Let's start with the following XML:
Code:
<swatches>
<swatch>
<swatchName>Plaid</swatchName>
<swatchColors>
<color>black</color>
[Code] .....
I want to return a list of the <color> values without having any duplicates.
Using the XML below as an example, how would I list all the available countries, but without duplicates. Same for the "industry" attribute. I'm using MX 2004, btw.

i have a question about loading an mp3 in flash. the mp3 is loading & playing fine, but if i click a button to go to a new frame, and then click another button to return to the home page, a new copy of the same audio clip is loaded over the one that is already playing, thus causing two audio files to play at the same time. it will keep loading a new copy of the audio clip every single time i return to the home page. how do i go about correcting this? the following is the code i am using:

I'm trying to take an xml object, parse through it, turn the appropriate elements in object properties. Then, finally, pushing each object an array.
Then I need this array accessible outside of the XML.onLoad() function (since it returns nothing, I lose my array).
Here's the code from my timeline:
#include "functions.as"
XML.prototype.ignoreWhite = true;
var top_nav:Array = new Array();
[Code]....
how I can get needed values out of the onLoad function?
I need to load data from a database, so I created the following function and placed it in frame 2 on the main timeline.
Code:
getQuestionSet = function (category:String, subject:String, level:Number, count:Number):Array {
var questionSet:Array = new Array();
var writeV:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
[Code]...
Whenever I try to call the function, it fails to set the value of the questions array. It always appears empty(questions[0]-questions[10] have the value undefined). But, if I check the values from within the function after I have set them, it works, so I know that it is receiving the values. What am I doing wrong?
Code:
questions = getQuestionSet("Art and Music", "Art", 1, 10);
Here is an example of how I have would call the function.
I am getting variaables from a mysql database and then returning them back to the main file. However, the script is going faster than the query. is there a function that can make the file wait until it has finished loading in the variables.

View 2 RepliesI am making a drag and drop game using AS2 in Flash CS5 where mc items are duplicated and enlarged from a menu and can be placed anywhere on the stage to create a custom robot. Each part (arms, head, feet, etc.) is it's own mc with unique instance names. I have the drag and drop part all figured out, and I even have the duplicateMovieClip part working...
HOWEVER... Whenever I move from the current frame that an object was duplicated in, to another frame and then back, the clips dissapear one by one if you try to create a new one. Each list of menu items are in their own frames (heads, torsos, arms, etc.). As the duplicates are made, they remain on stage no matter what frame you go to and can still be dagged around, which is good, but as I said previously, they dissappear when you create a new duplicate. Not all disappear at once, only older created duplicates disappear as you bring in new duplicates.

I have a project made in flex, using php data services to access a sql server database, and I need to convert it to mysql, I have changed all my php services from sqlsrv to mysqli. Something like this:
$this->connection = mysqli_connect(SERVER,USERNAME,PASSWORD,DATABASE); // Start Connection
$ssqlstring = "select * from Users";
$runssql = mysqli_query($this->connection, $ssqlstring);
while($user = mysqli_fetch_array($runssql)) {
$users[$user["ID"]] = $user;
} return $users;
It worked fine on sqlsrv but with mysqli it returns to flex the INT, BIT or DATE values as string the main Datatypes on mysql are INT,VARCHAR,BIT(1),DATETIME,DATE (same as sqlsrv)
and on the flex the return types are mainly as object[]
I'm making an activity that involves measuring the depth of a fictitious river at various points. I have an array containing those depths at the various points and a slider for traversing through the depths and outputting to a textfield.
As the user moves the slider up and down, they can see the depth of the river at that point and plot it onto a graph. What I would like to do is be able to figure out the depths inbetween the explicitly defined values.
here is the code, it's pretty simple:
[Code].....
How would I go about figuring out the values inbetween?
In C you can pass a reference to a data item as a parameter to a function. then within the function you can write to that address thus passing back a value to the caller. Can you do anything similar in AS3?
I know you can use the return statement but I want to return a status by that mechanism plus a value in a parameter.
I am developing in Flash Builder 4.5 using as3.
I have created a class to connect, write and read to a TCP Socket using 'import flash.net.Socket;'
Within this class is an event listener which reads the incomming data:
Code:
socket.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.SOCKET_DATA, readSocketData);
private function readSocketData(progressEvent:ProgressEvent):void {var response:String = socket.readUTFBytes(socket.bytesAvailable);
trace response;}
My problem is how to output this data back to my main application. Ultimately I want to process the data and output it in a text box.
I have a color picker which I set usingMenu.ColorPicker.selectedColor = 0x339900;It displays the correct color when ran. If trytrace(Menu.ColorPicker.selectedColor);it traces 0. Why is this? Even stranger is later I set some xml parameters using
xml.parameter[0] = Menu.ColorPicker.selectedColor; xml.parameter[0].@name = "color1"; xml.parameter[1] = Menu.ColorPicker2.selectedColor;
xml.parameter[1].@name = "color2";

I am trying to connect to an FMS application without flash (no SWF). To the best of my knowledge,the only way to accomplish this is thru the admin APIs, is that correct? If so, how do I return meaningful values from the admin API? I can call functions and stuff using the broadcastMsg API call but I can't seem to get back any values. All that is returned is a useless "Success" type message. I have tried using shared objects and the getSharedObjects API call, but the call doesn't return any info on the contents of the shared objects, just their names and some info on their persistance.
Is there another way of accomplishing my goal outside of the Admin API? If not how do I return meaningful variables from the Admin API? Is there a way to hack or extend the admin API?

