ActionScript 3.0 :: Pull Data From Sqlite To Custom Menu?
Oct 14, 2011
I'm trying to bring data from an sqlite database into a custom made menu. I have the menu working using an array with the code shown. But, now I would like the data to come from an sqlite database.
The code shown for the database, I have used for a previous job that pulled the data into a dataGrid. I now want that same data to put into my custom menu instead of a dataGrid. How would I change the second code to do this?
I think my main question is about the "watername_dg.addItem" in the second code below and how to change that to bring the data into my buttons.
ActionScript Code:
//////////////PULLING DATA FROM AN ARRAY TO BUILD MENU//////////////
var _menuArray:Array = new Array("Apples","Oranges","Pears","Grapes","Limes", "Carrots", "Peas", "Beans");
[Code].....

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.

Flash 8, I have some XML creating a few simple arrays. These pull some movie clips onto the stage with incremented names: product1, product2 and so on. Inside these clips I have some code that is supposed to pull data from the arrays and put that data into text fields.
[Code]...
Shouldn't this last output be the number 1? I want to use this number to call the correct node for each clip,

I'm trying to create a pull down menu. Not one that drops down when rolled over but one that drops down when clicked and stays down until an item is selected. Once an item is selected or the menu is clicked out of it retracks again.
My strategy is to create a movie clip for the initial menu that when clicked jumps to another movie clip where ther menu is extracted and houses movie clip buttons that hightlight when rolled over and when clicked redirect to another movie clip related to the button that was selected.
is this the proper way to do this? And second: can you offer some direction for the action script?

First off I am new to using Flex, but I have pieced this app together with help from online tutorials and information. Basically my app is like a directory of names, addresses and so forth, but I also have additional fields of "week" and "day". What I am trying to do is have a list that shows only the names of, for example Week 1 - Monday. Below is some of the code I am using to help you understand what I am trying to do.
<s:List dataProvider="{AddDoctorDatabase.doctors()}" labelField="name" change="onDoctorSelected(event)"
left="0" right="0" top="0" bottom="0"></s:List>

I have an sqlite db in an application and am stuck on how to pass the data that is retrieved from the db into multiple textboxes. I can get the first selection passed into the components just fine, but my problem comes in when I try to pass a second data selection into a different textbox while keeping the data from the previous selection the same in the first textbox.Basically, the user selects a recipe and that recipe is passed into textbox 1 Then another recipe is selected and that recipe is passed into textbox 2. *The recipes are selected from a different view, if that adds anything to the problem. After being selected, the view is returned to where the textboxes are.I'm not looking for someone to code this for me, but rather on how I would do it. I should be able to do that. =)My Text Components
<s:Group id="group1" x="412" y="156" width="200" height="206" contentBackgroundAlpha="1.0" >
<s:TextInput id="tText1" x="22" y="30" width="157" height="25" fontSize="12"
text="{data.kTitle}"/>

I am trying to get anytihng from my SQLite to render in Flex, and I can't figure out how to display any data, even text, in Flex. What am I doing wrong?
[Code]...
I've tried a number of different components, and I can't seem to get the data to bind properly (although this code finally doesn't have the dreaded "Data binding will not be able to detect assignments to... " message, or the other dreaded "Property undefined" message).

I have this little piece of code to retrieve data from a local SQLite database (to an AIR app):
import flash.filesystem.File;
import flash.data.SQLConnection;
import flash.data.SQLStatement;
[Code]....
It is only a "proof of concept" piece of code and it "lives" in the first frame of the timeline of the Flash IDE. What happens? When I compile my SWF (AIR for iPhone), I get this error:
SQLError: 'Error #3115: SQL Error.', details:'no such table: 'background'', operation:'execute', detailID:'2013'
I created a basic db with a Firefox extension (SQLiteManager). What can cause this error? The table exists!

I am currently designing a set of actionscript charts for my company's website. For the set of charts I have set up right now I'm reading all the data from FlashVars, but as you could guess that's not a very good format for charts...
I'd prefer to use a JSON array of values,
now my question is: Where should I go to start learning about reading from JSON is AS2? I'll hit the books, of course, but this forum is always good when I need to get some advice to dive right in to an urgent project

I am doing a project that consists of AS3 in flash an importing an external xml data that will populate dynamic data in text fields in my flash project. The xml is all ready set up (pre existing) data. The structure of the XML Code looks like this:
<GlobalDynamicData xmlns:xsi"[URL]">
<schema version 1.0.0>version 1</schemaversion>
<DynamicDataFields>
<DynamicDataField>
<DataField> AlertOn</DataField>
<DataValue>0</DataValue
[Code] .....
which works fine,
My question to everyone is How do tell flash to pull specific dynamic data if all the datafields are exactly the same... I would think all data fields that are named have to be diffrent so when you script the code you are telling flash to go to that data source and pull from that record. If you have the same naming convention how does flash know which one to pull from if they all have the same name..

