ActionScript 3.0 :: Program That Queries A Database For Options And Displays The Options In A Number Of ComboBoxes?
Aug 29, 2011
Im building a program that queries a database for options and displays the options in a number of comboBoxes. The comboBoxes are dynamically built and loaded via code and added to the stage. I would like to build the comboBoxes into a single movie clip (maybe not the correct wording) so I can use options like tweening and such to make it look better. The code is below.
package classFiles
{
import flash.display.MovieClip;
[code]....

How do professional programmers deal with preferences for their application?when there are options to be chosen in an application, does the program is full of "if" to detect what option has been chosen?Let's say that there is a call to 30 functions in the program.But the user has got to choose between an option A or B that would modify the way those 30 functions work.Would you have to write 60 functions and then place an "if" condition each time to go to the needed one...
Or would it be possible to write at run time (after the program has read the preferences) the corresponding functions? So that it wouldn't be necessary to check conditions each time?The goal being to gain total speed in critical functions preventing their run to be slowed down by condition requests.

I have a project that sends queries to a database and receives XML formatted data:
Markets_xml = new XML();
Markets_xml.onLoad = readMarketsXML;
Markets_xml.load("
http://208.62.199.74/ws_ckp_data/Service.asmx/GetMarkets?MarketName=Al l&MarketTypes=Industrial");
Markets_xml.ignoreWhite = true;
This works fine when I test the movie from Flash (on my local machine) and if I type the query string directly into my browser, I get the correctly formatted information. The problem arises when I post the swf to my server and test. From my server, I get nothing The swf files and the data are on different servers. Is this the problem? What is a good quick solution.

i'm trying to convert mpg videos to flv videos. i'm using adobe cs3 flv converter as well as quicktime pro. both yield a flv with no audio.
i open the video in quicktime pro. it plays with sound. then i go up to FILE > EXPORT > MOVIE TO FLASH VIDEO (FLV) click on OPTIONS then click on AUDIO. it's all grey. no audio options.
i am aware of this problem/solution regarding flv's stopping short but i'm not even get audio options. "It has everything to do with sound sample rate! You need to export your movies that are currently using 22.050 kHz and to a new quicktime movie with a 44.100 kHz sample rate. THEN export as a .flv with whatever frame rate and .mp3 compression rate you need. This should fix the problem!"

I have a game were there are a lot of little guys moving around on the screen independently of each other and I have a function for zooming in and zooming out. I want the guys to look good when I zoom in but not lag when I zoom out and show a lot of them. What I'm thinking of doing is just making different levels of detail that it uses for the guys at different zoom distances.I don't know what makes vector graphics lag. Is it the number of shapes it has to redraw every time something moves? Or is it just determined by the number of objects on the screen at a time regardless of detail? I want to know if it would make a big difference in lag before I go redraw everything because it would be a big task and I don't want it to be for nothing.

I am using Flash 8 by the way. Anyways what I am doing is making a menu with different options. I need the user to click on various buttons from the menu and then after those buttons are clicked, an animation needs to play and then return to the original menu. I have got the mouse to follow my custom cursor and made the general outline of the menu, but no buttons so far.

I have 3 menus, each with 4 different options (clickable buttons). Depending on what you selected in each of the three menus you get a specific resulting image.

On my website: www.iferanart.com under the animations tab I have several animations that I embeded using Flash's premade option: "SkinOverPlay SeekStop.swf" player. The only change made to it was the color.My problem is that, as you can see when you go to the website and click on an animation, there are no play options at all.I have no idea what to do to fix this because when I publish preview they are there...but once I loaded the website to the server..nothing. The website is coded in AS3, built with Flash CS4.

I am having a problem with CS3 Flash and the toolbar on the left. Certain tools have options and those options are not showing up. Yes, I went to Customize Tools panel and checked and those options are listed to the right of each tool that should have them (Example: Rectangle tool: oval tool, polystar tool , etc) and even hit reset to default and still those options do not show up on the actual toolbar. I made a graphic thinking that would make them show up and no it didn't.
It seems to be a problem for each tool that has a options and they are
1. Free Transform Tool,
2. Pen tool and
3. Rectangle tool.

I have a gallery slide that is going to be greater than 4000px in length. I have a slide movie instance that I script to slide from right to left.
This method require two slides to make them appear to loop seamlessly. So that is 8000px wide in total. I remember that Flash can only slide movie instance 3000px wide.
What other options do I have to allow for this type of slide length. Inside the slide movie instance, it contains all my images and text that are positioned differently from each other.

what my practical options are for publishing interactive 3D models on the web? I would think either Flash or Silverlight would be the way to go, but even if this is the case, perhaps there are some frameworks already available based on theseDetails:Fairly simple modelsMust support 'bones' and joints etc.Some level of user interaction requiredSome animation required.

Posted this to the Adobe Support forum too, but so far, no luck there. My Flash CS4 installation on one computer is not giving me the auto complete choices it should for AS3. When I open an FLA for AS3, the ActionScript panel gives me the correct auto complete options for AS3.When I create a new AS file, link it to an AS3 FLA file, the auto complete options in the AS file are AS2 related and I cannot figure out why it's doing this or how to get my AS3 options back.I have some screen shots posted there to show what's happening.

