I'm using AS 3.0 to generate movieClips to display external data from XML in Flash. These data need to update every xxx seconds. But at reloading it just writes the new data on top of the old data... Since not every update will have the same number of lines or clips next to eachother I need to clear the whole stage at once before writing the new data.
View 1 RepliesI'm making a game where I have a lot of movie clips that I need to load so I was wondering wheather ActionScript 3.0 allowed us to load external movieclips? Can we import an external display object (movieclip) into a display object container? Or do I have to load a .swf which contains the movieclip onto the stage? What happens if I need to pull in multiple .swf files can the movieclips overlap or will one .swf file block the user from viewing the .swf in a lower depth? Can I import the movieclip from the external .swf file from its library and add it to the main stage rather then adding the whole .swf to the main stage?
View 2 RepliesI want to generate movielclips dynamically using xml nodes in a circular fashion (lets assume 360 degree circle). Suppose if i have 5 nodes in xml, then it has to generate only 5 movieclips in a circular fashion. and if it was 50, it has to generate 50 mc's in a circular fashion again.

View 1 RepliesI have combed the Web and I can't seem to find the answer. All I want to do is display some html-formatted text, located within an external XML file, in a dynamic text field in Flash CS3.
I don't have any code to supply because at this point the only thing I'm trying to display in the text field is "<b>This</b> is a <a href="http://www.google.com">test</a>." For this hypothetical example, I could call the text field myTextField. I just need to know how to format the AS3 code to get the XML to display inside myTextField.

I have a project that requires me to display the waveform for a uploaded sound. The sound is always an MP3, most of the time 22.05 kHz mono, with speech only. The project are written with Flex/ActionScript 3. It's meant to run in the browser, but might also consider converting to AIR if that can help.
All examples I've found and looked at for generating a wave, are either doing some visualization in real time as the sound is playing, or, the most promising, as3soundeditorlib, keeps the wave already generated, but does it very slowly, seemingly using as long time as playing through the audio would've taken.Is there any way to generate the wave faster than real time?
I've got a movieclip in my library called primaryCommMC.I'm loading these 5 times onto the stage and naming them commMC0-4 using the following:[code]Right now they're all obviously loading on top of each other. I want to stack these movieclips on top of each other so the first movieclip will be at y=0 and the following at y=(the height of the proceeding MC + 5 (a little gap)).
View 1 Replieshow can I generate and address Instances of Movieclips like Original --> riginal2...Original3....in a for-loopInside pure Computerlanguage we can use a counter to fill up and read out an array. But how to address a series of Movieclips?Further Question: Can I produce a serie of variables, indexed by the index being part of the name of the variable? And read it out again?Already forgotten where, I read of a procedure like
equal("Original" + String(i)).dosomething();
instead of
Original1.dosomething();

View 1 RepliesThis is the edit to my question. There is quite a bit of code here, but the problem area is below the second set of three line comments. I stuck the rest in just in case I'm completely wrong about where the problem is. With the "if" statement I can display fine in a run, but not in debug. If I get rid of the conditional it runs fine in debug, but not in a regular run. These errors only occur on the first run of the quiz. In either mode it runs fine fi I take a second quiz.

I will be creating a program to use for data entry. I'll be studying zebras in kenya and I won't have the internet there as I'm recording the data. I'd like to be able to send the data I generate in flash to an external text file. I understand I need some sort of script to do that, but is this something I can run just on my machine? (I'll probably make the data into xml format).
View 1 RepliesI have a function with a loop that uses an xml file to get jpg stored in folders...
ActionScript Code:
projectData[ "rootdir" ].attributes[ "src" ] + "/" + currentPictureData[ "fullsize" ].attributes[ "src" ]
the code above is inside the loop and spits out a list of urls for jpgs, nice (project1/full1.jpg, project1/full2.jpg, etc)
can I store these in an array inside this loop so i can use them after the loop has finished?
ActionScript Code:
var photoArray:Array = new Array(projectData[ "rootdir" ].attributes[ "src" ] + "/" + currentPictureData[ "fullsize" ].attributes[ "src" ]);

I have a website in which the content on the index page is controlled by a PHPMyAdmin database. I want a a flash "movie" at the top, that can take the data from the site, and slide-show it until a user clicks on a specific link, in which the movie will direct itself to the clicked event.
The page is for a booking/promotion concert company. They want a "Featured Shows", "Calendar", and flash file that all are interconnected. One page. Does anyone know how to do this, where to find tutorials, or so on? Note, i'm not wanting to WRITE data to the database, I just want to GET data to post on the flash file.
