ActionScript 3.0 :: Pulling In Content Via XML (auto-updates)
Feb 11, 2009
I have a countdown clock that needs to be automatically updated once it reaches 00:00:00:00 (dynamic textfields: days, hours, minutes, seconds).
The days, hours, mins, secs are pulling from an XML file.
Trouble I'm having is figuring out the best way to pull one XML node at a time and then updating the information once it reaches zero.
Should I be using the Timer class to update these textfields or can I cycle through each node at a time.
Basically, I'm just sort of lost in how this would normally be accomplished and need a nudge.

When a flash player is being hosted on https server, can I pull content to play on it from an http server. Would this work or give a mixed content warning or some other problem?

I have a list of items dynamically loaded from an XML file into my flash movie.Each item is positioned vertically with some buffer space between it and the preceding item.However, if the amount of items exceeds the flash objects height,then the excess items are invisible (because you cant scroll through them!).So then is it possible to make some form of call (undoubtedly an externalinterface call to a javascript function) that will resize the height of the flash object to fit all of this dynamically loaded content so that the browser's scrollbar is triggered allowing the user to scroll through?Or is it more practical to simply carve up my own scrollbar to fit the entire flash movie?

Is it possible to make text content for a site in Flash be changed/updated by
someone without having to take the route of Flash? Like I have a text file in notepad, or Word and the text will automatically appear in the swf file?

autoscroll functionality in Flex2's DataGrid while dragging an element row in it. Is there such a functionality or not?
I mean, I have a DataGrid which contains a collection of rows. The collection is longer that the DataGrid could fit, hence there is a vertical scrollbar that allows to get to the rest of rows. I have enabled the functionality of moving-by-draging to be able to change the order of rows in the DataGrid (see the simple code below).
Now, let's say I want to move the first (topmost) row to the last (bottom) position of the collection. When the top row is displayed, the bottom one is not visible (not without moving the scrollbar). So when I drag the top row, I cannot drop it beyond the few currently visible rows. Surely I could drag a bit and then scroll to bottom and then drag a bit more, but that's not the point. The point is - is there a functionality of autoscroll implemented in Flex2 DataGrid, where the collection would scroll itself automatically to allow one to drag beyond the few visible rows?
In Adobe's official PDF document "Flex2 Developer's Guide", section "Using drag-and-drop with list-based controls" I've found this sentence:
Quote:
If the control has active scroll bars, hovering the mouse pointer over the controls top or bottom scrolls the contents.
Well, it suggests that there should be this functionality I ask about. But it doesn't work for me.
Here's the simple code that builds the DataGrid in Flex2, that fails to autoscroll, if you care to check it:

But this is only for 1 movieclip. And I need the entire stage and everything of whats in it (except for the layer with the background image) to be moved this way. But how?Also want the scroll to be restricted to a max y-position of 860px even if the entire stage goes as far as a height of 1508px.

I am working on a flex app that uses XML templates to dynamically create DisplayObjects. These templates define different layouts that can be used for each page of content in the app (ie , 2 columns, 3 columns etc etc). The administrator can select from one of these and populate each area with their content.
The templates add one of 3 types of DisplayObject - HBox, VBox or a third component - LibraryContentContainer (an mxml component that is defined as part of the app) - which is effectively a canvas element with a TextArea inside. The problem that I am getting is that I need each of these areas to automatically resize to fit the length of the content but don't seem to be able to find an effective way to do so.
In the LibraryContentContainer, when the value of the TextArea is set, I am calling .validateNow() on the LibraryContentContainer. I then set the height property on both the TextArea and LibraryContentContainer to match the textHeight property of the TextArea. In the following example, this is the LibraryContentContainer, viewer is the TextArea and the value property of the TextArea is bound to this.__Value. v is the variable containing the content for the textarea

I'm using the update function of Adobe Media Encoder and see that an update is available. I click on download and install it. Everything works fine and I get the message that the update was installed successfully. But when I start AME again it still shows 4.0.0.374 instead of 4.1.0 - what's wrong? I never had this problem before. I also tried to download and install the update by hand. Same result.especially when I see that the contact form of Adobe's customer support portal is offline.

I'm making an interactive film. At certain points within the film, the viewer has the ability to select from a few options that will direct them to an external video clip (they are flashback scenes). The main story pauses when the user selects a flashback scene and I'm clear on how to achieve this.
However, my issue is that once the flashback scene ends and the external video closes, I'm not sure how the main story will resume. Is it possible for it to auto-play (resume) in some way? My last resort would be to have the viewer select a play button - this is only because I do not want a break in the narrative and want to limit the amount of clicks the viewer has to make.

