Im in need to extract xml to create a menu dynamically. I dont know how to extract the xml without knowing the number of internal nodes [code]...
In this we can inset any where a new node so that that node values will become submenu of that particular menu.
I don know how to proceed with xml and extraction of that xml.
At the moment, I came across this problem where I have to work with many swf files.The problem is I'm using addChild() & loader to navigate between each swf. It doesn't seem to be a problem at first, but after numerous times of clicking back and forth, the flash player starts running slow.So I've came to a conclusion that eventhough new swf are added every time I clicked, but the parent swf still remained at the back which is overlapped by the child.
View 1 RepliesSay for example, I have an XML file with 100 "person" nodes, and I want the first 30. Or possibly 51 - 100. Is there any way to do this with e4x syntax to return an XMLList?
View 1 RepliesI just completed myXML.load(), now how do I determine how many "picture" nodes is in it.My XML looks like ...
Code:
<gallery>
<picture></picture>

how can we trace in the output window the number of random elements form xml. For example xml with 40 books in a form:
Code:
<Books>
<Book="1">

I'm trying to parse some simple XML and use it to render some controls, its all going so well. I'm having some trouble with E4X and counting the number of nested nodes within a certain child...code is as follows....
Code:
<questions>
<question>
<label>History of Smoking</label>
<value>3</value>
[Code]....
The Alert keeps coming up as 1. I read in the documentation that this will happen with XML objects but it is working when I create the XMLList and counts the number of questions I have. The code is working except it is only rendering 1 RadioButton, very sad. I suppose I could put the number of options within the <options> tag but I'd rather do it dynamically to avoid errors.
I need to count how many instances there is of a spesific attribute in my xml-list.
Here is my xml-file where I need to count how many children where the attribute "hjorne" is "1":
Code:
......
<element>
<fortoyning hjorne="1" />
<fortoyning hjorne="1" />

But I only need the number 3 as the value of "ant_h1". How do I do that or is it an another way to achieve this?
Im having trouble getting Flash to return the total number <ProjectImage> nodes in the following xml.
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" ?>

<project>[code]...
Im trying to get the Total number of images for each project. But it only returns the first image for each project....Do I need to nest a loop within the project loop to get the images for that project?

i created a movie that gets a certain number of nodes from an xml file and places them randomly on the screen. The only thing is, that it does them at the same time. i want them each to be placed seperatly on the stage, getting faster as the movie progresses.

onClipEvent (load)
{
xcenter=377;
speed=1/10;[code].....
i did the tutorial but something is wrong cuz when i created my own little sliding thingy and i put my mouse so it slides left or right on the right side it cuts off a bit when going infinite.I think its something to do with the positioning of my menu because its not on x=0 its on x=120.8 and i was trying to work out how to fix it but i'm stuck...and when i move the menu to x=0 it works nicely.
I develop a piece of code that brings me to an xml, all Nodes i use this code:
for(var i=0; i< menu_xml.childNodes.length; i++){
corrent_node = menu_xml.childNodes[i].length;corrent_item.action = corrent_node.attributes.action;corrent_item.variables = corrent_node.attributes.variables;corrent_item.name.text = corrent_node.attributes.name;
[code]....
What I need is for each of the nodes highlighted in green to return the child Nodes. Example: when I move the mouse over the menu Indoor lighting, the results should be: Indoorlighting | LED 10W> 3W LED> LED 6W
For those unfamiliar with tree structures, tree structures are usually dynamic lists where every node has a pointer to two other nodes. They are arranged so it makes for faster searching and stuff and are very useful in programming languages that offer direct access to heap memory. Although I don't know if there would be benefits of making tree structures in AS would be of any help but I decided to have a go at it anyway. Since there are no pointers in flash I tried to just replace pointers to nodes with nodes themselves. Such things usually work in java I think because the language just automatically makes pointers for variables.

I am unknown about internal in OOP. Is there any body about internal. How we can use this in pratical world

View 4 RepliesShouldn't flash detect these before running the script and crashing and having to force quit and restart (and flash startup takes a while)? Like just give an error: infinite for loop or something? And this happened to me a bunch when working with for loops within for loops, when I accidentally used the same variable for both loops, so of course it never ended and crashed flash.

Yeah, to some extent it's poor design. But the idea I'm going for is that any Event has the potential to compromise of other Events and this idea kinda loops. How to do this?
I want to access a webservice:getMonitorData() , on creationcomplete and returns an array, in an infinite loop so that the getIndex0.text is updated each time.Flex is not able to handle an infinite loop and gives a timeout error 1502.

