ActionScript 3.0 :: Loading ChildNodes - How To Assign Data To MovieClips
Jul 7, 2009
I'm trying to get my XML info into movieclips called "button_1" - "button_7" I have my XML ChildNodes showing up in my output window when I export my swf. I used the xml class to load into an xml instance So how do I assign the data to my movieclips.
Here's my code thus far:
stop();
import flash.display.*;
import flash.events.*;
import flash.net.URLRequest;import flash.net.URLVariables;
var numOfImages = 90;var imgNum = 0;

I have three dynamic text boxes. variables respectively
(caption0,caption1,caption2).
My xml file is structured as:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<captions>
<caption>Roll over this</caption>
<caption>This is the first Caption.</caption>
<caption>This is the second Caption.</caption>
</captions>
I am trying to create a rollover where when you rollover caption0; caption1 and caption2 are displayed in sequence. Everything works except though only the first caption is ever displayed. For the other two I get "level0.caption1" and "level0.caption2" instead of the text in the xml file above. How do I parse the data so that each of the variables are assigned the text in the xml file?

I found a multiple drag to a single drop example here on the forums that works wonderful for the dragging and dropping part of my project. I am now trying to add in a sort of category detection. I have 45 movieclips located on the stage. They get set up with a loop, giving them a drag/drop functionality. The movieclips belong to one of 7 categories. The user can drag only 5 movieclips to a designated area. Once the 5 have been selected, I need to then figure out which category had the most selected. What would be the best way to set this up? Here is what I'm working with so far
PHP Code:
#include "mc_tween2.as"
stop();

I have done this same thing in ActionScript 3, but am not familiar with ActionScript 2, which I am forced to use for this project. I am loading products into a SWF via XML and attempting to add a click event to each dynamically-created movieclip. Simply tracing the text from a node in XML will do for now. I'd like to assign a property called "desc" or "description" to each movieclip and have it trace that property's value when clicked. Here is the relevant portion of my code as it stands[code]...

I'm creating an image gallery and the below code is what I have come up with to create a 'container' movieclip which dynamically adds a number of thumbnails, each as a separate movie clip, one after another vertically inside the container (which is contained inside a 'main' movieclip - note the existence of mc1 is to enable me to mask the container - this is worknig so you can disregard it).(Note the number of clips is currently hardcoded to 7)
Code:
image = new Array(); //array of movie clips to be contained
imgLink = new Array();

i'm loading some data from an xml-file and dynamically create movieclips with textfields inside of them, but I'm kinda stuck. I'm not up to the point where I completely understand how you can refer to a nested object using this syntax: _root[movieClipName]. If you want to nest something inside of that movieclip, you have to work like this:

Inside my XML file, I want to have multiple child nodes nested in a parent node. But when I try to trace out the multiple child nodes, I only get the first child node in the trace, despite using "@" wildcard. Is it because the childnodes are named the same?
Code:
<gallery>
<project>
<desc>Description</desc>

Goal: load XML data (it parses automatically), parse through the XML tree and assign the values to an array of my choosing for access later in the movie. Problem: I can load the XML data, but the only time I can access the XML functions, i.e. XML.firstChild, or XML.getChildNodes(), is when I am within an XML.onLoad function.

I currently have some XML which looks like this:[code] I don't have any <discount> in my second listing. The content of <discount> is being displayed upon some graphic which I'm tweening around. However if there's no discount, I want to set this movieclip to ._visible = false - since its pointless to have it tweening around when there's no text on it.How on earth would I check if <discount> exists or doesn't? In most cases it will be there, but in a few it won't.[code]

I have a movie clip in my library linked as aboutUsMenuBtn. And I as get the childNodes.nodeName from the XML file, I want them to be assigned to a dynamic text field "btn_txt" inside of the aboutUsMenuBtn. With each node, a button is going to be attached to the aboutUs stage (I'm working using a Flash Form Application).

I am trying to use Kirupa's XML drop down menu(action script 2.0): aka: [URL] however I cannot have it output the childNode. This is because it is using a for loop with the curr_item variable. when I try to trace the for loop count variable, it just returns the last for loop variable. I basically want it so that when I click on a button on the 3rd tier submenu, I want it to output all the prior tiers that the button belongs in.

I am attempting to get data from an xml file load in flash. I followed a tutorial in a new fla and it seemed to work fine, I then tried to adapt it to my own needs which worked fine. But then when trying to implement this into my news section it doesn't seem to work. I am trying to make a news section, that displays the date and news article. This is in within a movie clip, I even tried putting it in the timeline of the scene but still nothing.
- I have 2 dynamic text boxes, date_txt and news_txt
- The xml file is named news.xml,
- both the fla and the xml are in the same folder
This is the actionscript I am using:
function loadXML(loaded) {
if (loaded) {

I know how to load xml data into dynamic text boxes, but I have no idea how to load the xml data into my movieclips.

I'm trying to make an animated map showing points on a map as they appear over time.I've got a few hundred locations in a spreadsheet with lat/longs. I have a plugin from Avenza for Illustrator that lets me plot the points, and then of course I can import them into Flash. The problem is that when I move them to Flash, all of the attributes, including the year (which I need to animate them) is stripped away.
I can easily enough get pixel coordinates in Flash at this point, but the problem is I don't know anything about these points now. I'm having to look at them, one at a time, in Flash and Illustrator, then manually hard code each individual point to tell it where it appear on the timeline in Flash. This isn't going to work.

I want to pull in an xml list containing thumbnail image src, image label, and video clip info, into a format on the stage. The thumbnail images should be pushed into 5 instances of the same movieclip on the stage. Eventually, I want to load the image label into a text box (should be easy), and then the videoclip to be played via click onto thumbnail (will attempt that later)
