Is there a way to input data in to vector3d instance same way like when creating the new vector3D instance (example 1), instead of doing it separately for each axis (example 2).
example 1
ActionScript Code:
var vec:Vector3D = new Vector3D(1,2,3);
[Code].....
i wanted to place 3 objects in 6 different places so i need my program to randomly select 3 Vector3d from the given 6.
i was thinking using array... but how do i put the vector3d value into an array?
or do i need to use a different method?
I'm working with the 3D in Flash book and the code examples are throwing errors because of changes to the Away3D library. Away3D changed their Number3D to the native Flash Vector3D, which has caused the following errors in my code:
DescriptionResourcePathLocationType
1067: Implicit coercion of a value of type flash.geom:Vector3D to an unrelated type away3d.core.base:Vertex. line 26

I've created a game in Flash and I'm using Matrix3D and Vector3D. It works perfectly locally, but as soon as I put it on a server, the graphics don't render and I only see a thin line where a sphere should be.
I've done all the imports, but nothing seems to get it working!
I always thought this (mixed arrays) was possible, but now as I want to use it it won't work. I'm trying to create an array consisiting of 4 Vector3D objects and a Number. Yet Flash won't let me create such an array like:
Code:
var myArray = new Array(new Vector3D(1,2,3),new Vector3D(2,3,4),new Vector3D(3,4,5),new Vector3D(4,5,6),new Number(0));
Am I missing something here with the creation of the Array or is it just not possible and will I have to use an "Object" instead. Of course I could also just store my Number in the .x a fifth Vector3D-Object but this doesn't seem very practical to me.
I have a site with an SWF that I can put some metrics into, such as ZIP Code, Weight, etc.. then, it takes that info and gives me shipping rates.
I need to build a front-end site that I can have a forms page that will push data to the backend SWF, and then return the data back from the SWF to the front end.
Front-end -> SWF (Zip Code, Weight, Size) -> *Calculates* -> Front-End
That should be the flow.. So I need to send data to the backend, GET the data that it calculated, and return the results to my front-end.

View 1 RepliesI have a textbox for input . and a button for duplication of the instance.
my instance is a simple box.in the box movie symbol i have another textbox.
when i click the button, my instance gets duplicated. but i want the value in the input textbox to be copied to another texbox which is in the box object. how do i do that?
here is my code where i have duplicated a simple circle. i want the text input to be copied to the textbox in the new box instance

I am trying make a button that plays a movieclip whose instance name is in an array.
for example my array (named "current") consists of an movieclip instance name:
ActionScript Code:
current = ["instanceName"]
Using the trace command, I know that the array definitely contains the name.
Now, I want to insert that instance name from the array into a gotoAndPlay command on a button like this:
ActionScript Code:
(((instanceName from Array here))).gotoAndPlay("2");
I have 6 movieclips on the stage, each with a unique instance name. I just want to put them in order determined from an external xml file.I can get the name and order of each instance name evident from a trace, but I can't use that xml variable name to position the x on the stage.Seems simple, but it won't let me use the variable as an instance name:
//begin AS3
var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
var xml:XML = new XML();

Does creating a new instance of an Object that uses an identical name to an older instance, delete the previous instance? Or should the original instance be deleted first? The code uses a ridiculous amount of XML vars. Isn't it less memory intensive to parse the XML and save the properties to an Object, and then delete the XML Object, rather than keep the XML Object around and reference it's child nodes directly? Is it better form to break up a huge XML file (>600lines/3200vars) into smaller chunks?
View 1 RepliesI have a MC which when user presses a button slides onto the screen. Within this MC is a number of buttons, with names like 'btn1', 'btn2' etc.I have already searched around and found a tutorial which shows me how to load images from an XML file.What I'd like to do is for each button in the MC, find the corresponding XML element and then load those images, then move onto the next button, until they are all done.So I'd imagine the XML would be something like:
Code:
<images>
<btn1>

I have a class LoadXML which loads and extracts data from an XML file. I am using this data for my Main class by creating a new LoadXML class. I now want to use this data for my other classes but without having to create another new instance of LoadXML. Since global variables dont exist in A3, I tried creating get methods in LoadXML and then returning these values into variables in the desired classes.[code]

I'm sorry this is a question from a server ignoramus, I've previously captured user input using a combination of cfml and text files. That was way back in 2002 and using AS 1.0. I'm now working in an environment where the server guy won't put any scripts on, and I mean none, no PHP, no ASP, no CFML, nothing. Would anyone know if there is a way of capturing user input without using a script, please? This prolly shows a really basic lack of understanding of how servers work but I'm a bit desperate. I know the Flash Learning Interactions can work with SCORM and pop results into LMSs that use SCORM and our LMS does use SCORM, but it seems to only be within the learning interactions and I don't know where to start to tailor this for the input I need to capture.

