basically i have an xml file that is loading image paths to my loader clip, i need to modify the code to load a pdf in a new window aswell. I'm working alonge the lines of using an if statement, but i do not know how to define it to distingiush the pdfs from the jpgs.
function changePic(pict:Number):void {
pictURL = EXTxml.picture[pict].@image;

I need help with page "Thumbs" (as first frame), page "List" (as second frame) and Image gallery (as third and base). So, every frame have one own XML file...When you choose some thumb or list line, you must came to this image in the gallery. Easy, sure.. but i don't know what Function exactly i need to use.It's one flash move, hence it doesn't work with getURL or loadMovie...Some exemple with 3 separate pages here: yuri.fr
View 1 RepliesHaving a few problems with what I thought was a simple if statement. Here is the code:
[Code]...
I can't quite figure out the small problem with the code. It seems to just bypass the first requirement of the if statement when I do type in the proper input and go straight to the else statement.
I defined an array construct and assigned two variables to part of the array so I can simple sort it:
number1 = array[i]
number2 = array[i+1]
if(number1 > number2){
...swap etc
Problem is, when I try the comparason if the one of the numbers has a higher digit value, it ignores the statement entirely. Eg If 16 > 8 it skips it. So I tried adding '16' and '08' into the array and that worked perfectly with the statement.
I want to find out which type an object has. Therefore I thought of the 'switch' statement, but how would you do that? The following code does not work, but you will get the point of what I want to do.
Code:
switch (object) {
case is String:
trace("string");
case is Array:
trace("array");

i need to make a sort of template for a group of files. it must contain both text and images (sort of help files where there is text and explanatory figures). i have to make this template 100% dynamic, meaning that i don't know the amount of text or number of images or where those images will be within the text. my client should be able to add text and images without having to edit the swf.
i know how to make textfields and movieclips during runtime, and how to load dynamic text and images, but the main problem is that the client wants the images inbetween paragraphs - not in a seperate place. -how do i set breakpoints in a dynamically loaded text -how do i position the images? -how do i position the rest of the text?
I'm trying to load data from this URL:http[url]....that displays the cheapest travels from MyTravel.What i would like to do is extract he cheapest price and dislay it in a dynamic textfield.My problem is that i don't know how to sort the prices and select the cheapest
View 9 Repliesso I am trying to embed xml files for a game based on the button I select. I assume I would need an event listener, however I do not know how the function should look.
Code:
[Embed(source="folder/jonesy.sng", mimeType="application/octet-stream")]
[Embed(source="folder/markysng", mimeType="application/octet-stream")]
[Embed(source="folder/John.sng", mimeType="application/octet-stream")]
The instance name for the button is "jonesy", "John" , "Marky". I would like when the user selects the button jonesy, the above code is activated.
If the user selects " John, or Marky" the corresponding embed code for those are loaded.
I have
Code:
jonesy.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, whichxml);
John.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, whichxmljohn);
function whichxml (e:MouseEvent):void
[code]....
this isnt' working though. Not sure what is missing, or if it just needs to be an IF Then statment.I guess embeds have to go on the intro frame, or first frame? But, the problem I have is that, I have so many embeds it is freezing the whole game.
I have an array that is structured like so.
[Code]....
Normally, I'd just like to sort the array alphabetically using the name field, which is easy enough using the following code. However, I'd like to create a radio button called 'loadedRadioButton' and when it's click on, I'd like to sort the array on the loaded value first(any items with loaded=true should be at the top, sorted alphabetically), then afterwards, any other items with loaded=false, sorted alphabetically should follow afterwards, how can I do it?
Here is a website that needs a sort function to sort the video by Last name. [URL] I would like to have a link that popped up videos sorted by last name. Please take a look at the following site for an example. [URL] When you click on seconds in the menu below, it opens a pop-up window that sort the videos in a certain way. If you are willing to,I will give you the source file of what it currently has on [URL]

View 1 Repliesi have "roll over" event listener and i would like to that works only with MovieClips (without textfields etc.). I would like to write something like that:
if(event.target == MovieClip){ do something }
else { do something else}
This doesn`t work properly.
How to check type of event.target in "if" statement?
I'm trying to form a statement that, in effect, is a when statement. I have made a movie clip that fades in and out. As it is rolled over it fades in, and when you roll out, it fades out - no problem scripting that with if statements: if _currentframe == Frame Number.But the issue I'm having is that if you mouse over it and then out quickly, it will interrupt the fade in and automatically goto the fade out frame. I want to have a statement that says if you mouse out "WHEN the fade in is complete (or when it hits frame number whatever), THEN gotoAndPlay fadeout frame" even if the mouse is off the clip.