I'm writing this post because it seems there is a lack of support and updates regarding Adobe Flash player for the Sony PS3 and also to show that there is a demand for such an update to be made.It appears the BBC is making an effort, even though PS3 users do not have the latest Flash Player, you can still catch up on all missed BBC shows on the new official BBC iPlayer support for the PS3. See the link below.
http:[url]...............
The current version of Flash Player for the PS3 is outdated (on the latest UK firmware v3.01 at the time of this post) and after spending an hour scouring the internet for news on a forthcoming update, with no success, I've decided to come hear and ask why that is? So why is the Sony PS3 always more than 12 months behind on these updates?

Suppose all that happens initially in a client swf is a user clicks a hyperlink in a text object of the swf, so this requests a "page" from the server. In response the server just modifies that existing swf in the client browser, by for example (?) invoking public functions of it, and possibly passing in as parameters the name of image or data files which were also downloaded in response to the URL request. The crucial part is that all that can happen initially in the SWF is a URL "page" request. Is this commonly done and if so, how.

I'm searching for a scriptable/automated way to have the latest version of Flash installed on Windows XP and Windows 7 testing machines.
These machines serve testing purposes, however, because of the number of different machines we have, it is unwieldy to update them all by hand.
How can the installation of Flash be automated?

I'm a CS4 developer, working in Flash, Dreamweaver, Premiere Pro, Photoshop, etc. I love Adobe products, but I am getting pretty weary of Flash Player updates coming every other day, sometimes every day. I work on several computers, both at work and at home, so the inconvenience of having to stop and go through the update process is multiplied. I know it's not usually a time-consuming process, but still, why so frequent?
It might not be so bad if not for all the other self-updating applications on my systems, not the least of which are the various Windows updates. It's just a little obnoxious.

My students have an ongoing keyboarding contest amongst the classes. So I have their keyboarding data in a spreadsheet that gets updated daily. I want to be able to pull the top 3 scores and names to create a type of Leaderboard and load them dynamically each day to my wesbite as an update instead of having to update my site manually each day. Is there a way for me to do this with AS3?

I am using uploadify in a project and I threw a console.log statement in my onProgress callback... It seems to only be executed when starting the upload, and when completing the upload. Even with a very large file upload, that is the behavior I get.The progress bar is based off of Flash sending data, not off of the server-side reporting back what it's received.[code]and then a big long pause while the file is uploading... Then onAllComplete gets hit.I am wondering if this is somehow related to me running my app in development mode on localhost, and if it were hosted on a real server if the result would be different.. But I have no way of knowing that.

I have a PHP process that does a bunch of stuff and I want to send feedback to the Flash client that calls it, as the request is being processed. However, since I'm listening for the COMPLETED event, I don't get the feedback until the PHP completes execution (at which time all the buffered messages arrive at once).

I'm trying to get two different apps to communicate through a file. I would like app 1 to append some text to a file, and app 2 to notice, and read the new bytes (not the whole file). There is an event, ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, that is supposed to fire when new data is available on a FileStream, but it only fires when I first open the file. Basically, I would like to leave the FileStream open, listening like a socket on the end of that file for changes.

I'm wondering if there is a better way to approach this than my current solution...
I have a list of items, I then retrieve another list of items. I need to compare the two lists and come up with a list of items that are existing (for update), a list that are not existing in the new list (for removal) and a list of items that are not existing in the old list (for adding).
Here is what I'm doing now - basically creating a lookup object for testing if an item exists.

I have an ArrayCollection we'll call "Items". It is essentially a flat collection of hierarchical data (each item has Parent and Children properties). I want an AdvancedDataGrid to display the data in hierarchical form, so essentially I could just do this and it would display fine:
// Note: RootItems would be an ArrayCollection that is updated so only the
// top level items are within (item.Parent == null).
var hd:HierarchicalData = new HierarchicalData(model.RootItems);

I use Flash Professional CS5.5 with Gaia FrameWork in my project. movieclips in the project have extended classes and the problem is that when I give new functionality to my classes they doesn't work in an build project. for example function s cann't be found, trace doesn't work and so on. All the old functionality works. When I change class name then it works fine. but then it happens again. I made new project and coped all the content, but still it happens. I event rainstalled flash but nothing works.
