I'm using the kirupa fla source file for the hover caption URL...and have created an external movie file where I want the hover captions to appear to be loaded into the main movie swf. The hover captions don't work once this swf has been loaded but works as a standalone swf.
View 2 RepliesIs there a way to show data in flash rather than using the components? Something like name and date of birth in a table format somewhat. I'm trying to get something like the datagrid, but somehow I can't style it the way I want to. So, I'm kinda looking at other methods.

I am having an issue with ColdFusion's CFChart tag. I have a couple graphs that do not display properly. For a horizontal bar chart, when attempting to display 50 or more chart data items, the graph's bar labels stop plotting, but keeps plotting the bars themselves once it gets to bar number 50. I noticed making the chart height larger makes the issue worse as well. If i go from 1000px pixels to 2000px, it stopped plotting labels even sooner. The query that populates the chart items do not return blank label names either. See the screen below, the labels should keep plotting after "7 to 1".
I am running on ColdFusion 8 Developer Edition. Is this a possible limitation for ColdFusion's native charting capabilities? Or should I consider checking out Flex Charting instead?
<cfset hideZeroData = "25">
<cfparam name="paramID" default="25">
<cfset ecfData = QueryNew("ecfName,cumValue")>

I have a static, UTF-8 encoded XML document that gets loaded by a custom movie clip class into an array and then items from the array are read and displayed in a dynamic text field that is attached to the movie clip,depending on which one is rolled over.Everything works perfectly except that an ampersand displays as & apostrophes display as ' and quotes display as ", even if I use the special character inside the XML.Higher level character codes actually display properly, so character codes for circle shaped bullets,registered trade mark symbol, Greek characters, etc, work! But a blessed ampersand does not.Setting the dynamic text field to either read as HTML or not read as HTML makes no difference.
Using CDATA tags in the XML makes no difference.In fact,when I use CDATA tags and enclose text containing a special character code, Flash goes the extra step of converting the ampersand in the special character code to &!! So" becomes "Using & just gets converted to &.So Flash's XML parser is parsing the & to an ampersand,which Flash's text parser then converts to &. WHY? And how do I stop it?
I found the function below to clean out the unwanted characters,and it works,but it seems a ridulous length to go to.And I probably have to extend it to accomodate whatever other characters don't work in Flash, but I don't know what those might be until I encounter them. Also,the function works whether I use a special character in the XML or not. ie, if I put an actual "&" into the XML, this function will display "&" and if I put & into the XML,it will still display as "&".

Im a bit of a novice with flash and have become stuck while trying to achieve what should be a simple task. I am trying to read in XML data and display the lables in a combo box and then display the corresponding data in a text field below. So that when for example "Vintage Red Wine" is selected in the combo box, the description for that wine will then be shown in the textfield below.Most of the code is functional. The combo box displays the information i want. The only thing that doesnt want to work is the text field which should show the wine decriptions.

I have a Android Air project written in AS3, when the project starts I am loading the music and loading the XML file to be parsed. In the first frame I call my classes to parse the XML and set the nodes at strings, and to play the audio, these both work fine. Also in my first frame I am declaring some textfields to input the data from the XML file so that when the user enters frame 3 the user is able to see this data from the XML file. This also works fine. The problem I am having is going between frame 4 and back to frame 3, the data in the textfields disapears? I trace the strings from the XML class that are holding the data and these values appear everytime, but going from frame 3 to frame 4 and back to frame 3 wipes out the textfield display?
Ok here is some code from frame one where I am declaring the textfields
var name1TextField:TextField = new TextField();
var name2TextField:TextField = new TextField();
var format:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
[Code].....
Previously above I had stated that I am calling the audio class and the xml class from the first frame, declaring the text fields and moving on from there. Now I have decided that since this XML file is a list of scores and coded be always changing, I thought it would be good to load and parse this file everytime I enter frame 3. The same thing is still happening, I have my scores display and then when I go to frame 4 and back to frame three, the scores do not display, but when I trace the data from the class, it displays properly.
This is the data, and you can see that it has an indent on its first line.

Actually my requirement is my application consists a button(submit_Btn) when we click on the button(submit_Btn), each time it must to database(through servlet) and brings the data from database and places it on the flash swf file.Here my problem is for the first time when we click on the button it goes to database and place the data(which was returned from database) on the swf file.Next when we click on the button for the second time(or anytime) it is not going and bringing the new data from database(if some data is modified in database or not),Infact it is showing the old data(the data that was collected from previous ClickListener) only on the swf file and it is also not showing any complile time or run time error.
my Code looks like this:
submit_Btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,onCheck2);
function onCheck2(evnt:MouseEvent):void {
