ActionScript 3.0 :: Importing Boolean And Other Data Types From XML?

Jul 22, 2010

Im trying to wrap my head around data types and phrasing them from xml. From what I gather variables that come in from XML are always treated as a string - even if you declare them as something else before hand?Im not seeing that myself as everything else other then the Boolean is behaving as expected. For example in the code below, if I declare FGFILLCOLOR as anything other then an int, or Number, I get an unrelated type error. So why just Boolean and how can I convert them so they behave properly without declaring all of them as a String? Here is what I've got:

ActionScript 3.0 :: Map Data Types To Custom Types?

Jan 24, 2012

Consider the following function:

Code:
public function foo(bar1:int, bar2:uint, bar3:String, bar4:Boolean):void{}

What I want is to have the different types of data represented by custom named types which are essentially representing the original data types. I other word, I would like to proxy the data types and have a valid function as following:

Code:
public function foo(bar1:PAR_Bar1, bar2:PAR_Bar2, bar3:PAR_Bar3, bar4:PAR_Bar4):void{}

so PAR_Bar1 would proxy the `int` data type, PAR_Bar2 would proxy the `uint` data type, so on and so forth.

The reason I need this is because I'm using a debugger with a GUI that can run methods and allows changing function parameter values in real-time, the issue is that the debugger can't tell me what parameter I'm changing, it only displays the data type of a parameter. So if I need to change 10 different parameters all of type int, the debuggers display all of them as int and not by their names.

I think that if I use proxy types I can easily differentiate between parameters.

So, my question: Is it possible to proxy data types? I mean map specific data types to custom data types that would represent the base data types?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Importing One Swf Into Another And Then Scanning The Children Types In The Imported SWF?

Sep 28, 2009

I'm importing one swf into another and then scanning the children types in the imported SWF. When I do the following, the bitmaps return as Shapes.

Code:
for(var i:Number = 0; i<importedSwf.numChildren; i++) {
trace(importedSwf.getChildAt(i));
}

What I need to do is evaluate the bitmaps in the imported SWF file and see if they have their smoothing property on or not.

Data Integration :: Complex Data Types From PHP To Flash?

Apr 7, 2006

Does anyone know of any really easy and effective ways to move complex data types from PHP into FLASH and vice-versa? A while back I made an attempt to recreate PHP' serialize() function in actionscript but it was really difficult and performance was poor.

I'm able to do it fairly easily for one dimensional arrays indexed by numbers, but when I have to pass either an object (or several objects) or when i have to pass a nested array of arbitrary complexity (such as a data tree) then I get bogged down.

I have a little experience dealing with XML in flash (working with the tree component) but it seems like so much effort when i am dealing with a new data type.

Does anyone know of any pre-packaged components or code (in actionscript and complimentary part in php) that might be useful?

Flex :: Equivalent Datatypes For Various Wsdl Data Types?

Apr 21, 2011

WSDL defines a number of datatypes supported by web service . Is there a documentation stating the various equivalents of those datatypes on flex side. In general for any language that we use to consume web service, how do we get to know the equivalent datatypes of the wsdl types.

One of the web service that I am consuming is returning base64Binary (an image binary data) , What is the equivalent datatype of this on flex ?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Calling A Function Sending Different Data Types As Parameter?

May 23, 2009

In my code there's a function that shows an image on the screen (or loads the image and shows a progress bar). This function is called by clicking on a thumbnail, and it uses a parameter [e.target.name] refering to the property "name" of the thumbnail clicked, which is an integer (or I believe so). The thumbnails are placed inside the cointaner_mc MovieClip.

Code:
container_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickThumb);
function clickThumb(e:MouseEvent):void{
if (my_full_images[e.target.name] == undefined){[code]...

but I want to call this function by clicking on a button, which would need to pass another type of parameter, in this case, a variable which refers to the number of the image displayed on the screen plus one.I tried this:

Code:
clickThumb(image_num + 1);
But it doesn't work, I get the following error:

1067: Implicit coercion of a value of type Number to an unrelated type flash.events:MouseEvent.

How could I call the function clickThumb and make it use "image_num + 1" instead of "e.target.name" ?

