ActionScript 3.0 :: Querying Changed .xml ?

Jul 5, 2010

Is anyone aware of a clever way to query (in AS3) an .xml file so that when the .xml file changes (as the result of an Access query in this case) the AS3 application (Google Maps API) refreshes using the new .xml data?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Querying MS SQL Server DB Via ASP?

Apr 13, 2011

trying to create an AS3 script in order to use an ASP page which can connect and get data from a MS SQL Server 2008 database.I only need to check one DB entry, from my Flash SWF, to see if a user is already registered in a companion Learner Management System (LMS). If the user has already registered, the LMS would have sent his/her name to the MS SQL database (can not be re-configured to write to MySQL, which would be easier using PHP). So, I would need to user middleware like ASP so that the Flash AS3 can call the middleware script which can query the DB.
 
I found a good ASP script for setting up a MS SQL DB query at:[URL] (without DSN version). (I would need to add some way in this ASP page to get an array of registered users' name returned.)The help I need is with the AS3 in the Flash SWF that can call the ASP page and get back the user name. Then a check (with user input of their name in a dynamic text box):if it is in the returned DB table array, then 'thank you for registering.' And the registered user can proceed to frame 2. If not, 'please register using the LMS at [URL] like that.

Flex :: Querying SQLite Database With AIR App

Dec 13, 2010

I have been struggling with trying to interface with SQLite and Adobe AIR. I am using the Flex 4 SDK with AIR 2.0. I modified code from a tutorial by David Tucker on InsideRIA ([URL]). I am writing in FlashDevelop (which I suppose could be my problem), and I can compile and run the app. The issue is that when I go to search the db file, I always get some error which results in the 'BREAKER' trace (ie - the 'queryError' function is called). I have tried simply running the SQL command on the db and it works fine, so there is an issue somewhere in the way Flex or AIR is handling my query (or obviously I could have made a mistake in coding).

Flex :: Querying The State Of A Class's Listener?

Dec 13, 2009

I have instantiated a class (class1) that loads some data via PHP in an AS3 Flex project.I instantiate class1, which is asynchronous and utilizes a URLLoader() to obtain its data.Then I would like to instantiate class2, which needs to USE the data from class1, but when I simply instantiate it I find that class1's instance variable is not populated yet because I am calling class2 too quickly.How can I create such a dependency that will link correctly?I am really new to using listeners, but I am imagining a listener in class2 might be what I need?Or maybe I can pass a reference to the listener in class1 into class2?I also know nothing about dispatching events... is this the key?Here's an example in pseudo code:

var class1:myC1 = new myC1("http://some/url/to/utilize");
//this never shows up because it hasn't loaded at the time i request it
trace("the stuff from class1 is: ", class1.myXMLList);

CS3 Can't Get Changed Var To Control Movieclip

Apr 1, 2009

I've a basic portfolio page with 5 links. The idea being that 4 stay small and the active page is a larger font. When one link is clicked, itself and whatever font is currently large both swoop down and then the large text is replaced by whatever section the user chose.

I haven't keyframed anything, it's all done with actionscript and here it is. I made one of the links show what the var is currently set to in a dynamic text box. That all seems right. But whenever the 'currentchoice' mc is asked the swoop down, it just disappears rather than animates out. Here's the actionscript.

import mx.transitions.Tween;
import mx.transitions.easing.*;
var currentchoice:Object = new Object();
currentchoice.selection = large_anne;

Flash :: Check When A XML Has Changed?

I have this PHP that constantly changes an XML.

So... I'm asking, is there an eventlistener in flash that instantly detects change in XML?

What I do currently is to just load the XML again and again and check if something has changed. BUT it takes about half a second to load the XML again (not from cache).

ActionScript 3.0 :: Instance Names Getting Changed

I know I've read something about this here before but I can't find it, so for Mr. Thicky here, I have dragged some buttons on my stage - each one is actually an instance of the same movieclip. In the IDE, I have given them instance names like 'myButton1', 'myButton2' etc. I've then grouped all these buttons together into a single container movieclip called 'buttonHolder'. Now, in my code, I am trying to retrieve the instance name of the button I have clicked on:

Flex :: How Does A Component Know Whether One Of Its Styles Got Changed

Actionscript 3 :: Set A Value Of A Class And Prevent It From Being Changed?

Dec 14, 2010

Check bottom of this post. I am using MVC and the problem concerns my model. With my code I am creating a board which in turn creates tiles. Every tile on the board gets an X and a Y value. After this I want to prevent access to the setter to prevent myself from accidentally changing the value ever again.

