I have 2 classes and im trying to receive the variable "xmlResult" from the object my_XML,but its always null.I understand that is an asynchronous problem, but I dont know how to resolve this.

I want to create a few buttons which users can choose from to change the XML file for my RSS Reader in Air for Android. This is what the button will need to update:
var rssURL: URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://newsrss.bbc.co.uk/rss/newsonline_world_edition/front_page/rss.xml");
The above XML is the default one I have chosen. What code would I need for them to do this?
this seems like it should be simple but for some reason i can't figure out how to get the value of a variable out of a URL query string. if this is in my location bar: [URL] and i just want the value of "chosenCLIP" to use in my loaded SWF file, how do i do it in AS3?

I just reinstalled the entire operating system Microsoft XP last night (package 3 was updated today). The O/S installed Flash 9. But, I went through all of this last November and saved the installation program. I went to a website that said I needed to upgrade to version 10.1 and allowed me to click on it. It would open a page to adobe where I could then choose how to download it (cuz I knew I needed to uninstall the 9 first). But this website automatically downloaded and tried to install the new one before I got the old one uninstalled!
So, I cancelled the installation and then uninstalled the version 9. But, when I tried to go back to adobe to install the version 10, the above message was spit out at me (causing me to "spit bullets" of my own!). I've tried to install it again but when I go to the download page, it just sits there and does nothing. I'm assuming my problem was caused by a "crossover" between the attempted installation of version 10 and the uninstall of version 9. The flashplayer version 10 worked perfectly fine on this same exact computer/system until today!
I am getting a very strange error:
error I get when trying to execute static function createDeadShip in Deadship:
Quote:

This is truly the strangest error i've ever seen.
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.
I m working on learning how to bring XML info into Flash. Eventually Im trying to pull a bunch of data about Interstate 80 drug and cash stops for an interactive project to go with a big centerpiece story for the newspaper I work for. I ve been through a [url]..... tutorial three times now.I made a dataset, bound it to a datagrid and attached the datagrid to the xml file. When I run a trace,I can see in the output window that the XML is being pulled in. But I must be doing something wrong nothing is being displayed in the datagrid. It should bring in the first three items in the code:

Let say I have two type object, one is MovieClip and other is Sprite, then I'm creating a function to access its child.
ActionScript Code:
function accessChild(parentObj:Object, childObj:Object):void {
trace(parentObj.childObj);
}
Then using "Analyze Project Source Code..." from FlashDevelop tools to analyze my code, I've got an error message:
"Do not use Object class. It is a bad practice to use the dynamic class Object. Prefer using strongly typed object, or marker interface in order to avoid silent compilation errors while refactoring". What type of object should I use in the parameter if I don't know the type of object if using an Object class as type object is a bad practice?

I'm building an AIR desktop application. At one point the application loads a popup window (an MXML component based on s:Window), which contains an mx:HTML component which loads a local (in the application directory) html file, blank.html. The relevant elements in blank.html are:
<script src="jw/jwplayer.js"/> <!--JW Player's JS-based Embedder-->
<div id="jwtarget" /> <!-- the target that the embedder will use -->
Since the parameters I want to use are determined at runtime, I use the domWindow property to invoke the method which loads the player. Here's an example that works:

I have a class in my .fla's library called StatBar_object. StatBar_object is an inherited class that extends from a custom class StatBar, while StatBar extends from MovieClip.
However, StatBar's constructor has a parameter (the constructor reads "public function StatBar(target:int)"). Thus, I continually get an output of:
"ArgumentError: Error #1063: Argument count mismatch on StatBar_object(). Expected 0, got 1.
at actionscript.stat::StatBox_object()
at actionscript.modes::battle_mode()"
Is there any way to get StatBar_object's constructor to include StatBar's parameter?

I'm having troubles activating the HitTest, passing the objects name as a parameter through a global function. Let's say there is the following function on the main timeline:
Code:
_global.fallIntoBasket = function (fallingObject) {
if (_root[fallingObject].hitTest(_x, _root.basket_mc._y+(_root.basket_mc._height/2)-7, true)) {
trace ("teste");
_root[fallingObject]._alpha=0;
}}
I then call this function passing the this._name of the object as a parameter in a onClipEvent (EnterFrame) on each of the falling Objects action box. The whole detection thing doesn't work though... but if I place the hitTest code on each of the object, and change the _root[fallingObject] to this it works. Can I not pass hitTest through a function?

i've been struggling with the following:
i am creating a list of buttons with an attachMovie. the AS is :
//as
var i = -1;
while(++i<userlist.length){
var user = userlist[i];
[Code].....
okay the problem is this: then i assign an on click function to every button right in the while loop that uses the data parameter of the "ob" object and when i play the movie the data parameter is always the parameter of the last object created for all the buttons. I know why this is happening- it overWrites the old "ob" with the new with every itteration of the loop.
But how would i go differently about creating an individual "ob" for each button created and still be able to have a function with a data parameter like this.onRelease.userClicked(data)?
I would like to change the parameters of an object, or values like width and height, via javascript but I need a very lightweight method. In the end some of the thing that I want to change would be width, height and a parameters src value. So far I'm having no luck of getting it by id $('#test').attr('src','test.html') or the javascript method of getElementById().
What is the best - lightweight - method to do this?
An object being like this:
<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="600" height="500" data="http://www.thisembed.com" style="margin:0px;padding:0px">

I want to display the image selected in a loader.
I am getting a mysterious result when trying to load profile images from a logged in Facebook user's friends list into an as3 canvas app. In pretty much every (non-facebook) application I've made where loading an image is required I use the following:
private function loadPic():void
{
var url:String = Facebook.getImageUrl(_friendslistObjectArray[_loadCount].id);
_picLoader = new Loader();[code]............
I can't retrieve the image from the event object,and I am given no error at all.It all just fails silently.If I remove the line var image = evt.target.content, the process runs through the whole array.I can't think of any reason this would occur. Furthermore, if I look in firebug's net activity, I see I see the images get loaded as long as I do not have the line I just mentioned included. I just can't seem to get the image data from the event object to add it to stage or a container movieclip.
Can we skip an optional parameter and assign value to the parameter after the skipped one?
For example I have a function:
public function Dialog(message:String,title:String="Note",dialogsize:int=99):void
{
}
I can easily call the function with a message and a title:
Dialog("HELLO","Intro");
Is there a way to skip the title and just pass in the dialogsize? I've tried it but can't make it work:
Dialog("HELLO",,dialogsize);
Is it possible to skip some optional parameters without using (rest) parameter?

View 2 RepliesI'm almost certain that this is impossible, but I had to ask. One of my clients wants to know if I can build something that can read the text in Flash, kind of like an HTML reader for the visually impaired. The user would be required to have speakers.
It wouldn't have to read all of the text in the movie, just certain dynamic text fields that are in the SWF.
is there a way, anyway, to save a flash file to reader?
