This is my flow chart for the project:
Frame 1;
1. User enter in a textinput named "studentname"
2. username is stored in a sharedobject (studentlist)
3. Show data of what previous students entered by evoking studentlist
Frame 2:
3. Current user enter other details, then movie loops back to Frame 1..
How do i store the a list of all students who entered their names in studentlist?
I have a database all set up and working between flash and SQL .The set up allows me to add entries and receive data.. all this works great..The only problem I'm having is that when I want to update the score when clicking on a button..I can only send or receive data, and what I actually want to do is overwrite the current entry with a new entry to update the score..
View 3 RepliesI've installed developer version of Flash Media Server 4.5 and trying to get remote object, but no matter how I call my object all i get is this error .I've rad configuration guide and it told me that I should set StorageDir for shared objects, enable RPC (<RPC enabled="true">) and allow shared object (<Allow>users</Allow> in <RPC> - <SharedObject> tags)

I need to find the new item in a new set that is not in an existing set. here is an example:
// current set
{file, file, file, file, file}
// new set
{file, file, file, file, file, file}
- The current set contains a list of file objects (for example)
- The new set contains another set of file objects, however it contains most of the same files in the current set, but now includes a brand new file.The new file in the new set needs to be pushed onto the current set.
Restrictions:
- The new set cannot replace the current set, only the new file can be appended.
- The files cannot be directly compared because each file in the new set that references the same file as a reference in the current set is not the same instance. Therefore they need to be compared by property, in this case, teh file name.I have the general work out of the algorithm:
actionscript Code:
for each(var currentFile:FileInfo in currentSet) { for each(var newFile:LocalFileInfo in newSet) { if(newFile.name == currentFile.name) { }}
But i just cant work out how to extract the new file. I will get it eventually, but im kinda hoping that someone will find a better solution entirely. one that might not even require so many loops.
I have table named "highscore" like this:
nameQL scoreQL
piotr 50
And flash game with NAME and SCORE exported to PHP with this names.How to make this in PHP file:
IF (NAME exists in database (nameQL)AND SCORE> this.name.scoreQL){Raplace scoreQL with SCORE WHERE nameQL=NAME}
IF (NAME doesn't exists){Create new row with NAME and SCORE)
I have a very simple line of code that i'm trying to modify to display a specific entry in a xml file:
AS3 Code:
// The first step is to activate the XML object
AmbientSettingsXML = new XML();
With the XML Object now active you must now load an XML foramtted document.
Any DTD or XLS formatting will be ignored.
AmbientSettingsXML.onLoad = myLoad;
[Code] .....
So the question is, how do I display the "event_title" entry only? (String)
can anyone see why i'm getting an "undefined" at the the end of this xml list using this code:
PHP Code:
var vetXML:XML;
var vetLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();

I need to limit form data entry to once a day. I have created a login and a PHP script that writes variables to a txt file. However, I want to limit the users ability to enter data to the server date, so that they can only enter in data once per day. For example, a poll that allows a user base to vote once per day. I need to do it using Actionscript, PHP, CGI, or javascript.
View 2 RepliesThis seems so simple and easy, yet I can't manage to do it, even after several hours of searching!
All I want to do is:
Have a text box field that a user can enter a string into and then display this string on other frames.
I'm using Actionscript 3.0 and Flash CS5.
I have this so far on the frame for the string entry [code]...
This is what I have going on. Let's say I have a grid of movieclips, in this grid you can click on each movieclip and it will bring up that paticular movieclip. This movieclip has various frames on it 1,2,3,4,5,6. Each one of these frames contains all of the movieclips that the grid links to.
If I click on the first mc in the grid the slideshow will work fine, however, if I click on say the 3rd movieclip the slideshow will not work. I need to be able to figure out which frame it's exactly on so I can manage to be able to loop through all the frames..

View 3 RepliesI have five text boxes and a dropdown box in my flex application, how can I make the progress bar fill up when there is text in each box, and the dropdown selected. For example, if there is input in three out of five of the boxes and there is a selection in the dropdown, then the progress bar would be 4/6 full.
View 1 RepliesI have an array created by .push method. The entries are like:
myArr=(
{item:"Item 1", type:"type A", date:"09/05/10"},
{item:"Item 2", type:"type A", date:"12/05/10"},
{item:"Item 3", type:"type B", date:"27/04/10"},

