I'm trying to get the a List component to display an array. This is what I have:
Listname.dataprovider = new DataProvider(arrayName);
This works well at populating the labels of the list. But once I click the item on the list. I get a null error because the data isn't there.
Is it possible for the array to fill in the data and the labels?
what the differences or similarities are between these and if there is some actionscript tool to convert back and forth between these types.
the data i'm getting is coming in from mysql in the form of name,job
joe, doctor
moe, lawyer
etc...
I need to convert this to dataProvider and then also to Json for some graphing program that can read json or xml.
How would I turn something like this...

I'm using the xml connector to retrieve the results then bound the items array to the dataprovider No problem to access the items but my question is how to access to var1 and var2 in actionscript. Could i bound it to a var?
Is it possible to turn an array into a string? I'm stuck on project.
For example:
contents is an array containing: ("~a","~b","~c")
var my_str:String = var contents:Array;
contents = my_str.split("~");
trace(contents);
I'm trying to delete the ~ that's been inserted, (in another part of my code earlier)
The result should be: (a,b,c)
Im just starting out on really learning java scripting and flash interaction... got this little test function to work great... how to turn it in to an array... I've tried and tried and have gotten no were... so i was think may-be some one could show me what a few of the ways to do it so i can see a good working model for me to go off of.... here is the actionscript (don't poke fun i'm still learning...)

I have an array collection as the dataprovider to a datagrid. When I change a value in the arraycollection, a particular row gets updated in the datagrid. I want to get the index of that particular row. How do I get it?
View 1 RepliesI am using a Repeater in an Accordian which does not appear to see a single element in userArray. If I add another entry to userArray then the Repeater works fine.
private function currUsersServiceHandler(event:ResultEvent):void{
if (event.result.currentUsers != null)
{
if (event.result.currentUsers.user is ArrayCollection) // if more than one elements are present
{
[code]....
Edit:There is another thing I have just noticed i.e. that the accordian does show a single tab (when Array has a single element) but it's not labeled with the first name which I am setting. If I enter another user, two tabs appear and both are labeled with names I am setting. The first tab appears labeled too then.
I'm wondering if theres a way I can turn a variable of strings (separated by commas) into an array?I'm using the loadVars object to import variables from a text file that I'd like to import to flash as an array.For example if the variable I import from the text file looks like this:&myVar=charlie,dog,cat,test&I'd like to get it into an array in Flash like thismyArray = new Array["charlie","dog","cat","test"];
View 14 RepliesI'll start off by saying I'm a newbie, just putting that out there. How do you make a turn by turn multiplayer flash game? I don't know if an engine is made in AS3, PHP, Javascript, or whatever,I made my game already, it's just that it isn'tmultiplayer yet. Basically, there are lines, and each player crosses out a number of lines, and the last player to cross out a line is the loser. I want it where one user crosses out some lines, then presses End Turn, then the other does their turn and then presses End Turn to allow the other player to move his cursor. But how can I get both players to see the same frame and only have one player have the ability to move the cursor during a turn? Is there some easily adaptable multiplayer engine for flash for newbies out there

I have a datagrid with dataProvider property set in MXML as:
dataProvider="{pagedResult.lastResult}"
How do I set the dataprovider in actionscript? I have:
protected function getResult (event:FlexEvent):void {
pagedResult.token = mydata.paged();
adg1.dataProvider = pagedResult.lastResult;
}
Normally in Flex you use a collection like ArrayCollection as the dataprovider for components. I often have data stored as a dictionary whose values I would like to use as a dataprovider.

View 0 RepliesI'm having some trouble when using objects in an array for my dataprovider.
Here's the code I'm using...
Code:
for(var i:int=0;i<getLength(obj.responseData.results);i++) {
dpData[i] = new Array();
dpData[i].push({Title: obj.responseData.results[i].titleNoFormatting});
[Code]...
The reason I'm doing it this way is so that I get to set the name of the columns. If I let the object define these, I get things like streetAddress instead of Address, which isn't huge, but still not what I'm after.
When I do it this way though, I just get 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 for the column headers.
So, needless to say, I'm quite confused about what I'm supposed to do to get these objects to show up as strings in the datagrid.
I've tried String(), but that still just gives me the object like before.

I am creating a Flash form which will include a drop-down selection menu from which a user may choose their state. I originally accomplished this by adding a ComboBox to the stage and then populated the ComboBox's DataProvider object with an XML listing of all the state names and the corresponding values. Everything works as expected.I have decided, however, that it would make the most sense to create an external class to accomplish the same thing. I have attempted to create such a class using the following code:
package {
import fl.data.DataProvider;
import fl.controls.ComboBox;[code]....
I am new to creating external class files so I am not sure why the new object is not populated with any data.
I am playing with the dataGrid component in flash..here is t he code I am using to populate 2 lines of code:

There are hundreds of posts on this subject, none with solution. [URL].. has an answer which is meaningless. The mxml page I am developing already has a ComboBox dragged onto it, this does not magically put the DataProvider in a library or similar as implied.
I've used the sortOn function (dp.sortOn("cost");) to sort my dataprovider values based on cost. It works great until I get values over 100. Then it thinks that 250 < 50.
