I am working on a project for college and was wondering does anyone know how to get the autocomplete working in AS3.From what I have read I can only see how to do it wth AS2!I need the autocomplete to pull in suggestions from an XML file!

View 2 Repliesis there a simple way to just pull back a true or false value from an associated javascript file to a flash file? here is what i have:
Code:
var bincheck:Boolean = fscommand("eval", "parent.check_bins(\'"+img+"\')");
if (!bincheck){return false;}
return true;
check_bins(img) is a function in my javascript file that simply iterates through an array, returning false if "img" is found. im simply trying to get the true or false value back into flash, but its not proving that simple. i added a couple alerts so that i could see what the "bincheck" value was, and i keep getting an 'undefined' value for "bincheck" in flash.
I need to fairly quickly (I hope) replace a swf/JS/html/everything under the sun application with a simple one piece swf.Can someone help me with a simple scroll for dynamic text. I am thinking about using a slider but how can I do something like this? How can I get the slider to scroll the text?

EDIT: New problem, post #5 Say I have a flash website made, and to allow for minor information changes to be easily made by someone without flash, they can simply open, edit, and reupload to the webserver a text file that contains that page's info.So, how can I have flash pull text from a file, and always do that every time it's ran (ie, not have to republish a new swf)?

View 2 Repliesim able to pull in an xml file, and push all the data in to arrays. Im pulling out this data and performing calculations on it. Now, iv created a varialble called _global.newLocation = _global.percentage*100;
which equals my percentage change, multiplyed by 100. It works because i have used trace and you can see it.
I would like to then take all these newLocations and put these in to an array so i can refer to them by their index but i just cant seem to get it to work?
I am trying to dynamically pull up the city and state all within the swf file.
So if a user goes to my site from San Diego, CA. There would be a dynamic box that says San Diego, CA.
I am trying to make a banner like item for a website I am working on, I have 1 external text file 4 external swf's and 1 external .jpg.that I am trying to get to do this:on page load display img1.jpg for 60 seconds and then randomly select a number and then display the file that is associated with that number, for 60 seconds, and do it again, and again until all of the text and swf files have been displayed and then start over from the beginning,Now I can get it to select a random number and then pull up a file that is associated with that number with this code.I have shortened the time to see it work but still no avail.Example random code:
Code:
Movienum = Math.floor(math.random()*5);
if(Movienum == 0) loadVariableNum ("loaded_Text.txt", 0)
if(Movienum == 1) loadVariableNum ("1.swf", 0)[code]...
Now with the SetInterval I tried this and wound up with squat.I am starting to get Desperate.New Example code:
Code:
Movienum = Math.floor(math.random()*5);
function countDown() {
if (Movienum == 0) {[code].....
I'm trying to pull in dynamic text from a txt file and display in a web page. The text works great when I view the .swf, but when I place the .swf in a web page the text no longer appears. I'm using loadVariables("text.txt", ""); in my ActionScript and text.txt is located in the same directory. I have embedded the fonts and I'm using Flash CS5 and I have selected Classic Text/Dynamic Text.

build an image gallery on a site i'm building.The way I have built the site use sactionscript to pull the each different page through as an individual swf file. see: http:[url]....The page im putting the image gallery on is 'Virtual Tour'.When I test this specific page in flash it works fine, however when I view the master flash file and click 'Virtual Tour' then it doesnt pull the images through. Im not sure why this is, as if you view the swf directly then you can see the images do work: http:[url]....
View 4 RepliesI am being very hard headed and determined that I am going to give Textmate a solid try for my actionscript and flex projects. Work on the bundle has been a little lacking but what has been developed so far is pretty great. I have run into some slight issues but able to figure them out and get things set up pretty well and I have already dug in and started customizing the snippets to suit my needs.
One thing that I have not been able to fix, figure out or find a straight answer for is regarding working with MXML files. AutoComplete for Actionscript files seems to work great but I don't seem to get the same result when I am editing Actionscript inside the script block in a MXML file.
I am using the AutoComplete component in my Flex website. Everything is fine, but there is one issue. If I type something in the text area, and the items that are searched are alot, i want to increase the height of the dropdown box.
Below is the code to my autocomplete
<auto:AutoComplete borderStyle="none" id="txt_global_search"
textAlign="left" prompt="Search Content"
dataProvider="{global_search_list}"
allowEditingNewValues="true" allowMultipleSelection="true" allowNewValues="true"
backspaceAction="remove"
[Code] .....
I seem to have is that the Autocomplete component that seems to be part of flex extras is not displaying the list of items in the dropdown list. Basically, I get a list of blank items. I know they are there and they are the right items because as soon as I click on one, I get the right text in the combobox.
my Code in the mxml looks something like this
<mx:FormItem label="Company:" width="750" fontSize="20" horizontalAlign="right" color="#000000" required="true">
<ns1:AutoComplete enabled="true" labelField="CompanyName" textAlign="left" dropdownWidth="450" id="txtCompany" width="450" />
[Code]....
Again, when I type "T" in the text box I see a dropdown list with 3 empty items. Clicking on the third item puts "Test3" in the textbox. But the items themselves are not visible.
It almost as if its a font/foreground color thing, but I've played around with some of those settings too with no success.
For some reason Flash Builder 4 doesn't autocomplete any more for new projects I create (either pure Actionscript or Flash Pro projects). But for previous projects it still works fine.For instance when I go to create a new actionscript class, when I click browse next to Superclass there are only TWO classes that come up. EventDispatcher & Sprite. Where have the rest of the classes gone?
When I try to type inside the class.. ie var mc:MovieClip... as I'm typing MovieClip nothing comes up any more.. pushing ctrl+space doesn't bring up a list of classes either. Importing classes, no code hinting comes up at all.I haven't changed anything in Flash Builder between now and when my previous projects were created.
I'm using jQuery Autocomplete just as in this example: [URL] The problem is, the area where you see the Result box in that example - that's where my flash object is. So, when the autocomplete dropdown appears, most of the text is concealed by the flash object (which I can't move). How can I make the autocomplete text appear over the flash object (concealing its view rather than vice versa)?