I posted on Kirupa Yesterday trying to get help with a project. I've had no response because the help I need is admittedly a pain in the behind. I'm at the end of my thether here so I thought I try posting here also. I'm in the process of trying to make an "infinite scrolling tsunami accordian". Sounds sweet right.
Its supposed to grow as items are moused over along with accordion functionality. also it is supposed to wrap around the items. Ive gotten very close but I have some problems that I've hit a wall on. I've never seen a 3 in one menu like this and it'd be really cool to get it going.
So far I have the tsunami effect and the wrapping around. The only problem is that when you click on an item, instead of the items below it animating to the bottom bound of the menu and then appearing at the top when they go too far theres a big *** pause and then they just jump to wrap around position.
The accordion aspect is there too but I can't figure out how to handle the spacing when an item is expanded. I've attached a zip file containing the project in the hope that somebody might have the time to try and me flesh this out . The class in question is named infiniteTsunamiAccord.
I need to determine if a ray from a point (point and angle or vector) which goes to infinity intersects a line segment (two points), and if so, what direction it crosses (left or right.)I've been searching around on google but haven't had any success implementing the math solutions.I'm trying to do is implement the winding fill rule described here to determine if a path is clockwise or counterclockwise.
View 2 RepliesIm using the infinite menu code from the tut.
The AS in the tut works fine in a stand-alone swf, but if you load it into another swf it wont work properly cuz it uses values like _ymouse<18
Those absolute values are not correct once the swf is loaded into a different sized movie.
What would you guys say is the best way to convert the code so that it would work when loaded?
If thought of changing every value to a target such as _root.MCinMAINmovie.CONTAINERmcFORinfiniteMENU._xm ouse>218 but this seems rather tedious... and it makes it hard to build code for something that needs to be a loaded swf and test it say before you have you main swf built.
Heres the code for the infinite menu
Code:
onClipEvent (load) {
xcenter = _root._width/2;
speed = 1/10;

i've created av "infinite menu" a menu that moves in a direction depending on the position of the mouse. I need a little help to make it stop whenever the mouse aint over the menu.[code]This is just a beta version so the grapics aren't correct.

I've got a infinite scroller (adjusted one of scotty's) and it's not wrapping around i.e there's a gap in the images, the last image kinda blinks at a certain point.I've attached the files, it's probably something quite simple but i cant see it.Here's the script:
Code:
spacing = 0;
containerMC._alpha = 100;

I've got the very old infinite menu posted on Kirupa's site. I haven't done anything but switch it to a vertical menu, but the problem is that I put a button in the menu, the 2nd grey box, with a getURL that just goes to google. Problem is, it won't load the url. I had wanted to put buttons in this menu to get new URLs or do things it flash, but it won't respond.
View 2 RepliesI have a movie clip named "services_mc" it has 7 frames inside of it. When the movie clip gets to frame 7 I want it to go to frame 6 and play (and repeat this infinite).
I thought all I would have to do is put this in frame 7:
gotoAndPlay(6);
but it stops on frame 7.
I have a movieclip with the instance name "Ball".
I want the ball to rotate infinite, what code do i need for this?
I have an MC that is a giant text box that contains 20 different items laid out vertically, like this for example:
A
B
C
D
E
etc
I want to make the list infinitely moveable/draggable on its y position, meaning the user can drag this list up and down but the list never ends.....In other words when the user drags to the last item in the list, the list, the list starts over again. And the same works in the reverse; if the user is dragging up and gets to the first item, the last item pops up after and then goes in reverse. In other words no ending. Think The Price Is Right Wheel or the alram clock on the iPhone or iPod touch.
I am creating a space game in AS3. In order to show movement while keeping your space ship in the center of the screen I would like to move the background (in the opposite direction that the space ship is moving). I would like the background to tile so that if you ever reach the end of one background image it will place another one right next to it seamlessly. I have worked out the code to move the tiles to the right place at the right time, however whenever the tile is repositioned due to the ship reaching the edge, there is a brief period of lag.
View 4 RepliesAlright, this is my problem; i need to find a way to pause and start again from that same position the 'infinite menu' found here on kirupa friend of mine attempted to and gave me some code to fiddle with. I did fiddle with it, but problem was, the code was for Flash MX 2004. So it didnt work on my MX. Here is the existing code i have, but doesn't function (i.e. works fine when control>Test Movie, but doesnt work when actual .swf from folder is opened)
cmdPause.onRelease = function() {
if (_root.Paused == true) {
text = "pause";
