I'm trying to nail down the latency problems in AS3 Sound.play() method.After collecting and calculating delays it seems that the latency basically always is a multiplier of approx 46 milliseconds, from 0 up to 185 (0, 46, 92, 139, 185) where 185 is in great majority.What is it with this 46 millisecond value, can that be derived from some internal clock, sample rate or something else?

I need to make a point in a Flash video where the video stops and pressing a button will move to another frame. I understand there is something called a "stop action" but not what this means. Using other online instructions, I end up with the video not stopping and the button not doing anything.
View 1 RepliesNewcomer to Objective C and trying to translate concepts and sytax I know from ecmascript based languages to Objective C.Is it proper to think of the .h header file in ObjectiveC as an Interface in Actionscript?Lets take the following code example in Objective C which calls a method containing 2 arguments
[myTextObject setString: @"Hello World" color: kWhiteColor];
In Actionscript(or javascript) would this be the same as calling 2 accessor methods on 'myTextObject'?
ie
myTextObject.setString("Hello World")
myTextObject.color(kWhiteColor);

View 1 RepliesI have 31 XML files, each containing words (A.xml for all the words beginning with the letter "A" and so on).The XML formatting is as follows:
Code:
<words><word>aaa</word>
<word>aab</word>
</words>
(All the words are in alphabetical order)All in all, I have around 400,000 words neatly organized in 31 XMLs.
1. The CPU randomly picks a letter from A to Z. Based on that letter, it loads the appropriate XML file. From that XML file, it randomly loads one word (and when it first loads it, it skips words ending in "nt" - last two characters).
2. When it is presented with the word, the user needs to type in another word, which must start with the two characters that the previous word ended with. Here, the same rule of "nt" applies. Also, Flash needs to check if the word is valid (must check inside the XMLs for the word.
3. If the word is valid, Flash picks another word that starts with the last two characters of the previous word. (Here, the "nt" rule doesn't apply).
In Flash CS3 when you did Modify/Document it allowed you to type in a document Title and Description which were metadata searchable by internet search engines. According to the book "Brilliant Flash CS4" this is still possible in CS4, but I think they have removed the option, and the book is wrong. add metadata for searching to FLA documents or is this now gone?
View 1 RepliesUsually when I am looking for a specific field name, section of code or variable, I will run a GREP regex search to search through my ASP files, which works great as they are just stored as plain text, however I was wondering if anyone knows of a way to do the same with ".fla" files.
The GREP search looks through all my files in one go and returns a list of files which match the search terms; but wouldn't work on .fla files as the actionscript is not stored as plain text. Possibly this would work if I converted all my ".fla"s to use seperate ".as" files but this would be a lot of work and I'd rather avoid it if possible.
I have this XML:

I have a few different XML documents that get loaded into my app. What I would like to know how to do is search the incoming XML string for a certain attribute (apple or peach) then route its use to the correct location.example:
<boringExample1 apple ="somevalue" ... />
<boringExample2 peach="somevalue" ... />
I am not trying to read the value of the attribute but the name of attribute itself. if my XML string has apple attribute go here else if my XML string has peach attribute go there. I hope that makes sense

View 1 RepliesI have gone thru the Kirupa's tutorial "Using XML in Flash CS3/AS3", and it helped a lot in my project. Now, I have a question in XML searching. If an attribute's value is say title="kirupa tutorial" and a user wanted to search only the word "kirupa", then how can i get this node of xml, which title is "kirupa tutorial"..
@title == "kirupa" only works when the whole word matches the value of "title" attribute, but i want to search a partial word.
I do not know flash at all and i am writing some code in Action Script 3 and am having some trouble.
Basically i have a list that is read from an XML file.
I am busy writing a function to allow a user to enter a search word that will allow him/her to find the closest matching node.
For example, if the nodes are:
1) movies
2) music
3) books
4) plays
typing "m" will search and scroll through 1 and 2 continuosly after every button click but typing "mo" will find only 1.
Using mytree.findNode("label", search_word); //will only find nodes of EXACT name Using mytree.getNextIndexAtLetter(search_word, i); //Will only find nodes with starting letter of search word
Does anyone know of an easy way to use the data from a combo box to either search or reference the XML tags? I have an xml document formatted like this:

