How can I save information created by an array in flash to an XML file and then bring it back info another flash movie?
THe basic idea of what I want to do is have a bunch of checkboxes that when ticked add an item to an array the array can then be saved and I can pick up the information to be used in another part of the site.
i just started learning flash. Anyways, I have a movieclip that is removed when i quit the game from the menu e.g. removeChild(character). When i press "start" on the menu, i would like the character to re-appear. How can i add him again ONLY if he's been deleted?
View 6 RepliesI have a file I am saving out in php that is just a txt file that has an array in it like this:
array (
0 =>
array (
'key' => 0,

Then I am trying to bring it back into flash as an array. I have tried things like "as array" but that doesn't work. converting this "string" from a txt file into an array in flash?
I've developed a website and on the home page there is a series of css/ javascript dropdown hyperlinks. Some of these hyperlinks display a popup menu of further links on mousemover. Immediately below the hyperlinks is a small flash movie.
The problem is, when you mouseover the links and it displays the popup links, the flash movie appears OVER the drop links.
Is there a way I can either send the flash movie to the back using some kind of 'send to back' option like there is in dreamweaver? Surely I don't have to restructure my page to allow for this?
i'm trying to learn some AS. Now i made some simple code which should bring the alpha down step by step, en bring it back up when rolling outside.

View 4 RepliesIs there any way to make a clicked movie clip go to front, and then when released, go back to it's original position?
I've been reading about swapDepths and a few functions that allow to bring to front the MC, but nothing to return them to their original positions between the layers.
Can this be done? Or is it any way to make it look as it?
I have a relatively simple drag and drop function. When the target is hit, the shape stays on it. Otherwise, it goes back to its original place.
ActionScript Code:
square_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, pickUp);
square_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, dropIt);
function pickUp(event:MouseEvent):void {
event.target.startDrag(true);
event.target.parent.addChild(event.target);
[Code] .....
The slide function is supposed to bring the shape back to its origin (passx and passy are the coordinates), through an Enterframe event. It works fine, but it only works once. And if I drop the shape, if I pick it up again, it's impossible to "cancel" this action (which means the shape keeps going back to the origin). I tried removeEventListener but no luck.
I am working on a having external swfs get loaded into the main swf one by one from an array.I can get the first one to load, but it just keeps on playing the first item in the array over and over, instead of loading the next movie. I have a container on my stage, cleverly named "container" and I am using AS2 and loadMovie.
I am guessing my conditon on my if statement is off, but I am not sure how to tell the onEnterFrame to check the currentframe of the loaded swf and not the container itself. I might be way off, but in my mind I feel like this mostly makes sense, but knowing Flash it is probably not nearly enough coding.I might also add this won't be running on the web, so I don't need to worry about preloading swfs since it will be running directly off a PC onto a screen in our office.Here is my code:
Code:
var myClips:Array = ["movie1.swf", "movie2.swf", "movie3.swf", "white_logo.swf"];
var i:Number = 0;
_root.container.onEnterFrame = function() {[code].....

I have a bit of code here that pulls, at random, 50 images from a file and pushes them into an array. I now need to pull, at random, 350 times from the array. I'm using a timer in place of the for loop to grab the images from the array. My code works fine as long as I do not use an array and I loop the images straight from the file. But that's very slow and bad form. I think I can do everything except the .load of the array. I can't seem to make it work. I'm getting errors that say "#1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference" or "1067: Implicit coercion of a value of type Array to an unrelated type flash.net:URLRequest". I think I get the point of these messages, but I cannot seem to figure out how to pull the URLRequests back out of the array.
var imgLoader:Loader;
var imgSource:URLRequest;
var imgArrayer:Array = new Array();[code]......
I have an AS3 project that takes user inputs (basically like a multiple choice test) and saves the these inputs in an array. I need to save the array to a text file so it can be reloaded when the app is reloaded. When the user returns to the application they can pick up where they let off. I really just need to know what options I have for saving an array inside an swf to an xml file or text file in the same directory. Is this even possible.
View 2 RepliesI need to build a flash application In which I load a jpg, make a selection of it (a mask or something like crop tool) and save it back. Loading the picture and making the mask are not a problem. saving the edited picture back.
View 6 RepliesMy application is almost set, load the image, made the crop, save It to a server with a php and all good until here. Now I want to drag the image, make a scale of it and for that I used an Matrix (also done).
My problem is if I scale it less then initial value, my crop is not good. Can you please take a look at my code here, because its drives me crazy and I cant figure it out.
I have a class that acts as a container for relevant data. Let's say it's a Person class.Person has a private myAge:int attribute that gets set when the program runs. In addition, the Person is added to an array and saved. Then all of the people from the array are called and ages are traced. Here is the main code of interest:
// In the Document class.
registerClassAlias("Person", Person);
registerClassAlias("AddressBook", AddressBook);

I have been trying for an hour to clone an array, It seems that nobody has a true reference on how to do it. Two arrays - movieClipArray 1 and movieClipArray2 I want to duplicate movieClipArray1 entirely so that when I addChild(movieClipArray2[0]), it doesn't take away from movieClipArray1 or reference it in any way.

I have a NavigatorContent which is displayed when the user selects an item in a DataGrid. This NavigatorContent contains a form and an accordion displaying the related objects.
When the user presses the Save button in the NavigatorContent the form and the children should be saved to the database by calling the server through BlazeDS:
saveObjectToDB()
{
//Map the form values to the object
object.field1 = object_field1.text;
[Code]....
The object that i pass to the accordion children is public and [Bindable] in the NavigatorContent and in the accordion children and is initially passed from the main DataGrid. May this be a problem relating to this issue?

Is it possible to save a Sprite into an Array?
What i want is to automatically generate Sprites (by using a for loop) then store each one into an array so i'll be able to control them later.
So that i won't need to do this a milion times:
var s:Sprite = new Sprite();
How does 1 save copy of an array in AS3 such that changing an element of the copy does not affect the original array? I have an array of Sprites. I tired using splice(0), concat and even copying the array element by element. But everytime I change a propertly in an element of the copy, the original array gets affected. Why does this happen?

I have a selection menu that I can select multiple items and item names are saved in an array. I also have a deselect button that delete all the items selected. To delete items, I have tried:
var errorSelected:Array = [];
errorSelected.splice(0,errorSelected.length);
I can see them being deleted in trace, but whenever I click on the menu item again, the old list items come back everytime. Do I need something else to completely cleaning it up?
I'm working off the XML photo gallery tute found here: xml_flash_photogallery.htm. My wish is to have the array loop forward and backwards, so by clicking next you will eventually get back to the first value, and if you keep clicking previous you will eventually see the last value in the array.
I found some Scotty code (first line in the nextImage function) that enabled this function with the next button, but I can't figure out how to use it for the previous button.Here's the code:
previous_btn.onRelease = function() {
prevImage();
};[code]....

View 2 RepliesI have a movieclip (jobImage) which I'm loading an image (Image1, a subnode of Job1) into using XML. But I want to be able to click on any one of a series of buttons which will have that image replaced by a new image (eg. Button2 will load Image2, another subnode of Job1, Button3 will load Image3, etc.).So I have the selected button pass a number back to a variable called "_root.imageTarget". If Button2 was pressed, this would happen: _root. imageTarget = "2";This variable is then combined with the word "Image" to form a new variable (newImage)[code]
