View 5 RepliesI have seen more than a couple of sites using flash content and displaying it based on the URL string.
For example, accessing http://domain.com/ loads the site normally and the SWF object displays the home page and sets the URL to http://domain.com/#/home. Then accessing the About section sets the URL to http://domain.com/#/about
Also, if accessing http://domain.com/#/services directly (from the browser's address bar), loads the site and the SWF displays the Services section automatically.
I have an AxShockwaveFlash object in a Windows Forms application, and load a (AS3) movie into it with LoadMovie. The movie plays correctly, but I am having a problem getting a variable from flash.I have tried using GetVariable but it always returns an empty string. How can I get the value of a variable from flash?
View 2 Repliesan easy answer for 99% of you. I have a custom class 'Users()'. In PHP I have all the values being populated correctly. When I go to Flash Builder - and do the test function - All the data comes back properly. However, when I click a button and refer to the lastResult property of the CallResponder - it comes up NULL the first time, and then if the button is clicked a second time it will return the correct result. What step am I missing? I had the same problem with something simliar last night and am getting BEYOND frustrated - especially since I know it is some SMALL detail I'm overlooking.So just for clarification - lets say there is a button named button1So button1's click handler:1) Validates the text input properties2) Asks the server if that user and password match3) If they do - then I want it to grab all of that specific users info and put it into a User class. Again - when I test this function/method from within Flash Builder all the values come back as they should. It's just on the first button click they come back NULL...he second click they populate fine - I.E.-
Alert.show(currentUser.userFirstName); (First Click - NULL)
Alert.show(currentUser.userFirstName); (Second click - "Jack")

Is it possible to retrieve the name of an XML node and his successors?
I wanna do a news program in flash that interface with an XML file.. The flash program have to inserted text and images retrieved from XML[code]...
1. Create a XML/PHP driven menu that uses PHP to generate a XML file with database results.
2. Use flash to retrieve the XML and dynamically add movie clip, menu buttons that have label values, IDs, and whether or not the menu item is published from XML, to the menu.
I found some code from a tutorial that took XML data and added a movie clip to the stage, added a label, and an ID; however, I could not get it to get a URL property to the button and initiate the navigateToURL to actually get the unique variable to come from the XML to each instance of the button. I have attached the ZIP file with the original tutorial AS file.
i want the value of "newAngle" to be accessible outside of this function.
I am doing something dumb i'm sure....

function aim(e:MouseEvent):void

I am trying to access data from an array. The array is in the root and I am trying to get it's data into a submovie. In as2 it would have been:
mylabel.text = _root.myarray[1];
So, i have tried:
mylabel.text = root.myarray[1];
and
mylabel.text = (this.root as Array).myarray[1];
and tons of other configurations.. I get the 1119 error no matter what i do. I am beginning to think I just can't get the info from the array in a sub movie..
I am using the setStyle to set the text label on some buttons in flash. AS3.Set font to bold and color to red. myButton.setStyle ("textFormat", redBoldFormat);I do this on as part of a function when the button is clicked.Is there a way to retreive the textformat settings (like bold, etc) so I can un-set the format? I have 5 buttons, when one is clicked, it goes bold and red.When a different button is clicked, I would like the previously clicked button to go back to "not bold" and "not red" and so on,
View 1 RepliesI will try to state this simply. If required I can post my code. I have created a class that extends the MovieClip. It is basically a retangular shape, with a color and a label that can be set via the "properties" concept. The label.text property is public.
I create a "new" object of this item (more or less a button) depending on reading an xml file.
If the file has 3 names (titles like "Lesson 1", Lesson 2" etc). I create a new "button" for each name in the xml file.
so I can get 3 instances of the object on the stage. Which I get. I create each new object like this:
var link:linkBase;
var menu:linkBase;
I use a for loop to read the xml data, and create the instances:
for ....
menu = new linkBase();
// i try to give it an instance name like the
menu.name = xmlList[i].name // name = "Week1", "Week2", "Week3", etc
i push the menu object into an array like this: nav_button.push(menu), in the for loop.
I can draw the three objects on the stage. I have a stage listener that will trace the target name if I click on the instance. I get "null" if I click off the button. My problem is that I get the target name for only the second and third instances, and not the first. If I comment out the menu.name line, and click each instance on the stage, I get "instance9", instance12, instance15. So I know there are three objects there.
I can do something like this to get a name on the first instance: nav_button[0].name = xmlList.week, or hard code a string like "Week1".
But I want to be able to do this in a loop of some sort. I am trying to create a user friendly name for each instance, so I know what I am clicking on, and take action depending on the name "week1", "week2" etc.
what I am missing in terms of naming a instance on the stage?
I would like to retrieve a value from a function(e.MouseEvent)?
[Code]...
When not, which solutions does replace this attempt?
Inside my loop, where i get my XML objects I added a code to draw and add the mask:
var myMask:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
// settings for width height x y color fill etc etc.
myMask.name = "NAME-"+i; // set the NAME
myContainer.addChild(myMask);
myContainer.mask = myMask;
the mask looks fine on the stage.now since i name it, i want to use it for other purpose like moving it now i want to actual call myMask
i get my number "num" from other function, that works fine
function applyMask(num:int):void {
// need to call myMask("NAME-"+num)
}
i have tried myContainer.getChildByNamehave tried:
var masking:myContainer=getChildByName("NAME-"+String(num)) as myContainer;
i have traced for options i can think of myself, but all result no property found.

swf_holder.addChild(loadSwf);

here's the thing, i need to store different values in a 2d array (or something conceptually similar). The idea is to create a 2d map with tiles and the array would save the ID of every tile in the map. I'm trying to create something mildly efficient, specially because i need to save some memory usage for later use (it has to do with AI) and it must run on a low end PC, but simply creating an array seems to be a waste of space since i only have about 50 different IDs at any given map.i thought about creating a 2d array of 8bit chars would be sufficient, but that's out of the question with actionscript 3, it doesn't have 8bit char data type.
View 1 RepliesI use flex and php to retrieve information from my sql database. What i have been doing is formatting the result from the database query into xml and then putting the result into an arraycollection. It all works fine except one of my database fields contains a lot of text that website users enter and as xml doesn't like tags like <> so I leave it un formatted but I would like to format it. Would I be better using flashvars or text than xml? Or is there another way?
