I use flex and php to retrieve information from my sql database. What i have been doing is formatting the result from the database query into xml and then putting the result into an arraycollection. It all works fine except one of my database fields contains a lot of text that website users enter and as xml doesn't like tags like <> so I leave it un formatted but I would like to format it. Would I be better using flashvars or text than xml? Or is there another way?
View 3 RepliesI am trying to retrieve some information back from my LMS and into variables in Flash with AS3. I used to be able to do this without any problems in AS2, but can't seem to find a way to make this work in AS3. In AS2, publishing with the "Flash with SCORM 1.2 Tracking" option, I could call a line like the following:
fscommand("LMSGetValue", "cmi.core.student_name,_root.stuname");
This would grab the student name from the LMS and store it in Flash in the variable named stuname.
Any way to do this with AS3? I can set values back to the LMS no problem still through fscommand such as score or completion, I just can't get anything back from the LMS such as student name or lesson location.
I am currently using the latest verion of Adobe Flash Builder to create a Mobile Application. For the application one feature is to allow the users to bookmark content an this is done by storing the id of the object to be Bookmarked into an SQLite db on the device. This part has been done successfully and they are stored fine.
Now what I want to do is to pull back the bookmarked id's from the database and pass them to a WebService call which needs to be made to an External Database. When I retrieve the Bookmark id's from the local database they are contained within object, I now need to find a way to take the id's from the database objects in the ArrayCollection and store them in a new array that will be passed to the WebService, as the webservice is expecting an Array of Int's and not Objects. Below is the code I created to see if the object items are within the array list of objects:
private function loop():void
{
var index:int;

I'm building a Flash website with database information with php>mysql>xml>Flash mx 2004. I'm having some major problems!I need to retrieve information of different tables in mysql, and was worried about performance issues.The first query gets the whole model list...The second query will be performed after a model is clicked. Something like: select * from modelinfo where modelID=modelIDinFlash.
The third query is what I have a lot of trouble with! This has to run on the same time or immediatly after the second query. It reads the picture urls and id's from that particular model. I need the filenames for the picture viewer.But everytime I try this third query, the site becomes very slow and have problems displaying the model info.NOW I have a temporary solution: in the first table I have a field which states how much pics each model has, and this number Flash uses to build the nr buttons. But this is not a very solution since I want to keep everything dynamic. I also want to build a drag and drop function... something like a shopping cart. For that to work, every picture must have an unique ID.
how to retrieve information about size (in pixels) of loaded FLV file? Video object returns 2 pairs of parameters (width,height) which are useless because returns always parameters passed in constructor of Video() object. Another pair is (videoWidth,videoHeight) which is always (0,0). I gave up...
I need this information to scale proportionally video clip to size of area designed to display this video.
Using FDT, when I have a debug configuration with several operations in the launcher chain and the final launcher opens in Flash Player, how can I retrieve the build output from the console once the build is complete and Flash player is running?
It seems that once Flash Player has started the console clears to make way for the application's trace output, but I need to be able to look back over the events and build times for each item in my launch chain while Flash Player is running. Is there a setting I can enable to either log my build output to a file or to preserve it in the console?
Edit: I know I can still read the info when building normally, this question is specifically for building with the debugger.

View 2 RepliesSuppose one does:
var myLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
myLoader.load(new URLRequest(xmlPath));
myLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, processXML);
[code]...
here xmlPath is the path to an RSS feed. I parse the xml and what not but then i define a dynamic text box in processXML which uses the parsed data. for example:
bla.htmlText = "<p><a href="http://www.fandango.com/drive+angry+3d_131568/movieoverview?wssac=123&wssaffid=11840"><img src="http://images.fandango.com/r84.9.1/ImageRenderer/69/103/images/no_image_69x103.jpg/131568/images/masterrepository/tms/94283/94283_aa.jpg" alt="Drive Angry 3D" title="Drive Angry 3D" border="0" /></a> Opens Friday, Feb 25, 2011</p><p><a

This is fine except that because the loader event fires after loading the xml file the text is showing up "before" the src images inside this html actually are loaded...
for example:
var retrieveMe:String;
box_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, boxClick);
function boxClick(event:MouseEvent):void
[code].....
ActionScript Code:
package com
{
[code]....
i want the value of "newAngle" to be accessible outside of this function.
I am doing something dumb i'm sure....
Code:
function aim(e:MouseEvent):void
{
adj = mouseX - gun_mc.x;
opp = mouseY - gun_mc.y;
[Code].....
I would like to retrieve a value from a function(e.MouseEvent)?

