ActionScript 3.0 :: Populate The Array With The Information Contained In The Xml File?
Jun 8, 2010
I am currently working on an educational project. After submitting for review, the clients have requested I make an array which was hard coded in the as file, to read from xml. The problem I am having is that I do not know how to populate the array with the information contained in the xml file.
hard coded in the as file
wordList = ("Paper,Plastic,Reduce,Retrieve,Litter,Trash,Glass,Recycle").split(",");
I am wantying to replace the word lists that are included with the information in the xml file so as to allow different users to create different words for the list without having to edit anything othere than the xml file.

I'm trying to populate an array with info loaded in from an xml file. I've got the xml loading fine and I can trace everything but cannot seem to access the info outside of the function...here's my code:
Code:
myXML.onLoad = function(success) {
if (success) {
populateNav(myXML);
} else {
[Code]...
My trace inside of the populateNav function works great...all the info is there and image_path returns all of my...image paths. So my XML is fine...what I can't seem to do is pass that info outside of the populateNav function. My imageholder trace returns undefined. I think it's got something to do with the fact that the imageholder trace is being performed before the xml is fully loaded...not sure what to do about that though.

I'm loading 6 variables from a text file to populate an array, then using setInterval to populate two textfields every 5 seconds. IE7 gives me the "A script in this file is causing Flash Player 10 to run slowly do you want to abort this script?" It runs fine locally, but when I upload it, it won't work. Files are in the same folder in each case. Here is the entire script.

have this code that's supposed to return the an array that holds the values that were contained within an XML node.
[Code]...
for some reason, the code won't return anything. the output just says "undefined". Would a good workaround consist of putting the return function within a setInterval method?

I need to pass a variable value contained within a MovieClip to my class file. The MovieClip is my preloader, to which my code will show that upon the initial launch of the SWF. Until the variable is sent, my code assumes the preloader is still running and therefore will not progress. Originally, it was working when I had my class file extend MovieClip and then used this code in the preloader MC:

I'm currently working on a project where I have a user defined list of urls which is saved in a local SO. When the movie is loaded the ComboBox is populated with the values from the SO (Stored as array inside SO).I want to give users the option to remove items from this list. So far I have managed to remove the selected item from the combo box, clear out the SO and loop the remaining ComboBox items, but, when I try and load these item into an array to parse back to the SO, the array is created and creates the correct amount of elements, but, each element is populated with only the data from the 0 index item of the ComboBox.My code so far: (This sits inside a button component and is invoked onClick)
_root.ComboBox.removeItemAt(_root.ComboBox.selecte dIndex);
_root.ComboBox.selectedIndex = 0;
_root.local_data.clear(); [code].......

I've got an array that looks like this, iterating through:
(languageArray[i].languageName); //e.g. "French"
(languageArray[i].languageCode); //e.g. "fre"
I'm trying to populate a fl.controls.ComboBox dataProvider with this array. What I want to do is set the labelfield, as shown in the documentation:
[Code]...
In other words I want the name to be displayed, and the 'data' to be the code, which will be called when I click on the item. But the labelField is not the same as "French". How do I create the two fields in the array such that I can designate the first as labelField and the second as data?

i have a big issue in AS2. I would like to populate an array on mouse click and show immediately this element on the stage.
It's possible to make something like this. Every click on a specific object on the stage, loads into the array a library movieclip. If the array is not empty I would like to show each movieclip in a column each one below the other.

Currently I am trying to create a mini map which i can populate with the contents of an array.I can make any size grid with little to no trouble in AS3, for arguments sake I have been trying to get a 4x4 Grid populated.I can even make listeners inside the new class but i cannot figure out a way to give each new MiniMap tile a unique identifier like i would of in AS2 and then assign the current frame to play.I have looked around and tried a few tutorials with no success.I have been using this to create the tiles (inside two for loops to make the grid)
Code:
var MiniMap:MiniMapTile = new MiniMapTile();
addChild(MiniMap);
Here is how i did it in AS2 for anyone Interested.
Code:
_root.MapTile.duplicateMovieClip("Tile" add i, i);
Edit: I have done it the long way :/ made 12 separate objects. Incredibly convoluted.

However, I can't figure outhow to get the array to display in the dynamic text box.I have created a dynamic text box in flash with nothing inthe 'instance name' box and 'events' in the var box.

I am looking for a class that functions similar to JPEGEncoder from as3corlib, but instead of encoding a JPEG, I want to take a dynamic drawing the user has made (with animation) and output an SWF file that the user can download and playback on his/her computer.I understand how to create an SWF and store user variables that control the playback, but I want to make it all contained in a single SWF file.

I have a detailed results page to which I want to post all the questions, answers, and whether the user answered correctly or incorrectly. All this information is stored in a multidimensional array and its successfully showing the results via the trace method.
My question is, what is the syntax for populating a dynamic text field with these results? Do I just write out one long line of AS with the newline command to separate the data? How would I go about applying bold to certain parts of the stored data that I will be showing?
Here is current code for my detailed results page:
function showResults(){
trace("Now showing results");
for(var i:Number = 0; i < NumberOfChallenges; i++){ //This calls the length of the original array (not the spliced copy)

I have a Flash site I am developing that feeds in XML into various arrays and populates dynamic movie clips and text fields. I am having trouble making a for loop that works with my movieclips and text fields. I am probably only missing one step and if I can figure it out I will cut my lines of code about 10X. I have attached the fla and image files in a zip file.

I've got an array, events, where I store objectdata, such asevents.id (String), events.action (String) and events.time (Number).In a for-loop, I want to go through the array and for each object I want to connect a Timer which runs the function "takeIt" which runs the public function "newEvent". The object in the array, events.id contains information about the object which is running newEvent, and in the array, events.action there are alse information which action to use. The events[i].time contains information about the timer delay which seems to work.How should I wite this to make it work?
Code:
for (var i:int = 0; i < events.length; i++) {
function takeIt(e:TimerEvent) {

I trying to populate a combobox from a .php file and return the values of the selection. I have the .php set up to where it outputs something like
&artists=anartist,anartist2,anartist3, etc..they have names..
I already have the combobox set up to where it displays
anartist
anartist2
anartist3
after you click the dropdown arrow..How would I get it to return a the numerical value for the artist (ex: anartist would be "0" since it is first in the list) and put it into a variable so that when it is selected it could be placed into an eval() function to create a variable such as "albumcover0" to be loaded through a function. I have been reading tutorials for hours to no avail. I want a single function to produce the number from the selected artist and place it into a variable, then go through all of the loadImage(for the "album image") etc functions..they will be functions that I have made already previously and call all of them with the number in the called fuctions (ex: loadImage(0)) where "0" is the number derived from the variable out of the combo box. Ive tried tons of tutorials, I think that it has something to do with me using flash mx 2004, and as2 turned on.