I was thinking of using a constant instead of a variable, but it seems I have to define the value at the time of creation. In other words: const myConst:uint; myConst = 2; // does not work

Right now I have a work-around which I am not happy with. Surely there's a cleaner way.

AS3 :: Flex - How To Know If Dataprovider Or Its Content(s) Is Changed

Now, inside this control; I need to know:

If the dataprovider is changed/assigned. (which I can do... the first approach below works); if any item in the dataprovider collection has changed.

I tried 2 methods that did not do the trick...

1ST APPROACH:

2ND APPROACH:

UPDATE: Edited above.. The first approach lets me know if the dataprovider is changed but not if any item is updated in the dataprovider collection. The second approach does not work at all..

Actionscript 3 :: Run A Function Aftercanvas Has Changed

Apr 3, 2012

I'm having some setbacks in self-learning this language and Flex Builder. Right now I'm trying to make a very simple implementation where a label effectively has its text added to multiple times over the first few seconds that the program is run. The problem I'm running into is that I can't just put all that into one function + one call on that function, as changes to the label's text are apparently not seen until that function runs its full course.So I tried using a viewstack and cloning the canvas a few times, giving each canvas's version of that label a different bit of text. Then I set the initialize function for the viewstack to change the canvases on regular intervals over the first few seconds. But that didn't work either, as the difference isn't seen until the function runs its full course.So then I tried putting function calls on the individual canvases' initialize attributes, and those functions aren't being called at all apparently.I know this probably isn't even the way that you're supposed to animate something in ActionScript or Flex, but I still would like to know how to approach the problem this way for future reference.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Text Can't Show Up When Changed

Jul 16, 2009

I have a dynamic TextField that has the word "DEVICE" filled in in the flash IDE. If I compile and run, it works fine and I see the word correctly.

The problem is if I change the text at runtime. Depending on the word, it doesnt show up correctly, if I change the word to "CARD" I see it just fine, but if I change it back to "DEVICE" then it shows up as "DECE". It won't show the "V" and the "I"... I can't figure this one out since it works if I set it to "DEVICE" in the IDE, but doesn't work if I dynamically change it to "DEVICE"

ActionScript 3.0 :: X Value Changing When Width Changed

Aug 3, 2011

I'm working with a rectangle I used code to generate

hpBar.graphics.beginFill(0xFF0000);
hpBar.graphics.drawRect(40, 40, 90, 22);
hpBar.graphics.endFill();
addChild(hpBar);

The rectangle itself works fine without any problems, but when I try to change the width of the rectangle, it's x value decreases slightly, but I'm not sure why it does this. (90 is the original width, hpPerc is another value that will for my uses always be between 0 and 1).
hpBar.width = 90* hpPerc;
Unfortunately, as I stated, changing this shape's width seems to change the x value as well, which really doesn't work at all.

Flex :: Pop Up An Alert To The User Before A Combobox Value Is Changed

Sep 30, 2009

I have a project in which i need to pop up an alert to the user before a combobox value is changed. This feature is to allow the user to stay in current state if modifications were not saved. Meaning that the user will be able to cancel the change. I have sub classed ComboBox and tried to hook on ITEM_CLICK of ComboBox.dropdown but this event is triggered after the value is changed. Also, I've tried MOUSE_CLICK ans MOUSE_DOWN but without success.

In my code, I have added a "preChange" event to my CustomComboBox. This event should be triggered before a change is made. Also, I've introduced a method called commitChange that will be called manually to actually commit the change.

Flash - Update 100+ Variables If Something Is Changed In A Different Class?

Jun 10, 2010

I have a class Grid which produces a graph paper like grid on in the drawing area. I then have 5 other classes for different shapes to draw with; Line, Polygon, Ellipse, Curve, Arc Now, these 5 classes use an instance of Grid because Grid has a resolution and a scale. Inside Grid I have:

public function set resolution(x:Number):void {
_gap = (modBy10(x) / 10);
_scale = (modBy10(x) / (this.resolution * _scale));

[code]....

I'm just lost for a solution on how to update every instance of my 5 drawing classes when Grid is changed.For instance, Polygon is made up of multiple instances of Line, Line(length, angle) where "length" is in either in, ft, cm, or m. If the user wishes to change the scale from say 10ft per 100px resolution to 20ft per 80px.. Is there an easier way than re-drawing every Line inside Polygon?

AS2 :: Xml : Update/store Changed XML Node Value In Flash?
