ActionScript 3.0 :: Populating Combobox With External XML
Nov 19, 2008
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'm working with Flash CS4 and ActionScript 3. I have a .flv file with about 30 cue points created in Soundbooth. When I run my video my listener picks up the cue points as expected. What I am trying to do now is populate a combobox with a list of all the cue points in the .flv file. Seems like it should be a super easy task to access an array of all the cue points in the .flv - but so far no luck.
I am trying to populate a datagrid based on a value selected from a combobox. The data comes from a xml file, which looks something like this,[code]The user can list data in the datagrid based on either "media" and "region." For example, the user should be able to choose "Europe" from the combobox and list "only" media having "Europe" in the region tags. In this case, if the user chooses "Europe" from the Combobox only one listing (rammstein) will be seen in the Datagrid.However, it doesn't work. I get a blank datagrid. Loading data into the datagrid is not the problem, because if I just use a straight For loop with no conditions I fill the datagrid no problem. The problem comes up when I try to control what data get listed in the datagrid based on selected value in the combobox.[code]
I am trying to populate a combobox component with XML, but getting an error when publishing which is "accessof unknown property comboXML".The AS3 code looks like this.
Code: /*populates the combo box with XML*/ comboXML = new XML();
First project using flash and im having some problems with a combobox function im trying to apply. I have a combobox that I hope when selected populates an input text box on another frame. When I test when the input text box is on the same frame the code below works and the selection is shown, but i want to show the input text field on another frame and this doesnt work.
What I have atm is a combobox with types of products in it. How do I populate a new combobox using the product names from an external xml file? I've already loaded the xml file so I don't need that code. What I want is for the names of the products in the label and the child number in the data field (product.type.name[n] - I want n in the data field).
The movie works fine when there is 2 frames and there is a button with "play" command, on the first frame, what leads to the second frame. What I need is the code from second frame, working on first frame. When I do that, it loads nothing to the combobox? Sample: [URL]
First frame actions: [AS]loadVariablesNum("replaycars.php", 0); stop(); [/AS]
Second frame actions: [AS] stop(); arv = 0; function uuenda() { [Code] ....
I have a combobox component, when I selecet one lable its loads an external swf file, the movie loads fine after loading movie combobox menu went behind the loaded movie.[code]
I'm looking for a way to use an XML driven Combobox to load external .JPG's and .swf files into my Flash file. I'm a Graphic Designer (way more of a designer than a coder, so I'm no pro when it comes to Action Script) used to AS2.
I'm trying to implement this for an instance of ComboBox specifically, which uses a List to display the dropdown menu full of items. Lists can have icons associated with them, as described in the documentation:
var comboBox = addChild(new ComboBox()); comboBox.dataProvider = new DataProvider([{label:'item1',iconClass:IconClass1},{label:'item2',iconClass:IconClass2}]); comboBox.dropdown.iconField = 'iconClass';
... assuming IconClass1 and IconClass2 are valid classnames of symbols in our library, this code works perfectly.
Here's my question - the contents of this ComboBox will be XML-driven, populated dynamically, and I'd really rather include that icon reference as a filename instead of a classname, so that when the whole thing is implemented, the icon can be changed in the XML without opening Flash and adding a new symbol to the library. Clients aren't generally good at that sort of thing.
Ideally, I'd like to be able to find a way to reference the container for the instance of that icon class - the ComboBox.dropdown is obviously keeping a reference to each list item somewhere, and if I can find it, I can load the icon images dynamically, then addChild them to the icon instance.
I'm using Flash CS3 and want to create a custom ComboBox. I've followed the steps outlined in "Editing component skins in a new document" (http:/[url]...), but every time I get to the step where I drag the ComboBox Assets folder from the HaloTheme.fla library into my library, if I test movie at that point my combobox has become an unclickable white rectangle with no label, button or anything.
I'm trying to set a specific list item in a mx combobox to have a custom item renderer, the problem is that I cannot do this via mxml, it needs to be done via actionscript at a later stage, eg: combobox gets created, combobox gets populated, user does other tasks, combobox needs to set one or more items in the combobox to have icons (via item renderer)..
I can do this via the onChange event, but it only applies the icon when the combobox is opened and there is a slight delay so you can see the icon being added.
**Warning** The linkage identifier 'ComboBox' was already assigned to the symbol 'ComboBox', and cannot be assigned to the symbol 'GUI MC/Combo Boxes/abc', since linkage identifiers must be unique.**Warning** The linkage identifier 'ComboBox' was already assigned to the symbol 'ComboBox', and cannot be assigned to the symbol 'GUI MC/Combo Boxes/def', since linkage identifiers must be unique.
Both of my ComboBoxes has the same identifier.I could not change the identifier through the properties tab because it is greyed out.
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.
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?
So I have a list box on stage with the instance name "lb" I'm trying to get some text from my xml list into this list box? In this case the @TITLE data.
I'm able to trace the data from the xml file into the output window, but I can't figure how to display that text in the list box.
Why is this not populationg the fiedls with images? The XML is well formatted (I tested)myThumb has a Loader called myPicMC, where the pics are supposed to load. I supposed the proble is with the code in bold blue. [code]
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 have have a problem loading and accessing data from a value object in my new project.. I load an xml file via a service, which contains title and locations of asset files, I need to be able to access the location of an asset file by specifying the title and retrieiving it from a value object.. I'm using the Robotlegs framework, here's an example of the xml:-
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.
where the component before / represents parent and the children of the corresponding parent are separated by , Can anyone provide me the logic to create a array collection for this hierarchy to set as dataprovider to my tree.
In the below code.If buttom 'A' is pressed the text box should be populated with A, and if button 'B' is pressed it should be populated with B and so on..
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've got the following in an .as Class file called PIX, there is another .as Class file for the Sprite object 'px' that contains a dynamic textfield called pxText I'm trying to populate with the value of the variable 'j'. here's the code I got to work:
Code: public function init():void { pxRow = stage.stageWidth / 10; for(var j:uint = 0; j < pxRow; j++) {
I'd like to populate a datagrid from an array I created from an external text file. The array looks like this: 422239;24H.SE;20100507;1;1;0.00,I'd like to use the second to sixth item to populate the grid, but I have no clue how to get into a datagrid since it has the array data has no colums or names