I am working on a Color class.allow people to use whatever formats for both input and output they like.Even though the Color class only has one single value ever stored (a hexadecimal RGB value), I allow users to make a color based on any type of input, so my "static constructors" look like this, and take up a lot of room:
Code:
//This isn't really how they look, but a reenactment. ;)
public static function fromRGB(r:uint, g:uint, b:uint):Color
{ return new Color(Color.RGBtoHEX(r, g, b)); }
[code]....
... etc ... etc ... etc ... Is there any logical and organized way of handling so many "in/out" options? Or perhaps some other way I can set up the class? I have been trying to think this through without success, and I need someone else's eyes. Perhaps because it is 3:30AM...

I wanted to know if there's a way to add more options to a for loop regarding arrays. Say the current position in the loop is 1 (thats where my block is) then i want it to check the array if current position -1, +1,-3,+3. if any of these are null (thus, empty spot.) Because the block moves across a board i need the script to be adaptable.

I'm having some trouble with drop down menus. I've got them set up with onrollover to display the menu options and use both rollout & dragout to deactivate (which prevents the menu from sticking by accidentally "dragging" off the area).The menu displays just fine, and I want the background of the options to highlight (by switching color) when the mouse moves over it or presses on it. Unfortunately, nothing happens.I used this as my base color switch

function paint(mc, brush){ var fincolor = brush;myColor = new Color(mc);myColor.setRGB(fincolor);}[code]..........

I have a bunch of menus that will over lap each other at different times, and they have buttons in them you can click for commands. But when I have menu B on top of menu A, like cards, I don't want the onPress commands used in menu B reacting with buttons on the menu A beneath. Normally I would just move the menus, but in this case, they need to be laid out like cards.

I would like to know my options for opening the movie. What we would like is to have a link at the bottom of the page, and when clicked, the movie opens. We prefer not to simply use the html file which may be easier for what we want. Is it possible to open the movie from an HTML link? I'm guessing no.

What parameters are required to set an Audio file to Streaming? I have imported both an mp3 file and a WAV file into the library. clicking on a keyframe, I drag either th emp3 or WAV file onto the stage. The audio file can be seen on the timeline. If I set the sync to Event, both of the audio file will play no problem.
If I set eithe of the audio files to Stream, nothing happens, no audio at all. Can I only use streaming audio files another way? I cannot find an option to link ot an external audio file as you can do with video so how do i successfully get an audio file to stream?

All i see is Color Effect, Display, and Component Parameters. So i tried going to text and then to embed fonts but I still get an error saying i need to embed my fonts. Where can I set the fonts for text boxes to use? Is there something wrong with my Flash Professional or what?

I want my flash website to be viewable on iPhones but Apple does not support Flash websites on iPhones. I have heard of people just making a html version of the website or using Smoke, but I heard iPhone users do not really want to download a third party plugin to view Flash content on their iPhones.
Are there any other options that do not require you to redevelop the Flash website, like into HTML versions for example and if developing into HTML is the only option, how should you build the HTML version of the Flash website?

I have an AIR application running on a Mac and I want to have the behavior of hiding the window when someone "closes" the app (e.g. hits the red "x" button or cmd-w). However, if someone hits cmd-q or chooses "Quit" from the dock context menu or top level menu, I want the app to actually close.I can preventDefault on the "closing" event sent by the application, however, this causes all "close" methods to just hide the window. The only way for someone to close the application at that point is ForceQuit (or through a separate interface I provide, like a context menu option on the dock icon).
I have also tried capturing the cmd-q keyDown event manually, but it doesn't get sent. Also, this wouldn'tor the case when people try to quit the app using the menu options.Furthermore, if I preventDefault on the closing method, it causes my application to cancel a shut down process immediately (which is a terrible user experience).Is there a way to detect different methods of closing an AIR application? I want to be able to tell the difference between these closing methods and react to the appropriately.

(working in AS2.0 due to player limitations)
In my flash application I draw in data from an XML. This data is for example 6 lines long in 1 language, but could be 20 in a different language. However the textbox on the screen can only populate 10 lines of text and I'd like to give the option to users to press the arrows to go to the next page (if there is a next page).What are my options to get this 'page'-effect?

I have 2 swfs, one image loader which I built a while ago and will eventually update to AS3 and a newer swf I built in AS3. I want to be able to 'pull' a variable from the AS2 swf when a button on the AS3 swf is pressed. How might i be able to do this. LocalConnection wont do it I dont think - i cant load the AS2 swf into the AS3 swf and obviously cant do the reverse though this would be the way to do it if it were possible. So when a button in the AS3 swf is pressed I want to call the AS2 swf and return a variable from the AS2 swf (the filename of the current image). Would both swfs sharing ExternalInterface work?

Here is my xml structure:
<question>
<q1> Who coined the term "Clinical Psychology"¯? </q1>
<answer> Lightner Witmer </answer>
<option1> Stanley Hall </option1>
<option2> Lightner Witmer </option2>
<option3> Henry P. David </option3>
</question>
I can loop through fine and pick out the questions and answers, then throw them into separate arrays. The problem I'm having is looping and pulling the options into a multidimensional array like such:
var one:Array = new Array( 3 );
one[0] = ["Stanley Hall", "Lightner Witmer", "Henry P. David"];
one[1] = ["Stanley Hall", "Lightner Witmer", "Henry P. David"];
one[2] = ["Stanley Hall", "Lightner Witmer", "Henry P. David"];
