how do i save all my data without assigning them instance name 1 by 1? is it even possible?
btw where do i use the sharedObject? in the documented class or on every classfile?
i just want to clarify things before i make another error.
I was wondering if it's possible to assign seperate MC's the same instance name. Say, like, 'boundary' so I can have various boundaries and not have to worry about it.I could use a for loop and name each boundary something like bounds1, bounds2, bounds3 etc. but I'm wondering if there is an even easier way.
View 7 RepliesI have a 4x4 set of square buttons that I need to give instance names to. They will be named 'btn_1' thru 'btn_16'. Is there any shortcut to assigning the names or do I have to go through 16 times clicking on the button and clicking down to the 'instance name' text box?
View 2 RepliesI've created a card class that holds the specifics properties each card can have. Now I'm trying to figure out a way to associate the graphic with the card. What I have now is a movieclip with each frame representing a different card. The movieclip is linked to the card class I created.I'm trying to do it with variations of this.gotoAndStop(frame#) in the constructor of my card class, which gives me a card graphic but not having much luck in gettng the frame number to increment to the next frame with the next call for: var cardname:cardclass = new cardclass.The worse part of this is I'm not even sure I'm on the right track here, so my main question is: Is this even a viable way to accomplish this? If not, please give an overview outline of how I should be approaching this.
View 1 RepliesI'm pretty sure there is a simple solution to this problem and I'm going to feel really dumb for not figuring it out myself but for some reason I am stuck so here goes. I have several movie clip "buttons". I would like, on release, to load a dynamic text file into a container clip on the stage. Pretty simple right? Here is the code I am using:

Let's say you have the following xml document. Now how do I access the name thumb here is my loop. Also I want to store the value in an array but I don't want the xml tags to be stored in there as well. How do I get rid of the xml tags with assigning the data to an array.
View 1 RepliesI have an all flash website I am finishing. On the "index" page of it, there are 7 buttons all pointing to different painting galleries on another page (or another MC in this case).
These 7 buttons happen to be movieclips so that I can have animation on rollover and rollout. A sample of the current AS2 code for them is below:
on (rollOver) {
gotoAndPlay("s1");
}
[Code]....
In this case, on the index page there is a movieclip with successful animation on rollover/rollout. I assign this clip the instance name of "gallery0" and when clicked, goes to a separate page showing the first gallery.
My problem is this, whenever I do assigned the instance name to any of the 7 movieclips, the animation no longer works. It simply sits there in the default state and acts as it should as far as navigation goes.
Is it possible to add a textField dynamically but have different instance name each time this is created? In other words if I have a button that whenever its click it will add a textField to the stage and assigns a new instance each time this is added.
ActionScript Code:
button.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, addField);
var inputWidth = 200;
var inputHeight = 20;
function addField(event:MouseEvent):void{
[Code] .....
Something like this but instead of textFieldName this would be different each time.
I have a small issue with instantiation of an xml loader class. I'm using a standard way of loading external data and assigning it to "myXML" variable. My class uses event.COMPLETE for loader to make sure that data is fully loaded. Everything works fine until I make an instance of this variable in to my Main() class. The trace of "myXML" gives me null. It's like it didn't assign data on time. Since the onComplete event handler should take care of any delays it is hard for me to figure this out.
View 4 RepliesI want to get my movieclip "dial_graphcis_mph" to start at X position 0, move to X position -292.35,move back to X position -220, and then yoyo between -230 and -220.Is it possible to do this without using the TweenTimeline class or similar?I want to keep all the code on the stage with the movieclip if possible...The following code only yoyos between 0 and -292.35.
stop();

Basically looking for a way to get the instance created when I use this function I've made, it seems to me "libItem" will be a new instance and I would like to re-assign that back to the item passed into the function so I can access the instance later.
Here is the function I created to create library on the stage...
Code:
function objectPlacer( libItem, instance:Class ):void {
libItem = new instance( );
addChild( libItem );
}
So here is how I call the function
Code:
// Function( var name, library item class name, pos x, pos y )
objectPlacer( i_ranks, txt_Ranking );
My problem is, I try to access "i_ranks" later with the following code...
Code:
i_ranks.x = 100;
And I get the error:
TypeError: Error #1010: A term is undefined and has no properties.
"i_ranks" is defined as a class member.
Also, if you know - what should types should I be assigning the parameters instance and libItem in the function?