Basically I have this code where a swf files is loaded withing another swf which is pretty cool and useful. Now when I use it in a swf file which does not have a actionscript class attached to it, it works like a charm but when I attach a action script class I get the following errors:
1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: Loader.
1180: Call to a possibly undefined method Loader.
I need my action script class attached for other functions to work. Below is my code
var Xpos:Number = 0;
var Ypos:Number = 50;
var swf:MovieClip;
var loader:Loader = new Loader();
var defaultSWF:URLRequest = new URLRequest("level select.swf");
loader.load(defaultSWF);

I have built a calculator with a running total variable (stotal) this is working great. There are 30 buttons each having its own value each add or subtract from "stotal".The attached is a much scaled down and simplified version of the calculator. In this sample each button has a value of 200. If the user gets to 1000 or more I want to load an exiernal SWF "succes.swf" that notifies them they have reached 1000.
Here is the AS for one of the buttons. I know I need to wtite this as an "If then Else If" statement in order to get it to work but I am not having much luck;
q1a.onRelease = function(){
if (a1a==true){
a1a=false;
_root.stotal -=200;

I'm using a Flash tool to transfer data to Java. I'm having problems when it comes to sending multiple objects at once. The objects being sent are just generic Object objects, so it's not a case of needed to register a class alias or anything.
Sending one object works fine. Once I start sending multiple objects (putting the same Objects in an Array and sending that), it starts getting weird. Up to three objects in an Array seems to work fine. More than that I get different errors in the readObject() function, such as:
[code]...
If it's going to crash with an "unknown AMF type error", it does so immediately i.e. when we try to read the object, and not when it's trying to read a subobject. In stepping through the read code, it seems when I pass an array of objects, if the length is <= 4, it reads the length right. If the length is bigger than that, it reads it's length as 4.
I'm using a movieclip to load an external XML file. In the XML I have a series of variables:

is there a way to create an if statement that would load a movie clip after a different movieclip is loaded.
i have text_mc and scroll_mc. I dont want scroll_mc to load unless the content is loaded into the text_mc.
I tryed to make an if statement sort of like a something used for a preloader but I must have been off just a bit because it was not working. I dont even know if it possible.
how to load for example two xml files, and how to address each of the files? The red comments will explain what I want

Running into a problem dispatching a custom event from a parent SWF made in Flex Builder to a child SWF made in Flash CS4 that is loaded at runtime. Namely, whenever the child SWF is dispatched an event, I get a runtime error:
[Code]....
The custom event is defined in a standalone library that both the flex project and the flash project link to staticly. I wanted to go this route so that as I add new types of events, I can rebuild the application and flash swfs and not have to worry about moving .as files around (lets hold off on RSL's until I get this *simple* case worked out).
This error message makes it sound like the application defines a myCustomEvent at compile time, and the flash movie defines its own myCustomEvent when it is published. Then when the application is run, the myCustomEvent dispatched in the application doesn't match the one in the flash swf. Now I thought that application domains were supposed to sort all of this out, where the child uses the parent's definition for any classes that are duplicated. But when I load the child swf and use the current domain in the LoaderContext I still get the same error.

I dont want to copy the code from the first into the second and the first and second into the third.
My mind isn't working and there is probably an extremelly simple way to get this working.
I know I could used functions but for some reason it stops the instance referencing working: _root["bullet"+j] doesnt work in a function.
The Flash movie contains 2 Text files, one Component button, and 1 component checkbox.The purpose of the application is to load an XML file(works)Populate 2 text fields with information from the XML file(works)Compare the two text fields, if they contain the same information then the checkbox, via AS is told to be selected. (Heres the problem);
Heres the code:
Code:
runCode_btn.onPress = function() {
data_xml = new XML();
data_xml.ignoreWhite = true;
data_xml.onLoad = function(success) {
[code]....
The idea behind this app is that its an electronic form. The user fills it out, the information is then sent to a newly created XML file, months later the open the XML file in flash, and Flash fills out text fields and check and or unchecks Checkboxes based on the XML data.CheckBoxes are mandatory.But I don't see how I'll be able to use them if i can't create and condition statements based on the loaded Data.

I'm sure you can put if statements inside other if statements, seriously I can't figure it out
Inside Flash, I have a symbol with type graphic in my library and I want to add it to stage using Actionscript 3. Is this possible?
Flash does not let me set any Linkage Properties for Graphic symbols.

The dilemma I currently have is that I'm hosting a resource that is application/octet-stream. In my Actionscript code, I'm using some library that ( from what I can recall ) does new Image and loads a resource into that object which was created.There is a method, loadImage(url) which accepts a url and that's where you feed it the path to the image.I do not have access to the loadImage source code, so I don't know exactly what it does, but the working one loads the image fine because the Content-Type is image/jpeg. The non-working one ( this one I'm trying to fix ) doesn't because of the different Content-Type.I'm wondering if someone can tell me if I can make the flash basically parse the URI as if it were image/jpeg, regardless of the Content-Type? [code]
I assume that Image the constructor is native to flash/AS, but I haven't been able to google the loadImage method so it must be custom, right?Or could the Image constructor itself be custom? An extended version of the original Image with loadImage method and such?Anyways, does anyone know how I can view the source code of loadImage? I did an ack-grep and found the source code for the loadImage method defined in a library:[code]Can anyone offer advice as to how I can do the loadBytes on this? I was thinking of defining a custom method, loadResource or something which can load regardless of Content-Type... or just create an optional parameter in the current load method and inside, branch out based on what was passed.
I have a question about loading external data. When I had all my actionscript export to frame one, it would slow down the preloader and not show up until it was far into the progress bar animation. So I moved everything to frame 2. The problem with that is now my menus which are populated from an xml file are not there when the site starts to play. How can I get my xml data to load on frame one, but leave the .as fils to load in frame 2?
