Passing an XMLList to a function to layout text and link that text as a button.[code]...
So it displays fine but every link that is set up in the MouseEvent.CLICK is the last one that gets processed, even though it displays the text for every link correctly.
I have traced it inside and outside the MouseEvent and its all fine, but anytime i click any button it always goes to the one link (the last one processed)
Why isn't the "finco" not recognised/passed to php? I'm not getting the text results!!
Code:
var finco = "motors01";
XMLParser.load("[URL]"+finco, onFinish);
function onFinish($success:Boolean, $results:Object, $xml:XML):Void {
if ($success) { category.text += $results.category[0].value;
namez.text += $results.namez[0].value;
[Code] ......
I have a basic XML file and a parser in as3.
So far, I can get it to parse and trace data from the xml file:
{
xml = new XML(e.target.data);
var tester = xml.item;
[Code].....
My objective is to pass in a bunch of variables from my XML file that I can use anywhere in the flash project.
why is my variable not being passed into my function?
Code:
dealerLocate.urlButton.linkButton.onRelease=function(webAddress){
web=webAddress
trace("this is web "+web);
[Code]....
the webAddress variable is from the exact same timeline making it one level up from this function. it traces out correctly too so I know the variable is there... just not getting passed!
My code seems to produce an error (7 times - same code) "1120: Access of undefined property xmlMarker." This appears on all occasions where the variable 'xmlMarker' is called outside of the function ('showData') where it was first produced.
Code:
stop();
var placesXML:XML =
<places>[code]............
I have a feeling that I shouldn't refer to the variable as a 'MovieClip', but I am unsure what else to pu thee if that is where the fault lies.On the stage there are several buttons relating to the place names attributes (works perfectly), dependent upon which button is pressed, the scene then jumps to a frame (again this works well), however within that frame there will either be 'myMarker_mc', or myMarker_mc2' (this does not work!).
Is there a way to look at each variable passed into the paramaters of a function. For example, taken the given code.
Code:
package {import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.display.Shape;
public class Dot extends MovieClip {
color:uint;
dotSize:uint;
[Code] .....
So in this instance it would loop through color, dotSize, doughnutSize, and doughnutHoleSize and set the paramaters of the class to be the same value.
Example for each loop:
Code:
for (var key:String in object){
trace(key + ": " + object[key]); // object[key] is value
}
So, is this possible?
I've created a simple script in PHP for retrieve the list of files contained in a directory. After that, i need to pass the "lista" variable to ActionScript.
Code:
<?php
$ourDir = "./";
$ourDirList = scandir($ourDir);
[code]....
Oddly if I use a quoted string, like
loadMovie( "http://www.miniclip.com/games/cube-buster/en/cubebuster.swf" , 1);
it works fine
But if I pass in a variable:
var fullpath:String = "http://www.miniclip.com/games/cube-buster/en/cubebuster.swf"
loadMovie( fullpath , 1);
it fails ???
Can't find anyone else's comments on such an issue.

In c++ if I have a function that takes a class I have defined elsewhere as a parameter like so:void moveto(CPoint2D point) { ... }I can invoke it and pass along data to it like this:moveto(CPoint2D(0,0));basically creating the object and invoking it's constructor to be passed to the functionIs there an equivalent to this in AS3?if I have a function like this:function initialize(min:Point, max:Point): void { ... }how do I do something along the lines of :initialize(Point(0,0), Point(10,10))This throws an error im assuming because it thinks I want to cast something to a point and the notation I found earlier to do something similar only seemed to work if using the basic Object class.
View 1 RepliesBasically I want Javascript to pass a variable to Flash according to resolution. I realize my syntax might be off, but something like:
HTML Code:
<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
if (screen.width <= 800) {
expand = "false";
[code]....
Trouble is, I'm not sure what to do from here. I don't know exactly what I need to put in the <param> and <embed> tags, and how Flash would detect if the variable was true or not.

