ActionScript 3.0 :: Dynamically Add New Elements To The Stage For Each Record In My External XML File?
May 9, 2009
I am building a pretty basic app which pulls data from an XML file and displays it on my site. It's basically for displaying reviews of other sites so each record has a title, image, description, rating and URL field.I have got as far as being able to display one record at a time, however I would like to dynamically add new placeholders depending on how many reviews there are for a given category.In Flex you can do this with I think it is called the repeater component. However I am not sure the best way to achieve this in flash? So to summarize I guess I am looking for a way to dynamically add new elements to the stage for each record in my external XML file for a given category.
I am currently designing an interactive magazine through flash and was wondering if there is any way that the user of the magazine upon opening it can be prompted to record their name and then have that voice recording played back when they perform certain actions while interacting with the magazine?
I have a multiuser flex application. The application includes voice chat from a streaming server as well as various other dynamic interactions.I was wondering if it is possible to capture the Experience in the context of a particular user and write it out to a video file for offline playback / sharing / etc... Something similar to Recording a stream from a Camera object, but only the Stage is the input device... I can't think of any way to do this, so I'm putting it out there for the smart people.
[code]Also pass the Stage reference still it not showing any error and text box is also blank,text is embed ed and the code is.[code]If I put import flash. display. List; it shows an error 1172: Definition flash.display:List could not be found.
All I'm trying to do is load an external .swf file into a precise location on the stage of my existing Flash file. I've spent an hour and a half on this site search and found nothing. What do I add to my loadMovie command to place the file at specific x,y coordinates?
When I attempt to create a new flash list component from my as3 file (FrontEnd.as) and add it to the stage, I get the following error: "1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: List". Below is the[code]...
I'm making a mockup for a client and I need to Load the .swf with the exact stage size so the graphic elements do not float outside the loaded movies stage area. [URL]Basic load code I'm using...
I'm trying to load text dynamically with an external.txt file. This works fine. The problem is formatting the test. For some reason, loading the text from an external file has complicated things a bit. Nothing formats the way I want it to...the text size doesn't even change.When I started with this movie, I had my copy in a string in the AS code and was able to format the text color, font, size, textbox width and height as well. No problems. That's issue #1.
Issue #2 : you'll notice I'm using the greensock classes to animate a movieclip (also has text in it). I'm using a mask layer over the MC. When I try running the movie, my animation works fine, but none of my text loads...and it doesn't matter if it's a text string in the code or an external text doc. I was told that I need to embed the font..which I have the code for, as you'll see below..but it did nothing.
I am attempting to load text from an external .txt file into dynamic text fields using AS2When you click on a button (named forward and back), I want the next &-denoted "news" item to repopulate the current dynamic text boxes to replace the first bit of info.This is what I have so far, but I'm stumped. I used the trace to make sure the button is "clicking" (it is), but I can't get the integer to go up a number and repopulat the fields.
var newsData:LoadVars = new LoadVars(); newsData.load("data.txt"); newsData.timeline = this;
I need to dynamically load image and text (title + description) from external XML file in Flash 8 and show image in the left and all text in the right(title top then description) and scroll all the content(image + text). More than one image and text will be there.Pls send solution + fla & xml.
I am dynamically loading external SWFs in a Main Fla in response to clicks on a menu.
The loading code is standard and works fine for all of the SWFs except one. When I try to load it I get the following error: Error #2044: Unhandled IOErrorEvent:. text=Error #2035: URL Not Found.
I am certain that the URL to the problem SWF is correct. The SWF itself doesn't load any other SWFs or images. The problem SWF is linked to an external class file and compiled with it. i.e. in the properties panel of the main timeline of the problem SWF's Fla I have entered the path to the external class.
1. there is no problem compiling this SWF with the class (it works fine by itself)2. if I remove the external class from the properties panel and don't use it the resulting SWF imports without a problem into the Main Fla mentioned before So the problem seems to be the fact that the external class is linked in the properties panel. Is this a path problem?
I am very new to Flash and am looking for some help with linking a class I made that will shake the mc when hovered. Right now, I have all 8 mc on the stage. I had it working with repeating the code for each button but I wanted to make it into a class that way I could emininate some of the code.
I have linked each button by selecting "export for actionscript" and set the base class to "ShakeButton" and each class is named after the mc name. the mc names are just 1_mc - 8_mc.I am getting an error of 1120: Access of undefined property shaker_mc.Here is the code that I have in the ShakeButton.as file
I have a .as file which calls up different screens onto a main stage. Where would I place the coding to get an external .swf file to appear on the stage? my code looks as follows...
For the main page... package { import flash.display.*; import flash.events.*; public class Main extends MovieClip { private var intro:Intro; [Code] .....
I just can't seem to combine them properly in order to get the .swf file to load.
I hava an application that captures video from webcam and renders some additional elements on its display (augmented reality).Now I need to record this video and stream it to FMS.
In my website I would like to import a external file into the stage .The appearance of this file is an image divided into a grid of 6 rectangles (each one a mcl). What I would like to do is, on mouse over, each mcl could rotate to show its back. The idea is when you click , let's say, Adobe the Adobe logo will appear divided in 6 rectangles and when you go over with the mouse they rotates to show Adobe products.
When I add an object from the library to the stage in the timeline (by putting the script in the timeline) it works but when I try to add it from this .as file nothing happens.
I am trying to create html links from a external xml file to be dynamically added to a text field (im using flash builder)the process i am having trouble is: -Loading an external swf which contains the textfield loading external xml which contains the cdata with links adding the cdata to the htmltext property of the textfield the link is showing correctly, the mouse turns into a hand... but when i click on the link it doesnt work. i have seen a few forum posts similar to this problem but all are using textfield control in flash builder but im trying to add the cdata into an externally loaded swf which holds the textfield.
I have one fla called index.swf it import another swf called (home.swf) through addChild()In home.swf, there is a button.i am trying to make this button activate an event in index.swf I tried using root but not worked I tried use stage but neither worked.

I want to load my external SWF file using the following code in "Panel4_mc" instead of on stage. How can I do it" function btnClick(event:MouseEvent):void {
I have a dynamic textfield called neighName on my Flash stage. I also have a movieclip that I call a region on my stage. When I mouseover the region, I want a word to display in a little popup *and* I want some text to display in my textfield. I have an external .as file for handling the region. I can make the code "see" my region, but I can't seem to make it see my textfield, although no errors are being thrown.
I'm importing a cool external photo gallery .swf; however I can't figure out the stage settings. I created an empty movie clip and added the import script in there. Works good and can align clip where I want, but the .swf file is not appearing as a 550px X 413px contained .swf. It stretches to fit the main stage.
I am loading an external .swf file onto my stage. This is the script I am using:
[Code]...
It loads everything great, but it lags so bad when it plays!!! Am I loading everything prperly? The external .swf file is just under 200 kb, but that should be ok, right? there is a way to prevent lagging. maybe a way to ask for more ram from the computer?
I am loading an external swf file/movieclip onto the main stage - it is a simple transition and once it has finished playing, I want to jump to a frame in the main stage.I've loaded the movieclip onto the stage, but don't know how to jump to another frame after it has played and stopped...what's needs to be added to this to goto a frame on the main stage........
