I'm trying to create a pull down menu. Not one that drops down when rolled over but one that drops down when clicked and stays down until an item is selected. Once an item is selected or the menu is clicked out of it retracks again.
My strategy is to create a movie clip for the initial menu that when clicked jumps to another movie clip where ther menu is extracted and houses movie clip buttons that hightlight when rolled over and when clicked redirect to another movie clip related to the button that was selected.
is this the proper way to do this? And second: can you offer some direction for the action script?
EDIT: New problem, post #5 Say I have a flash website made, and to allow for minor information changes to be easily made by someone without flash, they can simply open, edit, and reupload to the webserver a text file that contains that page's info.So, how can I have flash pull text from a file, and always do that every time it's ran (ie, not have to republish a new swf)?
View 4 RepliesI think that you can do this using html but if you have a PDF in your root directory will Flash be able to link to bookmarked pages in that document?
View 2 RepliesI have a script that always returns iframe HTML back to flash. I was looking to get help on how to build some RegEx code to only find the URL. I would only like this substring so I can use it in another script.Here is the iframe code the I want to search for and return the substring:
HTML Code:
<iframe SCROLLING="no" id="myFr" style="width:660px; height:500px; border:0px; margin:0px; padding:0px; overflow:hidden" src="http://www.blabla.net/sdsdsd/?ut=wecsdsd&lang=EN"></iframe>
This is then best O could come up with but unfortunately.... it returns src=" too.
ActionScript Code:
private var _findTheURL:RegExp = /src=u0022(.*)u0022/i;
In CS4, using AS 2.0, I'm using loadMovie to pull in different ads (swfs).This is working great, but one swf is not getting along. It was coded in AS 3.0, and some content beneath masks is not displaying correctly.I obtained the original fla file, but still can't come up with a solution.I tried setting it to 2.0, but then none of the AS works.I don't know Actionscript very well so rewriting the ad's functions is not an option.convert the swf I'm trying to load in? Or an alternative to loadMovie in 2.0?
View 3 RepliesI am using flash CS4, AS2 and have had a client request for something that I'm not sure is possible.
I have created a calculator that calculates the cost savings that my client offers their customers. There are many options available in the calculator and it is quite in depth. At one point there is a pull down menu where the site visitor can choose their product, then enter the amount they pay for it currently. If their product is not listed, the site visitor can choose "other" from the list.
Is it possible that when the client selects "other", the text IN the pull down component for that option could be dynamic, so that the site visitor can enter the name of their product? The product they enter does not need to be submitted anywhere, nor does it need to remain upon that visitor's next visit. It simply needs to be there for the duration of their current session, to help the client keep track of what product they are comparing.
I just started making some simple banners for web sites. I got a new one to do this morning, and I was asked to make a button that says drag/pull here. as you drag/pull down, it reveals the layer below it. Also, as the button reaches halfway, it needs to go all the way automatically as well, so the users don't have to drag all the way down themselves. Is that something I need to do in actionscript
View 3 Replieshow to go about searching for this since I don't know the terms used for it. I am trying to make an interface to use on a website that would have to pull up images and text with no preloading. Think of an online encyclopedia; you put in a word and it pulls up the object/animal/etc with a description. I am looking at needing to pull up thousands of different things; hence the no preloading.
View 2 RepliesI'm using Flash CS4 as my IDE with Actionscript 3 and Flash Player 10. I'm working on a bigger project but the area I'm struggling in is dynamically pulling an image from the flash library (already loaded). I've been finding the same answers to my question all over and they seem to keep producing the same error so apparently I'm just not getting some little detail. I have an image loaded in the library called test1.jpg. I've right clicked on it and selected 'Export for ActionScript' and 'Export in frame 1'. The class is 'MyMc' and the Base class is 'flash.display.BitmapData'. My code is attached.
and it produces the following errors:
quote:
1136: Incorrect number of arguments. Expected 2. 1067: Implicit coercion of a value of type MyMc to an unrelated type flash.display:DisplayObject.

im trying to pull .swf files from MySQL by using PHP, ive set everything in the database up with an ID and licked it properly. Im not sure if the 'type' has to be anything special, right now its just a 'VARCHAR' and when altering the javascript part of it that that flash automatically generated-- in the i tried to echo it out by putting it in the value like

I am currently designing a set of actionscript charts for my company's website. For the set of charts I have set up right now I'm reading all the data from FlashVars, but as you could guess that's not a very good format for charts...