View 1 RepliesI have a problem which i hope some one can help me with. I am loading in data from an XML file. This works fine, i can trace the contents of the XML file. The problem i have is this. I want to save each attribute to a class variable so i can call upon it with a getter method.The code is below:
Code:
package XML
{
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.net.URLLoader;

If i trace(path) inside the processXML() its displays as expected. but if i fire my getter method path() im returned a value of null.
I have a move clip called 101.
[Code]...
assigned to 101. Inside of 101 I have dynamic text fields with the var names of price, fee, and state.I have a movieclip 102 that is exactly like 101. What I need to know is, how can differentiate 101 from 102 so that when the db data comes in that 101 and 102 display different info?Also, I can't change the var names. They must stay as price, fee, and state in both movieclips.

i am using loadvars to load url encoded data from a php file.
when i trace the output it shows that the variables have been retrived successfully.
now i need to use the values by assingning then to a variable. i cant seem to get this going
i am using flash 8 with as2.
myVars.onLoad = function (success) {
if (success) {
trace (" variables loaded ");
ad1id.text = myVars.ad1id;

is the above method used for assigning the variables correct.
i'm linked a MovieClip class object to my project, and i will programatically add it to the display list. is there a difference between defining the variable's data type and not doing so? neither produce a runtime error.[code]
View 1 Repliesafter assigning loaded XML data to an array of objects, i would like to remove the XML from memory, or at least available to the garbage collector. however, doing so also removes the assigned object values in the array. rather than calling XMLdata = null;, i'm calling System.disposeXML(XMLData); as directed by the documentation:

I have a few values in Java VO, and using cairgorm framework, i had mapping the Java VO to Action script VO in Flex and given same variables name as java Vo variables name. Now the Vo is mapping fine and when looking the result all variables are displaying as null. Can i know the reason for that.Java returning list of VO's.

import com.adobe.cairngorm.vo.IValueObject;

I am trying to assign a value from my database to a variable inside my Flex application. So far I read up a few ideas and I have at the moment the following code using a PHP web service:
protected function btnSubmitUser_clickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void
{
username = txtUsername.text;
[code].....
I have an xml file (externally saved) that is similar to the following:
[root]
[main]
[title]...[/title]
[Code]....
What I like to do is to get what's in [title] tag using HTTPservice, import it into Flex, and save it as array objects, and do the same thing for [content]. This way I can later refer the array object saying title[0] or content[2].
I have generated a service call to a service called ServiceName.getService() - I can successfully pull data displayed inside mxml layout elements, but, instead of displaying it, I just want to assign it to a global.
I always get an error on the second line below - apparently the value has not been fetched yet. I have also tried adding a listener, and setting the global value on COMPLETE, but that is apparently never called. (I am guessing this generated service call stuff does not actually trigger a COMPLETE?)
Short question is: how do you simply assign a variable after you have loaded it via a service data call. (Not just HTTP)
getServiceResult.token=ServiceName.getService();
GlobalVars.variablename = getServiceResult.lastResult.variablename;
I'm a second day action script student with a specific goal. I would like a button to load a movie clip to a specific place. I have a button with the "LoadMovie" script and it loads the movie onto level 1, but I don't know how to give whatever it loads an instance name so that I can direct it specifically where to load.

View 1 RepliesI have an Access Database (doesn't need to be Access, I can phpAdmin or mysql, whatever will work) that has a list of names. I want the user to open a Flash form and have the names load up into seperate input boxes for each name. The user can then change the names, move them, whatever, and then save the record. I want it to just overwrite the record. I donlt want create a new record. I cannot, for the life of me, figure this out. I have tried to find some tutorials but nothing makes sense. Is ASP a good way to go? I have been struggling with this for a week now.
View 3 RepliesI am programming a web based application with Actionscript 2.0 classes for flash 8, and I want to save user data using the local shared object.As the data is potentially rather complex I would prefer to store it in an instance of a custom class that I then stick in an array property of the local shared object data property.However, when I try to do this, if I retrieve the stored object it seems to have lost all its instance methods. If I do a for in on it, I can see the private properties to which I have assigned my data, but as they are private I cannot retrieve them.how I can store an instance of a custom class in a local shared object without it being corrupted in this way?
View 4 RepliesI am planning an eLearning project for an AS3 version of a family health history diagram (pedigree/genogram). A major consideration would be whether the diagram (created by the user by their inserting square, circle, other symbols, connecting lines, text labels, etc.) can be saved and re-opened for editing, so the user can build their family health history diagram, edit, change/add to it over time.
I've seen XML mentioned as a possible method for saving data and wondered if it (maybe by adding a server-side script-ASP, PHP) can save/re-open for editing, x,y positions of shapes, line positions, angles, length, type, etc. An SO could also work, but I'm not sure if 100 kb is enough for this data (if the Max storage is not changed in player settings, by each user).
I have a text file that I'm loading in, and that works just fine, but I want data to be saved to the file and I can't figure out how to.
