ActionScript 3.0 :: Lines And Polygons Generated From A Database ?
Aug 23, 2010
Lines and polygons generated from a database..possible ? we have done so, that one can have e.g. spots populate a map in Flash with their positions coming from an xml feed database. The map having been drawn in Adobe/macromedia Freehand then imported into Flash.If we wish to show areas, e.g. development sites, can those areas likewise be shown from a database, perhaps the points that form the edge of the area being indicated by eastings and northings co-ordinates held in the database ? If someone alters a co-ordinate, the area then changes shape without being 'drawn' or edited using the usual tools.What of fills and alpha values, can they be controlled from a database ? If we wish to show traffic flow by having a line get fatter, can line width be altered via a database ?
I want to know the length of a xml. From a xml file I can make it work. In this case it's a database that generates the xml. So it is a URL, not a Xml. How can I make this work?
Code:
// loading xml // url_xml.onLoad = function() { // this is the array I need from the URL // var array1:Array = url_xml;
how Flash reads the PHP coding which was generated from the MySQL database.Though, I was wondering if anyone can help me with this task and/or clear stuff up. All I want to do is grab a single video file, when on the video.php page. So, the video.php will have the parameter, video.php?id=____ and than the PHP coding in the header will grab the database info for that video. Though, do I have to create a separate page for the flash to grab that information?Like, I notice that for Flash to grab that info, PHP needs to set it up like so:
Code: Select allvid=test.flv&title=title...
and ect. Though, do I have to echo this part out, or do I have to send that PHP info and create a page from it, than have flash grab the information from that 2nd page?
I'm making a Flash game, and I've encountered a really weird problem while trying to draw a polygonal shape in Box2D.
Here's the code I use:
var fixtureDefs:Array = new Array(); ... var fDef:b2FixtureDef = new b2FixtureDef(); fDef.density = 0;
[code]....
Where vertexArray is a valid array containing 4 b2Vec2 vertices, making up a convex shape.The problem is, when I test, collisions don't work right for that body. Most other objects -enemies, user-controlled characters - pass straight through, as if the body isn't there at all. Some raycasts pass through as well.
Infuriatingly enough, one kind of bodies I have (a custom enemy) somehow does detect the body and collides with it. The raycasts that particular kind of enemy attempts do work - when your character hides behind the polygon, it's like they can't see him.The other weird thing: when I try the same code, only go for SetAsBox instead of SetAsArray, it works exactly as it should.I'm using a custom ContactListener class, but I haven't done any contact filtering (unless it's possible to do that without realising).I'm using the Flash 9 version of Box2D 2.1a.
I am looking for a easy way to convert Autocad polygons to swf files. Is there a converter for that? Or is there an intermediatory format that can be used to convert from polygons to the adobe flash swfs. Each polygon would be a swf file.
Basically I have a prototype that creates polygons based on an array. works well. I then have another prototype that's supposed to create polygons using said polygon prototype.
So the below is: 1 - the polyMaker prototype 2 - an array of arrays ($arrowListB). basically each array item should be a new polygon. 3 - the problematic genArrows prototype.
What it should do is loop through the $arrowListB array and create a container clip ($cont). Within each container clip it should make a $arrowClip to be used in making the polygon (an arrow actually). It works until I get to the line after creating the movieclips:
Code: $arrowClip.polyMaker(..arguments..) Once I put that line in, it only makes one polygon and doesn't create the other (7 in this case) movie clips. I'm not sure if I'm just not referencing correctly or what. [Code].....
I have .ppm files which are the result of using a segmentation algorithm on images of things.These basically look like a jigsaw puzzle of randomly colored funny-shaped segments. I'd like for each segment to be selectable.I want them to change color on mouseover, so I can't just use bitmapData. getColorBounds (that's the best thing I could find searching for possible solutions).As far as I know, the best way to make a specific shape selectable is to draw a polygon using graphics.lineTo, etc. Assuming that that is true, is there any way to draw a polygon that roughly follows a jaggedly-shaped area of a certain color? Or is this just not something flash can handle?
I would like to display a SVG layer (polygons) over the openlayers tiles in a HTML page, or alternatively, load my SVG in flash and have the OL tiles rendered into flash as well.
I have been working on a map viewer based blitting technique. As part of the map I need to draw approximately 50000 lines and performance is currently really poor.
My code is on the main timeline.I call a function loop to draw lines between them.The lines are drawing between the right x, y values BUT between those values on the main stage, not those values within the kite.For example, dot1_mc is at x100, y0 inside kite. the line that should go from its center, draws from stage x100, 0.How do I draw the lines inside kite so that they draw between the dots?Heres my code that draws the linesPHP Code:
function loop():void{ lineDrawing.graphics.clear(); var a:Point = new Point(kite_mc.dot1_mc.x, kite_mc.dot1_mc.y); var b:Point = new Point(kite_mc.dot2_mc.x, kite_mc.dot2_mc.y); var c:Point = new
i want to intertwine php, MySql and flash. so i can make a flash movie display text that is in the sql database and a php script to change the database, php > sql = i can do but sql > flash = i can't do..i want it so the sql data show's in a text box in the flash movie...
I want to create a Flex 3 application running in Adobe Air that accesses an SQLite database and I need to keep this database in sync with an SQL server 2005 database running a website.Is this something that Flex supports or is it going to be a custom script? Also, has anybody done anything like this?
Edit: The synchronisation can be done on a daily basis rather than real time. The data will be read only from a front end perspective with a CMS to do updates on the website.