I forgot to mention that, i've done it by spliting the date entry to subentries and sort the array according to them and it can be also be done by creating a new array by fetching entries from the prototype.. but i wanted to see if there is a more "proffesional" way to do this.
How do I push an entry into an associative array?
ActionScript Code:
var lijst:Object = new Object({fname:'John', lname:'Carpenter'});
lijst.push({mname:'Frank'});
[code]...
This doesn't work. The first name and last name work because they are created when the object was created, but the pushed middle name remains undefined.I understand that associative arrays are in fact objects. I tried turning it into a real array so the Push command would work cause it's part of the Array Class.
ActionScript Code:
var lijst:Array = new Array({fname:'John', lname:'Carpenter'});
lijst.push({mname:'Frank'});
[code]....
Though this works, it only works when using a '1'. When in fact I want to keep it inside the '0' entry.So how do I really add an entry into an assciative array? So that in above example instead of each having two elements one is added resulting in three elements per entry?
Is is possible to remove history entry from swf address somehow?

Atm the home page loads up a swf gallery that literally just displays a photo then fades in/out onto the next photo etc
it always loads the first frame obviously but i was wondering if there was a way to randomly jump to another part of the timeline each time the home page was reloaded?? its not essential but would be a nice touch
Okay I have two arrays, one full of bullets, the other enemies. They compare each array and hit detect. The splice function is removing the Array instance of the enemy. Now, this is all good for removing the entry from the array, the trace function says this is working, but I'm not sure how to remove the child from the stage here? I figure calling a custom class from here such as enemy.die(); is possible, but how do I specify the instance that was hit detected? Sorry if this doesn't make a lot of sense but I am just learning and trying everything I can think of.

I am trying to create an audio that only uses the first entry in an xml file. I have most of the things working but I keep getting an error related to the audio file.
TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert "http://rivervalleychurch.net/sermonaudio/Podcast/06_Jesus_Save_Your_Church_First_Love.mp3" to flash.net.URLRequest.

I inserted the url for the file into error message so you can see if there is s problem with that. I was initially trying to use a variable to hold the url for me, because this xml file gets updated every week and I only want to access the most recent entry.
This is my first attempt at making an audio player in flash, so I am sure I have made a simple mistake, but for the life of me I cannot figure out what it is.
Here is the code I have so far: (Please Try not to Laugh, at least not out loud)
//Load the podcast.xml File
var xmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
var xmlData:XML = new XML();

One last question is in regards to using id3 tags versus xml tags to fill dynamic text fields in the player. Currently I am using the xml file to do this, are there any advantages one way or the other for this. The only reason I ask is that I am hoping to display an "album art" image from the id3 tag in the player. Would it be better to grab all of the information from the mp3 file?
The issue I am running across is this: I encoded and embedded a movie clip to act as the background. There are other animations that can and will loop, as the movie resets itself. But there are some elements that I only want to run once and not repeat once the embedded movie loops (link introductions, where objects fly in and transition into the button). How can I set the one time animations to fire just once, while keeping the embedded animation on a loop?

I need to make a preload script that needs to preload all the pages of a websites only once.I have 10 html pages with swf in it that I need to load in only 1 time. At first I had 10 preload script just before every pages but now I need only 1 to preload them all. My second issue is that I have many entry point, someone can enter from the index (1 link to the homepage), the sitemap (links to the 10 pages) or even could simply have the address of a specific page in their bookmarks. So is there a way to write a script that will check if the preload(for the 10 pages) have been done every time someone enter one of the 10 page and if it hasn't it start the preload.
View 1 RepliesI have a drag-and-drop event form in a flex project. I need to run a validator right after the item is dragged into the dataGrid. In it, I fire off a function through dragDrop="verifyEventUsers()". In the validator, I compare the contents of the two arrayCollections, but it appears to be running the checks prior to completion of the drop. For instance, if I drag an element into the dataGrid and trace eventUsers.length inside the validator, I get zero. When I drag the second element, it traces as one even though two lines now appear.
How can I set up a validation script that runs after the drag-drop action has finished?
How do I get a Boolean value in AS3 whether a table or an entry exists in the database?

having a really frustrating problem. I have a file, originally penned by anoother developer in CS3 and resaved as CS4. It uses datagrids extensively. When clicking on a cell in a data grid it now fails to render the font (or a blinking carat for that matter). When you click off and finish the edit the text you enter is there, of course that isn't much use because you can't see what you're typing.I haven't changed how these grids work in anyway, and it was working in CS4 before *mysteriously* stopping.Have tried setting the font to one that is embedded in the setStyle of the custom renderer the cell is using but it makes no difference - everything renders fine when not editing but disappears when editing.
