ActionScript 3.0 :: Loading XML File Containing List Of Valid Zip Codes
Jun 26, 2009
I'm loading an xml file that contains nothing more than a list of "valid" zip codes. Here's a sample of the xml:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<zipCodes>
<zip>82930</zip>
<zip>82931</zip>
<zip>83114</zip>
...and so on.
What I need to happen is when a user enters a zip code, I need to return a "yes" or "no" based on whether or not the zip code they entered is in the xml list. So far, it only works if the zip they enter happens to be the last one on the list. This tells me that it's either not searching the entire file, or that it perhaps needs to search in a loop somehow.
Here's the code that works the closest to what I need:
stop();
var xmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader;
xmlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, showXML);
xmlLoader.load(new URLRequest("zipCodes.xml"));
var xmlData:XML;
function showXML(e:Event):void {
[Code] ....

I got a text file in the same directory as the flash file, and I am wondering what is the problem with it loading the url. the header is live on [URL] and it doesn't want to load the urls. what would be required to get it to do this? when ctrl + enter to test the movie, it loads the url in a new window. am pasting the code below:
Is there a clean and efficient way to import documents in a flash presentation?I have a big number of doc documents to import in a flash presentation and i'm wondering what's the best way to attach them. I've worked passing them to HTML before, but the doc to HTML conversion is messy, ugly and doesn't output valid HTML code, besides, it's a chore to clean the embed CSS style the conversion leaves inside the code. is there a library that allow to use a more portable format? if not, is there a clean way to convert a doc file to valid html code?
Most JavaScript code is also syntactically valid ActionScript 3.0 code. However, there are some exceptions which leads me to my question:
Which constructs/features in JavaScript are syntactically invalid in ActionScript 3.0? Please provide concrete examples of JavaScript code (basic JavaScript code without DOM API usage) that is NOT valid ActionScript 3.0 code.
We have an application that works no problems on our server with FMS in test mode. As soon as we enter our FMS license key we get this error: "application is not a valid signed application loading access denied".We removed the license key and it works again, but with user limits obviously, so this is not an acceptable fix.
I have a combobox and list component on the stage. The combobox has 3 selections. How do I get it so that each selection triggers the specific xml file to load into the list component? I can't get them to communicate to each other.
I want to write the bulk of data into xml file ,the data coming from the backend(mysql) using cgi by httpservice, read the xml file and bind it into list. can anyone send the sample code for this?
I'm making a flash app that play's movie clips on the main stage.
I have 4 buttons on the bottom for 4 different catagories of movie clips.
I plan to be able to update the catagories with 5 new movies per week (replacing 5 older movies).
My knowledge of actionscript is limited, so I have just imported each individual flv (which are hosted on a webserver) onto individual keyframes on a movie clip and just placed a simple gotoAndplay action script on buttons to play the movies.
My question is: Is it possible to have a file with the list of .flv url's on it and then each keyrame to look at the file and load a specific line.
i.e. keyframe 1 load line1 from movie list, keyframe2 load line2 from list etc etc.
This would save me alot of time, as at the moment I am going into each keyframe and changing the url of the flv when I update. If I could just change the url's on the text file, that would be great.
Let say, I am loading xml file. And I have done addEventListener for Event.Complet. while xml is loaded, After completion of complete event, I declare I passed value to my attribute but it does not show in. E.g.: ....this is a class main var keyword:KeyWord = new KeyWord();
We are trying to build a game in flash with AS3 (Im no pro with this)I've got 7 Movieclips and 7 Buttons.none of the 7 Movieclips should be on stage, they only appear when you've clicked 3 of the 7 buttons. once these 3 are clicked 1 of the 7 Movieclips should appear.Now I've got the code to make 3 selections and make it show 1 movieclip.and I've gotten the code to make a random movieclip appear.My question: How do I combine these two to make them do what's supposed to for the game.[code]
I originally built this in Flash 8, then moved the files over to CS4. I have a list component where I've loaded song files through xml and everything is working great. How to make it play one of the 8 files randomly when it starts playing, instead of it always starting with a specified track (currently track one obviously). So each time a visitor comes to the site it is a different song.
How do I manage that, while the movie starts, some parts of the Display List are "hold in the backhand" and get loaded when I decide that they should.Can I only do that via external SWF-Files? Further question: Is it possible to stream the files, by calculating the download speed and starting the movie when I want it to do, or is Flash doing that automatically
I have a list of countries that are in an xml document. I was wondering if here was a way to randomly load ten of these and place them on the stage in random places. I want to get the effect of this intro: [URL]. (not the one with the black background)
I'm making a Flash piece consisting of a few different pages and clicks to take you to different chapters. The company I'm making it for have sent me URL's of pages that will track the person on it - what page they're on, what chapters they view etc.
So, where do I put these url's?If I put them in a getURL won't that just redirect the person away from the page with the SWF in it?
When I am loading external UTF-8 text files (or texts from an mySQL DB) with Flash, if those files contains enters (by the user that create them) I noticed that those enters are replaced by two char codes: 10 and 13 (new line feed + carriage return). If I put the loaded string to a TextField.htmlText I get 2 enters pressed, and thus instead of having 1 line change I got 1 paragraph change.
Can I really do that with the phone? Perhaps I would have to call any of the native API's, but I am not really sure whether and what is possible. I am pretty sure that the camera is accessible, so at the worst case I could send the picture to the server, decode the QR code on the server, and get the results on the phone, right ?
I use flash MX 2004, and I've been facing a problem. I made this flash program to load a jpeg, and to resize and display it.. But the problem is, it works, but not in a stream I mean My program work in 4 phases::
1. Load the jpeg 2. Check and compare the image's height and width with the given parameters 3. resize the image... 3.1.. First height... 3.2.. Then width 4. Display the resized image
The problem I am having is, it does phase 1, then does nothing... I experimented with it a bit, and then i found... Let it do the phase 1, then goto another frame, then back to previous frame... It does step 2.. Do same thing again for other phases... Its sort of like I am refreshing my frame again and again to make my code work in bits and pieces.