I have researched this issue all over and most people say use the .refresh() method to update a datagrid after updating or adding a new record. This does not do anything. So, my issue is this. I have a mySQL database hosted I am connecting via PHP, I have 1 mxml file and 2 php files (I know I can use just 1 but I am learning and this was easier for me to use for troubleshooting). The issue is no matter what I change on the datagrid the update does not show on the datagrid unless I close out of IE and reopen it. I can refresh or open the page in another window and the update does not show. I have to exit entirely and restart in order for any updates or additions to show.Here is my licenseTracker.mxml
I am working on a function to generate a form at runtime in Flex based on a call to the DB. The call to the DB returns the field types, id, tooltips etc as an arraycollection, the arraycollection is then parsed in order to ascertain what control to display based on the type field in the array - this bit works fine.However, i am stuck on trying to save the form fields back to the database using a CFC.my form rendering code is as follows but how do i save values entered back to the database? rendering code..
[Bindable] public var getglobalprofileb:ArrayCollection; public function init(event:ResultEvent):void {[code].......
I have updated the mxml code to only show the needed code for the program to run the update.
I am new to Flex and have an issue I hope you all can help me out with.

I am planning on using Flash Builder 4/Flex to write an AIR application which is primarily based around recording, storing and analyzing data.I'll be creating charts etc that need to update in almost real time.It's essential to me that the application be able to function without an internet connection so I need a local database of some variety,but I would also eventually like to build in online synchronization of the data where either database can be update each other based on newer information. Moreover, some type of encryption would definitely be welcome, and speed is a large concern
Synchronization: Primarily updates/additions/deletions will be done on the offline database, but ideally I want to have a web interface that will allow the same updates/additions/deletions and will be synced (beyond that I'm not sure exactly how to do it as I can model that based on what is most achievable).I'm wondering if there's any prebuilt engine that could handle the synchronization of 2 databases. I may end up having the web interface only be for additions, which would be significantly easier to sync.. and I may start that way, but i want to build with technologies that will best allow me to implement full online crud at some point.
Here is the issue: a client wants his entire equipment inventory accessible by persons navigating to his jquery mobile site. The inventory that exists on the desktop site was, as I understood, built with Flex. Is it possible to access this database for the jquery mobile site? I believe it is. I was then given this information from someone in the know:
Is it possible to create a database driven website using these alone? Or do i need to learn any other technology? If i do then what should i learn? I know j2se for the desktop and oracle SQL/MySQL i finally got the feeling that i need to learn PHP anyway along with css and javascript. So it is fine. Also another query. Which CMS should i consider? Wordpress or Joomla?
I am planning to develop a standalone application, which infact will be used for personal purposes. So only single user access may be there. I want to develop it in Flex. Just want some opinions from the gurus over here : Whether i should use Flex or AIR (I know only Flex, AIR i need to start learning)Which database i should use? SQLLite or HSQLDB or some other.
I have a database on a server and I transfer the data from it to a web site. So I need to build a flash grid on this site and to load the data on it. But the problem is that I do not know how to do it. So my question is how to build a dynamic flash grid wich is fill with data from a database? Is there a way to do it with action script only or I must do it another way?
I am writing a large flex app that has to connect to a database many times. I currently am using asp pages to connect, but I would like to use the most efficient option. What do you think is the best way to connect to a database from a flex app?
I am trying to create a mindmap where the user can drag points about the screen. I have gotten as far as drawing the line via actionscript, and drag+drop the points (defined as movie clips on stage). This is the existing script - I don't know how to get the lines to follow the points. Something to do with ENTER_FRAME or updateAfterEvent?
var line:MovieClip = new MovieClip(); line.graphics.lineStyle(1,1); line.graphics.moveTo(ptOne.x,ptOne.y);
I know as soon something with problem comes here in this forum it can get RESOLVEDNow what is my problem, well i will like to know how can i get this dynamic XML generated with PHP into flash.I want to create a simple gallery that reads this generated XML and adds movieclip childs.On the stage I have a large Movieclip with instance name mcDisplayLargeand a Movieclip with instance name mcImgThumbs
PHP FILE: dynamic_xml.php header("Content-Type: text/xml"); //set the content type to xml// Initialize the xmlOutput variable$xmlBody = '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>';$dir = "images/gallery1/";
I have a SWF file. It can generate Jpeg images. I want to get that images by url (for ex www.my.com/file.swf#image.jpeg) I want to get just clean image (no flash no sign of flash). So as if i was just calling my apache server to give me that image.
I was viewing a page just now and got the error box popup telling me of a runtime error in a .swf The problem is, there are multiple .swfs on the page, and I do not know which one generated the error.
I need to convert a swf movie that is created entirely through code (with the help of TweenLite) to a .flv format. The issue here is that I need to 1) Do this as a batch process, and that 2) since the swf is entirely generated by code it only has 1 frame and as such normal conversions like from CS5.5 to to the .avi format give me just 1 frame in the resulting video format. Is there a free converter out there that can get past the fact that my video is technically only 1 frame long and can handle batch jobs?
Code: var xmlGeneratorURL:String = "http://localhost/***/galleryXMLgenerator.php"; var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader(); loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, showGallery);
[Code]....
so if you change the content or the name of some file of the "media" folder, the next time you run the swf you should have more/less media in the gallery. Well... this does not happens.... like there's some cache to clear before calling php again..