View 2 RepliesI am running into a frustrating problem at the moment, I want to pull a node from the XML and it has a an attribute of "class", but it automatically gets highlighted to blue because flash thinks its a class.[code]...
View 4 RepliesI've got a section in my code where I am trying to pull up a particular xml node based on an id value I have. When I try to pull it up via the method shown the code stops executing at that point. In other words, the "got here" is traced but neither of the two lines after it or any code below that point in the function seem to get executed. If I take that line out the code executes just fine. I'm using this same xml object in many places and the xml data is fine it is just when I try to use this syntax that it gets confused.
I'm also a bit confused as to why the code just stops. I realize that flash doesn't generally display errors at runtime, but if it doesn't show up as a compile error or warning what is the best way to avoid the code hang up? Also is this the correct way to access the node? I actually am trying to retrieve the team attribute on the same node with an id that I'm using in the xml search query. Should playXML.players.(@id == '18431').@team get me that value? It seems to cause the same behavior any time I try to use that syntax even with other attributes from the player nodes and if I use something like playXML.players.@id it returns all the nodes id attributes.
Code: Select alltrace("got here");
trace(playXML.players.(@id == '18431'));
trace("also got here");
Here is the xml:
Code: Select all<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<play>
<players>
<player id="18431" pos="LOT" realpos="OT" name="TT1 Tackle 4" team="1509" number=""/>
[code]....
Edit:I dropped a try/catch statement around this block and that solves the code execution issue but I still can't access the node I want with a given id using the playXML.players.(@id == '18431') style syntax.
I am with a small problem, is the following one, I have my main file that this calling 10 swfs external, example in frame 1 calls one swf, in frame 150 calls another one, in frame 230 calls another one and thus it goes until completing the 10 swfs, I am using something thus for each swf "tran1_mc.loadMovie(_root.i11)", in the HTML if I to place 10 swfs it pulls normal, all certainty so far, but if in my HTML to say only it to pull 3 swfs, it pulls these 3 swfs and the remaining portion is blank, what necessary to make it is when to finish to show to this 3 swf it comes back to the first one, somebody has an idea of as I can make this?
View 5 RepliesI have an array of image width values pulled from XML. I want to simply look at the array and return a value that is equal to the highest number in the array. e.g. the array might end up like array [250,600,350,375]and I just want something that returns the highest value (in this case the 600).
View 9 Repliesim able to pull in an xml file, and push all the data in to arrays. Im pulling out this data and performing calculations on it. Now, iv created a varialble called _global.newLocation = _global.percentage*100;
which equals my percentage change, multiplyed by 100. It works because i have used trace and you can see it.
I would like to then take all these newLocations and put these in to an array so i can refer to them by their index but i just cant seem to get it to work?
OK, I have my php and MySQL working fine. I'm pulling the data. I found how to format the data that is returned in the php as XML. My problem is I can't get my Flash textbox to load the variable from the php file. Like most things, this is probably very easy if you know how.My flash dynamic textbox is given the variable name topTeacher. From what I understand, I don't need to worry about an instance name.My php file looks like this:
<?php
$con = mysql_connect("localhost", "USERNAME", "PASSWORD") or die('Could not connect to server');

pull some text (numbers) from another page and the only way (at the moment) I can think of doing it is to load the page source into a string (or another var), and then break the string down to search for the particular text.
I found a way to do something similar in PHP, but I want to run this from the local PC which doesn't (and can't) have any form of web service running.
For anyone who's interested in why ... we have about 25 odd printers (identical) that every month we collect a colour and mono page count from. Every printer is connected to the network and each one has a web-based menu. To get the page counts, it involves going through around 4-5 different pages, and this has to be done with each printer. So I thought it would be handy if the text from the page counter could be pulled onto a single page (or stage).
I have a list of functions inside an array.I want to pull out the names of these functions as they are written in the array, and display them through the trace.Easy? All I get is a 'type function' ...from what I thought would be as simple as this:::
Code:
var func_ary:Array = new Array(doThis, StartMe, etc);
trace(String(func_ary[2]));
I need to pull numbers out of a string. I can easily iterate over all the characters, but the problem I am having is that often the numbers are zeroes. Is there a way to convert a string to an integer other than casting (since int("0") and int("a") both return 0)? Basically I need to be able to differentiate between "string1string" and "string10string".