I am looking for RGB, for example, 0.5 0.5 0.5, for a gray color.Is there a chance the RGB parameters are hidden somewhere or is there a conversion function at least?
(1) read in a *.png image(2) when the user mouses over the movieclip that contains the image, an RGB value (in 0xFFFFFF format) of the pixel which the mouse is currently hovering over is displayed.Here is what I am doing to try and make it happen:(1) Using the loader class (imageLoader) to load a bitmap (*.png -- no alpha) into a movieclip.(2) Also taking the "imageLoader.conent" and placing it into a "grainImage:Bitmap" object.(3) Using a timer event to fire off data describing the where the mouse is at all times.function readPixelColor(te:TimerEvent):void { trace(grainImage.bitmapData.getPixel(mouseX, mouseY).toString(16));};How can one insert code in these Forums? I used to be able to do that... Oh well, the problem that is happening is that the value that is being returned by this function is off by 010101 (I believe, not certain how hexidecimal works).
Anyway, if the color is really "336699" (as confirmed in Photoshop) my function returns "326598". Which is "336699" minus "010101"why this may be doing this? Are my values "shifted" in some way since there is no alpha? Maybe there is some sillyness behind loading the image into a _mc and also placing the loader content into a bitmap object -- they are interfering with each other in some way?
I have them appearing fine in the component definition panel, but the values entered here seem to be overridden by the component inspector and the var doesn't appear here unless I enter it manually and then there's no way to make it a list.In my class I have:

Up until CS4 the Colour effects dialog box was incredibly powerful. These 8 little fields were never the most intuitive, and it took a lot of fiddling before I realised their true power: the first column basically controls the contrast of an asset - and the 2nd column controls the brightness.Using these experimentally, you can acheive inverted colours, high contrast effects and colourising effect far superior to tints(see image).Well, you USED to be able to - when you could put high numbers in those fields.But the CS4 version of these controls caps any entered values to 100% and 255 respectively.It seems that it is only an effect of the interface - as I can cut and paste clips with the old settings from CS3 into CS4 and they display correctly.Is this an oversight on Adobe's part, or is there another explanation for the loss of a great design feature?

I'm trying to make an array with different color values. My problem is that when I do...
teamColor[i] = currentColor...
All color values in my array turn into the currentColor. (I would upload more code, but that would be a massive mess, considering that I have code everywhere with references from movie clips that are as far as 3 layers deep. However, this would be irrelevant anyways (probably), because I tested this with color values on my main timeline, without any references to or from anything deeply nested). I would like to add that I tried adding strings in there and that the strings remained their original, intended, value, while the color exhibited the same phenomenon.
I changed my code by creating separate variables for each color instead of putting the variables into an array (not what I really wanted to do, but it works). My code looks like this:
if (teamColor != 0) {
this["team"+teamColor+"Color"] = new ColorTransform(0,0,0,1,currentColor.redOffset,currentColor.greenOffset,currentColor.blueOffset,)
teamColor = 0
namebox.addboxes()//function in a movieclip
}
TeamColor is now an int that is changed based on which box a user clicks from a movie clip that has a dynamically generated name, based off of what the variable value in a loop was when it was created.
(E.G: 'tempboxname[ttns].name = i;')
teamColor is then equal to that name when the user clicks it. I have another movieclip with colors in it and the above function is called to check if any teamColor change has occurred, and if it has, act accordingly. (The idea of having teamColor equal to 0 is so that if the user clicks twice, nothing changes. I other conditionals for other colors, all within the same function). That is how I fixed me code. It's not what I wanted, because it's not an array (meaning a seemingly infinite number of teamColors, and thus, teams) but it'll do for me.
I am having a color array with values like 0x2EFE2E, 0xFFFF00, etc. but when i am trying to trace the values in the array, it prints something else like 95455. I think these are some converted values. But i tried using parseInt(val, 16), uint(val). None of these works. Basically, i just want to take values from this array and assign it to particleColor (a uint) and use like this:

I have an MC with the instance name "building". I want to be able to change the RGB color values of this MC with three buttons for example. for example, one button would change the RGB values to 60 89 159 another button would change the RGB values to 50 251 59 another button would change the RGB values to 22 21 59 And, when the button is clicked, the new RGB color value should fade in without the old values fading out.
