataX</O>
<O A='54' B='25' C='16'>DataY</O>

var buttonID = new Button;
var imageID = new Image;
var labelID = new Label;

I'm don't know how to get the value when node name is dynamically changed.
just trying to get straight how this works. Say I create some XML like so:

I am loading an external array from a text file like this.
file = new LoadVars();
fileURL = "PhoneBook.txt";
I then trace fileURL.length and I getting a number much greater then my fileURL array length.

I'm creating an in-house application in flash for my company. I'm pulling a ton of info from a single XML file located on our server. Ten interns will be using the application on their laptops (Air 2.0). Having the data load and populate the application is not a problem. I would like them (in the application) to be able to edit an existing node value (loaded from the XML) and save it (back to the XML file) so that the XML file updates with the new value and the other 9 interns would see the change on their application.
I figure I'll need some kind of php set up, but everything I've read so far deals with creating new nodes. I need to edit and update existing node values from an existing loaded file.
Here's a very simple example of the XML:
HTML Code:
<INVENTORY>
<CODE>x1234561</CODE>
<NAME>Code1</NAME>

I am trying to use the class Sound of actionscript.My code is really basic :
var snd:Sound = new Sound();
snd.load(new URLRequest("mysound.mp3"));
trace( new String(snd.length));
snd.play();
The audio is playing very well but in my trace, I get 0 instead of the length in milliseconds of the Sound.