I'm trying to create a pull down menu. Not one that drops down when rolled over but one that drops down when clicked and stays down until an item is selected. Once an item is selected or the menu is clicked out of it retracks again.
My strategy is to create a movie clip for the initial menu that when clicked jumps to another movie clip where ther menu is extracted and houses movie clip buttons that hightlight when rolled over and when clicked redirect to another movie clip related to the button that was selected.
is this the proper way to do this? And second: can you offer some direction for the action script?
I think that you can do this using html but if you have a PDF in your root directory will Flash be able to link to bookmarked pages in that document?
View 2 RepliesI have a script that always returns iframe HTML back to flash. I was looking to get help on how to build some RegEx code to only find the URL. I would only like this substring so I can use it in another script.Here is the iframe code the I want to search for and return the substring:
HTML Code:
<iframe SCROLLING="no" id="myFr" style="width:660px; height:500px; border:0px; margin:0px; padding:0px; overflow:hidden" src="http://www.blabla.net/sdsdsd/?ut=wecsdsd&lang=EN"></iframe>
This is then best O could come up with but unfortunately.... it returns src=" too.
ActionScript Code:
private var _findTheURL:RegExp = /src=u0022(.*)u0022/i;
In CS4, using AS 2.0, I'm using loadMovie to pull in different ads (swfs).This is working great, but one swf is not getting along. It was coded in AS 3.0, and some content beneath masks is not displaying correctly.I obtained the original fla file, but still can't come up with a solution.I tried setting it to 2.0, but then none of the AS works.I don't know Actionscript very well so rewriting the ad's functions is not an option.convert the swf I'm trying to load in? Or an alternative to loadMovie in 2.0?
View 3 RepliesI am using flash CS4, AS2 and have had a client request for something that I'm not sure is possible.
I have created a calculator that calculates the cost savings that my client offers their customers. There are many options available in the calculator and it is quite in depth. At one point there is a pull down menu where the site visitor can choose their product, then enter the amount they pay for it currently. If their product is not listed, the site visitor can choose "other" from the list.
Is it possible that when the client selects "other", the text IN the pull down component for that option could be dynamic, so that the site visitor can enter the name of their product? The product they enter does not need to be submitted anywhere, nor does it need to remain upon that visitor's next visit. It simply needs to be there for the duration of their current session, to help the client keep track of what product they are comparing.
I just started making some simple banners for web sites. I got a new one to do this morning, and I was asked to make a button that says drag/pull here. as you drag/pull down, it reveals the layer below it. Also, as the button reaches halfway, it needs to go all the way automatically as well, so the users don't have to drag all the way down themselves. Is that something I need to do in actionscript
View 3 Replieshow to go about searching for this since I don't know the terms used for it. I am trying to make an interface to use on a website that would have to pull up images and text with no preloading. Think of an online encyclopedia; you put in a word and it pulls up the object/animal/etc with a description. I am looking at needing to pull up thousands of different things; hence the no preloading.
View 2 RepliesI'm using Flash CS4 as my IDE with Actionscript 3 and Flash Player 10. I'm working on a bigger project but the area I'm struggling in is dynamically pulling an image from the flash library (already loaded). I've been finding the same answers to my question all over and they seem to keep producing the same error so apparently I'm just not getting some little detail. I have an image loaded in the library called test1.jpg. I've right clicked on it and selected 'Export for ActionScript' and 'Export in frame 1'. The class is 'MyMc' and the Base class is 'flash.display.BitmapData'. My code is attached.
and it produces the following errors:
quote:
1136: Incorrect number of arguments. Expected 2. 1067: Implicit coercion of a value of type MyMc to an unrelated type flash.display:DisplayObject.
