ActionScript 3.0 :: Slideshow - 3 Bits Of Information To Be Display In The Flash And A Start Screen?
Nov 17, 2009
Ok, So I've decided to show some information on my site, but instead of using a static table, I've decided i wanted to use flash.Basically, want I want to do is have 3 bits of information to be displayed in the flash and a start screen.When the flash loads, it will show the starter Screen. From there the user will select either one of the three buttons,which will direct them to one of the 3 bits of information. I was thinking each bit of information on a different frame.How would I link the Buttons to the information?

I have an SQL database setup which contains Herbal Information such as CommonName, LatinName, MedicalUse etc, and need to display the information in a Flash DataGrid Component. I also have the corresponding PHP script to connect, retrieve, add and delete items from the database. Although I am familiar with Flash in a design sense I have limited experience using Action Scripts and am unable to complete the connection myself.

I want to create a slideshow banner that will showcase our products. The slideshow will contain the image of the product, the name, the price, the item code and the link when someone clicks on it. Each week we update the best sellers and it can be from 5 to 15 different products. Similar to what we have now in our website www.deiequipment.com which now is static, we want to animate it and rotate the products like a slideshow.The problem we are encountering is that we have to manually update the slideshow content.
We would like to know if there is a way through scripting or catalyst to connect to a database and simply update all these fields automatically. So for example if the database has 5 items, automatically will pre-fill each field listed above and the slideshow will have 5 products.
If we update the database now with 10 products, to update automatically. That way we can create 1 slide show, the time it takes to rotate to the next product, and add simple button controls to the slide show for next and back that will simply go through the loaded items.I tried to do a research on how to do it online but some takes me to scripting, others to catalyst dabases, but none are specific to what I need.As a note, the image will just be an image holder that will be updated with the image field in the database that points to the URL location of the image.

I've made a slideshow with externally loading text and images. How can I make it so after the title screen flashes off, the first thing is the first photo/caption without having to click on the next button?

Does anybody know a way for a swf file to communicate with the site its placed in. What I mean is I have a flash file with a start up screen in it, which has a tick box saying "Don't show this screen again" which skips to the sites content when tick, the same as what some adobe applications have when first started up. I think this might be able to be done using sharedObjects? But what I can't do is re-activate the start up screen from outside of the flash file. Is sharedObjects the way to go?

I was wondering if Flash was able to handle PNG files with 16 bits per channel. I seem to remember (quite clearly actually) from some official blog post on Pixel Bender, that since Flash only handles 8 bits per channel and Pixel Bender works at 24, a conversion occurs when data is passed from Flash to PB and vice versa. (this thread is totally unrelated with Pixel Bender though) So if I'm correct, Flash uses 8 bits per channel even if you try to load a 16 bits per channel PNG. Do you guys have any experience whether this is a fact or not?econdly, assuming this is a fact...could I still load a 16 bits per channel into Flash, not to display it but to convert the data to a 8 bits per channel PNG that I would save as a file. For instance the 16 BpC PNG could be loaded in a ByteArray and I'd work from here, however I have to know whether the PNG would still be 16 BpC once it reach the ByteArray.

We have this legacy code of a flash video player that functions well enough but still has some loose ends I need to tighten up. It can do the basic "switch to full screen and back to normal size" stunts, however with one exception.
On the first fresh load of the app, if I switch to full screen mode first, and then click to play the movie, the player would be in full screen, yet the movie itself would remain in it's original size.
//trigger
if (stage.displayState == StageDisplayState.NORMAL) {
stage.addEventListener('fullScreen', procFullScreen);
stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE;
[Code]....
The VideoDisplay object even returns the expected width/height, but the movie just plays in it's original size. If I switch screen sizes during movie playback, then the movie size will shrink or stretch as it should.

I want a combo box to display a description of the information in the combo box. The name property is a good way to do this in my opinion "comboBox.name = This is what I named this Box". I have a text field ("textDescription") set to display the name of the comboBox on MOUSE_OVER, but only on the edges does the actual name of the comboBox appear. When in the middle, the textDescription displays "instance #" where # is an actual number. Is there some kind of container placed over the combo box or something??

I'm building a product page, here's the setup:
[URL]
On the index.swf is the main navigation that'll open swf's for the different categories. Those products.swf fills with products via php. This is the working code for products.swf:
ActionScript Code:
var t = "";
var cat:String = "products";
[code].....
Now my main issue is, I can't get the product_info.swf right. The problem is I don't know how you can define the products within the products.swf with a name, so you can tell which product you should display in the product_info.swf

I'm wanting the top 10 scores to display for a game I'm working on. I'm having trouble getting the information to display in a dynamic text box. I've been working on this for 2 days looking at examples and haven't had any luck. I don't know how to get more than one result to show in a dynamic text fields variable. Right now I am getting it to display the very last name in my database. It seems like I'm close, but there needs to be some minor adjustments or something. Could someone give me a suggestion on how to fix this?
Here is my php:
Code:
<?php
//connect to database
$link = mysql_connect(localhost, username, password)
or die("<b>error</b>: failed to connect to database");

I have 3 arrays, each containing a random number of elements.
Lets say: array1(), array2(), array3()
I want to display information from 6 array elements on my stage, ideally 2 elements from each array. However, as the arrays may contain more or less than 2 elements, if an array has < 2, I'd like to make up for it if the other arrays have > 2 by showing extra from those arrays instead. As evenly as possible. I'd like to know at the end how many elements of each array to add to the stage (Maximum of 6 altogether).i.e.If we say array1.length() is 3, array2.length() is 1, and array3.length() is 1 - then I'd like it to display 3 from array1, and 1 from the other two arrays.If we say array1.length() is 0, array2.length() is 4, and array3.length() is 5 - then I'd like it to display 3 from each of array2, and array3.So as to get 6 wherever possible, and spread them out evenly wherever possible.

I have recently followed a tutorial on how to create a simple loading screen, on completion of this i realised it was teaching me how to create a loading screen for a flash movie. How I would change my Action script so at the end of the movie it would display my website?
My current action script is as follows..
First frame:
Code:
bytes_loaded = Math.round(this.getBytesLoaded());
bytes_total = Math.round(this.getBytesTotal());
getPercent = bytes_loaded/bytes_total;
this.loadBar._width = getPercent*100;
this.loadText = Math.round(getPercent*100)+"%";
if (bytes_loaded == bytes_total) {
this.gotoAndPlay(3);
}
Second frame:
Code:
this.gotoAndPlay(1);

I found a tutorial online to do a Image Slideshow. [URL]. But, I can not get anything to work. I am new to this and unfortunately do not have time to do any formal training right now. Probably when this project is done. When I "test movie" I just get a white screen w/ nothing on it. I should be getting a box 500x500 w/ a box that is 400x400 for my frame. I just finished step 3, and I do not get my frame box like a should.
Here is what my .xml document says:
<slideshow width="400" height="400" speed="5">
<image url="images/1.jpg" />
<image url="images/2.jpg" />
<image url="images/3.jpg" /> .....
And here is the action script.
var myShowXML = new XML();
myShowXML.ingoreWhite = true;
myShowXML.load("slideshow.xml");
myShowXML.onLoad = function() {

I have a slideshow that is set up to run on an LCD screen. The problem is the slideshow turns to a white screen when left running overnight. I would like the slideshow to continuously play without having to do a browser refresh each day. I am thinking there is some build up of memory that is causing the problem. I have a loop to continually check my xml file to see if anything has been updated.
Code:
import fl.transitions.Tween;
import fl.transitions.TweenEvent;
