I need to know some way to edit a local xml file from within flash. I know php is involved, but I don't know anything further than that. I've been searching all day, and I can't find even a single tutorial. Can anyone link me to a tutorial, resource file, or code that I can use?

This question specifically deals with AS3 and list components and styling a selected item, if that's even possible. I've got an XML/Flash Video player that lists the videos with a thumbnail and description in a list component. I got the source files from an Adobe tutorial:[URL]...I'm able to style everything the way I want it. The problem comes when I try to attribute a specific text style to a selected item. I understand how the information is being taken from the XML and looped into the list component. What I don't get is how you reference a particular item in the list and whether or not you can attribute a different style to that item when the event listener fires.

View 1 RepliesI am working on an older Flash project created in CS3 ActionScript 2.0 How can I make the pointer cursor change to the hand when hover over a list item?_root.slidePanel.myList'myList' is the list. I have traced out the contents of the List MC and it has a child MC called 'content_mc'.

View 1 RepliesWhy I have to press 2 times the arrow key down to get a navigation through the list items in a list component of Flash?

I'm building a top view 2D map, that it's objects are stored on the server.The kind of objects are 10 and might be a photo, label, button, lists, mix of them or labels with tooltips.The component must request the "areas" that are missing on screen.An area is 1000x1000 px and is cached in flex.To move in the map, will be like in google maps (drag-and-drop).I should be able to have another list and move objects from one to another using drag-an-drop on objects. Ex.: I grab an objects from a list and I move it on this map, I release the mouse button and the item is placed there.Now the problem is: I build a custom component for this trying to emulate the item renderer for performance and recyclage, implement drag-and-drop on objects and request the areas that are missing?
or
I extend the List component from spark and I add some features as multiple kind of itemrenderers and use recycle on them. Of course it must be able to request the missing areas on the screen and cache it's data.Maybe create a custom layout is needed too.What I need is something that must be really fluid, so the lighter this component is, the better.
UPDATE: *There will be not any object over another.
*I will not use hitTest on bitmaps because all bitmaps are wrapped in another component,as they,for now are itemrenderers.
Anyway I already begin to do this using a class that extends the SkinnableDataContainer and a custom layout. As the layout is not like a grid, is sparse, random items at diferent points(x, y).How to get the localX and localY, relative to item renderer and not to the Spark List, from a DragEvent in Flex 4?
I have two Lists (components) on stage. The first one (mainList populates from an XML called topics.xml
[Code]...
on event handler change, I want to load the second list on the other list component, called subList..It's not loading.. I believe it's because when it reads the data from my topics list, it reads topic1.xml instead of "topic1.xml" ( reads without the quotes). If I unquote line v.list.load("subtopic.xml"), it works, but I need it to be loaded from the XML..

I currently have a list that I'm using to hold text so when an item in the list is selected the text is displayed in a text box along side it. I want to have the first item in the list to be pre-selected so the text for that item is already in the textbox when it is loaded.

I was wandering if you could have a button or a movie clip in a component list If I was bringing in data from XML I would use addItem & Label: and then labelFunction to add a string ect, but how can i add a button to each label/item. I have googled this but have not found anything I am guessing that maybe you cant if so what other options are open to me. The list contains tracks and each one must have a button to download and also another to add to a playlist. The music plays when the item in the row is clicked.
View 0 RepliesInstead of typing out aList.addItem({label:, data:}) for each item, how can I use a loop to populate each item in a List component? I figure I will store the info that goes into the label: and data: areas in an external XML file.
Here is the coding I have now and it works great:
aList.addItem({label:"Blue", data:0x0000CC});
aList.addItem({label:"Green", data:0x00CC00});
aList.addItem({label:"Yellow", data:0xFFFF00});