When not, which solutions does replace this attempt?
My previous several posts had to do with this, but now it's driving me nuts. I'm trying to use the same imgArray data in the xmlLoaded function in the initThumbs function.[code]...
View 1 RepliesI am posting a thread regarding passing a javascript returned value into Flash. It is slightly complex due to the solution I am looking for must target Flash Player 6.
I have looked at various solutions including the Flash / JavaScript Integration Kit wrote by the guys at the former Macromedia. Unfortunately the solution involved includes various classes and then import them in Flash which produces the following error:
The class or interface 'com.macromedia.javascript.JavaScriptProxy' could not be loaded.
The Javascript I want to retrieve the value from looks like:
<script language="JavaScript">
<![CDATA[
function CheckIn(){

I just need to pass the returned value into a variable within Flash.
How can I call a funtion and set a parameter to call a variable and load that information inside other function?

I have a web page with a couple of Flash Input TextFields. When I press a button on my web page, I am using javascript (jQuery) to get all the values from the text fields and checkboxes etc on the page.
In order to get a value out of my Flash TextField, I understand that I have to use the ExternalInterface API. I am using ActionScript 3.0 and Flash CS4.
In the flash IDE, I have a layer with just the textbox instance and another layer 'actions', which has all the actionscript.
As soon as I put: import flash.external.ExternalInterface
in my code, then the textfields full functionality does not seem to work on the webpage.
I assumed what I had to do was something like:
import flash.external.ExternalInterface;
ExternalInterface.addCallback("getFlashFieldText", getText);
function getText():String {
return myTextField.text;
}
then I thought that perhaps I had to call a javascript function to return the textfields value like so:
function getText():void {
var word:String = myTextField.text;
ExternalInterface.call("alert", word);
}
but nothing is working, and I think it is strange that the textfields functionality (some letters being styled) does not work as soon as I import the ExternalInterface class. I have tried putting the ActionScript 'actions' layer in a package, but it didn't help. As you can probably tell I am new to Flash and Actionscript, and I would be very greatful if someone could point me in the right direction.
I am trying to send some information to a javascript function on the same html page as the swf file is in. I used the tutorial here on Kirupa but for same way it doesnt work.
ExternalInterface.call("fillForm('"+ l.x, l.y +"')");
ExternalInterface.call("fillForm", l.x, l.y);
These are the variations I tried.

View 2 RepliesI'm having a major issue with my XML.. I want to load it up and then be able to use it elsewhere outside the function that is called by the loader.. but so far haven't had any luck on this whole thing. I've tried static, global, etc. Even did a return within the "gotList(evt:Event);" function... so how do I use the information that gotList provides outside of gotList itself? Full code is below.

View 5 RepliesI have seen more than a couple of sites using flash content and displaying it based on the URL string.
For example, accessing http://domain.com/ loads the site normally and the SWF object displays the home page and sets the URL to http://domain.com/#/home. Then accessing the About section sets the URL to http://domain.com/#/about
Also, if accessing http://domain.com/#/services directly (from the browser's address bar), loads the site and the SWF displays the Services section automatically.
I have an AxShockwaveFlash object in a Windows Forms application, and load a (AS3) movie into it with LoadMovie.

View 2 Repliesan easy answer for 99% of you. I have a custom class 'Users()'. In PHP I have all the values being populated correctly. When I go to Flash Builder - and do the test function - All the data comes back properly. However, when I click a button and refer to the lastResult property of the CallResponder - it comes up NULL the first time, and then if the button is clicked a second time it will return the correct result. What step am I missing? I had the same problem with something simliar last night and am getting BEYOND frustrated - especially since I know it is some SMALL detail I'm overlooking.So just for clarification - lets say there is a button named button1So button1's click handler:1) Validates the text input properties2) Asks the server if that user and password match3) If they do - then I want it to grab all of that specific users info and put it into a User class. Again - when I test this function/method from within Flash Builder all the values come back as they should. It's just on the first button click they come back NULL...he second click they populate fine - I.E.-
Alert.show(currentUser.userFirstName); (First Click - NULL)
Alert.show(currentUser.userFirstName); (Second click - "Jack")
