ActionScript 3.0 :: Populating VAR Through XML?
Mar 10, 2010
I have brought in an XML document into Flash (AS3), and can pull any string that I need to into the output window. That is all fine and good - but what I need to do is set var values to be used later.
Here is the simple XML:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<config>
<setting type="buffer">5</setting>
[Code]....
This outputs what I want, but the problem is: if I try and trace newVar our assign another variable the value of newVar outside of the processXML function, it isnt there.

how to get this to work, but I've finally gotten Loadvars working dynamically. However, now I need to take the "avatar" variable and use it to populate a list component. I keep reading dozens of different ways to do it - turn your variable into an array in Flash, etc. What is the best method?

I have main-swf that loads external swf. I made a combobox where user can choose another external swf and main-swf loads that after user have made selection. Everything works fine as long as code combobox labels and datas directly to the actionscript. When I tried to populate combobox with extrernal XML-file, it didnt work.[code]So, what I would like to do is get rid of that "varlehtivalikko: Array = new Array" where combobox data and label info has been stored and load that info externaly from my XML..

I am creating a RSS Feed application based on a data, and I have the following:
I have an ArrayCollection that is pre-populated with data. I am sorting through the ArrayCollection, get 1 piece of data (condition), and need to connect to an RSS feed which returns me the title, and I set my ArrayCollection in correspondence to condition -> title.
public function updateArrayList(list:ArrayCollection):ArrayCollection {
trace(list);
for(var i:int = 0; i < list.length; i++) {
//Alert.show(list.getItemAt(i).condition);

I'm trying to wrap my brain around getting data into my project in a way that I can use.. I want to use MySQL & PHP my Flashbuilder app and I'm not populating a datagrid so......
For simplicities sake, In my database table I have 3 columns "ID, Title & Content". I want to use this to populate the different states in my flashbuilder project.
Normally in a web page I could say in the sql statement "SELECT * FROM table WHERE ID = 1" to get the first row of info and I could put my Title and Content where I want them on my page I can change the query to "SELECT * FROM table WHERE ID = 2" to populate page 2 to get it's title and content.
In flashbuilder it all on the same page and I'm not understanding how to populate a singular text field for a title or content area with a single field from the database.

When receiving an array from flash, in C, how do I populate that array when its size isn't constant but the values types are?
In Alchemy's documentation, the example given is:
S3_ArrayValue(arr, "IntType, StrType, DoubleType", &arg0, &arg1, &arg2);
But this means that if I my array is of size 100, I need to create a string describing each of the cells types.
Isn't there a way to populate it by saying something like "fill the following 'int * array', with the first 100 value from this AS3_Val int array?"

What is the best way to populate a multiple Comboboxes when using Flex 4.5 and PHP 5?
I am developing a Flex app that displays about 20 Comboboxes on the screen - each combo showing different data. I would like all of the comboboxes to be populated at once when the app starts. I used the default "Data/Service" wizard in Flex that automatically creates the PHP that returns an ArrayCollection to Flex. For example, below is the current PHP function I use that populates each ComboBox:
public function getListsByCODE($code) {
$stmt = mysqli_prepare($this->connection, "SELECT a.IDCODE, a.CODE, a.DESCR, a.NOTES FROM DROPDOWN_VW a WHERE (a.CODE = ?)");
$this->throwExceptionOnError();

I am currently trying to write a simple class that handles form validation with a backend script, how the backend script works is that you POST a variable type and it's value and an XML is returned with any errors. The problem is, I want to be able to dynamically generate the variable names so that they don't have to be hard coded into the class. Is this possible?for example:instead of
ActionScript Code:
var urlVariables:UrlVariables = new UrlVariables();
urlVariables.first_name = "foo";

I have a movie clip called "colors" that contains five clips (squares of different colors). I want to see only one of those colored clips at a time and I want them to be chosen at random (which i've accomplished). I would also like to make sure the same clips isn't selected again until all the other clips have been selected. On frame 1, I set up each main clip as a class:
function clipsClass(){}
clipsClass.prototype = new MovieClip;
clipsClass.prototype.onLoad = function(){
pickClips(this);
}
Object.registerClass("colors", clipsClass);

I have a combobox and a datagrid that are both populated by an xml. The combobox works perfectly. The datagrid is loading something cause the auto scrollbar comes up and is longer or shorter depending on what category I select from the combobox. For some reason the datagrid simply isn't displaying any text. I'm sure it's something small that I'm overlooking, but I just can't find it.Here are the source files for the issue I am having.

While it's clearly possible to create MovieClips, I want to know: Is it possible to make multi-frame movieclip animations programatically? That is, is it possible to decide how many frames there are in the MovieClip, and specify the contents of each frame?I was intending to programatically generate a small MovieClip containing three frames, each with the text "Loading." "Loading.." and "Loading..." respectively, so that I wouldn't have to set up a timing event to change them manually. When I tried to figure out how to do this, however, I found that I couldn't set the number of frames in a MovieClip object, and there didn't seem to be any way to alter them directly.

I recently learned how to populate a component list, using an array like this:
Code:
var colours:Array = [
{label:"Blue", data:0},[code]....
Now I want to take it a step further, and populate the component list using values from an XML file. I have loaded up the XML file correctly, but I'm not sure about the syntax to use it, as I'm not really familiar with arrays that use curly braces to provide properties. My XML file contains data like this:
Code:
<colourList>
<colour>
<colourLabel>Blue</colourLabel>[code].....
it updates the list with each item in the XML progressively, and I end up with only the final item.

Wasn't sure where to post this one as I'm not sure where the error is occuring.I have datagrid components being populated from a mySQL DB using php. The grids exist on external swfs being loaded into a parent clip.The datagrids populate locally no problem when tested individually and when loaded into the parent clip. They have also been working from the server in previous days, but I was doing final tests checks on some recent final changes and now things aren't working.obviously I went back and ran through what I changed but nothing really applied to the grids.Codes are below
Code:
//DISPLAY ON TAP BEERS

I'm fairly new to Actionscript 3, I'm creating a simple bar graph. There are 5 movie clips relating to years {mcYear0, mcYear1, mcYear2, mcYear3, and mcYear4} then there are 6 bars in each year representing animal population (all the animal movieclips nested in the years are named the same from year to year, so mcFrogs in mcYear1 is also mcFrogs in mcYear2). When you roll over an animal, I want a box to pop up and populate that animal's population over the years. I'm not worried about populating the box but for some reason my code to make the box pop up on the animals is only working on the last year (mcYear4).
Here is my code:
mcYear0.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, HOver);
mcYear1.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, HOver);
mcYear2.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, HOver);
mcYear3.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, HOver);
mcYear4.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, HOver);
function HOver(e:Event) {