Could I dispatch the event (MouseEvent.CLICK, clickThumb), passing this value "image_num + 1" ?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Keeping References To Primitive Data Types/Properties?

Oct 26, 2009

Primitive Data Types (Boolean, int, Null, Number, String, uint, and void) are treated as "values" rather than Objects, so when you pass one of them into a function, instead of passing a reference, it basically clones the information, and creates a new instance. It does the same thing when when you use "primitive1 = primitive2", and instead of passing on a reference, clones it.I thought there might be a slim possibility Flash allows me to reference primitives if I treat them as objects instead of (in this case) ints.

Code:
var num1:int = 5;
var num2:Object;

ActionScript 3.0 :: Importing Swf Into Library And Accessing Data?

Apr 3, 2009

I have stored some basic data in a custom class, imported it into a project, and compiled it into an swf. Now, I want to import that swf into the library of a new, entirely separate flash project, and access the data from the original custom class inside that imported swf.

Here's how I'm trying to go about it (unsuccessfully):

Data Integration :: Importing Text From A XML File?

Sep 18, 2006

I would like to import text from a XML file into a dynamic text field. The XML file contains database records. I have found that Flash does not support the DOM command 'getElementsByTagName()' which I was endeavouring to use to find the record in the XML file that I wanted to associate with a particular dynamic text field.

Is there any other way to search through the XML file for the particular record I am looking for?

ActionScript 2.0 :: Importing Large Amounts Of Data?

Sep 12, 2006

I'm currently using XML to import geo-location data to my flash application.Even though my XML scheme is about as small as can be, I still feel i would do better downloading the variables as text and exploding them. If i manage to change the xml to raw text I can compress the data to about 35% of the original size.I want to load the data in the form a_b_c_d-e_f_g_h.So, to the question; how do I explode a datastring in flash?

ActionScript 2.0 :: Flash 6 Importing Data Into Array And Matching It To Case Switch?

Feb 3, 2011

A quick review of the project, I am importing information from an xml file into an array. From there I have passed the information from the array to a variable.I find it that when I try to match the variable to a string letter, that it is not running through the case switch properly and going straight to the default bit. I have tried numerous solution to check where the problem lies;I have trace the actual position of the array to check if it is the correct letter I am trying to match.Did a length check on the variable that it is only 1, and not containing any spacesWhen I hardcode the letter into the variable, the case works perfectly.Any idea on why this is happening would greatly be apreciated. I have pasted a sample of the code below;

var switchTest = initialSlide_array[1];
switch (switchTest) { //switch case used to check template type

ActionScript 3.0 :: Saving Data To Text File - Appending Data In Text File - Importing Data From Text File

Aug 23, 2011

How can I save data to a text file and also append a record to data in an existing text file? I've used Authowrware previously and it was quite easy to create a large string of data (a comma separated list) and export that to a text file (and create the text file if it didn't already exist). I could then easily append additional rows of data (records) to the text file. We want to build a questionnaire that will store the data locally on the computer in a text file. Each record may have a few hundred data points in a comma separated list.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Importing Text Data Into Dynamic Text Field?

Feb 20, 2008

I've got a flash movie with a menu that jumps to a particular frame to load a page. On that frame, there is a movie clip (instance name: scrollbox_frame), and in that movie clip there is a four-layer animation. One of the layers is not animated but contains a dynamic text box (instance name: about_frame), with multi-line and HTML turned on, and a variable name of "aboutus". This is the code that is triggered by the menu button on the root of the flash movie:

Boolean - Using Visibility With Conditionals

Is there a better way to do use a use a boolean with visible? I'm setting up animations that have conditions for visibility, and I don't want to use something that performs poorly. This animation blinks 30 times and stops. It works without error, but takes a moment to load. I would like to learn other ways of using visibility with conditionals.

This is what I used 'waits before playing'

Within my movie, there is an object. When this object is pressed, it is to change the _root.myaccess="yes"; I am tracing the variable within the movie clip and it shows me: I do not understand why it is changing my string definitition from "no" to false. Because of this, my variable does not seem to change to "yes' on object (button) pressed.
