ActionScript 3.0 :: Dynamically Retrieving Xml Data

Sep 7, 2010

I'm experimenting with data retrieval from xml spreadsheets. I have 5 links in the xml labelled:

<link0>index.html</link0>
<link1>about.html</link1>
<link2>portfolio.html</link2>
<link3>links.html</link3>
<link4>contact.html</link4>

In my movie, I have a loop, which upon each revolution a dynamic 'counter' ticks from 0 to 4, then resets etc:

ActionScript 3.0 :: Dynamically Retrieving URL From XML And Using It As Button Link

Apr 14, 2010

I've got my flash application loading all the images found in an XML file (under <file>image</file> and i want to use the url found in the same node of each image <eventurl>url</eventurl> but I can't seem to target only the image I'm clicking.

If I click an image (and say there's 20 on stage all loaded dynamically) the button will try and take you to ALL the <eventurl>(s) found in the XML document.

Code:
<pictures>
<picture>
<title>Flyer 1</title>

[Code]....

When you rollover the images they scale perfectly and it correctly only scales the SPECIFIC image you are rolling over. However when I try and do this for the click and try and make it target the corresponding images URL it tries to take you to ALL the urls.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Retrieving Total Bytes On Dynamically Loaded Clip?

Jun 23, 2004

I'm trying to create a script that will check different supplied filename paths, insert them into a movieclip, and retrieve the total bytes of the clip so I can determine whether or not the filename is valid. I'm having trouble with the bolded code below. Basically its checking to see if the loaded clip's bytes are more than 0. If its 0 then I know the path was wrong.I've tried using .onData and .onLoad as event handlers, and getBytesTotal and getBytesLoaded as my conditions for my following if statement. When I trace the result I get 0 even if the movie was successfully found and loaded... anyone know whats wrong?!?!

Code:
if (presType == "web") {
videoName1 = videoName + "_300k.swf";

ActionScript 2.0 :: Retrieving Array Data From XML?

Oct 29, 2006

I have XML data that is loaded into a mulitdimensional array.

I would like to call that information later in my actionscript but it seems that the array has not populated before I want to use it.

I am using the onload() method of the XML object.

I can trace the contents of the array directly after it is loaded with my loop, but later in the code a trace returns "undefined". My array is globally scoped.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Retrieving XML Data With Variables

Nov 9, 2009

I'm not even sure if this is possible, but I'm looking to retrieve a string from an embedded XML file, using a variable as the XML element's name. Here's what my code currently looks like, although it doesn't quite work:

Code:
private final function getAreaTitle(_index:int):String
{
var _element:String = map_XML.mapnode.@title[_index];

[Code]....

I'm not massively familiar with the XML format, so apologies if I've not explained myself very well. As you can hopefully see, I have one XML file containing my map data and another containing my text, such as area titles and locations. What I'm trying to retrieve in the example above is the string with the label "title_training" from the "text_XML" file. Of course, the function should be able to return the title for any area, so I need to find a way of converting "_element" in to the right format

Flex - HTTPService Not Retrieving Current Data?

Oct 13, 2010

I'm using mx.rpc.http.HTTPService to retrieve data from a web service. On the initial call to "loadWsData", HTTPservice accurately retrieves all the data.

However, on any and all subsequent calls HTTPService does not accurately retrieve the data; rather it always retrieves the first data set. I've confirmed that the web service is providing accurate data, both from web browsers and a ruby ws client script.

Flex :: Datagrid Freezes While Retrieving Data?

May 26, 2009

i have a datagrid which grows in size depending on the result of a call to my db. The call to the database returns an object with 30+ values for each row. When the number of rows returned exceeds about 80-90 the datagrid renders odd. It displays the first 50-60 rows fine but then it displays blank rows and they even continue to display outside the border of the datagrid.what is happening? Im using mxml webservice to retrieve the data.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Attaching And Retrieving Data With Instance Names?

May 13, 2009

I'm developing an AS3 module where the user interacts with certain hardware. One part is highlighting the hardware's features when the user hovers certain points on it. There's quite a lot of work to be done here (about 6 modules with about 30 highlights each) so I figured I would make it as changeable as possible.

On the stage I've placed all instances of a movieclip that acts as the pointer for the highlights. This movieclip uses a class that animates it upon mouseover/mouseout (hence only two animation functions are required for them all). At the same time I want to display a unique text for every point, and this is where the trouble comes in.
I figured I could attach data with each instance to the class somehow, and then create a new text field upon accessing the class. This is what I came up with:

Code:
// Features
f1.name = "V�xla mellan anv�ndnings- och vilol�ge.";
f2.name = "Display.";
f3.name = "Visa den elektroniska programguiden.";

[code]....

As you can see I tried using the instance property name to attach the data, it failed though (I didn't get a compile error for this but I couldn't retrieve the data in the class).How would you approach this? Do I have to create a variable for each instance's data, then match them (same number etc.)?

Actionscript 3 :: Dynamic Application Saving And Retrieving Data To XML Via MovieClip

May 1, 2011

I am creating an application in Flash CS4 that will load data from an XML file and add a movieClip for each item to the stage. Each movie clip contains a NumericStepper component and Input text field.

The user needs to be able to change the fields and update the XML file for the event.CHANGE event.

The XML file needs to be formed like this. I need to be able to navigate between sections and load the data for each one.

<sections>
<section>
<data>

I just need a push in the right direction. I using the Object Oriented Programming methods with a Document class and movieClip classes to control my application. I have been spinning my tires creating several crippled versions.

Flash :: #3115 Error When Retrieving Data From SQLite Database

Oct 4, 2011

I have this little piece of code to retrieve data from a local SQLite database (to an AIR app):

import flash.filesystem.File;
import flash.data.SQLConnection;
import flash.data.SQLStatement;

[Code]....

It is only a "proof of concept" piece of code and it "lives" in the first frame of the timeline of the Flash IDE. What happens? When I compile my SWF (AIR for iPhone), I get this error:

SQLError: 'Error #3115: SQL Error.', details:'no such table: 'background'', operation:'execute', detailID:'2013'

I created a basic db with a Firefox extension (SQLiteManager). What can cause this error? The table exists!

Data Integration :: Dynamically Generated Forms?

Oct 26, 2006

My company has a database-driven system of web forms, each ofwhich consists of many questions in various layouts (2-columnradio, 1 column checkbox, etc). The forms are never hard-coded.Each HTTP request causes Java code to perform DB queries todynamically generate the various questions and answers.Thosequestions are then rendered through JSP and Struts tiles into HTML.The HTML also contains JavaScript functions to hide/showconditional questions on the web page based on answers to earlierquestions. Now we're trying to figure out the best way to adapt thissystem to use a Flash front-end instead of HTML/JavaScript.My preliminary research suggests at least two possibleapproaches:

1. A pre-compiled SWF could send a request with certainparameters, and the server could respond with an XML description ofthe form to build. Then the SWF could parse that XML andynamically generate the form using attachMovie for each formelement (with a lot of math to determine relative positions ofelements with variable sizes, like text labels). 2. Flex might reduce the code for placing elements, by usingMXML to describe the form structure as well as visual arrangement.I haven't used this yet, and I'm wary of Flex 2 simply because itrequires Flash Player 9 which is only at 50% browser penetration