I am currently scripting a Flash application at work which will pull data from an xml file (.jpg's and text) into template swf's created by our designers, for use in online product commercials, realty/property tours, etc. I am creating a loop which will pull data from the xml and load them with createEmptyMovieClip(). Here's the code:
Code:
_root.dynLoad = function() {
trace( "initializing dynLoad function..." );
for( _root.g = 1; _root.g <= _root.featLength; _root.g++ ) {
if( _root.g == 1 ) {
this.createEmptyMovieClip( "dynPic", this.getNextHighestDepth() );
[Code] .....
I am not the heaviest with actionscript and I can get the first two pictures to load, but after that the pics get loaded into the duplicated clip. I tried my hardest to get the else block to dynamically increment the "dynPicNew" ( ex. load it into "dynPicNew" + _root.g ), but I can't nail it! How can I get the duplicateMovieClip() to increment the load target dynamically?

my normal work day involves screen sharing with a programmer while we engineer the software.We are currently working on a site that involves flash .as3(created with flash CS3) talking with an .asmx web service (created in Visual Web Developer 2005) that talks to a sql (2008)database.When can push or pull data from the database successfully, but we are experiencing a 15 second delay if more than one request from the database is made at the same time. i.e. two customers login at the same time, or one customer logs in and another submits changes to their account.
The second request will not be instant until 15 seconds have elapsed In other words, if someone sends logs in and another person logs in 10 seconds later, the wait will be 5 seconds.Of course, the delay is cumulative...so if 3 people log in simultaneously, there is a 30 second wait. Gross.This only occurs when we are trying to access the database...flash and the web service seem to talk great together otherwise.

Anybody know how to create a custom context menu (right click menu) in Flash?
If it's not possible, wouldn't it be a good idea for Macromedia to put some kind of event or something in there?

Does anyone know of a way to keep a menu open after clicking one of its menu items? I have a custom menu (extended the menu object) it contains a bunch of check type menu items, the requirement I am trying to fulfill is to allow the user to click multiple menu items without the menu closing, and then have the menu close when it loses focus, is this possible? If it is can someone please explain how it can be done (pref. with a small example).

Is there a way to add custom fields to the built in browser context menu using Javascript?I know flash/actionscript can do this, how are they doing it? Example: right click onand see the custom context menu.Is this possible with pure javascript or do you have to use flash?Note, I'm looking for adding to the built in browser context menu, not using custom javascript popups to mimic them.

I have a Flex application, running with Flash Player, not AIR, that contains a Tree that I would like to put a custom context menu on.
Tried just doing <mx:Tree ... contextMenu="{MyClassWithStatic.menu}">, but that didn't do anything.
Went searching, and found this quote from some Adobe docs somewhere
In Flex or Flash Builder, only top-level components in the application can have context menus. For example, if a DataGrid control is a child of a TabNavigator or VBox container, the DataGrid control cannot have its own context menu.
so went upwards, trying each parent element until I reached my <Application>-element, which is consistent with what they wrote.
Tried making a Flex component, based on Group (the default) which contained my tree, and the context menu on the top-level element there, hoping it would work, but to no avail.
Is there any other way to manage this that I haven't found yet?
The code I use to create the menu:
var menuItems:Array = [];
var rename:ContextMenuItem = new ContextMenuItem("Rename");
rename.addEventListener(ContextMenuEvent.MENU_ITEM_SELECT,

I have set a custom context menu in a .swf, and I can see it normally when previewing it on flash (Test Movie).However, when I see it on my browser, I can't see the custom options (only the reduced context menu with settings and about macromedia...)On my first frame I have an actions layer with this (context + loader):
[AS]
root_cm = new ContextMenu();
root_cm.hideBuiltInItems();
root_cm.customItems.push(new ContextMenuItem("Add to Favourites", itemHandler1))
root_cm.customItems.push(new ContextMenuItem("send e-mail", itemHandler2));

Basically I have lot of text fields that are rendered dynamically, and I want the user to be able to right click on one and edit it.
Is it good practise to use the right-click bring up custom menu on a sprite. And is the method guaranteed to work accross all browsers? Do mac mice have right mouse click buttons?

And if not, what would be a good work around. Maybe bringing up a yahoo astra message box with the two options one for left mouse click, one for right click and edit text field?
