I have created AS3 script for loading and parsing an RSS feed. I have successfully displayed the "title" node on the stage in a List Component with the instance name "blogList". Now I wish to use the corresponding "Link" node so that each item in the list will open a web page to the link for that story. I have been able to get each title to link to the last URL link in the RSS feed.

how to populate a list box component located within a seperate mc in my swf with an array... the array comes from a response from a webservice call. I am not currently on the computer with my source code available so lets just use the following....
listdata[i] = the array i want to populate the list box with..... (listdata1, listdata2, listdata3, listdata4, etc. etc.)
movieclip1 = the MC within my fla containing the list box component
mylist = the actual list component
... just not all that familiar with the format of actionscript when working with objects... using CS3 and as2 btw,
I am working on an older Flash project created in CS3 ActionScript 2.0 How can I make the pointer cursor change to the hand when hover over a list item?_root.slidePanel.myList'myList' is the list. I have traced out the contents of the List MC and it has a child MC called 'content_mc'. I assumed this was the object containing all of my list items but the only members of this MC I can see (when tracing them out) are 'setRGB' and 'searchKey'.

View 1 RepliesWhy I have to press 2 times the arrow key down to get a navigation through the list items in a list component of Flash?
Theres any workaround for this? I have a listener for keyboard event that checks if keyCode is equal to 40 if it is then I use 'stage.focus = list', but I have to press 2 times key arrow down to start navigating through list items.
I'm building a top view 2D map, that it's objects are stored on the server.The kind of objects are 10 and might be a photo, label, button, lists, mix of them or labels with tooltips.The component must request the "areas" that are missing on screen.An area is 1000x1000 px and is cached in flex.To move in the map, will be like in google maps (drag-and-drop).I should be able to have another list and move objects from one to another using drag-an-drop on objects. Ex.: I grab an objects from a list and I move it on this map, I release the mouse button and the item is placed there.Now the problem is: I build a custom component for this trying to emulate the item renderer for performance and recyclage, implement drag-and-drop on objects and request the areas that are missing?
or
I extend the List component from spark and I add some features as multiple kind of itemrenderers and use recycle on them. Of course it must be able to request the missing areas on the screen and cache it's data.Maybe create a custom layout is needed too.What I need is something that must be really fluid, so the lighter this component is, the better.
UPDATE: *There will be not any object over another.
*I will not use hitTest on bitmaps because all bitmaps are wrapped in another component,as they,for now are itemrenderers.
Anyway I already begin to do this using a class that extends the SkinnableDataContainer and a custom layout. As the layout is not like a grid, is sparse, random items at diferent points(x, y).How to get the localX and localY, relative to item renderer and not to the Spark List, from a DragEvent in Flex 4?
I have two Lists (components) on stage. The first one (mainList populates from an XML called topics.xml
[Code]...
on event handler change, I want to load the second list on the other list component, called subList..It's not loading.. I believe it's because when it reads the data from my topics list, it reads topic1.xml instead of "topic1.xml" ( reads without the quotes). If I unquote line v.list.load("subtopic.xml"), it works, but I need it to be loaded from the XML..

View 1 RepliesI'm currently working on a flash website. On the homepage I'd like to incorporate a dynamic list of links similar to the one found in the main content area of URL.. (you will need to visit this site for my post to make any sense)Due to my low level of experience, I do not expect myself to accomplish this in the near future, however I would like to work towards it. What i'm looking for are pointers of what areas of AS3 I should begin researching to achieve this?
- The links are taken from an XML file, and the site is updated through this.
- When a new link item is added to said XML file, they're pushed into an Array.
- The position of the object in this array is somehow referenced in the XML file, and this provides the appropriate link.
- There is some sort of conditional statement that sees if the link added is text or an image, and based on this a different tween is used for the rollovers/outs etc of each link.
- There is a maximum character limit set to each page of links, and when it is exceeded the links are pushed to the next page, and the dynamic text is updated accordingly, specifying # of links etc.
Is there a more efficient way to go about creating a list similar to the one found on ogilvy.com?just pointers on where I should start in building this sort of application.
I am trying to generate a list of links via xml using as3. I have created a movie linkHolder and a text field called linkText. I then add link text to linkHolder and add linkHolder to the stage. I have an eventListener attached to linkHOlder which calls a function and when I roll over the links it activates the function correctly. How do I give a unique id or reference to each button so that I can pull up the correct link associated with it? Here's some of my code:

View 1 RepliesI have followed the tutorial by b.rich on Arrays and attachmovie to try and make a movie with a list of links. the MC that I attach dynamically has a AS 2.0 class attached to it to handle its rollover and rollout states. An invisible button in the MC (instance name lbutton) carries the AS for the link and sits on the topmost layer. My newbie brain just cannot get around two problems:
1. The links just wont work.
2. I have quite a long list of these. How do I fit them all in the MC (all my attempts show the links spilling out of a container MC and onto the main stage), make the MC scrollable and then put it on the stage?
[code]I want to extend the list with hyperlinks. For example in every node I should have an href attribute also. Then I need to redirect users to the selected item. I know Flash has the URLRequest class. The little problem I have now is to get the selected item. It propably is because of the dataprovider is xml and I haven't done the correct casting.