I am using an mx:DateField in Flex and it works nice with the date picker, but I also need it to be editable, so I set editable="true". The problem is that now the user can enter anything they want - even though I have a formatString="YYYY-MM-DD" set. The date picker honors this format, but if the user enters in the format MM/DD/YYYY they can - or they can even enter garbage data.
I realize I can set up a data validator to check that it is a valid date and in the appropriate format as per the flex docs, but I was hoping to have something I have seen in other languages where the text field would show something like "0000-00-00" and the user clicks in to the field and it allows them to change only the digits (the zeros) and can not type any alpha characters or add/remove any length.
I need to have a data field that the user will enter in a zip code, hit submit, and have a specific movie clip load, based on their entry. There aren't different movie clips for every single zip, but there will be 20 or so different clips that would load, based on whether or not that zip falls within a certain group. For instance, if someone enters in a zip for Washington DC, I would need to load a clip that shows that general area ... DC, VA and MD.

give me a example of a fla file where we can input our data and the data will be save using flash MX?
View 3 Repliesi want a solution or sample file of exactly how to save a flash input data to xml file.. im really new to xml.. i dont know how to script it in flash. Ex: there will be a two fields of input... 1) text input... 2)checkbox input/ other... and a submit/ save button the above will be in flash interface.... so when i run the file and key in the data into the text input box or other.. the data what ever i key in has to reflect in XML that means it has to save the data in XML... so that i can open the xml and have look of the data wat ever i have keyed in..
im really badly in need.. what action to put where and how to create xml. what to put in that... i know some of you really would have done this.

I'm building a sidescrolling world where you can move around.The idea is that you should be able to move to any point in the world, as well as travelling really fast.I'm pregenerating a long list of data about objects to place, their positions etc.
Now. When moving to a point far away from current position I don't want to loop through the whole list of objects to find what objects should be seen and not, so I'm thinking I should divide the position list into sections, each covering an area equal to the visible area. That way I would only have to roll through the lists closets to the new position.This would however result in an array of thousands of elements each consisting of about 20 objects and I'm figuring that might not be very healthy.One solution would be to split everything up further so that in the end I would have a handable nr of arrays containing a handable nr of elements.
You're probably thinking I should generate positions on the fly, but since one place in the world can be revisited I need to store all positions.

I have the following scenario: I'm loading data values from an external XML file and I want to swap them with other ones in order to show the latter further on in the movie. As an example, I have the following data in the XML file:
Code:
<set label='Epson'>
<set label='Hitachi'>
<set label='Toshiba'>
<set label='Mitsui'>
<set label='Panasonic'>
[Code] .....
They will appear in a random order but only once in each graph. In essence, I need something that takes the XML label attribute and swaps it with an other value before sending it further on to the rest of the movie for processing. It would be more practical to do the swapping in the server app that writes the xml file before it is written but that is not possible so I need to do that search and replace when I load the xml in Flash... I could use even something like open the xml - search and replace values - save to new xml
I have mySQL database with data: username and password, I need output data with mySQL in DataGrid when I press button.
View 1 RepliesI have created an item-renderer (IListItemRenderer) to customize the display of a datagrid, and I override the data getter/setter to pass in the relevant variable.
In the item-renderer I have a button, which, when clicked, should display a form populated with various fields of the aforementioned variable. To do this, Button is overridden so that it displays whatever IFactory implementation it is passed.
private function instantiateDropdown():void
{
_dropdownFactory = new ClassFactory(MyPanel);
_dropdownFactory.properties = {boundData: _myVariable};
[Code]....
My IFactory implementation is a panel containing my form, and it is displayed when the button is clicked, as desired. However, the variable is not set. It seems that in order to instantiate my IFactory before the overridden button needs to access it, my new ClassFactory() statement needs to be in the preinitialize event handler, but the variable has not been set at that time. Setting the properties of my IFactory instance after it has been created (e.g. in the click event) does not appear to work.
How should I pass my variable to my ClassFactory-generated instance so that it populates the form correctly?
