ActionScript 3.0 :: Put To Replace Trace(xmlData); With Code That Will Allow The XML Components Be Arranged In Textfields
Jan 2, 2011
So here is how i load my xml:
[Code]...
And it works. My question is what code to put to replace trace(xmlData); with code that will allow me the XML components be arranged in textfields. Here is how my XML is constructed:
[Code]...
What code to put in AS so when i start naming my textfields tf1,tf2,tf3,tf4 each line from the XML to go to its text field (like first line from the XML goes to tf1, second line to tf2 etc.)
I am not sure even what to call this but if I have set a text field value and other various values with functions in AS3 to where I can trace the values in the output panel. How do I then capture that data to be sent to fields in a shopping cart? Make sense?
how i can use actionscript component code in mmxl components,as in actionscript components we use classes ,but in mmxl component we can not use classes function, so how i can use actionscript component code in mmxl component
[Code]...
but i cant use this code in mmxl components how i can use public class DialogTitle extends HBox implements IBindingClient in mmxl component code,what are the way to use it,sorry i am newbie if it is silly question
I am trying to replace some code which loaded an external image and triggered and function once completed with code that uses and embedded image. The relevant code looks like this.
Code:
[Embed(source='globe.png')] public function Globe() { var imageLoader:Loader = new Loader();
[code]....
The commented out section is where it used to take the loaded image and apply it to a texturemap.I need to replace the lines of code in the first function with something that calls the second function correctly.
I have tried using function imageLoadComplete (e:Event = null)and calling it with imageLoadComplete(); in the first function but although it compile and runs without error, the program does not work properly. I suspect this is to do with the dispatchEvent(); line which I do not understand.
my website which involves private messages.The page in question has 4 tabs on it, one of the tabs called inbox displays a table of all the messages received, the subject of each message has a link which can go to another page displaying the message in greater detail. However what i want is for the content in the inbox tab to be replaced by the code for displaying the message in more detail.Here is the code for the inbox table
We can easily alert anything in java script. Is it possible to get this or similar alert in ActionScript? I have below test Class in Action Script. Trace does same as console.log() in java script. Is it possible to display messages in action script ?
[Code]...
Above code alerts the "test" similar to javascript. This is a Flash Window that shows the message. But How to integrate similar code in my Class. i.e. How to do repalce trace ("something") with this Flash Alert window ?
I have a flash project that requires a swf file with over 300 textfields i.e a datasheet like in excel.i use actionscript 3 to dynamically add them at runtime.However I have a function calculate() that references them at compile time.So i think the problem is the caluclate() cannot find the textfields because they are still not added to the stage.How can i create them dynamically and after that add a function caluclate that will surely find the textfields?
Here is a code example of my work:
//add 50 textInput components for (var intr:Number=1; intr<=50; intr++) { var intTextField:TextInput=new TextInput();
Any way to search for a code snippet throughout all symbols and frames and mass-replace?Movie Explorer lets you copy all the actions showing to the clipboard but you can't replace.
I have converted Actionscript to Javascript. There are 5 functions with the same code.Everything must become a string in order to replace the code from the function1().
In Actioncript, we can use this[my_string] to convert string back to byteArray or something like that Javascript must surely have a method to convert string back to code right.
I'm currently creating an app which allows users to select blocks of text from a List and dynamically create a TextField on the stage.I'm calculating the height of the TextField and positioning the next TextField beneath.I'm also recording the total heights of the TextFields so that I know when the total height exceeds the available height, at which point I move the x position and reset to y position to zero.
When the next TextField will exceed the available height I want to split it into two, so I'm calculating the remaining height, making the TextField.height into the remaining height.when I try to get the position of the last visible line.If I have the TextFieldAutoSize as LEFT, then I can dynamically generate the heights of the TextFields.For the final TextField in the column I need to set TextFieldAutoSize to NONE so I can change the height of the TextField. i.e. I don't want it to autosize.However, bottomScrollV returns the total number of lines, not the last visible line.
I can create the required behaviour in a separate doc but when I copy the code into the loop it fails.Here is the code.
