I have a set of 5 movieclips that pull in info into dynamic textfields. Each individual movieclip pulls in one xml node. Once the five nodes have been pulled in I need to, upon a click or timer function, reload the same movieclips with the next 5 nodes of xml.

I received word that my code was such a mess that it was confusing people. So I'll try to simply post my xml and then explain what I've been tasked with doing. [code]...
View 0 RepliesA couple of days ago, I started a little flash/xml project to learn how xml and flash works together. I made a XMLfile like so...
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<data><themes>
<theme name="theme1">
<item img="1.jpg" desc="bla" url="link1.html"/>
<item img="2.jpg" desc="blabla" url="link2.html"/>
[Code] .....
I've seen this a couple of times already, loading an XML node one at a time. Example, when a movieclip reaches a certain position then thats the time that the next node of the XML will display until all of the nodes are shown already. And how do I limit the display of the data to 5 data only? then there is a next and back button to navigate the rest.[URL]I have attached my .fla file as well. Just copy the XML code pasted here since I cannot attach an .xml file.
Code: Select all<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<list>
<videoClip id="40">

how i could change this loop to ignore the diagonal nodes?
Flash 8 duplicating movie clips and setting 3 nodes from XML. I am trying to read in an xml with 3 parameters; 2 links and one text field for a caption. What am I doing wrong this time?

I am trying to have "bMC" load into and repeater for however many XML props there are. within "bMC" are two MC's that on click would open window or grab file and One Text field which would load in caption. For some reason the "bMC" isnt even loading at all. Attached is the .Fla
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.
[Code]...
How can I create a for loop so I can use different values of the same node? So I want to count the "<Text>" nodes of the XML and use their different values on different dynamic textfields. Note that I have mutliple Movieclips on the stage with the same amount of textfields and I would like to include them in the loop, so I named them mc1 mc2 etc.

Because,

counter+1 also gives you error.

Is there a way to loop one frame after a certain period of time. I have only one frame in the timeline, and about 10 layers with a single frame containing a container to load external mcs. These frames are all lined up in one row and the mcs play after a certain number of seconds. The last layer containing my last mc that plays fades out to black and then nothing plays again but id like to have it so that all the mcs play again like the first time, like a loop.
View 2 Replies(Flash 5/Flash MX). How do I delay/pause using actionscript? I have tried using a for loop for a time delay like this:
for(i=0;i<1000000;i++){
}
But it does not work?
Flash gives an error like:
Time-consuming actionscript.
Abort running script?
OR the loop simply does not produce a noticeable delay.
How I can introduce a time-delay or a pause using actionscript?
I have a function where i load some images from an XML file. The function builds up a pattern with boxes in lines of 4, and for each Image-tag in the XML file, it creates a new box in that pattern and loads an image into it. The problem is that as the code is written now, all the images are loaded and displayed at once.
I would want the function to load one image at a time, so that image box is displayed, and then the next one, and next one, and so on. Is it possible with my function? What should I change? make that pattern that the boxes form? As you see now, it's a lot of code counting each row of 4 boxes.
this is the function below:
Code:
//Loading work objects from XML
var home:MovieClip = this;
xFirst = 0;

I need to adapt it so that instead of looping all the way back to the beginning, it instead goes to points further into the animation (such as say 10 seconds in) rather than all the way back to the start.[code]Now, I'm thinking that what needs to be changed is the autoRewind = true section, but being a complete novice, I don't even know where to begin. I've seen online sections dealing with a goto command, but my attempts to alter the code haven't worked correctly

I have 10 mc's on my page which I want to load from alpha = 0 to 100, one at a time, but in a random order each time the page is loaded. I have code which uses an array to loop the mc's and I can then load the array into a tween using as2, but I don't know how to randomly create an array, then load these answers into a tween and play them one after another until the loop is complete.

I have a long list of images in the library linked as image1, image2, image3 etc. how do i set up a for loop that will display these images in one go (one on top of the other), i thought this would be trivial but everything ive tried doesnt work, i think i may be confusing run time with compile time with my attempts, when i set up a for loop with the iterator replacing the number (in the image name) i just get errors. Sure i could hard code every one but i find that dissatisfying.
View 2 RepliesI have looked everywhere for an example or tutorial on a delta time game loop in AS3. I found many fixed time step examples but very little helpful information on delta time game loops and how it works. I have seen examples that do the calculations in a timer and also seen examples that do the calculations inside the enter_frame event. All the examples I have seen are also incomplete and only provided me with bits and pieces.

what i'd like to do is create a button, and loop sounds in the "up" state of that button. the only problem is, that if i import the sound to the "up" keyframe and choose loop in the properties it keeps looping until the end of time. what i'd like though is it looping just in the event of the mouse being in the buttons' area. what should i do?