I'm working with tons of array generated from a XML. How should I go about creating a search function that will be able to search and retrieve a particular nod from the array. Sth to do with .toLowerCase() and getIndexOf? The search function should be able to search and retrieve any text that contain the letter/letters... not the whole word. Like for example if user enter "gre", it should retrieve results containing "great" and so on.
View 1 RepliesI have got an array of objects, each with properties, plus those objects have sub objects.
Example
Code:
Array[0]
Object.id = 0
Object.name = fish
Object.Array[0]
object.id = 0
object.variety = red tetra

So now it will go through every item in the array and work filterArray on it, but where to proceed from here?
I have a text file 100,000+ words (A scrabble dictionary) sorted alphabetically and I want to be able to search the file to see if it contains a word entered by the user. I should be able to write a binary search algorithm easily enough but I don't know how to access all the items in the list. I've only ever done file I/O with python so I don't know how in actionscript.
View 1 RepliesI have a collection in Flex and I have sorted it by a date field, so the latest elements appear first in my view.
In order to do this I have applied a sort field like so:
var articleSort:Sort = new Sort();
articleSort.fields = [ new SortField('published', false, true), new SortField('id', true, true)];
articles.sort = articleSort;
articles.refresh();
Now I want to be able to use a cursor to findFirst() in that collection based on the id. However in order to do that I have to also pass through the published date in the findFirst() method. This is a real pain as I don't have the published date at that time, (or it's expensive to get).
articleCoursor.findFirst({ published: modelLocator.articles.getArticleById(event.newArticleId).published, id: event.newArticleId });
As you can see I am having to get it from the modelLocator in my application, and basically look up the item...
Ideally I would like to pass a wildcard though for the date in the FindFirst() function, as the id is the only thing I care about when searching. However it seems it Flex I can't do that.
The other option that occurred to me is to resort the collection before searching, but that would cause my view to re-render (as it's bound to the collection) on the collections refresh event. Plus it seems rather silly to have to resort in order to search.

Does anybody have an idea how to search the strings in the array? Let's say the user types "ci" to the search field, searching in "taste" (it would be marked). Now it should return the objects which have the string "ci" in the taste, as: apple - acid - red berry - acid - purple..
loading in xml in as3 (I followed the excellent Kirupa example [URL] and so far so good.
I now want to check if a certain string is present in a particular node and if so run a certain action. For example:
say my xml has a node like so:
<fruit>
<apples>
<item>Customer likes Granny Smith, Winesap and Fuji apples</item>
</apples >
</fruit>
How can I check if a string is present in a node eg
nodeVal = displayData.fruit.apples[i];
if(nodeVal == "Granny Smith"){
//perform certain action here
}
Is there a part of the AS3 API that can be used for dynamically searching the contents of a package and instantiating classes found in the search?

I am searching for a free charting library, either in Java, JS, or Flash, that allows for drill-down type interaction. An example of this sort of behavior can be found in the trends section on mint.com. JFreeChart seems like the generally recommended choice for charting purposes, but from a little browsing of their API there doesn't seem to be any obvious way to detect mouse clicks on a particular slice and change the chart in response.
Any advice on how to handle this sort of behavior using JFreeChart, or if this is not possible any recommendations for other libraries that do support this behavior?

View 1 RepliesI have one global array, and I am pushing other arrays (which contain strings) in it.
[GOLD, SILVER, BRONCE]
[BLUE, RED, GREY, ORANGE, PURPLE]
[JUICE, BEER, WATER, MILK, COFFEE]
[MERC, BMW, SUBARU, MITSUBISHI, TOYOTA]
Lets say I have these 4 arrays, and I push them into global array in that order.
Example 1:
if I have string "MILK", I need to search the global array and what I want is to pull out last array (with cars) because "MILK" is contained in third array (going from the beggining).
Example 2:
if I choose "ORANGE" I want to pull out last 2 arrays (drinks and cars).
Example 3:
if I choose string from the last array ("MERC") nothing is pulled out. And by pull out I mean just get to it.
