do I need to do anything different in parsing MRSS code vs. a normal XML file? It looks like it is different and I need to get something working soon.
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<rss version="2.0" xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" xmlns:bc="http://www.brightcove.tv/link" [code]....
I'm building a GUI for a karaoke system which uses Flash IDE.
Im not doing the OOP method, if you ask me why, its becoz I code slower with OOP and I need this urgently.
Anyway, I had only created 3 scenes with several simple MovieClips in it and some png files as button icons.
When I try to publish it and run, i noticed it will just freeze my Flash IDE and I've checked the CPU Usage in TaskMgr, it shows over 50% usage.
The filesize for this FLA is just 992KB, so you can probably tell that it doesnt have much bitmap in it.
I am hoping someone in this forum could show me some light as I've already struggle for the past 12 hours with no luck at all.
I'm making a site in dreamweaver, with a flash menu. on that flash menu I have buttons that load a external text file and applies CSS to it before showing it. All this is well, BUT, the site is in Norwegian, and some of the letters that is typical of the Norwegian alphabet won't show,( it's just boxes)and some of the nearby letters dissapear to.
View 3 RepliesIt will basically walk you through the windows to perform a typical setup, with some branching off for special cases. Essentially a main series of screen shots with text that you can scroll through using arrows, with links off to other screen shots or sequences as need. My boss wants it to be "hip and flashy", so wants me to look into Flash. But is that the best tool to use for this ? In all the Flash tutorials I have been watching I haven't seen anything that looks like that kind of application.
View 1 RepliesI've been doing a number of pretty basic flash banner ads at the typical advertising size (728x90, 300x250, etc.) but the client wants to throw in some video for this upcoming batch. I've already been given the .flv movie file. It's about a minute long at 3 mb, but I'm only going to use about 4 seconds of it. My question is what is the routine/typical route to take when adding video to banners but also keeping under the file size limitations (around 37k)? I did some brief research and read about progressive downloading but wasn't sure what the typical direction was when delivering files like this to the vendors.
View 2 RepliesI am trying to preload an mp3 file dynamically while showing the typical 'percentage loaded' in a dynamic text box. However for some reason, the percentage just doesn't count up - it freezes on 100% even though the mp3 file is still loading. I have included the code that I'm using below. Also, does anyone know what would be the best way to adjust this code so that I could preload multiple mp3 files at the same time or one after another?

Meaning specifically, what steps do you go through when creating a new application using these tools?
View 1 RepliesRecently a client of mine decides he wanted rounded edges for his page vs. the typical square edges. This was after the initial design and at the point where it is almost complete.I told the client that in order to do this we would have to go to a full Flash web page meaning a full browser Flash page (everything is already flash).Now I told him that we could do this but because it was a new design and as you know that there is much involved in doing something like this i.e. all the paths will have to be changed because it will have to reside inside a mc etc.if there is an actual way to make the stage rounded only for future knowledge.I know I can make a round edge square or rectangle but it still has square edges at outer edge of the stage.
View 5 RepliesI have a couple of questions that I hope someone can answer. I have this ActionScript that reads the XML file into the flash movie. The poblem is this: The XML is in this format:
<listitem name="TEST" url="rtmp://000.000.000.000/">
<stream len="-1" name="Test" start="0"/>
<group name="Testing"/>

I want to get id from this [URL] get this id in as3 and use this id in xml and show the message in text field.
[Code]...
This is my first day to try and use XML to display dynamic text in Flash. My skillset is weak with AS3 and Flash, but I found some tutorials online and I have managed to successfully display the first record in mytest.swf. However I also seem to have all records displaying in each dynamic text box as well. My loop isn't stopping after each record. It's reading everything. And dumping the results into each text field.
I need to only display each record individually. Once I accomplish that, I will need to include some form of navigation. Lets say buttons that perform a NEXT, PREVIOUS, LAST, FIRST type function. Then lastly, I'll need to include some type of search navigation option by item number. I assume that I'd have to have a second screen that links to my primary results screen with an input form for the item number.

I am attempting to parse some weather information from the Yahoo weather RSS feed.This is a typical XML node;
<description>Yahoo! Weather for Palm Springs, CA</description>
I used the typical XML parsing code in as2;
var text1 = this.firstChild.childNodes[0].childNodes[1].firstChild.nodeValue;
txt1.text = text1;
I was doing pretty good until I reached a node that was formatted thus;
<yweather:forecast day="Mon" date="28 Sep 2009" low="74" high="103" text="Sunny" code="32" />
This text traced a value of undefined.I have tried to research this and so far all I have been able to find out, is that this is a XML namespace and is very easily handled in as3. Unfortunately I have to use as2.How do I parse out this information into a dyamic text fields?

I have an xml file and im putting this xml file in an XML object
var receivedXML:XML
In some function, I have:
var xmlList:XMLList = new XMLList();
xmlList = receivedXML.some.attributes.here;
object.functionDoStuff = xmlList;
The function functionDoStuff takes xmlList as its argument:
function functionDoStuff(xmlList:XMLList) {}
When does receivedXML get parsed, is it when we assign it to xmlList, or is it when it gets used in the next instruction by the function functionDoStuff?
If I use the following XML it does not output anything. Please help me to find what is the issue.

i've been using the gotoandlearn.com mp3player when wanting to provide music in flash, the other day i decided to rewrite into a class. my textfield returns "undefined", which is frustrating because i know the nodes are being parsed into the loadXML(); method. the problem i'm having seems to be in the playSong() method, the sa Array hasn't retained the information that had been parsed into it when the loadXML(); method is initialized.below is the class i'm working with;ve been trying to figure it out for a couple of days now, this is a last resort.......
class actionscript.mp3Player extends MovieClip {
public var s:Sound;// Setup sound object
public var sa:Array;// Array of songs

I'm trying to find a way to parse out some numbers from a potential string. Basically, I'm making a financial-based calculator, and the user could input something like

The for each loop wont iterate for some reason, but the for loop will, then again, it always crashes me with:

I'm having a little problem storing something like this
"this is a new line"
into a string value from an xml file but then when i want to go apply it to a dynamic text box it loses the new line character and actually displays
"this is a new line"
instead of
"this is a new line"
Ran into some problems when a client asked me to use the xml that is created from an admin where the user can format the text as she or he wants it. With bold, italic, insert link and so on. Doing all that in a frame in the browser that is. As you would guess from a proper admin tool more or less.

I'm pulling some events out of a MySQL db, parsing to an XML file, and having flash pull that in. All works fine, but I'm encountering an XML tag, and I'm not 100% sure why. I searched but the keywords are so vague I didn't find anything of value.
[Code]....
So with one event, it works fine. With more than one, I get in the info.eventNameTxt textfield something like <name>Christmas Afterbash</name>. how to circumvent this? I haven't quite been able to wrap my head 100% around the E4X stuff.
