I have an xml file that includes image paths.
I'd like to read that image path from the xml and display the image (a jpg or gif) on the stage.
However, when I trace image_path from my xml file, the result seems to knock off the "http:" part of the node.
Also, when I load the image, the loader ends up being null (maybe this is because I didn't set up an event handler for it).

View 1 RepliesIm working on this project where I get a stream and eventually a bitmap from a webcam. Right now I'm kind of stuck trying to crop a subset from theis bitmap along a path of x,y coordinates. The path will always contain four corners, but these are not necessarily 90 degrees, so It is usually a somewhat skewed square. what classes to use for a custom crop ( not really keen to make one fresh)
View 7 RepliesIs there a way to dynamically change the path of the Bitmap on the Library? Using actionscript?
View 9 RepliesThe solution should be straight forward but I cannot find it, my problem it's that I'm reading a xml, and one of the properties inside the xml it's a Bitmap path(string), when I`m reading this xml I would like to convert this string to a Bitmap Obj so I can use through my MXMLs.
View 4 Repliesi have a child mc with a loadVars event that gets some text from a file and loads it into a text box.the parent mc is called about_uswhat i want to do is tell loadVars to look for a file of the same name as the parent clip (instead of hard-coding the name - so i can reuse it in other clips in the same project)this is what i have at the moment:// load datamyData.load("myFile.txt");
View 7 RepliesI'm trying to trace the path of an object by using setPixel on the object's position every frame in a BitmapData/Bitmap pairing. These pixels aren't showing up normally and I suspect I have a fundamental misunderstanding of the BitmapData class. Here's what I'm doing:
public var contrailBase:BitmapData;
public var contrail:Bitmap;
private var contrailColor:uint;[code].....
Using this code, the red pixels don't show up. If I initialize contrailBase to 0xFF000000 instead then I get a black screen on which the red pixels DO draw, but I need the bitmap to be transparent except for the contrail. What am I doing wrong?
When outputting links dynamically, I cannot determine the Y-Pos dynamically. It will work find if my links are single lined. link_txt.y = i*20;
this will only work if the links are Single Lined. assuming they are 15px for height + 5 for spacing.
As soon as they are 2 lines, they overlap. I've tried different methods but unable to figure it out.
So basically i have a bunch of movie clips which have instance names that i am pushing to an array and then that array is printed to a dynamic text field that displays the list of the movie clips. The issue is, i want this list to look presentable and since instance names cant take spaces only underscores then it looks so un-presentable
ActionScript Code:
import flash.text.TextField;
//Array to hold the target instances, the drop instances,

I have a movieclip that calls an array, but I want that array to be output on multiple lines in the movie. How do I break up an array in such a way that it is output with the equivalent of line breaks?
[Code].....
When the movieclip pulls in the chunks of that array it sticks them all on one line. Is it possible to include some element in the code above to split the elements of the array onto multiple lines when it's output? Is there an equivalent to perl's "/n" which prints a line break, for example? I'd prefer that option than having to create multiple arrays and reengineer the entire function.

for example, if an array is defined like this:

phrase = new Array();
thewords="this is line 1 text, this is line 2 text, but it's all going to be on the same line";
phrase=thewords.split(',');

here's what I have - a custom video player that pulls everything from an XML doc. In that XML doc, I have three sections that contain start, middle, and end times (in seconds) for the video. The goal is to track how many times the start, mid point, and end of the video are reached.
This all works, however I'm encountering a strange action. When I play the movie, I get output that the start point has been hit, then I get three (3) duplicate outputs of the mid point getting triggered, and finally six (6) reports of the end point hit.Strange. The numbers change slightly, (1,3,6 and 2,4,10, and 1,4,8) times for each of the start/mid/end triggers.
Here's the code that I'm using:
("prefs.prefOmnitureStart", "prefs.prefOmnitureMiddle", and "prefs.prefOmnitureEnd" are the numbers in seconds that are pulled from the xml. In my example, they're 2.0, 6.0, and 10.0)
Code:
myVideo.addEventListener(MetadataEvent.CUE_POINT, cp_listener);
function cp_listener(eventObject:MetadataEvent):void {
myVideo.addASCuePoint(prefs.prefOmnitureStart, "sendOmnitureStart");

I can only get the file name and that pretty useless for an upload to a server. I will be using php to ftp it to my server.
I want to get the path of the file (in which the script is run), with out the file name.
how to do that?
at present i have the following code:
Code:
var filename1=flash.documents[0].name;
fl.trace("this file name >>> "+filename1);
var filePath = flash.documents[0].path; // getting doc path
fl.trace("File path "+filePath);
and i get the following in output window
HTML Code:
this file name >>> testing2.fla
File path E:Flash JSFL est2 esting2.fla

C:>mxmlc demoABC.as
Loading configuration file C:sdkframeworksflex-config.xml
C:demoABC.as: Error: A file found in a source-path must have the same package structure '', as the definition's package, 'demo'.Where is wrong above command?
Not sure if this is right?

I would like to get the absolute path of my swf file from within Actionscript.[code]...
View 1 RepliesI am coding an AIR application.
I've got directly a path of a swf file (because it was stored in a xml file). Do yo know if it is possible to get the ByteArray from this file ?
I know that FileReference do that very well, but this class need a select event. But it isn't my case because I've allready got my path.
I'm using UILoaders to load different .swf files into the main .swf and am having a problem when I try to load a specific .swf file after a series of steps.I wanted to know if there was a way to see which is the current path that the application is in so that I can know if my relative paths are working or if I have to change them.I want to do something in the likes of this.path, or anything that works that way.
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to get a swf inside a swf to load xml data and I don't fully understand relative paths.I want to include all the necessary info.I have a main swf in my index.html page and a gallery.swf loaded into a container in the main swf, and I can't get the gallery.swf to load the xml data. See pic. I'm not sure if the path to XML file is wrong OR the paths to the image in the XML file are wrong.Here is the structure in the root:
root/index.html (contains main.swf)
root/flash/gallery.swf[code]....
I know the gallery swf IS loading into the main swf because for now I'm using the absolute path and I have typed "test" on the gallery stage and it shows up. (Once I get a grip on paths, I'll change the absolute path to a relative path, but for now, I need to reduce my variables for troubleshooting).I've think I've tried every path permutation for the load XML path inside the gallery swf:
ActionScript Code:
myXML.load("scripts/xml/gallery.xml");
myXML.load("./scripts/xml/gallery.xml");[code]....
I've also tried every permutation for the paths to the images, but unfortunately BOTH need to be right for the pics to show up!
Code:
<image image_small="gallery/thumbs/kirk_ross_01.jpg"
<image image_small="./gallery/thumbs/kirk_ross_01.jpg"[code].......
I have a swf that is in a different directory then the index. so I make sure that the xml has the proper relative path to the location of the index. which works fine for all the images that I load in.. simple enough right?but for some reason the NetStream seems to want to use the base url location as the location of the swf instead of the index.. to apply the relative url too..I have never seen this behavior before and was wondering if this is how its supposed to be..I already double checked my xml to make sure it was not doubling up the folder name..but basically the xml is like so..
<video src="foldername/videos/file.flv" />
but when i view it online. the browser is looking for the file here..
domain.com/content/foldername/foldername/videos/file.flv