Code: public function buildTextFields() { 3 columns (I'm calling them TextBlocks) // so the first is 0;[code]....
For example, I've created in Flash CS a movie clip CampfireMC, which contains child movie clip:m_fire:FireMCFireMC is an animation of flameCampfireMC controls playback of m_fire, for example, last frame of CampfireMC uses action code:m_fire.gotoAndStop(m_fire.totalFrames)And the question is how to replace (not delete/add, as m_fire.gotoAndStop(m_fire.totalFrames)will not work in this case) FireMC to another animation FireMC2?I've tried the following trick, but it doesn't work
var campfire:CampfireMC = new CampfireMC(); campfire.m_fire = new FireMC2(); campfire.gotoAndPlay(0)
I've always just assumed that all trace statements in your code do not get published into your final SWF.... but then i saw "Omit Trace Actions" in the Publish menu... So, my question is this... If i do not select the "Omit Trace Actions" in the publish menu, will :
1.) My SWF filesize be bigger? 2.) My SWF run slightly slower on my website? (because it is still tracing out the statements)
In Flash/Flex, is it possible to capture the result of 'trace' in code?
So, for example, if one part of the code calls trace("foo"), I'd like to automatically capture the string "foo" and pass it to some other function.
Edit: I'm not interested in trying to use trace instead of a proper logging framework... I want to write a plugin for FlexUnit, so when a test fails it can say something like: "Test blah failed. Here is the output:
Edit 2: I only want to capture the results of trace. Or, in other words, even though my code uses a proper logging framework, I want to handle gracefully code that's still using trace for logging.
I'm editing a flash file for a client on a site that was not built by me, and no one at my company works with actionscript so this is my last resort. The client has a simple consultation form of which he wants to add three checkbox components to it. I have no problem adding the components, but can't figure out for the life of me what code I need to add in the actions panel to have the information (selected by the person filling out the form) make it's way to the corresponding email on the clients end.
This is what's there for code right now on the submit button:
Actionscript Code: on (release) {// Now import the variables we// need to send in this movie clipName = _parent.t01.textEmail = _parent.t03.textPhone_Number =_parent.t02.textAddress = _parent.t04.textComments = _parent.t05.text;subject = "Wildwood Consultation
[code]...
Also if you want to see the site it's wildwoodwaterscapes .com - you have to go to 'custom installations" and then find the consultation form down the right side nav.Like I said there will be three checkboxes for three different consultations.
I have the following code with which I am creating a grid.what I need to do is, either create the grid in a random order at the beginning, or 'shuffle' the grid once it has been created.. meaning each time I load the page the order is changed..
for (var i:uint = 0; i< boxNum; i++) { var animatedButton = new AnimatedButton(); animatedButton.x = animatedButton.width * (i % cols); animatedButton.y = animatedButton.height * int(i / cols); grid.addChild(animatedButton).name = "m" + (i + 1); }
Flash components (such as CheckBox, ComboBox, ScrollPanel and the like) are tremendously buggy.As an average, for every hour of normal coding with ActionScript, I spend 3 extra hours designing workarounds, tweaks and hacks to fix unexpected behaviors due to bugs in the components (when I don't use components, it is just 1 hour of extra work designing workaround,tweaks and hacks to fix unexpected behavior due to bugs in the flash player and/or AIR runtime for every hour of normal work).As far as I know the components(runtime) behavior is entirely coded in ActionScript, and searching my hard disk I've found what seem to be the source code in places such as
C:Program Files (x86)AdobeAdobe Flash CS5CommonConfigurationComponent SourceActionScript 3.0.For example, source code for the classes belonging to the fl.controls package appears to be located at
So I thought I may have a look at that source code and see if I could be able to find the source of some particular issue and maybe even correct it.I know the risks.But after modifying,for example,ComboBox.as in the abovementioned folder, simply adding some dummy trace()s just to see if it worked, it doesn't seem to work. I created a fla file, placed a ComboBox and tested it, but I cannot see the trace printout I added. I did "delete ASO files" but nothing changed.So how do I tell Flash to recompile the components?
