I am experiencing problems when trying to traverse XMl returned from the youtube data api.I can trace the XML but cannot access any of the nodes, not sure where I'm going wrong, I have tried various methods including parsing JSON format from youtube but to no avail. I thought it maybe the namespaces so I replaced these using a script to replace them as attributes. A snippet of returned XML is below:

Am I right in thinking we can't get a user to upload a video to YouTube via a flash form (AS3)? I have been advised I might have to use a PHP Proxy but can't how to integrate the YouTube Data API (PHP) with AS3, plus my PHP knowledge is basic.What I really need is for the user to select a local video, upload it, and then select a good thumbnail picture as can be done these days at [url]..... Is this possible through Flash?
View 0 Replieshow to embed a YouTube video file in particular place of my Flash project, should I do this in action panel or in final html file. Here is exactly what I'd like to do: On this website www.aye-aye-media.com under 'Film' panel I have some movie samples, and after clicking buttons on right side I'd like to play embedded YouTube clips instead of flv.samples uploaded to my ftp. as it takes too long for customers to download them
View 2 RepliesI have been trying to extract information from this file on YouTube using AS3. I have managed to access ytID (YouTube video ID) along with the ytName (YouTube video name) from a specific channel (called through the loader). I am stumped on how to get the thumbnail URL. I have managed to find out that through YouTube, its tag is media:thumbnail, however, Flash gives me an error for trying to use a semicolon.

I have spent multiple hours on it to find no result. Here is the situation. MY xml structure looks like this:

But I am not able to refer to the corresponding parent <R> so that I can traverse it to retrieve corresponding <SEZ N="name" V="dummy name"/>

View 1 RepliesFirst of all, this is not specifically for homework. It's a project I've been working on for the past few months and I've kinda hit a road block. The short version: I've got a Flash file (which is a DJ program) whose main functionality is to play mp3 files, load the files a user uploads into a web page I made and let the user have the ability to choose which song they would like.
I literally have this almost completed except for this final piece: playing what the user uploads. More details of how I got here: I've got a PHP page that creates (or updates if you wish to call it that) an XML file. I'm not sure which way I should approach it (most tutorials online show AS2 but I've already made my project in AS3 and I've seen it's easier...yet I'm not able to figure this out).

I have 2 classes Main.as and RedPawn.as (yes, in the same folder).I am wanting to check if a child exists on a movie clip in Main.as through RedPawn.as.This is within a for loop since I am checking 24 possible values for _dest until I find a match.This simplified code example would be in the RedPawn class:
Code:
_dest = 'example_mc'; // example_mc is pulled from an array
if ( MovieClip(root)._dest.numChildren < 2 ) { // do stuff; }

I'm currently working on a tower defense game and am in kind of an odd situation. I've programmed it in such a way that a large class hierarchy is in place. It's like this StartScreen class ---> BaseLevel class ---> GUI class ---> TowerPlacer class(towers are stored in an array in this class) ----> etc.My problem is that i need to access an array in BaseLevel from my GUI class, is there any fancy trick for doing this? or have i screwed myself over.
View 2 RepliesI have stored an object template in a variable and then I'm adding the video links via jQuery. I'm doing this because eventually the links will be added into the object template via ajax. However, the video does not show up. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. The sample code is in action here: [URL]

google.load("jquery", "1.7.1");
google.setOnLoadCallback(function() {

View 5 RepliesI wanted to know if this is possible. On my site I want to play youtube videos from my account from youtube. Basically, there will be an empty text box. Users will type in some text. Click on a button to search and play a random video based off tags associated with a video from my youtube account with the words from the text box? And if they did the same search it wouldn't play the same video again?
View 0 RepliesI've been searching around forever trying to find a way to make traversing nested display lists more of a 1-line possibility.In AS2 you could grab a clip just by _container.clip1.nestedclip2.nestedclip3 and it was blatently simple.In AS3, is there any way to do that?So far my only methods are keeping a class level reference to important parts of the UI or doing a painful series of getChildByName chains until I drill down to it:[code]The casting makes the getChildByName method possible.

View 9 RepliesI'm creating a small app to run from CD-Rom/local installation that will use multiple shared objects for data storage. To ensure proper saving without surprising the user with a permissions dialog unexpectedly, I'd like to request unlimited data storage on first time app launch - Joey Lott shows how to do this in the Actionscript Cookbook... request=mySO.flush(1024 * 500);
My question is,Can I perform this permissions request with the user a single time with a generic app SO in global fashion, so that the permissions would be set for any SOs created during the use of the product (all written to same SO directory),or do I have to request
permissions for each and every SO created? Since the latter would be unacceptable from a UE standpoint, that means stuffing all app data into a single SO which doesn't seem so great from a data config perspective...

View 1 RepliesI'm using a loader for people to use to upload their own images for a background, and I want it to remember the image the next time they come to the page, so is there any way to save the loader data in a shared object? I haven't tried just using something like
Code:
sharedObject.data.dataName=loader
because I assume it doesn't work that way.
The Context of the Problem.I'm working on a rotator banner in flash. I use an external xml file to pass the banners info (like info-text, link, image-path, priority, etc). Everything is going well so far. I'm loading the xml something like this:
var bannersXML:XML = new XML();
bannersXML.ignoreWhite = true;
bannersXML.load("myBanners.xml");
The Problem itself.Now I need to construct this xml on-the-fly in php and somehow pass it to my flash object. So instead of read the external file I want my flash script receive an xml parameter it can work with.
I use curl for grabbing data from sites, but now I need to grab content from Flash objects. I haven't had any experience in flash, so could you tell me, is it possible in general? If yes, what will I need to learn in order to perform this action?

I have an AS file that declares and sets data for a bunch of objects. Specifically, they are locations for a business, as well as phone numbers, addresses, etc, associated with each location. Ultimately, they will appear as pins on a map, and clicking a pin will reveal information like phone number, etc.I need to come up with a way for a separate SWF file to draw in the data from the AS file so it can be implemented on the map. The trouble is that the AS file will be frequently updated, and it will not always contain the same number of objects. me, the swf needs to reference the AS file, and generate a pin on the map for each object within the AS file.I've already set up my SWF to "#include" the AS file, and I can successfully use the data within using dot notation, but I don't know how to set it up to automatically go through the AS file and process each object, especially since the total number of objects is subject to change

Finally remembered my password for this wonderful forum to bother you with yet another (stupid) question...my 2nd already, lets hope it works...AS2 XMLObject1 loads 15 pics.XMLDriven menu button (XMLObject2) triggers loading of new XML (10 pics) in XMLObject1.Works fine but last 5 pics stay in XML Object. In other words: I need to unload all the previous XML data on an onRelease event. Tried new XMLObject, delete (Old) XMLObject (Did not work...). There is no unload XML Method so what to use?

I have a flash video loading in a modal window. It works in others browsers but not Firefox. Firefox opens the modal window to the correct width of the object, but with no height. I have come to learn that Firefox does not recognize <param> and instead uses the data attribute. However, when I remove this attribute, the modal opens with correct height. Here is the code the modal window loads:
<object width="720" height="520" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="proxymovie.SWF?file=proxymovie.MP4">
<param name="movie" value="proxymovie.SWF?file=proxymovie.MP4" />