My employer is making a flash card and they want to customize it by passing a variable in the url that links to the card in order to fill in a dynamic text box.So the URL will have ?me=Bob on the end to but Bob's name inside the card.I've done this for them in the past but that was AS2 and I'm trying to use AS3 for this card. oward a code snippet or tutorial on the best way to accomplish this. If we could use an embedded font that would be a bonus.
View 3 RepliesIn a 'for loop' I'd like to add an event listener to a series of buttons. For each button I'd like to define a different function. Is it possible to pass the variable through when the functions are being named? My buttons all have sequentially named instance names.Here's my code:
for (var cBut:int = 1; cBut < 4; cBut++)
{
this["c" + cBut].addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, ["orangeValue" + cBut]);
}
And the resulting error:
TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert []@42f50a89 to Function.
I'm trying to make a game that is turn-based and allows players to first be selected, then click on a grid square to move there. However, I can't get a way for a variable storing whether the player is selected to be passed back to the actual grid class. I want the grid class to have an event listener that when the grid is clicked on, it will move the player there only if the player is selected. But whenever I try to declare a global variable either inside the grid class or even a document class or even access properties of the character class I'm trying to move I get errors.

I'm trying to get a variable that I get from a PHP-script to be a link in a textfield.
Right now I'm using an html tag to make a link to the information I want to display...
This works but I think its not good enough... I want to get a "rollOver" function on the Headline instead of a new line that says click me.
The following code displays in the textfield "content":
News
Headline <--Headline from the database
Teaser <-- Text from the database
Click me <-- Html link that displays the full text in a textfeild called "info"

I'm currently having a problem with loadVariables. Is it possible to load a variable in a text file into flash player via the IP address to the text file?
[Code]...
What I'm trying to do: I have developed Flash projects for a client Company that are run via flash exe's. These projects sit on a network server. This company is now concerned about the security of these projects. If someone should copy the files off the server they should not play. I thought of a solution that has a text file on the server with a variable that is loaded into the player at runtime. The link to this txt should be absolute, so if the folder is copied off the server and taken off site the flash player will no longer be able to find the network folder with the text file. Does this required php, asp etc? Or is there another way to load a variable into flash player from a IP addressed folder?

i recently made a streaming mp3 player in flash. im pleased with my work, but i have one problem. i wanted to add a way to download the song that is currently playing. im using xml as the playlist. right now, i have:
Code:
load_txt.text = (index+1)+". "+Songs[index].title+" - "+Songs[index].artist;
i want to be able to click on the text and download the current song. so:
Code:
load_txt.html = true
load_txt.htmlText = "<a href='Songs[index].url' target='_blank'>(index+1)+'. '+Songs[index].title+' - '+Songs[index].artist</a>"
that doenst work. i was wondering if there was any way to assign a link to a variable in a dynamic textbox.
I want to load variable with multiple parameter link so i will load it in flash Like i have text file like it :
link1=mylink/youlink/ghe&ghik?dfds.blabla.html
link2=mylink/youlink/ghe&ghik?dfds.blabla.html
so how i can load it in flash?
I'm busy with making a XML banner in AS3. It worked so far with the following code:
Code:
Select allvar xmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
var xmlData:XML = new XML();
xmlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, LoadXML);
xmlLoader.load(new URLRequest("private"));
function LoadXML(e:Event):void {
[Code] .....
And it worked! It bypassed all the browsers popup blockers, but it brought in some new problems. Every time the .swf loops. The addeventlistener adds a listener. So if the .swf loops 5 times it will open 5 windows when I will click it. I've tried to use removeeventlistener but with no success so far. In the code without the popup bypass this problem didn't occurred. Probably due the new URLRequest. But I don't know how to use this in the javascript. The other problem is the string of the link. For some reason javascript deletes parts of the link when there is an question mark in it. Example:
If the link is [URL]
The link what will open is: [URL]
PHP Code:
var xmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader() var xmlData:XML =new XML(); xmlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, LoadXML); xmlLoader.load(new URLRequest("private"));
[code].....
Is it possible to add code (...html or php?) to an html link (i.e the link will be featured in an html website) that passes a variable into the flash site it links to (just something simple like '_root.pageChoice = "home3" '? So when the site opens the swf turns to a certain page?This will be necessary as there will be links to the site from different html sites and each will need to see a different version of a certain page.

I am trying to use the tutorial on this site to create a simple form submission to my database via ASP. I couldn't open the sample - I am on MX. But I followed the steps on the webpage.My variables are not being passed. All of the Response.Write statements in my ASP page are coming up blank.So I have the 3 input text fields. I specified each with the same variable name as used in the tutorial (fname, lname, email, message). I also used those same names as the instance names but that didn't help so I've deleted it. So currently there are no instance names, just variable names.And then there is a submit button with the code from the tutorial:
on(press){
getURL("http://mysite.com/processForm.asp",0,"post");
}
Thats all that is in the movie.The ASP page comes up, and the database submission completes, but all the variables and database fields are blank.