I'm trying to build a set of menu items arranged vertically, and to be able to change their scale and position according to the current item selected, giving it some sort of depth effect. found a little bit about scaling menus, and used a script(nothing explained much, just cut and paste) that changes alpha an size of the menu items. I managed to add a swapDepths to bring to front the current item. I need now to figure out how to make the first item full size/alpha on load, move the items to make it look like they're rotating backwards, and get them to stay on their states when one of them is pressed (that is, one at full size/alpha and the others faded and smaller).The test file i'm working on can be downloaded from here, it's in FMX format.
how to trace the elements in my code since my variables are populated dynamically. I have tried to use trace(cartOrder[0]); but when I do I just get the output [object movieclip]. I want it to give me the name of the handbag. My code is
var cartOrder:Array = []; Code: var cartOrder:Array = [];
In Flash, if i create a custom Movieclip, and compile it to a SWC, i can use it in .fla files (by linking to the .swc)..
[Code]...
All the arrangement of graphics on the custom movieClip's layers is preserved. If i subclass UIComponent and compile to a swc, I can use the custom Class in my .fla file, but the new instance doesn't seem to construct the children arranged on the layers.
I know that the correct way to make a custom component is to have the two frames, first to specify bounding box, second frame for assets, and that the first graphic in frame 1 is removed at runtime. But i'm not really trying to make a reusable component - i just want to use the UIComponent class (It seems to have some nice extensions to Sprite). As i really want some hand-positioned layers inside the component i figured i could have the bounding box as the first element on frame 1 (knowing that it would be removed), but any other items i put on frame 1 would be preserved - buttons, images, lines, etc.
I have an XML document that is a response pulling person records from a data base query. The XML format is <root><row> .....data fields with tags </row><row> data fields with tags </row> ........ for the number of records returned. </root>. I want to split up the answer into an array of records, with each record being split up into an array of fieldsI can get to the first record with this:
var people = new Array(); var person = new Array(); var i = 0;
There are no output errors, or compiler errors, yet when I click on one of the buttons, the movie does nothing - it certainly does not gotoAndStop on frame 62, 63, or 64 as I am asking it too. Before this code, there are no other actions at all in the movie - just a simple fade in image.. I have now tried tracing (the objects below), within the click handler curly braces (showData); 'xmlData' produces nothing in the Output 'xmlFrame' produces '0' on each click in the Output window.
Tracing both the above outside of the showData function curly braces produces; 1120: Access of undefined property of xmlFrame, or xmlData. Tracing the nameBtn[i] produces '[object SimpleButton]' in the Output Window.
I'm having some real trouble getting .replace to actually replace something. Here's my code...
[Code]...
I can trace both newFiles[i] and keywords[i][whatever], but the replace doesn't replace anything. The regex is valid as well. I'm using regexr to test it, and it works perfectly there... but will not for me and I don't know why.
Recently I found out that event experienced flash developers do not know that it is possible to get "trace" content of flash movies outside of Flash IDE. This was kind of a surprise for me because I was using flash tracer for years already and I know what a pain it is when your flash application works fine in IDE and then fails fo load in browser.Are you still reading trace statements of your flash movies and applications from Flash IDE? Then this tool is for you.http:[url]....
It allows you to read all the "trace" statements of SWF files without adding any extra code! It works in Firefox, IE, Chrome, Safari, Flash IDE, Adobe AIR. Vizzy runs out-of-the-box and configures your environment for you to start debugging your flash applications immediately (automatic mm.cfg file creation, determining location, debug flash player detection, etc.)More features
* Allows you to watch trace outside of Flash IDE
* Allows you to see trace in all browsers like Internet Explorer,Firefox, Safari, Chrome, Opera and others * Allows you to see trace in AIR applications
* Cross-platform (Windows, Mac, Linux) * Customize font and font size * Automatically creates mm.cfg file * Automatically detects flashlog.txt file location * Comma separated filtering * Allows to set max limit of bytes loaded from the end of flashlog.txt * and much more...
